United States for years. The struggle will not
only be for supremacy In the White House and
In Congress, but Ii will also decide our future
economic system-whether the Republican prin-
cipal OF protection, which has caused such an
unparalleled development of our country In every
possible line since IT'S adoption, shall lie contin-
ued, or whether we shall plunge the nation into
financial depression, great labor troubles, bank
ruptcy and poverty TO carry out the theories OF
stubborn and unstatesmanlike President
The BLADE will be found where Ii has ever
stOod-On the side OF the best Interests OF the
whole people: on the side OF American working
men as against those OF Europe; for the prosper
ity Of American manufacturers instead of those
OF foreign lands In favor OF American goods
made by American workingmen, as against the
conspiracy of the free trade theorists and the
selfish ring of importers In the Atlantic cities,
who see enormous fortunes In prospect as the re-
President Cleveland; on the side OF the Anleri-
can farmer, whose prosperity depends far more
on home market than foreign one; on the side
Of prosperity for all, rather than poverty for the
many and prosperity for the merchant import

Tribulations of Two Johns. /"

Two Cinnamon were looking into a
shop window when mischievous small
boy stepped up behind them and tied
the two pig-tails together. The rough
then seated himself OH hydrant near
by to wait the fun. Presently one of
the heathens started off his way down
the street. but of course came to q sud-
den halt when the limit of the tails was
reached His surprise was only equal
ed by that of his countryman. For a
second both glared at each other. Then
perceiving the cause of their predica-
ment sitting on the hydrant convulsed
with laughter, they simultaneously
made a rush for him. Of course the
boy ran. The Cinnamon, their queues
still fastened together as the boy left
them, followed at a breakneck speed,
yelling and gesticulating at every step.
The boy suddenly turned off the side
walk just where a telegraph pole stands,
and sped across the street. The enraged
Mongols turned off, too; but, forgetful
of their united condition, passed on op-
posite sides of the telegraph pole. tits
needless to say that they were rather
forcibly reminded of their blunder a
second later. They came together on
the opposite side of the mast like two
locomotives moving in opposite direc-
tions. "A crowd gathered about, and
kind-hearted policeman, who happened
by. untangled the demoralized and
chagrined Chinese. The small boy
vanished. --San Francisco Bulletin.

LAND oRAsssas

Ebe Secretary II the Interior MAKES H0oo
lsecommendatIons Regarding Oregon
Land 0rabben.
WARRINGTON, March l5-The Secretary
u the Interior yesterday sent to the Prest.
lent for the transmission to Congress the
report Of Mr.. ]. b. McName relative to the
land grant wagon roads in Oregon. H.
shows that grants Of land were made by
Congress in 1854 and 1865 to aid in the con-
struction OF these roads rs follows: For the
Willamette Valley and Cascade Mountain
military road, extending from Albany to.
Snake river, q distance Of 475 miles, SD 40
acres; to the Oregon Central military road,
from Eugene City to the Idaho boundary
line, distance of 40 miles, SO6, 400 acres,
and to the Dalles military road, from the
Dalles to old Fort Boise, . distance of $50
miles, 6S5.4 acres aggregating 2 SIS. 80:
acres. None Of these roads were ever
constructed. although the several.
Governors Of the State certified to their
completion; that Governor Woods certified
TO tho completion OF the Dalles road, when
in fact he had examined but a small por-
ton OF 1t. and that the agents appointed by
Governors Grover and May reported the
roads rs finished. when, In fact, their con-
struction had not been begun. On these
certificates Of the Governors patents were
issued to these companies for gil, ~ acres.
The title to the remainder has not yet
passed to patent. Immediately on secur-
ing the certificates Of completion the lands
were sold with the view Of putting the
lands in the hands Of nominally innocent
purchasers. The first named grant is now
claimed by Alexander Wells, the second by
the California II Oregon Land Company, Of
San Francisco, the third by the heirs Of
Edward Martin, Of San Francisco. and the
Eastern Oregon Land Company, also Of Sar
Francisco.
With the report the Secretary submits q
draft OF y bill to be presented to Congress-,
repeating all of the granting acts, declar-
ing forfeited all rights and titles claimed
Hereunder and restoring to the public do
main all the lands granted, excepting such
as may have been sold to innocent pur-
chasers, who are actual settlers to the ex-
tent Of one sec ion of each OF such pur-
chasers. The bill directs the Attorney
General to institute suit to cancel al
patents and certifications under the acts
with the exceptions stated above.
After setting forth the facts, in his letter
to the President, Secretary Villas concludes
as follows: 1T would seem therefore, tC
be the fair duty Of the Government not
alone toward these citizens who are better
entitled to possess these lands themselves
but in apprehension ard redress Of gross
imputation and fraud, to dispossess bys
judicial inquiry and just action these
fraudulent pOssessOrs."

magnificent to those who had no friends IN
the mine. The flames shot out 30 feet in
the bright sunshine, and the top was
crowned by black smoke and flying frag-
ments Of tImbers. Women and children
were screaming and praying when the fire
