FACTS ABOUT Farm MORTGAGES.

One result of the discussion concern
ing farm mortgages will be to call the
attention of the statistical bureaus of
different States to the fact that there
are almost no statistics whatever on the
subject. One or two States have COM
menced collecting them, but the work is
not yet complete. 1t is an interesting
field for investigation, and n which
State statisticians should lose no time
in entering. 1t is hardly necessary to
add that the statistics should be col
lected in the interests of truth alone,
and not with a view to sustaining any
theory or the views of any political a C
ton or party. Let the facts be procured
and published impartially, no matter
what differences OF conclusions they
carry.
In the absence of statistics some very
wild and grossly false statements have
been made on the subject. Democratic
papers and speakers, in order to sustain
their theory that Western farmers were
being impoverished by protection, have
stated the farm mortgages in five States

that her absence when she was expected
home would have made her miserable,
probably Ill. This caused her to remem-
Der the ticket adventure better than she
would otherwise have done: also when she
used her little brass bound note book her
eye sometimes fell on the words: James
Jameson, Justinlee, Kingsburgh;;" and
she thought kindly of the owner of the
name, and all the circumstances of that
October dsy came up vividly before her.
William Dertram was the manager Of
paper mill, and the house he occupied

mill had lived since the mill had a being.
1t stood by the waterside in low situa-
tion-very picturesque, but not, people

theless, all It's inhabitants had been re-
markable not only for good health, but
for long life, Mrs. Bertram S nervousness
being the only chronic ailment it had
ever harbored. William Bertram was a
working man, but not baker, as Miss
Wright had suggested. His father had
not been a working man: be had been
an idle and profigate member of the
upper classes, in consequence of which
his son had begun life a good many
rounds down the social ladder Perhaps
this fact also accounted for his widows
nervousness.
There were few places that on sum-
mer day looked more sweet and dreamy
than the Bertrams' house at Oxhaugh.
1t was only five minutes walk from the
mill, and did not escape the disagreea-

pleasant. Besides, these things don't
annoy people whose hearts and interests
are in manufacture.
You could not take prettier walk of
its kind than from the railway station to
the village of Oxhaugh past the mill
The distance was mile and half On

All Settlement the Arid Lands De-
clared Illegal.


WASHINGTON CRY. June 3.-The secre-
tary OF the interior today transmitted to
the Senate an opinion by the attorney gen.
eral constituting the act Of October ?. lSsS,
which appropriated the sum of 500 900 for
investigating the extent to which the arid
region may be recovered by irrigation.
The opinion is transmitted In response to a
resolution by the Senate inquiring partly as
to the opinion of the interior department
concerning the scope and effect of the fol-
lowing section Of the act of October 2d:
And all lands which may hereafter be desig-
mated or selected by such surveys for sites Of
reservoirs bitches or canals for irhgating pur-
poses, and ail lands made susceptible for irriga-
ton by such reservoirs. bitches or canals. are
from this time hen ceforth reserved from sale -
the property Of the United States and shall not
be subject, after the passage Of this act, to
entry, settlement or occupation until further
provided By Law.
The attorney general stated his conclu-
sions as follows:
The object Of the oct 10 manifest. II was to
prevent entry upon and tho settlement and sale
Of al that part OF the arid region Of the public
lands Of the United States, which could be im-
proved by general system Of irrigation, apd
al lands which might thereafter be desjghafed
or selected by uaited states surveys as sites for
reservoirs bitches or canals in such q
syssem. II was the purpose OF con-
gress by this act TO suspend all
rights OF entry upon any lands
which would como within the improving opera
ton of the plans OF irrigation to be reported by
the directed geological survey under this act
Language could hardly be stronger than are the
words OF the act in expressing this intention.
Entries should not be permitted, therefore. on
any part OF the arid reginns which might pos
sibly come within the operation OF this act.
The general effect of this opinion, II the law is
not modified. will be TO reserve from settlement
aad entry practically the whole OF the arid re-
gsons of the West. The secretary. in his letter
OF transmitral, suggests that il congress does
fully concur In the purposes of the law, t
should take the business in han9 st once to
