REGARDING MINERAL LANDS.
Extract from the Annual Report Of the Sec.
retary of the Interior.

1t is reported that the work OF ex-
amining ex parte mineral entries is in
arrears about two years and half
and i'm contested cases about two
months. There have been suspended
lists of railroad selections involving
1851 ,2O7 acres. Upon the question
as'to whether the company shall he
required to furnish mineral ailidavits
or not the question presents itself in
regard to mineral lands lying within
the grant of railroads running through
mineral belts and which would other
wise, because OF their mineral char
acter, be included within railroad
grants. Ii legislation is not made on
this subject the department will have
to decide by such light as may be
obtained as to the real nature of the
lands. 1t is deemed that n law should
be passed by congress, enabling the
land department to decide within the
reservation OF the law whether the
railroad is entitled to any concession
whatever. Mineral lands should be
preserved for the people, and there is
no clam on the part OF the railroads
not intended for them that should he
humored to the least degree beyond
the law. Protests are greatly increas-
ing, made by parties claiming to have
discovered valuable mineral deposits
upon lands entered ~ agricultural.
Regarding mining claims, the report
says there are several thousand old
mining applications, some dating back
f.,X MT nj.
have been made and the secretary
renews former recommendations that
delinquent applicants he compelled to
complete proofs and pay for claims
within the specified time or submit to
forfeiture and cancellation. 1t would
be well to have law passed making
"A certificate OF every bar to any min
ing claim based upon discovery made
subsequent to the entry.
The acting commissioner says that
special agents report that efforts have
been made by certain wealthy indi-
viduals and corporations to fraudu-
lently acquire titles to large TRACTS of
coal lands, and says extensive bodies
OF these lands, which will eventually
be OF great value, are being Illegally
appropriated, the guards and iestric-
tions of the law as it now stands
being entirely insufficient to prevent
such monopoly by yunscrupulouss specu-
latOrs. 1t is recommended that n
thorough geological survey be author
lied by congress, and that the secre-
tary be given discretionary powers to
reserve for sale all or any portion of
lands supposed to contain coal, and if
he deem it advisable to lease for %
period OF years the lands SO reserved
upon such conditions and restrictions
as will compel the lessees to furnish
settlers with coal ut moderate prices.

WAsHlNGroS, Dec. ll.-Inpursuance
of Restitution adopted by congress
in February the houses met in the
hall of the house OF representatives
today to hold centennial exercises in
commemoration oi the inauguration
oi ne FIRST president. There was liz
orally a gathering OF the nations
through the foreign legations. All
were officially represented. Added to
these were delegates from the Central
and South American republics to the
Pan American congress and mem
bers OF the marine conference. There
were also present the governors OF
twenty states, drawn hither for con
sultation regarding the memorable
ing OF congress for the erection OF n
centennial memorial building at phIla
delphia, The galleries We're packed.
Shortly before ! O'Clock the house
of representatives notified the senate
that it was in session. In II few min
utes the senate, preceded 10y the presi-
dent and vice-president, members OF
the diplomatic corps AMI supreme
court OF the United States, entered
the hall OF the house and were escorted
to seats in front OF the spea ker's desk.
Vice President Mort on took the speak
er's chair and at | o'clock called the
two houses to order in Joint session.
j. q. Butler, the senate chaplain,
opened the services with prayer.
Chief Justice Fuller, OF the supreme
court of the United States, then lie
livered an alton on the progress of
America. Washington" the orator
said, ''had become first in war not so
much hv victories over enemies, or 10y
success in strategy, a. 10y the triumphs
OF constancy which no rever>es. no
hardships, no incompetency,n no treach-
ery could shake or overcome. lie had
become first in the hearts OF his coun-
trymen because the people compre-
henled the greatness OF their leader
and recognized in him the ent ire alb
sence of personal ambition, and the
absolute love OF his country, OF them
selves and OF mankind. lie had De
come first in peace 10y bringing to n
charge the practical working of the
system he had participatedin in creating,
on behalf OF the people, whose indie
pendence he had achieved. The same
serene judgment, same sagacity. same
patience, same sense OF duty, and the
same far-sighted comprehension of he
end to be attained marked his career
from its beginning"
Referring to the fear of arbitrary
power in respect to the presidential
office. Fuller SAID: But no fear and
no jealousy could he enterta aimed of
him who had Indignantly repealed the
suggestion of the hest oval of klngIy
power. who had unsheathea his sword
with reluctance and laid IL down with
10Y; who had never sought official
position, but accepted public office as
n public trust in Difference tn SO unan-
imous a demand for his services as to
convince him OF the necessity; whose
patriotism embraced the whole colIn
try, the future greatness OF which his
prescience foresaw.' Fuller spoke OF
the ePan-American congress and a last
ting form OF government, and closed
with brilliant peoration, predicting
a grand future for the nation. Rev.
W. IL. Miiburn, chaplain of the house.
delivered IA benedietion, and while the
Marine band played national airs, the
as,emblage dispersed.

Why Farmers Fail.

An Iowa farmer in the Honest cad
gives the following reasons:
LIST. The markets, or consumers,
are too far from producers.
2d. Too high railroad freight rates.
3d. Too high rates OF interest on
borrowed capital.
ith. Too many dogs and wolves in
the country and not enough sheep.
9TH. Too much fashion, too much
whisky and tobacco, and not enough
enterprise.
9th. Too high lawyer and doctor
fees and not enough general intelli-
gence.
9TH. Too much party in politics
and not enough principle.
Sth. Too much listening to farmers
enemies and too little seekin. for com
mon sense for IA guide.
9th. business as now conducted
gives the farmer no part in making
prices. When he sells, the dealer
makes the price OF his produce; when
he buys the merchant name, the price
he must pay, and both are generally
against the farmer.
10th. The farmers greatest volun-
tary act which enters into his failures
Is the utterly heartless manner in
which he unhitches from a machine
which has plowed his corn, moved his
hay or cut and bound his grain. leav-
Ing it to rot and rust in the field for
the next eleven months.
