NEW York Cry. Oct. 13. 1896

New York Cry, Oct. l3, 1886.
haSc, noticed with pleasure the sugges.
lions of the Chicago American, that the set
tiers on the public lands sa,.,! meet in con-
vention and adopt some means of representing
their claims and protecting their rights, and
hope to see that a firm stand has been taken
for these purposes.
Would it not be we'll that one should also
be held in your vicinity! Its importance is
recognized by all; and in no way can the liz
terests Of the settlers be better expressed, or
their claims more strongly enforced, than by
agreeing upon some uniform plan of action.
Let the matter be coolly discussed, dispas-
Passionately decided on, and firmly supported.
Their claims are so well understood that need
not rccur to them. Their strength lies in the
justice Of their claims, and in their numerical
force. Let all be understood, and it will not
fail to secure those rights once enjoyed, but
now taken from them.
Inc enterprise and industry of the settler
make these lands an object of speculation. De:
populate the country, and you remove the
charm OF the foreign capitalist. Should any
: sae l',arvel at their firmness Of purpose, 1
r.lould pointhim to settler; trace him from the
home which he left III, tie east, TO where he
is now undergoing the privations of the from
tier. struggling with the thousand ills incident
TO new country, and all to secure his 200
to buy quarter section of land. with which
sum, when obtained, he hurries to the land sale,
leaving behind him his wife, his children, his
little hut, his farm, his all. fls such man to
be trlflcd with? Is man SO situated to staud
and see his farm sold to a speculator, because
he can pay more for it! What could he say
on his return to his family! lie would say,

Aa6or Is aN,lost! Ibid alt the money 1had, did

u You DO not represent your situation to con-
gsess aud speak to them in one voice, and in
struct your representatives. and delegate to act,
yon will be called upon to leave your farms,

Of the early setting in of winter weather down

our eastern friends, whose lot is unhappiiy
cast in that bleak region of the world, where
'svapors. clouds and.storms" hold undisputed
sway from the middle Of October, to the last
OF March. And we would add word of in

ADVICE recommending them to migrate as
soon as circumstances would allow, to this

father. Previous To his birth, some differ
ence arose between his mothe- and her hus-
band, aud for a considerable time, she re-
fused to speak to him. The difficulty was
subsequently healed-the child was born
and in due time began to talk-but when
sitting with his father was invaribly silent
1t continued so until it was five years old
when the father, after having exhausted his
powers Of persuasion, threatened it with
punishment for its stnbbornness. When
the punishment was inflicted, it elected
nothing but sighs aud groans which told
but too plainly that the little sufferer was
endeayofing to speak. All who were pres
ent united ia the opinion, that ii waS im-
possible far tie chiM To speak TO has Jothe,
and Time proved their opinion to be cor
rect. Al a mature aye ntter it had arrived
