however after half of the second act to the
end Of the third there are waves OF the de-
sired quality. Miss Palmer sang several
popular selestions, and part ofthe audience
for some reason seemed disposed to encore
one OF them. In her assumption OF three
characters, Miss Palmer has great deal OF
work, much Of which was overlooked BY
the auditors who were bewildored by the
immense display Of diamonds worn by
her. The costumes were probably the
finest seen here this season.

A few days ago Senator Chandler
wrote IA letter to Secretary Villas, direct
ing his attention to the rumor that Ger
tain persons were cutting timber on In
dian lands in Michigan with the consent
of the Indians, but without the approval
serious that Senator Chandler and his re-
publican associates thought Mr.. Villas
should interfere, which the latter said
he would do if he found any basis for
the story. Ii is wonderful how solicit
Gus the republicans have suddenly be-
come in the matter of land and timber
frauds
But Mr.. Villas has Just requested the
president to call the attention of con-
gress to a specimen land fraud under re-
publican administration which illustrates
how the people have been despoied of
the public domain. In 1864 and 1866
congress granted 2 5GS, 800 acres of land
in Oregon to aud in the construction of
wagon roads. The investigation of the
interior department shows that none of
these roads were ever completed, that
some were commenced but never fin
ished, while Others were never begun.
On certificates that some of the roads
had been completed patents were issued
to the companies for 81 ,227 acres, which
were at once transferred to other parties
in order to carry out the innocent pur-
chaser" racket.
Secretary Villas submits a bill to be pre-
sented to congress repeating all these
grants and declaring forfeited all rights
and titles claimed hereunder ,cept those
of actual settlers to the extent of 800
acres who Were innocent purchasers.
The bill also directs the attorney general
TO institute suits to cancel all patents and
certifcations under these grants with the
exception as stated.
This matter is much more worthy of
the attention of there publicans in con-
gress than somebody's story about tim
bier cutting on Indian lands. Here are
nearly one million acres of land abso
lutely stolen from the people by fraudu-
lent and corrupt methods under republi~
can administration of the government. 1t
is but one instance of successful despoil>
ing of the public domain. The bill rec
omended by Secretary Villas to recover
these stolen lands will test the sincerity
of the newborn republican concern for
the rights of the people.
