To-day the county com missioners' court
purchased from the Weco Land company
the great iron bridge, paying $4,000 in
bonds. There are only six years left of the

$4,000 per snnum, it is called good

The strike In London has brought out the
fact that there are yet many American YES
sells carrying live cattle to England. 1t has
been commonly supposed that the dressed
beef trade has entirely superseded the trade
in cattle on the hoof; but that is not so.
The expectation of beef cattle has greatly
increased, and in June, July and August Of
this year the whole number of cattle exported
was 9o.S99, representing over 1877 million
pounds of beef on the hoof, worth over ST.
100000. In the same months there were over
40 million pounds of dressed beef sent
abroad, besides over 80 million pounds of
canned or cured beef. With SO big foreign
market and with such high prices for beef
for the table at home, it does seem that
Maine farmers should be able to get more
for their beef

Commissioner Tanners letter to Private
Dalzell was not intended for the public, and
1t could only have got into print through a
breach of confidence on the part of some
body. 1t was written evidently while its au-
thor was under keen sense of disappoint-
ment or conceived, injury, which accounts
probably for the freedom in which the COM
missioner INDUCES In criticism Of the other
officers In his department and of the Secre-
tary Of the Interior. The letter seems to add
another proof to the already pretty abun-
dant evidence that Corporal Tanner, though
brave and honest man, is not discreet
one, and that his sympathies are apt to sup
plant his judgment.

Unless moderation has been learned from
the rush into Oklahoma. there may be a
similar scene in Indian Territory again he i
fore long. The great Cherokee Strip, the
name given to tract Of land lying In the re-
gion of Oklahoma, and comprising several
millions Of acres. has for long time been
leased by the Indians to the cattlemen. A
congressional committee, Of which Mr..
Springer of Illinois is chairman, have been
examining the land and the Indian title to
1t. They are unanimously of the opinion
that the Cherokee patent to the strip is only
an easement and by no means fee simple.
They say that the Cherokees have ADAM
doned 1t by turning 1t over to cattle syndi-
Gates, and that consequently it must and
will revert to the government. They will,
therefore, urge upon Congress that it be
opened to settlers. This tract is many times
larger and better, too, In many parts, than
Oklahoma, and its settlement would consti-
tute large inroad upon the domain of the
tribes in Indian Territory. 1t hardly seems
possible that there could be such rush
upon the Cherokee Strip as there was upon
Oklahoma but this is getting to be very
populous country with many waiting for
free homes. Just at this time there are
large prospects ahead for the landless. In
Dakota the great Sioux reservation with its
several million acres Of land isIabout to be
thrown open. and now comes Mr.. Springer's
committee and hold out the reasonable hope
that other millions of acres may be opened
up In Iudlan Territory. Chances like these
are Of course becoming fewer; and the time
is not far distant when the unoccupied lands
Will be gone. This fact is OF course kept
well in view by those on the watch for
homes, and the opening of The new terrific
ries Will be awaited by large company. 1t
is to be hoped, however, that the specula-
tors who constituted so large pant of the
Oklahoma crowd have had enough and will
keep away.

New York is in great many respects the
best suited of any city in the country for
holding the worlds fair Of 1892. 1t is much
easier of access to foreign countries than
any inland city would be, and besides 1T is
the business and financial capital Of the
country. OF course residents of the West
and South would from considerations of per-
sonal convenience, prefer Chicago or some
Western city, but such considerations aside
probably they would agree that New York
on the whole had the strongest claims. But
the city that gets the prize has got to sho W
something more than that it Is well situated
1t must show that its citizens are so harmo-
NOUS and enthusiastic in regard to it as to
makeit reasonably certain that they will con-
tribute sufficient of money and of whaeyer
else is needed to make it a success. Unfor-
tunately for New York it is showing just
now neither harmony nor enthusiasm. There
is the biggest kind Of wrangle over the site
selected by the committee, its opponents de-
claring that 1t is job put up in the interest
of certain real estate owners and contrac-
tors. AS for money, no subscriptions have
been received of any amount, except condi-
tlonal one by Mr.. John II. Starin, and none of
the conditions Of that have yet been met.
Unless this quarrel can be compassionate at
present there seems to be little hope of
it-New York might as well bid good bye to
any prospect Of being selected as the place
for the worlds fair of 1892.
1t has become matter of common belief
that State cannot enter into any business
enterprise with profit; and, in fact, that if a
State has any resources Of lands, forests or
islands, its best course is to sell these pos
sessions to those who can manage them more
profitably. The State of Maine some years
ago relieved itself of its forests, and today
Is escaping the fancied evils Of collecting
rich revenues from valuable domain. But
aportion Of Ex-Governor Robinson's speech
at the Republican State convention in Mas
sachuSetts shows how fallacious is this idea
that State cannot reap the profits of its
own resources. In 1856 the Commonwealth
Of Massachusetts owned about 10S acres of
land in the Back Bay district in Boston. In
order to fill and improve it and put it on the
market, the Commonwealth expended mil
lion and half of dollars. Did this exten.
siye business enterprise pay? Well, the
State of Massachusetts has given to the city
of Boston and various educational institu
tions enough of the land to amount in value
to over 100000. and yet has sold enough to
bring in net cash proceeds Of nearly three
and a half million dollars. This great trans
action was carried on during thirty years,
the last sale being made in 1886 And In all
that time the lobbyists and schemers were
kept away while the work was carried on ac-
cording to business principles. Governor
Robinson was right in pointing to this as a
lasting homo. TO the Republican party of
massachusetts. 1t is also useful example
OF administration successful in saving the
pockets of the tax pavers
