CENsURING ALL CONCERNED.
Secretary Mobiles Action in the Case Of
An Illegally Issued Land Patent.

Secretary Noble has rendered an opinion
upon the report of board appointed by Com
missioner Croft of the general land Office to
examine into the facts and circumstances con-
corning the illegal issue on November 20, 1882
to Thos. Reed of patent to 112 acres of land,
said to contain very valuable mineral deposits
in the Duluth, Mimi, land district The in
vestigation was based upon the fact that at the
time the patent was issued the question of title
to the land was pending before the department
After reviewing the facts as presented by the
board the Secretary severely condems the
ton of the parties who to anticipate, it is init
mated, the adverse action Of the department.,
procured the record of the patent at the Du-
luth land Office at 3:15 o'clock in the afternoon
of the day on which the commissioner had at
4 o'clock telegraphed for its return to the de-
partment, Il therefore concluded" adds the
Secretary "that Mr.. w. B. Douglass, the gen.
eral land Office clerk who approved the entry
for patent, has inexplicably neglected his
plain and easy duty and must be dis
missed from the service of tie
United States; that the recorder OF the general
land office flames NJ. Townsendl in the con-
duct Of this business, violated the strict rules
that should have controlled him; that the
attorneys in the case, Messrs. Harrison,
Herring and Seymour, who were
acting for Hartman and NAL
let (Reed's grantees), one and all, by their
methods of practice and by their silence when
they should have spoken to the government
officials regarding the patents existence
when they knew it to be illegally
issued, have rendered it proper and neces-
sary that their professional conduct be
inquired into under the rules Of the depart
ment which entitle them to further hearing
on due notice." The Secretary further states
that Mr.. Reed, the Germania Iron Company,
Mr.. Mallet, Mr.. Hartman and others
in interest can unite in release
Of all their rights and title
under the patent and that il this is done the
parties cannot be prejudiced in any further
proceedings upon the cases now before the Sec
Rotary. He further says that there can be no
doubt that the patent must and will be cancelled,
and he therefore orders that the patent be i'm
pounded by the commissioner of the general
land Office as the property Of the United States
and for such further order as to its disposition
| as the Secretary may direct upon further con-
alteration of this business,

WHAT AN ADVERTISEMENT SHOULD Be,
ITS USE AND ABUSE.

AS this is intended for the pros
oective purchaser, not for the in
struction of the advertiser, we
shall limit our remarks to a few
questions and answers suitable to
our purpose.
That judicious advertising pays
IS a fact no longer doubted by the
wide-awake merchant. But what
is judicious advertising?
An advertisement that is not a
statement of plain facts-that
lacks the impress of unvarnished
truth-that borders on the realm
of fiction-such an advertisement
is not only soon detected but as
certainly avoided-no matter how
adroitly the advertiser seeks the
ear of the public.
To gain the confidence of the
public, simply to advertise will
not suffice; the merchant must
keep faith with his customers; he
must do what he advertises, and
have what he advertises. Such
advertisements are sought out by
the reader in the hope that it may
contain an announcement of a
special bargain offered, or to as
certain the price of something he
contemplates purchasing.
We do not pay out our money
for printers ink because it is a
custom-we calculate its effect,
and estimate the outlay to a pro-
porionate gain.

names, while the other copied
them down, and so Smith, John.
OF the one appeared John Smith in the
other. The election officers Of precinct
81 were not alone in this matter. There
is a duly certified copy Of the poll
list Of precinct II, which is
in alphabetical order precisely rs
is precinct "a. 1t is true that there
was no attempt to disfranchise the 1879
voters at precinct II, because the clerks
of election, over whom they had no con-
troll, saw fit to return the poll-list of
their names in the order Of the alphabet.
The votes there were two to ono in favor
of the republican party.
It is mere technically to say that
there were three judges instead Of five.
The precinct was a new one, small one.
The county commissioners had no evil
dence before them Of the probable num-
Der Of voters. The majority Of that
board was republican. To take advant-
age Of such state of affairs is to put a
deadly weapon in the power Of an opposi.
ton that has already got the whip-hand.
A house almost in contact with the
election tent cannot with fairness, we
protest, be called SECRET and secluded"
place. We have the sworn affidavits Of the
two judges, who were republicans, that
all who saw fit to enter did enter. They
were not ambitious for an attack OF
pneumonia and kept the door shut in
such weather. It was not locked.
Much has been made Of the
paper that was pasted ove1
window Of the house where the count
was held. It was established by incon
testable proof before the court of the
state of Montana that the paper had
been pasted over the window months
before, and that, even as it was, it was
only pasted over lower pane of glass
and person, standing on the outside
could see over it and into the room.
We have the sworn affidavits Of al
three judges and both clerks that the
votes were counted on the evening o.
election day, and in the same afidaviti
both clerks make oath that they signec
and attested the returns on the same
occasion. It is absurd to say that two
of the judges banished the third. IT We
are to believe the sworn statement o.
that third, it is untrue. He makes oath
that during all the legal hours of polling
he was personally present, as he was
during the entire count and canvass
which were held in the evening.
Such is review, as brief as may be, o.
the facts Of precinct "a, and of the friv
olous objections that found weight with
the returning board. A chain is nc
stronger than it's weakest link. Wher
every link is rotten, the power OF the
chain is minus quantity. There is nc
more prominent issue than this before
the people of the state, and We cannot
believe that the conservative portion Of
the republican party will care to endorse
the action of the state-stealers by vote
for Carter this fall. ~

here for the hret time We draw an lnIer-
ence; everything SO far been facts, sworn

pie as to enforce belief. The registry
law of March, 1889, provided for the first
time for ''check lists" They were to be
compiled by the registry agent. They
we're to contain the names Of all the elect
ors at each precinct. These names were to
be alphabetically arranged, the sirname
first. In blank column to the right
the judges OF election were required to
check the names Of those voting by some
such character as v. This was done in
precinct 81, but the judges seem to have
imagined check list was a novelty
that that dispensed with the necessity
of keeping a separate poll list. They
were mistaken, but the inference is q
natural one. When the election was
over, they made up what they called a
poll list by copying on another paper the
checked names in-of course alphabet.

list. The check list preserved q com.
