LOGAN of Illinois FitsJdinUalEUxtor., f IX J THOMPSON . WARREN TRUITT J. C LUASURE MMM9MR Land Grants. The democracy nro much concerned nbout U10 grant of lands to railroad cor lwraUono, nnd inveigh ngnlnst tho re publican party for hnYlng sequestered do much of tho public domain. Tho manner in which tho democracy nro attempting to xt8o tills question, or mako political capital ont of it, abounds' in tho mis representation Avhich characterises every democratic arraignment of tho re publican party. There is an absence- of facts to substantiate what tho democracy charge, and when it comes to regarding tho history of land grants in this coun- try, too democratic party is found to liavo been guilty of inaugurating the policy. Senator Dolph's speech in tho United States senate ou the 3d ult which has just reached us in pamphlet form, is aji exhaustive document on. tho land-grant subject. IIo quotes from Senator Slaters speech on the 17th of April lost and shows how ignorant that gentleman was in repard to tho matter under discussion. Slater said: "For 78 years, counting from tho closo of the revolution, tho public lands of tho United States wero regarded as a sacred trust, and wero administered by tho general government, no matter what party for U10 time being held tho reins of administration, as a trust, with n jealous caro for tho interest of tho peo plo who will ultimately mako homes thereon." As Dolph says, Slater sought to contrast tho management of the public domain by tho general government from tho revolution to the timo when tho republican party camo into power with management" under republican administration and, by im plication at least, tho supposed evils arising from the land-crant policy were cliargcd upon the republican party. The policy of making land grants to corpora tions is an inheritance from tho days of democratic rule. It began in 1650, and up to 1857 the democratic party had granted to railroads 33,343,260.72 acres of the public domain. An investigation of these democratic grants discloses two noticeable facts; one is that the grants were to insigniGcant corjiorations whoso enterprises were only 01 local import ance, and tho other is that the grants wero largely made to southern corpora tions. Seemingly no southern corpora tion, however unimportant, had any difficulty in gettinp a land grant under democratic rule. The democratic party initiated tho policy, and under its rule gave millions and millions of acres to roads of no importance nnd no extent. Since tho republican party camo into power an era of transcontinental railway extension lias been inaugurated, and the grants under republican rulo have been to the transcontinental roads which have so developed the west and buildcd up the internal commerce of our country. Tho land grants under republican rule .. amount nominally to 150,095,393 acres. But many of these erants wero made with condiGons which, if not fulfilled, ' forfeited the lands to the government ; and there are many millions of acres of the total which have been actually forfeited, or are still under the Kovern- ment control. These millions of acres therefore reduce the great total, and must be considered in all calculations regarding discussions of the land-grant policv. Of the 150,000,000 acres granted to railroads, 130,000,000 wero granted to the transcontinental roads the Union and Central Pacific, the Kansas Pacific, Northern Pacific and tho others, which have enabled the corporations to con struct roads, and caused the settlement of Nebraska, Kansas, Dakota and other regions of country which have become great agricultural and cattle raising states, adding millions to the wealth of the whole country. As wo say, the total area of public lands voted to railroads Cotter republican rule, a considerable part of which is forfeit, or to be forfeit, to the government, is 156,095,398 acres. The total acreage of farm lands, accord ing to the census 01 lusu, rs kju,imi,! ; sad of these, 24,771,042 acres are under Histant and regular cultivation. In view of these figures, tho democratic assertion that the republican party has "given away the people's heritage till a few railroads ana non-resident aliens, individual and corporate, possess a larger area tlian all our farms between the fx&a," is in keeping with and characteristic of tho misrepresentations with which ttio democratic piauorm abounds. iwjh Jli'iiMjijiwH LIS I"!!1 "i'ggf'igga' Th Change Argument. "When our democratic friends get a lit tlo hard up for political nmilntnltion Uicy never fail to full back on the old talk about tho necessity for a chntiite. Foj years this argument hna Iwn tho re fuge 0! tho hungry ond thirsty In tho democratic ranks, It is a telling argU' mont to men who want something that somebody elso possesses, but un fur tun atoly tho follows in possession nro not anxious for that kind of a clmngc. Tho arguments for nnd against a change arc, na n Kcncral thing, confined to n limited number. The people arc more interest- en in goou government than they nro in regard to who shall possess tho otllcos. Tho men who uso tho change argument must show some reason for their projMwi Hon. Have our democratic friends been conspicuously successful in making such n showing? Tho amument linn bcon used in every campaign for n number of years, nnd has In each Instance been disregarded. There has not been n presidential election in 24 years that lias been followed by regrets bn tho part of tho people that a change was not made. J?o ejection can bo pointed to with tho assertion that tho success of tho democratic party would have been a val uable event to tho country. Quite tho opposite. Tho people have alwavs had reason to bo thankful for tho dofeat of democratic attempts nt a change In tho administrative atOtirs of tho country. Such was tho fact in 18(54, it was tho samo in 1808, in 1872, in 1870 and in 1SS0 jo one wouiu now contend that tuo re peal of the resumption act, which demo cratic Buccess in 1870 meant, would have been a desimblo thlni for the countrv. No ono would now nrt-uo that a "tariff for revenue only," which tho democrats declared for in 18S0, would have been a grand thing for tho industrial affairs of the country. But did anybody over hear of any democrat expressing a do- siro for n change in tho soMil south that would divide tno electoral vote of tho southern states? In this campaign wo near mucn ot iki democratic electoral votes from tho south. An election was recently held in Alabama in which only tho democratic party figured. Tho sen timent in favor of a change does not seem to cut a very important figuro in that state. If tho democrats think a change is tho all-important thing, why do they fail to inaugurate tho matter in tho solid south? For years they have stifled tho truo sentiment in states con tributing 153 democratic votes in the electoral college- Wo iniagiuo that some kind of n change is needed where such political conditions exist, but that prop osition never seems to lie entertained by tho democracy of the nation. Tho trou ble witli our democatic friends is that thoy want tho change all ou one side and to suit their ambition for office. When thoy can show that their success will bring improved government, their talk about otlices may be entertained, but until that timo they must remember that changes in government nro not made for the benefit of officials first and in tho .interests of the government sec ond. The democrats havo always had an erroneous impression on this subject, and it seems to have more than a usual hold on them just at this time. Their Fear of Issues. Tho Rev. Father J. P. Jlclncropypas tor of tho St, Mary's Catholic church at Amsterdam, New York, publishes in the Institute of that place an article on the character of Grovor Cleveland, from which we make the following extract: "No man with Cleveland's bad record in private life can hope for election at tho hands of the American people. The - religious and moral elements in our life are too powerful to admit of such a re sult. The chief reason that Aaron Burr's memory is held in execration Is the record of his lecherous life. Our children are taught to hate tho memory of the man who invaded the sanctity of that happy home on the Ohio river to seek a victim for his lust. Tho pepple cannot be brought to iavor any candi date for nublic honors whoso licentious habits preclude tho possibility of his rej- rcBenling too uesi csiaic 01 .aincricnu manhood in the presidential chair. Tho prohibitionists aro banded together for the promotion of tho cause of temper ance. Thoy refuso to follow cither of the old parties in support of tho rum traffic. If either of the candidates were a drunkard they would condemn him by name as unfit for tho highest office in tho land. Ilowmuch greater reason havo tho Christian churches of our country to condemn by namo tho man whoso im pure life suggests tho treatment occordod Aaron Burr, A minister who approach ed Burr to reconcile him with tho church was asked this question by tho licen tious lawyer and statesman? "What member ol your congregation will per . , tn nit In Ida now?" The minis ter withdrew discomfited. He could not naroo a man who would consent that tho wretch should occupy a place jnhlspow. The attempt to neat him would pavo aroused an Indignaut pro test from virtuous wives and daughters. The American people wljl not take kind ly to another Burr, Tho only chance of sacces for tlia democracy in tho coming election Hea Ih t! withdrawal of Cleve land and the substitution of a statesman wlt-h deaa heart jwmI clean liand," For years it has been impossible to force tho democratic party to meet an issue in presidential campaigns. Of course, there ore excellent reasons for this, but they will not be ndmittcd by the democratic leaders. The democrats have had sad experienro with issues, and havo been taught to look upon them as fatal to democratic success. Wo do not blame our democratic friends for standing in such fear of issues in a cam paign, but wo certainly qbject to their uuuw 01 imiigiiauuii uct.iuec- 111c rcpuuii cans insist on forcing questions into the campaign disagreeable to tuo average democratic mind. About the last at tempt the democrats made to have real issues was in 1803, and the result of that effort was so disastrous that it chilled democratic confidence in issues for all time to come. That was the year in which tho democratic platform mado an issue in favor of depreciated paper currency. That was tho year in which the reconstruction acts wero denounced as "usurpations and unconstitutional, revolutionary and void." Thoso wero affirmative issues which tho democrats havo never forgotten, and it is Cho memory of results in that campaign that causes tho democrats even of this day to shuddorat tho thought of issues. The year 180S marked tho transition of the democratic party from an affirmative bad policy to a negative no-principle policy? and, with possibly one exception, the latter principle has been strictly maintained. The campaign of 1872 was tho capitulation period for democracy. The nomination of Greely and tho adop tion ot the liberal piauorm marked 1110 complete collapse of democratic political ideas as vital forces in American jwli tics. Democratic issues had been kept alive too long for tho good of the coun try, and the refusal to make a demo cratic platform in 1372 was an admission that tho election of 1868 had killed democratic principles if not tho demo cratic organization. Since 1872 tho democratic party has been kind of a parasite on tno body politic. Now and then it succeeded in stealing enough capital to assume a very flourishing attitude, but its growth has always been apparent, not real. Tho (forty gave up some of its political notions, not from desire, but from puro compulsion. Uvea down to i70 democratic naireu 01 tho national debt, contracted in tho war tor tue union, was so great nun m cu gress and national convention the re sumption of specie payments was bitter Wnnnosad. This movement was simp y an outcropping of tho old democratic spirit that was uoiu in iwhj, xiiu princi ple of lwldly opposing the now era of affairs liad simply degoncrated into a demagogical trick. It would no longer do to oppose the payment 01 tho nation al debt, but it was allowable to make the payment as unpopular as possible, The general tendency of tho democratic policy i of about tho same nature to day. It is simply a system of fault-finding; of eternal whining on general principles. No attempt is mado to make an issuo. On tho contrary, the struggle is to ecnio from such a necessity, The democrats treat the frco-trado question about as they did thu national debt. Thnv wanted to scale down tho debt. but not having tho courago to advocate Hint nolicv oncnlv. they favored do predated money as tho noxt best thing, Thoy want roe- trade, but thoy daro tmtnrwnlv advocate rineb policy. To tret rid of the Issue they talk about revenue reform, and when asked what that means, thoy answer that to explain would ralso tho tariffisHiio, and that is not in tliis campaign. The leaders and organs really have not tho courage to discuss tho record of the last session of congress, Thoy wasted almost tho entire session in consideration of a tariff bill, want to va excused front dtsem'slon. It is the oldfdory that this or Unit question has Won settled, or Is not in tho cam paign. It simply comes to thin, that the democrats want their party record left out of the dlsciiHiIonj they want tho tariff question suppressed j thoy want tho failings of their candidate smoothed over, ami everything arranged for dem ocratic success. Such methods havo be come stale. The democratic position is no lonr?ttr entitled to resnoct. That party must fneo tho lssno by its miserable record, its war on tho American system nnd tho political nnd moral ineompo- teney if its candidate. Blaine Sues the Indianapolis Sentinel for Libel.

IU.A1NK, Harrison, Miller ikElam, attorneys, in nccordaneo with Ulaluo's directions. filed this evening in the United StatcH circuit court suit against the Indian npolis Sentinel company., nnd John C Slinminker, its president nnd bulsucss muunger, who, It charges, directs and controlB the publication ot that paper. Tho document proceeds as follows: "That on tho 8th day of August. 1884 said defendants, wickedly intending to injure, defame nnd scnndalizu plaintiff. did maliciously print ami publish, in tho regular daily issue of said paper for that day, of and concerning plaintiff, a certain false, scandalous and defiuna tory article, in the words following: 'Canlllaine nttbrd it? Tho campaign war ngaiiibt Cleveland is, to say tuo least, indecent. Failing to find vulner able points in his public record, his un emies have assaulted a supposed irreg ularity in his nrivnto conduct. Tlicv have dressed and redressed tho nlfafr until the actual facts ot it lire but a small part of tho furbclowed, frilled nnd putted figure walking in tho lllaine republican prints. This lcsmlrching of private character is the stock in trade of the lliaine folks : it is all they havo to offer against tho democratic candidate. But can .Tames O. lliaine afford this plan ot battle? If his Hanks nro as un protected as they are currently under stood to lo, is ho not provoking a scath ing lire by ttermltttug these assaults on Grover Cleveland ? Tho democracy will hardly remain quiet on lilainejs inner life, w lion his supporters are resorting to scandal-mongering against its candi dates. The charges of seduction mado upon Cleveland, and winch aro false up on their von.' face, can, it appears, bo turned on Blalno. and made to stick. There is hardly an intelligent man in the country who has not heard that James G. Blaine betrayed tho girl whom ho married nt tho muzzle ot n shotgun. The democratic press lias had the mag nanimity not to put forth these reports, which must ennso pain to thu memlers of Bhuno s family. Tho republican pa1 pors have long known of thorn and have allowed them to go undenied. If Ultimo was scoundrel enough to betray an in nocent girl, if, after despoiling her, he was craven enough to reiuso her legal redress, by giving legitimacy to her child until a loaded shotgun stimulated his conscience, then there is a blast on his private character more foul ifiios- siblo than the countless stains on his political record. His conduct discloses moral obliquity rendering him undeserv- I ing social confidence and an unfit man to bo president. A candidate with such a record cannot afford to assail his 0 ponont. As between Cleveland and Blaine, what fair-minded man can hes itate to pronounce for tho former, a cleaner and purer man?" l'laifltifriays his damage at $00,000. Thin evening it is understood that to-morrow proceed ings will bo begun ngainst Shoemaker ami the author of tho article, under Grubb'ri libel law, in the state courts This will compel Blaine's attendance as a witness. Attorneys say tho suit anil ciiminnl, proceeding will be pushed witli all possible dispatch. Indianapolis, August 15, Nothing has occurred for years that created so much general interest as Blaine's tele gram. It is universally commented on, and its manly and haughty tone has in spired republicans witli enthusiasm and a determination to see tho caso prose cuted to tho bitter end. Democrats say that Blaine has pursued tho only manly and honorable courso left open to him, and that the Hentlnel committed a mlstako that cannot hut injure tho democrats in the contest. One demo cratic politician said to-day: "If the Sentinel's publications had been mado against my family I would go gunning after the editor of tho Sentinel five min utes later." It is said that when a copy of Blaino's letter was received by the editor he exclaimed "Great God 1" But later he "refused to converse with any ono alout tho matter. Senator Harrison has taken hold ot the -case, and proposes to nrosucute it with vigor. Washikotow, August 15. Blaine's libel suit ngainst tho Indianapolis Senti nel provokes considerable discussion in political circles to-day, and tho opinion is general that his prompt action in the mailer win cuubu wiu m.01 iv ivti n his favor. There was a disixjsition in some quarters to dcrido it as being dono merely for effect, tho trial to bo after the election, but this was silenced by tho assurance that tho case must bo tried In tho October term of tho Indiana courts, and will bo disposed of before election day. Tho St. Louis Post-Dispatch (dom.) is honebt enough to toll just what the idea of the democratic platform makers nt Chicago was. It says: "Thu platform speaks ter itself, fcvorywoay Knows what it is. It is u compromlso. It means everything, nnd means nothing. But it will do well enough to rally the party. It l0"8 "t obscure the real issuo. which is to give tho peoplo a change of government at Washington," Tho re is another mun for Brother Upton to look after.
