STATE LAND MATTERS.
Some Useful Informal lon Concerning
Them.


For the benefit of actual settlers, the follow
ing statements are given in order TO show the
propriety of purchasing land of the State Land
Office in preference to the U. s. Land Office;
The land law passed last session Of the
Legislature granted very easy terms for the
purchase and consequently great deal ofland
is being disposed of by the State. thereby
swelling the school fund to an appreciable
degree. Under the existing laws any citizen
of the United States, resident or non resident.
can purchase 60 acres of land in any portion
of the State that has not been entered in the
United States Land Office under the Hon.
stead, rre-emption. Desert Land. Timber
Culture. or any of the United States Land
Acts allowing entries on lapd; that is, any
land that il uon-mineral or unappropriated
under any of these entries, can be purchased
of the State at the low pr &C of 81 Is per acre.
The applicant pays y cents an acre at the time
of application then alter time, which is very
uncertain. the privilege Of making contract Il
given The contract agrees TO give patent
to the. applicant when the remaining sum of
one dollar per acre is paid. this one dollar per
acre must be paid any tine within twenty five
(25) years and draws interest al SIX per cent.
per annum, and the interest must be paid an
nually. No portion of the one dollar per acre
is received as part payment the which. or none
must be paid when due or when the applicant
desires to pay. The time for making contract
Is uncertain after application is made, because
the land must be asked of the United States
Government and no contract can be made until
six months after the land Is decided to the
State. 1t Is therefore the duty Of the Land
Office to notify applicants when contract can
be made and this is being done constantly.
When the notice is sent the privilege is given
to either make contract or to pay in full and
receive patent. Ii often takes two years after
an application is made before a contract can
be issued; during this time the claim of the
applicant is not impaired and no interest is
required The first applicant is not always the
one who is allowed to purchase, for the prefer
ence lie always given an actual settler A bona
fide settler has ample time to obtain his land
after some grasping individual has applied for
II. The United States law gives a settler only
90 days after the plats of survey have been filed
In the United States Land Office to make his
entry; after that time his land lie subject to
entry by any citizen of the United States.
The State law gives more time for IL allows
settler six months after the land has been
decided TO the State by the United States, and
this deed is not made for at least year after
the land has been applied for. Thus 1t will be
seen that the opportunity for getting land is
much better and surer in the State Land Once
than in the United States Land once.

But there Is u man who plants bis feet
Sometimes In advance Of FATE.
-lsacrotes
The whirling of time is bringing
some queer revolutions in public
opinion. When Trevelyan accused
Parnell on Monday of having said
tina. he would not rest until the last
link that connected England and Ire
land was broken" Parnell promptly
denounced rhe calumny," and being
furnished the time aud place when the
alleged calumny was spoken, had no
difficulty in disproving it to the perfect
satisfaction of his English assailant.
Time was when Mr.. Parnell would not
have considered it so very injurious to
be accused of wanting to severe the
link between England and ireland.
Time was, too, that if an American
fishing vessel had been seized in
Canadian waters every Irish paper in
this country weuld have been clamor-
Gus for war with England, aud the
hand of the Secretary of State would
have been forced by Irish meetings
accusing him of poltroonery. Now,
not an Irishman in the United States
stirs. They are unwilling to embarrass
Mr.. Gladstone by encouraging fire in
his rear. All this leads the ). F.
Chronicle to saw in an able editorial !:
We have heard good deal about
the unfitness of the Irish for self gov
eminent, but the occurrences OF the
past month or two seem to show that
they can govern themselves pretty well
when they want TO. History may be
searched in vain for another example
of such self-control as the Irish people
are practicing at the present moment.
They know that every demonstration
which they might make would add to
the difficulty in the path of Gladstone.
and they do not even hold meeting
or let their newspaper publish line
that is calculated to infiame the situa-
ton. A less impulsive people than
the Celts might we'll break out into
fury at the unprincipled coalition be-
tween Troy and Radical to deny self
government to Ireland but these Cells,
who are said tn be the type of all that
is impulsive and ungovernable, put an
iron seal upon their mouths least they
should say word that could endanger
the object of their hearts. Parnell
seems to have stamped his own stoical
calmness upon the whole Irish people.
9 A few days. perhaps few hours.
will bring US to the end of the first act
in the drama. 1t really matters little
how the act ends. The battle is won.
Home rule is fixed fact. Whether
Gladstone carries il out or it is left to
his successor, is of no material conse-
quence. The point of real Importance
is that after struggle of 700 years the
Irish are now about to win the right
of governing themselves, and that the.
cause of the endless strife between
ELglishmen and Irishmen is about to
be removed.

Speaking of the recent organization
ofcapitalists and the Knights of Labor,
the Springfield Republican says
"When these two organizations can
meet on common ground of mutual
consideration and fair dealing we shall
get healthy state of industrial life. y
And there is nothing impossible in the
proposition. The success and prosper
ity Of both must in the end depend
upon justice and fsir dealing. and the
sooner they come to that understand
ing the better it will be for them and
the general community.

Something We Know !


We are painfully conscious of
how little we know outside of
the clothing business; but on that
and all it's requirements we claim
to be "up."
We know how dear to the fem
mime hearts, the practice ofshop-
ping, and how much ladies would
like to examine and price cloth
ing for little Charlie or Frank be-
fore deciding where to purchase,
yet they are often deferred from
entering q clothing house through
fear OF being importuned to buy
when they are not prepared.
Now all we require of our clerks
is that they should wait on
customers with the same cour-
tesy and attention, whistler
they como to look or buy; to
cheerfully furnish any desired in
formation; to pleasantly show
our goods and name our prices,
and above and beyond all, never
to urge people to buy against
their inclination or judgment.
Our instructions are faithfully
carried out by them, because, in
the first place, being gentlemen,
this manner Of doing business
exactly s,,''- zen vows and
~gain, they are not called upon
by us to please explain" when
ever they fail to sell a visitor. To
ladies who have boys to care for
we would say our spring stock
of Boys and Children's Clothing
is now complete, our styles are
varied, our variety is almosten
less, and our prices are really
low, to prove which we respect
fully invite you to honor us with
a visit Of inspection. We think
we can agreeably surprise you.
At all events we shall do our
best toward making your visit
a pleasant one.
