WASHINGTON CITY, Dec SIN a con-
tested land case now before the interior de-
partment, the attorney for one OF the par
ties in his brief makes the following observa-
tion: Lord Bacon has wisely and truly
written: The letter kil'eth, but the spirit
maketh alive Is it not sufficient If man
substantially complies with the spirit of
the laws And if he do not comply with its
every letter, if he honestly believes he has
done so, and acts accordingly, will his good
faith and honest intent not be considere! by
this department in the Interpretation of the
lawf' The opposing counsel opens his brief
as follows: "The claimants counsel in this
case is either grossly ignorant Of the law
or has broken his oath as an attorney, for
he either does not know that Lord Bacon
did not write the second Epistle
to the Corinthians, or he is trying to mis-
lead the interior department by 'falsehood
and deceit by quoting the apostle Paul as
good authority in land cases When the
great apostle wrote to the people Of Corinth,
The letter killeth, but the spirit giveth life,
he had no reference to timber, culture cases;
in fact, the act entitled An act to
encourage the growth of timber on
western prairies' had not become q law in A. D.
60, nor did it become law until 800 years
later, so it is clearly to be seen that the
language quoted is not in point. There is
one thing in his argument also that is to be
regretted, and that is the charge of plagiar-
ism against the great lord chancellor of
England. Bacon has been charged with be-
ing the author of the plays commonly
credited.to Shakespeare, and also with cor
ruption in Office, but this new thrust Of liter
ary piracy is extremely unjust, coming at
this late date from a member Of the Mime

sists of fifty-fve closely printed folio pages,
and is taken up principally with the affairs

covers the period between April Is, 1883,
and October, 1884, and gives full details of
the annexations of territory by the German
commissioner for the west coast of Africa,
along with the vain protests of E. H. Hewitt,
the British consul at Old Calabar,
LONDON, Dec. s.-The Times in comment
ing on the German "whitebook," says: "The
annexations of territory by Germany in
west Africa were planned in the spring of
1884 and completed in the summer. 1t mus
be admitted that this first stage of Primo
Bismarck's colonial policy has been marked
by promptness, thoroughness, resolu ton and
vigor, unsurpassed at any period Of his
carearn
