TIE Democratic papers now con cede that if the falling of of the Prohibition vote noticed in many of the States this year should ex- tend to New York it would have q serious effect on the chances of Mir. Cleveland. There can hardly be a doubt that the Prohibition strength in the latter State this year will be much below that of the election of 1886. But whether this will or will not be the case, there is not the slightest probability that the Democrats can carry New York in 1888. The free trade propaganda of the party, combined with the renomination of Gov" Hill, has done the business for tho Dem ocracy in the Empire State, and thus in the country as whole.

Mr Hoimanis suspension tstil - A Case
 in Which Good raith Wins the Day.
 Mir, Holman's bill to suspend the operation of the public land laws, which formed the subject of my last letter, has not yet emerged from the room of the Committee on Public Lands, where it was sent at the time of its introduction.
 Whether it win be passed by the House of Representatives or hot is an open question, some Members expressing the opinion that it will, while others assert the contrary. One member of the committee Is strongly inclined to the opinion that the bill will be defeated in the comUlittee room, and those having the interests of fhe great Northwest at heart should hope that his opinion will prove correct.
 A case was decided by the Assist ant Secretary of the Interior few days ago which Illustrates the theory that it is good faith that counts in perfecting entries under the preemption and homestead laws.
 Lafayette Grim, of the Niobrara land district, Nebraska, filed his declaratory statement May 25, 1886, alleging settlement the day before. He established an actual residence on the land with his family June l, following. '~.''' '" ',
 On January II, l8S7--seyen months and ten days from begin ming residence-he submitted hi: proof and offered payment for the land, the proof showing that his family had been continuously upor the land from the date when tliC residence thereon was first estab lishgd, but that Grim had personally been absent from the land at worl for two months during the time The total valuation of improve ments was thirty-fvo dollars.
 The register and receiver rejected the proof and refused to allow hin to enter the land on the ground tha his improvements were So raeagr' and because the law does not permi absence from the land during tn six months preceding proof. Thi decision was affirmed by the Com missioner (Sparks) of the Genera Land Office, and the filing wa held for cancellation. .-.
 Or appeal, Mi. Muldrow, Actin Secretary of the Interior, found tha the improvements, as described b, the claimant and his witnesses were quite as good as those usual, made by pre>emption claimants, an, that the furnishing of his hous indicated an intention to make
 permanent home, and that the val uation of the Improvements at s3J was very modest; so, in view of tn evident good faith of the claiman he ordered the final papers to issue
 From this it is to be inferred tha the Department will not permit tn fixing of a minium of improvement and that officers in passing upo, the suiliciency of proof must us discretion, and act in each case il accorcance with the law and tn facts so that justice may be done't t all; in other words, they must, lik the Mix ado, n Gilbert < Sullivan operetta, ''let the punishment fl the crime " HENRY N: COPE | -us-
