 There was rejoicing in Yuma last Monday when the welcome news came over the wire from Washington that the supreme court had rendered de cision in favor of the government n the A1godones land grant.
 This dispute, now forever settled with 10 possibility of it's reops ming has held in abeyance the prosperity Of Yuma county for many years
 The decision places open for entry Q greater portion of the richest valley in the Union. which will now be speed fly transformed from a desert waste into a veritablo paradise. For years the settlers in the valley have tOiled incessantIy. improving thsir claims and building homes. in the face of the fact that an uufavorab,e decision from the supreme cCurt would rob them oi the fruits Of their industry. Several thousand acres are now occupied by souatters and more than a thousand acres are under 2 high state Of cultf- vatiOn The complete reclamation of this vast area Cf fertile land will fur nisn homes for thousands of industri- GUS peopla and increase the wealth and usefulness of Yuma county several hundTed-f0.d

The Truth For Once,

In the Register of last week the
editor Observation-Disclosures he may
be-inadvertently stated truth
concerning the democrats of Bar
ton county, when he, (they, or
it, said:
"The main body of democrats
of Barton county are loyal to
the old fag-aye, more, they will
stand by it until the last breath
and drop of blood rather than
to see it's folds furled in disgrace
anywhere on land or sea. F"
Yes, and they will also object
to seeing the folds of our flag un-
furled in disgrace anywhere on
land or sea-" The democrats Of
Barton county said as much in
the following resolution adopted
by a rising vote of the largest
convention held in Barton coun-
ty this year, at Hoisington July
22d:
"Resolved, that we rejoice, as
do all other loyal American citi-
zens, in the success of American
arms on the field of battle, and
we congratulate the country on
the quick closing of the Spanish
American war; and we insist that
when that contest for humanity
and freedom was settled there
should NOT have been started a
war of conquest, of expansion,
against the principles of the Dec
laration of Independence"
That is the resolution, which
the whiskey-soaked, tottering,
gibbering "has been" Of the Reg
lister calls an ''un=American and
un-patriotic- c-fre-in- -the-rear, cop

Dewey. On the PHILIPPINES.

Again Admiral Dewey has
stated that, in his Judgment, the
Fillipinos are more capable of
self-government than are the
Cubans: IN an interview at Glib
ratlar, Sept. 10th, he stated to
the New York World correspon-
dent:
"You may add this" the ad-
miral said with great earnest
ness, 81 have not changed my
opinion which l stated in the
early days at Manila, then speak
ing of knowledge of both peo-
pies, that / consider the Philip
pines more capable of self-gov-
ernment than the Cubans.
81 took the keenest interest in
those Filipinos who were employ
ed at the arsenal in Cavite and
often was surprised at their in
telligence. With fair and prop
erly directed opportunities there
are great possibilities in the Fill
ipinOS."
