The Land Forfeifnres.

Mr.. Payson, of Illinois, has Just
published a statement of the amount
of land the last two Congresses have
declared forfeited. The Forty eighth
Congress passed bills forfeiting the
following: Oregon Central, $4,000
acres; Texas Pacific, ll;5OO, 900. and
Iron Mountain, 100000, a total of
l7,6l0,000. -
This session of Congress has en-
acted lawsf forfeiting 23,971, 800 acres
of Atlantic and Pacific lands and l.
0O0,0 900 acres of lands granted to
various Southern railroads, a total
of 3O,S7l 800 acres.
Three forfeiture bills passed bv
the House have not yet been acted
on by the Senate. They are the Gulf
and Ship Island, G52.SOO, acres;
Northern Pacific. 3G,9O7,74l acres; ;
and the New Orleans Pacific. So.
400 acres.
Several other forfeiture bills. af
fecting total of 7,S67,0l4 acres,
have been reported favorably by the
House Committee and are still on
the calendar.
Thisis reversal of Republican
work. These millions of acres are a
small part of the vast domain that
has been squandered, but they are
worth saving. They will furnish
many an honest, industrious man a
home for himself and family. For
tunate is it that the work of undo
ing this Republican work has begun.
The Republican party did not, like
Mr.. Alexander the Great, weep ''for
other worlds to conquer" but wept
''for other lands to squander."-

came toLane County, l have thought

your readers faint idea of Lane
County and western Kansas.
/ have been located in Lane COun-
ty permanently, short time over
three months. The County one year
ago, contained but few inhabitants
compared with, at the present time.
The actual settlers have taken up
all of the Government land there
was in Lane County, and mostly
every quarter section has a sod
house on it, where one year ago
nothing could be seen, save the vast
domain" of prairie covered with a
thick coat of Buffalo grass. The
people that have come to settle up
this County are an intelligent class,
and law abiding people, that have
come from all Eastern States, and
are as sociable a class of people, l
ever saw in any country.
Lane County was organized on the
10th day of June 1856, having had
the required number of population
$500, and $l50,0O0 worth of taxa
BILE property, all this in one year.
Crops look well, but as nearly all
settlers came late last spring, there
was not great amount put out.
Next year, no doubt thribble the
amount of Acres will be under culti-

be made the nominee of their Con-
vention on the 18th of September.
That the office of Judge is non
political seemed to be the watch
word of the Republicans Yet they
are holding Republican Conven-
tion and nominating Republican
Judge, still politics should have
nothing to do with it. OF course it
would be entirely wrong now for the
Democrats to hold a Convention and
nominate any one, let him be ever SO
good a man. We should like to
know of Judicial District in the
State, having a Republican majority
and having a Democratic Judge.

HERE is the first plank in the
platform adopted by the Indiana
Democrats:
Resolred, That the Democracy OF
Indiana, in Convention assembled
cordially approve of the administra-
tion of President Cleveland for its
ability, integrity and economy in the
management of national affairs, and
recognize in the President and mem.
bers of his Cabinet, faithful and
patriotic servants.
The many other Democratic Con
ventions held during the last week
have all adopted similar planks hear
tily approving CLEvELAND's admins
tration. The administration is be.
coming more popular with the
people every day. CLEVELAND will
be the next President.

nicea subsoil. 'I'his magnicca sub

practical Farmers. to he a fertilizer
itself, so it will he impossible to wear
the land out by steady cultivation.
The country is. or most places roll
ing enough, to Grain without ever
need being ditched. and as far IS
the rainfall is concerned, we have
had more this season in Lane coun-
ty than in some of the Eastern
States, or even more than Eastern
Kansas, and if we will continue to
have an increase of rainfall in West
ern Kansas we never need no irriga-
ton in Lane County. Digbton is
the only town of any Importance in
Lane County. and was also elected
the County Scat for five years, as
: this town is located in the geograph-
ical center of the County, and sur
rounded by "A good agricultural
country, we predict bright future
for it.
Dighton is yet only one year old
town, and numbers 900 inhabitants.
The citizens are now at work to in
corporate it, and make it a city of
the third class. Her prospects for
railroad in the near future are good.
The Santa Fe road will come through
Lane County. as soon as they can
vote bonds, hut as our County was
just organized in June, and as the
county can not vote bonds under the
State laws of Kansas, until one year
after its organization, it will be no
doubt one year, until we will hear
the whistle blow.
There was quite an exciting time
on the 18th of last July, being the
day of the first County Election ever
held in Lane County. The Repub-
licans had delegate convention and
the Democrats held mass conven-
tiOn. All the time during the time
from the convention up to the day of
the election, the Democrats mani
tested good spirits, but the night of
the Election, they were sadly disap-
pointed. because it resulted in de-
feat to the Democrats. But as Kan
| sas is, by large majority, a Rcpub-
lican State, We would hardly antici-
pate any thing to the contrary. This
election was held only, to elect the
County officers for short term of
three months; we will therefore try
them again in November, and if then
our party will be powcrless we will
have to let the Republicans to the
front. Yours, G. f. EGGER.

companions.
Then the fac-simile of the message
handed over to the police was produced
and the accused were asked if they re
membered receiving the original. They
replied that it wa4 the duty of the prose
cution to prove that they received it.
At this reply the grating which Ind
been found in Inthmar's desk was pro
duced.
Sardorf and his companions could not
deny that the grating had been in their
possession. They did not try to. To-
such material evidence there was no re-
ply. The application OF the grating PER
mitted the ecryptoPraphic letterto he read,
and the letter must consequently have
been received.
And thus they learned how the secret
of the conspiracy had been discovered
and the husis on which the prosecution
was originated
From this time forward question and
answer passed rapidly aud clearly told
the story.
Sandorf denied nothing. He spoke
on behalf of his two friends. A move
ment intended to bring about the seper1l.
ton of Hungary from Austria and the
antonomic Reconstruction OF the kingdom
of the ancient Magyars had been organ
lied by them. Had they not been ar
rested it would shortly have broken ont,
and Hungary would have reconquored
its independence. Sandorf claimed to
be the chief of the conspiracy, and in
sisted that his fellow prisoners were
merely his agents. But Zuthmar and
Bathory protested against this contpn-
ton, and claimed the honor of having
been his accomplices and desired to
share his fate.
When the President inteTooated the
prisoners as to their dealings with others
they refused to reply. Not name was
given.
"You have now three heads" said
Sandorf, land that must be enough for
you"
Three heads only, for Sandorf then
set himself to exculpating Sarcany, 4
young clerk employed in Count Zath.
mars house on the recommendation of
Silas Toronthal.
Sarcany could not confirm what San
dorf stated. He knew nothing of the
conspiracy. He had been greatly sur
prised to learn that in this quiet house
on the Acquedotto a plot was in progress
against the safety of the State If he
had made no protest when he was ar-
rested it was because he had no idea
what it was all about.
Neither Count Sandorf nor Sarcany
had any difficulty in proving this-and
it is probable that the Court had already
made up his mind in the matter. At
the suggestion of the Judge Advocate
the charge against Sarcany was then
and there Abandoned.
By two o'clock in the afternoon the
pleadings were oil over, and the sentence
was given without even an adjournment.
Count Matthias Sandorf, Count Ladis-
las Zathmar and Professor Stephen
Bathory were found guilty of high
treason against the State and sentenced
to death
The prisoners were to be shot in the
courtyard of the castle.
The execution was to take place with
in forty-eight hours. Sarcany was to be
kept in custody I'm til the closing of the
Jail books, which would not take place
until after the execution of the sentence.
By the same judgment all the posses.
sions of the prisoners were oonfiscated.
The prisoners were then removed.

CONGREGATIONALTSM.

The General Association MeefInE-Tht Claims of The Study of Sociology The Annual Sermon.
 At the meeting this week in Norwich ot the General association, the claims of the study of sociology upon the ministry were
 presented in clear and earnest unwritten address by Rev. Dr. Newman Smyth, of New Haven. They were four.
 1. Because we are ministers of the gospel of so- ciety. The gospel of the kingdom, Jesus came preaching social as well as an individual saliva
 g. To preach the gospel, the study of economics was necessary, and claimed the preachers atten-
 3. The need of popular leadership claimed a thorough preparation on the part of the ministers fer the discussion questions as the functions of the State the uses as well as the abuses of corporate interests, etc.
 1. Their work being along the line where the moral blended with the economic and the human
 with the industrial, there is special demand for the development of the sociology of the Old Testament a progressive revelation and adaptaton of laws to the ever progressive wants of the people The ad-
 dress @ closed with an earnest plea for tn ministers lovers but the makers of peace.
 Rev. Frank Woodwork, of Wolcott, fol- lowed directly with a carefully prepared and admirably well balanced paper on "The re- lation of ministers and churches to labor or ganizations"
 The Hartford Post says: The annual ser mon to the clergy was preached in the even ing by Rev. Burdett Hart of New Haven. It urged them to avoid the taint of agnosti- cism, to preach a doctrinal theology which sweeps the whole field of revealed facts, to be explicit and affirmative in their teaching, and to recognize the fact that the whole system of biblical truth is based on the penalty for sin. It was an outspoken, detailed and sweeping erraignment of the ';New Theology" so-called, as unfounded in scripture, alien to Congregationalism, and disastrous in it's effects. It was delivered with deep earnestness and solemnity, and was at times eloquent, although variously 1eceiyed
