acres of land, exclusive of Alaska,
still in possession of the govern
ment. The value of this remain
ing part of the public domain is
estimated at $SO0,0OO,OOO. If all
these lands. or the proceeds from
their sale in excess of the present
balance against the government,
shall be appropriated to the recla-
nation of the arid regions by
means of irrigation, such action
will be entirely in harmony with
the policy pursued by the national
government from the beginning,
viz: TO regard the public lands.
not as source of revenue, but
simply as public trust, with the
object steadilv in view of trans
ferring them to actual settlers at
the lowest possible cost and as
rapidly as may be consistent with
a healthy national development.
No political party has swerved
from this wise and benefcient
policy, and no administration of
the national government has been
false to this great trust.
In our "Homestead," "Pre-
emption,'' '.Tree Culture'' and
"Desert Land" laws-the most
humane and beneficent features OF
all our public-land legislation
the poor frontiersman has been ac-
corded a vantage and a protection
which have guarded him against
the enroachments of influence and
of wealth. Our public-land policy
has also been just and generous
toward the Indians, paternal and
kindly toward the soldier anG
sailor, while honest and upright
toward the public interests.
For the erection and sustenatior
of schools, seminaries and agricul
tural colleges the magnificent do
nation Of 7s,659,O0O acres of lant
has been made. There has beel
granted to the states for publi
Improvements 6,SO6,0OO acres o
land. One of the wisest and in it
result beneficent features of ou
, land policy has been the grantin
! of about 81, ,375, 900 acres OF publ
5 lands for the construction of wago

roads, canals and railroads. and
chiefly the latter. Within certain
limits the government has given
half the land in alternate SECTIONS
to railroad companies; but at the
same time it has doubled the price
of its remaining lands within such
limits. No other expedient has SO
effectually helped to promote
settlement, or to secure the de-
velopment Of the resources of the
country, and especially of that
vast area toward which the atten-
ton OF the country is now turned
with such deep interest-the ''arid
region" At the same time it is
the intelligent and ell-considered
verdict of the American people
that the policy of land grants went
about far enough.
The conduct of cur public land
interests is crowning glory Of
American craftsmanship and an
abiding honor to the adminlstra-
ton of our national affairs. In a
world in which every forceful man
is seeking his own it is a record
which Eliminates our civilization.
There have been heated disputa-
tions at times i'll regard to methods
of the administration and matters
of detail touching the guardianship
/ and disposition of our public lands,
but no political party line has ever
been drawn on any Of these ques-
tions. and there appears to be no
sensible excuse for such action in
the future.
The method of dividing the pub
lie lands into townships six miles
square and numbering the square
miles or 'tsections" of each in the
same uniform manner from one tc
thirty-six was devised during the
period when our national govern
ment was confe1eracy. The bill
which enacted it is dated May 90
1885, and was reported by com
mittee of which Thomas jefferson
was chairman.

A BIG FARM.

Since independence was achieved
the United States government
las been the largest owner
of arabic land on the earth.
The total area Of the ''public do
MAN," sold and unsold, amounts
to l.S49,0S2.5S7 and constitutes
y per cent. of the total area of the
United States, including Alaska.
About 100, 100000 acres of land
have been sold and donated, about
1.15O.OOO,0 remain unsold. AS
the area of Alaska is 369, $50 900
acres. the area unsoId, exclusive Of
that territory, is about 7S0, 100000
acres.
This vast landed estate, says
Joseph Nimn.o. Jr., in Frank Les
lies Illustrated Newspaper, was
acquired by the war of independ
ence, by the purchase from France
in 1903 of the enormous area
known as the province OF Louisiana.
extending from the Mississippi
river to the Pacific ocean; by the
purchase of Florida from Spain i'll
1921; by the treaty Of peace with
Mexico in 1S4S, and the supple
mental treaty of 1858, which gave
us California and brought our
southern border line down from
Oregon to where it is now; by pur-
chase of border-l lands from Texas
in 1850. and by the purchase OF
Alaska from Russia in 1867. The
cost OF the public domain for pur-
chase, quieting Indian occupancy
titles, surveys, and sale, has been
1925 cents per acre. The price
at which the public lands have
been sold have ranged 121 cents te
$3.50 per acre for agricultural
lands; $3.50 to S. per acre fol

which are sold at $40 and $40 PEI

Senator Harris has made a resolution and
there is no doubt he viii keep it. The failure
of the Senate 10 confirm the Presidents ap-
pointments has decided the Tennessee Senator
TO make motion daily to the end of the
session to go into executive session and con-
slider nominations. He finds that Mr.. Cleve-
lands nominations to the number of 277 have
been pigeonhOled. In contrast, President
Arthur made 612 nominations subsequent to
the election in 1884, and all but 20 were con-
frmed, while Mr.. Hayes nominated ESQ officials
In the same period, and but few of them were
not confirmed. The figures, it is claimed.
speak well for the present administration. The
number is not unusual-rather under than
over the number of routine appointments
But the difference comes with a decided dis
tinction- The republican presidents were
choosing officials from their own party ranks
What the republican Senators seem TO object
to is legacy of democratic ofice-holders.
They, doubtless, think they have received all
