The country would like To know
how the Northern bloody-shirt waivers
feel over the treatment of the Liberty
Bell AT New Orleans. The venerable
relic is covered almost every day with
fresh garlands of flowers, and is re-
ceiving more attention than il ever
received in Philadelphia. This is the
meanest thing the South has ever
done to the North. To be consistent
with the record, As understood by the
North, the hot-headed Southerners
should have formed IA procession daily
and filed by the bell, splitting on it
for the better expression of their con-
tempt for loyal emblems. - Ouemsboro

The fight for the Commissioner
ship of Internal Revenue is bitter
between the Protection and Low Tariff
factions of the Democratic party.
Carlisle, Beck and Others want
Thompson appointed, and Randall
and gang want pr0tectionist. Ii i.
said that Randall is scheming TO gel
in man that is opposed TO the taxa
ton of whisky and tobacco. so that
possibly the protective tariff duties
may be increased. Cleveland seems
to be a low tariff man, and will proba-
bly, not favor Mr.. Randall. Man
ming strongly objects to Thompson
being chosen, because he believes he
Is not the right man for the place.
The Cabinet, it is said, have no per-
sonal objections to Mr.. Thompson.
Really, We believe they have: and
why notr Mr.. Thompson's private
record will not bear close scrutiny
nor moral sanction; he NAV be clever
and personally agreeable, but he has
violated the most important law of
society.

"MEMoRABILIA's" sentence. "In
magnificent city with streets paved
and polished in the most approved
modern style, where cattle crowd a
thousand hills" manifestly contains
a irst-water inconsistency. Cattle
do not make it a regular business to
crowd hills in a magnificent city !;
nor are magnificent cities in the habit
of possessing a 200 hills. Perhaps
he meant a thousand stills: :" or.
Where swill crowds a thousand cat
tie, would be better.

When we desire to be informed, It's
good To contest with men above our
selves; but, to confirm and establish

our own.-.Sir Thomas Bro,ri,e.

Law is like fire; since those who
NEEDLE with it may chance to burn
their fingers. 1t is like pocket with

considerably reduced before YOU get

Title, to Land IN til. uortnw..t.

Specih to tn, Bo,sol Hs.rld;
Last October Secretary Teller decided that q
great number Of cash entries Of public lands
IN Michigan, Minnesota, Wisconsin and othor
Western states and territories were void.
These entries were made upon lands with
drawn from the public domain as railroad
land, and subsequently restored. Secretary
Teller hold that as tho lands thus restored,
were never offered for sale at public auction,
they cannot be entered by settlers under the
law until they have beon 30 offered. The
decision created q great deal of consterna.
ton among cash entry mon. and it is said
that thousands of acres of their lands haye
been squatted upon by homesteaders. Fol
several days a delegation representing tho
cash entries i'll the northern peninsula of Mich.
igan have been here to consult with members
and senators as to tho best method of legalizinG
the sales. AS a result Senator Palmer
introduced a bill in the senate to confirm the
titles of all who purchased in good faith. Tho
Michigan delegation in the house will hold a
meeting to devise ways and means for passing
favorable legislation through that end of the
capitol. 1t Is expected that other states will be
represented here.

Wood Instead of Water.

VIC Clduu I1GIdlU.
Various attempts have been made
from time to time to obtain supplies of
pure water by means of artesian wells on
the arid plains of the west. In some
cases success has followed experiments,
while in others no water fit for use has
been found. Such a we'll is now I'M
der the drill at White Plains, Nevada,
on what is called the forty-mile desert,
in the neighborhood of the sink of the
Humboldt. The only supply of wat
er obtainable is from the Truckee
River, thirty-fve miles distant whence
it is hauled in tank-cars for en-
gine and household purposes. The
we'll o drilling has reached a depth
of 2,100 feet, and no water has been
found other than a stream of salt water
at the depth of IS feet and hot water at
the depth of 6S5 feet. A strange find
was that of a stratum of wood at the
the depth of 1,615 feet, which was nine
feet i'll thickness. II is doubtful if such
a quantity of wood has ever before
been found at such a depth. How it
came there under great masses of vari.
GUS kinds of stone. and gravel, may be
explained by biologists. Assome parts
of the superintendent mass showed in
disputabl evidences Of volcanic action,
the presence of the wood may be &C.
counted for as the result of some great
convulsion of nature.

could be raised all the cotton, say
1000, 600 bales, that is ut present grown
in the world. Cant believe it." you
say? Well, take q pencil aud the back
Of an envelope, and you con easily figure
out that I am telling the truth.
Here are some more figures. There
are raised IN the whole United States,
in round numbers, about 5000, 900 bales
cotton; 800, DOC, 900 bushels wheat:
1000, 000, 900 bushels corn; 500, OOO, OOC
bushels oats; $50, 600, 600 bushels pota.

900 tons hay.
There is, within the boundary of Texas
enough land on which to raise all the
cotton, wheat, corn, oats, potatoes,
barley and hay now raised in the United
States; and then there would be enough
land left over to make seven states, each
as large as Connecticut.
II Texas was populated in the same
ratio as the countries above mentioned,
it would have SIS, 200, 900 inhabitants, and
and no one who knows Texas would
question the fact that it could support
