to tremblo.' Party lines were
closely drawn, and political 'ex-
element O high.
But the most stirring times
we're reserved for the PRESIDENT
al campaign OF 1860. When Mr..
Lincoln was the Republican nom
incc for President, and the Dem
ocrats had two nominees, Stephen
A. Douglass and John c. Breck-
lnrldge. Such political meetings
and excitement were never wit
messed before since In the history
OF our country. There were no
stay at homes, everybody took
a part. When the time came for
political speaking the town peo-
pie were OH hand, and the farm
as turned out for a distance of
more than twenty miles.
A red letter day Ia that COM
paign was the day that Owen
Loycloy spoke at Nation, when
more than forty thousand poop. g
were In attendance. They were
there in large delegations from
all parts Of the country. Many
OF the delegations had large wag
onS taStefully decorated with
flags and bunting, drawn by six
and sometimes eight horses. In
each wagon were thirty threu
school girls dressed in white, one
to represent each state in the
union and one for the territory of
Kansas. Ono delegation had IA
team OF thirty three yoke OF oxen

form on which men were at work

thought that the Wide-awake,

the Wide-awakes rent the air
With their loud huzzahs, and
narched up and down the streets

did they dream that they were

SENIOR QuESADA,

Hioh Prices in Inn;-

Increase in the price of grain and
foodstuff throughout India has become
a serious matter on account Of the
poverty of the masses and the low
wages paid for labor, according to a
report made by Consul General Will
liam b. Michael to the bureau of man
ufactures. He says that foodstuffs
have advanced 40 per cent. during the
last two years in India, while rents
have advanced from so to 60 per cent.
The cause Of this advance is as.
cribed by some, he says, to the ex.
port of too much grain and other food
commodities from the country, thus
limiting the supply and enabling a
certain class of spectators to raise
the price of foodstuffs.
There is discomfort among all
classes, except the very wealthy, be-
cause it Is almost impossible to live
becomingly on present salaries and
daily wages.

RESTORED TO ENTRY.

Washington, April 21.-Secretary Balm
ger. Of the interior department issued a
statemeHJ today showing that during the
past two weeks ne has restored TO pub
lie entry and settlement ]. 10 go acres Of
land which had been with drawn from set
tlement during the closing months of the
administration of his predecessor. Some
lands so restored were withdrawn in con-
nectiOn with government irrigation en-
withdrawn under the so-called conserva-
ton of water resources on recommends
ton of the conservation commission. Of
which Clifford PinchOt was president The
restoration of lands Withdrawn for con-
serVatiOu of water resources are emu
merated BY Secretary Ballinger as fol-
lows:
-Four hundred and thirty-nine thousand
acres IN connection with OWyhee river.
Oregon $4,000 acres in connection with
Missouri river. Montana: 5000 acres in
connection with Flathead river. Montana
10000 acres in connection with Colorado
river, Utah
In connection with reclamation service
projects the following restOTations OF
lands have been made.
Seventy thousand acres in connection
with Grand valley project. Utah: 3.00
acres in connection with Yellowstone pro-
iect, Montana
The fact that these immense withdraw
ais of public land were made for conser-
walton of water resources occasions con-
siderable surprise. for until the publiCa
ton Of their restoration to entry IL was
not publicly or generally known that they
had been Withdrawn, no notice of with
drawsl having been given TO the press
by officers of the interior department pre-
ceding the BallingeT administra ton.
