and to hear them tell it, one would conclude
that labor never had such friend. Only too
often, in truth, they are men who never did a
days manual labor in their lives, and never
expect to. When they get the Congressional
chestnut out of the fire they will have no fur

SENATOR CoLQUITT, the Democratic Sena-
tor from Georgia, made several prohibition
speeches in Rhode Island during the late can
vass, which resulted in carrying the prohibi-
tory amendment by large majority. This
gave great offense to the bosses Of the Demo
cratic party. the Liquor League The Wash
ington Sentinel, the organ of the League,
thus expresses its mind:
Senator Colquitt has all reason to be sat
isfed with the result of the last elections. He
went to Rhode Island and delivered speech
there against his own party and its national
platform. The result was the election of
ninety-one Republicans out of 1O8 members
of the Legislature and the adoption of pro-
hibitory amendment. Senator Colquitt also
went to Ohio. He helped the Republican
cause there considerably, and the Baltimore
papers are now advertising him as one of the
speakers at big anti Democratic mass-mect-
ing. He may conquer Maryland as well as he
did Rhode Island Quien sabef If the Dem
ocratic leaders can stand such apostasy with
out denouncing it, all right. We can stand
it, too. AT Philippi we shall meet again"

ANOTHER rascal has been discovered and
turned out of Office. He was found in the
person of John w. Jones, who, several
months ago, was appointed Indian school
commissioner in Idaho. He has been arrested
and taken back to Arkansas on charge of
having embezzled several thousand dollars
from the endowment fund of the American
Legion of Honor, of which order he was Sec
rotary. The President is eminently right in
proceeding leisurely in the business of APP
pointing from the ranks Of the Democratic
applicants. His experience in this direction
has been anything but pleasing.

The Louisville Times, which mourns over

that "as for Mr. Willis and Mr.. Beck, the

it expires the better for the party and the
country" And all this anger oyer postoffice.

Philadelphia Record
The bill of Mr. Cobb. of Indiana, in relation to
the public lands will effectually accomplish what
Commissioner Sparks has undertaken to perform
in an administrative way. Mr.. Cobbs bill pro-
poses a total and immediate repeal Of the pre-
emption laws, timber-culture laws and DESERT
land laws. under which the spoilation of the
public domain has been made 80 easy for specu-
lators and land piratss. The repeal of these
laws will leave the homestead laws in full opera
ton for the benefit Of actual settlers, and this is
all that is necessary to encourage cultivation Of
the public lands and to maietain this liberal
policy of the government For every shat
has been entered and cultivated under the pre-
emption laws thousands have been stolen under
their cover. Commissioner Sparks endeavorsd
to check this spoilation by suspending the issue
of patents until the claims could be investigated.
but great outcry was raised against him, and
his action WAS revoked. The complaints do nos
come from actual settlers, who suffer no loss or
inconvenience from the commissioners action,
but from the spectators who wanted the patents
to legalize their frauds. This clamor against
Commissioner Sparks emphasizes the necessity
Of passing Mr.. Cobb's bill.
