official at the head of the department re-
solved that the actual settler, or the bona
fide taker, shall have his right conserved
under the law: that rings shall not seize
upon the domain wise Government set
apart for honest takers to occupy and
cultivate and build homes upon; an Off
cial resolutely opposed to the land specu-
lators who are through dummies under
legal guise seizing the lands intended for
the people, who will take and pay for and
cultivate and live upon. We say let us
suppose such an official in power; what
would the land-grabbers, the spectators,
the operators of dummies do about it?
They could do nothing but make the
Surveyor General defendant in possible
legal proceedings, and he could be COM
PEELED to do only that which the laws,
construed and interpreted by the courts,
require him to do.
Why not first, foremost and all the
time be for the intent, spirit and purpose
of the law which had. and has, in view
only the genuine land-taker and home
builder? No, the Bulletin is right; the
people ought TO find in the Land Office
their best friend. and if they do not, it is
because the land-jobbers find in it the
official whose hesitancy makes him, to
all intents and purposes, their best
friend and the responsible party for the
whole infamous system OF grabbing State
lands

THE REPORT OF THE ADVISORY
COMMITTEE.

The San Francisco Chronicle yesterday
published what purported to be the con-
clusions arrived at by lawyers Waters,
Hart and Pillsbury, the advisory COM
mittee to whom the Surveyor-General
submitted certain questions in regard to
his duty in the matter of lieu land appli
cations. The article was grossly inaccu-
rate and totally misleading. The written
opinion of the advisory committee was
received by the Surveyo General last
night, and we had hoped to be able to
publish it in full this morning, but when
the attorney of the RECoRD-U UNION in the
pending mandamus proceedings asked
Mr.. Keichert for the privilege of taking
copy Of the document he was refused.
The RECORD UNION is able, however,
to state exactly the conclusion reached
unanimously by the committee, and it
completely. The committee holds that
the Surveyor-General had no authority
in law to exercise the option conferred by
the Lieu Act of Congress Of February IS,
1891, and that he could not exercise that
right without some further legislation.
Also, that it is the duty of the Surveyor
General, when applications are presented
to him, to receive and file such applica-
tions Immediately; that he has no right
to reject applications. In other words, he
has no discretion, when an application is
presented to him, in determining whether
or not it should be flied, but that he must
file it and collect the fee.
The advisory committee has therefore
decided just exactly what the RECORD
UNION has declared and demanded from
the very outset, and what its representa-
tive before the committee argued. So far
the position of this paper has been sus-
tained both by the court and the advisory
committee.

WHO Is REsPoNsIRLE,

We publish this morning an editorial
from the San Francisco Bulletin of last
evening, treating this vexed lieu land
question. The article puts the blame just
where it belongs. AS the RECORD UNION
has said, the land laws relating to the
taking of lieu are not all that could be de-
sired, but they are not defective to any
extent that would do irreparable injury,
if behind them there is an administration
with an eye single to the one great aim
and purpose of granting lands to the
State-that is, that they should be admin
istered for the benefit of actual settlers,
bona fide takers who are home-builders
and soil-cultivators.
The Bulletin is right in saying that the
State Land Office-at the head of which is
the Surveyor-G General, who is ex officio
Register of the Land Office-is responsible
for the existence and the power of the
land rings. 1t is impossible for him to
evade it; for the existence of a system that
enables dummies and grabbers to seize
upon the heritage of the people he is
largely responsible. He is the center OF
the system, and but for his subserviency
the rings could do nothing.

A Trying Ordeal For a Pianist.

/ Not long ago l was in a room in
which there was an eminent pianist.
He played as, so far as know, he
alone can play one of Chopin's mas
terpieces-dowering his finger tips
with the eloquence of many voices.
Directly he had finished, the lady of
the house went sailing up to him.

Before the astonished virtuoso,
whose knowledge of English is not
profound, could get aword in edge
ways there was small child about
9 years of age planted on the music
stool with ''Ye Banks and Braes,
with variations, opened out in front
of her.
In self sufficient little nonenity,
who had mot yet learned music two

music in her, the performance was

This man was in perfect health.
He ate well, slept well, had no wor

time, who might be fairly described
as parochially overworked. His anx

insignificant trihes, but what i am
afraid of is that the dear, unsuspi.

until he acquires the tobacco habit

"Banish your idle fears, my dear
woman" replied the captain. "Sci-
ence has as yet failed to discover
any actual relation between the chg.
arctic habit and the tobacco habit.

smoke cigarettes he will never de-

The late Mr.. Rennie reported that
400, 600 tons Of mud were annually
discharged into the Thames from the
sewers Of London, and the innumer-
able shoals between the More and
the Downs amply prove that this
calculation is not exaggerated. In
days gone by, the mud dredged from
the London docks was carried by
barges to the osier forelands on the
banks of the sea, where q valuable
frontage for building and other pur-
poses was obtained. From the mud

How Revengeful Youth Fooled a Pretty
Typewriter Out of Spite.
The Office boy and the blond type
writer had quarreled 1t was over a
trivial matter, to be sure, but never
theless they were on the outs.
Both seemed spitefully revengeful,
and when one day the Office boy
played off sick and went to the base
ball game the typewriter made
known to the employer the youths
sporting proclivities. This as might
be expected caused trouble, and the
wrath of the Office boy against the
young lady with nimble fingers in
creased more and more. Days passed,
and the lad planned and dreamed Of
schemes to ''get back" at his fair tor
mentor, who stood so well in the
graces of the employer. Now on ev.

which rings when the endof the line
is reached. The Office boy knew this,
andashe watched the prettily tapered
fingers throw back the carriage at
each tap of the bell he smiled with
6endish glee.
1t was late in the afternoon. The
young lady was industriously tapping
the keys to finish the firms. CORE

letter and remarked to the Office boy
that her best young man was going
to take her to the theater that even

made the Office boy smile all the
more, for he knew that his time had
come. Els eyes seemed to say, RE
yenge is sweet" The young lady
slipped the sheet of paper into the
machine and began at lightning
speed to write from her notes.
The youth watched the carriage
sliding to and fro. He took from his
pocket rusty nail, and as the type
writer wrote on unconsciously he
tapped the bell lightly with the nail.
The young lady, never thinking,
pushed the paper upanother line and
went ON. Again the boy tapped the
bell, and again the young lady turned
the machine. This was kept up un.
til the maiden had written all there
was to write.
