Great Northern VIII Appeal.


The officers of the local land office
atSt Cloud have been notified that the
Great Northern Railway Company in
tends TO appeal from the decision of
the commissioner of the general land
Office in holding for cancellation what
is known as list No. 10, in Traverse
county. In this list the lands selected
are for losses in the main line primary
limits, but were not selected tract for
tract. .-.,e H. ~:.,s, si-s,gfFz.- ..'l s.--.
It has caused some surprise that the
/ company has not filed a rearranged
list, and during the recent rush for
claims at the local Office all the lands
embraced in these tracts were filed up
on. If the secretrry of the interior
should reverse the commissioner it
would end the hopes of those who have
been making filings. The ruling of
the commissioner is regarded, as rather
/ a technical one and it is thought that
the probabilities are that the company
will ultimately win. ~".'rs=s 's.'' T'..--.

in this country 549,G42 are occupied by
negroes, and of this latter number 12O, :

1.-THE delegates from the New England
States, from New York, from New jersey
from Pennsylvania, and, it should be said
to their credit, from some of the extreme
Northwestern States, demanded that the
money question should be met squarely
and the issue presented fairly and honestly
to the people.
"They insisted that the resolutions
should explicitly declare against the free
coinage of silver, except by international
agreement with the leading nations of the
world; that the present gold standard
should be maintained.
"They did not care what else was said,
provided the convention was emphatic in
its expressions upon these two main
points. The party has taken stand for
the right, no matter what the result may
be, but in this case to be right will be pop

my opinion, result in its disruption. and if
