, Representative Herbert, of Alabama, has introduced in the House d resolu- ton providing that all lands of an arid or semi-arid character in the Western States and Territories be ceded by the United States to the several States and Territories in which they lie, provided that those States and Territories shall have first passed suitable laws controll- ing the use of water for irrigation. Mir. Herbert offers this as solution of the irrigation question, eliminating it as a national question, and giving to the several States and Territories with in the arid belt the exclusive control of their lands, involving the task and ex- pense of their reclamation.
 Mir. Herbert's bill goes further, and provides that all lands of whatever ma ture belonging to the United States and lying within the limits of any State of the Union shall be granted to the State, and the President shall issue patent as soon as the legislature of the State in dicates its acceptance of the lands. Of course this plan if adopted would in the course of few years do away with the public land system of the United States, except as applied to Alaska, the domain now belonging to the general Government being transferred to the several States and Territories respec- lively in which the lands are located. The several States and Territories would be expected to organize their own land systems, and to apply the proceeds of the sale of lands to an edu- cational fund. Texas is the only State now which has its own land system; but Mr. Herbert's bill proposes that the United States Land Office shall have nothing to occupy its attention except Indian reservations, public building sites. naval stations, military reserves, and the lands in the Territory of Alaska.

It appears that the constitutional amendment authorizing five-sixths of q jury to render verdict in all civil cases has been adopted in Minnesota. The practical working of the idea will be watched with general interest; and in the event of its reasonable success, it will soon be adopted in other States.

LORD BROOKE SEEKS A DIVORCE.


LONDON, June 1.-THE popular cru
SADIE against the prince of Wales
shows no signs of abating in strength
or bitterness. After the lecture deliv-
cred Monday night at Carnavron,
Wales, by Mr.. Henry NJ. Stanley,
the band played God Bless the
Prince of Wales The Welshmen,
however, no sooner heard the first
strains of the familiar air. than they
raised a storm of Kisses which almost
drowned the noise of the band. At
seven religious meetings held in va
rious parts of the country Monday,
the prince of Wales was roundly de-
nounced for the share he took in the
baccarat scandal. At the Methodist
conference, now being held at Leeds,
the visit to Tranby Croft was classed as
gamblers orgie."
The News says: I'VE venture to say
that the prince of Wales new departure
in substantially apologizing to parlia-
ment and to the country exhibits
a just Difference to public opin-
ion and will dispose of the whole
matter. The pain which the unpleas-
ant process must have cost the prince
will count as a part of his expiration
with every generous mind.
The Chronicle cavils at the govern
ment and the war office for providing a
cushion to soften the prince of Wales
fall Instancing the case of a private
who was degraded for shielding a COM
rade who stole trife while drunk,
the Chronicle asks: "Why should a
field marshal. the prince of Wales, be
treated differently?"
LONDON, June IA rumor-which
cannot be confrmed-is current that
Lord Brooke has filed a petition for "a
divorce from his wife on the ground
of adultery with the prince of Wales.
The intimacy between the prince of
Wales and Lady Brooke has long been
matter of common knowledge, but
it has always been regarded as a pla-
tonic attachment

rheumatism.

PEING due to the presence Of uric
u acid in the blood, is most effectually
cured by the use Of Ayers Sarsapa-
rilla. Be sure you get Ayers and no
other, and take it till the poisonous
acid is thoroughly expelled from the
system. We challenge attention TO this
testimony -
about two years ago, after suffering
for nearly two years from rheumatic
govt, being able to walk only with great
discomfort, and having tried various
remedies, including mineral waters,
without relief, l saw by an advertise
ment in Chicago paper that a man had
been relieved of this distressing com.
plant, after long suffering, by taking
Ayers Sarsaparilla. l then decided to
make trial of this medicine, and took
il regularly for eight months, and am
pleased to state that it has effected
complete cure. / have since had no re-
.urn of the disease. Mrs r. Irving

out of the sickness very much debili-
tated, with no appetite, and my system
disordered in every way. / commenced

improve at once, gaining in strength
and soon recovering my usual health.

well-known medicine" - Mrs. l.. A.

A VILLAGE IN FLAMES.

Casselman. Near ottawa, Ont, in Danger
of Total Destruction by Fire.
OTTAWA, Ont, June 17.-1he village
of Casselman, about so miles from OF
tawa, on the line of the Canada
Atlantic railway, is likely to
be entirely consumed by fire.
Passengers by the Atlantic train
from Montreal say the village, when
they passed through it, was a mass of
fire. Immense piles of lumber, meas
uring millions of feet and huge stacks
of tan bark, containing thousands of
cords, and nearly every house and
store in the village were on fire.
Men, women and children were rush
ing toward the woods in the most
frantic manner with what little
of their household effects they could
rescue from their dwellings. There
was no possibility of ascertaining
whether there had been loss of life, but
the destruction of property must have
been enormous. The village is the sec
ond largest on the Canada Atlantic line
between Ottawa and Coteau. The pop
ulation is said to be somewhere in the
vicinity of 1000.
