A Tremendous Sensation

Would have been created one hundred
wears ago by the sight of one of our
modern express trains whizzing along at
the rate OF sixty miles an hour. Just
think how our grandfathers would have
stared at such spectacle! 1t takes a
good deal to astonish people Nowadays,
but some OF the marvellous cures of con.
sumption, wrought by DR.. Picrce's
Golden Medical Discovery, have created
widespread amazement. Consumption
is at Inst acknowledged durable. The
"Golden Medical Discovery" is the only
known remedy for It. II taken ut the
right time-which, bear in mind, is not
when the lungs arc nearly gone-it will
80 right to the seat of tho disease and
accomplish its work as nothing else in
tho world can.

An After.uarvest Outlook.

II farmers will carefully examine their
stubble fields from which the grain has
been recently cut, they will note that
where acid rock has been used the clio.
yer has, in most places, failed to
"catch," and timothy grass is struggling
for supremacy with a rank growth Of
bitter or rag weeds, interspcrscd with
plantains. This is the inevitable result
OF applying the poor substitute instead
OF reliable fertilizers, whose base Is ami.
inalbones.
It mny happen in some instances and
Tor time that the yield Of wheat, both
in grain and straw, will equal that grown
with bone fertilizer, but at the present
price (75c. per bushel) and result of
25 bushels per aero, worth $1S Is, it is an
Insignificant compensation for the loss
Of two tons OF hay per acre, worth ut
least $l2 per ton, and total loss extend.
ing over the next three years of not less
than $72 on each acre so dwiDdled OF its
grass by this highly vitrolize,l rock.
To merely grow $3.50 worth of wheat
at a sacrifice Of four times lis value in
grass, is doubtful experience, to say
nothing Of the absolute loss of pasturage
during the intervals of cropping.
Therefore, aside from any scientific
discussion OF the subject, and from a
practical standpoint, fixed by observa-
ton and wide experience, we would say
to farmers that there Is a serious risk to
run In the continued practice Of apply
ing plain acid phosphates or dissolved
mineral phosphates" alone. Let no
farmer console himself with tho plea
that his land is in good condition; that
IL has an abundance OF organic matter to
counteract the excess Of sour principles,
and that he can safely coat the ground
with acid phosphate rock, for the time
will surely come when the suporabund'
ance of acids will act rs poison to the
clover roots, and bring in their stead d
growth OF sorrel and weeds.

Most fttingly the first two hours of tho
meeting OF the committee on platform wero
given to tho reception of tho ladies who So
licited hearing as delegates from the Ma
tonal Woman's Suffrage Association. They
were courteously received and uttentivcly
heard throughout; and there will be, left no
residuum Of doubt as to the hearty respect
that Republicans cherish for the cultured
women OF America, who, through love of
home and in the interests of justice and
righteousness, rather than from desire
for political spoils or honors, ask the right
to express their views ut the ballot-box The
civil war gave the loyal women of our coun-
try opportunity to prove by their labors of
love and self-sacritice how important fac
tor they were in sustaining the Govern
ment in its hour of peril But for their
most powerful help the issues of that strug-
gle might have been against National unity
and liberty. For that reason, il for no other,
says the Chicago H,ter-O Ocean, women will
ever receive courteous treatment in the
conventions of tho party Of loyalty and free
dom.
The question as to the official utterancc of
the party on the subject of woman suffrage
is, however, to be considered from tho
standpoint of practical politics rather than
from sentiment The party is by no means
q unit as to the wisdom of any further ex-
tension Of suffrage. There are considerable
numbers in all parties who do favor it, and
the best way to settle the question is is by
submission to the popular vote. Inasmuch
as it overlaps the bounds Of parties it might
handicap the cause these good women would
promote If any single party should make it
campaign ISSUE But the Republicans Of
to-day have in no wise retrograded, and tho
party can at least, with propriety and safe
ty, reatflrm the fourteenth resolution Of tho
platform of 1872, to which Miss Anthony re-
ferred with evidence of satisfaction, read
ing as follows
"The Republican party is mindful of its
obligations to the loyal women of America
for their noble devotionto the cause of free
dom. Their admission to wider fields Of
usefulness Is viewed with satisfaction, and
the honest demand of any class of citizens
for additional rights should be treated with

your correspondent that injustice was
done him in the statement that he had
promised when a candidate before the

that he would not be candidate for re-
election. I have always and
as yet do esteem Col. Davidson
for his many excellent qualities and
for the very able manner in which he
has represented the First District in
Congress. | have not the least desire to
do him injustice, and must therefore
correct the statement that Col. David
son made the remark attributed to him
by me. But in such correction | am
compelled, as matter of justice to
myself, to say that Col. Davidson's
friends, whom it was quite natural to
suppose spoke with a degree of author
ity, did sag that if Davidson was NOM
mated then he was perfectly willing to
give way to a South Florida candidate at
the coming election. /. for one, voted
in the convention for r. FL. nj. David
son with that understanding, and if
Col Davidson's record, which | admit is
one of the highest character, is not
sufficient to gain him votes in a conven-
ton then submit that friends over
jealous in his behalf have placed him in
the position of giving way to a South
Florida candidate. Not desiring to do
injustice to Col. Davidson, am quite
happy to say that he did not make the
statement referred to but that it came
from those who were supposed to be
friendly to him. Y.

uNEARhED RAILROAD LANDS.
A Bill to Throw Them Open to Settlers State
ment Corrected.
Itt HT tNe PututhU NfHS.
WASHINGTON, February %.


Correspondence at The Pdtdt6d Neus.
WASHINGTON, February %.
A matter OF great importance to that
class of persons in Florida, who are i'm
pressed with the idea that it would be
well for Congress to declare the Florida
Railway and Navigation grant forfeited,
will come up in the House in few days.
In years gone by Congress thought
proper to grant large bodies of land
throughout the country, to aid in the
construction of various lines of raj road
The odd numbered sections of land
were taken off the market, and in the
South more land was granted than else-
where, and the readers of THE NEWS
are familiar with the Yulee grant, to for
felt which Senator Call has of late la
bored so earnestly. Many of these land
grant railroads were never built accord
ing to the terms of the law, while very
few ever really earned their grants ac-
cording to the strict construction of this
same law.
Increasing population and protection
to settlers demanded change in this
state of affairs, and Congress took the
matter under consideration, and by
proper legislation restored many hun
bred acres of this land to public occupa-
ton.
PROTECTING THE PEOPLE.
In an effort to revise the land laws in
the interest of the people, sub-commit-
tee of the House Committee on Public
Lands have prepared a bill for considera-
ton, which will be presented to the
House in few days. will state, briefly,
the main provisions of this bill. Per-
sons who have purchased land from rail-
roads and paid therefor SIPS per acre,
are to be protected to the fullest extent
of the law, and receive patents from the
Government. This law, not only in
this but in its every provision. relates to
lands which have been or may be for
feited. To protect the Government the
Attorney General is instructed to bring
suit against corporations for the recoy-
cry of the money paid by settlers for
this land. Where parties have pur-
chased from the United States land in
even numbered sections in the area of
any land grant, under the superstition
that the road was to be built, thereby
insurlng them railroad facilities, but
which failed of construction, and
for which property they paid for
at the rate of $3.50 per acre are to
have one-half that amount refunded.
All forfeited land grants are to be
opened to the public at the Govern
ment rate of $1.25 per acre.
Il is matter of uncertainty as to the
reception that viii be given this bill, but
the committee are over confident that it
will become law.
REPRESENTATIVE DAVIDSON.
Representative Davidson has informed
