THE LAND LAWS.


 In the administration of the land laws, the policy of facilitating, in every proper way, the adjustment of the honest claims of indi- vidual settlers upon the public lands has been pursued. The number of pending cases had during the proceeding administra- tion been greatly increased under the opera tion of orders for a time suspsnding action In large part of the cases originating in the West and northwest, and by the subsequent use of unusual methods of examination.
 Only those who are familiar with tho con- ditions under which our agricultural lands have been settled can appreciate the serious and often fatal consequences to tho settler of policy which puts his title under suspicion or delays the issuance of his patent. While care is taken to prevent and expose fraud, 1t should not be imputed without reason. The manifest purpose of the homestead and pre-. of the pablic domain by persons having bona fde intent to make a home upon the selected lands. Where this intent Is well established and the requirements of the law have been substantially complied with, the claimant is entitled to the prompt and friend ly consideration of his case. But where there is reason to believe that the claimant is the mere agent of another who is seeking to svsde law intended to promote small hold- ings and to secure by fraudulent methods large tracts of timber and other lands, 10th prin- cipal and agent should not only be thwarted In their fraudulent purpose, but should be made to feel the full penalties of our crimi. nal statutes. The laws should be 80 admin istered as not to confound these two classes and to visit penalties only upon tho latter.
 The unsettled state of the titles to large bodies of lands in the territories of New Mexico and Arizona has greatly retarded the development of those territories. Provision should be made by law for the prompt trial and Anal adjustment before judicial tribunal or commission of all claims based upon Mex. ican grants. It is not just to an intelligent and snterprising people that their peace should be disturbed and their prosperity rs- tarded by these old contentious. Iexpress the hope that differences of opinion as to methods may yield to the urgency of the

PxRlIs or RAILROAD MEN.


 The attention of the interstate commerce commission has been called to the urgent need of congressional legislation for the bet tor protection for the lives and limbs of those engaged in operating the great interstate yardmen and brakemen. A petition signed by nearly ten thousand railway brakemen was presented to the commission, asking that steps might be taken to bring about the use of automatic brakes and couplers on freight cars. At . meeting of State railroad com. missioners and their accredited representa- lives. held at Washington in March laat, upon the invitation of the interstate commerce commission, Q resolution was unanimously adopted urging the commission to consider what can Dc done to prevent the loss of life and limb in coupling and uncoupling freight ears and in handling the brakes of such cars.

 R. !. Reilly, an attorney of Meriden, was yesterday disbarred for getting admitted to the bar on false pretences. Lawyer John Barrett, of Meriden, was suspended for one year for giving Reilly certificate stating that he had studied law for two years.
Morning journal and courier., 1889-12-04

2,000 railroad employees were killed in service and more than 2,0O0 injured. It is compe- tent, think, for Congress to require uni- formity in the construction of cars used in interstate commerce and the use of improved safety appliances upon such trains. Time will be necessary to make the needed changes, but an earnest and intelligent beginning should be made at once. It is . reproach to our civilization that any class of American workmen should in the pursuit of necessary and useful vocation, be subjected to peril of life and limb as great as that of soldier in time of war.
 THE WORLDS FAIR.
 The proposition to observe the four hum dredth anniversary of the discovery of Amer ica by the opening of a Worlds fair or exposition in some one of our great cities will be presented for the consideration of Con- gress.
 THE CIVIL SERVICE COMMISSION. On the 4th of March last the civil service commission had but a single member. The vacancies were filled on the 7th of May and since then the commissioners have been in- dustriously though with an inadequate force, engaged in extending the law. They wore assured by me that cordial support would be given them in the faithful and impartial enfereement of the statute and of the rules and regulations adopted in aid of it. There fore the book of eligibles has been closed to everyone. except as certifcations were made upon the requisition of. the appointing eff osrs. This secrecy was the source of much suspicion and of many charges of favoritism in the administration of the law-what is secret is always suspected; what is open can be judged. The commission, with the full approval of all its members, has now opened the list of eligibles to the public. The eligi- ble lists for the classified postofices and cus- tom houses are now publicly posted in the respective offices, as are also the certificates for appointments. The purpose of the civil service law was absolutely to exclude any other consideration in connection with ap- pointments under it than that of merit as tested by the examination. The business proceeds upon the theory that both the ex- amining boards and the appointing officers are absolutely ignorant as to the political views and associations Of all persons on the civil service lists. It is not too mt. .h to say, however, that some recent congressional inc
 vestigations have somewhat shaken public confidence in the impartiality of the selec. tions for appointment.
 The reform of the civil service will make
 no safe or satisfactory advance until the present laws are we'll established iu the con- fidenos of the people. 1t will be my pleasure,
 as it is duty, to see that the law is executed
 with frmness and impartiality. If some of
 these provisions have been fraudulently evaded by appointing officers, our resentment should not suggest repeal of the law. but reform in its administration. We have one view of the matter and hold it with a sheer ity that is not affected by the consideration that the party to which we belong is for a time in power.

PENSIONS.

The law now provides pension for every soldier and sailor who was mustered in the service of the United States during the civil war snd h now suffering from wounds or disease having an origin in the service and In the line of duty. Two or three necessary facts, viz: muster and disability, are usually susceptible of easy proof; but the third, origin in the service, is often difficult, and in many deserving cases impossible to estab- fish. That very many of those who endured the hardships of our most bloody and arduous campaigns, are now disabled from disease that had e real, but not traceable origin in the service, do not doubt. Besides these is another class composed of men, many of whom served an enlistment of three full years and of re-enlisted veterans who added . fourth year of service, who escaped the casualtiss of battle and the assaults of dis. ease, who were always ready for any detail, who were in every battle line of their command and were mustered out in sound health, and have, since the close of the war, while fgting with the same indomitable and independents spirits, the contests of civil life, been overcome by disease or casualty.
 am not unaware that the pension roll al- ready involves very large annual expendi- turs. Neither am deterred by that fact from recommending that Congress grant Q pension to such honorably discharged sol- diers and sailors of the civil war as having rendered substantial service during the war are now dependent upon their own labor for . maintainance, and by disease or casualty are incapaoitated from earning 1t. Many of the men who would be included in this form of relief are now dependent upon public aid and 1t does not, in my judgment, consist with national honor that they shall continue to subsist upon the local relief given indis- oriminately to paupers, instead of upon the special and generous provision of the nation they served 90 gallantly and unselnshly. Our people will, am sure, very generally ap- prove such legislation. And I am equally sure that the survivors of tho Union army and navy will feel grateful sense of relief when this worthy and suffering class of their comrades is fairly cared for. There are some manifest inequalities in the existing law that should be remsdied. To some of these the secretary of the interior has called stten. tion.
 It is gratifying to be able to state that, by the adoption of new and better methods in the war department, the calls of the pension ofice for information as to the military and hospital records of pension claimants are more promptly secured, and the injurious and vsxatious delays that have heretofore occurred arc entirely avoided. This will fa- cilitats greatly the adjustment of all pend- ing claims.

1t now seems that President Cleveland
snubbed Senator Ingalls, by not asking
him TO the State dinner on Thursday
night, and It Is said that this is the first
time In the history of the nation that the
acting Vice President did not occupy q
prominent position at the table. It IL
quite likely that Senator Ingalls, can
stand it as long as President Cleveland
can.
1t will be remembered that both Prosi-
dent Cleveland and his wife snubbed
Cover nor Foraker and his wife, of Ohio,
ut the Constitutional Centennial at Phila-
delphia little over year ago II must
be preAt surprise to Cleveland to find
that Governor Foraker still lives and con-
tinues very lively kind Of an American
citizen. 1t is even believed that Senator
ingalls, will pull through the terrible
ordeal OF Presidential snubblng through
which he is passing, and may yet sit at
President HarrlsOn's table, while Clevs-
land will be, by the force of public opin-
ion, compelled to live In obscure retire
ment. Nobody cares much for Cleveland's

was undoubtedly troubled with chronic
indigestion. Her yictuals, like those OF
many other elderly persons whose diges-

agree with her. This was before the era
of Hostetter's Stomach Bitters, or some
one OF her numerous friends and relatives
would undoubtedly have persuaded her
TO try the great specific Tor dyspepsia, CON

have been measure OF selfprotection on
their part, for she would soon have been
cured and ceased TO disturb them with
her clamor. The most obstinate cases of
