will not object to publishing the truth as II
is.) You may keep temperance out Of poll
tics in measure, but YOU never will keep
rum out Of it. II is factor in our politics
that rules more votes to-day than the most
sainted politician. Wendell Phillips once
declared "that you cannot build free Re-
public on a drunken people" An intoxi-
Gated person ought TO have no more right
TO cast his ballot than an idiot. There
seems to be a hush all along the temperance
line, dearth Of real vital temperance senti-
ment and activity. And It really seems that
the anlmus Of the prohibition movement, as
conducted by politicians, is fealty to party
rather than fealty to the temperance cause,
and the object 10 save the party from the
future turmoil and agitation of the temper

The Signal In Just nov in receipt Of
numerous inquiries - to how they will
b able 10 secure title 70 railroad land
upon which they have placed valuable
impe0vements, in oase the land 10 taken
from the company and restored to the
public domain. Fortunately this con-
tingeney 10 ampl, provided for. In the
6rst place, those Who have placed i'm
provements upon railroad land and Who
hare not exhausted their homestead,
pee-emplion and timber culture rights
may take the land under ono q tho
other of these aota. In case, however.
. settler 10 unable to acquire the land
he has improved in any other way he
may enter the land under the following
law, which vas enacted BY Congress
January "a, 1851:
That Ill persons Who shall have set-
tied and made valuahle and permanent
improved upon any odd numbered $50
ti0n Of land within any railroad with
draval in Rosd faith. and With the per-
mission or license Of the railroad COM
pany for whose benefit the same shall
have been made, and with the excecta-
tioo Of purchAsinQ from 0uoa company
The land % seetled upon, which land %
ssttlsd upoo and impcoved. may, for
any cause, Be restored 10 the public do
main, amd Vim. q, ~ tioe q sooh ~
sossa1i0ns nay ~ be untitled = eaeee
and acquire title 10 such land under tho
peeempsion, homestead, or timber oul-
Sure cot Of the United States, shall b
permitted. at any time within three
months after such restoration, and un-
dor suoh rules and regulations ~ the
Oommissioner of the General Land
Ofios may prescribe TO purchase. mot to
exceed l60 acres in sxtent OF tho same
BY legal subdivisions, at the price Of
$3.50 psr acre. and to receive patents
therefor"
In addition to the foregoing there is
another provision Of Law which provides
that in all cases where parties have paid
the double minimum price for their
land ($2.5O an acre) and where the
grant 10 restored 20 the pablo domain.
the excess thus paid shall be refunded
to the settler. In other words, whore
parties have pre-empted land and paid
600 for l6O acres. they vill be entitled
to drawback of 600. In case where
. pre- -emptoe has paid $500 for 10 acres
or 500 for - acres, half the amount
will be refunded. The Same rule will
appjy 70 committed h0mesteads, al
thooRh not to Purchases under the stone
and timber land act, which likes the
price at t2.6O an acre regardless OF
whether located within railroad grant
or not.
All things considered. the forfeiture
would represent quite . wind-fall 70 set-
tlers, como OF whom would have been
made 70 pay double price for their lands
within railroad limits and Who will, un-
der the peovis,0ns Of the Law above
quoted, b permitted 10 purchase for
$2.50 an aore land which they would not
b likely 10 obtain from the company
without paying . muoh higher price.
