against the bill said to-day: 1.-The

been confined to places where iiq-

IL is in such places, especially in
the coutry, that crimes and disor-
der arise, and the State has clear
.Iy Il right to regulate business of
this characterin the interest of
the pubic. No argument of this

An important decision bas late
" been rendered by the Commits
sioncr of the General Land Office
ut Washington d. c., which, If
abidcd by, gives settlers chance
to homestead on. their lands. We
have mlslaid the paper containing
the decision, and can only glYe the
facts as VIC remember them. The
case appears to be this: Some
gentleman in st. Landry parish,
who made settlement on public
lands in 1873, and had made no
clEorsto sec,ire this land, although
his Settlement was made IN good
fn.h. In 1888 this land was loca-
tel and claimed by
the New Orleans Pacific Rail Road
Es0 under the backbone land
grants and under the Blanchard
Robertson agreement, this settler
would have had to pay - 90 per
acrc for lIis land; this, hc did not
choose to do, and IN 1885, the early
!,art of this year, he applied to the
Land Office at New Orleans to
homestead on this land, but OF
course, his application was refused
on. the grounds that the land was
rail road land. In order to make
4 test case of this, the A torney
tor the settler applied trthc Gem
eraI Land Ofice at Washington,
making the plea, that settlement
was made on this land by this set
tier PRIOR to its selection ~ the
rail road, and that the settler had
resided continuously on the land
since 1873, and was therefore entl-
tied to a. homestead under the
homestead laws. Hisploa was sus-
tanned, and the settler was award
the homestead, subject to appeal
by the rall road within so daps-
Now, if there are any settlers n

On this land prior to its selection
by the rail road. under the decision
rendered byCommissioner Sparks
they are certainly entitled to home
stead Lac land, andwe would advise
them to try it in preference to
paying the rail road $500 per acre
for same.

q reputation second to none. He is an old
resident, having arrived and been continu-

is attempting to cater to the most popular
wants Of the people. His saloon ia as meri-

supplied with the very best drinkables OF
