To stop Land fusu,is,

The general land Office is determined.
as FAR rs possible. to stamp out the
fraudulent acquisition OF public lands
under the timber and stone net, mn
abuse which Is growing rapidly OF late
and which has been brought to public
attention In Montana and Idaho, where
legal proceedings are being taken
AGAINST large number OF parties.
The practice has been for rich indi-
viduals and corporations to hire GER
tam individuals to make entries under
the timber and stone act. of rich tim
Der lands. making the entry OF course
IN their own name. The law requires
that such entries shall he made by n
person. who must declare his intention
to use the same for his own personal
benefits and who is sworn to have no
Intention Of selling his rights when
once finally acquired.
The local land c.iicers have not al
ways been altogether fair In their deal
ings with such individuals or prospec-
tive settlers. that Is, fair TO the govern
ment. Some have been delinquent
from oversight. others from design.
The matter was carried on to such an
extent, however. that the department
was forced to take cogniZance OF the
abuses, and as a result Instructions
have been prepared and are being sent
TO all local land officers intended to pre-
vent further abuses of the timber act.
The local officers have been instructed
to carefully and thoroughly examine all
claimants and witnesses under the
timber and stone acts. The department
believes that n large number of entries
which have been made in many states
under these acts were not made in
ppp1 fottI, fnr hf, .,f tho
entryman. but In the interest of spec
ulators, who procured the entries when
completed.
The department IL now anxious 10
put stop to these practices, II posi-
bic, and punish the promoters of such
fraudulent entries. Each entryman
who swcars he is making an entry in
his own interest and turns about sell.
ing his entry to another. perjurcs him.
self, and is liable to conviction.
Local officers have been directed to
issue no final certificate in any case
unless the proof submitted is positively
satisfactory in every particular nnd
they are convinced beyond n reasora'
bic doubt that the entry Is made In alb
solutc good faith for the exclusive ben.
ciit of the entryman. and the requireN
ments of the law have been actually
and fully complied with. In every
case where the local officers are not
convinced by evidence or through act
ual knowledge that the claimant Is
acting in good faith. or where they
have presumptive evidence, reliable in
formation. or good reason TO believe
that the entry is fraudulent collusiVc
or Illegal, they are to receive proof. Dut
suspend action thereon and transmit
the same TO Tho, general land Office with
their opinion IN the case. The general
land office will not be satisfied with
any evidence taken in u pcrfunctofy
way. The law requires thnt all ROAD
cross examinations will be made by an
attcsting officer TO further test the
good faith of claimants and witnesses.
No entry is to he allowed on the testi-
mony Of the cntryman alone.

Delay a. to por.., ,...r,,..

In "A letter to the secretary Of the In
tcriar. the commissioner OF the general
land Office states that he win recon-
mend the crcailon OF no more forcs,
reservations until the law governing
lieu land selections has been materially
amended. SO ns TO provide that lands
taken In lieu OF trncts within reserves
shall not only he surveyed and open
TO entry. bur the tracts so selected shall
bc OF the sninc area and approximately
OF the same value ns the rciinquishcd
tracts.
The secretary cntcriains similar
views on this general proposition.
There is therefore little probability that
any more reserves VIII bc created until
Congress acts. This means that no
action Is TO be taken with regard to I'll.
proposed Medicine Bow reserve In Col
orado and Wyoming. This attitude OF
the secretary and commissioner cx-
plains the long silence with regard to
this proposition and Is the real cause
FOR lnnction.
The secretary has endorsed the action
OF the commissioner. saying appiica-
tons were pending FOR the creation OF
reserves aggrcguting IO.OO0.OOo acres In
August. which under the present law
he would not undertake.

Some of the papers In this country.
In announcing that the convention had
adopted the principle OF universal suf-

meant suffrage for women as well as
for men. We do not understand IL SO.
Before there was any woman sun rage
In this country. our suffrage was gen
orally described as nivcrsal-meanins
thereby universal manhood suffrage;
and we suppose that 1t is the meaning
that is attached to the phrase In Cuba.
The universally Of the suffrage In
Hawaii-using the word universal In
the sense OF manhood suffrage-has
produced good deal of trouble In
those islands, and there Is some reason
to believe that the results would be
similar in Cuba. We have universal
suffrage in this country; but here we
have had universal free schools for n
great many years, and the theory is
that every graduate OF n public school
is fitted fairly well for the exercise OF
the duties Of citizenship. In Cuba
there has been no such general educa-
tion. and 1t will be many years before
the people Of that island are as well
fitted for universal suffrage rs the peo-
pie of the United States.

The proclamation that free trade is

from that island the Democrats have
continued TO dcclaim about the tyranny

so that they never would be able to
pay their own expenses, and some part
of the expense of ruling the island
would always have TO be paid by the

clnrcd its intention OF governing itself

would take many more years than it

the tariff law went into effect the
Porto Ricans are ready for self gov
