The sundry civil bill carries appropria.
tions for the salaries and commissions OF
registers and receivers at the public land
offices of $4,000 This is precisely the
Same as was appropriated for this pur-
pose last year. Since tho last appropri.
alton was passed several new land offices
have been created, of which two are In
Washington, two In Montana ana two
In south Dakota. The fact that no ad.
ditional appropriation was made to pro-
vide Tor these has caused considerable
talk at the department. of the interior,
which hos laid the situation before the
committee and asked for cash to meet
the new demands. Unless this is pro-
vided for by an amendment, the depart
ment is at a loss to see where the now
officers will get their salaries.

Secretary Noble to-day decided the
case of the Northern Pacific. the Oregon
& California and tho Oregon Central
Railway Companies against Megrim II.
Brown, involving tho application to
make n homestead entry within the lin
1t OF a legislative withdrawal for the
benefit OF railway company. The
land is in Oregon, and about thirty years
ago IL was entered at the land office In
the name of some person who. so far as
tho evidence can be obtained, never had
any existence. Brown held that this
fraudulent entry reserved the land from
the grant, and that 1t was subject to en-.
try by the first conner.
Tho secretary holds that the land is
reserved, but that IL is not subject to
entry. Had the land been entered by a
qualified entryman. 1t would have been
reserved subject to entry.

Tho Irrisation Survey.

While the irrigation clause OF tho ap.

to-day, Mr. Carter, OF Montana, made n
short talk. lie claimed that the survey
of this country, whether IL resulted in
irrigation by the government or not,
was necessary and fully as important as
the coast survey. The lands were now
withdrawn from the market, and could
not o taken except where the govern

many Northern people. We have receiv;
ed so many letters of inquiry from the
North that we propose to make this let
ter of information bearing directly on the
reason why Northern people do come to
the long leaf pine region: why they
should come; what has already been
done by Northern people; and how to
get here. Physicians, both North and
South who have made it matter of re-
search, have become satisfied that the
odors emitted from the long leaf pine
become a powerful agent in the atmo-
sphere in thu relief of all throat and lung
diseases. Also that the soil from which
these pines grow, the climate in which
they grow. when combined with the pine
atmosphere, and pure water form com
bnatiOn of conditions most desirable to
human health. The climate is equable:
falling to freezing only a few times dur
ing winter; and never oppressively warm
in summer. The soil is an old sea beach:
sand to such depth that no water stands
upon ii. and it never makes mud
The people of the North will come in
to the long leaf pine region because
enough have already given it a trial to
place the good results beyond doubt.
Again. the conditions of life at the North
are gradually undermining the constitu-
lion of the people of the North. and the
conditions of life in the long leaf pine
region afford just the change needed
Asan example of what Northern people /
have done in this region. we refer to
Southern Pines and Pine Bluff. in Moore
county. North Carolina. both situated on !
the Raleigh & Augusta railroad: the for
mer sixty seven. the latter seventy five |
miles south of Raleigh. Six years ago
Southern Pines was a wilderness. To-
day it is Il handsome village, filled with
Northern settlers and visitors. 1t has
two large and good hotels. 1t is the
headquarters and residence of strong
lumber company, and the home of a
large fruit company. The place has
passed Ieyond the stage of doubt. 1t
has no boom but has honest growth Lots
at first given away to secure settlers now
sell for one hundred dollars. Pine Bluff
is another health resort with a promising
future before it. No better combination
of air, climate, soil and water can be
found on the globe. Ii was started about

have without doubt an important bear
ing On the congressional campaign:
CLAY CENTER, Kas., April 49,
Much excitement has been caused in
political circles by the congressional
district meeting of the farmers ALI
ance which has just adjourned. Though
the meeting was secret one, it was
given out that the delegates decided to
put an alliance congressional ticket in
the field, and that the reelection of
John A. Anderson will be opposed.
Eight of the ten counties in the district
were represented. OF these seven were
opposed to Anderson and one non-cOm-
initial. AS Anderson has posed as a
farmers candidate heretofore, the ac-
ton of the alliance is considered hard
blow to his prospects.

the understanding in the Fifth con-

Phillips, of Salina and Judge Sturges,
of Concordia, have formed an alliance
to secure for one or the the other the
nomination for congress. In 1878
John A. Anderson wrested the place
from Phillips at the famous Manhat-

We wish to place before the farmers
the fact that when we import manufac-
lures, we import food, as food is one
of the largest items in the cost of pro-
ducing manufactures, and during the
past year have in ported more food
in that shape than We have ever eX-
ported in single year and thus the
people of the United States after all
our boasting, are the largest importers
of food in the world. Men cannot
make goods without they eat bread,
and about 80 per cent. of the cost of
manufactures is spent for food. In
every ton of pig iron there is $l1 worth
of food. The free-traders would tickle
the vanity of the farmer, and they say
