Land Office Consolidation.

The three land offices in Congressman

and Worthingtou-are to be consolidated.
The law places it within the discretion oil

ceipts OF land office fall so that its ex
penses exceed one-third OF the amount re-
Csived to consolidate that Office with an
other The receipts of these land Offices
have fallen very low, so that neither OF
them exceed S15,o per year.
The question of their consolidation
was referred to the commissioner d
the general land office, who has
recommended that the three offices be con-
solidated. The question has arisen as TO
where the consolidated office shall be To-
Gated. Certain influences have been Mt
work. among them it is said that OF j. f.
Meagher. to secure its location at MankR-
to. This is hardly to be considered, how
ever, as it would take the new Office at
least $50 miles away from the vacant pub
lie lands and entail great hardships upon
people with final proofs, contests or filings
to make. 1t seems pretty certain, howev-
err, that the three offices will be consoldat.

The Pope and ireland.

LONDON, April 27.-The statement that
the pope has issued decree condemning
the plan Of campaign in Ireland Is confirm.
ed. He says he does so because he is
convinced that the plan of campaign is
illegal He says he is also convinced
that the land court will reduce all unfair
rent. Another circumstance that in
hueneed him, he says, is the fact that
funds are extorted from contributors to the
plan. The pope condemns boycotting as
a practice contrary to justice and charity.
He makes no mention oil the National
league. The Dublin Freeman's journal
urges the people to exercise calmness and
patience. and To receive the papal decree
with profound respect and loyalty to
Rome. 1t declares that boycotting is rare.
The Nationalist members OF parliament
are somewhat agitated over the pops's de-
cree, and are eagerly comforting as to what
steps are necessary.
The Nstionalists have determined to con.
time the plan OF campaign in spite OF the
papal decree. 1t is asserted that the
movement will not suffer much from the
necessary detection priests who will un-
doubtedly continue to sympathize with
the people. and that the. vacancies can
easily be filled with iaymen. The matter
has caused an extremely bitter feeling
among the Nationalists, who Indignantly
resent the governments intrigues with the
Vatican.
