LEASE OF PUBLIC LANDS.
National Live Stock Convention En-
dorses It by Resolution.

Fort Worth, Tex, Jan. 19.-The DELHI
erations of the National Live Stock con-
vention yesterday were mainly on the
following resolution:
THAT such of the public lands of
the United States as are adapted for
stocl0men who are citizens at a reason
able rental and under such conditions as
will tend to preserve grazers from des-
truction and improve the value of the
grasses thereon
Action was first taken on the amend
ment of Mr.. Mckay, of Utah, that the
resolution be voted down. The subject
session and the amendment was lost by
a vote of 32S to 277 The original was
then passed.
Sheep men and cattle men of smaller
means, it is said, will continue to oppose
the passage Of the bill now in congress
and it is believed they will send a dele
cation to Washington in advocacy OF
their interests. Their convention I'M
animOusly endorsed John F. Hobbs. edi-
tor of the New York, provisioner as
United States commissioner to the FariS
exposition in it's interests of the dead
meat and provision industries of this
country
offered by Mr.. Robb, of Texas, against
a change by the railroads from carload
rates to hundred pound rates. 1t also
endorsed a resolution asking the depart
ment of agriculture to investigate the
parasite diseases of sheep.
A resolution was passed demanding
the restoration of the feed in transit
the roads. 1t is claimed that by the
abolition of this rate, stockmen all over
the country are losing hundreds of
thousands of dollars annually.

ROOM IN THE GRAND.
How Delegates to State Conventions
Will Be Accommodated.

According to L. NJ. Wood, the archi-
tect who built the Grand Opera House,
arrangements can easily be made
whereby the opera house can be made
to seat all the delegates to the big state
political conventions the coming spring,
and give room for more than thouS
and spectators besides. This is some
thing that has never been done at any
state convention in Topeka yet.
Mr. Wood and President Holman of
the Commercial club. went through the
Grand last evening and made the meas
urements on which this calculation is
based 1t is Mr.. Woods idea to extend
the stage until it meets the floor of the
house, making an uninterrupted floor
from the rear of the stage to the rear
of the parquet. The flooring which
will be necessary to connect the stage
with the main floor will have to extend
out only % feet. At that point it meets
the raised floor. The house is so ar
ranged that this temporary floor can
be put in with little expense and little
trouble.
There is as much room on the stage
as there is on the floor of the house pro-
per and if all the scenery were removed
and the wings were also seated there
will be seats for about 1.060 on the floor
of the house without crowding. This
would provide seats for all delegates
and for about 250 spectators, not count
ing the standing room.
The balcony and upper boxes will ac-
cOmmOdaIe sou people, ana the Sallefy
$50 more. Both the gallery and balcony
will be given over to spectators. which
will make room for /. $50 spectators all
told, besides the standing room in the
vestibules at the entrance.
1t is Mr.. Woods plan to build a speak
er's stand on the north side of the front
of the stage, facing south, and arrange
all the seats on the stage to face in that
direction. This would make the entire
convention face directly towards the
presiding officer.
There is 10 hall in the state of Kan
sas which offers such accommodations
as this. The opera house is we'll venti-
lated and will also be cool, which will
be an additional incentive at the time
of year when the convention will be
held. The acoustics of the house are
also exceptionally good, and speakers
can be distictly heard in every por-
ton.
These advantages, in addition to To-
peka's superior hotel and railroad IA
cilities, will be presented to the state
committees of both political parties
when they meet here within the next
three weeks.

Board of Education. Answers.

The Topeka board of education by its
attorneys, Welch, Schenck & WEIGH, has
suit brought by the state school fund
commission to recover the District No. %
bonds The board claims that when the
was taken into the city there was an
agreement that the city should be lilo BILE
for $1,000 of the bonds and should pro-
vide school facilities for the outside pcr-
ton of the district for the remainder of
that school year, and the district was to
turn over the city the taxes collected
for the payment of the bonds. This, the
board claims, the district never did. and
the. board asks judgment for s4,o12.1S.
with interest, which Is the amount it
claims is due it from the district.

night at the railroad Y. NJ c. A. rooms,
a committee composed of M Heery, A.
F. Wesson, /. d. Everso!e, James

Several made speeches denouncing
the action of the council in allowing

some declared that at the next election
the voting would be governed largely
by the action of the city authorities in

SANCTITY OF HUMAN LIFE.

Because it has been impracticable to
print them sooner, we have withheld
the remarks of Mr.. w. A. Clark on
the shooting of fleeing Negro, in the
back, by Columbia constable, until
now. But these remarks are still
timely, and we cannot think of sub
ject that is more appropriate for a New
Years editorial.
Several times within the past few
years, has THE ENQUIRER called es
pecial attention to this very subject,
and the sentiments expressed have
been almost identical with those ex-
pressed by Mr.. Clark ; but still there
is need for education along this line,
and unfortunately there is little dan
ger of saying too much. This is one
of the subjects to which we have long
given especial study. In connection
with it we have studied the Bible,
lUe leltel dni Spli ~ VI luS touSlitutloiI,
existing social and political conditions,
and we have talked it over with near.
ly every circuit judge who has presid-
ed in this country within the past Is
years. Especially we will name Judges
Kershaw, Hudson, Wltherspoon, Fra.
ser, James Aldrich, Watts, Bennett and
And while we cannot Of
fer a satisfactory remedy, we feel that
we can discuss the evil with the great
est confidence.

amounting to certainty, that bench
warrant meant that prisoner should
be brought dead or alive, and that if
he should be disposed to resist, even
to the extent of lying down and refus-

meant a life sentence in the pcnten
tiary. People in the neighborhood
were dissatisfied and talked so strong
ly of lynching that the sheriff consider
ed it prudent to transfer the prisoner
to another county for safety. AS to
just how much real danger there was
of lynching in this case we have
never been able to definitely ascertain !;
but had the lynching taken place, after
the trial, conviction and sentence, un-
der the circumstances, the guilty peo-
pie would have only brought down
upon themselves well-merited reproach
as lawless savages.
These incidents all illustrate differ
ent phases of the same situation. The
sanctity of human life is still an impor-
tant question with us. There is no
question of greater Importance in the
promotion of the enjoyment of liberty
and happiness. And as we see it, this
society is to be further secured only
by greater individual interest in the
welfare of the community in which
one lives. Let those citizens who are
not prominent and who led in thought
give the right kind of example to those
who follow in their steps. Let every
man demand that the most exact jus.
lice be dispensed to all-high and low,
rich and poor, in the magistrate courts.
Let unfair, partial and corrupt magis'
trates be summarily ousted from office.
Let every citizen realize and appreci,
ate the tremendous responsibility that
devolves upon him as grand or petit
juror, and let him scorn to recognize
any juror he knows 10 be recreant to
his duty. Let all demand the highest
integrity in judges, and let there be no
hesitation in denouncing disreputable
practices among lawyers. This course
upon the part of the individual will
secure the sanctity of human life and
will ensure the safety of property and
personal liberty.

kept captive in vacant lot adjoining
Hogg's home, and have aourished so
we'll that they are now probably the
champion ostriches of this country in
size. They have been broken to ride
and also to drive double to the family
carriage. Bryan has taken a deep in-
terest in the birds, and he and Hogg
have had much fun riding them around
the vacant lot during the past few
weeks. In order to determine which
of the birds is the feetest on foot, ar
rangements have been made to give an
exhibition race between the birds on
Congress avenue on next Saturday.
Bryan will ride one of the birds and
Hogg the other. Although no public
announcement of the proposed race
has been made, the report that it is to
take place has been circulated widely
and it is expected that a big crowd OF
visitors will he here to see it," Anoth'

Bryan had been suddenly called home

have to be postponed until his return.

will harrass them until they have
found their way across the Orangr
river, which is IL miles distant. The
old wagon route to the Free State
traverses Culesberg and crossed the
river by fine bridge $40 feet long.
II is believed that the Buers relreated
toward Norvals PonI, further east.
and the question is whether General
French will be able TO secure those two
bridges before the Beers destroy them.
Que important effect of the success
Of General French is that il will pro-
baby have Il deterrent influence upon
Dutch disuffection. There is some dis
position here to exaggerate the impor
tance of small skirmishes and engage
ments. 1t should he borne in mind
that General French has only 1000
men, and SO far as the important points
Of campaign are concerned the silua.
ton is virtually unchanged.
At Modder river the Beers appear
to he modifying somewhat their line Of
defense. General Buffers scouts have
discovered Boer camp established in
the vicinity of Springfield, southwest
of Colenso, by Free State commando.
A similar movement has been made at
Modler river. A large force of Beers,
il is reported, has formed new laager
about Is miles down the stream at
Kameelhoek.

CAPTURE OF CoLEsBURG.
The capture of Colesburg, referred
to above, occurred on December 81.
A dispatch of January l, to the Lon

strength, confident in the natural aid
afforded them by the hills around.
"The enemy's position extended six
miles around the entire village. Al
daybreak our artillery opened the bat
tie. The Beers were taken by sur.
prise; but replied vigorously. An ar
liIlery duel was maintained for two
hours. Then a Buer HotchkiSs col
Iapsed aud was abandoned. We cap
lured it. A Boer big gun was silenc-
ed, but this and the other Boer guns
were withdrawn TO the northward,
whittier we are harassing the Boer
retreat by damaging shell fire.
"Colesburg is in our hands, and the
few remaining Loyalists are jubilant.
We have captured many wagons and a
considerable quantity of stores.
"Our losses were quite slight but the
B ,ers must have suffered heavily.
They may stop at Achterlang or cross
the river altogether at Norvalspont,
where the bridge is still intact"
