WHAT blessed consummation it would
be If strikers knew when not to strike!

UNDER Republican administration il has
been customary for corporations to run the
general land Office as they pleased, and COM
missioners were wont to wink at them when
they overrode plain law that was i'm the
way of their desires. In the past they have
been allowed in addition to the broad belts of
land set aside for their use under the grant
ing acts, additional belts on each side because
the corporations would in course of time
select from them sections to replace other
sections within the limits of the grant which
they could not have because settlers had
taken legal possession of them. 1t was mani
testify unfair to the bona fide settler to with
draw these lands from settlement and have
him await the convenience of the corpora
tions. Land Commissioner Sparks has
decided that a withdrawal of land within
indemnity limits is effective only as infor-
nation in defining the limits within which
selections may be made at a proper time, and
does not prevent the settler from taking
homestead according to law before the cor
poration has made its lawful selection. 1t
remained for a Democratic administration to
check corporation aggression that waxed fat
under Republican rule.

LANCASTER. JULY lG, 1885.
The Burial Of Indigent Soldiers.

Ine burial Of Indtgent Soldiers.
The INDECENT soldier burial bill that became /
a law on May II, 1855, provides for the ex- |
penditure by the county of an amount not |
exceeding s35 for burying the body of
every honorably discharged INDECENT
soldier or sailor who served his country,
and s15 for a tombstone. The county
commissioners under the act are required
TO appoint a sufficient number of suitable
persons in each borough, township and
ward in their respective counties, who
shall satisfy themselves by examinations of
the circumstances of the case that the de-
ceased soldier or sailor, whose body they
are called upon to bury, served in the army
navy and was honorably discharged
therefrom that he died leaving insufficient
means to defray the burial expenses and
the conclusion of the appointees must be
verified by the affidavit of three neighbors
So far as Lancaster county is concerned,
many Of these appointees have already
been chosen by the commissioners, each
ward in the city being allowed two CON-
mitteemen, and the allotment to the town.
ships of the county being made according
to their population.
This journal has always been opposed to
the false sentiment at the foundation of this
law, believing that it would open the door
to numerous abuses, and that it was an
unnecessary stigma on the soldier element
who, satisfied when the Union was restored,
converted their swords into ploughshares
and thought not of largess from the gov.
ernment.

diligently, and SO it becomes necessary tc
examine the act as part of the statute law
of the state. Manifestly the act is to bt

vides that the widow and children of any

1t will be found that the state will b

the law will be subject, will be found addi

Now let us see what the Salisbury minis
try Will do with Russia.

DANCING is one of the graceful pastimes
which from time whereofthe memory of man
runneth not to the contrary has been in use
as physical expression of delight But
there are many people on this mundane o
sphere who cannot see it in that light Sam
Jones, for instance, intimated in recent ad-
dress that this form of amusement might be
all very well in sheol, but was not proper
for anyone who made any pretensions to
being Christian. Georgia man goes fur
ther than Rev. Jones. MOI long ago he
tried to cut the cords in the feet of his daugh-
ter 80 that she could not imperil her soul by
dancing. The terpsichorean art however,
seems to thrive on persecution. 1t is most
charming recreation and healthful when not
carried to an extreme. 1t has lived down
the assaults of many enemies, and ii shows
no signs of failing strength at the present
day.

Chairman Hensel, of the Democratic state
committee, through his Lancaster INTELLI-
dENcER, clearly indicates that he proposes
to push things " III the ensuing campaign,
and he already foreshadows that he will make
the war against Col. Quay one of unusual
bitterness and vilely personal. Mr.. Hensel
clearly proclaims that all the old personal
scandals against Quay will be warmed over
and flung In the faces of the people. -,Scrdn-
ton Republican.
If the Scranton Republican belonged to
self-respecting journalism, which probably
is impossible under its present direction, it
would hardly have invented the tale it
prints; or, having given currency to it, it
would make an early opportunity to correct
its mistake or retract its fabrication.
Neither Chairman Hensel nor the In
TELLIGENCER has foreshadowed any such
thing as is here alleged, nor has any such
purpose been proclaimed. On the contrary
this journal has deprecated, as it has always
deprecated, the dissemination of personal
scandals" as elements of political can
vass; and with regard to the special candi-
dacy of Mr.. Quay it has explicitly said that
into his public record and not his private
life is what we expect searching inquiry"
will be made.
1t tsuits the Republican and some other
friends of the candidate to misconstrue
this purpose and to shift the issue. They
know that while personal attacks on the
candidate evoke degree of popular SYM
pathy for him, the exposure of his public
relations and official record are legitimate
subjects for discussion. 1t pleases them
to try and confOund these two things.
They will not succeed in fooling the voters.
