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.

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.

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

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
