Saving the Lands for the People.

One of the most important works of the present administra- tion is the protection of the gov ernment lands for actual settlers. The republican party ever since its formation has been the friend of the poor man who wants to acquire 0 homestead for himself and family and is willing to ap- ply his industry on the unoccu- pied lands to be found especially in the new states and the terri tories. Every new home strength ems the government and adds to its wealth as well as provides comfort and independence for brave and estimable tollers. Anything that can deprive the people of this opportunity, one that is unknown in the nations of Europe, is a wrong of pecu- liar baseness, and should be stamped out with a resolute pur- pose and a vigorous hand.
 Complicated systems of fraud have been invented by which rich speculators can step in ahead of the people, but the President and Secretary Hitch cock are breaking them up as fast as they can be uncovered, and the unmasking process is not of the half-hearted or indul- gent sort. Some of the most in tiuential swindlerS are under in dictment, and their schemes will be still more fully exposed when their trials begin. Government lands in the United States are enhanced in value as opportuni- ties by the new irrigation law, for whose practical application many millions in cash has al- ready accumulated. The tricks of land sharks are many, but eff cient and determined officials are on their trail. Their proper punishment will give great sat isfaotion to the people.

To Re.Suryey Lands.

A press dispatch from Washington announces that the commissioner of the general land office has directed that the Imperial valley lands be re- surveyed, in accordance with the re- quest of settlers. The land is to be surveyed in. parts by metes and bounds, in accordance with private survey that was made, and thus give to each of the settlers the land located upon and now occupied by him, rather than carry out the original plans for surveying land which would have the result in many instances of settlers losing part of their improvements.

The Southern Pacific is pre- pairing to double the size of it's car shops at Sacramento, and when the work is completed en- ployment will be given to 5000 men. Sacramento will then have the distinction of standing second to no other railroad re- pair center in the United States. The money to be expended by the railroad company in these improvements will approximate S3, 800, ,OO0.

The postmaster general has made provision for more rigidly inspecting the mails to see that the railroads do not get more than IS coming to them on the transportation of second-class matter, and all provisions seem to have been made to insure smooth working of the great sys- tenn without undue extravaganza. The general features of the bill seem to be good, and the depart ment is one that is so closely in touch with the public that any reasonable expenditure for it's maintenance can hardly be grudged.

Philanthropy Does Not Pay.

A wagon, heavily loaded with paving stones, was slowly mov- ing along the street-car tracks.
 The motorman of a street-car immediately in the rear was shouting and ringing the gong.
 After a time the driver turned his head with a surprised look.
 "Get out of there!" yelled the motorman.
 "I'm gettin'," apathetically an- swered the driver, leisurely turn ing his horses to the right.
 The horses succeeded in pull ing the wagon partially off the track, but the front wheels sank down into a hole in the worn out cedar block pavement and re- fused to move any further.
 In vain the driver used strong language and the horses tugged.
 They could almost do it, but not quite.
 A large, beefy policeman standing near looked on impas- sively. There was no emergency calling for his interference, and he didn't interfere.
 But an equally large and beefy passenger, with broad shoulders, thick neck and a hand like a smoked ham, became impatient.
 "All they need," he remarked, climbing out of the car and ad- dressing the driver, ''is little help. Get down off that wagon and take hold of this front wheel"
 "I guess not" replied the driver mournfully. ''I ain't paid for pullin' this wagon"
 "You're not paid for stopping a whole carload of passengers, either. Get down off that wagon or I'll pull you down, you ugly brute."
 "Get down." yelled a dozen passengers.
 The man slowly climbed down.
 "That takes hundred and sixty pounds of hog off the load" commented the aggres- sive passenger, stopping down and grasping a spoke of. the wheel nearest him. "Now, hold the lines in one hand, speak to your horses and pull up on that other wheel. Ready! Now"
 The horses tugged, the big man heaved with all his might, and the wagon moved off the track.
 There was a cheer from the passengers, the conductor gave the bell two quick rings, the motorman turned on the power and the car dashed ahead, leav- ing the large, beefy man stand ing in the roadway, wiping his forehead with his handkerchief and gazing with open-mouthed bewilderment at the fast-vanish- ing car.
 "Well, by dang!" was all he said.

CANDIDATES FOR MAYOR

l.. w. Alexander, who headed the winning city ticket, is natur- ally in line with the Mayoralty, and would fill the position with credit. John Gandolfo, who saved the defeated ticket from entire oblivion, has also been suggested. Both are good busi- ness men and first-class citizens, vitally interested in the welfare of the city, and either would be satisfactory to the Sentinel, and we believe, to the majority of the people of Yuma.

Women are said to be queer, says Bent Murdock. The family cat, which was away two nights, came home with split ear, and the woman took him in, fed and coddled and arnicaed him, so that in few days he was fairly comfortable. Suppose the man of the house, after staying out two nights, had come home like the tom cat, what do you think would have happened to him?

over 10000 for the railroad commits
