PHILADELPHIA Pa), Aug 49,

known committed suicide by jumping

jumped one of them laid a pocketbook
on a seat. The pocketbook contained a
piece of paper on which was written

CAssIN IN LIEU OF BUDD.
Committee Recommends a Change
in ORGANIZATIONS


The Committee on Order of Business
had a session that lasted nearly all
evening, the Golden Eagle being head
quarters. There was nothing very
startling in the proceedings, though
there was a material change in the pro-
gram. It had been generally under
staood that Governor Budd would be
the permanent Chairman Of the conven-
ton. After some parleying, however,
all agreed that he would be superseded
by Charles M. Cassin of Santa Cruz,
who will be recommended for the posi-
ton by the committee
The usual order Of business was
adopted, the nominations beginning
with Governor and running through the
list in the usual order Of their impor-
tance.
The committee also recommended
that all resolutions be referred without
debate.

estimate has been given, so have
various different estimates been
given-nothing is easier than maxi

of paper IS all that is needed, no

half dozen OF no breed and il

kept focks of some breeds will 90
largely above 100, but large ma

Publish the List.

1t has been suggested that the
publication of pension rolls, giving
the name and post Office addresses
of every pensioner and applicant
for pension would be a good method
of discovering any frauds that now
exist and OF preventing any in
the future. II any dead are carried
on the roll it will be known.
The publication of the pension
lists cannot harm just claimants,
and it is to the interest of descrv-
ing veterans to search for the other
kind. The list for each parish and
county in the United States should
be published in the official journals,
and then the frauds would be easily
detected. 1t would cost the Gov
eminent a round sum to do this,
but the great saving in the matter
of fraudulent pensions would am
ply justify the expense incurred.

Ahects Louisiana.

Washington, Jan. 8.-Secretary
Bliss has approved IN opinion
prepared by Assistant Attorney
General Handkerchief revoking the
departments decision OF March Is,
1895, holding that the act of Sep
TENDER %, 1850, granting lands to
the several states, had no applica-
ton to the State OF Louisiana, and
that therefore it was not entitled to
the indemnity provisions OF the act
of March 2, 1855. The opinion
says that upon careful examination
the departm emit is satisfied that the
decision Of NJ arch Is does not cor
rectly construe the act Of Septem-
tember %, 1850, and that the State
is entitled 10 the benefits of that
act, and hence to the indie mnity
provision of acts Of 1865 and 1857.
The decision of March Is is, there
fore, revoked and that of January
10, 1857 is reaffirmed.

The Louisiana Former and Rice
Journal says: The peanut crop in
Kansas yields about $50 bushels
per acre, worth forty cents a bushel
There is machine for pressing the
oil out OF the nuts, which commands
a fair price, and the cake left from
the pressure js valuable food for
man and animal. It Yields abund-

Spanish peanut, and 1t is a matter
OF wonder that our farmers DO not
plant more.
