DH. MILLER wants to make hluisolf a

IF Dr. Miller had aa much legitimate

on every occasion to defend glaring abuses
and "freo trade" In railroading.
YOUNG KUIIN , who was graduated first

IF the city council would not allow
outsiders to make speeches daring Its sea
along , It would got through Us bnslnejs
before midnight. The proper place for
outsiders to do their talking Is in the
committee room , and not in the councl
chamber. The council committees hold
a meeting every Monday evening to got
business In ehapo for prompt transaction
at the regular mooting of the council.
So MUCH indignation has been aroused a
in Georgia against the iniquitous prison
system that exists in that state , that In
nil probability the tfcxt legislature wll !
causa a radical raform. The farming on
of convlctsju chained gnngsto [ contractors
who grow rich cut of their hbur and
treat them most brutally , is not only
Inhuman bat It Is an outrsga npon hones
laborers with whom those convlcbs an
brought Into competition. The rccn
revelations of the cruelties practiced b ,
hard-hearted overseers have attracted
the attsutlon of the
people not only o
Georgia but of the whole country , and 1
Is the general sentiment that the farmln
ont of convict libor Is agtlnst pablb
policy and must bo ctoppod. The con
vlct farms , 03 the plantations wher
convicts are employed , are called , are
dlsgraca to Georgia , and the sooner they
are abandoned the bettor it will bo fo
the credit of that state.

TELLER ANDTHE CATTLE LEASES ,
Thu decision of the administration that
the cattle leases tn the Indian territory
are void , and ( hit the cattle kings matt
vacate the lands which they are illcgilly
ocmpylng , certainly pats Secretary Tel-
or , who whllo secretary of the Interior
petmlttcd these leases to bo mode , In n
very unovlnblo light. Wlthouthlsnsslst-
nnco the tyndlcato of land-grabbers could
not hnvo eoonrcd poisesalon of nearly
four million acres. His action in the
matter was questioned before ho wont
ont of the office of secretary of the In-
ttrlor , but ho maintained that ho had
done nothing but what was perfectly
straight , and that the leases wore
good things for the Indiana for whom
they produced & revenue. Although ho
did not technically approve the leases , as
ho could not do so without a violation of
the federal statutes , yet ho did every
thing In his power to assist the syndicate.
Do wont so far as to soy In a letter in re
ply to ono of the chief members of the
syndicate , that while the Interior depart
ment would not recognize the agreement
or loasa hold by him , or any other
of Ilka character , to the extent of ap
proving the same , nor to the extent ot
atsamltig to sattlo controversies that may
aries between the different parties hold
ing such agrcomont , yet the department
will endeavor to see that parties having
no agroomcnt with the Indians are not
allowed to interfere with thoio who have.
Mr. Toiler also assured the syndicate ,
through this member of the ring , that in
structions would bo issued to the agents
in accordance with his letter. It was
under such a decision that the c.V.-
tlomon invaded the Indian territory ,
and that Is all the tltlo that they have to
the landr , and all the right they have for
occupying them up to the present tltno.
Oorbilnly no ono can blame the adminis
tration. for declaring the leases void. It
certainly could not do anything olso.
The charge has beau madoat various times
that Mr. Teller has been an Interested
pntty In these loacoa , and upon this point
the Denver Tribune says :
The matter haa become ono of national
prominence , and the end is not yot. The
people believe that Mr. Teller violated hia
solemn oath of oQico , and entered into n con
epirncy to aid A corrupt syndicate to obtain
illegal possession of four million acres of land I
of immenaa valuo. There nro persons waiting - '
ing to testify to the truth of the charges that
have been mado. Ono man , oC reputable
standing , has informed us that ho will testify ,
if an investigation shall bo begun , that Secre |
tary Teller was an indirect owner of an Inter
est in the lenses.
Let Mr. Toiler ask for nn investigation. It
is the only coarse open to him. Lot him moot
his accusers face to fnco. Lot those who are
desirous of giving testimony bo hearl. If *
they do not prove the truth o tha charges ,
then the Tribtme-llipublictin will bo the first to
admit that it has done Mr. Teller n gross Injustice
justice- .
THE PANAMA CANAL.
The success of the Panama canal does
not after all depend so much upon money °
as it does upon the problem of damming
and turning asldo the Chagres river. Up
to this tlmo tbo engineers have been un
able to discover a solid foundation for |
the dam. According to a Panama corre
spondent of the Now York Tribune , If
the canal is built the Ohagres must coiso |
to flow In its old course and bo no longer
tno capricious and uncontrollable river ,
working devastation at its will. If the
Ohagros is not controlled the canal can
never bo buiU. This river , rising In the
mountains , runs between high banks.
Like nearly all mountain streams it la.
mere crook not over two feet deep ' of
daring the dry porlod , but In the
rainy season It rises thirty foot
In a single day , and becomes a destroying
and resbtless torrent. It will bo seen
that the control of such a stream la Indeed -
deed a difficult problem , and whether it
can bo solved remains to bo seen. Acco
cording to the calculations of a celebrated
American engineer , who waa recently on
the Isthmus , the proposed dam at Gam-
boa , according to the plans of the French
engineer * , will have a prosstiro of 12,000 a
pounds to the equiro foot on Us foundv r1
tlon. Such a structure must necessarily
have a solid resting place , and yet at the
depth of sixty feet no rock has been
found. It is pretty generally admitted
by persons competent of judging that
without a rock foundation no dam
can bo built that will anstver
the purposa , and without the dam
the OnagrcB Is uncontrollable , hence the
canal cannot bo constructed. Neverthe
less the canal company fans "tho
effrontery , " In the language of the cor
respondent , to continue to represent that
everything Is moving satisfactorily ,
the managers do not wish to confess that
iho project Is bound to prove a failure.
Is assorted that their published state
ments of the progress of the work are
dootorod with exaggerated figurea and
other misrepresentations , and that If
the trao condition of affairs were gen
erally known they would soon ba unable
proceed on acsount of a lack of funds ,
the i\ow \ of money from the subscribers
to the project would naturally dwlti-
to a in era nominal amount.

Written for the BEE.
The proclamation of President Cleve
land announcing to the country the death
of the world-ronownod here and patriot ,
Grant , and his tender and nlfactlng tele
gram to Mrs. Grant , nro models couched
in choicest diction ; every line and every
word bear ovidcnco of the deepest slncer
Ity and emotion. They do honor , alike ,
to his head and heart.
In this tlmo of universal sorrow ,
most agrocablo phase of human nature Is
presented to view. All political dlfler-
onccs disappear for the tlmo being , and
nil partloc , classes , sacti , conditions , and
sections are foremost in bestowing honors
upon the Illustrious dead. These who
were of the party in opposition to him
when ho was in political life , now vlo
with his political friends in giving ox
prcsslon to a nation's sorrow , and in
crowning him with glory. Thla course
opens to the light ono of the noblest
traits of the human diameter. It Is alike
hononbb to thorn , and to the great
American heart.
IN THHI5E SKETCHES OF QRANX's SEIIVICE
IN T11E FIELD
there have boon as nuny different
statements as to where and when his first
service was rendered. In ouo it wts
stated , that , on receiving his commission |
as brigadier general on the ! Mi of August
1801 , ho was put In command at Cairo ,
111. About thu middle of August the
writer reached St. Lonls , with his regi
ment , the First Nebraska , and waa Im
mediately hurried off by Gon. Fremcnt ,
then commanding the western depart
mout , to Pilot Knob , the end of the Iron
Mountain railroad , eighty miles south of
ot . Louie , then threatened by Gen ,
Ilsrdoe , with orders to report to Gen ,
Grant , who waa In commend at that
paint. Af.or being there three weeks ,
and when Grant was organizing an cxpc-
di'lon to Bird's point , and across the
Mississippi to Cairo , to hia utter astou
ishment and diegnst , and without
any conceivable reason , Gen. B. M.
acPi
Prentlss ; cf Illinolr , arrived at
Pilot Knob with orders to suparccdo
Grant. The latter was then ordered np
into the Interior of Missouri. That upset
completely Grant's plans and hopes. He
had at that time laid out the programme
of capturing Paducah , Fort Henry , Furt
Donelson and Nashville , and obtaining
control of the Tennessee & Cumberland
ralltvny. His purpose was to strike rluht
into the' heart of the confederacy and
turn the enemy's flank at Bowling Green ,
Kentucky , for that was Gen. Albert Sid
ney Johnston's headquarters at that tlmo.
A Miss Carroll haa claimed that she orig
inated the transfer of the war to the
Tennessee and Cumberland rivers , nud
has asked the government to reward her
for it with a lirgo turn of money. The
writer is very sure Gen. Grant had not
at that tlmo cvor heard of Miss Carroll ,
atH
Ho did hts own ihinkttfgland originated
and planned his own campaigns. After
being relieved , ho obtained a five days'
leave of absenoa and repaired to Geleni ,
itv waa always supposed , to get E. B.
Washburno's ; assistance in Washington
ta have him ordered to Cairo , as not
long after ho was at that point , and there
Inwi began the campaign ho was preparing
when ho was EO suddenly supplanted by
Prentisa. Ho was well nigh crashed in
spirit when that took place for ho felt
that it wai blighting his hopes. His mil1-
tnry prescience enabled him then to nee
tint was the way to strike the confeder
acy. He was now in the desired position
to carry out his plans. It was the go < d
firtnno of tha writer to rejoin Grant at
Fort Henry.
POLITICAL REFLECTIONS.
It la a hard task for a loading clomc-
cratlo editor to Impart consolation to
democrats who ara in no mood to bo con- .

soothing balm to angry spirits ; a hard
task tu Inculcate views which ho , himself ,
detests ; It Is linrd also for democrats to rc-
oalvo the inculcation of such views , with

FEELINGS OP A WORKING DEMOCKAT.
Ono cf the most prominent and oner-
patio OEC3 in the state , to whom I road n
short editorial touching this subject , and
asking him how hoJikcd II , eald , "to
shoel ( using the King James version )
w l h inch stuff The democratic party
went Into laet yosr'd election to over
throw the republican party throughout
the country , because wo bollevo it wns
corrupt , and to put In its place
throughout thn whole country , the
democratic party. Wo did not propose
to bo satisSod with electing Grover Cleve
land , and securing changes of afow heads
of departments , but wo Intended changes
generally , almost universally. What is
to bo gained by changing the head of the
government , If the agents of the govern
ment are not changed ? Are republicans
better instrumentalities for inaugurating
and carrying nut democratic policies than
domocrattl Cleveland haa secured his
position , and a few chosen onci have secured -
cured theirs , and ho now tutna his back
upon the mats of the party who did the
work * to elect htm. I want no office ,
|
Imvo j no favors to ask , but if this la the
kind of n domocratio administration wo
are to have , then I have done with poll
tics. " I said , "are ihoro many moro
democrats who think and feel as you do ? "
"Yes , the greater part of the domocratio
party of this state fool as I do on this
matter , judging by the expression ] that
luvo couio from nil with whom I have
conversed , and if Cleveland wcro to be
voted for to-morrow , nlno out of every
ten democrats In Nebraska would vote
ugainat him. Wo fool that wo have been
fooled , betrayed , and wo propoio to express -
press oar condemnation cf such betrayal
Cleveland Is norr pursuing the policy
that John Tyler , mMIllard Flllmoro , and
Andrew Johnson , pursued , and
ho will land just whore they landed ,
without a party , and without a
political future. " I remarked to him ,
"You cxpicts yourself very decidedly
and froclr. What result do you antlcl-
pate In Ohio and Now York this fall ? "
Ho rep ied , "I believe the republicans
will sweep these states by anywhere from
thirty ; to fifty thoutand majjrlty. Gann
oral apathy will have command of the
democracy. "
"What do you think of the appointp
mania thus far made ? "
"Ah , there if. is aqain ; some of them
are good ones , but many of them were
not fit to bo mado. Toke this tnan ,
Gardner , just made surveyor-general ; it
Is tm insult to the democracy ot Nebraska

never hai been a democrat , nothing but

such men are to receive the honors uf

hvo done my lost political work for that

"Yes , I have noticed that , " ho re

what VuitWyck has to do with appoint-
mciita under Cleveland ? And as for

for from the republicans ; and ho has
boon appointed to a good paying office ,

satisfaction In over-riding the recommen
dations of the leading working demo
crats of a etitt' , dhtrlcc or county , and
appointing somebody who had no ground
fur recognition and who had never been
thought of for the position. I frankly

LAND IN SEVEBALTY ,
,
The Cornmnnikl Syntcm Urged KB the
Only SnccpBttil Ono for
Indians.
To the Editor ol the USE. t -
I sco In A rccont Issue of the
BEE that your distinguished corre
spondent at Grand IMand , the Hon. John
M. Thayer , in referring to the Indians
and the rnoani that should bo employed to
clvlllza thorn , stated that ono of the a'.ops
for the accomplishment of such purpose [
would bo to glvo thorn tholr lands hi
tovoralty. With all duo respect for the
honorable gentleman and his opinion , I
beg leave t o differ from him aa to the
of such a measure.
Some yetrs ngo Herbert Spencer npon
the eve of his departure from this country
after a somowbni extended tour therein ,
ttatcd , In an after dinner speech , at an
entertainment given his honor by a num
ber of distinguished gentlemen of Now
York , that while ho was profoundly 1m
pressed by the wonderful enterprise , skill
and attainments of the American people ,
yet ho believed there were some roipects
in which they would bo happier wcro
some of the practices nnd customs of the
barbarians In vogue among them. While
Mr. Spencer made no direct rc-feronco to
the laud question in hia remarks upon
that occasion ho might with perfect pro
priety have done so. And wo may to
day , with the same propriety , affirm , M
wo think , the sapotior wisdom of the
savngo in 'regard to the possession nnd
use of land. A few yoara ago the Hon.
Cat ! Schurz , then secretary of the inte
rior , In a report submitted to congress ,
recommended , as a ealutaiy measure ,
that the Indians bo granted tholr lauds iu
severally. Ho thought euch n policy
would go far towards solving the prob
lemi ] , connected with the management and
civilization | of the Indian tribes. The
learned ] and astute Teutonic American ,
however ] , waa taken aback somewhat by
an open letter addressed to him by Bushy-
hend j , the able and edacited chief of the
Cherokoa Indians. In that letter n com
parison was made between the policy
governing thn disposition nnd uuo of land
prevailing among the Indian tribes nnd
that In vrgno among the whiter1. He
showed , snbutantial'y ' , that by the Indian
policy tto treatment of tholr Innds as
the common property of the tribe all
Iho Indians hail nn equal li ht to tbo use
of the Iund , and that among the civilized
Indiana , who used land for every purpose
lor which It can bo mod , there existed a
very happy and prosperous cjndttlon of
soc'ety.
Futthor , it vra.'i suggested to the otatoa-
man by the barbarian that "wero the
hndsof the Indians granted to thorn in
eovcralty very shortly their condition
would bo as deplorable ea that of the
white people of the states. Soon the
moat shrewd , energetic and capable , to
gether with the grasping , selfish and nn
scrupulous Indiana would have the major
part of the land whllo the ordinarily endowed
dewed and conscientious would have no
land , poverty and destitution would
ensue , equalor and splendor , penury nnd
wealth , together with all that awful train a
of ovih incident to modern civllizad soci a
ety would prevail , and whore now in goner
er jl comfort and equality there would bo
found discomfort and Inequality. " No
answer to tbceo points was made by Mr.
Schurx nor have uo slnco heard anything
fnr her from him respecting the giving
of land in severally to iho Indians.
Again : Senator ingills , of Kansas , his
jast returned from u visit to the Indian
territoiy. Ho states that ho waj greatly
and agreeably sarprhcd at what ho saw
and heard In thot country. Mr. Ingalls
found a community of 7,000 people with
nil the appliances and advantages of civ
ilization , pojsoaulug farms , stores , manu-
fsctnries , newspapers , churches , schoole ,
and college ? , r.nd in ( hurt all the nnn-
comitants and accessories of an enlight
ened and refined people. Ho found In
thla community not a single Idle person
who was able and willing to work ; not a
single piupor , and but ono insane per
son. What commanity of iqunl num
bers , In the states , can make such a
showing ?
Now , Mr. Ingolls further found that
land ia held In common by the people.
Eich family or adult pprspn having what
they can nso. Snch holdings being sab-
joct to suitable rules and regulations.
Senator Ingalls thinks ho has discov
ered in the polio ; of theao Indian people
remedy for many of the eoclal and po
litical evils that t ow i fillet 113. And it ol
would not bo surprising in tha near
fu'uro to hoar of his advocating princi in
ples 8S radical as these entertained by
ticnry George. The doctrine of the
natnrnllzit'nn ' of land Is gaining ground
In Great Britain. The radlcul party
leadtra In England have recently enthu lic
siastically celebrated the expiration of it
term of Imprisonment of Michael Davitt.
This is a significant fact na showing the
drift of public opinion thero. The tlmo
fast approaching , doubtless , when the
question of land tenure will become ono
pract'cal importance in tbo United
States. m
The civilized Indians of the Indian an
territory oppose the settling of whites th
among them mainly through fear of the ha
introduction of their Ideas concerning va
hud , and perhaps they act wisely in so Bt
doing. At all events , In the light of the SI
facts the of Mr.
foregoing , suggestion . KB
Thatcr , before Indicated , is not n wlso KBW
ono. A policy respecting land which it ba
easy to show results In the enrichment olc
the few and the Impoverishment of clu
the many in every country In which It S2
prevails is certainly not one to bo recom sld
mended to the Indiaus , or , indeed , to kc
any peoplo. savaeo or civilized. W. kcme

by keeping my advertised promises. It

Within a week my store was so full of
business that I had to send for every
clerk who was away and add two extra
clerks. Tint year , instead of n loss of
$2,000 in tbo summer , I made ? 2,500 bo-
