WINSOR BACK, SAYS HEARING IS
 SATISFACTORY

No decision will be rendered in the scrip land case until the field re- port of the general land office has been filed,' said Mulford Winsor, chairman of the state land commission who has returned from Washington, where he appeared in behalf of the commission at the recent hearing of the case conducted by the Department of the Interior. There is an idea pre- valiant that the delay in the granting of patents on the land is due to the action of this commission. This is erroneous. In no event would the lands go to patent until after the and office has filed it's report, and until that is done the department vii make no decision in the matter.
 Tt is very satisfactory hearing he continued Both Secretary Lane and first Assistant Secretary Jones who conducted the hearing, impress one as very fair minded men and there is no doubt as to their desire to get at the facts in the case. They gave everybody an ample opportunity to submit evidence, and I came away feeling satisfied that they have tn, facts in their possession.
 Neither Senator Smith nor Senator Ashurst took any part at the hearinp while I was there. Senator Smitr appeared, merely to excuse himself, as his time was taken up with senatorial business. Senator Ashurst did not ap. pear at all, but sent in a large batch Df telegrams by an attorney, which were read and made part of the record
 Congressman Hayden testified that he knew very little of the relative value of the lands in question: but Una, he sympathized with the bona fide sett Ter, who is striving to make home and expressed the hope that if there was any doubt in the mind of the se- cretary that he would give the settler the benefit of the doubt He further declared his unalterable opposition tc any similar exchanges being made in the future.
 We are entirely in agreement with Congressman Hayden in what he said about the innocent and bona fide sett Ter, and always have maintained that in case the lands were not approved that compensation should be made In fact we outlined methods at the hearing whereby this could be done But the number of such settlers actu ally of this sort has been grossly ex- aggerated. The attempt has been made to make the comparatively few settlers an excuse for the granting of patents on all lands"

There is more Catarrh in this section of the country than all other diseases put together, and until the last few years was supposed to be incurable. For a great many years doctors pronounced it a local disease and prescribed local remedies, and by constantly failing to cure with local treatment, pronounced it incurable. Sci ence has proven Catarrh to be a consti- tutlonal disease. and therefore requires constitutional treatment. Halls Catarrh Cure, manufactured by r. J. Cheney & O., Toledo, Ohio. is the only Constitu- u0nal cure on the market. It is taken in- tcrnally. It acts directly on the blood and mucous Surfaces of the system. They offer one hundred dollars for any case it fails tC cure. Send for circulars and tes- timCnials.

LOOKING FOR 4 REAL GODDESS
 0F LIBERTY; THERE ISN'T ANY

early in January, 1856. This Davis accepted, as will be seen by the fol lowing letter addressed to Captain Meigs, who was then in charge of the Capitol extension:
 War Department of U. s. A.,
 Washington, Jan. 15, 1856. Capt. Meigs, in charge of Capitol fix
 tension, Washington City.
 Sir: The second photograph of the statue with which it is proposed to crown the dome of the Capitol i'm. presses me most favorable. Its gen. eral grace and power, striking at first view ,has grown on me as I studied it's details.
 AS to the cap, I can only say, with out contending to press the objection, formerly made, that it seems to me it's history rendered it inappropriate to people who were born free and would not be enslaved. The language of art, like all living things, is sub ject to change; thus the bundle of rods, if no longer employed to suggest to functions of the Roman lictor, may lose the symbolic character derived therefrom, and be confined to the sig nal signification drawn from it's otler source-the fable teaching the instruc- i've lesson that in union there is much strength. But the liberty cap has an established origin in it's use, as the badge of freed slave and thoIgn it should have another emblematie r1ean- ing today, recurrence to that origin may give to it in the future the same popular acceptation which it had in the past.
 Why should not armed liberty wear a helmet? Her conflict being oyer, her cause triumphant, as shown by the other emblems of the statue, the visor would be up so as to permit, as ln the photograph, the display of a circle of stars, expressive of endless existence and of heavenly birth. With these remarks, I leave the matter to the judgment of MT. Crawford. and I need hardly say to you, who know my very high appreciation of him, that I certainly would not venture, on oues- ton of art, to array my opinion against him.
 Very respectfully,
 Your obedient servant,
 JEFFERSON DAVIS,
 Secretary of War.
 This letter of Jefferson Davis is classic. It would be impossible to put into our language more diploma tic suggestiveness of thought and senti- ment then his delicat. proposal to change Crawford's ideal goddess with the liberty cap into belligerent hero typifying armed liberty.
 Have we any Goddess of Liberty? If so' where is she? Is she in New York harbor? If so, did Bartholdi create her or did he get his idealiza- t1on in this country. Certainly the great statue on the dome of the Capi- | tol, with a helmet crown, stuck with eagle quils, is no goddess. The helmet IS the defensive armor of a soldier. It | belongs not to female, be she in the flesh, or in iron or bronze. The hel- met is the head armor of the bar barrie knights of the middle ages. and IS typical of war, and the symbol of a Pagan age.
 I conclude, therefore, that we have no Goddess of Liberty above the great nome Of the Capitol of the republic, and if we have one anywhere, where did the idealization come from?"

Eddicdted Sore Bent Cotton
ny CHARLES II. HANDY

When one is in doubt as to where to
purchase some unusual article, it is a
good idea to try a drug store, for it
would appear from the great variety of
articles exposed for sale in a modern
downtown drug shop that drugs are the
least part of its stock In trade, and that
everything from a hairpin to a keg of
railroad spikes might be purchased there.
Yet, varied as Is the stock and re-
markabe as seems to be it's resources,
1t sometimes happens that a would-be
customer will ask for some article that
the clerk cannot even say. Sorry, but we
are out. but have something just as
good and when a drug clerk can't spiel
the above libretto. the request must be
truly extraordinary.
The other day an elderly negro woman
walked into Averyt's Drug store on Twen-
tieth street. She wore q perplexed look
on her ebony countenance, the rest of
her was attired in calico gown. DIR.
e. W.. Averyt was standing near the
entrance and seeing the old darby hes
itated at the door, walked up and said.

night letters dated November 10 and Mo-
vember 16 had been received in which
the destruction by a mob of some prop

British subjects, and the search of for
eisn institutions and dwellings were r,en-
toned. No personal harm was done. the
letters said.
The board has received no cable adj
vices from Turkey for more than six
weeks. To relieve any uneasiness that
may be felt in view of this silence, DR..
Barton said he had asked the state de-
partment if it had any later informa-
ton.

Arthur Johnson, the stellar huricr of
the Barons is listening to the siren lutte
of the Federal moguls and in very
frank letter to a local fan the tall
Swede evinces desire to garner to
his depleted bank roll some of the
lucre that is being doled out to con-
tract jumpers by the satellites of James
Gilmore, the creator of the new major
league.
In his letter Pitcher Johnson admits
receiving a Federal contract but writes
that he will not affix his signature
until the Birmingham management has
sent him their best offer. The letter of
LanlSy Arthur in part follows:
walter Johnson has signed up with
the Feds for about million dollars
1t is pretty soft for that bird but the
only thing that he has on me is the
large salary he is going to get as
the Federals have also sent me a con-
tract. However, 1 am going to wait
and give the offer of Wordsworth the
once-over before ! kick over the traces.
Still the easy money with the Feds
looks mighty sweet to me-
