GOOD NEWS FOR SETTLERS. n» rMf)*’! HtehmUebly rrotceted by • Dam«tl« AdmlaUtratloo. The President's Instruction* to Secretary Lamar have been obeyed, and the great indemnity belts of public land are soon to be thrown open to the settler. It was the attempt to rob Guilford Miller of bis farm that directed the President's attention to the exclusion of settlers from these belts. They had been shut out, not by law, but by the action of Executive officers who were anxious to serve the great land grant corporations. In his letter concerning the Guilford Miller case, the President says: “Slier a laps* of ttfteen years this Urge body of the public domain is still tetd la reserve, to the exclusion of settlers, for the convenience of a corporate beaeSetsry of the Government, sad sweats* Its selection, though it to cnUrely farta*a thai much of thU rwervsd land can never be honestly claimed by said corporation. Such a condition of the public lands should no longer continue. So far ms It to the result of Executive rules and methods, these should be abandoned " The Secretary now she ws that fourteen land grant railroad companies have made selections in the indemnity belts to the full extent of their right*, and that twenty-two have chosen in those belts all the land that Is subject to selection. The belts have been closed to the settler for various terms, ranging from two years to thirty-seven years. Under the rulings of the department no settler cma aeqnire any rights under any of th* general land laws in anv part of the lielts so long as

they remain withdrawn by fcjfcuuve order. “There seems," says the Secretary. "to bo no valid reason why these orders of withdrawal should not be revoked.1' They are to l>e revoked, for the Secretary's plans for restoring the belts to the public domain have been approved by the President. The action taken by Mr. Cleveland in relation to these lauds will be regarded hereafter as one of the greatest achievements of his Administration. For fifteen years broad bells of public land, covering' in the aggregate 100,000,000 acres or a tract equal in extent to the area of the four Middle States \ and the six New England States, hare, by orders of the Interior Department, been closed to settlers to serve the con1 venicncc of powerful corporations and to enable these corporations to oppress those who might try to make homes within the boundaries. These indemnity belts should pot be confifhnded with the grant belts. In the indeninitv belt* the corporation* have never

hail any rights by law except tlieeigni to select a comparatively small*uiiniber of sections in the grant belts. The boundaries of the indemnity belt* were specified, not in order that the coporations might control the lands included by them, but simply to restrict the area within which they were allowed to select sections in lieu of those in thej grant belts which had been acquired by settlers before the passage of the granting acta. And yet the Interior Department was for years to completely under the control of these corporations that all of these, indemnity belts-—con tuning perhaps fifty sections which the cor porations could never acquire by law for every one section which they rouh lawfully (al^p to makegood their lossc in the grant‘d belts—were prompt)'] withdrawn front settlement by depart ment officer* and have remained clow, until this day. As we have said, thi was not done simply to suit the con venience and caprices of these heavil subsidised corporation^- The evidentShow* that it was done for anothc purpose r» well. Settlors could not gw upon these lands and obtain title from the Government under tlfr Homestea and Pre-emption laws, but they did g on with the hope of milking reasonabl terms with the coporations, for, although the corporations knew th t they could never legally obtain title to more than a small number of sections they undertook to exercise control over tite whole area. They had not picked out their section*. Who could tell where these selections would l|*> made? A hoggish corporation would prefer to pounce upon a settler's improved farm if it could find one. It was the-efforts of seme hundreds Of farmers living in an indemnity belt,' who had t»een oppressed by one Of these corporations, chat caused the present Land Commissioner to decide that Miller whs entided to his farm, and to direct that indemnity selections must be made tipon vacant land. But before this action hatli been taken the corporations had worked their wiiil with the unfortunate farmer* and hitd exacted payment in many cases for Sand to which they could not give clear title. All this jobbery must now ceaie. The companies must take their legal share, an<l in the remainder of this . great tract of 100,000,000 acres the settler will be able to secure title from the Government under the general land laws.—-V. i. Times. RANK SPOILSMEN. mt lUssMlan “ I tm taflm Mat The Republican party out of power is as virtuous in its 'professions of devotion to Civil-Service reform as the old couplet represent* the devil to have been in respect to sainthood when he was sick. What the Republican party is when it has even n remnant of power is shown by the course of it* Senators at Albany. The present Quarantine Commissioners, who are notoriously partisan and personal jobbers: have held office for four years beyond the expiration of thrir terras. The present health officer, who isi notoriously merely the henchman of that political boss, ex-Senator Platt, has held over for three years beyond the expiration of hi* term. The present Commissioners of Immigration hare held office for pasmore than three years beyond the sago of a law intended to Test their "powers in a single commissioner. Governor Cleveland nominated unexceptionable men for these offices, but a Republican Senate refused to contain them. Governor Hill ha* again nominated good men—conceded on nil ssde* to be each—and the Senate purpose* to “hang them up-’’ The Republican party thus puts Itself on record as not only treating the office* a* spoils, by holding on to them after the people of the State have five time* in roted it down in the sleca* maintaining in office i ringsters who misuse public i for factional and personal ends. Truly, the thunder-tone of these spoilsmen’s aetioau quite drowns out their feeble piping in favor of “rar. World. ——While it must be very gratifying to Mr. Platt to hare arisen trout the position of hob to Roecoe Coakling’s kite to be the great Cmsarof the New Tork •(publicans, it can hardly he New Tork ReptiMicada ■» to he eeugratalated uji&ftbW* tjifft.

One of the prominent devices used by the Republicans in the last National campaign whereby to terrify the people was an industrious circulation of the warning that if the Democrats should succeed to power the wheels of industry would refuse to move in their sockets and things in general assume the air of a graTe-yard. A cheap Jewelry firm in Attleboro publicly telegraphed to New York on the night before election: “If Blaine is elected fill our order; otherwise consider it canceled." Similar cheap tricks had been iu operation every day. . But human nature did not radically change after election. Men continued 1 to eat, to wear clothes, to live in houses and even to wear cheap jewelry. The wheels of industry, in fact, moved more nimbly in their sockets than before. It is even doubtful whether the soft-solder man canceled his order. On the whole the condition of business has remained satisfactory, and Is so today. That there are strikes and

numerous disputes between labor and capital is rather an evidence that times are good than the contary. for it is an old maxim to make hay while the sun shines and to strike while the iron is hot. The severe competition among manufacturers has made it necessary to put a far greater stock of goods upon the market than formerly in order to lire, while traders find it necessary to ban. die almost double the quantity of goods in order to secure the gold profits. All this operates to fulfill the great economic law promulgated by Josiah Warren, that the inevitable tendency of coni|»clition is to make cost the limit of price. At this point labor is sure to get its own, and Mr. Atkinson would have us believe that we have already nearly reached it. • Ours is a great country. The summer sun shines down upon a mass of humanity as contented and properous as'grumbling human nature will permit itself to he. The people have no confidence in their rulers. They are gradually unloading themselves of the degenerate Republican party that waxed fat and audacious on the leavings of the great war, and a still brighter prospect stretches out liefore them. The second Democratic Administration will find the Country mure solidly prosIm*rous and happy than at any time since March. 1861.—lioi'lon Globe. 'l HARD ON TnCOMPETENTS. Why Ifiriipfihlfi Kepfiblint* fforks Otijret to the New < iril-Hei T.re Kale*. Beyond all doubt, the prospect of being subjected to an examination as to fitness is alarming to hundreds of the s )>ctted-favorites at Washington. They protest that they do not want to be promoted; that they are content modqptiy to hold on to what they have, and continue in the discharge of duties in which they have become proficient. The cool, sequestered vales they move in now are good enough. Theirs are not grasping souls. The truth is that they fS-ar, not only an examination as to their personal capacity, but an inquiry that may end in demonstrating their siiporfiuousness. They dread the disclosure that there is so little for them to do; that thev have for years liei-n practically their own masters;. ! that they are to lie found at all hours at I their clubs or going the society rounds.

I and, in a word, that tlic Government is 1 -windled every time they draw their | pay. Nine out of ten of t hese men are ; Kepuhlieans or Repuhlieau sympathizers; nine out of ten bewailed the downfall of the Republican dynasty and the overthrow of Republican methods. Nine out of ten of them have, ever since March 4, 1885, shivered, in the i shadow of coming exposure and rejsform. The dreaded hour has come, however, and all good eitizeus look to the Democratic party to make the in- | vrsligation searching and exhaustive, ! and to apply without favor the agencies of a complete and comprehensive reform. —.V. T. Star. BLAINE'S DEFEAT. A Fair Sltwwst of Iks Camas That Dafs>at<Hl tha Plaaisd Knight. Mr. Blaine makes a mistake about his defeat that none of the able friends he has about him is guilty of. Senator Frye, of Maine, one of Mr. Blaine's stanchest friends, in a speech delivered at Moulton, in this State, on the 21st of August, 1885. nearly taro years after the Presidential election.- gave the can.se* of Mr. Blaine's defeat fairly and truthfully. Me said; “You take a magnificent bridal dress, with, its ribbons and splendid laces, and put it on exhibition with a little <ink spot on Its skirt, and you will fiud plenty of men and women who will see nothing but that spot. Now, the people of this country, with an exquiaite fidelity to the best interests of the nation, saw the little bit of smirch on the skirt of Mr. Blame's coat, and therefore voted that Mr. Cleveland.” Mr. Blaine still carries that "little bit of a smirch” on the skirts of his coat, and it is as plain at Bar Harbor as it was while he was dining and wining with Gonld, Sage, Dillon, et ak in New York en the eve of election, when be was making such frantic efforts to increase the campaign fund of , bis party. The “damned spot’’ will not oat, and all this carping at Dr. Bun-hard, whatever may have been his want of good judgment, is trivial and senseless. —Chicago Seics. EXCHANGE ECHOES. -The reconstruction of the navy is going on with such vigor that within five yean the country will have twen-ty-five serviceable vessels, counting the five double-turreted moniton as available for defensive ..purposes.— . Springfield Republican. /if -As to the new South, it is not headed in the direction of Republican* ism. The new South is Democratic to the core, and will remain so until it is assured by the dissolution of the party of Mr. Blaine that there is to be no more sectionalism in the politics of this Republic,—Atlanta Constitution. -Ex-Postmaster - General Frank Hatton thinks that Sherman is the strongest man that the Republicans can nominate next year; that Blaine would be beaten worse than be waa ia 1884, and that the party will not have any thing resembling a walk-over, it doesn’t matter who is nominated.— Cincinnati Enquirer. ——Republican organs an wont to speak of “ the insatiable hunger for spoils of the Democratic party;” but can they tell us when aay Republican Administration hail ever cut down the expenses of Government by abolishing fist but unnecessary offices? It is not remembered that such a thing has gone into the Republican record --(**> t

COLLECTING OLD SHOES. “Never mind wrapping them apt I'll leave the old shies and wear ihe new," said a customer la a Hanover street shoe store, as 1m palled eat hit pocket-boo* to pay for hia purchase. “What beoomes of all the old, oast-off boots, shoes and robbers left la youi store!" isquireJ a Boston fibroid reporter as he trteil oa a aew pair of number lives. "Ws sell most of them,’* returned the proprietor ‘There is quite a business done la worn-out shoes. No less than three or four men come around ever; week to get what I’ve grit. I get from live cents op to fifty- coats for old boots and shoes. There are some, however,"that the; won’t bn; at all, the; are se badly worn. Host of m; customers get all the wsar out of a shoe before the; throw it away, but somr pretty good castaways are to be picked up In the big stores up-town. Once on s time some good ones were left bore, but nowadays shoes and boots are worn as long as a buttos or shoe-string will stick to them. People are gettiag poorer ot more economical." "What is done with the old shoes I” ’The; are patched and fixed up as well as osn bo dene, and sold to poor people at a low price. The business is so Urge in this city that a large number of these shoes saved from the ash barrel is sent to New York to be sold, it is a good thing for the poor, for some times the; can bn; a hotter wearing shoe from one of these collectors than In a store when bread new." f'":"How about old rubbers and rubber boots I” "Those are in great dem tad aad are purchased, eves if there is more hole than rubber. Brer; thing in the robber line is bought at the rate of three cents ■ pound b; the collectors, who sell it for a little more to manufacturers, who, 1 understand, melt the rubber down and work it over again." "Is there no; mono; in this old shoo collecting business!" "I can t say, bat 1 think to. 1 know eno collector who owns n fine house is SomervUio"

Twlk starved to Omjt. Teeth are jon as, easily starred as the stomach, said a lecturer the other night. The fart is that you and your fathers hare from generation to generation been industriously starring your tooth. In one wny It is a blessing to hare been born of poor psreota. What food the poor giro their children is of a variety that goes to make strong bones and teeth. It is the outside of all the grains of all cereal food that contains the oarbonate and phosphate ol lime and traces of other earthy salts which nourish the bony tissues and build the frame up. If we do not furnish to the teeth of the young that pabulup they require th»v can not possibly be built up It is the ontaide of corn. onto, wheat, barley and the like, or the bran, so. called, that we sift awsy and tee I to the swine, that the teeth actually require for tbeii proper nonriahmeot. The wisdom ot max has prouen his felly, shown in every succeeding generation of teeth, which become more and more fragile and weak, l' pc and I towns In Wall Street. An old gentleman whom a New Tort Ltdqrr wi iter met recently, in fonr years paid one firm in Wall street the sum ot $ M.OOO in commissions. He was a wealthy man when he weal into the street, with s laudable but unwarrantable desire to increase his patrimony by speculating in stocks. Now, so heavy have been his losses that he would be satisfied if he possessed the sum he has paid out in commissions. As it is, he will cheerfully accept a clerkship in the same 11 m. If he had been contented with a handsome sufficiency foe the day, amounting really to s superabundance, he wonld now be in affluenre instead of comparative destitution. On the other hand, a young clerk who. a few years ago. commenced to speculate in the street with f-H the savings of a year’s abstinence from smoking,!? worth in real estate over $1,(103,00', and several more in securities. In Wall street speculation what is game for one man is 1 uin for another. The Tlives Ksientlala et Conversation. There are three essentials to all profitable discussion, says the Sunday School Timm. The first is, to have a point; the second is, to see the point; the third is, to stick to the point. Many discussions begin and end without either party being conacions of having-an objective point. Borne parties to a discussion sea a point, or see many points, wfaito neither party, or only one of the parties, sees the point. And where any or all of the parties have a point, and even where they see the point, they rarely show themselves eapable of sticking to the point. There would be less unprofitable discussion if everyone wonld first conv.ncs himself that ha had a point to discuss Wo can not expect another to stick to our point unless we can make him see that wa havr a point; and we can not expect to make hun see that we have a point, unless we can stick to the point ourselves.

An old cavalryman says that a bon* will never stop on a man inteltnonally. It It a standing order with cavalry that should a man become dismounted he must lie down and be perfectly still. If be does so tbe entire company will pass over him and be will not be injured. A horse notices where be is going, and is •a tbe lookout tor a firm foundation to put his foot on. It is an instinct with him, therefore, to step over a prostrate man. The injuries caused by a runaway horse are nearly always inflicted by the anirnaKknocking people down and not by his stepping on them. A Remarkable Bet Story. In Jane, 1S3.‘, the son of Mr. Gillespie, tbe keeper of the city square of Phils le!phis, caught a young t«*l bat, which lie took homo with him. Three hours afterward, in the evening, as he was conveying it to tbe museum in h» band, wait* passing near where it was caught, the mother made her appearance and followed the boy for two squares, flying eronnd him and finally alighted upon his breast, such was her anxiety to snccor her offspring. Both were brought to the museum, the young one adhering closely to Its mother’s breast. Blood Will Tell. There is no question about it—blood will tell—especially if it be an impure blood. Blotches, eruptions, p tuples and boils, are all symptoms of an lm pure blood, due to the improper action of the liver. When this important organ fails to properly perform 1U function of purifying ant cleansing the blood, impurities are carried to all parts of the system, and the symptoms above referred to are merely evidences of the struggle of Nature to throw off the poisonous germs Unless her warning be hooded in time, serious results are certain to follow, culminating in liver or kidney disorders. or even in consumption. Dr. Pierce’s Golden Medical Discovery will prevent and cure these diseases, by restoring the liver to a healthy condition.
