give leases to parties who desire them
merely for speculative purposes and
not for the purpose OF developing the

liberal in their terms 10 parties who
lease their laud in good faith. and

The Evil OF Giving Mechanics.

Editor George d, Cline in his paper,
The Hudson True Republican, has
this to say concerning Il practice which
is common with all classes of people:
cone of the worst things in the
world to do is to faston niclluamcs up
on people, especially upon members
Of one's own family, This goes With
families of not very high social order
but some of them are never satisfied
until all the members become known
by some name besides the right one,
The evil of this is seen no more forci-
bly, than when it is necessary for ii to
appear in print. 1t often takes an
hour of inquiry to find out correct
name before printing it. Few careful
newspapers will use II nickname. In
the same way those maintaining any
dignity will refrain from applying OPP
probrious epithets"
