RENSSELAER lASPEB COUNTY. INDIANA. FRIDAY APRIL J 9 1889

PUBLIC LANDS.

A Decision of V ast Importance by Commissioner Stockslager The National Domain, a newspaper published in Washington, D. (J., and devoted, as its name indieates, to public Imd matters, in its issue of April 1, makes the following editorial comment upon an important decision of Land Commissioner Stackslager:g \v e publish in full in this number th a decision o the commissioner in the case of the Tumacacori private land claim in which, for the first time in the history of the land department, the question of private land claim reservations in Ne*. Mexico and Arizona, their legality and limitations are considered. It appears that great quantities of land have been, for many years, withheld from entry and settlement by the mere clerical ..et of marking the words “reserved” on the tract books without authority of law. The bases for the said marking ar« the plats of socal ed “preliminary surveys.”—• These are surveys of claimed exterior boundaries procured by grant claimants after the surveyor general’s examination and report, as shown in the case mentioned, have b«en smuggled into the printed reports as a part of the original examination. They are known to be grossly excessive in quantity and as held by Commission ?r McFarland “are unauthentic for any purpose.” Yet all the assumed private land claim reservations in the territories mentioned rest upon these fraudulent surveys. Commissioner Stockslager in his decision rejects and sets asicL the preliminary surveys in the Tumacacori case and by this act and by the principles of law laid down has opene . a way for the redemption from iLegal reservations of sevmal millions of acres of public land in the garde i districts of Arizona and NewMexiso.

It is amazing that a practice so unfounded in law and reason, so unjust to settlers, so ruinous to the interests of the government and so absurd as a matter of executive administration as that of holding in assumed reservation great bodies of pubbc land for the benefit of exaggerated and often mythical claims,' should so long have prevailed in the practice of the general land office. It can be accounted for only from the fact that heretofore but one side was presented to or heard by the department. Private claimants have been represented by abundant counsel. The government has had no represeutation, and settlers residing upon the claimed lands have not known the necessity for a representation of their interests. Grant claimants have, therefore, had their own way in impressing their wishes upon the department and in molding official action to suit their own aims. The time his now come when those who want to preserve lands from private and claims speculation and for those who are seeking public lands for settlem nt to rouse themselves and join[hands in the issue which Commissioner Stockslager’s decision has opened for their benefit. The Hon. George* W. Julain the able and efficient surveyorgenerul of New Mexico, referring to the foregoing decision of Commissioner Stacks! ager, is reported as saying:

Mr. btockslager has almost immortalized himself. It will go down in history as one of the great movements in favor of the just rights of the government and the people by the Cleveland administration,- and one, too, which the present republican administration cannot afford to gainsay. If carried out to its legitimate conclusions, it will restore more than threo million acres of land, now illegally held by grant claimants, to the pnblic domain for the ben-

fit of actual settlers. It is the most important step taken under the Cleveland administration. It was the great opportunity that opened up before Mr. Stockslager, and he seized it.with a bold hand, and fortified his position by unanswerable arguments. His other work, compared with this, was mere routine work, faithfully and honestly performed, which reflected credit upon him as an efficient officer, but this latter act, restoring to the people these millions ot acres of land, places him above all his predecessors in its farreaching effects for public good.

THE ISSUE REMAINS.

Ten States, says the New York World, will elections on the stk of November next, and it is safe to say that in all of them the contest will be fought on substantially the same lines, so far as National politics are involved, as those of the late Presidential campaign . The war tariff still remains to burden industry and to hold out illusive hopes to labor. The surplus still swells and continues as a menace to business and au incitement to Congressional extravagance. The rich b neficianas of this most unjust and unequal system of taxation arrogantly deny to their workmen, now that their bounties are secure for “four years more,” not only a fair share in the benefits but a decent hearing of their grievances. And so the issue remains. The position of the Democratic party upon this question is what it has always been. The Democratic partv began in 1840 to de ounce taxation of the many for the benefit of the few. It has never swerved from this position. It declared in she same platform t at “no more revenue ought to be raised than is required to defray the necessary expenses of the Government” on a basis of “the most rigid economy. ” It has constantly reaffirmed this doctrine.— In 1876 the enduring Tilden platform denounced the tariff as “a masterpiece of injustice, inequality and false pretense,” and demanded that “all custom house taxation shall be only for revenue.” In the last the party simply maintained its historic position. It will stick and win.

The turnip-root celery, under wiue* name thia variety of celery is generally acid, is comparatively little known outside of our large city markets, while on the Continent of Europe it ia grown to the almost entire exclusion of the stalk kinds. In these two varieties of the same species it is simply shown how much systematic and persistent cultiva» tion can accomplish in the development of special and different characteristics. While in the one the vital energy of plant becomes directed to its development of the leaves, in the other it is turned to the enlargement of the roots. In celeriac the productions ot large, tender roots is the object to ba attained. These roots, which are irregular, round, of the size of a large turnip, white outside and inside and of a texture similar to parsnips, are principally used as salad. They are boiled like beets, peeled, sliced and dressed with vinegar, olive oil, salt and pepper. A favorite way of serving this salad is to arrange it in the center of a dish, and surround it with a broad rim of red coldslaw, edged with some leaves of corn-salad,the contrasting colors of red, green and white making an ornamental and attractive dish. The sowing of the seed, transplanting and after management differ but little from that of common celery, except that, as it requires not to be hilled-up, it may b< planted closer,placing the rows two feet apart and setting the plants a foot apart in the rows. To obtain large and tender roots the soil must be loose, deep and moderately rich, and in dry seasons a thorough soaking of water should be given every two or three days. The roots are not injured by light frosts, but they are not hardy enough to winter out doors, and should therefore be heeled-in in a cool cellar, or kept in boxes covered with soil or sand.

flow Voi/ftURB Cured the Decay o» His Stomaoh.—ln the “Memoirs of Count Begur” there is the following anecdote: “My mother, the Countess de Segur, being asked by Voltaire respecting her health, told him that the most painful feeling she had arose from the decay in her stomach and the difficulty of finding any kind of aliment that it could bear. Voltaire, by way of oon> solation, assured her that he was one® for nearly a year in the same state, and believed to be incurable, but that nevertheless, a very simple remedy had restored him. It consisted in taking no other nourishment than yelks of eggs beaten up with the flour of potatoes and water.” Though this circumstance concerned so extraordinary a person ar Voltaire, it is astonishing how little it U known and how rarely the remedy bar been practiced. Its efficacy, in cases of debility, cannot be questioned, and the following is the mode of preparing this valuable article of food as recommended by Sir John Sinclair 1 Beat up an egg in a bowl, and then add six table-spoonfuls of cold water, mixing the whole well together; then add two table spoonfuls of farina of potatoes; let it be mixed thoroughly with the liquid in the bowl; then pour in as much boiling water as will convert th® whole thing into a jelly, and mix it well. It may be taken alone or with the addition of a little milk in case of stomachic debility or consumptive disorders,—&*• American.

MERIT WINS. We desire to say to our citizens that for years we have been selling Dr. King’s New Discovery for Consumption, Dr. King’s New Life Pills, Buckiea’s Arnica Salvo and Eleetrie Bit era, and hav® never handled remedies that sell as well, er that have giv?n such universal satisfaction.— We do not hesitate to guaraetee them every time, and we stand ready t© re fund the purchase price, If satisfactory results do not follow their ns®. These remed.es have won their great nepularity purely on their meths.— F. B. M»y«r, Druggist. 1 HOUSEKEEPERS’ HELPS. Pressed Veal.—Take three pounds of veal chopped fine, two pounds of lean, raw pork, also chopped fine, three eggs, a piece of butter the size of an egg; pepper and salt well; bake two hours. When cold, slice it thin. It is like pressed meat and is very nice. To Remove Paint.—One pound of soft soap, one pound of soda; dissolve in one pint of boiling water ; lay a thick coat (while hot) upon the paint with a brush; leave it for one or two hours until it begins to soften the paint, then scrape off what you can and repeat. When all is removed wash thoroughly with clean water. Brunswick Black, thinned down with turpentine until it has attained the right tone and color, will, if a little varnish is added—about one-twentieth of the bulk of the black and turpentine —prove a stain for imitating walnut and teak wood. There is no difficulty in getting the mixture to dry hard, and »* will take a coot of varnish first class.
