WIDOWS TO BE WATCHED
Commissioner Hermann Is

Flan to Check Illegal Entries
Names of Promoters to be Be-
' ported to Washington.
WASHINGTON , NQV. 22. Colonel
John S. Mosbv , special agont of the
general land office , left Washington to
night for Omaha. . Colonel Mosby will
spend a few days in Omaha to consult
with District Attorney Summeis as to
suits to be instituted against cattlemen ,
* J
who , , it i ? charged , have illegally fenced
jJh'blic lands in'Nebraska.
Binger . Hermann , commissioner of
the general land pjpce , has issued a
general "circular to receivers and re-
gisters'of his office , notifying them to
In , k askance at widows dqsiring Jto
| nake homestnad entries under the act
of June , 8 ' 1875. The circular issued *
/ *
by commissiopef Hermann is as fol
Jows :
'
; ' 'Jt has been reported to this office
that persons are systematically engag
ed in the business of inducing , by false
representations of lawvidows of sol-
'diers to make homustend entries under
.the act of June 8 , 1872 , for the benefit
: of other persons th m claimants ; that
these persons seek o it soldiers' widows
| at their homes and represent to them
that they are entitlf.-l by law to ma'ke
veutry-of 160.acres-o.Maud.and ; periJectr
"title to4t wilhout residing upon or cul-
.tivating it , and thatthey are permitted
to lease oremer4nto a contract to.sell
their .claim as soon as they makethe
original Vntry. It is r pprted .that gul-1
dierts' widows have been'transported in
car lots from their homes in eastern
states to the vicinity of the land to be
- "enteredand all-their expenses paid by
/ interested parties , who induce them to
make entries and who secure lease or
purchase of land so entered ,
1'ou will report at once whether en-
/tries by soldiers' widows have been
\made atyouv office-"in considerable
' - numbers , at . about the same date , and
* *
"under"circumstances that would raise
Suspicionthat they were not made for
the sole use and benefit of claimants.
If any such entries have been , you will
transmit a lis't of names , giving num
ber of entry , date and names and post-
office address of entry men * You will
names'and residences of
also-give part
ies , who-appear to be promoting these
entries , and state your reasons for sup-
posing that the entries are not made in
good faith for.homes. Iu cases where
a soldier's widow appears personally
at your office,1 youwilj , before allowing
her application to ent'r see tht'sh'e
understands the homestead fBdavit
which'she is required to make. "
" * It is a noticeable fact that the vote
in what were formerly populiststronL ;
holds showed a marked decrease at
the.late election , due undoubtedly , to '
the fa'ct.that a democrat "headed tti'e ,
fusion ticket. Fusion as a matter of
expediency is all right ; as a steady
thinjj it loses its virtue. There is
neither-common sense' profit nor glory
in forever maintaining two organiza
tions for the attainment of one ob
ject /ve * speak of these things
not because we object to a coalition
of congenial comrades , hut because
we think the time for a complete re
versal of ourjuethod nf d i < i .business
politically , has come. If e're to
vote the same ticket , for pity's sake
let's drop the hyphen , nnd have but
one name Newport Eagle.

DEMANDS OF THE GRANGE.
They Are Opposed ! > ti Republic
ans , but F"sivorci by tlie Deiioerata.
The National grange at its annual
meeting held at Lansing , Mich. , Nov.
TJ decided on the following lines'cf
national legl.-lation :
"General rural delivery , postal sav
ings banks , election of United States
senators by the people , a constitutional
amendment giving congress , power to
regulate and control trusts and other
combinations , enlargement of the pow
ers of interstate commerce commission ,
regulation of the use of shoddy , pure
'food laws , provision for the extension
of markets for products equally with
manufactured RI tides , enactment of
antitrust law clearly defining what
acts on the part of any corporation
would be detrimental to public welfare ,
speedy construction of the Nicaragua
canal by the United. States , speedy con
struction of a ship caual connecting
the Mississippi river with the great
lake's r.a < l the latter with'the Atlantic
ocean. "
Nearly all these reforms "have'been
! > roii2ht forward'by tlie Democrats in
-ongres 5 and voted down by the Re-
publicans. As a majority of the farm
ers of the United States voted for the
Republican candidates for congress , it
would seem they do not agree with the
grange on the necessity for these re
forms or they do not understand that a
Republican congress will oitlier not
consider or vote against bills providing
for their adoption.
General rural delivers is the only re
form named that is approved by the
Republicans , and that , not being a
party questipn , is favored by a major
ity ; of both parties. The grangers must
urge their brother farmers to vote for
Democratic candidates for congress if
they wish to have these reforms pre
vail.
Prosperity For the Few.

of forty household articles necessary

THE D FL"AT OF FOSS.
Demand -iMusrriclsuscKs For Free
Ravv materials Defeated.
The defeat of Mr. Foss , the Repub
lican candidate for congress in the
Eleventh district of Massachusetts ,
was without doubt duo to the active
opposition of the Republican machine
of that state , of which Senator Lodgp.
Is tlie leader. Senator Lodge openly
opposed the nomination of Mr. Foss In
-the district convention ami uspd all tiis
skill as a delegate to defeat the adop
tion of the platform which declared
for free coal , free hides,1 free wool and
other raw materials.
In spite of the machine and Senator
Lodge 'ifr. F6ss was nominated ami'
the tariff reform platform adopted.
| 'This rebellion against tlie party iha-
dtfae and.the . protection fetich which
ic worships uiu t be stopped at all
hazards , and it was accomplished by
the lavish. use of money , furnished , it
iBtsnid , bythe protective tariff league
UuiL-the Home Market club.
Soii'atcr * Lodge being the chosen ad-
visfci : and lifelong friend of President
lla&sovelb thelight in the Alaswcliu-j
sdtts district is given a national impor
tance when tlie , u : tioual aclinmjst.ru-
tion is pretending to favor some re
form of the tariff. The action of Sen-
ujtor Lodge would strongly iudicate
that uiy real reform of tlie tariff is not
intPiJaJtl by the Republicans and that
f ee raw"materials will not be eoiiced.- '
cd to those manufacturers who are de-
manding.tbenu I this.small . concession
is not allowrj , how. can it be expected
that the greater reform of the tariff ,
for which ka much stronger demand px-
iats , to place , trust products on the free
list , will be even considered ?
A sop may b'e added by recommend
ing that anthracite coal be placed on
the free list , which would not relieve
the people unless , bituminous coal was
likewise free.
Thus the administration and the Re
publican party expect to stifle the de
mand for legislation that would hurt
the bad trusts , aud the tariff tax will
continue until after the next election.
