DISCUSSING THE MINORITY REPORT

WASHINGTON. April tSpsciap.-The admirable
abstract of the minority report on the Dark
Lantern bill published In The TRIBUNE to-day
WAS read with avidity by Republicans and many
Democratic members Of thu House. Some OF the
latter complained that they were unable to obtain
from Democratic newspapers any idea as to what
the minority Of the Ways and Means Committee
had to say ON a question Of great public interest,"
Among Republicans there was general regret that
H. had been found Improbable to publish the
minority report entire. From no Demooratio

members thereof last Thursday, The dpcumehI

which seems to be rare now and likely TO become
unique The truth Is that the majority OF the
committee was not able until yesterday morning

little, sugar it would have. Probably this Is the
first time in the history Of revenue legislation the

the Whole, and to abide by the result Of the vote
there and TO vote for the bill with free WOOL II

OF the bill have agreed that should the result IN
Committee Of the Whole be adverse to them, they
will abandon free wool and not demand vote

would have the right to demand ms Jug

more confident than ever Of success.

Timothy ]. Campbell was asked for his Views
and he replied In substance:
Well I don't know Nobody in my district ever cues
TONED any vote cast either in the Legislature or In
Congress- but think President ought to have his own
way in regard 10 this matter
That shows where Timothy stands 1t Is

THE MAIL ROUTE.

The manner in which the mails

general complaint. BY the recen,
change in the schedule OF the North.
eastern Railroad. leaving New Or
leans at 5 p. NJ, the mail for this
parish is not delivered until late
the following evening-it reaches
Covington about half-past 7o'clock.
II the East Louisiana Road had
the contract. our mail would leave
here early in the morning, and
arrive in New Orleans in a little
over two hours, giving ample time
20 receive an answer in the even.
ing. and the morning papers from
the city would reach here the same
day they r printed. instead of the
following night.
We think it would be advisable
for the proprietors of the morning
papers to look into this matter and
lend their assistance in securing
the necessary change. At present
their subscribers are very justly
complaining because they do not
receive their papers until they are
two days old. Better send them as
freight. viz the East Louisiana
Road, tkan wait for Uncle Sam and
the Northeastern.
The latest news we now get is
from the evening papers. Which, are
only twenty-seven hours old when
they reach here.
This outrageous schedule has
been in force since the LIST OF Janu-
airy. greatly to the disgust Of our
people and injury to our business
and it should cot be al
to continue q day longer.
The East Louisiana trains leave
here in tho morning and return in
the evening, and in order to facili-
tate the delivery of the mails. and
relief to the citizens Of this
the Postofice Department

This is the only direct rail
route from New Orleans to Coving-
Ton, and it stands to reason that it
should have the contract for carry

The moon will be totally eclipsed

The phenomenon viii! be generally

The conditions for observation will

early in the morning for Q view of
the interesting exhibition.
The eclipse takes place in east

Total eclipse begins, 5 3O.7 p. m.
Middle Of eclipse, 6 1919 p. m.
Total eclipse ends. Z 80 p. m.
Moon leaves shadow, 8 90 p. n.
Moon leaves penumbra, 8 1T

It will be seen by the above that
the moon enters the earthis shadow
before sunset. but when the total
eclipse begins. at $50 p. m. it will
be dark enough to watch its pro-
gress through the most interesting
stage.
The moon will not be entirely
lost to sight when totally immersed
in the sar.h's dark shadow. She
will shine family, with . lurii, cop
per-colored light. thus giving al
unearthly aspect to the surround

THE NEW ORLEANS LAND

The Louisiana journal says:

The Louisiana journal says:
ave hear frequent complaints
about the manner in which the
business of the New Orleans Land

plant that it is not conducted at
all. Applications for final proof OF
homestead entries are sent to that
Office. and that is the last that lie
ever heard of them: We are in
formed at the Office of the Clerk of
the District Court that large num-
Der Of business communications
have been sent from that office to
the New Orleans Land Office, to
which no reply has eve been re-
ceived. Many of these letters con-
tanned money to pay the fees OF
final proof of homesteads. but they
bring no receipt or response. This
is a hardship upon many poor peo-
pie who have settled and made a
home upon public lands under the
laws of tie United States After
they have complied with the law.
made final proof and forwarded the
same with the fees to the New Or
leans Land Office. nothing more is
ever heard of the matter, and the
poor settler is left for months and
years in a state Of uncertainty and
suspense. More than a year ago
we made complaint and called at
teE.ion to this matter, but there has
not been the least improvement.
Mr.. Butler. the Register of the
New Orleans Office. il well known
in this section as a man Of integ-
rity aud character. but the admins.
tration Of the Office is. from some
cause. loose and unsatisfactory. At
the Natchitoches office business is
transacted promptly aud correctly"
The same complaint of delay in
the matter of attending to fnal
proofs is made in st. Tammany AMI
Washington parishes. against the
the New Orleans Office. It seems
impossible to have the business
promptly attended to. aud app!i-
cants nre frequently kept waiting
for weeks and months, before they
receive their final papers. Whose
