WHAT II LEG L CULTlVA ZION.

The General Land Office has rendered
a decision as to what constitutes cultlva
tion under the desert land act. In the
particular case in which the decision was
rendered it was claimed that the raising
of hay crops for two seasons was suffi-
cient. The commissioner holds that this
is not sufficient. He says; "The term
cultivation in the desert land law is
held to mean the tilling of the soil by
agricultural processes in order to raise
crops; not mere irrigation. 1t is impos-
sible to determine in this case whether the
hay raised was the product of native
grasses or not. If it was, though pro-
duced by irrigation, there has not been
such cultivation shown as is required.
This decision will have widespread
effect, and it means that proof must show
the planting of seed and the resultant
crop on one.eighth of the land sought to
be patented.

GOOD ADVICE.

The San Francisco Report gives the
farmers Of California the following good
advice: "The Chinese are to have until
May 8, 1894, for registration. We hope
that, to save all misrepresentation and fu'
ture unpleasantness, they will proceed to
register and get through with the bust
ness in time, for we do not think there
will be any more extensions, for several
reasons. One is that 1894 will be a cam
paign year and the month of May will
be Just at the beginning of the campaign.
We suggest also that the California en-
ployers of Chinese, who this harvest de-
plored SO deeply the necessity of employ
ing Chinese, but could see no way of
substituting white laber on the spur OF
the moment. will proceed to make ar
rangement in good time for the employ
ment of white labor, so that they may
not be taken so terribly by surprise
another time"

BO.roN,s OLD " HIPPING-POsr


The first whipping post in Boston was
erected in front o. the old meeting house,
.ays the Boston Herald. This old meet
ing house, the First Church OF Boston,
and IN it preached the first ministers OF
the towp-John Wilson aud John Cotton
and thither went to worship John
Winthrop and Richard Bellingham and
all their Jealous Puritainical followers.
Almost every kind of misdemeanor
was punishable with whipping, and the
number OF stripes varied according to the
enormity of the offense. Here are somo
of the instances: On the Both OF Noyem-
Der, 1880, man was whipped tor shoot
ing at a fowl on the Sabbath day
whether he hit her or not is another
matter.
On the 4th Of September, 1882, man
WAS ordered "to be severely whipped for
cursing, swearing. then justifying the
same, and glorying in it," and another
man who had sold a gun, pistol, powder
aud shot to Monlowsmpate tSagamore
James, was whipped and branded in the
face with hot iron. On December 9.
1910, one Mrs, Oliver was whipped for re-
preaching the Magistrates. and she stood
without crying, and bore her punishment
with a masculine spirit, gloryiugin her
suffering" But there was something
more, for some time after "she had a
cleft stick put on her tongue halfan hour
for approaching the elders" In Septem
Der, 1861. Obadiah Holmes, for being q
Baptist, was whipped, with exceeding
severity, yet he told the Magistrates it
was as with rods of roses, although tine
blood streamed from his cut and bruised
body. Horred Gardiner, with child at
her breast, was whipped for being a
Quaker, in September, 1857. Yet in the
midst of her sufferings "she kneeled
down and prayed the Lord to forgive

our WASHINGTON LETTER.


WAsHINoToS, November %, 1893.
Representative Bourke Cochran, the
New York Congressman who has been
sat upon by Tammany because he OBJ
jected to being mere puppet OF
Croker's, threw bombshell among
his Democratic colleagues on the House
Ways and Means Committee who had
in bis absence decided that an income
tax should be attached to the new
tariff bill, when he informed them
that an Income tax imposed by
Democratic administration and Con-
gress would result In making New
York City, now the Democratic Gibral-
tar, Republican stronghold; he also
told them that this proposed tax was an
attempt by certain would-be leaders OF
the Democratic party to pander to the
Populists, and warned them that if it
was carried into effect it would prove
disastrous to the Democratic party.
Mr.. Cockran's remarks created none
tary stampede among his fellow Demo-
Gratis on the Committee, but will hardly
result in getting the income tax drop
ped from the bill.

lack of foresight and Of firmness when
frmness would have proven beneficial

work stopping the leak atthe spigot
while that Of the bunghole is going
right along all the time. Here are
two instances that will illustrate the
attitude of the spigot style of statesman:
The Postmaster General in glancing
over the list OF supplies purchased for
post offices discovered an item that
deeply aroused his anger. He was
thuuderstruck, so to speak, when he
saw that The U. S. Government actually
bought Irvine for the letter carriers to
use for tying up bundles Of mail.
slot them buy leather straps and use
them," shouted this apostle of spigot
economy, as he dictated an order that
no more Irvine was to be bought for
their use. The next great act of spigot
economy also relates to the letter
carriers. 4 llot of old cast-otf letter
carrieis ie~eIAr bags, which nave boon
from time to time forwarded to Wash.
ington by poslmasters who have made
acquisitions for new ones, have been al
considerable expense patched up. and
as long as the supply holds out they
will be sent to those postmasters wht
make acquisitions for new ones. Tit
letter carriers may feel thankful tina
they are not required to buy their owl
bags as we'll as straps.
The Democrats acknowledge tina
they are afraid to submit their TART
bill TO Dem ocratic caucus. Those il
charge of the bill say that it would
certainly be cut all to pieces if it wen
before caucus, and that they prefer t
rely upon the power Of Mr.. Cleveland
whose ideas the bill fully represents, t

there Is . strong feeling Of opposition and
