COMMISSIONER WILLIAMSON of the gen
eral land Office in his annual report rec
omends considerable increase both in
the force of Office and in the salaries of
some of his assistants. Men of legal
education and mature judgment cannot
be secured for salaries allowed at pres
emit. There were surveyed the fiscal
year ending June 80, 1880, 1855, 253
acres of public lands and 652, Isl acres
of private land claims. The great in
crease of 725347 acres is attributed to
the operation of the act of March Sd,
1877. which led to a great increase i'm
the number Of applications by pri-
vate individuals for public surveys. The
disposals of public lands during the year
are as follows: Cash entries, $50, 7O4
acres; homestead entries, 6,O45, $50 acres;
timber culture entries, 2,193,1S4 acres;

During the fiscal year ending Sept. 80,
1880, the bonded debt of the state was
reduced $4,000 by the payment of Sault
canal bonds for that amount, which had
fallen due July 1, 1879. The present
condition of the debt is stated below, but
to offset it there are 100000 of U. S. Az
percent bonds in the sinking fund, and
a still larger sum deposited i'm banks
and bearing interest. The entire debt
of $905, 1897 could be paid at short
notice, if the owners of our state bonds
would consent to take the money; but
the best offers they will make are 1O@20
per cent premiums, which is regarded as
too much. Is there any state under Dem
Ocratic management for long period
which can make similar financial
showing? ,2eAl-ae

Some Democratic and independent
papers have published foolish lie to the
effect that Senator Jones of Nevada had
gone over to the Democratic party. The
assertion is so absurd that it is hardly
worth notice, but the San Francisco Bull
letin took the trouble to interview the
senator upon the subject and published
the result. Senator Jones emphatic
ally denies having written the letter al
lodged to have been received from him
by an intimate friend in Washington,
and says further that he has not for
many weeks written any letter contain
ing reference to political affairs. While
confessing preference for Grant as the
nominee of the party, yet when the Chi
cag0 convention selected Garfield the
latter became his choice. and ne regards
him as eminently fitted for the position.
He holds that in no election since the
Democracy resolved itself into rebel
army in 1861 has Republican success
been of such Importance to the welfare
of the country. He also declared his
confident belief that Nevada would cast
her electoral vote for the Republican
candidates. sFa Les

Gently as to what effect the election Of
a Democratic President would have on
the business interests Of the country.
Mr.. B. 2. Jones, of the firm Of Jones &
LaughIins, said: THE workingmen are
more strongly interested in the result of
the present contest than the capitalist.
II will not do for them to say that they
are poor and have nothing at stake,
when they have wives and families to
support, and are dependent upon their
daily wages for q LIVELIHOOD. The Eng
lish. people are deeply interested in this
election. See the manner in which they
are fiooding the west and south with
free trade pamphlets; and they are not
content with sending over their pam
phlets but aressending over their money as
well. They can afford to subscribe mil
lions in London to aid the Democratic
party in this country"
AUGUST BELMONT has placed himself
in an embarrassing position by his
speech as to the effect of the Democratic
policy upon the finances in the event Of
the possible success of General Hancock
He probably has made a still greater
mistake by his personal attack on Sec
rotary Sherman in connection with the
resumption act, for it happens that on
the files Of the treasury there are a large
number Of letters from prominent DEM
ocrats urging, Secretary Sherman to
stand firm and to endeavor to defeat the
attempts of the Democratic majority in
the lower house of congress to injure the
credit Of the country. Among these let
tiers are some from August Belmont
which express the gravest fears that the
bonds will be deprecated and the gov
eminent credit injured as a result Of
the attacks of the Democratic'majority in
the House. There are letters in the treas
ury, also, from other Democratic bankers
expressing similar fears as probable
result of the Democratic opposition
to the resumption act. Itisvery probable
that some Of these distinguished Demo
Gratis may sometime find their own let
tiers in print, and IL they contradict theiI
present declarations the fault will moi
be with the letters.
