Press OF Business in the Land Office.

The pressure of business in the general land
Office is very great, and the new business is
coming in faster than the old can be dis
posed of. The pressure is such that the COM
missioner says if the entire force of the Office
should be devoted to bringing up the work in
arrears, in cases now ready for final action, it
would require q year and half to accomplish
this result. There are about two thousand
contested homestead cases now pending be-
sides those in conflict with congressional
grants. There are also twenty thousand final
homestead cases in which the proof is yet to
be examined, land thirty-four thousand pri-
vate cases, and other final entries awaiting adj
iudication. In addition there arc seventy-fve
thousand timber culture entries, and over two
hundred thousand original homestead cases on
file in the public lands division. In the rail-
way division there are about 5000 pending
settlement claims all of which are to be de-
cided in connection with the adjustment of
railway grants. There are some 10000 pre-
emption cases awaiting final action, and there
are in addition large number, probably near
100000, subsisting prc-emption claims of
record upon which final proof is liable to be
at any time offered. There are also large ac-
cumulations of cases in the mineral, swamp
land, private land claim, and other divisions
of the Office awaiting disposal.

Bourbon ChIeanery.

Bourbonism is noted for its peculiar manner
of misrepresentation. After wasting precious
time during this session upon every conceiv-
able subject of minor Importance; after delay
ing action upon all measures by amendments,
long speeches, and various parliamentary tao
tics; after the constant and annoying intro.
ducton of useless legislation by the demo-
Gratis, one of their most bourbon of bourbon
organs now comes to the front with the query
:" Is the responsible majority in congress will
ing to go the country with confession Of its
incapacity to reduce taxes and check the nc
emulation of surplus revenue"
This, from democratic source, is bald
ofIrontery, and nothing less, The "responsi-
bic majority" has been harassed from the
beginning by the irresponsible minority. 1t
is hindored yet in every effort to proceed
with the question of the tariff. 1t is un-

"FEDoRA" is an immense success in Paris,
according to the newspapers, and SARA BERN
HARDT is tho SARA of old, but the ugly fact
remains that the running expenses of the
Ambigu theater are $500 night, while since
the first few nights the receipts have averaged
only about $780, The Ambigu is small

are notoriously expensive to mount; and the

doubt painfully aware of the fact that she is

questionably willing TO go to the country"
with statement of facts from the record.
When those facts arc presented to the people
there can be no doubt that they will ap-
prove the course which has been pursued
in spite Of many obstacles, and they
will condemn the Opposition from the
democrats in congress" which is recommended
by the same paper, in the same issue from
which the above first quotation is made If
it is presumed that by such tricks of misrepre-
sontation the people can be deceived, there is
an unhappy awakening in store for the party
Of retrogression. Where ignorance is dense,
and democracy correspondingly strong,the APP
peals of dcmagogues may prevail Where
intelligence is tho rule, and ignorance the OK
ccption, party lines cannot be closely drawn
by efforts of that nature. The democratic
party may hopo in vain for forty.eight elect
oral votes in the north, if that hope is based
upon tho successful result of obstruction, mis-
statement, and chicanery.

A French BIundcr.

Tho French republic is in manifestly
weak and unstable condition. The prosccu-
tion of Prince NAPOLEON for his cranky
proclamation is n confession of weakness on
the part of the government. They should
learn and know that kingly and imperial
control of press and speech are the worst
enemies Of liberty and republican institutions.
France can great deal better afford to ignore
NAPOLEON and all of his faction than to use
the forces of the general government against
one who is so impotent. His arrest and inn
prisonnont have dignifed him more than
anything else that could have been done. The
authorities, knowing NAPOLEON to have no
weapon but his name have shown their fear of
that name. Ho is, therefore, a more potent
and dangerous enemy of the republic to-day
than at any time hitherto. To follow his ar
rest with banishmcnt, as has been proposed,
would be to mako of an insignificant man a
martyr. Such course of procedure might,
and probably would, result in serious
menace to the government, 1t would have
been better to allow PLoN PLoN to write and
print whatever he might wish, and not to
have advertised him by arrest or by any other
sort of notice.

important to refer to the past to see whether
it justifles his fears Tho record of the last
national convention, MS above cited, shows
that tho much vaunted majority at Chi
cago was composed of 296 delegates from re-
publican states, and 1853 from democratic
states and the territories; and that its 206
delegates from republican states lacked so of
being majority at Chicago" The record
also shows that 1O5 of Garfeld's delegates
from democratic states and from the terrific.
iies were absolutely necessary to his obtain
ing majority. For all that he was elected,
from which it is fair to argue that nomipa-
tions may be thus influenced without insur.
ing defeat, when the defeated faction is gen.
erous enough to support the nominees.

ALASKA has the richest gold mines in the
world, they say, and people are focking
thither There is but one drawbacl--the
gold cannot dig itself. This necessitates the
transportation of machinery long distance,
blasting of ice and melting of snow, besides
all the other expenses of mining. The season
is short one, and the cold is intense. Conse-
quently the success of the miners is so sur
rounded with difficulties that they might
much better delve in tho soil of the north
western territories for wheat, oats, and corn,
and convert them into gold. 1t would pay
better in the end and prove more beneficial to
the country.

THE biennial revival of the story that Mrs.
w. j. FLORENCE personates Mrs PARAN STE.
VEINS, of New York, as Mrs. Con. GGLTLoRY,
is now in full blast. But it is nevertheless
true, as anybody who has ever seen the two
women knows, Mrs. FLoRENoE's business and
makeup are absolutely identical with Mrs.
PARAN STEvENs's--for that lady has busi-
ness and q makeup, too. Some years ago-a
good many-Mrs. STEVENS and Mrs. FLOR
ENCE were chums When Mrs. STEVENS had
climbed the slippery steps of social fame she
rather went back on Mrs. FLORENCE; but
BILLY and Mrs. FLORENCE determined to get
even with the old lady, and consequently Mrs

about two millions, and then called her.

Carrying II Too Far.
Toledo Telegram.


There are three hundred thousand people
inDakota asking to be admitted into the union as
n state. They have complied with all the require
ments precedent 10 such admission, and no valid
reason can be assigned for theirrejection, Never
theless, the probabilities are that Dakota will be
kept out until after the next presidential election
The democrats will probably defeat her admission
at this session of congress, and next year they
will have majority in that body, and will have
no dimcultyin keeping her out of the union. This
policy is adoPed by the democrats, not because
there is not the requisite population for a new
state, not because the people are not In need of
the advantages OF state government, and not be.
cause the best interests OF the country do not de-
mand the admission Of Dakota into the union,
but solely because the majority of the people
seeking admission vote the republican ticket.
That is the only reason for opposition to the Rd-
mission Of Dakota, That Is, the people OF that
territory, and all who interested in the growth
and prosperity of that portion of our country,
must be punished because they vote tho republ.
can ticket Ia that not carrying party little too
far? Can the democrats afford to place themselves
In thatp position before tho country? If they think
they can, let them try IT, They will discover to

Remembrance Of happiest days Of my childhood,
When brother and sister were cutting my ears.

Remembrance of love for the girl with the freokes
Who ate up my caramels, peanuts, and tarts,
And then I remember how sadly tore
The first checkored apron that ever 1 wore.

Here in our own beautiful Utah
we believe that Christmas will be
observed in its best and truest sense,
not as a religious anniversary that
contemplates the gloom of Calvary.
not as a feast taat means only
senseless fIivolity; bat as festival
which is commemorative of the
birth of the Redeemer; as a time
not merely for merry-making, but
for deeds in harmony with the
love and charity of that Redeemer
There is plenty for all.
and if there is sufficient Christian
love to distribute it, all will feel
that it is a kind Providence that has
ordained at least one day which
gives full scope to the human heart,
and which is long enough between
the rising and going down of the
sun for the full play of the nobler
and better of the human virtues.
