brought from the east. In the trades and
professions there is more competition than
in eastern towns and the same is true OF
commerce. So that, although there are a
few fine towns like Denver, there are slight
temptations to seek fortune or even'a lvell-
hood in them. The people whose fate con-
strains them to abide there realize the situa-
ton and, as a rule, are living on the hope OF
coming east again to live. However much
they may boast about the country, one finds,
if he can get at their inner feeling, that they
want to $50 home" 1t is emphaticallv the
land of the homesick.
These considerations are necessarily
briefly and hastily presented but they are the
results of actual observation and we believe
them to be just. If they will prevent any
young man from seeking the chimera OF for
tune ON the plains their purpose will be ac-
complished. Health, wealth and happiness
are much easier of attainment here than
there; for here honest and persistent effort
is sure of reward, while there hardship and
privation are certain and the rewards of
them are worse than uncertain.

OYER 1900 immigrants landed in New
York last week. The total for the first fif-
teen days of the present month is 42,215,
against 80, 426 for the same period last year.
The total number landed at New York since
January 1, is 1sO,591. In the corresponding
time last year 137,71S were landed, and il is
expected that 10000 more passengers will be
landed at that port by the first of June. An
Allan steamer, the Circassian, arrived at
Montreal on Tuesday with 1900 passengers,
and several more from England and Scotland
are about due at the same port. An influx
of 1000 immigrants is looked for by this feet
and the Grand Trunk is arranging TO con-
very nearly all of them West.

An Important Matter.

An act to provide for the application
of the moneys of the Internal Improve.
ment Land Fund of the State of Min
nesota to the payment of the principal
and interest of the Minnesota State
Railroad adjustment bonds, was passed
at the extra session of the legislature
last year, and its ratification or rejection
will be submitted to the voters of the
State at the November eletlon. This
question has not been brought out by a
single paper in the State, thus far, and
The FREE PRESS Is the first to place be
fore the public the important question,
that must be decided.
The provisions of the act are such
that if the question is approved by a
majority of the voters, as fast as any of
the internal improvement lands of the
State are sold the proceeds of the same
shall be invested and kept invested and
the same shall be and constitute sink.
lug fund for the payment at their ma.
turity of the principal of the Minnesota
State railroad adjustment bonds. And
the interest on any bonds or securities
in which said fund shall be invested
shall be applied to the payment of the
interest as it accrues on the said Mime
sofa State railroad adjustment bonds,
and all the proceeds of said lands,
whether heretofore or hereafter sold,
and whether heretofore invested or here.
after to be invested and held by the
State Treasurer, and all interest which
has accrued or may accrue thereon, or
on any of the bonds or securities in
which the same or any part thereof has
been or may be invested, shall he and

served Inviolate as sinking fund for
the purpose of being applied to the pay.
ment of the principal of SAID bonds at
their maturity, until the maturity of
said railroad adjustment bonds, when it
shall be applied to the payment of the
principal of said bonds.
Inasmuch as these bonds must be
paid, it will be wise to apply to their
redemption these lands before they are
confiscated for other purposes, and for
means which may not be of any direct
benefit to Taxpayers. BY applying
the lands for this purpose, the taxpayers
will avoid direct taxation, as the amount
of money realized from their sale, from
time to time, will be adequate to liquid.
