will now quote from the report OF
tho surveyor general OF my State to
the Commissioner of the General
Land Office, giving his estimates
necessary for surveys of the fiscal wear
ending June 80, 1898, viz:
The urgency of large appropri.
alton for field surveying service in this
State is hey question. In all parts
OF the State settlements are far ahead
OF the surveys, aud besides this the
State has large donations of land 70,
schools and other purposes, which
must be selected from thu unsettled
public lands, almost all of which are
unsu:veyed. The State land com.
m'ssloners have asked for surveys
amounting to almost the entire up>
portionment for the State for the fiscal
year 1892. To enable the State to
get the lands donated the surveys
should be made ahead of the settle,
ments. AS OILY about one third of
the available lands of the State are
now surveyed, do not think the
amount asked for is too large.
Mr.. President, now repeat that a
liberal appropriation for the surveys
of tie public lands should be made;
otherwise the public lauds States, but
more especially the new States, will
suffer an irreparable loss. Idaho
alone shomld have $4,000 cut of the
present appropriation.
The total distribution out of the
appropriation for surveys for the past
five years for Idaho was $79,33S.
During the same period the cash re-
reipt from sales of lands in my State
amounted to nearly 100000, and
much more would have been realized
by the Government had the appor.
tionmeDt been sufficient for examina.
ton of the work of the surveyors and
Tor the office of the surveyor general
II the State.
1t should be understood by Congress
hat while the appropriation for sur.
1eys of public lands Is of great value
% the public,lands States, that it is
out temporary loan. 1t is provided
~ law that the money expended FOR
he survey of the Northern Pacific
Railway land grant shall be reful ded
o the Government by said company,
md the receipts from the sales of
public lands are many times greater
han all the charges against them.
Surely the House would not have
educed the appropriation for surveys
o such an insignificant amount had
fully understood its Importance to
he people Of the West, and that any
mount appropriated for this purpose
} soon returned, bringing u large
venue with it from the sale of lands,

My State alone has an area of &C..
90 square miles, and the surveyor.

lct that not more than one. third of

By far the greater portion of the

appropriation, must of necessity he

! am clearly OF the opinion that at
least $4,000 will be needed for ex.

Free Mails in Towns.

SOLITARY and alone" as Mr.. BENTON said
in introducing his expunging resolution,
SOLITARY and alone" the DISPATCH set
IN motion" the ball which promises now
TO give to all the towns In the whole coun-
try free mails We modestly proposed
years ago that mail matter should be de-
livered free in ali towns containing Dopu-
lation enough TO require the services every
day of one man in order 20 provide such
free delivery. Postmaster-GeneralW ASA-
MAKER proposes more liberal bill; and
the Legislature of Vermont has passed the
following resolution:
Whereas a free delivery of the mats in all
towns would greatly promote the welfare, hap
piness and prosperity of the people and mate
rally increase the value Of real estate Ia agri-
cultural communities; therefore,
" Resolped BY the Senate and House Of Repre-
seatat,pes, That our Senators and Represents
tiyes In Congress are hereby requested TO use
their best efforts 20 secure the enactment OF
such laws as shall achieve that result"
IL had never occurred TO us that general
tree delivery would materially increase
the value of real estate" but we are in.
clined 20 think that that would be one of
the results OF the kind of free delivery
favored by the Green Mountain State.
Free delivery, pneumatic tubes, electric
propulsion. straight railroads, and all
other such things will aid in the work of
postal reform.

Cleveland and the Police.

We do not credit the report that Mr..
CLEVELAND is under police protection and
that detective or other officers are hence
forth TO GO with him wherever he goes in
public.
Nor do we think that he is in any danger
from cranks. II he were a man of less posi-
tiveness of character he might DO in great
danger of being bored to death by Office
seekers; but his notice lately served-that
the men who bother him most now are
likely TO be those who will get least con-
sideration from him when he comes into
ofice-has headed of a good many per-
sons who would like to speak TO him per-
sonally IN eloquent eulogy of their claims.
Upon the whole, we conclude that Gro
YER can take care of himself; though it
would be beautiful idea for the Office
seekers 70 form themselves into body
guard and swear neither TO speak 10 him
themselves nor to permit others to speak
to or otherwise obtrude upon him. They
could all take the oath that the clerk of
the court administers 70 the deputy
sherifs or sergeants or bailiffs when he
commits hung jury to their charge.
