BILL
New York, Fob. 4. Simply non
sense is th'j story of dise;ise among
cattle reared in the west. During the
time of prohibition the Canadians will
be enabled to dispose of their distillery
fed cattle.
Washington, Feb. -L The univer
sal topic of comment in Washington is
the action of the senate on the New
York custom house nominations. The
largeness of the majority for confir
mation is a matter of astonishment to
almost ever3T one and explanations
differ widety. The result is however,
attributed to jiressure brought to bear
by members of the cabinet. And,
secondly, to exertions made bj Bayard
and other leading democrats to con
vince a majority of their colleagues
that party policy dictated a course in
opposition to that taken by the ma
jority of the republicans. Friends of
Colliding openly charge bribery.
The house, in committee of the
whole on the army appropriation bill,
defeated, by a large majornVp, an
amendment reducing the army to 17,
000. Foreign Dispatches.

Land Titlos.
Walla Walla ITawm.
There is perhaps, no source of litiga
tion so prolific as that of carelessness
in land titles. We find persons of good
business ability in other matters, who
own large tracts of land for 3Tears, and
have no assurance that the title is per
fect. Either through carelessness or a
false idea of economy they neglect to
procure an abstract of their real estate.
Perhaps one-half of the land-owners in
Walla Walla county do not posses a
oerfect title to their real-estate. A mis
take may have been made in the deed;
a deed perhaps misplaced and never
recorded, an improper acknowledg
ment of the instrument taken, or
some other irregularity appears that
ouglt to bo cured. Years afterward,
when the parties executing the con
veyance have passed away, a long and
expensive lawsuit is the result.
These mistakes can be remedied at a
slight expense if attended to while the
parties are living. Every careful,
prudent man should procure a reliable
abstract to his land.
On resigning his seat to Judge
Green, rccenily, in Seattle, Judge
Lewis remark el:
The gin mills have triumphed in
persuading the powers that be that a
change should be made, and 3 rejoice
that Omnipotence has placed in my
stead a man so conscientious and pure
as Judge Green; a man wlm has neither
friends to reward, nor enemies to fear.
Many of the best citizens bear
testimony to the good influence that
Judge Lewis has exeited in promoting
law and order in his district. There
is an element in that region composed
of the most depraved and reckless
members of society, and they were so
numerous that for years they almost
openly bid defiance to the officers in
their attempts to suppress gambling:
dens, squaw-brothels, illegal liquor
traffic, etc., but under Jndjre Lewie1
administration they have been taught
t'lat they must obey the mandatesof
tne law.
