Our fellow-townsman, j. Nj.

Tuesday night, from prospecting
tour of about two weeks over the
Northern parishes. Mat informs
us that he has been commissioned
as their agent, by the Clingman
Nursery in Claiborne parish. His
field covers several parishes inclu-
ding VIM. All in want OF fruit
trees etc., should patronize this
home establishment, whose produc-
tons are acclimated. Our farm
ers should enlarge and improve
their orchards. Plant pecan and
chestnut trees, and in a few years
they will yield a handsome revenue.

To Settlers on Railroad Lands.

Many letters have. been written
me concerning what are known as
Railroad lands in Northwestern
Louisiana, and relative to the sta
tus and rights Of those who have
settled thereon. The situation is
as follows:
First-Thc agreement signed by
the New Orleans Pacific Railroad
Company recognizes and protects
the rights of settlers on the grant
claimed by that Company. Those
lands lie mainly on the west side
of Red river between Shreveport
and New Orleans. Patents have
not vet been issued to the Railroad
Company, and until they do issue,
the Company will not be in a po-
sition to carry out the terms of the
agreement.
Second-The Vicksburg, Shreve-
port and Pacific Railroad Compa-
ny is the claimant Of lands between
Vicksburg and the Texas line west
of Shreveport. A part of these
lands were earned by that Compa-
ny within the time fixed in the
granting of the act, by the con-
struction of its road from Vicks-
burg to Monroe, and from Shrevc-
port to the Texas line. Ry reason
Of the recent construction Of the
line between Monroe and Shrcve-
port the Company claim the re-
mainder of the lands included in
the grant. These lie between
Shreveport and Monroe. Patents
for the same have not issued and
the matter is pending before Con-
gress. This Company have not
yet made any arrangements for the
recognition and protection of the
rights of settlers though called on
by me to do so. Some months ago
in the interest of settlers, | fled
with the Secretary Of the Interior.
a protest against the recognition of
the claims of the Company. This
protest is still pending.
Third-Neither Of the Railroad
Companies named above have any
right to exact rent from settlers or
occupiers of the land, unless they
can show patents from the govern
ment for the land SO occupied or
settled upon. Until a patent or a
formal certificate of membership
issues, there is no severance of the
land from the public domain.
Whenever, therefore, an agent of
Railroad calls upon settler or
occupicr to pay rent or execute a
lease, ask him to exhibit patent
from the government for the land,
and If he cannot do so, do not rec
ognize the claim of the Company.
Whenever patents issue the lands
win go upon the tax rolls of the
State and Parishes, and until the
Railroads are in a position to be
forced to pay taxes, they are not
in position to force others to pay
rent.

THE FINANCIAL DIFFICULTY.
An Address of the National Party to the
Public.

WASHINGToN. March 6.-E. II. Gillette
and B. w. ,Sllinde, signing themselves
as "chairman and secretary respective
~, of the National committee of the Ma
tional party, have issued Il long address
to the public, which explains its neces-
sity i'm the opening allegations as follows
The National committee of the National
party deem it their solemn duty ut the
present junCturc to call attention tc The
condition OF public affairs. which in their
judgment greatly imperilS the safety of
the whole people. During the past T.
years the country has been ravaced by
two great financial pHnics. The first cN-
tended over IL period of six Years and the
present one has now existed for two years
and threatens to extend Indefinitely.
'lWcnty-1Our years of Republican eu-
premaCy has reduced Il lult5e portion of
the people of the United States to a cond-
ton OF helpless poverty, thrown a still
larger portion hOpplcssly into debt, Wrung
hundreds of millions of money from the
people, locked it up and forced them to
pay interest on an equal amount Of public
been paid. The public domain has
been squandered, the control of inter
state commerce surrendered to monster
monOpolies, bank spectators have been
clothed with the sovereign authority of
issuing money and controlling its volume
| The remedy for these alleged evils the
address asserts, will he found in the i'm
mediate paying out of the surplus treas
ury the free coinage of silver confiscat-
ing of the railroad land grants, a postal
telegraph and government control of the
railroads and Interstate commerce and
additional issue of legal tenders. The aid
dress concludes by demanding the i'm
mediate withdrawal of the United States
army from Oklahoma, unless it can be
used toprotect law abiding settlers, and
calls upon the people to help them elect Il
Congress that will restore at once all for
feited land grants to the public domain.
