few evenings ago that l was to make this address, and had I more time judge by the dispatch with which the of fiers were just elected no long speeches are desired. Should I extend to you the hearty welcome you receive from Bir mingham I would continue as long as did this blessed rain of today. I speak in behalf not only of this church, but of all the Baptist churches of Birming- ham. We extend to you the heartieSt welcome, especially as you come in such a noble cause; we welcome you as mes sengers from the churches over the state We feel that in extending this hos pitality to you we do but give feeble return for the blessings we have re- ceived. We welcome you from flower scented Mobile, from Flor ence, from Montgomery, from Talla- .dega and from all over the state, from the seats of culture to this center of all culture and push and energy. We feel live here. We welcome you to our midst.''
 The welcome address in behalf of the local union was delivered by it's presi- dent, c. r. Wheelock He said: When in Montgomery one of the members deliver ing the welcome address said he spoke for Birmingham's 400.
 You have heard of New York's 400 We'll Birmingham has her 400 in this association of ours. We have mem bership of 400. l welcome you here in behalf of these 400. Anything that I might say and all that I might say, had I the power, would not half express the welcome Blrmngham's association ex- tends to the Baptist young people of Alabama. Our organization has been criticised severely since its organiza- tion last December. yet we have done nothing we now regret. We know our critics are in error and we are in the right Your very conduct Is the best answer that could have been given to the criticisms. Do not enter into any argument in defense of your organiza- tion. Let your conduct and your or ganization be an answer to them
 Tt seems to me that never in the his- tory of our church has there been such an opportune time for organization.
 "We welcome you as Baptists and in the name of your unions. In the name of our Master we welcome you here to- night, and welcome you to our homes"
 The response to the welcome address was made by MT. D. Perrin Coleman of Mobile He said: T can imagine no greater pleasure than when welcomed to feast but that pleasure is magni- fled thousand fold when the feast is spiritual one. We had expected your welcomes to hail upon us. but had not you for your hearty welcome It is fitting that we should come to Brming- ham. We are Alabamians and are proud of our state, of her mineral wealth. We are no less proud of Bir-

HILL AND the n ne. u

It now seems that the rumors
about J. J. Hill, president Of The
Great Northern railroad, getting
control lof the Northern Pacific
are true. The leading railroad
men of the state and tho leading
newspapers now possess infor
nation that convinces them
that Hill has succeeded in placing
himself at the head of American
railroad men by obtaining posses.
sion of the greatest rival Of his
road. For a long time the owners
of the N. P. second mortgage
bonds have not received returns
on their investment, but il is
somewhat surprising that they de-
cided to place their interests in The
owners of the Great Northern. It
is probable that Hill has con.
WINGED them that he can So operate
the road as to bring an income. to
all who hold It's bonds, and he will
doubtless be able to do so.
What the result will b. on the
Northern Pacific territory is very
hard to determine, and it will not
b. known till experience has
shown what Hills policy will be.
1t takes away any chance Of COM
petition from a large part Of the
Northwest, although the 500 road
will give some hope to large dis
trict north and west Of Mime
apolis. Cities that are not far
distant from the present line ofthe
500 will naturally look toward
that line for the benefits that are
always hoped for from competition.
Another view to take Of the
matter is that the practical cen.
solidation of the Great Northern
and Northern Pacific 50 gives
to the territory Of each ! the
benefits of the markets along
the other line. If under the
new arrangement an earnest effort
was made to help the Northern
Pacific country, it would certainly
be benefit for us to have i'm.
proved facilities to reach the
Great Northern territory. 'i.rc..

The Brainerd papers are having
great old discussion on the free
silver question, with the Journal
for free silver at 16 to 1, and the
Dispatch and Tribune in opposi-
tion. Stivers, Of the Journal, is
just as sure that prosperity
would follow free coinage as he
was about fifteen years ago that a
big issue of greenbacks would be a
great blessing. Some way the
country pulled along pretty nicely
with neither more greenbacks nor
free coinage of 50 cent silver dol
lars till 1892, and wages advanced
to their greatest purchasing
power. Then came the blow Of
Democratic success, and commerce
and industry were at their lowest
ebb till the election Of 1894 showed
that the law making power had
been taken from the Democratic
party. The considerable business
improvement the nation now en-
Joys would not have ensued but for
the evident intention of the people
to have no more such congresses as

NO LAND SALES THIS SPRING.

ST.. PAUL, MINI, May 1, 1885,
In answer to numerous inquiries
with reference to the sale ofschool
lands, l am obliged to state that it
will be impossible to hold any
sales this spring. The new land
law, blouse File No. 359, known
as the Staples Billy goes into effect
June LIST, 1895. It virtually pro.
vides for reappraisenent Of all
agricultural state lands. Here is
the exact language of the statute:
provided, however, that no sale
shall be made upon any appraisal
that was made more than four
years prior to the date of sale"
The law also provides that the ap-
praisers shall be appointed as
follow: One by: the. governor,
one by the land commissioner, and
one by the county commissioners
in the county in which the lands
to.be appraised ore located. Then,
after the lands have been ap-
praised, five weeks must elapse for
publishing notice of the sale. It
is hardly to be expected that the
county commissioners Of any
county will meet in extra session,
at an expense Of from $50 to 500,
solely for the purpose of appoint
ing an appraiser, and the next
regular meeting Will be held in
July. Right here I wish to say
that it is not the fault of this Office
that House File No. 359 became a
law. We protested vigorously
against it's passage. We will try
and complete arrangements for
sales in limited number of coun-
ties this fall.
Very respectfully yours,
r. c. DUNN,
State Land Commissioner.

GAME AND FISH PROTECTION.

r. The state game and fish COM
mission has benin an unfortunate
condition for work SO far this year,.
but it is now in position to do
effective work. In the first place,
the commission had no funds
available from Jan. / to the date
the new law was signed-April 8.
During that time 10 deputy
wardens could be employed, and
the commission could do little to
enforce the laws. Soon after the
new commission was organized the
question came up as to the legality.
of it's existence under the new law,
and the question was not settled
until this week. Of course, no
commission could do effective work
under this condition, and the ex-
ecutive gent, MIR. Fullerton, could
give but little attention to points
outside the large cities. The COM
mission now has a larger appro.
priation to work with than ever
before, and there is a.greater pub
lie interest and support than ever
before. WHEREVER in the state
public sentin ent will support the
work of the game and fish COM
mission they will be able to enforce
the laws, and the result will be an
increase in, the: fish: and game.
Under the present laws all reason.
able facilities for hunting. and
fishing are allowed, and still the
supply can be maintained and in
creased. Fishing with nets and
hunting out of ;, season must be
stopped or the supply will soon be
exterminated. The people of
locality that allow the depletion Of
the lakes for the profit of few
fishermen for the city markets are
making great mistake, as the
supply for even local use will soon
be exhausted.
The commission is composed of
good men, who thoroughly under.
stand the needs Of the state in the
way of game and fish protection
and propagation, and it is the
duty of all who wish to see their
work effective to uphold them.
This is an immense state, and the
money at the disposal of the CON-
mission will not allow them to
have many deputy wardens, so the
enforcement of the law must rest
to a great degree with the p:ople.
It is a mistake for the news
papers to abuse and condemn the
commission because in some places
violaters 60 UNPUBLISHED. De-
nunciation of the comission serves
to render their efforts even less ef-
fective, and encourage the poachers
to greater disregard Of the law.
The best work the papers can do
is to urge the enforcement of
the law, to encourage the
organization of local branches of
the Game Protective association,
and create public sentiment in
favor of furnishing all who break
the law. When violations are
known, it is not necessary to
Jump onto the commission, but
local authorities should be active
in prosecutions, the same as they
would in cases of other crimes
or misdemeanors. 81. =
