The following are the latest bids for
school lands received by the secretary
,fA ho nAnfn lnnd hnnrd.

In Motley county the Continental
Cattle company bids for lease of "a
watered sections at 20 cents an acre
and IS dry sections at 8 cents an acre.
In Hall county the same company
bids to lease IL watered and 103 dry
sections at the same figures as above.
In same county, James +. Cooper bids
to lease watered sections, at 20 cents,
and Is dry sections at 8 cents per
acre.
Some of these bids being for lands
for which cents had been formerly
bid and overruied, indicates that the
bidders in such cases have abandoned
the idea of controverting the action
of the land board in rejecting
their previous bids; or, what
is not unlikely, they expect their pres
emit bids TO be rejected, and thereby
have stronger grounds to contest the
rulings of the board and the conStltu-
tionality of their action in the pre-
misses. 1t Is not improbable that the
bids will be again rejected either on
account of their occupying too much
of the county under one enclosure
1.-THE land bid for all being so enclosed
In one huge pasture on both sides of
creeks) and thus cutting of too much
of the water facilities from public
use: or they may be rejected unless
the bidders choose to ante-date the
effect of their present 8 cents bid bacl
TO the date of their original bids at I
cents.

Liberal Use of Bank Funds in True of
Panic


Panic,
From the New York Tribune
Among the wise things said at Sa-
ratoga was the observation of Presi-
dent Gage on the policy of liberal use
of the cash reserves in time of panic.
Experience has conciusively shown
that when the banks of the reserve
cities contract their loans in time of
stringency their whole influence is
really exerted to aggravate the panic
it should be their main function to
prevent. Yet the liberal loan policy
hat seldom been pursued save by the
bank of England. though, as President
Gage says, the New York. banks oc-
cupy position analogous to that of
the institution named, and if they do
not relieve the pressure they may in
tensity the panic. But it is clear that
before the liberal policy can be adopted
there must be such changes as will
strengthen the banks in panic times.
Heretofore one of their chief hinder
ances has been that their methods of
business haye tended to dlssipate their
funds unduIy during the incipient
stages of panic. so that when the Sc
we're pressure come they found them
selves dangerously extended and were
driven to contraction in self-defense,
just when they should have been able
to go to the assistance of their clients
and customers.
+ President Gage suggests as precau-
tionary measures the keeping OF larger
reserve than % per cent. by banks in
reserve cities, repeal of the usury
laws, removal of the restrictions i'm
posed on the national banks, and the
adoption of some uniform practice II
lending freely out of the cash reserve
in time of panic. The last suggestion
can hardly be enforced, because every
bank must finally be controlled by thu
state of its own business, and no rule
can apply to diverse conditions. Tit
other points may be utilized, and thai
! regarding the increase of the reserve
viii perhaps have to be adopted.

DEPARTMENT NOTES.
ASSESSMENTS, CHARTERS, ETC.


Following the attempted arrest Of
the governor Tuesday, by UniteC
States Marshal Tracy, matters resumed
their usual quiet again yesterday. The
governor, especially, was as compla
cent as if nothing had occurred to dis.
turb his general serenity. The i'm
preston is that without any intention
TO do so, he succeeded admirably
In bluffing the marshal, which is no
small exploit even for a governor OF
Texas, considering the power which IS
supposed to back officials OF the United
States government. The Francois
case will probably pass into history as
md fiasco.
W ,rk upon the new capitol Is pro-
resS ag steadily and perhaps as rap
~ as rould be expected. The inter
ior walls show up to the second story,
thai is, the basement walls are about
finished to the height required for the
hooring over the first (basement) story
OF the building. The Burnet granite
which has been brought upon the
grounds in large blocks, is being CHS
eled into proper shape and smoothed |
Tor the outer surface of the water ia

walls of the basement will be of the
white limestone rock which, though
not naturally as durable as the granite,
VIII be rendered sufficiently so by its
oaing less exposed to the atmosphere
