THE OyERC0RwDITG
OF the Grazing Lands; Leasing The
Only Solution.

The question of the proper solution
of the grazing land problem formed an
important part of the deliberations of
the recent National Irrigation Con
gress. The frequent controversies and
fights in different sections in the west
have called attention to the present
overstocking of many western ranges
and the necessity for some radical
change in the administration Of the
public land laws.
The Irrigation Congress strongly
supported the policy that the national
government should allow the states
and territories to lease their public
grazing lands, subject to actual set
tement by home builders, the title,
however, to remain in the federal gov
ernment. At small annual rental OF
from two to five cents per acre for
these lands, the states would secure
large annual revenue which could be
devoted to the gra iual development of
irrigation works This proposal o
lease the public Ian IS is not IL new an.
untried scheme. Large areas OF west
ern lands are now being satisfactorily
leased to stockmen, aud where the
practice is in operation the stockmen
themselves, both cattle and sheepmen,
are firm supporters of the policy. The
great trunk railroads are leasing their
lands, and the state of Montana this
year will secure revenue Of 100000
from the lease of its school lands, stock
men gladly paying the rental charged
by the state, which gives them the ex-
slusive use of the Land, rather than to
Craze their stock on the free public
range.

Unutilitarian Sport.

While the Columbia and the Sham
rock are spinning down the course be-
fore hundreds of thousands of specta-
tors it may be in order to remark that
nobody nowadays thinks of hoisting a
sail except on racing yact and that
nobody except on race course is look.
ing to or interested in the development
of speed in horses.
Among the numberless craft off New
York today the only ones that depend
upon wind for motive power will be the
two entered for the race and if either
or both of them beat the best record
ever ma le for sailing vessels the fact
will be of no more practical Importance
than if somebody had established new
time record for rolling down hill in q
barrel. The sea skill of the world, en-
gagged i'll its long task of developing the
last possible ounce of power from COM
pound engines, will be no more affected
by any possible results of this race
than as though the ntestants were
engaged in sailing prairie schooners.
Nlechanics has far outstripped sports,
and the fraction of second off the
worli's trotting record or victory in a
yacht race has no tangible relation to
the worlds business. For number of
years Yankee ingenuity has beaten the
Britons in the toy affair of constructing
racing yachts; but the Yankees trade
is still carried in British bottoms just
the same. The American race horse
has been develope to finer and finer
point of perfection an year by year
the work for him to do gets less and
less important and decidedly less inter

The question Of maintaining the su.
premacy of the American flag on the
Philippine Islands is not political one.
While the war is in progress no loyal
American can do other than support
the administration in the work of carry
ing that war to a successful termination.
The question as to whether the war is
right or wrong makes no difference. If
the war is carried on wrongfully and
will, rs some claim, work injustice to
the Filipinos, there is but one way to
remedy the matter. Bring the conflict
to II successful termination, and then,
if injustice has been perpetrated, rec
tify it. No true, loyal American can
ever wish for the soldiers of this nation
aught but success. The Atkinsonians
now at large in this country are not
Americans-they are traitors and
should be so treated.

"Lord Rothschild, despite the criti
cal state of affairs in the Transvaal
told his friends there would be nc
war"-these are the words of a London
cablegram to the New York CONNER
cial Advertiser, and transmitted to the
country by the Associated Press. The
head of the English branch of this great
b mixing house usually knows what he
is talking about. Even with England
forwarding troops and munitions of
war to South Africa, and the armed
Beers fastening to defend their threat
ened frontiers, the conclusion can con-
fidently be announced, "There will be
no war"
1t is singular case of retribution.
Ever since 1916 England has been un
caasing in her efforts to force the gold
standard on the world. Now, as the
result of her dominating financial
policy, the whole British empire, with
its millions of people and its standing
armies of half million men, and a
navy larger than those of any two
nations combined, finds itself deiied by
q little South African nationality which
cannot put $1,000 armed men in the
fell, and which, under other circum-
stances than exist, would speedily be
wiped off the face of the worlds map
by England's forces. Ii is stern logic
OF the gold standard brought home to
the nation that has SO perSisteutly
forced it on the wori. The mines in
the Transvaal produce nearly one-third
of the worlds supply of gold. These
mines are mostly owned by English
men. Not only would their pro net
cease, but the chances are that they
would he blown up with dynamite. No
wonder London is on the verge of II
panic, in view of which the great money
magnate, overriding all policies OF
statecraft, aud setting aside the deter
mination of the cabinet, announces
that "there will be no war"
The obvious reason for all this is
want of gold, and the prospective
closing of mines that supply it. Fc7
once her financial policy has interv u"
to prevent England from and ,tpg
more territory. The lqRnd her eJ of
che gold st,would never permit it ., tish
credit pad I've declared Di,'7 rest on

RESIGNATION ACCEPTED.
Governor Stone Did Not Delay Judge
PershIng's Retirement.

Pottsville, June 3O.--Governor Stone yes
terday accepted the resignation of Judge
Cyrus L. Pershing, TO take effect August 5th.
Had he accepted it to take effect ten days
latter, it would have brought the vacancy
within less than three months Of the Novem-
Der election, and the appointee would then
have served until the first Monday of Jdnu-
ary. 1901. As it is now the appointee will
only serve until the first Monday Of January,
unless he is elected in November.
Judge Pershing asked that his resignation
take effect August 9th, bat the friends of one
Of the Republican candidates for the vacancy
endeavored to persuade tho Governor to delay
bis acceptance, SO that there would be no
election in November and the appointee
would thus serve over a year. Three prom
inent local lawyers rendered an opinion to
the effect that the Governor had discretionary
powers as to the acceptance and the matter
was laid before the Executive. The latter,
however, differed on that question and ac-
cepted the resignation.
The nominee of the Republican county
convention, to be held July 18th, will be
appointed to the vacancy by the Governor.

AN INQUEST.
Verdict Reserved Pending Determination
as TO Fire Boss.

Verdict Reserved Pending Determination
as TO Fire Boss.
Deputy Coroner Burke and jury last
night held an inquest in the case of Frank
Densawicz, a aborer killed at the Kelley
Run coliery on Wednesday, last. The eyi-
dence convinced the jury that the death was
accidental, but the verdict is reserved pend
ing an inspection of the mine laws and cen
sultation with the Mine Inspector, it having
been developed by the testimony that no fire
boss is, or has been, employed in the part of
the mine where the accident happened.
The miners inspect for themselves. John
Smith, the inside foreman, testified that there
was no fire boss employed when the late
Jonathan Wasley was superintendent. The
reason given is that there is always plenty
ventilation and no gas has ever been known
to exist there
