A Memorial Day Tribute.

Thrice beautiful and sacred
Be this Memorial Day,
When the warriors true, who wore the blue,
Are all of them wearing the gray.
Wearing the gray In their whitened locks,
AS with steady, martial tired
They follow the ranks on mystic banks,
And go marching down to the dead.
Scatter the floral tributes
Over the thickening graves,
On the sun ssed air, unstained and fair,
Our splendid banner waves.
Freedom grows well in our country's SOIL
Behold how it blooms and thrves;
But we must not forget that its roots were wet
With the blood of million lives.
Ella Wheeler Wilcox.

That "confldential' Communication.

Washington Special.
Postmaster general Villas has not yet found
the man who gave away his confidential
communication to the congressman. He has
been looking into the record of number to
whom the document was sent, bat without suc-
cess. When the letter appeared in print he said
in explanation, that it was intended only for
Democratic congressman In Ohio, to encourage
them and their constituents in working to carry
the State election next fall. But it has been
learned that he had sent the same letter to each
of the Indiana representatives two weeks before
the Ohio patriots saw it. Mr.. Villas has the
floor again to explain.

IN SUMMER TIME.

Little young Timothy, how he grew,
Timothy grass of the meadow;
He grew in the rain and he grew in the
wind,
In the sunshine and in the shadow,
AT last he was up so very high,
So sturdy and tall and stately,
He looked all over the big bright world,
And found himself pleased with it greatly
And looking one day, one sweet June day,
So dreamy, and soft and hazy,
He spied what it so dear and bright,
A dear little happy young daisy
How fair she was-fairer than moon or
cloud
How gentle her face aud cheeryl
He gazed at her fondly all day long,
And never once grew weary.
And when all the tired little meadow flow
And the birds and the bees were sleeping,
And only the owl in the far off wood
His night-watch lonely was keeping,
So bright she shone through the dim, still
night,
In the eyes of her longing lover,
She seemed to be one of the cleaning stars,
Dropped down from the sky above her.
SO Timothy wooed her his very best,
Till her heart with true love was filling;
And at last with sly little futter and
shake,
She answered him back II am willing -
So a wedding gay, one sweet, bright day,
Set all the lily bells ringing;
I The breezes came floating from over the
hill,
The breath of the clover bringing.
And the larks and the bobolinks came their
joy
| In widest song expressing;
/ And the buttercups gave their rarest
/ gold,
And the grasses waved their blessing.
And happily glided their days away
In the wonderful midsummer glory,
/ Till the scythe of the thoughtless mower
/ came,
To end their lives-and my story,
st Nicholas.

WESTERN LAND OFFICES.

A Washington telegram says that Land
Commissioner Sparks. upon being ques-
toned about consolidating the surveyor
generalships of Minnesota and Dakota,
said:
Il don't know that it viii be done right
away, but do know that it ought to be
done, 1t is a good idea"
SIS the work in the two districts enough
alike to be assimilated. The Minnesota
surveyor general deals with swamp and
timber land. The Dakota surveyor general
deals with prairies."
Yes" said Mr.. Sparks, there is an OBJ
lection, but | don't see why the little there
is to be done in Minnesota could not be
done by the surveyor general in Dakota.
That would be the way | would want to see
the consolidation made. Our present sur
veyor general in Dakota is doing excellent
work | should want to see him put in
charge Of both the territory and the state. ="
s'Who will consolidate the two districts:'
THE president, upon my recommended
ton. | am in favor of it. Kansas, Ne
braska and Iowa are thus consolidated,
and we rather think Wyoming ought to be
added to it,
There is also understood to be under con
sideration a sheme to consolidate land
offices in some Western states. The first
state to undergo a redistricting is Wiscon-
sin. and Nebraska will follow. The number
of Dakota land offices cannot we'll be re-
duced. Every land office in the territory
is maximum office except one, and that
office comes within three cents of it.
Watertown, Fargo, Yankton, Bismarck,
Deadwood. Grand Forks, Aberdeen, Huron
and Devils Lake all receive fees enough to
bring up the salary of register and receiver
ship to $1,000 for each. The salary at
Mitchell is S2,99991 to each official. The
Minnesota salaries are as follows:

The Nebraska offices are all maximum,
except Beatrice which pays S1.2S3, and
Lincoln, which pays Sl,201 The offices at
Niobrara Grand Island, North Platte,
Bloomington, Valentine and McCooll all
pay $1,000 The Montana Offices are all
maximum but that at Bozeman, which pays
sails Helena and Miles City do a much
larger business. In all these offices quite a
little is made in fees that are not required
to be reported. Fees from 81 to 81 are
charged for dia rams showing unoccupied
lands in the district: Is cents per 100
words is charged for copies of testi-
mony. and a fee of 81 is required in con
tests for the notes of the final cancellation.
In some Dakota offices these fees have
amounted to as much in some cases as the
regular salaries.
