make good any deficiencies which might
be found to exist within its granted tract
was matter within the discretion of the
Secretary of the Interior. That discre-
tion l determined to exercise in the
direction of opening to settlers as speed
lily as possible all lands within the in
demnlty strips to which the road might
not be entitled, as it seemed clear there
would be an abundance of land in the
odd sections IL the first strip to supply
all deficiencies within the granted tract.
| decided to not withdraw the lands in
the second indemnity strip on the west
end of the iue and decided also to give
the road notice that its selection in the
first strip must be made as soon as posi-
bic The road complained that the delay
in making the selections was in 4 great
measure the fault of the interior depart
ment, and upon a careful inquiry their
complaint seems to he in part well
founded. The first step towards making
the selection OF lands in the indemnity
strip was to ascertain how much land had
been lost by preemption entry within the
granted tract. This the railroad could
not ascertain except by a search through
the local land offices, which would con-
sumo vast amount of time II will re-
quire much time for the government to
do this The land Office informs me that
fully two months will be required to
make an exact compilation of all the
quarter sections that have been taken out
from within the granted tract al ong the
vast line OF the Northern Pacific within
its granted trace. That company will be
required to make its selection within the
first indemnity. This the road has ex-
pressed willingness to do, and it is,
therefore, probable that such of the odd
sections within the first indemnity strip
as may not be required to make good
the deficiencies within the granted tract
will be opened for settlement this sum
mer. OF course even numbered sections
are opened at any time. Here is E popu-
lar misunderstanding, think, as to the
extent of the withdrawal within this
strip. The government does not with
draw any but odd mum bered sections
Even numbered sections are public do
main.

Blue Ribbon Battle Song.

The following lines were composed in
Victoria by Prof A. L. Francis, and ded-
lcated to Col. Hawkins in honor of his
temperance efforts in British Columbia:
We are marching on with shield and
banner bright,
In the temperance cause we viii battle
for the right;
We will wage q war with tyrant black
as night
Till We gain glorious victory.
CHORUS.
Then down with the gin mills! Down
with saloons,
Up with with the temperance banner,
shout victory!
For the Blue Ribbon Army is marching
to the sea,
Battling for our home and liberty.
Wake the song-wear the blue,
Take the pledge-and be true.
We will fight for Prohibition till we're
free
From the curse that brings us sorrow
sin and slavery.
Hear cry through the land from the
lone deserted wife,
Save my wandering boy from the dens
Of sin and vice."
While the night winds tell of a fathers
darkened life,
Save the only hope OF the fireside."-
CHORUS
In the dark haunts of vice, where the
lurid flashes glare,
Is the rum fiend's home and his bloated

Drink the last dregs of poison while
curses fill the air.
Then the rum fiend's work is over

Once noble brow the gutter at your

The National Republican Convention
OfIsSk.

"a
ATCHIsoN, May 24-Col John A. Mar
tin, of this city, secretary of the national
republican committee, has been asked
as to the next meeting of the committee,
and as to what action has been taken
looking to the national convention of
1884. Replying to these inquiries he
states that the committee will meet in
Washington on the 18th of December
next, to fix date and place for holding
the convention. At the last meeting
of the committee held in Washington last
January the following resolution was
adopted:
ResOlUed, That the call for the next
republican national convention shall be
set broad and liberal, SO as to invite the
cooperation in without imposing any
other test than that all citizens who are
in favor of elevating and dignifying
American labor, protecting and extend
ing home industries, giving popular ed
ucation to the masses of people, securing
free suffrage and an honest count of the
ballots, and effectualIy protecting all
human rights in every section of our
common county, and who are willing
to support the nominees OF the conyen-
ton.
The committee also fixed the basis of
representation in the next national con-
ventioD, and the manner of electing the
delegates by the adoption of the follow
ing order:
"The republican national convention
of 1884 shall consitst of four delegates
at large from each state and two dele
gates from each congressional district.
The delegates at large shall be chosen by
the popular delegates of the state con-
vention, called on not less than twenty
days published notice, and held not less
than thirty days nor more than sixty
days, before the meeting Of the national
convention; republicans electing their
delegates in separate, popular and legal
conventions called on sim liar notice,
held in districts at any time within fif-
teen days next prior to the meeting of
the state convention or by such delegates
as shall be chosen in the latter meth cd.
If not elected previous to the meeting
of the state convention, all district dele
gates shall be accreditable by the officers
of such district convention. Two dele
gates shall be allowed from each territory
and from the District of Columbia, simi-
larly chosen. Notices Of contests may
be given to the national convention,
accompanied by full printed statement
of contest, which shall also be made
public, and preference in the hearing and
determining of contests shall be given
contestants according to the dates of
reception of such notices and statements
by the national committee.

Teller Limiting the n. p. II. r.


CHICAGO, May 23.-The Tri6une'S
Washington special says that Secretary
Teller says: Il have deemed it my duty
to give notice to the Northern Pacific
company that they are only entitled to
alternate sections, reserved in the second
indemnity strip, but alternate sections in
the first indemnity strip will not be held
for any longer period than necessary for
the road to make its selections. The
company had prominent lawyers
here, among them being Roscoe Conk-
ling and Mr. Gray. Their first claim
was that the secretary of the interior had
no more discretion as to the odd sections
in the second indemnity strip than he
has within the belt of the granted land.
They claimed that the lands in both of
these strips were by law and right abso-
lutely reserved for them until such time
as they get ready to claim them and the
inference. if not intimation, clearly was
that they would be quite at liberty to be
ten twelve or fifteen years about it. l
denied that and concluded that the
road had no such right IN second indem-
nifty strips, and that whether or not the
odd sections within those strips or with
in eitherof them should be withheld to
