justice upon which our Institutions and
happiness depend. Let US keep always in
mind that the foundation Of cur govern

PRESIDENTS MESSAGE

The presidents message at the be-
ginning of the second session of the
Fifty-sixth congress, which was read
in both houses Monday, is q document
Of 10000 words. An abstract follows:
The message opens with brief survey
of the growing strength and increasing
power for good of Republican institu-
tons and American liberty at the out
going of the old and incoming Of the new
century. The Chinese problem is made
the dominant question In our foreign in
tercourse. and an elaborate review Is
made of the details of military opera
lions and diplomatic steps taken In the
progress of the settlement UP to the pres
ent time, and which have been made
known to the public by official announce
ments In the past. The circular note to
the powers of July is cited and reaf-
firmed, and the opinion is expressed that
conditions give hope of complete set
tlement of all questions involved Tho
secureInent of an adequate guarantee for
liberty of faith is put forward as one Of
the essential factors Of a. durable ADJUST
ment, since insecurity of those natives
who may embrace alien ereeds is a
scarcely less effeetual assault upon tho
rights of foreign worship and teaehing
than would be the direct invasion thereof.
China to pay sufficient money indem-
nifty. the president says:
I am disposed 10 think that due COM
pensation may be made in part by in
creased guarantees of security for foreign
rights and immunities, and, most import
ant of ALL by the opening Of China to the
equal commerce of all the world. These
views have been and will be earnestly
advocated by our representatives
In the event of protracted divergence
of views IN the negotiations the president
favorably inclines TO Russia's suggestion
that the matter of indemnities be rele-
gated to the court of arbitration at The
Hague.
In touching upon the Paris exposition
the message deyotes congratulatory
paragraph to the United States exhibits,
IN being not only the largest foreign dis
play. but among the earliest in place and
best arranged and more completely COW
ering the entire classifications than that
of any other nation, ranking next in total
number after those of France itself. Tina
awarding of a larger number of prizes
to American exhibitors than those Of any
other nation is accepted as a striking
recognition of the merits of the exhibits

PROPOSED LEASING PLAN.

Senator Wolcott of Colorado has
introduced a bill which outlines a
plan for leasing the arid lands of
the West. 1t is probable that the
bill will be considered by the Ma
tional Livestock Convention which
meets at Fort Worth, Texas, this
month and that recommendations
regarding it will be made by that
body. In brief the provisions of
the bill are as follows:
That the lands be leased by the
public land officers at not less than
2 per centum per annum on the ap-
praised value of the lands, the ap-
praisement to be made by the
Boards of County Commissioners in
the different counties, lease to be
for not less than five or more than
twenty years, and only for agricul-
tural or grazing purposes. The first
years rent goes to the government,
and after the first year the money
is turned over to the different States
and Territories wherein the lands
are located, to be placed in a pub
lie land development fund" to be
applied to the development, d.
version, storage and distribution of
water for irrigation, livestock and
domestic purposes" under rules
and regulations to be made by State
and Territorial Legislatures. Those
owning land under the homestead
or desert land laws are granted the
preferred right to lease at the mini
mum any lands they desire at the
rate of ten acres for each one they
hold by fee or title. At the expira-
ton of lease, holder has preference
in releasing, or if leased to some
one else, the new lessee pays for all
Improvements made, all develop
ments, water storage or bitches,
trees, ETC., being regarded as i'm,
provements. The bill provides that
lands leased shall be withdrawn
from entry under homestead and
desert land laws.

arship in the military academy at
Highland Fails for this year. The av-.
erage OF markings in all the studies
was above 81. The prize is q very pret-
ty gold medal with monogram. But the.
intrinsic value of the medal is OF course
nothing compared to the honor Of vim
ming 1t, and those who know how rigid
the markings at military schools are
will appreciate the hard work which
Mr.. Carney must have done to win the
prize. The competitive drill Tuesday
was participated In by the Marshall-
town representatives, sixteen OF the
best cadets from the academy having
been chosen, among whom were Leon
ard Carney and Wyllis Smith. Delos
Wilbur. who is one OF the prominent
members Of the band, could not there
fore take part. The rigid series OF
drills that the cadets We're put thru,
before Judges who watched every
movement, resulted in the boys being
dropped out as the mistakes occurred.
The two Marshalltown boys pressed the
winner hard however, and the boy
chosen as the recipient for the honors
was one who had had the advantage
of three or four years drill, a part of
