Especial Correspondence Of TEL ~INDKpENDEsr.1
ALBANY. N. Y. Jan. 1.-The name of the
man who will succeed William M. Evarts
In the United States senate would have been
known, long ago but for the fact that, as the
membership is now constituted, a vote on
joint ballot in the New York legislature
would be exceedingly close. A majority of
two makes the margin perilously small, and
gives to any one man the opportunity of
making q great deal of trouble to his party.
Seven seats are to be contested, but it is
conceded that not more than four of those
are likely to change occupants, and, as the
present incumbents are republicans, it is
quite possible that when a joint ballot is
taken, the margin will be increased from
two to ten. -Four seats gained by one side
means of course, the loss Of four seats to
the other, each seat thus gained being
equivalent to two votes. 1t may be urged
that 30 far as results are concerned. a
majority Of two is as good as a majority Of
twenty-five, n that no margin. SO long as
it is large enough to insure a choice, need
necessarily stand in the way of making
an announcement of the name of the man
to be chosen.
The truth of the matter is that the situa-
ton is a most remarkable one. II is two
months since it was known that the repub-
licsns had lost the legislature, and up 10
date not a statesman has formally an
nounced himself a candidate. Under any
other circumstances. a vigorous canvass by

make no efforts TO coerce him into going
to the national capital. There is a grow
ing conviction that when the senatorship
is disposed Of, it shall be with the under
standing that Hill shall have another term
as governor. The governor of the state is
the natural leader OF the party in the
state. No matter how commanding a man
he may be, when he leaves the ~governorsi1ip
he leaves an invulnerable stronghold. II is
q fortress from which his guns command
all the approaches to political distinction.
To relinquish it is to abandon the key to
the situation. just what it means in
The Helena independent. [volume] (Helena, Mont.) 1875-1943, 1891-01-18

the governor to be completely master of the
situation in New York when the time
for choosing delegates to the national con-
vention comes. But there is no hurry about
the senatorship just now. The first thing
is to clear up the matter Of the contested
seats. When that is done, another page of
the political programme will be unfolded.
Hill never turns a page over until he comes
to it, and one page at a time is enough for
him. You won't be able to infer the rest Of
the contents of the book, even when the
senatorship page is revealed, but You will
have a little more material for guessing
than you have now"

death, generally, in pneumonia, is heart

heart has to work harder in order to
send blood to the diseased parts, until
finally the heart uses up its nervous
energy and power SO rapidly in pumping
against the increasing resistance that it
suddenly collapses and death ensues.
Now in a case of consumption where one
lung may be destroyed, the change Is SO
gradual that the heart can without diff.

LAND LAW.
Synopsis of the PrOvisions Of the La
test U. 8. Land Law.

Through the kindness Of Henry N.
Copp, publisher, we are enabled to offer
the following synopsis of the General
Land Law of March 1891. Some ma.
terial changes are made in the law now
in force.
Section | repeats the timber culture
act, but saves the rights of all existing
entries, and gives right of Communication
to those who have for four years in good
faith tried to comply, at $l.25 per acre.
Section 2 provides modification Of the
desert land act, providing fully for actual
reclamation of the land entered, and
preventing speculative accumulation Of
the land, with saving of all rights un.
der existing entries.
Section 3 enlarges section 22SS, Re-
vised Statutes, by including reservoirs,
or bitches for irrigating purposes.
Section a repeats the presumption laws
with modification of the homestead
law, and with provisions more st riot al
to proofs at entry, and all final proofs
extending the Communication from six Il
fourteen months.
Sections and provide details as t.
final action to the Interior department Oh
final entries, and provide limitations a
to con tests, and suits to cancel patents
fixing the latter at five years as t
patents now issued, and six years as t
future ones, and provisions as to timbe
trespasses.
Section prohibits offering of publ
lands at public sale hereafter, thus pre-
venting private or cash entries.
Sections 10 to II relate to lands i
Alaska, for their acquisition for manu-
featuring and commercial purposes an
for townsites.
| Section II allows mineral entries,
addition to the maximum allowance {
800 acres allowed by existing law.
Sections Is, 10, 20 and 81 relate
bitches and reservoirs, and providing 70
their construction.
Section 90 cures defects in the titles {
settles on former Indian lands caused b
different rulings Of the department of til
Interior.
Section "a authorizes the President
set about trust reserves, where to pr
serve timber, where he he shall deem
advisable.

Some want to crush theatre hats,
Some want to keep up baseball spats;
Some want to poison all the dogs,
Some want to read all Stanley's logs;
Some want to have an Indian war,
Some want to close up every bar;
Some want to tell US when to rest,
Some want to COAX us to invest;
Some want to set the social pace,
Some want to run the human race;

Governor Colcord has issued his

April for its observance and says: II
earnestly recommend to the people OF
the State that, in conformity with usage,
they keep said day by planting trees.
shrubs and vines, and in adjoining pub.
lie and private grounds, places and ways.
Interest should be awakened not only
in the promotion of forest growth and
culture by tree planting, but in the care
and preservation Of our forests by pre-.
venting their wanton aud careless de-
struction.
The day shall be regarded as a holiday
by the public schools of the State, and it
is to be hoped its lessons will be
implanted in the minds Of the rising
generation"
Let us follow our plan Of two years
ago and make general observance Of
the day. It cannot but be beneficial.
