There are lots of us who were not old

ike Jolly to throw away our chances tor
military glory, but duty requires me to
suppress my military ambition, and fear
causes me to vote agnins. the bill, for had
as soon have the dogs of war turned loose
on me as TO meet some OF my noary-headcd
constituents after having voted for such an
extraordinary and extravagant bill. Those
features of the bill preventing the fencing
of land by others than the owner and pun
fishing fence-Cutting are admirable, and
evidently popular, rs there are forty bills
pending TO the same effect, and expect to
vote for them, but cannot swallow the
whole thing even with The sugar coating
OF the preamble and the twenty-five head

THEIR INTERESTS.
No man has less sympathy with cota-
, munism than myself, but when there are
grievances com plained OF they should be
diligently inquired into aud Ghe evil cor
rected. While nine-tenths OF the fence
, cutting has been done without excuse,
there were complaints that should have
had patient hearing long since.
: The law should check all monopollstic as
well as commun site tendencies, tor both
result in the impoverishment Of the people,
and will prove destructive of our institu-
tons. One produces tyranny, the other
anarchy.
deny, most emphat,cally, the charge of
the senator that the state encourages COM
munism by not forcing its citizens to pay
tor the grass on the public domain. The
law of supply and demand will prove sutfi-
Gent IN this case to give value, as It has
always done, so the lands will be leased
speedily enough when you give assurance
of full protection, for the orowding OF the
range will force SUCH re-
suit. We have never given
an opportunity to these people to lease the
school lands. AS population increases the
agricultural interests will absorb the agri-
cultural land and the stock interests will
settle dewn on the grazinF lands: By i'm.
mense donations OF land, we forced railroad
building ahead OF the demands OF the coun-
try. We forced our lands on the market at
low prices. BY large expenditures OF money
