THE LIEU LAND MATTER.

The RECoRD-UNIoN's article on lieu
est and aroused attention. Out of it only
good can come. Where there is straight
dealing no harm can be taken from any
discussion of public business; where
there is any fraudulent play discussion in
the open will tend to develop it. What
the RECoRD-UNIoN demands in the matter
is simple justice to the State and the
people, and the upholding of every official
and other act that will tend to defeat any
imposition upon the State and the ex-
posure of all fraudulent devices relative
to manipulation of lieu rights by land
schemers.
Assuming that honest officials second
heartily any and all activity to defeat
fraud, the RECoRD-UNIoN renews its
warning of the danger of purchasing
lands selected in lieu of lands declared to
be mineral fraudulently. We called at
tention in our article of Wednesday to an
instance of United States officer having
returned surveys of the northerly portion
of township, saying that he had sur
veyed down to the north line of section Is,
and that in his opinion the surveyed land
was mineral; and, also, that in his judg-
ment the unsurveyed land was mineral.
We added that such report had been
deemed sufficient to claim the exercise of
lieu right for more than 1000 acres, and
that in such way the exercise of lieu right
was created and made the basis for specu-
lative operations by private firms who
thus practically sell the State lands for
private gain.
1t is of first importance that honest
buyers get sound title, and hence it is
that the warning is repeated, that there is
great danger in purchasing lands selected
in lieu of lands declared to be mineral
fraudulently. The lieu right exercised
under the claim of mineral character is
contestible, and under that right to con-
test the fraudulent character of the basis
for lieu may be shown, and the exercise
of the right to select be declared void
and be set aside. 1t is dangerous to
buy of the manipulators, and the danger
relates to the very genesis of title. When
ever this danger can be pointed out and
its specific character indicated, the
RECORD UNION will not hesitate an in
slant to do it.

guards or guides to keep him free from
his old companionship. He is Stunned
by society, lured by his old associates in
crime, blackmailed by ex-convicts if he
tries to live decentlife, and finally drifts
back through liquor dens and low inhu-
ences into criminal ways.
Under regulations of parole he will be
able to defy the ex-convicts, the criminal
class, and will have before him con-
stantly the peril of forfeiture of the trust
reposed in him. These regulations will
require him to report regularly his do
ings, TO account for his earnings. to secure
the Endorsement of his statements by Off
cials and his employers or neighbors, and
so on. They will probably provide refuge
for him by permitting him if sore beset
to return to prison and serve his time
out there, and thus he will always feel
that the State has his welfare at heart
and that he need not return to crime to
secure the necessities of life.
This is what the San Francisco press
assumes to call jail delivery and to de-
nounce as an infamous measure. 1t is
not infamous in New York under the
Elmira system, but beneficent: it is not
bad in Ohio, but proved by experience to
be good and to lead to the chief pur-
pose Of punishment, reformation, since
reformation of the criminal is protection
to society. Parole will speedily deter
mine which are the incorrigibles, those
who cannot be reformed; it will iden-
tify which are those who, for the protec-
ton of society, must be separated per-
manently and secluded that society
may be protected from their ravaging,
that the people may be saved the cost OF
repeated detections and return TO prison,
and that in future-perhaps not the dis
slant future-those who must be ex-
terminated, at least prevented from re-
producing their kind, may be selected.
The parole system is by no means q
sovereign remedy for crime; it is not
claimed for it that it will solve the ques-
ton, "What shall we do with our crimi-
nal class?" but it is a step in the direc-
ton of wise management of the convict
class; in economy of prison maintenance;
it tends to clear the public mind of a false
idea of government, that the attitude OF
the law must be one of vengefulness
toward offenders; it tends to correct the
generally accepted and false idea that
legal punishment for crime means Sc
verify and infliction of suffering, instead
of control for general security and reform
alton as preventive and economic.

a NOVEL SCHEME.

At Union Springs, n. Y, a new plan
for managing the liquor traffic is to be
tried by the Protestant Episcopal and
Catholic clergy of the place. They pro-
pose to buy out all the places where liq-
uors are sold, to take charge of them,
or enough to meet demand, and conduct
them according to this code:
We will allow no man to pay for another
mans drink. We will permit no drunken
ness, nor any approach TO it. We Will allow
no one apparently under the legal age within
our doors. We Will sell TO no man If by the
proper persons we are forbidden SO to do, To
certain other persons, their names to be
passed upon by majority of the committee,
we will not sell at all. We will not sell spirits
in larger quantities than single glass ex-
cept on q physicians order, ana of all such
sales we viii keep a record. These and such
other wholesome rules as rom time to time
we may deem desirable, we will enforce. Our
entire profits, which Will be large. will be
handed over as frequently as possible to the
Town authorities with the understanding
that they will be used for the purpose of re-
ducing the taxation OF the town.
This plan, if the gentlemen of the
black cloth can make it work, will elimi-
nate the worst features of the saloon and
largely will tend to decrease drunken
ness. But it is an enormous task that
these men have undertaken. Nor is it
conceivable that they can keep out COM
petition. Fellows there will be in plenty
to open establishments of the free and
easy order, and it is not easy to believe
that the clergy can outlast the cost of
buying out saloons, unless the restric-
tions upon licensing are far more strin-
gent than We have knowledge Of

EDS. RECoRD-UNIoN: In your item in
to-day's paper, entitled "a Sheldon
ARRAY" it is stated that J. Nahl shot a
hole through Carter's leg, and in return
Carter hit Nahl and nearly killed him.
We will say this is the case. And after
this Mr.. Jones did not find enough evi-
dence TO turn the case over TO the court.
ask: Do we live now here in California
as they used to live in the early, days,
when every difficulty was settled by the

also that of good many of your readers,
that where such shooting takes place,
one, if not both, parties need punishment,

Fur Seal Protection Bill Passed-Qusr-
reling Over Pensions Matter.
WASHINGTON CITY. Feb. lin the
house today the senate bill was passed
extending to the North Pacific ocean the
provisions of the statute tor the protection
OF fur seals.
After two or three bits Of display OF tenn.
per by different members as relics Of YES.
terday's warfare, the pension bill was
taken up and the consideration completed.
Grout desired to reply to the remarks
made by Turpin of Alabama yesterday
about the deaf pensioner W ho was sta
toned at a telephone. He (Grou,D had
ascertained that this man was a Demo-
crat. and among the names of those
who had recommended him for the
place was that of Judge Gresham.
The man was assistant adjudlcating
officer. He drew pension for total deaf
ness in the right ear, but as the telephone
was at the desk of another officer, he oc.
casionally put his left ear to it.
ELaughter] The committee then arose
and reported the bill to the house. After
a scene of confusion. during which the
speaker appealed to the mem bers to con-
form to the rules of the house. the bill
passed.
The pos.office appropriation bill was
then taken up and the amendment agreed
to increasing the appropriation for the
payment OF salaries of postoiiice clerks
but without disposing OF the bill, the com.
mittee rose and the house adjourned.

Mills moved to strike out the five-year
provision, and leave the bonds redeemable

on Mills motion now. He did not believe
that any considerable amount of 3 per
cent. bonds had been issued. At the same
time the contingency should be provided

enable the secretary Of the treasury to
maintain the reserve without issuing
them.

WASHINGTON CRY, Feb. 17.-Paul Neu-

the United States, accompanied by Prince
David of the royal family, and two serv
ants. reached this city late tonight and
took apartments at the Richmond. Mr..
Neumann indicated partially what his
course Of action will be in his efforts to in
duce the senate to refuse to ratify the
treaty of annexation Of Hawaii, which is
now under consideration. Neumann re-
gretted much that the matter has pro-
gressed so far. He realized that owing to the
absence of the president and secretary of
state he must submit the queens case to
the senators themselves, and tomorrow he
will begin his work. He will ask the sem
ators to consider the papers which he has
in his possession. He regretted exceedingly
that such undue haste, as he characterized
it, should have been used in sending q
treaty to the senate, when but one side Of
the case had been heard. When he reached
San Francisco, Neumann said, he tele-
graphed to Secretary Foster to delay the
matter pending his arrival.
