CITY presented an animated scene. The
amusement places and cafes are doing a
rushing business; hordes of street fakirs
are shouting aloud their souvenirs OF the
inauguration and holiday spirit peryades
the capital. The final touches have been
put on the superb decorations and the va
RED electrical devices flash from many
puiidihgs. The streets and pavements are
entirely free and dry from the effects OF
the early mornings rain and the tempera-
turc is at very comfortable degree, though
growing colder. All Is in readiness for the

Washington. March 3.-Senator Dubois
from the committee on public lands. today
presented the report Of that committee on
the result Of Its examination OF the recent
issuance by the interior department of a
patent to tho Perrine land grant In Florida
ut does not appear from the record or
tee" says tho report, chat there was any
departure from customary procedure in tho
land office or the interior department In
connection with the filing OF proof of the
examination thereof, the issuance OF tho
patent or any other act or circumstances
connected herewith"
The report concludes: "The work OF set
tloment began In May last, the tropical
plants were set out IN October and No
vomber, proofs were begun In December
and filed with tho department and the pa
tent issued on February 4. 1t is thus seen
that the Perrlnes and their associates, the
railroad company and the attorneys who
worked on commission. have obtained 23,-
goo acres OF government land under cond-
lions. which In five years time may ma
terially change. 1t can not be supposed
that 1t was the intention of congress to
give away this large body OF land upon pre-
tense of complying with the conditions.
owing to the short time since the So
called settlements were made 1t Is i'm
possible to tell whether fraud has been per-
petrated upon the government. The record
and proof now sustain the patent. We are
assured by those who were authorized to
speak that the rights OF all squatters with
the railroad company Will be protected. II
this pledge be complied with in good faith.
il will be probably TO the best interest of
all concerned 10 leave the matter as it Is,
as should the grant be forfeited 1t would
either 20 to the STAFF Of Florida as swamp
land or remain undeyeloped, II the pledge
OF fair dealing with the squatters and set
tiers IN not redeemed further action by

Rum In New Hampshire.

In his inaugural address Governor Rams
dell said.
The immediate use Of Intoxicating liq
uors being confessedly the cause of large
part Of the pauperism and crime with which
the state is afflicted, and the moderate use
naturally leading to the immoderate use
the subject of temperance is one of deer
concern to the public. Some 40 years age
a prohibitory law was placed upon oul
statute books. The law has been enforced
in New Hampshire, as in other states, in
localities where decided public sentiment
has demanded it and can now be enforced
wherever the resident population desire it.
In our smaller towns, and perhaps one
half our territory, the law is either enforced
or sales are made with such secrecy as to
preclude any large consumption in some
OF our larger towns the law is enforced,
but in others little attempt in that direc-
ton is made.
Within the past few years the policy OF
restricting and regulating instead of pro-
hibiting the sale seems to have been adopt
ed in our cities. This, of course, has been
done without authority OF law, but it has
resulted in reducing the number of places
where liquor is sold, and probably the total
amount consumed.
