after violent scene in the cabinet
during which the minister refused to
accept orders of President Castro to
recognize the revolutionists in Colon

port to Scnor Rico, the Colombian
minister. SenOr rulidO denies that the
invaders If Venezuelan territory are
Colombians, as President Castro
claims. but insists that they are rev
olutionists. The resignation of the
war minister caused "A profound i'm
preston here. The situation is more
critical. Government troops have been
defeated in the first encounter with

LAND LOTTERY.
Government Drawing Of Oklahoma
Lands Will End This Evening.

El Reno. .. T.. Aug. Interest In
the government land lottery will end
today. The commissioners propose to
draw total OF $500 numbers from
each wheel by dusk. This will be equi'
valent to $4,000 homesteads. Commits
sioner Richards said to-lday that, be-
ginning August S. 1875 names each at
the El Reno and l4wton land districts
will be called daily for sixty days,
for filing homestead entries, Those
who have not reg istered within that
time will have h,t their chance. II
is estimated that ,ully a thousand In
each district of taa $500 numbers will
not be taken, because OF homesteaders
who will be disqualified, or who will
leave the country. These two thous
and claims will be then be left for
wagon emigrants who fail to draw a
number from the wheels.

The bill before the Legislature for the re-
peal OF an old law authorizing townships to
vote subsidies to railroad companies to
secure construction should be passed
Years ago, when there were few railroads
and 1t was difficult to raise money because
it was scarce, such a law could be de-
Tended, but that day is away in the past.
To-day any proposition to build railroad
that has promise of being a good property
will be taken up by capitalists for the rea-
son that capital is abundant and those
who manage it are anxious to obtain pay
ing investments. Many thousands of dol
lars of Indiana capital are now being in
vested in mining enterprses-if any scheme
to build new railroad in Indiana offered n
fair return. would not those investors in
mines seize it? To go to a township for
a subsidy at the present time is prima facie
evidence that the enterprise is of doubt
full value that shrewd investors will not
touch it. Under the old law, upon the pc
tition of twenty-five freeholderS in any
township, county commissioners must take
the matter of the subsidy under advise
ment and If they come to the conclusion
that the people of the township will receive
a benefit corresponding to the amount taken
from the taxpayers they shall order an cleo
ton, and If a majority of those voting are
in favor of it the amount voted is raised
by taxation. OF course, county commits
sioners can refuse to call the election, but
they should not be relied upon. Where an
election is called a bare majority can vote
away the money Of taxpayers. In some
townships which embrace the larger cities
a large majority of the voters pay little
or no tax. Controller Johnson is authority
for the assertion that a large majority OF
the voters of Indianapolis pay no taxes.
Most of the older States have repealed such
laws, and law putting the property Of
taxpayers in such jeopardy should be re-
pealed here.
