Land Decisions.

The following digest of land decisions
made by the land office during the week
are furnished by W. D. Harlan, land and
mining attorney, Washington, D. O.:
A settler who has established his resi-
dence in good faith does not forfeit his
rights hereunder by a temporary alb
sence in the discharge of official duties,
nor is the right of transmutation during
such absence affected thereby.
The rule that recognizes Official duty
as an excuse for temporary absence is
equally applicable whether the duty is
imposed by the appointing power or by
election.
The presumption as to the mineral or
agricultural character of tract, created
by the return of the surveyor general.
does not preclude the assertion of any
right, or the proof of the facts as they
really exist.

And So Say We.

We have been asked by one of our
readers to name the most suitable per
iodical to present to his son for the
year 1895. His son is Is years of age.
Without any hesitancy We advise
him to present him with a paid-up-
subscription for The New York Sun
for the coming year, the Sunday edi-
tion included. No publication, either
daily, weekly or monthly, is printed in
the United States that can compare
with The Sun. Carefully read each
day by the young man, he will receive
a course of lectures, both in learning
and language, that no institution of
education could give him. Besides this,
he will learn to love his country, and
to be patriot instead of demagogue;
he will be taught how to use the right
of suffrage intelligently and for fhe
lest interests of his country; he will
learn to detect and despise the hypo-
crite, the trai.or, the dissembler, and
to uphold honor and truth at what
ever cost. Any parent who wishes his
boy 10 become more manly, more in
telligent, and true American cannot
do better than'to advise him to read
The New York Sun.

the fair name of the priestly office is in

the debauching of voters with money.
When such ministers are SO lost to

The departure of the old year is off
times akin to that of an old friend
whose going we regret. But old 1894
had few to weep o'er his bier, and
when his death knell sounded there
was an echoing response like sigh of
relief. A memorable year, trulyl Me-
morable for the many things we would
gladly blot from the record. Now
the New Year has come and we are
wondering what he has in his treasure
store for us. He's rollicksome
youngster, this latest born son of old
Father Time. Let us make friends
with him! He has a smile for the
brave and true, courage and
strength for the faithful, and oppor-
tunity for all; for the New Year
is full of promise, and his blessings we
all may share, if we will. May young
1895 be the best, the mightiest, and
most resourceful year of all his pre-
decessors, and may we as nation, a
State and as individuals be wiser,
better and happier than ever before.

The Delaware Senatorship.
Philadelnhia Press [Ran.l

Philadelphia Press (Rep.)
The organization of the Delaware
Legislature has apparently settled it
that the aspirations of Mr.. Addicks to
be United States Senator cannot sue
ceed. Ee has failed in his Grst and
vital test His candidate for speaker
was beaten. He claimed majority of
the Republican votes. Had this claim
been justified he could have dictated
the organization. With the failure of
that scheme his gas-bag collapses.
1t now remains for the Republicans
of the Legislature to determine the
senatorship upon grounds of public fit
ness and for the best interests of the
party and the state. In seeking that
best result for the common welfare
those who are classed as friends of Mr..
Addicks may rightfully be expected to
participate. They support him not be-
cause he is fit for the senatorship, but
from sense Of personal obligation.
They sustain him in order to acquit a
personal debt. With the .demonstra-
tion that he cannot be elected, they are
free to consider another choice upon
broad and worthy public grounds and
they are the most bound, upon having
acted from purely personal consider
ations in the first instance, to be guided
by the highest and worthiest public
reasons in the final determination.
There can be no doubt about the re-
suit which will be most advantageous
to the State an most welc )me to the
Republicans and patriots of the whole
country will be the reelection of Sena-
tor Higgins. If the Republicans of
Delaware will now have the sense t.
assure his return, they will re-establish
the good impression which has been
endangered. He has served with great
distinction and success. No new man
can at once gain the rank which he has
attained, or give the State the same
standing and influence. With the
clearing of the atmosphere, our RepuE-
lican neighbors ought to settle upon
the choice which is so manifestly for
the general interest.

THE MESSAGE.

The Governors Message is very
noteworthy document, several points
being specially open to favorable criti-
cism, among which are his recommen-
dations in regard to our Schools, being
in perfect accord with the desire of the
State Principals Association. His plea
for prison reform is also timely and
creditable.
But, when Robert ]. Reynolds, who
appointed the Special Constables, for
the sole purpose of intimidating vot-
ers, to secure Democrat supremacy,
talks about the "methods employed to
currupt the ballot" and undertakes to
plead for the "sacred honor of the
State" that should be kept free from
the faint or suspicion of corruption,
then we exclaim, "Good Lord Deliver
us!"
From almost any other man such
sentiments would be received with a
better grace, but from Governor Rey-
nolds it is simply monstrous. But
when the "Devil was sick, the Devil a
Monk would be-" etc.
