THE HOMESTEAD ACT MODIFIED

The President having signed the
amended homestead act, it is Of inter
est to know how it affects the old
homestead act provisions, and what
benefits the present homesteaders will
get out Of the enactment of the amend
ments. The original homestead bill of
1862 provided for five years residence
on the land and left the inference
that this residence must be continuous.
1t is found, however. in the different
conditions in the Mountain States, that
this continuous residence is imposs BILE,
and that the length Of residence ought
TO be decreased. Therefore, the new
law requires but three years residence
instead of five, and il allows the home
sieadcr TO be absent from his home.
stead claim for five months in each
wear in order TO earn money TO sup.
port his family. Under the old law,
this absence was largely discretionary,
and was liable TO be interfered with
by Jealous, scheming, or hostile officials.
But in this mountain country il is a
plain case that no one can 90 on TO

Tor himself and his family from the
beginning; it is absolutely necessary
that one should have liberty Of absence

that this be solldly guaranteed TO him.
The acreage which he is required 10

ALL WE'LL AT CHICAGO.

All appears TO be going well al Chi
caGo. The National Republican Com.
mittee is doing its duty faithfully,
properly, and for the most part har-
moniously. The Indiana contests were
supposed to be crucial, and 1t was eX-
pected that the Roosevelt forces would
make firm stand for the contesting
Roosevelt delegates from that State.
But on the showing. the committee was
unanimous against those delegates, and
gave the seats to the Taft men. In
view of this fact, the silly declaration
that "the convention will undo the raw
work of the committee attributed TO
n Roosevelt booster, is the worst Of
folly. The real test of strength in the
committee on Monday was in postpon-
ing the California case. The commit.
tee voted more than two to one to
postpone. This is something that the
Convention could not possibly have any
thing TO do with. The Convention will,
Of course, vote upon the work Of the
committee, and IL is practically certain
to confirm that work, for the delegates
who are awarded the seats will be in
those seats voting on the committee re-
port.
1t was the same on the de-
cisions on the Kentucky contests yes
terday; unanimity was the rule, and
fairness universal. There ia not the
shadow of any reason to charge bias
or injustice on the part of the com
mittce, nor viii there be to the end,
as we confidently believe.
1t is well that the committee is so
fortified in good principle
and precedent procedure, so completely
candid and open that even the Roose
velt members of the committee vote

THE CASE OF FORT DOUGLAS

| The news from WASHINGTON j. tba,

NO APPOINTMENTS
 DECIDED UPON

"I have not definitely decided upon a single appointment l have enough applications to fill every office to which 1 have power to appoint from each of two different counties and every day l get new applications. There were more than fifty in this mornings mail. I guess l will be able to select from a large enough field so 1 will be able to get capable men for the different offices of the state"
 Such was the statement of Governor-elect Hunt last night. He was resting m his office aft CT a strenuous day with his sten- ographer, hal ing just caught up with the work the day be- fore. For a time he kept up with the correspondence of each day but now he is a day behind. Judging from the way his mail is increasing he will either have to hire some more stenographere or let the work get behind.
 He then pvinted out that the recent rports from Phoenix re- garding his appointments were ridiculous. He said he consid cred them a joke. He declared the absurdity of the list was shown when one looked it over and saw that Pima and Cochise were both left off the list en tire. ly. He is we'll pleased with the majority he got in Pima and will give the county an appoint. ment. Cochise, the most popu lous county in the state, solidly , democratic, has a right to part of tEe patronage which will be distributed by the new govtr. nor when he assumes office. - Bisbee Review.

 Under the special law provid ing for the election of Dec. 12th, the canvas of the returns is made by a board composed of the governor, the territorial secretary and the chief justice of the territory, instead of the boards of supervisors of the re- spective counties, as in the case of all previous elections. This special board will meet January 2nd and has something of a task before 1t as it will have to do as much work as the aggre- gate of the county boards in the event of an ordinary election.
 Territorial Secretary Young said yesterday that he would not be surprised if the canvas occupied two o1 three weeks, or the greater part of January.
