INTENDED TO SCARE BUYERS.

In the Nebraska state senate Thurs
day a resolution was introduced, calling
upon the government t o interfere and
throw open to settlement under the
homestead law the lands of the Union
Pacific Railroad company, advertised
for March 6. The resolution cites thai
the governments contract with the
railroad company specified that If the
land granted by the act Incorporating
the road was not sold or disposed of
within three years after the completion
of the road, it should revert to the gov
eminent for settlement under the gen
eral law. This condition, under the
resolution, is alleged not to have been
complied with.
In speaking of the resolution, B. A.
McAllaster, land commissioner of the
Union Pacific, said: The resolution
is based upon false propositions from
beginning to end. 1t is held first that
by reverting these lands back to the
public domain, settlement would the
more quickly take place, while the facts
are that in nos of the counties where
our lands are located there is an abund-
ance Of government land open to settle
ment which the people are not taking.
Again, If the Dad should be deprived OF
these lands the efforts Of the company
to promote settlement would be lack
ing, for it now has a personal interest
in having the land occupied. So much
for the settlement theory.
THE resolution says the road was
completed in 1868, whereas It was not
completed until 1872. If the former
date were correct the resolution would
be in error, for the land grant mortgage
was given in 1868, and that has not yet
been paid off. If the latter date Is cor
rect, the sinking fund mortgage, under
which the sale is advertised, would still
save the property, for 1t was given in
1878, within the three-year period after
the completion OF the road.
"A number Of years ago an attempt
was made through an auction in the
United States court to have these lands
forfeited upon a similar basis Of reason
ing as that contained in this resolution,
but after the case reached the supreme
court 1t was there decided hat the land
grant mortgage Of 1868 came under the
term disposition as defined in the act
enabling the Union Pacific to build it's
road, and the road was held to have
complied with all the conditions i'm
posed by congress.
The only effect the resolution can
have, as l look at it, is to scare a lot
of people who may contemplate buying
some land and induce them to hold back
IN the ground that the title is not good,
and that they might have trouble in re-
tanning possession.-Omaha Bee.

Sir Henry Blake, the new governor Of
Hong Kong, recently announced that
at his levees men would be expected
to put in an appearance in top hats
and frock coats, and there was great
CONSERVATION in the little colony in
consequence. The hats were the
trouble. There were only about half
a dozen mail kegs" in the place, and
it was not expected that the local hat

all,however, he rose to the occasion,
and was just able to supply the de-

OF A LAUGH.

She was as demure as she was pretty
and the PARKWAY look in her eyes told
that she was not think of the other
passengers or the busy scenes through
which they were being whirled, says
the Detroit Free Press. Suddenly, re-
sponsive to some amusing recollection,
she laughed. 1t was a ripple of musical
laugh in which all her dimpled feat
ures participated.
Smiles and filters recalled her to her
immediate surroundings. She blush
ed and muffled her rosebud mouth in a
dainty handkerchief, but this could not
smother her amusement, and she
laughed on, despite her best efforts at
self-possesion.
And the effect was only to make her
humor the more contagious? Soon
every m in the car was roaring. The
conductor found it difficult to let go of
his sides for the brief intervals de-
manded in the collection of fares. and
when he occasionally neglected to
work the register it was through no
moral dereliction. The motorman was
without the slightest idea of what was
~transpiring inside, except as he saw,
yet he shook and swayed with ire
pressible laughter.
When a crabid looking old gentle
man got on he thought they were
laughing at him, called the1n a pack OF
impudent fools and got off at the next
crossing. But nobody knew what she
was laughing at.
