Public Land Regulations.

The Commissioner OF the General
Land Office has just issued regulations
under the act providing for the sale of
United States lands containing coal,
approved March Sd last, as follows:
Any individual of q years of age
and citizen Of the United States, or
who has declared his intention to be-
come such, may enter by legal sub
divisions any area not exceeding 100
acres. Any association may enter not
to exceed 800 acres. Any association,
II not less than four persons, who shall
have expended not less than S., 600 in
working and improving any coal mine
or mines, may enter not exceeding $40
acres. The price per acre is SO where
the land is situated more than Is miles
from any completed railroad, and $50
per acre where the land is within Is
miles of such road.
In conflicts when improvements
ETC., have been commenced subsequent
10 march ID last, or shall be hereafter
commenced, priority Of possession and
improvement shall govern the award,
when the law has been fully com piled
with by each party. A mere posses

improvements will not secure the con-
tract to the fret occupant, when the
claimant shows his full

Good Enough.

Good things can even come out of
Nazareth, as witness the following
sensible talk by the editor OF the Gin
ton Herald, who takes for his text the
objects Of the Oranges" and makes
comments in which we heartily con-
cur, as follows:
More than once have we been asked
what are the objects of the Patrons Of
Husbandry, or Changers, as more
familiarity termed. We can surmise
and state our views-can draw deduc-
tons from what is going on around,
but with no certainty Of being entirely
correct.
A appointment Granger" however
in affording information to the Chair
ton Leader, gives the following as tn,
objects Of the organization: 1st. TT
contend against all railroad monopo
lies and extortions. I'd. To encourag,
the manufacture of farm machinery a
home. Sd. To do business exclusive
| ~ on the cash basis, and to discourage
going into debt. 4th. To buy all nee
essaries At . profit not to exceed ter
per cent. 5th. To get honest men int,
the Legislature.
Ifholding sentiments like the abov,
In all their length and breadth, hon
estly makes man q Granger, then W,
are one without owning a farm, Of
taking an oath, and the Secretary o
the first association that comes alopf
can put down our name; but, If
narrow, proscriptive policy is meant
which would make every railroad .
monopoly merely because 1t is a rail.
road. and which will lift such
blatant demagogues into power, AZ
make the strongest professions with
the least intention Of adhering to
them, then that same Secretary can
withhold the use Of his pen.

The notice last week of proposed
Industrial Convention at Upton, on
the oath of May. was not an official
call for such meeting, but was just
intended to set forth what had been
done, said and written with view
to that end. We certainly think
that the industrial interests of all
kinds in our county may be gathered
in deliberative council, and by the
interchange of thought that all may
be informed, purified and strength.
ened--gaining with new knowledge,
higher aims and brighter hopes. Thi.
We understand to be its aim, and in
this we heartily wish it success.

The Democratic papers are prea,

The Democratic papers are greatly
disturbed because Gov. Carpenter has
accepted an invitation to address the
Changers. They affect TO think that
he Is playing the demagogue. But
ths 10 the effect Of political jealousy.
Nothing could be more natural or APP
propriate than that invitation and ac-
ceptance. Ifthey will examine the
Governors inaugural message, his
skeleton In the corn crib" address,
and his transportation letter, they will
md abundant reasons why the Pat
rons confide In Gov. Carpenter, and
Why they should be proud to welcome
him into their ranks. When they
have 80 good friend at court they are
not likely to be looking for . change.

The following Preamble and Resolu-
tons were adopted by Forest Grange

The following Preamble and Resolu-
tons were adopted by Forest Grange
No. 1872:
WHEREAs, The disposition Is man.
ifest on the part Of the producing class
to work reform In matters pertain
ing to government, and believing the
agricultural interest is of primary i'm
portance, that all other interests are,
and ought lnshe subordinate thereto.
that by promoting the interests OF the
tiller of the soil, all other branches OF
legitimate business are alike benefited
and derive their stimulous therefrom.
Therefore, be it
Resolved, That we as members of
Forest Grange No. 1852, view with dis
trust any legislative or judicial action,
that directly or indirectly has the ten
dency to place the agricultural inter-
ests in the background, as contrary to
the best interests, not only to the tiller
OF the soil, but to all legitimate pur-
suits.
Resolved, That bearing the relations
We do to other branches OF business
within line Of productive industry,
IL becomes our imperative duty to
guard against the encroa chments OF
"monied powers, railroad naonoDolists
ana extortion"; and that we closely
scrutinize the course pursued by the
Press, believing its power to work our
injury rs great as Its ability to work
our benefit.
Reso'red, That we view "cornora.
tons influence either at our STATE
Capital, or the Capital of the Nation,
as an enemy to our liberties, as for.
eign to Republican institutions, not to
be tolerated in places where represen.
tatives OF the people meet to carry out
their behests.
Resolved, That we heartily Join and
invite the cooperation OF ali persons
engaged In line of productive indus
try, with view to promote the best
interests of all classes of people, by
our efforts to advance that of agricuf-
ture.
Resolped, That copy OF these reso-
lutions be sent the Cedar Poet, Upton
and Iowa Homestsud
for publication.

REMARKs.-Ws certainly think that
our correspondent above must be labor
ing under some mistake or misunder-
standing. We have not investigated
for ourselves, but can but think that
further explanation will throw diff
ferent light upon . statement which
without it certainly looks bad for
some one, to say the least. While We
felt thus, 1t was urged upon US that
the facts were strictly true as stated !;
and feeling that If this uas the case.

give them publicity-which we do.

II il said the treachery Of the Mo-
docs, in numbering Gen. Candy and
DR.. Thomas, is due to the massacre Of
Modoc Indians in 1852 by the COM
mand Of Captain Benjamin Wright.
Northern California was then distur-
bed BY Indian troubles and q peace
conference was agreed upon and q
place appointed in the immediate vi
cinity of the massacre Of Gen. Csnby.
The conference met, consisting OF
about twenty-five Indians and thirty
white men. While discussing the
terms Wright gave the men the signal
and In . moment they killed eighteen
Modocs and seven Modocs escaped.
Thus persisted the fathers Of the pres
ent Modocs and, although Captain
Jack was but nine years old at the
time, 1t Il supposed by many that his
recent murder was committed In re.
venge for the Wright massacre.

for the enlargement Of the canal
from Lake Champlain to the Hudson.
II this bill becomes law New York
will have taken very import ant step.
The total cost OF the improvement will

When completed there will he ship
