INVESTIGATING THE LAND LAWS.

Senator Warren's proposition for the
appointment Of a commission to in
Quire into the operation of the land
laws and also into conflicts between
sheepmen and cattlemen on the public
range should be adopted by congress.
There has been a strong demand for
the repeal of certain land laws; but it
is questioned whether that step should
be taken, Notwithstanding it is evil
dent that much land has been obtained
in violation of the spirit, if not of the
letter, of these laws.
The object of the government is to
place the lands now held by it in the
hands of the people and in many cases
the result aimed at is achieved. even
though it may be through technical VIC
lations Of the law. These instances
present a case Of damage without in
jury, and it would hardly be advisable
to place serious obstacles in the way
of private acquisition of public lands
by honest people because of frauds
committed by others.
The subject calls for investigation
rather than for precipitate action. and
this would be provided for by author
izing the appointment OF a commission
to make the necessary inquiries. The
same commission could inquire into
the conflicts between different occu-
piers OF the public range, and possibly
it could suggest a remedy for a con.
ditton that seems to he growing more
and more serious.-Denver Republican.

fair from start to finish, and its sue
cess is due mainly to the untiring and
indefatisable zeal of one man-Colonel
c. G. Coutant-and untiringly second
ing him in his efforts were Governor
Richards, Hon. w. c. Deming. Hon. w.
+. Chaplin and Colonel Slack, but it
was the brain of Coutant thai moved
all. conceived all, planned all and car
ried the whole thing { o a harmonious
and successful conclusion, and, rs
usual, his name was scarcely men
toned. Honor to whom honor is due
is an axiom as old as the hills. but now
and then honor seems to go where it
does not rightly belong, and in the
case a goodly share of this ucces
and honor belongs strictly to Cn'onel
C%outant."

TOM REED

During Harrison's administration"
said Reed, Il had only two enemies in
the state OF Maine. One of them the
president appointed collector of Port
land and the other he pardoned from
the penitentiary."
In declining an offer of 1000 for an
article on the policy of expansion from
n prominent magazine Reed wrote: 81
feel too deeply on the subject to TAX.
money for expressing my opinions
about it."
Reed knew nothing of the arts of
the politician. Once the people Of
Brunswick. one OF the important cities
OF his district. wrote him asking him
to use his influence to get them some
old cast off cannon balls and other
material to use on a monument. The
letter reached Reed when he was ex-
tremely busy and nervous. He sat
down at once and wrote his
Gentlemen" he said, 81 am not in the
old junk business this year"
Once Reed was called upon to ad-
dress a meeting at Biddeford. at which
la large number of democrats were
present. IF a Photographic snapshot
could be taken Of the democracy" be-
gan Reed, lat any time and at any
place, it would reveal them in the act
of doing some mean, low lived. con-
Kisses arose from the democratic
benches. There" said Reed blandly,
"l told you So"
Tom Reed used to wear a mustache.
Once in a barber shop he dozed of,
and the barber took advantage Of his
slumber to put a lot of pomade on his
mustache. When Reed woke up he
looked at himself in horror. Cut that
Id mustache off," he ordered.
"You've made ne look like a catfish
And he never wore a mustache after
wards.
When Speaker Reed came to Chi
cago after his first term as presiding
officer of the house he spoke to a huge
and tremendously enthusiastic audi
enve at old Battery D. 81 take tnis

when he could make himself heard, "to
signify popular approval Of the theory
that the duty Of congress is to enact
the will of the majority into law"
One evening a newspaper CORE
%spondent sen his card in to Mr.. Reed,
who was seated in a dark corner OF a
Washington restaurant. Reed came
out and the correspondent said:
Pardon me. Mr.. Reed. l mistooi
you for Mr.. Cleveland"
For heavens sake" answered Mr..
Reed, never let Cleveland know that.
He's too vain of his beauty now"
Once Reed went out to Jerry Simp-
SONS district in Kansas to make Il
speech against that reioubtable~ states
man. For the last four years." began
Mr.. Reed. this district has been rep.
Presented in congress by chaos"
Once an obscure member from West
Virginia interrupted Reed in the midst
of a speech with some foolish query.
yesterday" said Reed in reply, Il
had a discussion with Mr.. Wilson. the
head of the West Virginia delegation,
and today, however unpleasant it may
be. l suppose I shall be compelled to
have a discussion with the tail Of the
