The Most Common Cause Of Suffering

Rheumatism causes more pain and
suffering than any other disease, for
the reason that it Is the most common
of all ills, and it is certainly gratify-
ing to sufferers to know that Cham
berlain's Pain Balm will afford re-
lief, and make rest and sleep possi-
ble.. III many cases the relief from
pain, which Is at first temporary, has
become permanent, while in old peo-
pie subject to chronic rheumatism,
often brought on by dampness or
changes In the weather, permanent
cure cannot be expected; the relief
from pain which this liniment affords
Is alone worth many times its cost.

TwoULD BE INTERESTING.

The Republican would like to have
Secretary George S. Walker publish
o list of the names and amounts of the
subscribers to his 10000 slush fund,
1t would be interesting to note how
many men worth less than $4,000 or
who control less than four sections of
land are upon his list. All those who
are now in control of large areas OF
public land need not expect to have
still further large areas doled out to
them. The government is not work.
ing for those who do not need its aid,
The fundamental object of the land
department of the United States is to
give homes to poor men, not to add to
the possessions of those already rich.
As Bill Barlow says, everybody
would like to have a lease law where
by the small owner would be able to
lease a small acreage to protect his
homestead from the devastation of the
stock of the large owner, but Bill
might have added: Except those who
are actively and constantly doing All
in their power to drive the small set
tier out and keep him out"
The Republican is advised that a Ger.
tain large outfit in this county that has
already gobbled up a number of small
ranches, requires that the ranchmen
bought out shall sign a contract to
never run livestock in the county
again That is the kind of business
that builds up cities and adds to oul
rural population, isn't it? And thi:
outfit is a contributor to Walkers
slush fund, whereby he hopes to con
denim and discredit the president and
the policies of his administration.

THE SECRETARY OPPOSES.

1t seems quite natural that Secretary
Garfield should oppose the Mondell 800
acre homestead bill. He has been
reared in the state of Ohio and in that
state such a quantity of land is an
enormous estate to the freeholder. II
is impossible for him to get the notion
out of his mind that the land of the
arid states will not ONE day be able
TO support a family upon every quarter
section; at least that seems to be his
view of the conditions in the west.
On the other hand, Commissioner
B%allinger, a western man during d long
period, realizing that even 800 acres is
not enough grazing land upon which
to start a family, recommended d $40.

had its way in the matter, it would

HAS LAST LINE THAT
PRESIDENT LINCOLN WROTE.

Ex-senator Steward of Nevada call
ed on the president today to talk with
him about the Goldfeld troubles and
thank him for sending troops there,
says a Washington dispatch to the
New York Journal . He expressed the
hope that they would be kept there
for awhile.
AS he passed the main porch of the
White house no pointed to the historic
steps and said:
Il saw President Lincoln get into
his carriage from these steps the night
that he was killed. l was the last man
to speak to him at the White house.
He wrote me a note that night that l
would give $1,000 for if I had it now.
MIR. Lincoln's calling hour for con

undertaking to classify the lands of the
United States and establish such a
unit. Generally speaking. about four
sections of land would support a fam.
lily, and anything less than a chance
to make a living should not be offered
to any homesteader. In the irrigated
districts the farm unit generally is fix,

It may be possible that Mr.. Mon
dell's bill will pass without the APPROX
al of the head of the interior depart
ment, but it is hardly probable that
such a result will take place, although
the president has repeatedly stated
that 100 acres was all too small for
the homesteader in the arid states.

United States does today, is n bright,
particular example. Canada, Australia,
New Zealand, Wyoming, Oklahoma and
Washington have had the same expe,
]rience.
Il venture to think that a fairly
drawn and equitable lease law, giving
& legal control to the land used, would
have the unanimous support of the
stockmen of the west, barring only the
tribe of range pirates who have no
standing in any settled community,
and are o entitled to any protection
under this or any other law
The essentials of such a law in my
Judgment, would be-
First: 1t must be on an acreage
basis. This would absolutely elimi-
nate the most hateful features of the
Burkett bill, government control of a
private business. Let Uncle Sam lease
every acre of his grazing lands, the
]lessees will do the rest. without cost
ing one cent for supervision, the range
will be used to the best advantage,
improvements made on it, it's carry
ing capacity increased and the wealth
of the state and nation increased in
like proportion.
Second: The lands must be all
listed and graded, and a maximum en-
tai value placed on each grade fixed
by a commission on which both the
government and local interests are
represented.
Third: The maximum rental value
on each grade ought to be put at a
figure low enough to make the lease
not only reasonable but attractive.
Fourth: Actual settlers, the own
ers of improved ranches or of lands
which by their control of the water,
control a certain amount of adjoining
public land, ought to have a prefer
entail right for a certain time after
the passage of the bill, to lease the
adjoining lands so controlled"
Mr.. Taylor sets forth in some detail
his ideas as to what the law should
contain further than the foregoing fun,
damentals and concludes as follows:

ness sense on the part of stockmen,
and wool growers in particular, instead
