school year, was awarded to the new
firm OF Boughman & Co. booksellers, sta

Brmist,set's Washington correspond
ent writes that journal as follows:
The most active House committee
still il the Committee on Public Lands
which Is engaged in All indiscriminate
warfare upon the land grant railroads.
Its latest proposition is that the entire
grant of the Northern Pacific road shall
be forfeited, for the reason that the
road was not completed at the time
fixed by the last enabling act-July 4.
1879. II is said to be the purpose of
the Public Lands Committee to attempt
To pass this bill through the House. un-
der suspension of rules. with no more
debate than the thirty minutes allowed
under such circumstances. and, in view
of the fact that the bill to forfeit the
Texas Pacific grant passed the House
under like circumstances by very inch
more than tae necessary two thirds. the
managers of the North rn Pacific are
much concerned Some Of their lead
ing officials are spending much time IN
Washington, endesvorlnp to convince
Congress of the injustice of the conduct
Of the Public L,nds Committee. They
make the general arguuaeut that the
spirit of the original act of Congress
has bsen complied with. in that the
road has been completed. and that to
declare the land forfeited would be To
coHfiscate private property, in view of
the fact that the road WIS really built
from proceeds of bonds which were
based upon the grant. Lately the com
pany has been insisting strongly upon
the doctrine Of waiver. and has made
one point which has not generally been
olled to attention. 1t is that, mas
much "a the government has been sell
ing lands on the alternate sections with
in the grant at g.. 30 an acre instead of
1.25 an acre, it ~ concession by the
government that the land is within
granted limits. The Northern Pacific
adheres 10 its doctrine of grant ia
presenfi. The friends Of the road hope
1T least to prevent adverse legislation
in the Senate. but are not fully sure Of
their ability To defeat the passage of
the bill in the House.

the cost of production is lowered in
Michigan. The avowed object of the
free traders is to admit Canada lumber
in order TO protect American forests,
and they know pretty we'll that the
stimulation of production of the Canada
product, coming In coufict with the
home product. must inevitably reduce
our manufacture to that extent.
