Settlers Rights.

WASHINGTON, March 2S.--The commits
sioner OF the general land office has rec
ommended to the secretaryof the interior
that suit be instituted i'll the name of the
United States to recover about 100000
acres of land situated between Raccoon
Fork and the Des Moines river, and
known as the Des Moines river lands.
Under authority of the land department a
large number OF settlers, between the years
1885 and 1860, made entry OF these
lands, but which the Des Moines Valley
Railroad company, acting under author
ity OF the state courts, has been for some
time actively engaged in dispossessing
them. Believing in the restoration Of
these lands, the 49th and 50th congresses
passed bills, but they did not receive the
approval Of the president. 1t is said that
the Iowa delegation in congress is unani-
mously in favor OF the course recommends
ed by the commissioner.

THE PRESIDENTS CANDoR.

The president is causing great deal Of
annoyance and chagrin among the politi-
clans here by his candor in describing the
kind of men he wants and the kind of
men he does not want. He is listening
attentively to what the Office seekers say,
but is all the time looking over their heads
among the people. To a delegation who
presented the name Of Il candidate for an
office, and urged his appointment on ac-
count of his poverty, the president said :;
You must not come here to ask me to
make an appointment for any such reason.
| can not give an office to.this man simply
because he is poor. While sympathize
with him, and while have seen the time
when would have liked to have any OF
flee that has good salary, don't think
it is good policy to use such arguments to
secure appointments in the public serv-

POSTAL CHANGES.
Republican congressman are agitated
over the unexpected announcement by
Postmaster General Wanamaker that OF
fensive partisanship is not to be consid-
cred valid charge to secure the dismissal
of postmasters before the expiration of
their commissions. Mr.. Wanamaker said
that the president and himself had talked
the matter over, and had decided not to
begin making discharges on those grounds.
He stated the case positively, leaving no
hope that the partisanship. charge would
be considered. This policy applies of
course to those officers who are commits
stoned for four years. 1t is likely that re-
movals OF fourtll-class postmasters will
be speedy.
