The IRISH QUESTION is now being
worked up by crowd of legal pessmists,
who take the ground that 1t Is the duty of
the Irish tenant to pay no rent, because
there Isl flaw in the title obtained about
200 years ago The beauty of this argument
consists in its check. Suppose, now, that
VIC try practical application of the doctrine
to ourselves and other parts of the world.
Recognizing the principle that possess
sion is nine points of the law we go on to
remark that when one G.. Columbus in 1492
planted his standard on these shores, he
found the noble red man in possession under
squatter rights, but IL didn't take the white
man long to discover the charms of conquest,
and the land.titlcs obtained In that primi.
tive period by our distinguished ancestors
appeared to be good enough for them, aud
onght to he good enough for their children.
At least we have always recognized the
Divine right of the white race to pluck the
Indian, and then gently, but firmly, pitch
him westward on the points of our bayonots.
People Of a conquering and predatory ma

sorb it, so to speak, and then proceed
strictly to business. This is sort of every
man for himself and the -devil-take.the
hindmost world.
To come down to the fine point in this
argument, we are all lessecs under old
his time hold and bequeath under the
general act entitled an act to grab all you
can and hold it till stronger fellow comes
along. II would be just as absurd to enter
tain claim in equity on the part of Adams
direct heirs to the site now occupied by the
city of London as to allow the old Mo.
hawks to seize the State of New York. As
to England, titles have come down from
century to century via the ordinary pro-
cess Of custer, beginning with the Roman
and passing on through Saxon, Dane and
Norman, till they end in the pcaceable pos
session of British land.sharks and unas-
suming tradesmcn aud agriculturalists.
The Irish peasant of to-day may just as
well calm his nerves. 1t will not help his
cause or protect him from the worlds ridi-
cule if he declines to pay rent because of
any defective title. Professional land rob-
bers, endowed with fine native and culti-
waited abilities in the direction of grand
larceny, will indulge in prolonged laugh
at any one, in these days of refined
thievery. who demands copper-rivetcd
title from everything he deals with. Credit
is the.watch-word of the hour and the pal
ladium of Our liberties We must have
faith, and the binder the better.

Ever Changing Fashion.

Fashions change gradually. Unless
they did they could not be followed, for
suddenncss would demonstrate their alb
surdity. The revolutions that they make
are not obvious until they have been re-
| garded through series of years. The
feminine mode Of wearing tho hair Mt
present is a fair illustration. 4 good
while ago, when the rage for phrcnoIogy
had brought high forhcads into vogue,
the hair was brushed back from the brow
80 as to exhibit it to its fullest cXpnnsc.
The fashion was not pretty; itgaye women
bold, masculine, staring expressions
but it continued with the interest in
phrenology Then women began to
dress their hair reasonably, letting it
shade the brow, as it ought to-, instead
of pushing it off as far as possible. They
have Of late been wearing it lower and
lower, until many now hide their fore
heads with it altogether. 1t is not nm
common to see wcll-drcsscd women
whose hair, natural on false, comes down
to their eyebrows, while others draw it
forward i'll such profusion as to give
them a grOtcsquo appearance. Most of
the New York women who make any
pretcnse to fashion look as if they had
no brows, these being invisible on ac-
count of the peculiar arrangement of
their hair. They are not content to de-
pend upon nature, either They deco
rate themselves with front-pieces of
divers patterns, and by their aid look as
i'll as they well can. If they knew how
they looked in the eyes of good taste
they would, we are sure, alter the dress
ing of their hair Hiding their forhcad |
in that manner bestows on them a very
insipid, not to say imbecile, expression.
They might, with hair and eyebrows
be mistaken for blcached
South Sea Islanders, and candor com.
pels us to say that the intelligence of
some of their faces does not need toning
down. --Ncw York Times.

SURVEY OF PUBLIC LANDS.
what IL Reing DO e in Uumboidt
and Churchill Counries.

A correspondent who has investigated
the subject assures the Silver State that
" there is no ring connected with the sur
veys now being made in this county; that
the United States Surveyor General re-
ceives no percentage or commission what
ever. and that the State Surveyor General
has nothing to do with them except that
some parties in the field are using his in.
struments-that General Hatch has had
no contract for surveying public lands
ince 1878. The survey being made in
Guides the extensive nitre beds in Hum
boidt and Churchill Counties upon appli-
cation OF the locators, as we'll as the sage
brush and meadow lands; that there are
several surveying parties at work in differ
ent parts OF the State, but they have no
connection with each other; that there is
quite a demand for surveys by settlers
along the line OF the several contemplated
railroads in this State. The titles
to such lands are not only be.
ing secured, but other lands are
being taken up in anticipation of the early
construction Of these roads. The 2, 900, 600
acre grant Of land to this State cannot be
disposed Of until it is surveyed, and these
surveys will greatly facilitate the disposal
OF this grant. Surveys are progressing in
every State and Territory where there is
any unsurveyed domain, both under the
regular appropriation and special deposit
system. For this State there was but q
very small appropriation made by the last
Congress for surveying purposes-$15,-
000-about enough to survey Is townships,
as a township costs about 5000. We're it
for the special deposit system, under
the late Act Of Congress, the survey Of the
public lands in this State would amount to
but little, and the acquisition G. titles to
their lands by the settlers would be de-
layed indefinitely in many cases. Those
who are now settling in our State upon
public lands are doing 30 with a view Of
making permanent homes, and they deem
it Of the utmost importance that they
should receive title to their landed prop
erty as early as practicable"
