FORFEITED GRANTS - OPINION
OF SECRETARY OF INTERIOR

The Secretary of the Interior in his
annual report, makes use of the following
language upon the condition of these
grants:
1t is difficult to make the people under
stand that the executive department of
the Government cannat declare grant
forfeited when the corporation for whose
benefit it WAS made has failed to comply
with the conditions thereof. Petitions
are presented to the Executive demand
Ing the forfeiture of grants for non-com-
pliancc with the conditions thereof. In
dividual claimants declare themselves out
ragged because the Commissioner of the
General Land Office refuses to allow FL
ings on the odd sections of land within
the unlorfeited railroad grants The
Government is derided as the Government
Of the rich and opposed to the poor, be-
cause the executive department of the
Government does not do what the courts
have repeatedly declared could be done
only by the Legislative branch of the Gov
eminent, that is, declare forfeiture of a
grant.
Complaint is made that grants made
more than quarter of century ago are
still treated as valid, subsisting graats,
ard the settler forbidden to go thereon,
although nothing has been done toward
the building of the road, which must be
built before the railroad company can re-
ceive the evidence Of the title given to it
by the Government so many years before.
If the executive department of the
Government disregard the law and issues
IA patent to such settler, he takes nothing
by the instrument, and is as much at the
mercy of the corporation as if he had
not received the Government patent
Congress alone can relieve the settler by
declaring the grants forfeited.
Ii the grants are not forfeited when
there has not been a full compliance with
the conditions of the grant, it seems to
be just and proper that some provision
should be made by which the settlers,
who, through ignorance, or because they
believed such grants had been or would
be forfeited, have made settlement on
such railroad lands, can secure title,
either through the railroad company or
from the Government

CIR w FISHING.

We notice of late that some of the
papers who have hitherto paradcd the
riches Of the Cnur d Alene mines in so
glowing colors, are, now the excitement
is up to the greatest fever heat, placing
before the public some very doubling and
discouraeing statements Of men who have
been there and examined for themselves.
What has suddenly come over the spirit
dreams? Whatever there may be there
that is valuable, certainly during the last
two months no prospecting could be done
that would settle the question Of richness
and extent of these mines and all that is
known is what was developed months
ago, which was confined to very few
claims, Bat the tide Of immigration has
set in so strongly, that p crawfsh now
can be Of little use, towards checking it,
till each and all have seen the animal and
learned whether it is an elephant or a
rhinosccros having a horn to gore them.
At any rate Spokane Falls, Rathdrum,
Ceul d Alene, Trout Creek, Belknap,
Heron Siding and few other towns are
bound to catch good portion of the
money that is brought from abroad (save
that taken By the n. p raiiroad) whether
or not they ever gather amy that is taken
out Of the mines, and they feel happy a,
all events. The miners and the prospec.
tors are the persons who will be able to

TERRIFIC FLOOD Of THE OHIo.-The late
dispatches state that heavy rains have de-
luaed the country tributary to the Ohio river
and caused an unprecedented rise in that
river and some of its tributaries, very many
cities and towns were submerged, business
suspended; millions Of property destroyed
and several lives; about 20 600 persons rem,
dered homeless, ana large contributions
made to relieve the sufferers Feb at .
pm, at CincinnattI the Ohio stood G3 feet
above low water and weather still warm.
The gas light expected to 90 out before morn
ing AT Wheeling the river stood at 8 and
falling slowly. Feb sth, at Louisville,
water reached 39l feet in the canal AT
GAINESVILLE the river was 81 feet and 81 inches
at 2 m, on the sth, at Stubeuviiia the
highest point reached was - feet Other
towns have equally high water Imasiua-
ton can picture to those who know these
places what damage must en,ue and sutlpr-
ing must follow such rise in the winter.

There are who touch the magic string.

He writes:

name that PARKER'S Tonic will cure it-even
after forty years" There was man who es-
capped the fate OF those whom the poet laments.
This preparation, which has heretofore been
known as PARKER's GINGER Tonic, will here
after be advertised and sold under the name Of
PARKERs Tonic. Inasmuch as ginger Is really
an unimportant Ingredient and unprincipled
dealers are constantly deceiving their customers
by substituting inferior preparations under the
name Of ginger, we drop the misleading word.
There Is no change, however, In the prepare
