Laud Grants to .Railroads.
The public treasury is not the
only sufferer from the careless or
crooked dealing of the government
in its gifts of lands to railroad
companies. Neighboring settlers
are often put at a disadvantage
because vast and valuable tracts
are kept out cf their reach by the
nominal ownership of corporations
that have forfeited their titles, yet
maintain a constructive possession
of their grants through the gov
ernment's negligence or conniv
ance. The transportation facilities
on which the pioneer has been en
couraged to rely are not furnished,
and he is prevented from purchas
ing lands he might otherwise ac
quire, through the government's
failure to retake them from the
railroads, and to throw them open
to settlement.
Our own vicing does not by
any means furnish the only in
stance. Among others may be in
stanced the Iowa Falls and Sioux
City road which has received 25,
000 acres more than it is entitled
to under its original grant. The
Sioux City and St. Paul road of
Iowa has had about 85,000 acres
more than its lawful maximum,
reckoning the diminutions by
overlapping grants. Two Minne
sota roads, with a terminus at St.
Paul, have been allowed still lar
ger excesses, one of them re
ceiving a surplus of 350,000
acres. The Cedar Rapids and
Missouri River road has had
300,000 acres too much.
The Winona and St. Peter's has
enjoyed a, surplus of a quarter of
a million outside of the maximum
limits of its grant, and nearly a
million over the proper area, as
subject to diminutions by over
lapping grants to otVer projected
roads.
The government in its dealings
with land grant railroads has
acted not only with the lavishness
but the carelessness of a spend
thrift who fancies that his resourc
es can never be exhausted, and
who has a contempt for keeping
accounts.
Pointers.
Tue duty upon opium entering
the. United States has been raised
from SO to $10 per pound the
high rate going into effect July
next.
A Southern man who during
tiie height of the craze named his
son "Pinafore" hopes he'll die
before the boy gets big enough to
lick him.
The Reno (New) people are
alarmed at the posibiiity of eruption
from an immense volcano which is
believed to be slumbering under
Lake Tahoe.
Eighteen cows were killed in
one day on the line of the Ohio
railroad lt0 miles long. Unfortu
nately, they had no refrigerator
cars on the train.
Joaquin Miller says the daily
newspaper is the "six-shooter of
civilization." Then a man who
carries a newspaper in his pocket
is liable to be arrested for carrying
concealed weapons.
The Orejonian crystalizes a
volume of financial truth in this
sentence. "The only way to make
money easy and cheap is to let it
entirely alone." That's the exact
size of the whole question.
A man breathes about eighteen
times a minute and uses 3,000
oubic feet, or about three hundred
and seventy-five hogsheads of air
per minute. Think of this when
you are tempted to eat onions.
The Khedive of Egypt has his
family doctor and his horse doctor,
and while the first is paid a salary
of $3,000 per year the second is
paid about $9,000. The Khe. is
not the man to take any chances
on losing a horse.
Germany is astonished to find
that at least sixty per cent of the
pupils in every school are near
sighted or otherwise defective in
vision. Keeping one eye on the
teacher and the other on the les
son is awful hard work.
A New York milliner has set
the country in a flutter by dis
covering that only one woman in
ten wears the plume on the fash
ionable side of the hat. "When
you see a woman with two plumes
just admire her sharpness.
Secretary Chandler has ordered
some of the naval officers in that
part of the" world to attend tho
coronation of the Czar. They are
glad of it It will be a great re
lief to their minds to leave Chand
ler's Robeson navy for awhile,
and take their chances with dyna
mite. It is a custom in the Prussian
royal family that every prince
shall be apprenticed to a trade, in
order that, in case of a revolution,
he ma- be able to earn his living.
In pursuance of this rule the pres
ent Crown Prince was taught
watchmaking, and is said to be a
fair workman.
The Kern County Califomian
exposes a bit of superstition as fol fel fol
eows: "Every Friday the passen
ger tram from the north comes
over the road nearly empty. It
was the passenger train of that day
which was destroyed at Tehachipa
Pass in January last, more than
forty passengers losing theirlives."
General Nelson A. Miles has
bought the Stone mansion in Xew
York. The place was once the
cause of a cruel rumor about John
Sherman. It was said that he had
got hold of the Stone property and
was lobbying to get a new execu
tive mansion built out there. Gen-
-eral Miles' wife is a niece of John
Sherman, so he may have got it
from his uncle-in-law after all.
It is" said to reflect that the'gov
ernment might save itself the cost
of advertising in the New York,
Philadelphia, Boston and Balti
more newspapers for bids for the
construction of the new steel eru
siers, since every one of the only
four firms in the United States
which are in a condition to do the
work knew all about the matter
already, and it is said have arrang
ed things peacefully so that they
will not bid very fiercely against
each other.
This touching little incident is
from the Rochester Post. One
rises from its perusal with mixed
feelings: "A beautiful young
girl was about to be married to a
bachelor seventy 3'ears of age, but
very rich. On the evo of her
marriage she learned that his
wealth had been suddenly swept
away, leaving him a penniless
old man. Did tho noble girl de
sert him in this hour of trouble?
She did indeed, and her parents
helped her, too.
This country's hospitality is
practically boundless. It welcoms
heartily all those who arc able and
willing to work, but it has no wel
come for those who come here to
set up in the business of begging
or of becoming a charge upon
those who do work. The country
has exceedingly few paupers of its
own and doe.i not desire to become
tho almshouse of the world, and
our government should be prompt
and emphatic in notifying the
world that she cannot allow this
system to be continued.
The Rev. Talmage prepared a
recent spring sermon and met with
as severe a disappointment as a
woman does in a new bonnet on a
rainy Easter. "The Time of the
Singing of the Birds has Come,"
he announced as his text, and just
at that moment the snow beat
against the church windows. But
Talmage is nol easily disconcerted.
As he heard the sleet upon the
panes he remarked: "As the art
ist draws a curtain over the studio,
that he may better present his pic
tnre, so the dark clouds of this
stormy morning will help us bet
ter to work out the scene of the
text."
Ifrs. Bell, the wife of the tele
phone inventor, if deaf and dumb.
That is why her husband is so fond
of her. For in contriving an au
diphone for her infirmity he hit
upon the idea of the telephone.
She is a very beautiful woman,
and her face has proven a small
fortune to a Cincinnati artist who
came to "Washington and lived in
obscurity until she gave him a sit
ting, when he had the good luck
to make a beautiful picture, which
attracts crowds to the Corcoran
gallery and patronage to the pain
ter. "Women can learn from this how
much god they can do by being
deaf and dumb-
The Now York Times has dis
covered that after July 1 any
American manufacturer may se
cure the absolute exclusion from
the country of competing foreign
goods by adopting the foreign
name or trade-mark for his own
product. Section 2497 of the new
tariff law prohibits the importation
of "watches, watch cases, watch
I movements, or any other article
of foreign manufacture" which
"copy or simulate the name or
trade-mark of any domestic
manufacturer." After the homo
producer has copied the name or
trade mark of the foreign product,
the foreign product will of course
bear a copy of the name of trade
mark of the home product.
Ox the coming Fourth of July
in San Francisco Gen. Sherman is
expected to grace the occasion
with his presence.
The Garfield monument com
mittee will put a 850,000 monu
ment at Washington.
