INDENNITY SCHOOL LANDS

So great are the interests involved
in the litigation in connection with
the creation of new states that the
people often remain in ignorance of
the true effects of rulings and de-
cisions affecting millions of dollars.
Such n decision was recently rem
dered by Secretary Noble, of the in
terror department, and the people of
Washington gained property under
that decision that is certainly worth
more than u million dollars.
The case came up from the seattle
land office. One Shipley, of What
com county, made application to
enter certain lands in section SO,
township 33, range 4, in that coun-
ty, which had been selected by the
ounty commissioners as indemnity
school lands in lieu Of lands lost
to the state by reason of sections
IS and 36 being fractional from
natural causes. The register of
the land office denied the applica-
ton on the ground that the land
belonged TO the state under the terri
torial provision for indemnity for re-
duction of area from natural causes
An appeal was taken to the commits
sioner Of the general land Office, on
the ground that the state was not
entitled to indemnity for such cause.
Commissioner Stone coincided with
appellant ana reversed the decision
Of the Seattle land Office, holding
that the enabling act repealed all
prior laws relating to indemnity
lands and expressly stating his opin-
ion that the state was not entitled to
any indemnity selections in lieu of
lands lost to the state by reason of
the sections referred to being frac-
tional. From that decision the state
appealed 10 the secretary of the in
terror, alleging the findings of the
general land office as error.
The secretary of the interior over
rules the commissioner, denying the
applications for entries and holding
that the indemnity selections made
by the county commissioners before
the admission of the state are valid
and must stand.
"Assuming that the decision will
be sustained by the supreme court"
says the Fairhaven World, ut con-
firms to the state its title to very
valuable lands, not only In this
county, but in the vicinity of Seattle,

ECONOMIC FACTS.

II is high time the public were
getting down to the facts regarding
the effects of the Mckinley tariff
bill. 1t has been dosed with the
orles and opinions quite enough.
a Spokane merchant sends the
REVIEW his copy of. X. G.. Dun &
Co.'s mercantile agency notifica-
ton sheet of the latest issue. This
publication, as every merchant
knows, depends entirely upon facts,
Its very existence Is dependent
upon the accuracy of its informa-
tion.
democratic orators and demo
cratic newspapers have been harp
ing all over this state, all over the
Union In fact, about the Mckinley
bill advancing the prices Of every.
thing the farmer buys, without en-
HANGING the prices of his own prod
ucts. Here is indisputable proof
that the reverse Is the case-that
the farmer is buying at the old
prices with downward tendency
in the market, and that breadstuffs
are advancing. Here is what this
reliable trade circular says:
Business continues large in volume
and generally profitable. In many
branches there is noteworthy expansion
on account of the new opportunities
which the revised tariff gives. Prices
of stocks have been industriously as.
sailed during the past week, but have
declined comparatively little. 1t is q re.
markuble feature OF returns this year
that the Western cities appear to pros
per without the slightest regard to the
condition of business on the seaboard.
Why? Because the tariff hurts
the importers, while it stimulates
manufacturing in the interior; be-
cause the seabord cities can no
longer buy their food products in
the open markets of the world, but
are forced by the Mckinley bill to
buy of the Western farmer That
is the reason. Who can assign
another?
Again this confidential letter of
notification says:
he iron business is hesltatlng, be-
cause an unprecedented consumption
is apparently overmatched by an un.
precedented production, and Bessemer
iron is weak at Pittsburg and Philadel-
phia. But tho demand for all finished
products continues so large that the
capacity of the mills seems to be strained
to the utmost and while no advance in
prices is reported, the market is every.
where strong.
1t is thus plainly shown that not
only has there been no advance in
the articles bought by the farmer,
but that prices have declined IA trlfle
Now let us turn to farm products.
Here is the report:
The markets for breadstufrs continue
to advance. Wheat has risen l9s cents
during the week corn nearly cent, and
oats nearly 2.
No sophlstry can sweep away
these facts; they are unanswerable,
and throw strong light upon the
universal tendency of Eastern
wholesalers to unload at the old
prices under the cover of friendship
and regard for the Western farmer.

THE NEW ELECTION LAW.

The Australian ballot system has
had IA fair trial, and 1t has proved a
success. That Is, it has demonstra-
ted it's power to exert an almost
perfect check upon corruption and
bribery. OF course there were CON-
plants against the new system, and
some of them were founded upon
reason, but in every instance the
fault lay with the details of ex-
ecution, and not with the system.
For instance, there was considerable
complaint against the inaccuracy Of
the registration books held by the
election officers, many voters with
registration certificates falling to
find their names upon the trans
cribed records. Clearly the fault
lay in the transcription. Others
complained because they We're kept
waiting for booth in which to pro-
pare their ballots, because many of
the voters were unreasonably slow
in preparing their tickets. But these
objections can easily be overcome in
the future by the exercise of greater
caution aud the construction of ad-
ditional booths.
The beneticent effects Of the new
system were apparent to all OBJ
servers. The ward workers found
themselves without an occupation;
there was no buying of votes, no
bull-dozing, no disorder. In conse-
quence of the lack of campaign
funds, little or no drunkenness was
seen about the polls or in the city.
In fact, the election throughout bore
an orderly, busiiess-like aspect that
was gratifying to all lovers Of purer

politics. Instead Of corrupt APP
peal to the vicious elements, there
was legitimate expenditure of n
comparatively small amount for the
purpose of getting out the RESPONSE
BILE, home-loving element. Carriages
were sent to the homes of busy and
thoughtless citizens, and they were
urged to go to the polls and express
their convictions.
Time will still more fully demon
strate the advantages of the new
law. 1t will overcome the minor ob-
jectlons that were so annoying to q

the restraining influence upon the

COMPARE THE TWO.

Is Ii not suggestive that men of
affairs and judgment who visit
Washington agree that her re-
sources are great and the oppor-
tunities afforded all classes far be-
yond those OF the older communi.
ties, while the men who come here
and return disappointed are UNI
known obscurities, failures in life,
or spongcs upon their friends and
relatives? Ifyou have not observed
that invariable rule, compare the
two classes of men and opinions In
the future. The REVIEW has never
known 1T to fail. Here are two IL
lustrations right to the point. In a
New York paper of recent date the
following glowing description ap-
peared:
Judge Ii. G. Bond, the business manager
of the Tennessee Coal and Iron Com.
pany, of which ex-senator I. c. Platt is
president, spends considerable time in
New York, and is now at the Fifth Ave

complexion, with large face, promi-
nent nose and yellowish mustache, who

coast, part of which was spent in the
new state of Washington with Senator
Platt. "All that her people say of
Washington is true" he said to me yes.
terday, "aud great deal more which
they do not tell for fear that people Will
believe they are exaggerating. Why,
Washington will sell $50 oO0, 900 worth
OF products this year, and has only $780,,
600 people. There are not
$4,000 people anywhere else on
the face OF the globe that can equal that
record by 80 per cent. 1 can remember
when, on account of her silver mines,
Colorado first produced $40 900, 900 in a
single year. Her people and the coun
try thought it was marvellous. But she
had then nearly as great population as
Washington has now.
"The soil and earth of Washington
produce or contain everything of which
the human mind has any knowledge, as
a commodity" said Judge Bond as he
concluded his talk. Although l am

Joshua Whips, wife and three children,
who went from lie Sueur Center year
ago last April TO Spokane county, Wash
ington, returned yesterday. Mr.. Whips
gives doleful description ofthe state as
farming country, and says it is 10 place
for poor man. Between poor crops,
crop-destroying pests, low prices and
malarial fevers, there is a hard struggle
for existence.
The gentleman who brought that
notice to the REVIEW office was in

declares that he is a ne'er-do.well,

The complete novel in the Noveni-
Der number of Lippincotts Magazine
is contributed by Mrs. Jearie Gwynn
Bethany, the clever author of "The
House of Rimmon." The story is en-
titled "a Laggard in Love-" and the
scene is laid in England, principally
in what is known as the "Blacls Coun-
try" The homes and characters Of
the rustic people dwelling therein are
described with wonderfully graphic
pen, for Mrs. Bethany possesses a touch
and genius something akin to that OF
George Elliott, which enables her to
weave thrilling romance out of the
lives of tumble people. The birth
and development Of an overmastering
passion in the heart of young coun-
try maiden, and the tragic force which
it becomes, is pictured with the hands
of master. A great variety of char
actors, representing different phases
of English life, are introduced, and
all are capitallv portrayed. Without
obtruding itself, the moral of the
story is a strong and healthy one.
