The land Office has been notified from
Washington that F. o. Sawin of Lara
mic has been appointed to the position of
agent Of the interior department to make
preliminary selection Of seventy two sec
tons of public land granted to the ter
ritory for university purposes.
The commissioner instructs the regis
ter and receiver that the tracts should be
selected in entire sections, so far as posi-
BILE, and that in no case will less than half
a section be accepted unless it shall be
shown that the selection of a smaller sui
division is necessary to secure reasonable
satisfaction of the grant.
The law allows selection OF any unap-
propriated public lands, unless a pre-
emption or other valid claim shall have
attached, but lands reserved from sale by
act Of congress or presidential proclama
ton, or withdrawn from market for any
purpose, are excepted from selection.
The local officers are instructed upon
filing of the lists Of selected lands to e.: i.
anime the records to ascertain whether
the selections are free from objection be-
fore reporting the same to the general
land office. All regular selections of va
can't lands are to be accepted and noted,
as in the case Of private entry.
The congressional grant may now be
made available for the purposes for which
it was intended, and no time should be
lost in selecting the lands, in order to
secure the most valuable still remaining
vacant.

A colored man was arrested by Sheriff
Craig in Laramie City night before last,
on a charge of horse stealing and assault.
1t appears that n negro and a white man
were working together for a stockman
named Bruton, holding some cattle on
Horse creek. One day last week these
two men had a quarrel, but no blows were
struck at the time. During the night fol-
lowing, however, the negro crawled upon
the white man, who was sleeping, and
struck him on the head with a club, cut
ting a cash in the scalp four inches in
length. He then borrowed a horse from
the Percheron Horse Association ranch to
ride to town, and not sending the horse
back, he was accused of stealing him, but
the horse was found in one Of the livery
stables of this city, and having a trial
before Judge Fisher yesterday, the charge
of Horse stealing was dismissed and the
prisoner was fined $40 and costs for
assault.

tailors brought suit aud the case has just
bsen tried In the City Court. The court
made the remarkable ruling that the jury
was the proper judge Of tho liz Of the
trousers-not the man who measured ior
them, moi theI cutter who cut them, nor
the man who vast 10 wear them, but a jury
Of twelve good men and true who could

and brute force the anterior portions OF

not thought necessary for each juror to

The evidence was considered couelusively
against the PLAINTIFF and they lost the case
in spite of their couusel's shrewd point
that the recealIy defendant had actually
inflated himself for the occasion.
In this case It may be that justice was
done, but the conclusive evidence having
been the trying on the trousers, it is
easy to see how, in another case great in.
Justice might be done to the tailor; al

Somebody in Mr.. Coukling's interest Is
feeling the public pulse for him. lie Ia
"meutoned" az the successor 10 Warner
Miller in the United States Senate. On
the superstition that there will be a Re
publican Legislature, and that 1t will
choose a Republican for Senator, 1t would
seem a waste OF effort to be taking sound
iugs in Mr.. Conkliug's behalf.
MI, Conkling may stand on the Repub'
liCan platform, but OF late he has not beer
enough of a Republican to support thai
party's nominees, Not only so, but 1t has
been the proud boast OF hia friends that Il
was not Burchard, nor prohibition nor the
Delmonico dinner nor the three combined
that defeated Blaine and Logan, but Conk'
ling himself.
Ifgrstitude plays any pant in human al
fairs ConklinG's political preterment IN
the future, II he Is 10 have any, ought ia
come from the party for which he has per
formed the one conspicuous service OF biz
llfs. His lsbors in behalf OF the Repub'
llcuu party were confined to bearing him
self proudly, talking well, and r~osiGninl
his seat in the Senate because he could
not lead a Republican President by The
nose.
There ia no danger OF Mr.. C,nkling be-
ing sent back to the Senate by a Repub'
lican Legislature, and the suggestion Is
worthy Of notice only because it shows
asurprlsiug dpgrCa OF idiocy,

For blind faith in the Presidents Civil
Service reform pledget-or is 1t q Jealous
determination to blind lis resdersP-thc
New York Times Is entitled to the pre-
MUM. The Timts not only believes the
President 10 have been sincere in hiH
promises, but prstendS to believe no ia
faithfully keeping his pledges. Speaking
Of the Civil Service examinations the Times
says:
The spoilsmen may IS well give up the
notion OF having the whole eligible list
certified. That will not be done. The
Sterling case makes them think 1t may DO
done, but they forget that 1t was officially
declared that that case should not DO

man tho most Objectionable chosen by
the present administration for any place.
But It has been Officially declared that
that case should not be madea precedent!
The administration may go on making
such exceptions To the rule until 1t has
male a hundred, or a thousand Sterling
appointments, and still refuse to regard
any n OF thtm as a precedent. Many

Driving or YOuDE Men.

The political debauchery in Ohio Is the
subject Of general comment by the news
papers, which will not let 1t go Gs a purely
local matter in which only tho people Of
Ohio are interested. The Boston Alder.
tiser, in a strong and well.lnformed article,
says:
It is to be hoped that Ohio has come to
the turning point in political degradation.
The Junior Payne hG1 removed to New
York, and Mclean has failed under cir
cumstances that will be apt to weaken his
influence. Before this session Of the leRis
lature ends, incontesLable proof Of the
monstrous proiligaCy Of the late ruling
forces in the Democratic party will be
spread on the record 10 that all may know
II. And, although, as was tho ease Ia
Maine, the facts may DO denied or defend-
ed BY pattisanB who care more for party
than for right, the Republicans, as In
Maine, will discover their majorities
strengthening year by year by the acces'
sion Of young voters who desire 10 escape
the shame oI criminal heritage.
The sting Of this paragraph is in the tail
Of II. Young men like to ally themselves
with a party Of which they have no reason
to be ashamed, with which they may take
an active part without having to defend
corrupt practices for which they are not
responsible. They like TO march under
their party's banner, TO work for 1t and 10
vote for II without being classed ps ballot
steGlerS, return.alters aud hucksterS in
votes. Young men, with the hope Of long
lifo before them, do not find pleasure in
branding themselves with 'thO shame Of
a criminal heritage"
