WHEN the republic of Texas joined the
Union and became state it reserved its
right to its public lands. which have
never become the property of the gen.
eral government. 1t was part of this
state dOmain-a portion more than
large enough to cover the entire state of
Connecticut was set apart for the
building Of the new state house. This
immense tract, which lies in the north
west corner of the state and extends
south distance of 1917 miles, with an
average width of q miles, was trans
ferred few days ago to an Illinois
syndicate, made up Of Abner Taylor,
Congressman Charles B. Farwell and
his brother John V. Farwell, the dry
goods merchant all of Chicago, and
Amos C. BabcOck Of Canton, who was
for long time chairman Of the Repub-
lican state committee.

The MEMPHIS APPEAL accounts for the
fact that great numbers of young men
leave Tennessee to seek homes elsewhere
by the fact that the state is branded with
the stigma Of illiteracy. In population
of 1,542, $50, there are 394,3S6 who are
ten years of age and upward who cannot
read, while 51O,772 cannot write. The
Boston Advertiser suggests that the
prevalence of ignorance may account
for the popularity in that commonwealth
of the doctrine Of reputation, which is
always short-sighted, and in the long
run an expensive policy.

MARSHAL HENRY, who has recently re-
turned to Washington from a visit to
Mrs. Garfield, at Cleveland, Ohio, said in
conversation with newspaper cores
pendent that all stories of Mrs. Garfield's
sympathy with the assassin Of her hus-
band were baseless, and in fact, that the
subject was prohibited in her household.
Mrs. Garfield, he continued, is in pretty
good health, but terribly stricken by the
blow which deprived her of her husband
She bears up brayely, however under her
trial, and is the same devoted mother to
her children that she has always been.
1t was wonderful how she could be so
composed during her terrible ordeal last
summer, but those who knew her best
feared she would never recover from the
strain upon her system. Marshal Henry
thought that surrounded as she now was
by old friends she would soon recover
her wonted spirits. The Marshal was
very severe in his denunciation of the
attempts made to make capital in behalf
of Guiteau, and while talking his eyes
flashed and his whole frame quiyered
with excitement. He thought that no
punishment was too severe for the
wretch, and that the sooner he was out
of the world the better.

GENERAL Sherman is about to make
the most extensive military tour of in
spection he has made since the war. He
will leave Washington in special car
on March for St. Louis, which will be
his first stopping place. He will be
accompanied by General Poe and Colonel
Morrow, of his staff, his daughter, Miss
Sherman, Miss Poe, and three or four
personal friends. General Hancock may
perhaps be a member of the party.
From st. Louis they will 60 to San
Antonio, Texas, thence to Lavedo and
Corpus Christie, and thence back to San
Antonio to visit all the posts on the line
of the new Southern Railroad to Yuma.
From the last mentioned place they will
go to the Yosemite and San Fran cisco.
They will return by the Southern route
to Santa Fe, and thence by Denver and
the east. The trip will occupy several
weeks.

PROBABLY before this reaches our read
ers the 1926" apportionment will have
passed both houses of Congress. This
gives eleven members to Michigan and
the Legislature which met Thursday of
this week, and will have to carry out
eleven districts. The fairest basis which
we have yet seen is the scheme prepared
by Don Henderson of the Allegan Jour-
nal. 1t may require little change in
detail, but the principle upon which it is
based is the only correct one to be con-
by the Legislature. The northern part
sidered of the state, wherein the growth
of the next ten years is going to be, are
made into districts with populations
ranging from $4,000 to $4,000. The first
point settled shouldlbe separate district.
The people there demand it. and no
small fraction Of the upper part of the
lower peninsula wish to make the tail
to the upper peninsula dog. We have
NO interests in common. The next point
settled should be that some allowance
should be made for the rapid growth of
Northern Michigan. These principles
established, and we care very little how
the counties may be grouped.

und derstood, that the farmers in Marshall
county do not rely upon their
wheat crops alone. Nearly all
of them have turned their attention to
stock raising in greater or less degree,
and the GLOBE representative saw several
large areas which had been sowed with
timothy and clover.
-~---, MARSHALL CoUNNY,
of which WarSen is the county seat, is sew
enty-two miles east and west and twenty
four miles north and south. 1t is traversed
by four streams all of which are more or
less heavily timbered, thus furnishing an
abundant supply of both water and fuel.
Already excellent roads have been laid out
and substantial bridges built. In fact
Warren is situated in a region which can
be very properly termed the farmers par
adise. The soil is unequaled in richness,
in fact rich enough to pay the national
debt. There is still large amount of land
to be obtained at from S. and upwards per
acre, and those seeking home in the west
cannot do better than take the train for
Warren and see for themselves.
While bearing this truthful evidence of
the fertility of the soil, and the prosperity
of the inhabitants of Warren and of Mar
shall county. it would afford the GLOBE
much pleasure to state that politically it
was equally deserving of commendation.
This it cannot do, however, pol tically
speaking the blackness of dal kness which
was said at one time to oyershadow Egypt
would hide its face in shame in comparison
with the black Republicanism of Warren
and of Marshall county. For instance, at
the election last fall, the village and town
ship of Warren cast 254 votes, every one
OF which was Republican. A few Demo
Gratis, however, have taken root there, and
may work out change in time. True
Democracy is mighty, and in the end must
p,evail. AS between the two colftending

Fifth district, the votes of Marshall county

derful Indifference as to the result, and the
general impression is that very light vote
will be cast.
IN concluding this brief and hasty
sketch of the appearance of the boundless

WASHINGTON, Sept 18.-Heretofore there
has been: some mystery as to the motives
of Secor Robson, Teller and others, who
introduced resolutions in congress in Jam
uary last for the forfeit of various lan&
grants to Pacific railroads. It's we'll known
that nothing came of these resolutions, but
the men who offered them stood in the
light of patriots who wished to save the
land for the government and the people
The fact is that it was never intended the
resolutions should pass, or that any of the
land illegally held by the rail
roads should be returned to
the government. TT now appears the
movement in congress so far as the At
iantic Il Pacific railroad was concerned,
was merely an attempt on the part of Jay
Gould, through his agents. to frighten the
Seligman party, who, held Atlantic & Pa
cific railroad stock, so that they would sell
out to Gould. Gould feared the competi-
tion of the Atlantic & Pacific with his own
road, the Texas Pacific, and took this
means to secure his object. He did sue
ceed in frightening the Seligman party,
and did get possession, of the Atlantic &
Teller was formerly Gould's counsel and
his chief representative in the executive
department of the government. To-day
Gould relies upon Teller to prevent the
declaration by the government that the
grant to the Atlantic & Pacific road has
been forfeited by the failare of the COM
pany to build within the. stipulated time.
There are 15,OOO,OOO acres, of land gpanted
the Atlantic & Pacific between Venita and
Albuquerque. These lands are worth at
least $45,OOO,0OO when the Indian
title is extinguished,- as the
government agreed to do. when
the road should be built When the AZ
lantic & Pacific was completed to Venita,
instead of keeping right on and building,
the company skipped 80 miles and began
to build west of Albuquerque. They had
delayed so long that they feared the people
of the territory would take the matter cut
of their hands. The delay is the oppostu
nifty of the government If the. govern
ment reserve its land right it could hole
1 the road and sell the alternate sections fol
enough to board all the Indians at first
class hotels, and have handsome sun
left. Only 200 miles of the 400 buist ives
of Albuquerque have been accepted, AM
part was accepted with the intention o.
the part of the Atlantic & Pacific com
pany to get the governments to refrain froT
, declaring the land grant for the unfnishe
part of the road forfeited.
