THE DELEGATEsnIP.
Port of Entry Times. !

IL il not our intention to advocate the
nomination of any particular man. nor
to say that any particular section Of the
Territory should furnish the man. We
wish only To deal with facts AZ they
seem to exist, and endeavor to suggest
some ideas which -hould be taken into
consideration by the two great parties
who are about to select the nominee.
First, each party should distinctly IN
derstand tie convictions held by the
nomi Zee az regards the forfeiture of the
unearned railroad lands of this Terri
tory, held by the several corporations
They should demand formal avowal
from the candidate that. il elected, he
would use every honorable method to
seoaIe the restoration of these lands to
the public domain. IL no declines to
make such promise, or does so con-
ditionally. he should be relepatea to the
background and some one found who
would do SO.
The Territory:is in its infancy. and it's
delightful climate. its unsurpassed coal
iron and timber lands, it's fertile valleys
and boundless grazing lands are being
advertised To the world, and the numer-
Gus inquiries which are being made by
persons in remote parts of the country.
all go to show that the present influx of
strangers to our shores will soon be
quadrupled. and these lands now un-
lawfully held by the Rrasping corpora
tons will all be needed for actual set
tiers. Does any sane person thi1k the
railroad will part with these lands for
years to come u they are permitted to
hold them They certainly will not.
What will be- the inevitable result 2
Settlers will be kept away, our popula
ton will increase slowly. our material
wealth will be retarded, aud an irrepar-
able injury done the Territory. We have
seen the evils of an uusympathiz'ng
delegate, and care must be taken that
the error of sending corporation man
il not repeated. Hence, require pledge
as before stated. aud vote only for such
men as will pledge themselves.
Second, We must select a wide awake
man who will secure sneh improve
ments rs we are naturally entitled TO.
We must seek the Improvement of our
rivers and harbors, the avenues % trade
from which at no distant dav our su-
premacy IA commercial State will
manifest itself.
Third, We are of right deserving Of
statehood. and an earnest effort must
be made in that directioR. Too long
have We been misruled by men foreign
to us, who come with no other recon-
mendation than Federal influence.
Once a State, the reins of government
will pass into home control, and until
that event il contaminated fact our
interest will be overruled. misdirected
and disrsgarded. Now, who is the man
10 achieve the results we d, sireI We
name him not, but will watch with
great exactness the doines of our cou-
ventions, and TO the right man oar sup

And endless rows of girls and boys,
As weeks and months go on.

Our lost companion TO regain
To You our thoughts incliue;
But knowing still, amid our pain,
Our loss must be your greatest gain,
Well try and not replne.
Now, seeing that the tears will drop,
I'll wish one wish, and then I'll stop
This disconnected rhyme:
Not having muckle time to spare,
As soon upon the wintry air
Your wedding bells will chime.
May you, with him whose hand you

Walk safely, till life's latest close,
The paths of peace among,
Your lives united, glad and calm,
In shorI, as fair and sweet a psalm,

the UNION PACIFIC BRANCHES,

The annual reports of the U1isn Pa
cifio Company have given NO detailed
information regarding the 80 called
branch lines. The report of the gov.
eminent expert has a tabular statement
regarding these lines, which is con-
densed below. Out of a total of $40,-
SS3, 900 bonds outstanding on these lines
the Union Pacific Company holds 3d.
6l5, 80, and thus out of the whole an
nual interest charge of $2,5l0, 5000 the
sum of 81 ,595, T9l Is payable TO the Union
Pacific. leaving only t9l5. los payable to
other holders. The net earnings of the
branch lines for 1898 only lack SIS .079
of paying the whole interest charge on
the bonds. The gross earnings last year
were $a,75s, ASP, and the net earnings

A Woman Deserter Asks A Pension. sh IaAIan fo thn phi1niIol lia Ioos-Is

Washington Letter to the Philadelphia Record.J
 A singular story hangs from two bills of fsred in the House by Representative Clutch con, of Michigan. One provides for the re- moval of the charge of desertion from the record of Franklin Thompson, of such and such Michigan regiment, and the other grants pension to Sarah Emma E. Seelye, alias Franklin Thompson, of the same regi- ment. At the outbreak of the war Miss Seelye, as she saw regiment after regiment hurry ing southward, had a growing desire to go to the front herself. She wanted to go as a nurse, but, after thinking it over, came to the conclusion that 1t would be better to put on mans uniform and to go to the war as P private in a Detroit regiment. So she did
 She came with the regiment to Washington
 She went into camp with 1t. She went to Bull Run with 1t, carrying her musket and her accoutrements like 8 man. After the battle of BulI Run she found herself separat- ed from her regiment, between the Federal and the Confederate lines. Through the night she trudged toward Washington, where she arrived 24 hours behind her command
 Reunited to her fleeing friends, she went with them to Fredericksburg, and afterward through the Peninsular campaign. Every where she marched and fought and lived like man. It began to tell upon her health, however, so she had herself transferred to one of the western armies, Here, after @ time, she became mai-carrier, first for the regiment, then for the brigade, and then for the division. While performing these duties she fell ill, and was ordered to the hospital
 There she felt sure her sex would be discov. cred. Accordingly, she determined not to go to the hospital. The only way out was to desert; so she deserted. Afterward in her own clothes and under her own name, she returned to the army as a nurse, and cared for her late comrades to the end of the war
 Now she is married, and lives in Iowa. Of course, the charge of desertien stiii stands against her. She wants it removed, and then which she says she acquired in the army.

the impression made by these entries will not be good. Most unfortunate of all the omissions, however, is the almost entire Ab- sence of any reference to the interest which
 her Majesty is known by all to take in the ameliorstion of the condition of the poor.
 of the poorest crofters live in wretched ken nels, hardly fit for cattle, her Majesty care- fully refrains from allowing single outburst of shame and indignation at the misery and degradation which such lodging involves to appear in her published diary. This might not have attracted so much attention if it had not been that her Majesty has printed two passages in which she does make some reference to the very wretehed little huts in which she found her subjects living. But in these instances, although declaring that she can hardly believe that the cottages were meant for human h6bitation, she seems to treat them rather from the artistic point of view, as blots on the landscape, than as plague-spots calling aloud for the attention of the social reformer. Of course the Queen must have felt strong desire to see the con- dition of these people improved. Unfortu- nately the entries expressing that anxiety are omitted from the published diary, al- though to have made room for them we could well have spared some pages of the royal itinerary, or even the description of the upholstery of the bedrooms in Dunrobin Castle. On the whole, therefore, although it shows a gracious disposition on the part of her Majesty to take her people into her confidence so far, we are inclined to believe that, unless she could have taken them still further, it would have been more iudicious not to have published diary from which all the most important entries had to be left
