Especial Telegram to the Globe |

WASHINGTON, March Representative
Deuster, of Wisconsin, said to-day that he
was not in favor of holding Democratic
caucus. He thought the Morrison bill ought
to be passed with some amendments, but
members should be left free to vote as they
pleased. He is in favor of a tariff for
revenue with incidental protection,
but not creating monopolies.
In other works he agreed with
the Ohio platform. A Kentuckian said to-
day: 'Yes, sir: we are going to have full
fedged free trade caucus, not mere confer

PUBLIC LANDS FENCED.

PUBLIC LANDS FENCED.
In his report to the commissioner of the
general land office, George w. Fairchild,
deputy United States surveyor, Nebraska,
says all the agricultural land in that section
has been fenced in by the cattle men. Their
ranges extend for hundreds of miles, and
wire fences are enclosing all desirable public
lands, and even water courses are posted at
intervals, with notices threatening death to
any person opening them. Herders assert
that they hold these lands under the desert
land and timber culture laws, which result in
a complete check to persons seeking to make
homestead settlements.
PENSION APPROPRIATION.
The house committee of appropriations
completed the consideration of the appropri-
alton bill. The measure appropriates $780,,
6S4, 400, and provided that any balance of

timaled at S66, 900, 900. The appropriations

patronage Of their friends Of your county. /
think 1t only fair that the people of St. Ma
ry's should, so far as lay in their power, give
this much assistance to their own people.
They are in need of work to support their
families, and without the assistance Of their
farmer friends will not be able to retain their
places in No. 2. Warehouse. Aside from all
this, No. has St. hary's most efficient In
spectcr, Mr.. .J.T. N. Ralcy, as its represen-
tative man. All your people know him and
his reputation as model Inspector is not con-
6ned to Maryland, but reaches across the

Inspector in fact, but assuming none Of the
active duties Of the Warehouse, which can be
better done by Mr.. Raley. Mr.. Kroh, il not
as wen versed in the leafy discrimination, is
equally as good smoker, as he is seldom seen
without cigar. In conclusion, we ask the

We can well afford to overlook the insult
implied in the charge of the Enterprise that
there is "slill another power behind the
throne, in the person of some man of legal
ability, who furnished points for our article
on the local printing law. For, even If the
charge were not ialse il 1t be no disgrace for
our neighbors to appropriate BEACON items
without credit, there could certainly be none
in our receiving points from lawyer friends.
In making such a charge they have paid us a
high compliment, In our little article on the
comfy printing we made no personal refer
ence. There was nothing in it TO call forth
personalities. We only exercised our right
as editors to state our opinion on matter Of
pnblic interest. 1t will do us no harm for the
Enterprise to make personal attacks upon US.
II is well known that Islander, when there Is
no truth in 1t, Ikea splash of mud, will come
| off when dry" and our only reason for no,i-
cling their article is to correct fahrica,ions and
substitute in their stead truths. II is well

faults Of another. We have no right 10 con-
| demn our neighhors for the faults of Arnold
or Baba Abdallah. We presume that the ed
itors of the Enterprise recognize this truth,
and when they attack the BEAcoS they find
fault with IL as ii IA, not as II ,cds If they
grant this, they must confess that they have
either displayed culpable ignorance o. have
willfully misrepresented facts.
As to their charges BY county printing,
we take it, they do not include the publca.
tion of the local laws Il this DO so, then un.
der Its present management the BEACON never
received rs much as $500 for county printing
and the editors of the Enterprise know II
never did. Ifin county printing they do in.
clude local laws, then rs a matter of record
they have received more for the printing
than we ever have.
Under its present management the Beacon
has never received single cent for publish
ing State laws and our neighbors are wei
aware Of this fact.
If the Enterprise means 10 attack a forme
management and an older man, they shoulC
come out boldly and say SO. His actions viii

We are able to do the county printing fol
