TIMBER on PUBLIC LANDS.

The TRIBUNE is in receipt OF the fol
lowing letter under recent date which
explains itself:
Editor of the Tribune: Please state
in some issue of the TRIBUNE whether
timber is free to settlers for agriculture
purposes 1t has been the custom foI
settlers to take what they wanted fol
firewood, fencing and building from the
public domain without let or hindrance
Lately, however. persons from other
states have come to take up land and
threaten to fence us older settlers off
from timber. All of the said timber is
on unsurveyed land. Others again have
plowed a few burrows with the evident
intention OF stopping the timber roads.
ny setting us right on this question you
will confer a favor on
MANYS SETTLERS.
L. s.. In case such timber roads are
stopped by a fence would any person
wanting timber be justified in breaking
down that fence?. NJ. S.
Some time ago the TRIBUNE published
a synopsis of the new law concerning the
taking of timber from the public domain.
Under the law any person, farmer, stock
man, mechanic or business man can 90
upon the timber lands of the government
and cut all the timber he requires for
fuel, fencing, building or for any other
domestic purpose in the state, without
let or hindrance. 1t makes no difference
whether the lands upon which the tim
Der grows be surveyed or unsurveyed. |
The only restriction placed upon its cut
ting is that the timber cut shall not be
exported to another state. and that if
cannot be cut for sale in the state unless
the woodchopper first obtains a permit
from the interior department to cut and
sell timber from government lands.
No man can fence another from the
streams and timber lands of the state,
unless such fence shall inclose his own
premises and do not run across a public
thoroughfarc. III such fence interfere
or stop travel to and from the pub
lie timber lands, such fence may be re-
moved by law, If the fence be upon the
public domain many settlers may
break it down with impunity.

THE Portland Oregonian does not be
lieve in nominating a mar for the presi
dency simply because he is rich. Ate,
mentioning the fact that no mau Of
great wealth-except Washington, who
was worth less than a million dollars
has beer elected to the presidency. il
proceeds to discuss Ayers candidacy in
very uncomplimentary terms. in which
1t says: Looked at seriously, it is a
shameful thing that a man should as
pire to the presidency simply because he
is rich, A rich president might be en-
dured, though it never has been; but
a president with no other qualifica-
ton than riches. When the American
people really begin to take General AL
gers candidacy seriously, they will make
short work of him." Between lines it
that the Oregonian is for Blaine.

SERMONS ON BI-METILLISM.

Now and then a Wall street organ il
forced to admit that the next congress,
VIII witness a victory for silver. At tn,
not late Ohio republican convention Mr.
Foster, secretary of the treasury, adj
mitted that a single standard of value
based upon either gold or silver is toe
narrow a basis upon which to conduct
the present enormous business of the
world. This is what the friends of sill,
yer said years ago. They say the same
now. Ii Mr.. Foster means anything he
means to say that the insuficiency of
gold to serve as a single standard of
value is a fact which is being so forcibly
demonstrated by experience that even
the not overnight gentlemen who COM
pose the administration at Washington
can not help seeing it. The fact is in
deed getting as plain as the MONDAY
sun. AS truthfully noted by the Provi-
dence journal: "We see the stock of gold
that is available for money
surging back and forth from nation to
nation as one after another makes a des-
perate bid for it in order to strengthen
their inadequate and shaky financial
systems. We see values unsettled and
dangers Of the gravest character invited
by this instability and constant shifting
of the metal reserve. We see in our own
country the governments note %circula-
ton growing rapidly larger, while the
supplies of metal on which the notes are
based are all the time growing smaller;
and there can be no question. therefore,
that something ought to be done at the
possible moment to check the
present tendency"
When the Bland act was under discus
sion in 1878 John Sherman. the head
of the gold bugs and the high
cock -alorum of the republican party on
finance, held and expressed the opinion
the coinage of fifty million of stand
ard dollars would result in the expulsion
Of all the gold from the United States.
AS the San Francisco Chronicle SAYS:
He declared that the coinage of stand
ird dollars would destroy u credit at
home and abroad and make it impossible
o refund our debt. Yet see how the
vent falsitied his predictions. We have
oihed eight time fifty millions of stand
rd dollars, and the country has accum-
lated, while the work of coinage was in
rocess, more gold than the most ex-
monometalist ever dreamed of, ,
nd our credit has so improved in the ,
that we are now paying, or {
Ill shortly pay, . per cent interest on 6
.vernment bonds as against G per cent,
rate prevailing when the Bland act

These are convincing on BIZ c
uttered by two of the most @
rominent gold bug republicans in the c
The failure of Sherman's pre- v
.lctions, supplemented by Fosters adj C
ission, constitute the body of the SER t

THAT X LETTER.

The Inter Mountain recently publish
ed a letter written by Mr.. Cakes of the
Northern Pacific, under date of March
D, 1888, in which that gentleman takes
the following ground in support of the
claim OF that corporation to 100000
acres of the mineral lands of the state.
The miners of the state should read this
portion of it:
You speak of the 'rapacity of the rail
roads and intimate that this is
asserting title to lands which do not
rlghtfully belong to it. Will you permit
me to state the facts as they are: The
company has a grant extending through
Montana from east to west. for the entire
length OF the territory. Lands known to
contain minerals are exempted by the
granting act from the operation of the
grant. Mark the p%hraseology: Lands
known to contain mineral not lands
supposed to contain minerals, or lands
Whlsh may at some time in the fu-
ture be found to contain minerals. The
grant is not to be suspended indefinitely
waiting for miners and prospectors to
explorations, but when the gov
eminent surveys are made, such of the
sections included in the granting act as
at that time are not known to contain
mineral are patented to the company.
settles the matter SO far as title to
those sections is concerned, and no future
discovery of minerals invalidates the
title. This is not only law, but equity
and common sense. Montana has been
searched for the precious metals for
than a quarter Of a century. The
Pacific was built through the
territory five years 70.

IT would appear that the Coal Creek
miners are inviting serious trouble with
the state authorities. The absence of
prudent leadership is very apparent. No
sensible men who are rightly informed
upon the matter would capture troops of
the state and send them away. 1t is a
h~igh-handed outrage which is being re-
sented by every law-abiding citizen of
that state.

never sold SO low in the American mar
ket as it does today. 1t is a case where

NAVAL GUN s.


The Glass on the Italian War Vessels
Have Proved a Failure.
It will be observed, says the New
York Tribune, that in the list of the
Italian war vessels published by us
yesterday the ten battle-ships are armed
with 106-ton and 110-ton Tor 179-inch
caliber) Armstrong guns. These are
the same size guns which have given SO
much trouble in the British navy for
the last three years; in fact, they have
proved a failure. All naval men who
have had any experience with these
great guns are agreed that they are
monstrous abortion; and probably the
Italians will come to the same conclusion
if they ever get a chance to fire them:
They have ''drooped at the muzzle, -
and "kinked at the bore" they have
become disabled after firing the third
round" and they have not yet been
found sufficiently strong or scientifically
built to stand the shocks, even when
fired with reduced charges. In several
instances also the guns crews have
been fatally reduced in number. The
battle-ships themselves have been seri-
ously damaged from the conclusion of
firing, as, for instance, in the cases of
the Sanparell, the Victoria, the Blake
ana OInerS Wnlcn mlgnC De named. II
is hard to see how anyone can be found
to advocate such big guns for war ships.
That the United States naval ordnance
experts have followed the most sensi
BILE idea in making their largest guns of
10 and Pinch calibers is proven by &C
tual experiment. For instance, at a
recent test with the English S-inch gun
the projectiles pierced twenty-One
inches of steel armor, and this is about
the extreme thickness of armor belt.

The Grippe In Japan.

The remarkable peculiarly Of the
grippe in Japan was its prevalence among
the upper classes, whereas the cholera
selected its victims among the poorer
people. Some idea of the extent of the
epidemic may be gathered from the fact
that, at Yokohama, the sufferers
officially reported numbered over
$4,000, and it is estimated that the unre-
ported cases throughout the prefecture
were nearly twice as great. Of the
10000 inhabitants of Kobe, 25,0 900 were
attacked by the disease. In Toxic the

BY JOHN SAMUEL GRIFFITH.
A face l often see in dreams.
A face so regal, SO fair,
Not one in all the wide, wide world
so grand, so lovely, SO rare.
A face with wonderful expression,
Bright as the sun at dawn,
Bright as the stars that glitter;
Eyes Ikea wonderful tawn,
Hair that ripn1es like tiny waves
When the wind gently kisses the sea,
Oh, that face that lovely face,
That is always visiting me.
