Important Land Office Decision,


Land Commissioner Sparks has rendered
a decision regarding the right of entry un
der the public land laws and decision of
the supreme court of the United States, of
lands heretofore withdrawn by the volun-
tary action of the general land office for
railroad indemnity purposes, where no re-
qnirement of law existed for making such
Withdrawals. The effect of this decision,
if sustained by the secretary of the inter
ior, will be to restore to entry under the
homestead and other laws many millions
of acres of public land which have been
kept out of the market for many years.
because claimed by railroad corporations.
In the course of his decision, which is
quite lengthy, the commissioner cites
from leading decisions of the supreme
court and concluded as follows: Follow
ing these decisions, by the authority of
which l am governed, must hold that a
withdrawal of land by the commissioner
of the general land Office, when the with
drawal from settlement, entry Or any other
appropriation are not required by law, is
efficient only as information in defining
the limits Within which indemnity selec-
tons may be made in a proper time and
manner, but is not operative as prohibi
ton of settlement and entries within such
limits under the public land act laws prior
to the time wher a lawful selection by the
railroad company has actually been made.
This decision was brought out by an in
quiry from the receiver of the land Office at
Walla Walla, W. I as to whether or not
the Northern Pacific railroad company is
entitled to the land regularly settled upon
by one Miller, but which was by change
in the line of the above mentioned road
brought within its indemnity limits.

The retiring English Premier, than
whom no man has during this century
occupied a larger share Of public at

the fourth son Of Sir John Gladstone,
Bart. merchant. Of Liverpool, and was
educated at Eton and atIChrist Church,
Oxford. He was graduated as double
frst.class man. In 1882 he was elected
n member of the House Of Commons
from Newark, as q Conservative, and
continued to represent that borough
until 1916. He was one of the
Junior Lords OF the Treasury,
1895; Under Secretary Of State for
the Colonies, January to April, 1885;
Vice President Of the Board Of Trade,
lS4l-'43; President of the Board Of

Minister. December 9, 1868. to Febru-
airy 81, 1874; member of Parliament
for Midlothian, 1880.
Mr.. Gladstone's second and last adj
ministration came into power April %.
1880, Disraeli having dissolved Par
lament thirty-four days previously,
after having been defeated in a measure
to supply the city Of London with
water. While this was the assumed
question on which the latter took an
appeal no the country, the real issue
was that of Tory " Jingoism y in the
foreign policy of England as opposed to
the more moderate course advocated
by the Liberals, and on it the Tories
were beaten III the election for a
new House Of Commons by a majority
of AGA 1893 in a total poll Of 1902, S4I.
After his retirement in 1874 Mr.. Glad
stone had relinquished the leadership
of the Liberal party to the Marquis of
Harrington. and it was the latter whom
the Queen sent for to form a new Min
istry, but public opinion pointed to Mr..
Gladstone as the only man fit to under

Lord DudIey's Generosity.

The late Lord Dudley. during the
terrible Crimean winter in 1876.
fitted out large yacht with cargo OF
comforts and necessaries for the wound
ed, and went out with her to the Black
sea. where his Opportune gifts were
most gratefully received, for they came
at the very worst Of distress. All
the game shot on Lord Dad
ley's estates during two seasons were
sent to the wounded and the con-
palescent who had returned from the
war. He was a muniticelt benelactor
during forty years to Worcester, Dud-
ley. and kidderminster. lie altogether
contributed upwards of 100000 to the
restoration Of Worcester Cathedral. in
Guiding the value Of his gifts, and he
rendered vital aid to the manufacturers
of Kidderminster during the crisis in
the fortunes of that town. During the
last year of Lord Beaconsfeld'S ad-
ministration Lord Dudley conceived an
enthusiastic admiration for Mr.. Glad
stone. whom he almost worshipped.

When it was renewed three months
sfterward this majority fell of to ~,
and on the same issue last February 1t
dwindled to Ia. On May III, 1850,
Lord George Hamilton moved to refuse
the credit Of s55.000.000 until the
House was informed of the purpose to
which the money was to be applied.
This was beaten by 900 to 2G0, aud
Mr.. Gladstone obtained his last parlia-
mentary victory in getting the money.
But the Tories raised the cry that
while he procured it by making the
House believe that he would make a
determined stand against Russia, and
needed the money for war preparations,
he had no sooner got it than he weaken
ed TO the point Of conceding all her de-
mands in Asia.
To raise these funds it was proposed
to increase the income tax and raise the
duty on spirits and beer. The scheme
was included in the budget for 1885,
which was defeated in the Commons on
Monday night by 264 to 252 through a
coalition between the Tories, Parnell-
ties. and dissatiied Liberals, the Par
nelltes so voting in revenge for the de-
termination Of the Cabinet to continue
the coercion act. And so the Glad
stone administration fell after a life OF
five years one month and nine days.
Mr.. Gladstone was married in 1889

Glynne, Bart, who is still living. Two
Of his sons sit in the House Of Com
mons, one is clergyman Of the Church
of England, and one daughter is mar

Thoroughly Disenchanfed.

Correspondence Buffalo Express
1t was a shock of expectant magma
ton that had a curative effect upon a
man who had for nearly twenty years
been an inmate Of the public insane
asylum. He was German, and in his
sane time had been an accomplished
musician. something Of a linguist,
and-more important to his wei
fare--a furious lover of RiStori,
the actress. who was then in
the prime of her years and art. He
saw her as Mary Stuart. and immedi-
ately went daft with infatuation. RiS-
tori returned to Italy, and he was sent
to the asylum. Of late years the one
mania of love for the mimic queen was
all that allied him. but it seemed trad
icabie. DR.. Macdonald, the superin-
tendent, is an eXperimenter. Seeing
that Ristori. on her recent farewell
tour. had sadly degenerated into a
weakish old woman, with none of her
personal beauty left, he decided to take
his patient to see her. The time chosen
was her final appearance at the ITALIA
Theatre. The maniac had begged to see
her act once more, and was overjOyed on
being told that he could go. DR.. Macdon-
aid accompanied him, and so did a
strong keeper, so that any possible yio-
lence might be quickly overcome. As
a further precaution against disturb
ance seats were bought in a private
box. The result was astonishingly sue
cessfui. There was enough Of the
former Ristori to convince the man
that she was the same individual, but
he was awakened from his sentimental
dream, so thoroughly disseminated,
that the cure was almost instantaneous.
He has since been discharged from the
asylum.

Grant ~ "a Trader.

Cincinnati Commcrcial-G Gazette.
In his book General Grant tells one
little incident in his own boyhood days
on the farm near st. Louis. He and his
father had gone into town, and some one
had offered to sell his father a pony.
The price asked was $25. The
elder Grant only wanted to pay $40.
The boy had set his heart on the pony,
however, and stood by his fathers side
tugging his coat and silently coaxing
him to make the purchase. The man
wouldn't change his figure, and Mr..
Grant turned away, his son following
in deep distress. Finally young
Grant bcsought his father to make
the purchase anyhow. Well said
the father, run back and offer
$50. and if he will not take that offer
him $3.50, and if he wont take that
offer him s25.' Il did So says the
General. Il told the man my father
said to offer him 500, and if he wouldn't
take that to offer him $3.50, and if he
wouldn't take that TO offer him s2j. -"
Then he adds: 1t would not take
a Connecticut man to guess what the
