This may ieem a practical and equitable
plan to some, but we question whether
the rental Of government lands and the
fencing Of tho same under the authority
of a lease, Is the proper solution of the
csttle-king monopoly of the public do
msln. 1t would hardly be consistent
with the recent action In prohibiting
fences on the public domain. Bat we do
think that the settler Ia the grazing
region should be allowed to acquire the
absolute ownership Of much more gov.
eminent land by presumption or some
similar Law than he Is now permitted to
secure In IA agricultural section. Being
the owner OF the land he could then fence
1t, or do what he pleased with 1t.
If the settlers were offered some such In
ducement, the vast region Instead OF
forever remaining thinly populated
would soon become comparatively we'll
peopled end dotted with the homes of
prosperous herdsmen. 1t Is to be hoped
that this great question will receive the
attention It deserves at the hands of the
national legislature, and that somo prac.
tlcsl solution Will bs worked out 80 that
the small cattle-rsiser will be given a
chance to derive some of the beneti t,
the public domain.

JEFF DAVIS. In denying the story Of

says, incidentally, that he was not dis

we believe, that jeff Davis has ever made

lars, the official report regardirg the cap
turo of jeff Davls, 1t must be admitted,

ment took the confederate president
