Boston Com msrcial.
Certain parties In New York and
Washington are spending thousands
of dollars per month in distributing
f~our-page supplements to newspapers
generally throughout the country.
These supplements are delivered, ex-
pressage paid, in the. Offices of the
publications, without any charge
whatsoever. They r absolutely
free to any publisher.
Tons Of paper are being printed
every week, and large amounts are
being paid the express companies for
carrying and delivering these supple
ments, even as far as Texas and.
Utah.
Publishers have wondered from
month to month what was the cause of
such unprecedented liberality, moth
ing of the kind ever having been ex-
p~erienced before except during politi-
cal campaigns, when the National
Committees supplied and delivered
supplements without money and with
out price.
"The darkey in the wood pile'' is
now making his appearance in the
matter inserted in these supplements.
It turns out that irrigation of some
arid lands in the Far West, for the
benefit Of a few individuals, the cost
of irrigating which to be paid for by
the United States Government, is the
object of the supplements.
Publishers to whom they are given
are expected to issue them with their
regular publications. in order that pub
lie sentiment may be worked up in
favor of obtaining from the Govern
ment expenditures of million upon
millions of dollars, so that these
almost worthless lands may be in.
creased in value, and sold at enormous
profit for those interested.
The newspapers are to be ma de the
catspsw for this purpose. The pro-
moters Of the scheme can we'll afford
to spend several hundred thousands
of dollars largely contributed by a
few railroad companies and interested
individuals, for, by SO doing, the
United States Treasury may be tapped
for millions, and the people of the
East, South and Middle West taxed
in order that the owners of this arid
land may be benefited.

great physical and will power, with
nerves of iron. This morning, having
heard that one of the most hated royal
