He had always worked to have these lands taken back by the Government to be used for homesteading. m Ala bama the Government had permitted single individuals to secure thousands of acres of lands by making cash en- tries. He had been able to secure the passage of laws which had taken back these lands and given them to homesteaders. To this act, he believed, was due in no small part the prosperity or Geneva County and of the entire wiregras region

JUDGE ELLIS OPPORTUNITY.

The East Oregonian is delighted to
receive from Judge w. r. Ellis, con-
gressman-ele from this district his
first public utterance on the question
of the repeal of the pernicious Ian
laws by which the gigantic land frauds
of the west have been accomplished
and this paper is especially gratified
to know that Judge Ellis is in favor of
repeating the most pernicious of those
laws.
1t seems that this is an opportunity
for Judge Ellis to make a national
reputation in congress. oregon has
gained national fame through the
prominence of her land frauds. 1t is
especially fitting and peculiarly note
worthy that the repeal of those laws
by which the frauds We're made possi-
bic should be championed by an Ore
gon congressman.
Judge Ellis is not a new member
of congress. in the common meaning
of that term. He has served six years
there and will find many of his old
associates in congress on his return.
He will be in position to begin active
work on mis- first entrance into the
halls Of congress and the East Ore
gonian hopes TO see him introduce a
bill for the repeal of the timber and
stone act and the desert land act, on
the first day of the next session.
Such action on the part of an Ore
gon congressman will convince the ma
tion that the state does not indorse the
frauds, does not indorse the perpe-
traitors Of the frauds and does not wish
the continuance of the laws by which
the frauds We're committed
oregon is to receive from the gov
eminent 4 wonderful development
through the reclamation service. The
most cordial relations should exist be-
tween the state and that service and
this seems to be a brilliant opportuni-
ty for eastern Oregon's congressman.

THE CITY OF THE DEAD.

They do neither plight nor wed
In the city of the dead,
In the city where they sleep away the
hours:
But they lie, while DER them
range
Winter blight and summer change,
And hundred happy wh'sperings Of
flowers.
No, they neither wed nor plight,
And the day is like the night,
For their vision is of other kind than
They do neither sing nor sigh
In that burg of by and by,
Where the streets have grasses grow
ing cool and long;
But they rest within their bed,
Leaving all their thoughts unsaid
Deeming silence better far than sob
or song.
Though the robin be a-wing.
Though the leaves of autumn march
a million strong.
There Is only rest and peace
In the City of Surcease
From the failings and the wailings
meath the sun,
And the wings of the swift years
Beat but gently DER the biers.
Making music to the sleepers every
one.
There is only peace and rest;
But to them it seemeth best,
For they lie at ease and know that
life is done.

THE RETURN OF THE MUSE.

Edwin Markham says that there is
a revival of poetry reading; that after
an era of commercial selfishness and
coldness, the world is returning to the
fireside themes. the lullabies. the SON
nets Of love, the soothing themes that
have inspired the poets In all ages.
He says the enlargement of the
public school courses to include ii
closer study of literature and authors
has brought about this movement and
that It will spread over the world until
the muse will be enthroned again and
placed on an equal footing with the
tiger Of commerce.
No period in American history
equals in genuine worth and merit
that period in which Longfellow
Whittier, Bryant Poe, Hawthorne
Cooper and other leading American
authors lived and wrote.
It was a period Of romance and con.
tentment. The national spirit was
higher, the national ideal more ele-
yated than ever before or since. wher
the nation quit reading and thinking

of selfishness, graft and evil wher
sentiment lost its power in the land

HOW DO RASCALS THIVE?

The nomination of ]. n. Gillette for
governor of California is triumph
for one of the most INSCRIPTIONS and
constituencies men in that state, Abe
Ruef, of San Francisco.
This is not saying that Gillette is of
that stripe. but his nomination was
secured by that boss and his crowd of
delegates"
George c. Pardee. the present gov
ernor, has antagonized Reuf in the
distribution of state patronage and as
a reward is turned down. There is
nothing else to say against Pardee as
an official.
The question arises, in the face of
such facts, How do such rascals as
Ruef hold their forces together and
thrive in great states like California ?"
Are there not enough decent men in
the parties to turn down the dictator
ial bosses Are there not enough
good and true men who have an in
dependent and fearless spirit to defeat
the Ruefs and the ringsters whnrcer
they show their heads in politics?
The only way to accomplish the de-
feat of the rascals is for the mass of
the voters to turn away from the or
ganizations dominated by such repro.
bates. Independent voting is the only
cure.

WHERE PONIES RUN WILD.

There is probably only one place in
this country where ponies run wild
and are captured every year by be-
ing driven into pens. This place is a
long, narrow island, known as the
Core Banks, which lies off the coast
of. North Carolina, between Core
sound and the sea, says the Chicago
Record-Herald. Here the Banker
ponies that make such good little
steeds for small riders and drivers,
live and breed and run wild until they
are captured and brought to market.
1t is over 800 years since the ma
cestors of the Banker ponies were left
on the Core banks. These ancestors
were fine large horses. 1t is not GER
tainly known who first brought horses
to this coast or when. But they came
from Europe; for there were no horses
on this continent till the white men
came. The island was not inhabited
then; and. besides the life-saving men
at Cape Lookout, few persons live on
it to this day.
The horses had to shift for them
selves. They had only the marsh
grass to eat, and they had no shelter
at all, so gradually they became
smaller, under these bad conditions.
They grew long. shaggy coats of hair
to protect them from the cold and
rain, and their hoofs became larger
than is usual with horses. because of
their wading through the sand ana
marshy places.
All the surface water on the island
is salt or brackish: but the horses
have learned to paw down below the
surface of the sand until they reach
the fresh water below. They literally
dig little wells from which to drink;
and while they have lost size. they
have become strong and hardy. able
to endure cold, and thrive under con-
ditions where large well-bred horses
could hardly live.
The ponies run wild, with no care
save such as they take of them
selves and up to a few years ago a
Banker pony belonged to whoever
caught 1t. Now, however. they have
a market value; they have been
claimed and branded and are the
