Under a late ruling of the inte-
 rior department it is explained that the government has withdrawn all
 lands in the Salt River and Color ado river valleys and no entry of these lands can be made in the land offices. Mining claims located on the lands proposed to be used as storage basin will not be rec ognized by the government. In the valley of the Colorado river many sections of land have been taken up by people who have been making pretense of homesteading the same, and it is these people that the government is striking at in the sweeping order withdrawing the land from entry. No interfer- ence with the work of reclamation will be brooked by Uncle Sam.

Wreck Near Frisco.

A special dispatch to the Exam finer from Pinole, Cal, Feb. 2S says: Through a misunderstood ing between an engineer and A. w. Taylor, colored porter and head end brakeman of Santa Fe train No 8, into which the California Limited crashed at Luzon last night, two lives have been sacri- feed, many passengers have been injured and thousands of dollars worth of property have been lost.
 Engineer L. L. Bennett of the Overland and engineer Tom Baker of the Limited met instant death, while Fireman Ed Thomas of the Overland was so badly crushed that it is not expected he will re- cover. H. L. Gardner, baggage clerk on the Limited, was badly in Jured and an unknown soldier was made victim of the colored DOT ter's carelessness.
 After the trains had collided, the porter left for Pinole to notify the operator at that station and then went hurriedly to his home in Richmond, where he was arrested today by Sheriff Veale of Contra Costa county. He was taken to the prison at Martinez, where he will have to await the coroner's in- quest.
 Taylor lays all the blame on the crew with which he had been work ing, claiming to have been kept in ignorance of the orders under which his train was proceeding.

For the first time in the history OF

being held in Lamoille County and
Morrisville has the honor of enter
tanning the representatives of that
grand body of heroes who went out
to defend the Nation in the time OF
it's great peril. Almost forty years
have elapsed since then and the once
large number is rapidly diminishing.
While the G. A. r. has seen its great
est days as far as numbers are con-
cerned, we are sure that as long
as there is a veteran left there will be
the honor and respect paid him that

The GOvernOrship.
(From the Barre TeIegram)

The M orrisville News and Citizen,
commenting upon the statement of
the Middlebury Register that the re-
publican convention would not NOM
mate Mr.. Clement, for the reason
that he bolted the ticket two years
ago, says: "The Register is about
right (why not quite right in this.
A few years probation on the part of
Mr.. Clement is necessary" Does
any one suppose that Mr. Clement is
going about the State delivering
speeches and paying his own ex-
penses simply because he has an all
absorbing love for Vermont?
Ifso, he is very much mistaken.
Mr.. Clement wants to be Governor;
that is why he is making this ado.
Two years ago he and his followers
shouted one shibboleth, now they
vociferate another; but each time the
real animus of the stir is to place
Percival Clement in the gubernatori-
al chair. The convention at which
Mr.. Clements followers bolted with
jeers and threats had previously
adopted the principal for which he
was contending, and there was not
a shred of a reason for the boiling,
save the personal ambition of the ex-
president of the Rutland railroad to
be the Governor of Vermont
Do the people'ot Vermont wish as
their standard bearer a man whose
patriotism consists in an attempt to
disrupt the party whose suffrages he
sought, and whose devotion to the
State interests consists in an at
tempt to ride into power upon a
platform long since advocated by
the ma ority of the State press? Mr..
Clement has a perfect right to wish
to be Governor of Vermont. That is
an honorable ambition for any citi.
zen.
1t is entirel v proper for him. if he
wishes, to 60 about making speech
es in his own interest, taking as
his theme some points of grow
ing interests among the people But
do not let any one be mistaken as to
his purpose; the road which most
particularly concerns him is the path
which leads to chair in the Gov
ernor's chamber at Montpelier.
