OF importers to get their goods into
the country before the new tariff goes
into operation. AS an illustration of
this the following Is given from the
Sugar Planters Journal:
The sugar importers are active

In an effort to get the commodity
into the market without paying to
the government the new tax. 80
There are now stored in Hamburg
for shipment to this city alone more
than $4,000 tons OF raw sugar, and
steamers are being sent forward as
rapidly as they can be chartered
and loaded. -Four large steamers
are now due here from Hamburg.
and six large steamers from West
Indian ports. the valuation of sugar

the millions, and the money saved
on duty. provided the sugar

He who stands on the eternal
right stands not alone, though alone
he stands, for with him Is the Unseen
and under him are the Everlasting
Arms. There stands William L.
Gladstone to-day, with his hands
outstretcl1ed toward Crete and with
his face upturned toward God. AS
thus he stands, the prophet, the
psalmist, the evnngel, the philo-
sopher, The statesman, the reformer,
the liberntor and the philan tlropist,
which he is. all stir in him and find
voice In him and theme In his cause.
To-day 1t is the cause of Crete and
OF Armenia and of Greece. Only
yesterday it was the cause Of Get
tysburg and Of Appomattox. Earlier
1t was the cause of the Pilgrims Of
the Holland Lowlands, Of the field
Of Naseby and Of Runnymede. Ear
lier still it was the cause of Their
mOpylae and of SalamlS"
The average reader will, no doubt, be
pleased with the beauty Of thought and
expression employed by the Eagle in
the above, and 1t will be news to them
also to hear That the Hon. William e.

Once More SECTION 30

The famous section 80 case is TO
have another airing before the Sec
rotary of the interior at Washington.
While the state has lost all title to
the tract of the above lands known as
the Craig 40'' by the decision of the
commissioner of the general land
Office, and its subsequent affirmation
by the secretary of the interior, filed
in August last, the expiration of the
time for appeal in the case of lots
and does not occur until tomorrow.
State Auditor Dunn has been look
ing into the case anew of late, and in
the course of his Investigations has
discovered new evidence of value to
the state, and, after consultation with
the attorney general. it was decided
to act Immediately. The papers
necessary for the appeal are pre-
pared.
The chief point made by Secretary
Smith in the states claim was that
the state had failed to show the
character of the land in 1860, the year
of the swamp land grant act. 1t is
the states claim that this land was
in reality swamp land, and as such
should have Injured to the state. but
that owing TO irregularities and fraud
in the government survey. it was
shown by the government plat and
field notes TO be high land, and was
returned as such.
Late in 1895 the three tracts were
carefully examined and surveyed by
the most skillful examiners aud sur
veyors in the employ of the state land
department, and the results of those
alleges, fully bore out the claim as
TO the swampy character OF the land.

that practical man like Captain Nc
Dougall might anticipate the use Of
in a case of this kind. Down went
the tongs and up came a piece Of coal
of exactly the same quality as the
specimen described. There was a
triumphant look In the eyes of the
captains friend. He was about to
say told you so when the captain
gave him such severe look mingled
with compassion that the words died
on his lips. If Captain AcDougall
examined the specimen OF coal at his
office critically he analysed this
second one with his glance. A great
suspicion filled the mind of the
captain as he noted the sharp edges
Of the specimen he had found loose at
the bottom of the pool. He said
nothing but decided to do nothing
more until after nightfall when he
determined to see the bottom of the

made of logs and launched on the

the oversight.

Some fellow has lugged half bushel

body looking for snaps in coal mines.

said Captain McDougali by way of
explanation.
And thus was exposed what has
been believed TO be really promising
