in another. 1t can be readily seen
how families and the rights OF chill
dren may be affected by this condi-
ton Of the marriage and divorce
laws. A man and woman may think
they are legally married, and may
never discover their error. Their
children may be aware of it, however
when they claim share of their pa
rents estate.
The laws relating to marriage and
divorce ought to be the same in every
State. The only way to secure uni
iormity IS by means of a constitution
al amendment. It.is probable that
such an amendment would not meet
with much opposition.

HE'LL OWN THE ROAD YET.
Not many miles from Chicago lives
targotnan who, for nearly four
years, has played little game adj
mirably for its boldness and ingenui-
ty. The duties Of a targetman, every
one should know, are to keep con
slant lookout at the crossing OF two
railroads and to swing the red danger
signal over one track at the approach
Of a train at the other. For ten
years one man has held the position
Of day targetman, and he is still there.
-Four years ago the night man was
killed, and the day man, acting un-
der instructions, reported the name
OF man competent to take deceased's
place. This man was accordingly
placed on the pay roll and received
his salary regular from the pay car.
The junction at which these men are
employed is merely crossing out in
the prairie There is no house ex-
cept the targetman's shanty, few
rods away his humble dwelling. A
few weeks ago it was accidentally dis
covered that Tor four years one man
had drawn two mems pay, and that
the new man that was hired four
years ago never existed, save in the
imagination Of the man who pretend
ed to hire him. But the targetman
who drew two mems pay also did
two mems work. For four years he
has lived in that little shanty, night

Action OF Acids on the saliva.

The influence of acids in retarding or
arresting salivary digestion is further Of
importance in the die;etic use of pickles,
vinegar, salads, and acid fruits. In the
case of vinegar it was found that part

proportion of in 1000 rendered it very
slow, and I in 500 arrested it COM

Friday, April a, 1886.

THE House committee on public
lands recommends that the homestead
law, which now requires a settler to
live upon his land sixty months, be-
fore patent may issue, be changed 80
as TO reduce the period to thirty
months, with a provision that at least
ten acres of land shall be under culti-
walton for that length of time. This
committee, understand, recommends
that the pre-emption and timber cul-
ture laws be repealed. If these bills
become laws Congress will have done
nothing to favor such settlers as are in
Montana or will be likely to come
here. The very argument which pre-
walls to repeal the pre-emption law
might as well operate to prevent the
shortening of the five-year homestead
period. Congress seems to have the
notion that a settler stays on his land
only long enough to get his patent
under pre-emption laws and then
sells. If this Is their view then they
are hardly consistent in repeating the
presumption law under which the set.
:ler buys the land after six months
residence and cultivation and at the
same time cut off half the five years
residence necessary to get patent
for nothing. In our country we shall
always need timber. and under proper
care and supervision the timber act
could be of immense benefit In encour-
aging the growth of trees. The trouble
lies in Congress endeavoring by gen.
eral legislation to enact land laws
which will meet the needs and condi-
tions of dissimilar sections ofcountry.
The homestead, presumption, desert
and timber culture laws are good as
they are. The only thing that the
government need do is to see that
they are honestly observed by all
parties.

ton, and two strikers tvrned switch
and ditched the train. The police

they refused and fire was opened upon
them and Dennis Noonan was shot

1T is human to err. 1t looks AS II
the sturdy citizen-sOldier, General
Logan, has Numbered. His enemies
in the south are trying to have it ap-
pear that General Logan's present
anxiety to cause the increase of the
army is to provide additional means
OF coercing the workingmen. The
Generals habit of wearing gold cord
around his military hat probably is as
good reason as anything that the
country can discover. The General is
infatuated with the tinsel. He is
fiattered with the numerous attentions
which he receives from generals, colo
nels and captains. He probably
knows nothing of the real facts as to
the purposes for which soldiers are
used-especially on the frontier. II

diers are asked for by him now be.

lent and really patriotic Senator

brass and steel, II Is the halo around

dates were not SO far ahead, this un.
fortunate move Of General Logan's
would lessen his chances, for he has
the presidential bee in his bonnet.

DouHLE ExDCUTIoa ORDxnxD.-On LAST
Wednesday Gov. Mc1snery issued the death
warrant Of George Solomon, one Of the
condemned colored murders confined in
the parish jail Of Ascension, who was con-
victed at the May term Of orr District
Court for killing Henry Smith back Of the
Nj. Houmas plantation on the 18th Of jan
uary. The day assigned for the execution
il Friday, the 10th Of July. The warrant
was read TO Solomon by Deputy Sheriff
David Israel on Thursday morning, and
was listened to by the condemned without
any display of emotion. He was heard
moaning and praying in his cell last night
and expresses himself bent upon making
his peace with God and peparing to meet
his doom like Christian.
On Friday . second warrant was signed
by the Governor directing that the sentence
of death passed upon Sampson Roland be
also carried into effect on the 18th Of July,
between the hours Of IL II. and P. N. Ro-
land killed BENJAMIN Gersdorf on the Mt.
Houmas plantation on the 18th of February,
1884, escaped from the parish but was subse-
quently captured, tried and convicted and on
the 18th of September, 1885, was sentenced
to death. On the 18th of January, 1886, a
death warrant was issued, ordering the ex-
ecution Of the condemned on February II,
but two days before that date respite was
granted by the Governor in order to allow
the friends of the deceased to appeal to the
Board of Pardons for Communication of
his sentence. This effort has resulted in
failure and Roland must expiate his crime
with his life. The death warrant was read
to him this afternoon and its dread man
date received with calmness. He declares
that be is resigned to his fate and is CRATE
full to his friends who exerted themselves to
save him from the scafold.
