The' trravit and magni tude of fhe'Indtan Territory land scandals become more ;and more apparent ' as, time goes on and it is freely pre dicted that they will far over shadow the postal frauds when. tho facts are finally dragged to light, Practically all the members of the Dawes Commission now appear to have been involved in schemes to defraud the Indians, orat east profit at their expense, and have accomplished this end by becoming members of land investment syndicates- Several employes of 'the De partment of the Interior bnve also been found to have itching and smutty figured, ttQ.ttfbly. George Wiight, .. '3-'... .. .. i a... an tnaian.imipecior, arm nee retary llitchepck's mosttrus ted advisor, also u united States attorney, his asBlst" ant and other subordinates of the Attorney General. Sec retary Hitchcock, whose per sonal honesty no one doubts, appears to have been hopes lessly hoodwinked and he ev en now seems to be grossly incompetent and at a loss to know how to deal with the rascality in his own depart ment, Charges that the Secreta ry deposited a fund of $700,- 000 acruing from the sale of lots of llobart, Lawton and Anadorka, Oklahama, in a St, Louis trust company in which ho was interested have been entirely disproven, but it has been discovered, that the Secretary did not pursue the usual method of handling these funds but deposited them with the Treasurer of the United States where they are subject to his personal check and that he detailed the auditiug of the accounts to the General Land Office, a subordinate buieau of his de partmpntwhich.it is claim ed by Treasury Department officials, is in clear violation of the law. It is further claim ed that while the disburse ments made from this fund have been audited by the Land Office, the receipts have not been audited at all and the appearances are that the Secretarj has permitted a personal antipathy to the Auditor for the Interior De partment to bpriously influ ence his judgment and to lead him into violating the law. The President has ordered an inquiry and the Secretary has, at the suggestion of Mr. Roosevelt, requested a man who is in no way connected with the Interior Deportment to undertake a thorough in vestigation, but so arduous and thankless does the under taking appear to be, and so difficult is it to get along with the irraciable Secretary that considerable difficulty in being experienced in get ting the desired investiga tor to undertake the task. The acl ing Attorney Gener al is also trying to secure some one to make a special investigation of the employ ees of the Department of Jus tice who are charged with 'ni,m' r".Q but .h is Ur liu been unsuccessful. There is the greatest relief in official circles in Washing ton over the news that Vice Consul W, C, Mngelssen at Teirut, Syria, has not been murdered but merely fired at the shots failing to take ef fect. When the news was first received that Magelssen had been shot, the President or dered the European squad ron to Turkish waters and that order will not be revoke ed as it is deemed essential to the safety of the American citizens in Turkey that there take place a demonstration of naval in the vicinity. The European squadron, which is under the command of Ad miral Cotton, consists of the the protected cruiser Brook-1 vn which carries a crew ot 517 officers and men, the protected cruiser San Frarw cisco, which carries a crew of 383 officers' and men, and the gunboat Machias, which car ries a crew of 151 officers and men. It is the belipf of the President and Secretary Hay that the presence of tho Amer ican fleet will act as a moral deterrent against tho vio- lance of fanatics towards th. Americans, and will impress on the Sultan the necessity of protecting American c i t i - zens, The President has executed what is considered a very clever coup in dealing with union labor in the govern ment printing office. He has instructed Public Printer Pal rner to administer to every employe the oath of allegi ance, always exacted from employes of the government other than laborers. W hen the bookbinders first talked of going on a strike because of the reinstatement in the government bindary, oftheir expelled member, William Miller, it was announced that under the law any man who has taken tho oath of office and '.hen conspired by stri king wou'd never be able to get his place back. Then it was discovered that the prin torn, binders, etc., had never taken the oath. The decision in the Miller casp is still be ing delayed and meanwhile the employes of the office are being sworn in, so that it h believed that the President has found no ground in the char gr'S preferred against him by the bookbinders union for disinissimi Millfi. a n d therefore tho union men will be obli-HI to violate their constitution, or revise it, as they will be forced to worL under a nonunion foreman. The investigation of t h e methods prevailing if1, -.t li e printing office ordered by the President, has been eomplo ted but nothing is yet known of the results. President Roosevelt h a s Irom time to time been sub jected to considerable, criti cism because it was alleged that ho had pemitted t h e railroad companies to fur nish him with the special train with whichjho made his western trip, but the most conservative papers have re frained from mentioning the HUtjject because they could not ascertain the facts. Now, hosvevtr, a 'friend'' u t i President comes out with an authorized statement in which he admits that Mr. Roosevelt was merely follow ing the precedent set by his predecessors, f leyeyeland, Harrison and McKinley. In his statement of the easo the "friend" is mistaken, howev er. Harrison and McKinley traveltfl at the expense of the railroad companies but Mr. Cleveland nhvsij s paid h i s own expense, including, of course, the cost of the spec ial trains on which he travel led. Mr. Cleveland appears to have been tho only recent President who has hesitated to place himself under obliga tions to the railroads. THE PLEASURE OK EATING.

A New York Editor on tko Hamlet In eident. Charlotte Observer. In discussing the recent Booker Washington incident at Hamlet where a party of about thirty negroes w e re breakfasting in the regular dining room of the railroad hotel while white passengers were offered accommodations at an improvised table in the writing room. TheMew York Evening Post says: "Mr. Washington and a party of educated and well behaved colored men arrived at Hamlet, a restaurant sta tlon, whpii some white per sons were in sight, and serv ed in the only dining room. Tho whito travelers included Senator Bacon, of Georgia, and for them the restaurant kepper stupidly set plates in a hide room. Some of them must have been 'pore white trash' for they swallowed this insult as well as their breakfast. Not so, Seuator Bacon. That Spartan and some of his friends walked up and down the track andnur1 ed their hunger.' Of course they did quite right, The res taurant keeper should have turned the 'niggera' out at once, breakfast or no break-. fait, and taught them their place. Better yet, the negroes should have never asked for food at least this is tho on pinion of the Charlotte Ob server which declares that 'it would have been much better for the entire party to have gone hungry than for the matter to have taken the step it has.' It also explains that Booker Washington is likely to be much injured by such incidents. He has con- dutttod himself in 'such a man ner as largely to undo all the good of his Nashville speech' bv his mate mu ishness in eating instead of going hun gry. 'Washington knows bet tor thnn to take advantage of his rights-in this manner,' concludes the Observer. Pie- ciseiv; ana lor sncn wickou- i i m 11 ness we hope ho will be deni ed breakfast wherever h e goes as long as he lives. We can think of no more fitting punishment for so horrible an offence as eating when ask ed to." We pass the inacuracies of tho statement in tho forego ing, and tho fine sarcasm which runs through it. to re peat what we have frequent ly said: that there is a class of people of high culture in the North who aro absolute- jv incapable of apprehending the serititiient of the South upon the fcubj'vt of raceequal ity. The editor of the Even ing Post is of this type, He would no more hesitate to sit down with a negro at. a hotel table at Hamlet or at a banquet board in New York than with a white man, sup posing both to be "educated and well behaved," and for the life of him he can't under stand why a S o u t h e r n er should object.

Heconsid ers the Hamlet incident with open-eyed wonder, then breaks into a laugh at the folly of men who, can see a guilt which is hidden from his eyes. It is not worth while to argue this is said in no spirit of discourtesy-withgen tlernen of that type. In vain the objects of nature are pom ted out to the man who is blind; to no purpose do strains of music fall upon ears that are deal;. in vain, as in argument addressed to faculties which are absent. So be it. Nevertheless, who ever else may fail to recog nize the racial distinction, the Southern white man, rec ognizes it in all its keenness, and, notwithstanding ridi cub or protest, will main tain, in all its integrity, the barrier, which separtes the races in a social sense.
