WILLIAM McGARRAHAN, the famous

WILLIAM MCGARRAHAN, the famous
claimant, died at Washington last week,
where he had been conspicuous figure
for more than thirty years. For more
than a third of century he had fought
for his rights, and at last died in poverty,
although had he secured what seemed
like Justice, he would have been worth
s50,OO0,0O0. The courts have five times
decided in favor of the claimant, and,
beginning with the Fortieth Congress,
when bill for his relief passed the
House, it has been before Congress in
some shape or another at nearly every
session.
In 1858, William McGarraban bought
from the original grantee vast tract of
mountainous land in Southern California,
paying $ll,O 900 for it. Not long after
large deposits of quicksilver were dis
covered on it, and the New Indria Min
ing Company located it mines. refusing
to recognize McGarrahan's title. which
was based upon Mexican land grant.
He brought suit against the United
States from whom the intruders claimed
title, and the validity of his grant was
twice confirmed by the United States
Supreme Court. He then applied for a
patent for the lands, and Secretary of
the Interior Smith, then in Lincoln's
Cabinet, granted one, but it was never
issued, and later examination showed
that the records in the Interior Depart
ment in relation thereto had been
mutilated.
He then went to Congress, and bills
for his relief have been introduced at
every session. They have frequently
passed one House, but not until the
close of the first session of the Fifty
second Congress did bill pass both
branches. President Harrison, however,
while admitting the justice of the claim,
was dissatisfied with some of its pro-
visions and vetoed it. 1t was altered to
meet his objections and passed the
Senate, but was not reached in the
House. Thus life was spent, and
death saw the object of life unattained.
The persistency with which McGarrahan
pursued his claim in the face of repeated
failures when the prize was almost
within his grasp seems more than
human.

TIE FoKrY-EIrTH STATE.

Utah, the forty-ffth State OF the
Union, had a population Of 2O7, 9O5 in
in 1890. In population it will be a
larger State than either Delaware, Mon
tana, North Dakota, Nevada, Wyoming
or Idaho. Only one-third Of the in
habitants are foreigners.
The present Representative in Con-
gress is Democrat, but if the Repuo-
Hcan candidate against him could have
commanded the separate Mormon vote
the Democrats would have been
defeated. The Mormon vote will
largely determine the elections, so it is
difficult to predict anything about the
politics of the new State.
Utah Is nesrly twice the size Of New
York. Mining and agriculture are the
principal occupations Of the people,
but the silver mines are the chief
source Of wealth. The Mormons nave
had possession since 1S45, and their
capitol, Salt Lake City, is a beautiful
town with a population of about $4,000.
The Mormon temple, recently dedi-
Gated, cost several million dollars.
The admission of Utah will give us
forty-6ve States aud ninety Senators,
and the addition of these two may have
a controlling influence in the Senate.

COL MCCLURE, OF the independent
Democratic Philadelphia Times. nomin-
ates Senator CUsNtAN X. DAVIS, Of
Minnesota, as the only fitting Republi-
can candidate for tue Presidency in
1896. COL MCCLURE writes:
"The present assault of anarchy against
free government lu the majesty Of its laws
has developed but two great men. They
are Grover Cleveland, the Democratic
President, VINO has sized uD 10 the full
measure Of his great duties, aud T.. Is.
Davis, Republican Senator from the State
of Minnesota, who gave 70 the country the
first manly, patriotic and courageous ut
terauCc in tne support of the Government
Mr.. Cleveland Is not thought Of as can0i-
Ca.g for iSJ6. as be has been twice chosen
for President. out Senator Davis has
made himself the ideal Republican candi-
date for the great battle of 80, and II the
Republican leaders are wise they will pre-
sent no other name 70 the next national
convention
After commencing Senator DAVIS for
"the promptness and unmistakable ring
Of his protest against the lawleSsness
which has disturbed the peace, the in
dustry, aud the commerce OF the cOun-
Try" the Tunes says:
"While Congressman Reed and Gov.
Mckinley have been SbiverlDg over this
issue in silence, and ex.President Harrison
has been forced 10 explain himself after
the backbone of anarchy had been prac-
tically broken, Senator Davis is the one

man Of the Republican leaders who had the
patriotism and courage TO place country
above party and law above anarchy. Com
sidering that the most vital issue OF 1870
will be the supremacy Of law, the main.
tenance of order and the tranquility OF
business. the one ideal candidate for the
Republicans for President is Senator
Davis. Of Minnesota"
Senator DAVIS has earned this high
praise aud the Republican party could
undoubtedly 60 farther and fare worse
but it is doubtful il either he or his par
ty will feel grateful TO a Democratic
editor for first suggesting the head OF
the Republican Presidential ticket.
But is not the Times taking time very
much by the forelock in deciding 1.-THE
most vital issue" OF the campaign OF
1896? II il is "the supremacy of the
law" as the Times says, there could be
no party division upon that, for assur-
eddy all good citizens OF all parties are
for the maintenance OF law and order.
The issues of the next campaign Will
have chiefly TO do with the currency and
the tariff. The silver question is grow
ing more and more important as an is
sue aud it will keep on growing until it
is settled. The tariff We have always
with Us. The passage Of the Wilson
bin will not stop the agitation for,
though the only practicable measure
At This time. it will not suit everybody,
not even every tariff reformer.
So, We can not see just at this stage
of the game, how Col. MCCLURE is go
ing to make out senator DAVIS as the
logical Republican candidate for 1886,
on the ground OF his most timely utter
aucs in support Of the government
against Anarchy IN 1894.

Tale OF ELKINs.

The interesting story in the Washing
ton dispatches Of yesterdays REGISTER
regarding the latest plan OF the kepub-
lican leaders to defeat WILLIAM L.
WILSON, namely by nominating as his
opponent, STEPHEN b. ELKINs, and liter
ally buying the district with Mr.. Ell
RINs' barI, is interesting, chiefly as
showing the utter despair Of the Repub-
Iisan leaders OF ever defeating the brill
liant, pure aud honest Democrat who
represents the Second West Virginia
District That Mr., ELKINs would per-
NIT himself TO be rum through tie cam
paign mill, even though there were not
the prospect Of defeat in the end, is so
far from probable as To be amusing TO
those who know Mr.. ELKINs and his
ambition. The latter shoots beyond
Congress, and scars and circles above
that lofty aud coy eyrie, the United
States Senate. Congress itself, could
nc ktG NnHANH NOAAA O0 q cNN
backward for STEPHEN. There
are other sundry reasons why
Mr.. ELKINs will never go directly
before the people IN a campaign. He
has record which he would not care
to be asked questions about, and which
he could not afford to be confronted
with. Particularly IN could he afford
to have comparisons drawn In this re-
spect between himself and Mr.. WILSON,
than whom there never was
purer man in public life. The Re-
publican leaders in Washington who
are turning to ELKINs as a last resort,
as the only possible hope left OF defeat
ing the brave and brilliant Democratic
leader, WILLIAM L. WILSON, we fear
have not consulted Mr. ELRINS, but
have taken his acquieScence in their
plans including the opening uD Of his
0ar'l IN the Second district, for granted,
which no wise politician will do.
No matter who is put up against Mr..
Wilson there will be as much money
poured into the Second district as the
Republican managers caR use or pocket
conveniently. The tariff beuefciaries,
who hope for the reversal Of
Mr.. Wilson's tariff policy, as
in the past, will shell
out Of their 81 gotten gains without
stint. But the Republican leaders
doubtless have discovered by this
time that the Democrats OF the Second
district are not to be bought and that
it will take something more than Doodle
to defeat Mr.. WILSON. Hence they
turn to STEPHEN b. ELKINS, he of New
Mexico and elsewhere, ex-cabinet officer
and skilled wire puller, of national
fame or, rather, notoriety, whose Sc
ductivs personality AMI eminence it is
hoped will do the business.
But are the Republican leaders so
foolish as TO think that the people OF
the Second district do not know MIR.
ELRINs, or know only his lights and
not his shades? If so, the Republican
National COMMITTEES. which is said to be
at the back Of this alleged move, needs
a course Of instruction IN primary pol
itics.
Nay, nay. Besides, Mr.. ELRINS has
other fish TO fry and other uses for his
bar'l The latter will be squeezed in
trying to make the West Virginia Leg
stature Republican this year.

serve. The receipts from internal
revenue so far this month aggregate
Sl6, 664, 537 as against SS,917,9l5 during
the same period last year. This almost
unprecedented Increase is no DOUBT due
to the expectation that in the pending

materially increased.
