purpose to comment. The public were very
much dissatisfied with the way matters
were managed, and l feel that what 1
would say now would have hut little
force. In the account which ] have writ

tion Of the responsibility Of the men con-
nected with it. l believe that the respon-
sibility for that disaster was divided.
While did land my men where promised
to two years before, blame myself that I
did not go farther-that ! did not take into
my hands the question of safety. But CO.
ing there as u lieutenant OF the army felt
that it was not my place to enter into the
question as to how the safety OF the ex-
pedition should be conserved. I promised
only that would get to Sabine, and at
Sabine was found. [Applause.1

Tho Work Of Commissioners sparkle.

Washington Special: Commissioner
Sparks congratulates himself that the work
OF the general land Office for few weeks
past has been quite up to the standard of
reform and publication which has been set
up for theguidance OF the Democra tic party.
Since Commissioner Sparks called on Presi-

sanceled for fraud seyenty-eight home
ctead, pre-elnption and timber culture
entries and 1O1 pre.emption filings.
and held for cancellation upon the
groundof fraud seventy-nine homestead
and other entries. Tho cancellations
occurred mainly in the northwest, where
special agents and inspectors are just get
ting warmed up to their work. Nothing is
said rs to whether some OF these cancela-
tions may not be the result of too great
zeal on the part OF special agents. The of.
flee is trying to go carefully in this respect.
The cancellations made restore to settle
ment between 35 900 and 1000 acres OF
land since Jan. l. The commissioner has
also recommended criminal suits against
twenty-one persons for cutting timber on
the public lands and civil suits in sixteen

representative. While there are not
ess than twenty opinions to be ex-
pressed every hour on the rules of |
he house, the public, in its vulgar
ignorance, expects useful measures
to be passed during the odds and
ends of time that remain. But the
public must be educated up to right
of the superior value of
"order." And while the readers of
the BULLETIN and Advertiser are
treated every day to points of order
by the column and business by the
inch; it is their bounden duty, as
good citizens, to keep constantly
and reverently in view the fact that
these are not the paltry frivolities OF
q school boys debating club IN the
back woods of Oregon, but the
dignified deliberations of an honor
able Legislative Assembly in the capi-
tai of the prettiest little kingdom the
sun shines upon. 1t should be graft
flying to the readers of debates that
order absorbs so much Of the national
representatives time and attention.
The opposite of order is chaos, yet
there are, among our own readers
many upon whom our oracular utter
ances have produced so little effect
that they really believe too much OF
the time of the Assembly is occupied
in debating points of order, thus
insinuating that the time might as
well be utilized in the discussion OF
chaos. 1t is manifestly absurd, how
ever, for the public to expect busi-
ness while order is like creation in
the pre-Adamic ages of the geolo.
gist, in a state of solution. The
laws of order must have time to
operate before the legislative elements
can be consolidated into solid busi-
ness strata. These little difficulties,
however, are removable. IL is COM
petent for the Board of Education
at once to issue mandate to every
public school teacher to organize a
debating institute in connection with
his school, taking the rules of the
Legislative Assembly for textbook.
Every honorable member may then,
not only, as above stated, keep him
self informed on the doings of the
institutes, but he can also dispense
with the necessity of 'rising to q
point of order" at any time, by
forwarding such point of order post
haste to the institute in his district,
there to be debated at length; and
meanwhile, pending the result, he
can apply himself to practical legis-
lation. By thus throwing the onus
of these debates where they properly
belong, the juvenile population will
be furnished with Il highly entertain
ing and educative species of amuse-
ment, while the Legislative Assem-
bly, will be free to proceed with the
great national questions and import
ant local improvements accommodating
on the Secretary's table and in the
committee rooms.
