We republish the following letter to
the Salem Stateman, as expressing the
views of many honest Republicans:
Gas there is question as to whether
the action of the eighteen in the late
Senatorial contest is endorsed by their
constituency; allow me as one Of that
constituency to state my views on the
subject:
"W henever federal patronage is used
to secure the election of any man to an
office, when all the political methods
known tc modern bossim are used to
the extreme limit to accomplish the
purpose Of scheming politicians, then
the chosen representatives of the peo-
pie, if they are true to their trust, will
use all honorable means to defeat such
election and such purposes. The ac-
tion of the eighteen in opposing the
election of Mr. Mitchell to the United
States Senate, is worthy the most
hearty endorsement of good citizens. I
endorse their action. The gentleman
elected to represent us for the next six
years as U. S. Senator would not have
been my choice. The fact that Mr..
Dolph is corporation lawyer, and has
large interests in corporations, is sufi-
cient reson of objection in his being
elected to the u. s. Senate, for in my
opinion the time has fully come when
the rights of the people should be
jealously guarded against the encroach-
ments of corporate power, and it is
reasonable to expect more impartial
action from legislator whose inter.
ests are not identified with corpora.
tions, than one whose are. But Mr..
Dolph is lawyer cf reputation and a
citizen Of character, aud if he is true to
the great trust imposed upon him and
redeems the fair promises he has made
to the people, he will deserve the hearty
support of The people Of our State.

Remainder Of Public Lands.

Gen. F. A. Walker, of the census
bureau, who is pretty well informed
on statistical matters, concludes from
the data before him, that the remaining
area of public lands available for ordi-
nary agriculture is not large, and that
most of them will be taken up before
the end of another year. It is true,
indeed, that large part of the re-
naming area is land IF less value
than the best land, and much Of it is
quite worthless. This side of the
Mississippi 100000 square miles are
not yet settled by white men, and of
this area 100000 square miles, en-
bracing much of the best land, are in
cluded within Indian reservations;
while much of the remainder consists
of mountainous tracts, lands inaccessl
BILE or sterile, and arid regions which
cannot be irrigated. Still, after all
these lands are deducted there remain
vast tracts which will serve for agricul-
tural Purposes, in which are millions
of acres of as good lands as can be
found On the continent. But undoubt-
edly the choice locations will soon be
getting scarce. We shall. however,
have on this coast lands enough to ac-
commodate all who may come fer twen-
ty years or more. It is singular to
observe that each succeeding year we
are finding excellent farms in places
which had always hitherto been regard
ed as quite worthless for agriculture.
No small part of the vast expanse known
as "the great American desert" has
thus been settled already, and every
year witnesses new and extensive en-
croachments upon it. In the light of
experience it is now hard to say what
| is desert land and what is not. We
get our best crops now from lands which
ten years ago no one supposed there
would ever be an attempt to cultivate.

A DEsVER husband, lifting glass
of prussic acid to his lips, bowed with
eourtly grace to his wife, and saying
quietly, sHere's luck, Hattie" drank
it, and himself, off. Man is the only
animal that faces death so quietly.
Only a week before the Denver case,
. young Psrisian s'blood," who had run
through money and reputation, blew
his brains out in the presence of bis
sweetheart, remarking as he pulled the
trigger, ''The emily nuisance about the
thing is, that fellow might think oi
something afterwards that he had for
gotten to do" But all this simply by
way Of preface to the very latest sui
cide-that Of Thursday night, at st
Louis, where map hung himself with
his wife's garter. The fact that the in
strument Of execution, though closing
with clasp, and used by its owner In
single circle only, was long enough fol
his purpose, is perhaps sufficient justif
cation for his rash act

A MISGUIDED GIRL.-Tfe Times
will publish story in the morning to
the effect that Chinese dwarf about
As years old, A. inches high, is about
to marry a young woman aged 10, who
gives the name of Fannie Coleman,
and is said to be Of well-to-dc Catho-
lie parents of New York. The story,
rs told, is that the girl saw the dwarf
ON exhibition in New York and fell Vi
olently in love with him, the attach
ment being reciprocated. Her parents
objected and none of the Catholic
priests in New York would marry
them. The Buddhist dwarf he's been
here on exhibition three weeks, and
Fannie is here also. The priests here
refused to marry them, and they have
gone to st Louis. The girl says if the
priest will not marry them they will
ask Protestant minister to perform
the ceremony. Failing i'll that, they
will apply to civil magistrate. The
dwarf says he is quite wealthy, and the
question seems to be whether it is a
case of love or lucre on the part OF the
girl.

concluded to have little fun at the
expense OF newly married couple re-
siding here Accordingly they visited
the residence Of Isaac Jones and pro-
ceeded to give lin and his bride a reg
ular .old-fashioned charivari. After
they had succeeded in making as much
noise as desirable the groom came forth
and he claims that the boys assaulted
him. In the morning NJ. Jones caused
the arrest Of four young men engaged
in tae affair Of the previous night,
charged With creating riot. At this
hour the hearing is in progress before
Justice Flint, 5ut the general senti-
ment seems to be i'll favor of the theory
that the prosecutor received his facial
injuries by falling down. .

Friday. He died in the triumphs of a

The nimrods of this section have

game law. While we think that the
game ought to be protected, it is a
shame to prohibit many poor men, that
are living in or near the mountains
from killing deer for individual use.
Men who kill game for thtir hides alone
ought, by all means, be severely pun
ished. We think they acted very un.
| wisely when they enacted such law.
The old law was good enough, if it had
| been enforced. This makes us think

asked by his sunday-school teacbe,
where the wicked finally went to. He
replied "They practice law awhile
