The Northern Pacific Railroad COM
pany has made application to have the
odd numbered sections in the Cpur
d'Alene Indian reservation, recently
opened for settlement, set aside as a
part OF its grant. 1t is more than prob
able that the commissioner Of the gem
eral land office will deny the request,
on the ground that, being a reservation
at the the time the grant was made, it
can not subsequently become part Of
the grant.

through the fearful ordeal to secure the

THE NEW PARTY.
Active Preparations Are Going on

IEkkE IlAJTE, April S.-AcJlNe prep
arations are going on for the conference
of representatives of labor organizations
in Cincinnati on May 10, which will take
steps to form a third party. Captain G.
\. Power, of this city, who has taken an
active part in this matter and with
whom the names eff the delegates elected
must be filed, will leave for Cincinnati
this week to make the final arrange
ments for the conferedce. He says that
he has assurances that delegates will be
present from thirty-fve states. Cap
tain Powers says:
"As there exists some misunderstood
ing regarding the objects of this national
conference within the present year, |
will say that primarily it means the
formation of new party of the people
on the lines of reform now advocated by
the industrial organizations for relief
from the unjust financial legislation of
the last thirty years. 1t means that the
masses of the people ale ready to move
with their ballots on the hosts of plu-
tocracy that they (the people, are not
enemies-only have minor differences,
that can be easily compromised when
brought together in the proposed con-
ference, in advance of the political
scheming to confuse and divide them
next year.
''This conference will undoubtedly
formulate declaration and platform of
principles on the lines of relief demand
ed by the people and industrial organi-
izations in clear, unmistakable terms,
without cant or catch phrases on the
living issues of the day now demanding
solution. 1t will also select national
executive committee, empowered to
call, or join witt. others in calling, ma
tional nominating convention in '92,
adopt a party name and with the help of
the people put the new party candidates
who will represent them into congress
and the white house in '92.
1--WE will bury sectionalism' and in
augurate the work that will unite our
people in name and fact This confer
ence, as the calls imply, must be peo-
pies national conference, free from the
rule or control OF any one OF the several
industrial organizations or their leaders,
who will not meet and agree to cooper
ate together IN new national union
party for the best interests of the indus
trial forces, on the farms, in the work
shops and mercantile pursuits in towns
and cities
owe do not believe that the national
or state officers of the Farmers Alliance,
Knights of Labor, F. NJ B. A., Fedora
ton OF Labor, or any other organization,
have the right to bind the private judg.
ment of members in regard to their
political action, or have any right to pre-
vent local assemblies of any organization
from taking such action as they choose
to exercise in the selection of delegates
to this conference, and we invite and de-
sire the presence of delegates from local
organizations throughout the union.

The Date for Easter.
n>lf Nh

The fact that Easter falls on a very early
date this year March 29) has caused q
'friend of fact and figures" to collect some
curious statistics. In 1888, he says, Easter
fell on March 25, and it will only once
again this century, namely, in 1894, fall on
so early date. In the three following
centuries it will occur only eight times on
the same date-namely,. in 1851, 2035, 2O46,
2057, 2103, ola, 2125 and 219s.
The earliest date on which Easter can
fall is on March p. and this only in case
the moon is full on March p, when this date
happens to fall on Saturday. This combina-
ton of circumstances is extremely rare:
it occurred in 1890, 1851 and 1917. and
will happen again in 1890. 2O76 and
2iA, while during the three following
centuries it is not once ION the books at
this early date. On the other hand. Easter
never falls later than April 25 This was
the case in 1865, 1874 and 1885, and will
only happen once in the next century
namely, in 1913.
