It has become chronic habit with 8
eOismpOrary, less enterprising than our
selves, to try to make up for It's lack Of
teIegraphic facilities by decrying aspsc-
ials." The truth is the regular Associate
Press dispatches are made up to q very
large extent Of aspscials." Tho specials
to the New York papers, are sent west in
the daytime and published in the evening
papers. Any careful reader Of telegraph
news, can see st q glance how largely
specials enter into the Associate Press re-
port.
People wait for The confederation Of the
regular dispatches fully as much as for
that Of the specials.
The extensive facilities Of the Leader
for special tslegraphing are being highly
appreciated by the people, as is demon
strAted by its large and rapidly advancing
circulation. Il is this which makes our
less enterprising cotempOrary disparage
specials. But sll such efforts are unayail-
ing. No newspaper in the country, Of
any enterprise in collecting the latest and
fullest news, is without its facilities for
special telegraphing.
The Leader publishes the results Of Leg
islstive dOings in Columbus ten hours be-
fore they appear in any other Cleveland
paper. News from the South and West
comes to Us by special dispatch; frequently
the same Intelligence is ten hours behind
in the Associate Press report. Our Wash
ingtnn dispatches contain more detailed
accounts Of Congressional doings than is
furnished in the regular dispatches, be-
side many additional items. The latest
market reports Of Chiesgo and Piitsburg
are furnished regularly, by special dis
patches to the Leader.
Indeed, any one who reads the Leader,
is struck with its large amount Of tele-
graphic news and cannot but draw the
contrast

urspecial Washington dispatches furn-
ish us with the probable programme Of
General Grant. Now that he is in su-
prsus power, next to the President, We
hope to see several very necessary refOr-
ms accomplished in the Army Of the
Potomac and in other departments. We
want his authority to be no sham elevation
to power. The country demands vigOr-
Ous, effective prosecution Of the war fer
her life. The republic cannot endure a
prOtraoted through years Of such disquiet
and distrust as prevail in some quarters,
and hence all the military strength Of the
North should be thrown into the fierce
struggle. The Army Of the Potomac must
be re organized. Whether General Meade
is the best head or not, is Of little eOnse-
qusnce so long as he has corps command
ers that are ready to thwsrt any grea'
victory, to accomplish their own promotion
Let the Army Of the Potomso be lead by
Western men il necessary and we shall
feel that its fate is TO be something els'
than tha! Of hanging around the suburbs
Of Washington.
There are somecorps commanders in tn
Army Of the Potomac who would gladlJ
sacrifice thousands of men to see the srmy
defeated, If they could rid themselves o
the General commanding and get into hi
shoes. 1t was The proteststions Of thea
men that prevented the attack on Lee'I
broken army on the Potomac after Gsttys
burg. Il was their apparently fully-cO
sidsred blunderiDg that caused the sd
vance across The Rapidan, made with 'h'
Intention of cutting Lees in two, to turr
out fsilure.

The War Debt and the BIineraI Lands.
From the St IOuis Dernporat

FROM tDe -. LOUIS Dernocraf.
A movement Of great promise has been
initiated by the National Union Associs-
ton Of Ohio, with a view to opening q new
door to national wealth and prosperity.
The proposition is to petition Congress to
aboli=h the present system Of issuing the
United States mineral lands, and substi-
tute the one of selling them in fee simple;
accompanying the measure with such legis-
lation as will afford full facilities of access
10 and Of transportation from those lands.
There are good grounds for believing that
the adoption Of this policy would give a
powerful impetus to immigration, and
largely increase the supply Of gold neces-
sary to the national credit. The import
ance Of sll measures having this effect will
be appreciated when 1t Is remembered that,
should the war end with this year, the
country will have to provide for . debt #
more thsn three thousand millions Of dol
lars. To accomplish this without impos.
ing heavy taxes is the problem for ststes-
msnship to solve. All eyes naturally turn
to the public domain, and the first question
arising is, how osn this national pstrimo-
ny be made to contribute the most TO the
common treasury?
AT dollar per sore, the fourteen hun
dred millions Of acres Of public lands
would pay about half the war debt. By
judicious management, they probably
could be made to extinguish the debt and
segment however, no result Of the kind is
to be expected. An immense step will
be gained if Congress can be induced to
legislature wisely in relation to the min.
eral lands. History describes thriftless
governments sinking deeper into poverty
while owning titles TO mines Of almost
boundless value. Spain, with her Mexico
and Peru, is signal instance There are
also instructive cases in which nations
have derived wonderful sccretions of
wealth from mineral resources far inferi-
or to those Of Spain. The iron, LEAD, COP.
per, tin, coal and salt Of Rnglsnd, have
conferred vastly more prosperity upon her |
and placed more money in her national |
treasury, than ever flowed from the mines |
of Peru or Mexico. The explanation lies |
in the different policies pursued, and is to |
US both an impressive warning and en- in.
guide.
Strange though 1t seem, the mining pol.
10y adopted by Spain three hundred years
agO anu repualateu Dy England IN the /
reign Of Phillip and Msrgis to grsatex-
tent that Of the American Government
now. This, too, more than forty years af-
ter Benton distinctly and emphstioslly ex-
posed the folly of the leasing system, and
demonstrated the wisdom Of selling the
mineral lands in fee simple. Some twenty
years ago the tenants Of the lead mining
country resisted the collection OF rentals,
and st last forced the Government to adopt
Lhe correct policy in these regionp. SINH
ST difficulties occurred, with like result
IN the copper lands. 1t now remains to
extend the sale policy to all the mineral
snds Of the Nation and entirely abolish
he leasing saytem among other relics Of
8 dark ages"

The New York Herald that has been
"FOaring you" quite Justify about General
Grant, speaking Of his elevation to the
Lieutenant Generally, indulges in the fol-
lowing refrain, in which it bids farewell
to Grant:
But the grand political campaign for the
Presidency Is also close upon us, and We
guess that his retirement from the poIiti.
esl field is, after All, the great object to
which General Grant is indebted for his
military promotion. The recent agitation
Of his claims upon the gratitude Of the
country by the New York Herald. and the
manifestations which have followed of the
irresistible popularity which he would
command Is an Independent candidate for
the next Presidency have alarmed the
managing politicians Of the ''poWers that
be" including "HOnest Old Abe" among
the number. How could General Grant 90
removed from the Presidential rinR2 To
set him aside among the list Of retired gen.
erals would be to make sure thing Of his
election at once as our next President.

JIM LANE or A cHAPLAIH.

Jim Lane, in conversation with mem
ber Of the House, the other day, remarked
that he thought it was bad policy in the
House to change its Chaplain this session.
"Why so2 said the member.
"Because," said he, " the last man you
had was q good one. He was spious man.
He said the Lords Prayer every morning,
and if you hsd kept him in Office couple

SMITHS CAVALRY EXPEDITION.
1t is charged here BY men who ought to
be well informed on the subject that Gen.
ersl Smith was eight days behind in start
ing his expedition from Memphis. This
delay gave the rebels an opportunity 10
concentrate all their available force
against him, and resulted in the failure al
ready announced to the country. Before
leaving Memphis, Smith made q speech in
which he told his men they were about to
make the greatest raid Of the war; that
they would travel a greater distance than
ever Grierson went, and would not return
for ihree months. Sherman's intention
was to have Smith join him at Meridian,
and to use his cavalry force in operating
| on the railroad from that point.
Smiths best friends do not claim for him
the peculiar quslities necessary for sue
cessful cavalry officer. They say he Is q
good, brave and skillful officer, but has not
the energy and dAsh," without which il
is impossible TO cope with such men &c

win the negro Laber when Freee

From the n. Y. Commercial Advertiser.
The Daily News Of Saturday, February
9Th, says:
aBut sll experience proves that the Az
ricsn will not work unless he is made To,
and he cannot be made unless heis slave.
Hreally free he won't work except for bare
substance"
On the other hand, Sir Charles Gray,
lately Governor of Jamaica, says:
"There are few races Of men who will
work harder or more perseveringly, when
they are sure Of getting the fruits Of their
labor, than the African"
The property accumulated by the ne

waited land in the island is the bona fds
property Of the colored people, bought and
paid for by their own industry.
As 3 proof Of the failure Of empsnci-
patton the Daily News contrasts the ex-
ports Of 1909 and 1910 with those Of 1853
and 1850. In 1909 and 1910 the British
West India Island had the monopoly Of the
English market, whereas in 1853 and 1854
that market was thrown open to the world
by perfect equality between British col.
onirl products and those Of foreign eOun

as in 1899 and 1910, 10 prevent importa.
