Daily Democrat
KAKH VAM KS IN THE EAST
The rtillailclphla J'rtss of June 19 aays:
One ol the revelation of the census next
year will probably be the showing that the
public domain is nearly exhausted. I he
settlements ol new lands during the pies
cnt decade have greatly surpassed those
made in any other 10 years. If these lands
were all placed in one solid body they
would comprise an area lai ger than Trance
or Germany, and twice as large as Great
Britain and Ireland. In the eight years
preceding the 1st of last January, about
124,000,000 acres were settled under the
homestead and timber culture laws, and
this year and half of 1S90 will doubtless
add enough to bring the total up to 50,000,-
noo acres.
Here is an empire in itsclt.which in 1SS0
was almost unproductive. The most of
this newly occupied land lies in the great
northwestern states and territories.Oakota
showing Hie largest number of settlers and
the greatest area of land taken up. The
knowledge that the arable- lands of the
public domain are approaching exhaustion
was d.nibtless one of the leading causes
which contributed to the recent rush to
Oklahoma. There are, It is true, millions
of acres in the Rocky Mountain region
and on the Pacific coast still unoccupied,
but much of tt is arid, fit for nothing but
pasture or cullivatable only by irrigation.
The Indian reservations comprise perhaps,
100,000,000 acres, but if these were all
opened now they would not appease the
land hunger of the country for more than
five years.
The inevitable result of this exhaustion
of the public domain in the far west must
be a rise of farm values in the east. When
lands can be no longer obtained for the
mere cost of sun eying them eastern farm,
ers will b-. less eager to sell their holdings
for a song and emigrate westward, as they
have been doing for a generation past. It
must also result in bringing into the mark
et the large tracts of unoccupied land still
remaining in the older states. The extent
of these is much greater than is generally
known. Leaving out the states east of the
Allegheny mountains, there are probably
300,000,000 acres of available laud in the
region bounded on the east by those moun
tains, on the south by the Ohio river and
on the west by the western limit of Minn
esota and Nebraska. The southern states
have also nearly as much more.
All of this land '.hat is cultivatable will
have an increased value when it is once
known that fertile farms are no longer at
tainable in the trans-Mississippi states and
territories. It will react also upon the
lands already in cultivation. They are
nearer the great markets o' the cast and
can be tilled to much more profit than the
rich prairies of the we6t, the product of
which must be taxed for the cost of '.he
carriage which is to bring it within reach
of the consumer. A the western states
and territories become more densely popu
lated they are certain also to demand a
larger share of their own crop6 for home
consumption and have less to send else
where. This will compel older states to
rely more and more upon crops raised with
in their own limits. All these causes are
certain to result during the next 10 years
in a 6tcady and permanent rise in the value
cf fatm lands in the eastern states.
A nisnrsTF-n ENVOY.
Hadji Iiassein Ghooly Khan.the Tertian
minister at Washington, is sorely dis
grunticd.and thinks he will betake himself
to the land of roses, dates and rug?. Per
haps it is better that he should. The brac
ing air and wide range of possibilities of
the Occident have been too much for the
unsuspecting oriental. He does not take
kindly to Washington ways, and it is as
serted the feeling is cordially reciprocated
by all decent people at the capital. The
gentleman from the east made some grave
mistakes in his first attempts to familiarize
himself with the customs of the country,
lie craved society specially female socie
ty,and his gallantry led him into circles
that can hardly be regarded as select.This,
in itself perhaps, was not so unusual as
necessarily to excite comment.but it seems
that the Persian representative fai'ed to dis
tinguish between the different ordeis of
society in Ahich he mingled. He was a
failure s Drjeykll and Mr Hyde, and
Washington society of the better sort was
soon boiling with indignation. It even be-.-!,
horrible to relate, that on one occasion
he playfully took a lady by the nose with
a jocose remark about the sicof her'bugle.
As this was only one of Mr Hasscln
Ghooly' dplays of humor.hc soon found
himself ostracised, and has been compelled
to remain in seclusion or seek for solace
1.1 the only society that remained open t:
him. In pddilion to tne troubles that he
has brought upon himsdf.lhe Tetsian Amb
it difficult to distinguish between his own
ideas of humor and those entertained by
the newspaper piragiaphers. The play
ful allusion to himself and his august sov
ereign have filled his bosom with unutter
able disgust, fcnd he thinks he w ill resign
and go home. Well, so long, Hadji Ha
aein Ghooly Khan.

A lady who claims to always have the meal
jest of potatoes gives her way of cooking them
ai follows: Feel the potatoes w ith a thin paring
for the best of the potato is nearest the skin,
and soak them ten minutes in salt water. Then
put them on to boil in fresb cold water, cover
the saucepan and set it where it will boil very
fast. When the jwtatoes are tender, but not
overdone, ku- off all the water and sprinkle
some salt over th potatoes. Put on the cover
again, but with a folded towel beneath it to
keep in all the tea3. In five minutes shake
the saucepan forcibly, take off the cover ami
leave the potatoes uncovered in .1 hot place for
a few minutes, slaking it two or three times in
the meantime.
