in which they agree to close their sa-

necessary, that all other business houses

Good Work at Washington.

Surely the House of Representatives
is getting down to solid work since the
holiday vacation. Mr.. Holman, for in
stance, found no great difficulty in get
ting resolution passed declaring that
in the Judgment Of the House all public
lands heretofore granted to States and
corporations in aid of the construction
OF railroads, so far as the same issubject
to forfeiture by reason of the nonfulfill-
ment of the conditions on which the
grants We're made, ought to be declared
forfeited by the United States, and re-
stored to the public domain.
This was good work, but Mr.. Hol-
mans second resolution, also passed,
was fully as much in accordance with
public feeling and desire. 1t is to the
effect that our laws relating to public
lands should be SO framed and admin
istered as to ultimately secure freeholds
to the greatest number of citizens, and
to this end all laws facilitating specula-
ton in public lands authorizing or per-
mitting entry or purchase in large bod
les ought to be repealed, and all public
lands adapted to agriculture, subject to
bounty grants, and those i'm aiG of edu-
cations ought to be reserved for the ben
eft of actual and bona fide settlers, and
disposed Of only under the provisions OF
the homestead. law.
There was some opposition to this res
olution., Mr.. Kasson feared such law
might work injury to the cattle indus
try. Mr.. Bedford, however, neutralized
Mr.. Kasson's influence by declaring
that he did not propose that four or five
cattle kings should own the West as
four or five railway kings own the East.
It may be that our readers would like
to take down the names of members
who voted against the resolutions.
Here they are: Barksdale, Bingham,
Bisbee, George, Horr, Kean, Libbey,
Lyman, Morse, Muldrow, Poland, Ran

late, for she was dead, After seeing her

Mr.. Ellis was born In Harrisburg, Pa,

with Whom he spent more than 46 years
in happy union, and who cared
tenderly for him in his last sickness,
and survives to mourn his loss.
He moved from Ohio to Illinois
in June, 1865, and in the following
year came onto the farm which he oc-
cupied till his death. He has been
out of health for some 3 years, having
received an injury when at the west
and for the past month has been fail

sudden to many though it was ex-
pected by him. He died at the last
hour of the old year. Besides his Wild
ow, he leaves p son and. daugh-
ter at home esteemed and loved,
having the sympathy of and friends
and neighbors, and two daughters mar
ried, one of whom came from Prescott,
Wis.,lto attend the funeral, and the
other telegraphed from Ohio her una
voidable detention. A son died three
years since, and young son was
drowned many years ago. His funeral
was attended January 4th, at his late
home, when an abituary discourse was
preached by Rev. Sargent, of Sando-
val, from Eccl.. 12, 6 and 7, with read
ing from the old bible which he had
studied, marked and filed with various
memoranda. The Masonic Lodge OF
Odin, of which he had been an hon.
Ored member for about seventeen years,
were present, and gave him burial ac-
cording to rites of their order. He was
buried at Centralia, where also the
lodge was represented at the cemetary
A full attendance at the funeral fol
such a severely cold and clustering day,
betokened the respect shown him and
the sympathy felt for his bereaved
family.
