Important to Tree Culture Claimants.
Shakopee, Special, Aug 7-Hon. II.
B. Strait has received from L. Harrison,
acting commissioner OF the United States
land Office at Washington, the following
communication regarding extensions to
tree claimants:
1 am in receipt, by reference from you
OF letter from Mr.. @. B. Tyler, register
at Tracy, Mimi, dated July II, asking
that an extension of time be granted to
certain timber.culture claimants
because "of now enemy of tree culture
that has made its appearance in this To-
cality for the first time, and which Is
destroying young trees-particularly
cottonwood and ash-by the thousands"
In reply have to state that the amenda.
tory act OF June IA, 1878, provides for an
extension of time, when the "trees, seeds
or cuttings shall be destroyed BY grass.
hoppers or by extreme and unusual
drouth." This act repeals all acts
and parts of acts in conflict Herewith.
The act of May 20, 1876 provides
that where the seeds, nuts or cuttings
are properly and we'll planted, the ground
properly prepared and cultivated and
they fail to grow or shall be destroyed
Oy grassnOppefs or otner inevitable acc1-
dent, that the ground shall be replanted
or the vacancies filled within one year
from the first planting. It further pro.
vides "That parties claiming the benefit
of the provisions of this act shall prove,
by two good and credible witnesses, that
the ground was properly prepared and
planted IN such seeds, nuts or cuttings,
and were so destroyed by inevitable acci-
dent such year." This Office holds that
this portion Of the act of May Goth, 1878,
and is therefore still in force, and parties
desiring relief hereunder shall make ap-
plication to the proper local Office for an
extension of time as above provided.

Secretary Folger's visit to the SUBJ
treasury at New York last Saturday was
for the purpose of comforting with Assis-
tant Treasurer Acton in regard to the
reduction in the gold reserve, and the
prospect that in the near future the gov.
ernment may be obliged to give up gold
payments. To New York reporter the
secretary said that the gold reserve had
been reduced to $l1s,0O0,0O0, and that
when the amount fell to $l00,000,000 it
would be impossible to pay out any more
gold, and in view of the existing laws
the government would be obliged to fall
back on silver or silver certificates. II
have tried" he said, to keep the gold re-
serve up to $l40.OOO,0O0, which was the
legal requirement under the old law. but
the recent acts of congress have per-
mitted the depletion of the treasury re-
serve" The secretary said that the
banks would undoubtedly receive the
silver certificates.

A Startling Arraignment,

Less than month has passed since
this available nomination was made, and
how is it quoted now? Has availability
gone up or down in that time? What
has the democratic party gained by low.
eriug its standard OF public merit, and
by sacrificing its most splendid names
to promoted accident? 1t has gained,
or hopes 1t has, some small quantity OF
notes.-the votes Of republicans.
1t has gained also the enmity of great
numbers of laboring men who have
hitherto been willing to support it. 1t
is safe to estimate that for every disatis.
fed republican whom the dem-republi.
canism of the democratic candidate has
won over it has turned two democrats
away disgusted. This is the fruit of
putting up candidate whose course,
however sincere, may have been the mo.
tive that prompted it, has only secured
republican voters by alternating demo.
Gratis.
And now, to make the brilliant triumph
of availability still more resplendent
the democratic candidate must go
through the campaign with the burden
of an old scandal weighing him down
It is wretched business. Surely, il
mediocrity was to be honored and exalted
by the democrats, there was mediocrity
enough to be found against which, in
private life at least, no shameful accuse,
tion would be brought, and in whose
defense no painful confession would have
to be made. But to public abilities oil
the highest order, to private lives with
out blemish, the democrats preferred
availability. The result has been that
already there is doubt where there
should have been assured confidence
aud the fatal seeds of division apd
disaster may be already springing up il
fields where victory was looked for.

GRAMMAR IN POLITICS.

The New York Herald says: It has
been discovered that of all the distin-
guished pretenders in the Republican
party "Logan alone can dance upon the
grave of Lindley Murray" and that the
incapacity of this favorite son of Illinois
to speak the English language correctly
is his best and indeed his only claim to
be made Chief Magistrate of the nation.
If the theory that bad grammar and
honesty 60 together is sound, his claim
is evidently superior to that of any other
person yet heard from.

that with an enthusiastic party behind

dent, if he would only give the word !
But he remains as silent as the tomb.

ILlITERACY AND ITS REMEDY.

The Massachusetts, legislators are at
work on a law to eradicate illiteracy
from that State. She now has $1,000
persons we the age of IA who cannot
read and write. 1t is proposed to pre-
vent the employment of any one under
IA except in school vacations, and none
over IA resident one year where evening
schools are maintained, unless 'they can
read and write the English language cor.
rectly." If that becomes a law and is
rigidly enforced, the Bay State will have
but few employees in its borders. But If
the law simply requires the employee to
read and write intelligibly, it may be
executed and do the State and country
good service. If, however, the employee
is required by law 'to read and write
the English language correctly" there
will be infinite difficulty in enforcing it.

sing, aud they said the notes flowed from
them without the least exertion. Col.
Mapleson was delighted with his success

careful panning, can get a few dusty

color is a whole mint. If you can get WORK
