and Spain WIthdraws
the Request.

Considerable excitement was
caused . few days ago by a arequest
from the Spanish government to

withdraw the request and said it
was intended only as a suggestion.

MEN TO LEAD.

Let me repeat that compromisers,
traders and neutral men never cor
rect abuses, never found or save
free institutions, and never fight for
human rights, They always become
instruments for the enemy. Where
ever they are in control the party
is unworthy of the respect Of man
kind. Only men of conviction and
courage can save this land. Only
the men who stand erect ever get
recognition from the great Speaker
who presides over the dellberation
of the universe.-John P. Altgeld

The State Land Boards
Second Attempt On The
Settler.

Yesterday, the Land Board of the
state of ldaho,--after baving been
thrown out of the court here and
beaten on every turn, to add insult
TO the injury heaped upon the set
tier on White Pine lands, appeared
before the land Office here and made
offer to file on the contested lands
that has already cost the taxpayers
OF the state over $4,000, but Regis
ter West, acting on the decisions be-
fore him and the facts brought out
in the late contentious, refused to
recognize this claim. Speaking on
this same subject, the Genesee News
has this to say:
"The State Land Board Of Idaho,
composed Of Governor Steunenberg,
Secretary of State Lewis, Attorney
General Mcfarland and our own
State Superintendent l.. N. B. An
derson. is undoubtedly the most
pusiianimous gang OF oppressors Of
the poor that ever went unhung.
For months past they have been
engaged 10 filing on and contesting
land claimed by actual settlers and
on which many Of them have lived
for several years, hut the climax
was reached this week when the
selectors under instructions from
this gang of cutsthroats selected and
contested the right OF nine settlers
in that section, one of-the number
being a widow, Mrs. Cudy, who has
resided on the land claimed for four
years, never being away from her
house but two nights nor farther
than ten miles away except when
she went to her husband'sfuneral.'
