For Big Area OF Alleged Swamp Land,

Washington, Aug. 3.-Commissioner
Hermann, of the general land Office, has
decided adversely to the claim Of Cham
paign county, Ills, as grantee Of the
state in the claim of Illinois for indepmi-
fication er repayment of purchase mon
>ey received by the government from the
sale OF certain lands between 1907 ar!

is long-pending controversy between
the federal and state governments, ans
three different examinations have been
agents, and in different years payments
have been made Of other lands likewise
Involved. The criminal decision is a
lengthy recapitulatiOn of the evidence
and the law, as this is a test case involv-
ing 100 other similar claims now pend
ing here. Commissioner Hermann de-
aides the lands not to have been swamp
within the meaning of the grant, for
these reasons:
Why the Lands Are Not Swamp
First, the evidence as a whole is in
sufficient to shew swanpy character
second. the original field notes of survey

Recent kilograms regarding the
conclusions reached by the Brit
ish Pacific Cable Commission
have given the impression that
Notwithstanding the decision of
the Commissioners, there yet re-
mains a possible obstacle in OBJ
tanning the sanction OF the vari
Gus Colonial governments. The
press of the British Colonies is
not disposed to look upon this
final sanction and appropriate the
funds as a matter liable to jeop-
ardize the success of the project,
for, as the Vancouver News-Ad
vertiser remarks, "the members
of the Commission were of course
fully cognizant of the views of
their respective administrations,
and the latter were doubtless in
formed of every step in the Com
missions proceedings, it may be
reasonably concluded that the de-
cision arrived at simply gives ex-
preston TO the policy decided
upon by the imperial and colonial
governments" From this we are
to suppose that the question was
practically cut and dried, with
the exception of details which the
Commission was to furnish. Now
this has been accomplished, it is
anticipated the appropriations
will be promptly forthcoming,
and the cable built before 1900 at
the outside.

us take Il reasonable probability
however. that the United States
in order to protect its infant SUI
gar industry imposes a heavy tax
on all sugars entering its mar
kets produced by other than Am
erican capital and American Ia
Dor. What would be the result
with our local industry? The la
Dor party in the United States,
aside from the farmers who want
protection, is assuming proper
tons that make it Il most potent
factor in influencing legislation.
The politicians and business men
of the States are beginning TO ap-
preciate that the labor element
cuts no small figure in the affairs
of the nation, and policies are be
ing shaped accordingly. If the
people here hold their nose to the
and fail to keep watch
over the drift of affairs in the
United States, they will wake up
some fine morning TO an appreci-
alton of their wOndrOus lack of
fOrethOught.

Where strict Sunday laws are
enforced, particularly in the Unit

heard from in opposition is the
citizen of German descent. But
even in the great German strong
hold 'blue laws" crop out in an
unexpected fashion, which shows
that even the German liberal Sab
bath has some strings tied TO it.
For instance. a baker in Berlin
has been indicted for the crime
of playing worldly airs on the
piano during church time. He in
formed the policeman who heard
the Dissertation that it was his
wife's birthday. But the officer

AN UNFORTUNATE PLANTATION.

The Eva plantation is Il speci-
men of what comes of Il scheme
conducted by men who try ex-
periments, jump over the traces
and refuse the wise counsel of the
sainted grandfathers.
Its management had the un-
businesslike audacity to suspect
the wisdom of contract labor"
and got lost in the woods while
chasing up the false gods of CO
operative or free labor, which is
an abominatiOn in the eyes of
those who believe in old and re
liable gods of contract labor, with
a Jail within IL stones throw of it.
Their vagaries should, by this
time, have reduced the fertile
plains of EVA to goat pasture,
and made the hearts of the stock
holders glad with many cheerful
'1rish dividends" besides driving
these managers out of the San
hedrin of the intelligent planters.
This plantation, largely com
posed of castles in the air, has
had the impudence to turn out
last year the highest average crop
of sugar per acre ever known on
these Islands, with Il good divi-
dend behind il. Free contract la
Dor had something to do with IT..
No respectable artesian well
should have consented to furnish
water to such a scheme, and the
cane quite forgot itself in refus-
ing to serve notice on the man
agement that it would refuse to
grow under anything but ''penal
contract labor" The liberal use
of the fermented juice of free Ia
Dor on plantations should not be
allowed, without u protest, even
if many would regard it as quite
similar in its effects to Grants
whisky" which Mr.. Lincoln wish
ed to pour down the throats of
many of his generals. Let us re-
specially regard the Jail which
is the temple of contract labor, as
the old traveller regards the gal
lows which he saw standing in
the midst of Il desert: Thank
God, i am not beyond civilization
yet"
Perhaps the Eva plantation,
which seems to be the nursery of
sugar cane cranks, will aggra
vate its audacity by trying some
day the experiment which Is
now being tried successfully in
Queensland-the employment of
white free labor contractors. 1t
will be Il difficult undertaking.,
but so was the building of the
Central Pacific railroad across
the Sierras, which the best" en-
gineers said could not be done,
but which the insufferable cranks
Stanford and Huntington did.
