UNCLE SAINTS LAND.

This country Is not yet In need of
colonies for It's development az is Ger
many, for instance. When the 900, ,00D
acros of forest reserves are distributed
among home seekers, other millions OF
acres remain to be opened up in due
time. There are more than 200 000, 900
acrcs surveyed but not yet home
steaded. west of the Mississippi. OF
these there are nearly 10000, ,000 acres
In Nevada, about $1,000 900 acres in
North Dakota, over 22,o0o. 900 acres in
Colorado, about 21 100000 acres in Cali
fornia and 10000 900 acres in Montana
Some OF these areas are irredeemable
bad lands" but a considerable per-
centage OF the yet unoccupied lands
will eventually be put to productive
uses.
There arc also immense land tracts
not included In the special reservations
which have not yet been surveyed
Leaving Alaska out of the count, the
greatest unsurveycd area is In Arizona
and aggregates about 29,620.00o acres
There are yet nearly 27.000 900 acres OF
unsurveyed lands in Nevada and more
than "A, 000,O ,OOO acres OF this class In
Utah. During the fiscal year which
closed with last June the receipts OF
the general land office from the dis
posal OF public lands was $9.2S5.001,
and from Indian lands 1888, 900.

SPEECH FROM THE THRONE.

The speech of King Edward. at the
opening of the Parliament. outlines
the policy of the government with re-
Spect to the House of Lords PRO
poSals Will be laid before you" he said.
Ito deiinc the relations between ths
houses of parliament SO as to secure
the undivided authority OF the House
of Commons over finance. and its pre-
dominance in legislation" The nature
of these proposals was. further, inti-
mated by the King when he said that.
in the opinion of his advisers, the
House should be so constituted and
empowered as to exercise, in regard to
proposed legislation, the functions of
initiation, revision and. subject TO
proper safeguards, delay"
There is, of course, no intimation In
this OF any purpose to propose the ter
mination OF the existence of the House
of Lords, but II measures are adopted
empowering the Commons to exercise
sole control over the finances, and CIV
ing II predomlnance In legislation, by
the exercise of the functions of initia-
tive, revision, and delay. it is difficult
to sec what really useful purpose the
House oe Lords can serve. 1t might as
well adjourn for ever.
And there IS perhaps no good reason
why that body should exist. England
has in fact, a democratic form of gov
einment. National and local affairs are
under tho control of the whole body of
tho people. Tho ministers carry on tho
government in accordance with the
wishes of the majority in the House OF
Commons, and If they are outvoted on
any important measure they resign anl
the king, generally. calls cabinet OF
tho opposing party. There Is really
no place in a popular form OF govern
ment for body that Is not elected, but
hereditary. and which Is a survival
from past times of absolutlsm. There
may be good reasons why a parliament
should have two divisions, each en-
dowed with Its peculiar functions, but
in a democracy there should be no
upper house" That is contrary 10
modern ideas of popular representation.
The House OF Lords. as now consti-
tuted, Is really an anachronism.

BRYAN AND THE SALOON.

According to published reports from
Lincoln. Mob. Mr.. Bryan has taken
up the temperance question and de-
clored that democracy must divorce
itself from the liquor interests for all
time to come. Mr. Bryan comes out In
favor of county option in Nebraska,
contending that the people have the
undeniable right to say when and how
license shnll be administered. This Is
regarded as the political sensation OF
tho day. HIS attitude on this ques-
tlon. II is surmised, Will deprive him OF
the leadership OF his party In his own
state. Mr.. Bryan. in his statement, a.
published in tho New York Herald,
says In part;
THE right OF the government TO reg
ulate the sale OF liquor cannot be ques-
toned. and the right TO regulate is
the right to prohibit the open saloon.
The liquor question has been made
acute In Nebraska by the unscrupu-
lousness Of the liquor interests. In

some extent at least to the sentiment
of the community, we have the branch
saloon owned and operated by pro-
ducer OF liquor. This system adds tho
evils of the trust system to the evils
of the saloon itself. Whenever a com
munity attempts to deal with the
saloon question instead of having to

finds itself in a struggle with great
corporations which operate over a large

the first time in the States history.

lature had but one blot on 1t, and that

csts. They controlled enough Senators

In spite of tho enormous sum of
money expended annually by the fed
eral government I'm pensions to veter-
ans of the Civil war, the possibilities
of Increasing the amount are ever kept
In view by an army of alert agents and
politicians. For twenty years efforts
have been made to amend the pension
law so as to include among the PEN
sioners widows of veterans who were
married since 1890 Widows OF men who
served some little time In the northern
army and married during the first M
teen years after the close of tho war
have found the possession of pension
a great help in securing q second hus-
band. Naturally the ladies who have
married war veterans since 1890 and are
now widows feel somewhat out of the
