The DiviMing Rod.

Concerning the divning rod the
Cleveland Leader publishes the testi-
mony of several skeptics converted,
and the following from Mr.. Charles
Latimer, of Cleveland: "The divin-
ing rod is only another exemplifica-
ton OF a power not yet recognized.

of the divining rod. After he had

the rod would work over it. 1t was
surprising. He held the prongs SC

THE PERCEPTION LAW.
IL Will Probably BE Repealed During
the Coming Session of Congress.

During the past summer the Com
missioner of the General Land Office
has had, in the States and Territories
where there are large quantities of VI :
sold public lands, a large force of
Special Agents engaged in the detect
ION and investigation of fraudulent en-
tries under the pre-emption. homestead
and timber culture acts. The reports
OF these agents reveal such a condition
of facts, that in all probability the Sec
retary OF the Interior, in his annual re-
port, will recommend the repeal not
only OF the pre- -emption laws, but OF
the timber-culture act also. Among
the considerations which it is believed
Will be urged in this repeal, are
First, that the practically actual set
tier can get a title to his farm as soor:
under the homestead act as under the
the presumption law, and that there
is no need of the two methods to at
tam the same object. That while the
three laws remain in force, the settler
NAV take advantage of each, and ac-
quire title to 4SO acres of public
land, by paying cash for 16O acres
and taking the remainder under the
homestead and timber-culture acts.
the quantity which it is suggested is
greater than the settler should be per.
mltted to obtain on such easy terms.
In the present condition of affairs
both the redemption and the timber
culture laws offer premium to dis
honesty, as is clearly shown by the
great number of fraudulent entries
which have been detected.

UPPER COUNTRY HOUSES.
lney Are Closing Out, and Moving Down
the Nalley-Why They Cannot Keep

Open.
n. Is. Shaw, who has for the past
two years been the leading business
man OF the upper country, has con-
cluded to close out his stores at GA
lena and Vienna, and to move to some
Lower Wood River town-probably
HALEY. He has not yet fully made
up his mind regarding his future loca-
ton, but will decide in a day or two.
Merriam & Carne, who had stores IN
Galena and Sawtooth, and Mrs. A. b.
More, who likewise has stores in the
same towns, are also moving down
their stocks. The first named with
the intention of closing out entirely,
and Mrs. More with the intention of
keeping only the Galena store going.
This change in the business of the
upper country has been brought about
by the practice of the larger compan.
les in buying their goods in Haley or
Salt Lake. The Haley merchants,
having large capital and carrying
large stocks, buy by the carload and
ship in here at bottom rates of freight.
Their standing being AL they can get
the best prices on goods and most
favorable terms Of payment. They
are therefore enabled to undersell
smaller dealers and those in such out.
of-the-way places as Galena, Vienna
and Sawtooth, and make good liv-
ing at prices with which smaller deal
ers would starve.
In this respect Haley has de-
cided advantage over even Ogden
and Salt Lake. A mining company
or prospecting outfit seldom needs a
carload of any article at one time,
and even the heaviest of them do not
care to lay in stocks of goods that will
last them over month; and while
the aggregate of what they require
frequently amounts to carload in
weight, still these articles comprise
the miscellaneous aggregation known
as general merchandise" which
must be bought at different houses.
If these lots are purchased in some
distant town, such as Salt Lake, the
rate of freight upon them is $3.50 per
100 pounds to HALEY. The local
on the other hand, get the
same freight in, in large lots, for about
81 per 100 pounds. And the differ
ence in freight rates itself is a good
profit. The difference in favor Of
Haley is therefore quite marked, and
it will in time secure to us all the
heavier trade of the upper country.

The Grand Array Non-partisan.

Replying to an inquiry as TO whether or
not Democrat conld belong to the G. A. r.,
the editor Of the lie Mars Iowa Democrat
in recent Issue Of his journal, made the
following remarkable declaration: No; not
unless he surrenders his principles. The G.
A. R. is secret Republican league and
every member of it is Republican at heart.
The Democrat who joins IT should be treated
as a deserter and denied Fellowship with his
party"
A charge so utterly false as this and SO
plainly inspired by malice, ought not to be
passed over unnoticed And first, as to the
statement that the G. A. R. is secret Re
publican league. That is refuted by the
statistics Of the Order, which show that in
many localities the Democratic members
if it be proper to speak Of Democratic or Re
publican members of an organization which
does not recognize any such thing as poll
tics either in its rules and regulations OF
personal intercourse = greatly outnumber
those of Republican affiliations, and that
among its most ardent and distinguished
workers are some of the most active and ae-
gressive politicians in the Democratic party.
In Putnam county, Ohio, for instance, where
three-q quarters OF the surviving veterans are
members Of the Order, more than majority
are Democrats in politics although it would
never have occurred to any one, on seeing
how they turned ont on Memorial Day, de
spite the pouring rain, to ask Whist the poll
tics of these patriotic, loving comrades were
We do not suppose, indeed, there could be
found even in the historic strongholds OF
Repnblicanism, Post of the Grand Army
whose members were all Of one political
faith, and certainly none IN which the most
liberal toleration Of opinion did not prevail
As matter of fact, tie members of the
Grand Army are generally so far Indifferent
to politics that it never occurs to them to
inquire who of their Post comrades are
Democrats and who Republicans. We con-
cede that there was period in the early
history Of the Order when it had something
of political complexion, but that was
its misfortune rather than its fault; hap
PLY it was quickly rescued from the evil
Influences that then controlled it and it is
to-day absolutely and essentially non-parti-
san. Nor is it true that every member is a
Republican at heart" unless it be as con-
tradistinguished from those who were rebels
at heart and during the war were known as
Copperheads," though claiming to be simply
Democrats. They are indeed Republican at
heart in the sense that they would never at
the dictate Of party leaders, take up arms
against the Republic, or secretly give COM
fort to its enemies; but upon all issues save
those growing out of the war there is no
reason TO doubt that they are as sincerely
Democratic in their political professions
as any class of citizens. Certainly, unless
the exchange of army experiences around

war songs, the succoring of needy and
afflicted comrades, and the annual decora-
ton of the graves of the dead are
pleasures and duties calculated to under
mine political faith, there are no. influences
growing out of fellowship in the Order that
can be said to have a political bearing.
As for treating Democratic comrades as de-
serters and denying them the privileges of
party fellowship, that is threat which the
politicians are far too sagacious to carry out,
whatever the editor of the lie Mars Democrat
may think about it. In the present evenly
balanced condition of the two great political
parties neither can afford to ALLEVIATE the
support of single voter, and the leaders
are perfectly well aware that nothing would
SO surely shatter their chances of success as
a crusade against the Grand Army.
No ex-soldier of Democratic principles
need be deferred from joining the Order be-
cause of any apprehension either that his
politics will be questioned by his Post COM
rades, or that his party standing will be
impaired. So long as the following inhibi-
ton forms an integral part of the Rules and
Regulations of the Grand Army its nom
partisan character cannot be successfully
challenged:
The National tribune. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1877-1917, 1883-06-14

Our attention is called to the fact that
persons representing themselves as author
lied agents of THE TRIBUNE have been
soliciting subscriptions to this journal and
appropriating the money thus obtained to
their own uses, and to prevent similar i'm
positions hereafter we take this opportunity
to say that THE TRIBUNE has no authorized
agents whatever. Many of our subscribers
have voluntarily undertaken to raise clubs
for TIE TRIBUNE among those to whom
they were personally known, but in no case
have we guaranteed the safe transmission of
the subscriptions intrusted to them. The
fact is that our subscribers are in much
better position than THE TRIBUNE could
possibly be to know who are or who are not
proper persons to intrust with their money,
and if they will but exercise the same dis
erection In this as in other business matters
they viii run no risk of being swindled
Our advice to them is to confide their SUBJ
scriptions to no one of whose responsibility
they are not thoroughly satisfied, and to
trust no one simply because he represents
himself as an agent for THE TRIBUNE. As
matter of fact, the amount of money lost
to subscribers through the default of the
parties to whose hands it was committed
has been very small, indeed, which is in
itself sufficient reason for believing that
they are themselves the best judges as to
the responsibility of TRIBUNE canvassers.
THE TRIBUNE itself employs no agents and
holds itself responsible for none.

We surrender large portion Of our space
again, this week, to the publication Of he
mortal Day reports. Some Of these are of
local interest only, but as a whole they form
sstril1ing exhibit Of The extent to which the
spirit Of devotion to the memory OF The
Nations late defenders pervades the coun-
try. 1t VIII be observed, as one Of the dis
tinguishing features of the Observance, that
the occasion was graced nearly everywhere
by the presence Of school children In large
Numbers, who not only marched to the CEN
eteries with our veterans, bat ia many cases
strewed the memorial flowers with their
fond and gentle fingers. At Las Vegas. New
Mexico, for instance, there vas borne along
in the procession a car containing group of
sweet young girls, dressed IN spotless white
and each representing some State or Terri
tory. Another conspicuous feature Of the
celebration was the interest manifested in
1t by civic organizations, such as the Odd
Fellows and knights Of Pyfhias. In many
places the members Of the local lodges Of
those benevolent orders turned out in full
regalia and acted as an escort for the VET
Grams Indeed the spirit Of fraternity which
imbues the members Of the Grand Army
appears to have animated all classes Of citi-
zens on Memorial Day, and it may be said
with truth that Of al our national anniver-
saries none now has such deep hold upon
the affections Of the public as the 30lh OF
May. 1t is to this generation what the
Fourth Of July was to its predecessors.
