1t is rather strange there is no
stir in borough politics vet.
The February election is less
than three months off, and from
the result at the ballot box on
the Sth inst. one would think
Republican candidates ought to
be announcing themselves for
burgess, tax collector and those
other offices which are supposed
to be full of money. Democrats,
very likely, will have to be con.
tent with a back seat this time,
thanks to the demoralizing
methods of the county leaders,
who have driven men out of the
party by their domineering
policy. The borough is dead
sure Republican now, and any
Democrat who wants TO be
elected will have to make
strong uphill fight, consequently
the party on top should not wait
to see what the other side will
do. Democrats have good rea-
son to be shy of letting their
names be made public as candi-
dates, but our Republican
friends have everything their
own way and ought to make
matters interesting among them
selves.

The McCook tribune. (McCook, Neb.) 1886-1936, 1893-09-29

John Underwood of Whittlesea, Cam
bridgeshire, who died in 1878, gave di-
rections for a curious funeral. None
of his relations was to follow his corpse,
which was to be conveyed to the grave
by six gentlemen, who were specially
desired not to come in black clothes, and
during the ceremony were instructed to
sing the last stanza of the second book
of Horace. The coffin was green, and
the deceased was placed in it with all
his clothes on. Under his head was
placed a copy of Horace, under his feet
Bentley's Milton, ON his right hand a
small Greek Testament and on his left a
miniature Horace, while Bentley's Hor-
ace was put under his back.
A cold supper at his house followed
the ceremony, and after the cloth was
taken away the guests repeated the
thirty-irst ode of the first book of Hor-
ace. Each was to receive 10 guineas
out of the sum of $4,000 left to the
testator's sister on condition of carrying
out the will. The will ended with the
words, (Which done, 1 would have

This beautiful baby boy, the son Of Geo.
B. and Janetta Harris, Webster, Ind, is one
of thousands completely cured by the CUTI,
CURA REMEDIES of a torturing and dis
figuring skin disease, after many doctors
and remedies had wholly failed. The mar
velous cures daily performed by these great
remedies have astonished all familiar with
them. None but mothers realize how these
little ones suffer when their tender skins are
literally on FIRE with itching and burning
eczemas, and other itching scaly, blotchy
aud pimply skin and scalp diseases. To
know that single application Of the CUTI-
CURA REMEDIES Will afford instant relief,
permit rest and sleep, and point to per-
manent and economical because most
speedy cure, and not TO use them, is to fail
in your duty. Parents, think Of the mental
and physical suffering TO be endured in
years to come from neglected skin, scalp
and blood diseases. Cures made in infancy
and childhood are almost invariably per-
manent.

The record-union., 1893-05-08
A PUBLIC OUTRAGE.

When the RECoRD-UNIoN first ap-
preached the Surveyor Ge neral with a.
request that it be allowed to publish the
names of the applicants for lieu lands,
with such statement of the basis of lieu
and description OF the lands selected, that
the public might know the manner of the
land administration in behalf of the
State, it had information that applications
covering lands equal to the entire amount
of lieu to which the State would become
entitled had been filed in the office. The
Surveyor-Generalp promised the privilege
of such examination OF the records of his
Office as would enable the RECORD UNION
to publish the contents of the applica-
tions. We had the authority of the Sur
veyor-General himself that there was
very large number of applications in the
safe, and that the lands TO which they re-
ferred equalled the entire area of lien
right. But the Surveyor-General had re-
ceived these applications under stipula-
ton that the public should not know
their contents. This was of itself pre-
sumption of fraud. They were placed on
file under this stipulation because an ex-
The record-union., 1893-05-08

posure of their contents would expose
fraud, and the subsequent proceedings
make the truth of this statement more
clear. The Surveyor-General admitted
TO the REooRD-U UNION and to Chronicle
correspondent that the safe contained
about five hundred applications. The
mandamus petition brought the
matter to the bar of judicial
determination; when, 10, an ad-
mission is made that there are one
hundred and twenty-nine applications
accompanied with the fees; but at the
same time it is stated that applications
have been withdrawn, and that these
Withdrawals have occurred even since
the alternative writ was issued. When
the one hundred and twenty-nine appli-
cations come to be examined. it is safe to
predict that they will be of the most in
nocent species. We do not entertain a
doubt, and make the assertion without
hesitation, that the Surveyor General,
his deputy and the force in his office
knew of the character and contents of
those applications from the time they
were offered. They knew what attorneys
had filed them. They have defended
the secrets of the men who filed
them, at the expense of their
own regulations. They have stood
by the parties who are attempting to
practice fraud on the people of the State,
which leaves but one of two conclusions:
either the public officers connected with
the State Administration were parties to
the fraud, or their relation to the subject
was of that character which gave the land
rings control of their action. However
this may be. the contents of the one hum
dred and twenty-nine applications will
come to the light and whatever facts bear
upon the methods of administering the
landed interests of the State will be made
public.
The record-union., 1893-05-08

withdrawn, changed, or substitutions
made for them.
1t developed on the hearing that after
Inc mandamus proceedings had been
commenced by the RECORD UNION and
the alternative writ had issued, the Sur
veyor and his chief deputy had permit
TED some of the alarmed land-grabbers to
Withdraw or change, to take out and
manipulate, indeed, such of the papers
as they chose; that while the people were
locked out from inspection of these pub
lie documents the land sharks had free
access to them, on the ground that the
papers were theirs.
Then was presented the amazing spec
tacle of a State official holding in one and
the same breath that the papers were and
were not subject to inspection. The
court was much disposed, when this
nagrant violation of its writ was dis
closed, to punish the offender, the chief
deputy, assuming the responsibility but
1t was pleaded he did not know that the
mandate ran to that extent, and that he
had no intent to treat the process of the
court with disrespect, etc. So, on this
plea of the baby act, the court reluctantly
dismissed that collateral matter with a
warning for the future.
The effect of the decision of the court is
far-reaching and of highest importance.
Its value is inestinable TO the public of
California. 1t is regretable that some
such decision could not have come years
ago, and hundreds of thousands of acres
OF the public domain have been saved for
actual settlers and bona fide home
builders.
The mineral lieu gained under the Act
of 1891 was all appropriated in day or
two by amending old applications on file,
kept on file evidently for the sole pur-
pose of blocking the way and seizing
upon good lieu whenever opportunity
presented. The Surveyor General held
that he could not make up his mind
whether old applications might properly
be amended, or whether new ones should
be filed. So between this double-header
OF the old and the new, genuine ap-
plicants were effectually shut out, since if
any desired they could not examine the
new applications, the Surveyor-General
meanwhile refusing to file any applica-
tions using new lieu basis created by the
act of 1891.
Now the decision of the court cuts off
shuffiing and the opportunity to do it,
since it is practically decided that after
an application is presented it must be
filed and becomes a public document and
is not therefore susceptible of amend
ment. Such is the effect of the decision.
which is more far-reaching than at first
glance appears.
The RECoRD-U UNION reiterates that its
purpose is solely to bring all the facts
into the glare of publicity, as thereby the
rights of the people will be best disclosed,
and the evil practices by which they
have been defeated will be most effectu-
ally killed of.
