Important Land ONO. Ruling.

Important Land Omcs Ruling.
The INDEPEND INT has received the
following important circular from
Surveyor General Pratt:
So STATE LAND OFFICE,
CARSON CITY, Nevada, April 2, 1897.
S1R:-It is the opinion of the
present Attorney General (Which
officer is my legal advisory that the
land embraced In each and every
contract for State land on which
either the principal, or interest is not
paid when due Immediately and un-
conditionally" reyerts to the State,
under the terms Of the contract and
in accordance with the provisions of
Section of the General Land Law.
He is Of the opinion that each and
every contract ON which the annual
interest is not paid when due be
comes null and void by operation Of
law, independent of any action that
may be taken or attempted by the
State Land Register; that receiving
and certifying an overdue interest
payment does not renew the contract,
and that renting overdue interest
is useless expense on the, part OF the
contractor. I shall therefore refuse
to certify any overdue interest pay
ment until my, duty to do, 30 shall
have been clearly defined by COM
petent Court. A.C. PRATT,
State Land Register
Under this ruling, which is In strict
accordance with Section g of the
General Land Law, all payments for
State lands must be made On or be-
fore the day ON which they fall due.
A failure to make prompt payments
of interest forfeits the contract and
the land Immediately and uncon-
ditionally reverts to the State and
is thereafter subject to sale in the
same manner and under the same
conditions as though no such prior
contract of sale had been made.
The effect of this ruling is simply
this: If A has contract for the pull
chase of land from the State, on
which the interest falls due on the
Doth day of April, heramust pay the
interest due on or before that day In
order to hold the land. If be fails to
pay ON the dayion which the interest
falls due, he forfeits all claims upon
the land and loses all he has paid on
his contract. -.--.-,.p.
1T would be well for all having con-
tracts for State lands to remember
this ruling and make their payments
promptly. A failure to do so will
sabject thsm to good deal Of annoy
ance beside the loss OF all the money
they have paid on their contracts. y

CHAIRMAN Mike Miller desires the
members of the County Democratic Com
mittee to meet at Hardinsburg next
Monday. There is some important mat
tiers to look after and the new chairman
wants in addition to meet all the men,
bers and confer with them. Mr.. Miller
is new man in the chair, but there is
no discount ON his zeal TO work every
thing for the good OF the party. This
year will require much effort and coop
Grafton in all the precincts to bring out
good results. There is no disafection 50
far as the News is advised, that will cut
any figure in the general results OF the
election this fall. That is if everything
shall continue as at present. That was a
very representative body OF Democrats
that met in mass convention and formu.
lated the present ticket. They left the
hall with great zeal and determination to
work for the success OF the party. Not
man on the ticket will be scratched in
our judgment. The whole ticket will 90
through if a single man on il is elected.
1t is supreme folly to make any other
deduction.

HOWEVER much we may dislike Mr..
Cleveland he is capable of saying some
good things along Democratic lines. His
idea Of true Democracy, which we print
in this issue, strikes us as having the
true ring to it. The only objection any
Democrat can have to Mr.. Cleveland is
his position on the money question. And
il, as he says, free silver at 1G to l would
bring ruin and financial disaster to the
country, it isn't what we want. We be-
lieve Mr.. Cleveland is honest in what he
says. There is no cant or appeals to the
passions or prejudices Of men. They are
sober, strong words, full of patriotism
and Democracy. They won't hurt us to
read them. What Democrats of the
country want to do and more especially
in Breckenridge county, is to get togeth-
er, and we can never get there until we
get on speaking terms and quit calling
each other bad names. An old-fashion-
ed Methodist class meeting is what we
want. Short talks along this line from
both sides OF the house might do us
good. Speak out gentlemen. We would
like TO hear from you through these
columns.

We have sent Republican Senator to
Washington. Democrats had it in their
power to send a sound money Democrat,
but refused and listened to some "direct-
ors of the destinies" OF the party and
preferred to see Deboe CO. He is sound
money and high protective tariff. Mar
tin would have fought the latter, which
all Democrats ought to fight--an absurd
tariff, Dingleyism, Democrats aud a
queer commodity. Henry d. Martin was
Blackburn's friend That doesn't signi-
fly Use your friends to accomplish
your object and then let them drop, is
the motto of the political and social
world. Damon and Pythias days are
over. The generality of people have
friends only to use them to accomplish
an end. The sooner you discard such
friends O the better off you are for time
and eternity.
Ex.President Cleveland cannot make
a speech before a club without getting
"rib-roasters" from "croakers" in all di-
rections. How the N. Y. Sun hates Mr..
Cleveland and yet after severe sarcasm
it came out with his speech in full. One
thing we all certainly can endorse, he
wants all Democrats to get together to
fight the common enemy. Mr.. Cleve-
lands second administration is generally
conceded to be lacking in wisdom when
compared with his first, but that he
saved our country's honor, none can
doubt Mr.. Watterson's criticism was
simply abuse, showed that our brilliant
Kentucky editor had lost none of his ha-
tired exhibited towards Mr., Cleveland for
many years. Mr.. Bryan's criticism was
couched in courteous language and
showed muddy dignity. Certainly the
papers and their editors must be at loss
for topics to begin to discuss 1900 affairs
after such recent struggle as our coun-
try has Just survived. Better discuss
keeping a President in Office for eight
years 80 as not to tear the country to
pieces every four years add stagnate bus
mess.

SELF EXPLANATORY.

Born the editors OF the News did not
sign the Henderson petition that has
been referred to. There were others
who signed it that did not support Mr..
Henderson, because as one gentleman
remarked to us not long since. He said
he signed it and did not support Hender-
son because he had been informed that
the petition or paper was not to be sent
to Henderson no way. At any rate the
propriety of that thing was seriously
questioned at the time. It was finally
sanctioned by several who were Hender-
sons friends, yet at the same time they
believed he would regard the thing as a
compliment any way and decline the
race. However, we hope now that, as it
is all over. some Of his over-zealous
friends will try and get the kinks worked
out of them before hot weather or they
may have to 90 on cold storage. V. G. B.
