are of the opinion that Judge Carter is
still editing the columns of this paper

ner, as we copy the below taken from the
Herald oflast week:
1t now turns out that the fraudulent
Sante Fe scrip, which has been SO ex-
tensively circulated in the territory, was
printed in Canton, Lincoln county, the
home of District Attorney Carter The
name of the printer has been withheld
from the public for some reason, but as a
son of Carter is at present publishing a
paper in that town, it may hereafter
transpire that the printer of the swindling
scrip is the same party who so modestly
mentioned J. P. Kidder as good man
to 60 to Washington. Yes, the whole
crowd ought to go to Washington, but
they ought to go with steel wrlstlets on
their arms and accompanied by the U. s.
Marshal.
We would refer the editors to the article
found elsewhere in this issue concerning
this bogus Sante Fe scrip, and if they
will set aside their prejudice and short
sightedness they will notice that the
"printer" mentioned was the detective
that brought the guilty to speedy justice.
Also that the ADVOCATE isedited by tone

penitentiary, with the ornaments men
toned, can be made by the two editors of
Herald when his Honor holds term of
court in Grant county in June.

Farmers should make due calcul ulatIons
in case of a shortage of corn this year, to
measure enough feed for their hogs. Inls
can easily be done by sowing a bushel or
50 of field peas, Of which the hogs are very
fond of, and fatten very readily. Peas
are a staple article with the Canadian farm
ers, and should be sown late enough, the
latter part of June, so as to escape the
little black bug that infests them.

NOTHING illustrates the settlement and
development of the country SO forcibly
as the report of the Commissioner of the
General Land Office at Washington. AS
the report says, the inroad upon the area
of the public domain during the year
ending June 30, 1882, is unprecedented.
Last years transactions were large, but
the increase has been very great,
amounting to 100000 acres. The total
number of acres disposed of for agricul-
tural purposes during the year just
closed was 15,699,848. When it is con-
sidered that these lands are disposed Of
only to actual settlers, and that no set
tier can secure more than 320 acres, the
increase of population in the Western
Territories may be realized. Under the
timber-culture act, which entities every
man who plants ten acres of timber to
100 acres of land, 2,609,797 acres were
disposed of. Most of those who take ad-
vantage of the wise and generous pro-
vision of our laws are homestead or pre-
emptiOn settlers, so that these lands do
not in reality represent any increase in
population; but, deducting these acres
from the total number entered, there re-
main about 100000 acres which have
been taken up in tracts of 100 acres
each by actual residents, and they repre-
sent 1924 families added to the food
producing population Of the country.
The immense tide of population which
has poured into the West during the
past year is indicated in the vast tracts
taken under the homestead law. In Ethe
Southern States also there have been
quantities of land taken under this act,
but over One-third of the whole Of the
hOmesteads for the past fiscal year have
been located in the single Territory of
Dakota, where entries covering $751; AIS
acres were made, as against 1,3S6,S72 for
the fiscal year ending June 30, 1881.
Minnesota comes next, with homestead
entries for 5S8,334 acres. Close to it
comes Kansas, with 537 1852, with Nebras-
ka, 472,816.

PROCTOR KNOTT will not be accused
of Partially for Republican majorities
in Congress, but he does not share the
contempt which some of his party and
some half-breed Republicans who are
endeavoring to display toward the Ma
tional Assembly which has recently ad-
journed. He says ut was not a brilliant
Congress, but 1t was good one and an
honest one," and of Speaker Keifer he
says: EXETER doesn't deserve the abuse
that has been heaped on him. He is a
man of wonderful will power, is affable,
and exceedingly well informed. He
makes very good speaker" This from
a political opponent is pretty good in

has made an estimate upon the receipts
for the current fiscal year. He puts the
income from all sources at $3.50, 100000.
Last year he made the estimate at $780,

receipts amounted to $405, 100000. He
says there is no danger but there will be
a good surplus for debt reduction during
