KEEPING UP WITH TH E TIMES A Democratic : Ofllcotioldor Flics In * dornumcnts to 1'rpvo llo I * nn JSiitliiislnstlo Republican tinnd OlUco Changes Itepected. WASIHNOTON BTJIIKAU , THBOJUTUI Out , \ 513 PODRTEItSTnSlllBRT , , > WASHINGTON. D. C. , July 21.1 Secretary Noblo's rullnr on tbo timber culture entries perfected before Juno 37 , 18S7 , Is of tbo hlgnost Importance to aovornl iiumlrcd of Nobrnsltn farmers who have bad their patents for timber claims held up for several years Uiulof Commissioner Sparks' arbitrary nnd retroactive ruling cf that date. Secretary Noble Orders that nil entries mndo under the timber culture net , as ootmtrueil before thb tlmo of Spnrks' Order , nhall pass nt once to putcnt , and that all entries made nftor the announcement of tbnt ruling shall be governed by the principles therein enunciated. Secretary Noblo's order is tlio end of two years' persistent work by Senator Paddock. At the opening of the last congress h6 introduced a bill and pusscd it n the sonata covering the point involved , Jpou its fulluro In the bouso bo added on amendment to the house lund bill wticn it came over to ttio senate , which failed with the bill itself. A week ago , as wired in the dispatches , ho prepared a brief on the subject whloh lie prcnnnt- od in person to Secretary Noble , urging Immediate action on behalf of a largo number of his constituents In northern No- braska. The order of the secretary la the consequence. The point In question illus trates ex-Commissioner Sparks' bungllntf method of attempting to do a right thing. The timber culture law requires that the land "shftll bo cultivated to trees" for n cer tain time. Under the ruling of previous land commissioners the time was counted as running from the preparation of the soil for trees. Thousands of patents were Issued on this basis. Mr. Sparks ordered that the construction to b placed on the law should count the tlmo irom the actual date of final planting nnd tree arowtb and ho hold up all entries made under the previous construction which had not yet been patented. Secretary Noble now sustain ! ) Sparks' ruling as far as all en tries made subsequent to bis order nro con cerned , but very Justly passes to patent all entries perfected under the construction of the department previous to Mr. Sparks' ruling. A noon iinrum-icAK NOW. Assistant Secretary Hatoholler recently "called down" a man named liaxtor , in the treasury department , who filed a lot of in dorsements to show how good a republican he was , formatting that four years ago his democracy was Indorsed to the highest de gree and that the papers are still on file. Mr. JJatchcllor tolls the story as follows : "It became necessary for the best interests of the onice to out dowa the salaries In that division. It uarrowoa down to two men , ono a republican und the other Mr. Baxter. I don't ' know really what his politics are , or whether ho haa any. His rcpuoilcan and democratic indorsements operated to neu tralize each other. So wo reduced bis sal ary. In cases within the civil service rules I shall not take polities into consideration. My only aim will bo the best possible organ ization of the oflleo , but there is ono class of people at this office who I am going to throw out. During the last administration a lot of people were appointed to positions as labor ers ana messengers and the like , and after ward , after passing part ol the examina tions , appointed to clerkships without over having passed a competitive examination. These 1 Intend to got rid of. They have no business in the department and cannot stay ; but wherever' a clerk was regularly np ; pointed after a competitive oxomlnatlon under tbo civil service rules , ho is pretty safe. As for Mr. Baxter's case , it was con sidered on its own merits , aside from his politics , and really I doubt if anyone could llnd out what bis politics aro. It is a very peculiar cose. " IAHI > OFFICE CHANGES I.I KELT , Senator Paadock Is expected to arrive m Washington again Tuesday or Wednesday , and It is believed that his return will bo fol lowed by a number of additional changes among the land oniccrs i the Nebraska dis tricts. There are several cases ready to bo acted upon , and as soon as the two senators from Nebraska say the word the changes will be made. Assistant Secretary Chand- Ipr , of the interior department , under whoso charge those land ofllcos come , docs not be lieve in making any fuss over matters of this kind , but is quite witling to appoint re publicans instead of democrats whenever ho thinks the good of the stnfo demands it , and the appointive powers In the state reach an agreement. SHOUT-LIVED HUBS. J. VV.

GOLD MINING NKAll WASHINGTON. Very little has been hoard recently of the gold mining operations which have been going on in close proximity to Washington. Your correspondent learned to-day thnt Senator Sawyer keeps a force of rnoro than forty men employed In his mine almost con stantly , ana Unit ho IB digging out enough of the precious metal to pay him a very hand some profit on his investment. Michigan , Illinois and Missouri capitalists have bought up all the lutid In the vicinity of Senator Snwyor's purchase , and within a very short time operations are likely to begin on a largo scale. These men , however , am conducting their business on the stock company plan , and they xvlll certainly not bo as successful as the Wisconsin senator. The llrsl mine in this vicinity was worked moro than two hundred yours ago by a party of Englishmen , ana air * ac count of their work IB given IQ. an old English publication iilmoit out oJ print now. ' Some twenty years or 13 ago n stock company was formed , a shaft Mihk , < and all the onpltnwas ! sunk in n mlno adjoining the Sawyer prop erty. The trouble with this operation was that the managers of the company depended Ulion gottint ; their gold from the stookheld- ors rather than the rock , but for A number of years several old darkies who live in the vicinity of the gront falls of the Potomao have been making good livings by crudely panning out the polu from the washings of the little creeks that empty into the Potomao. The geologists and sclontlllo men who were very skeptical nt ilrst now admit that the gold-boarlng rooks on the Potomac give promise of being exceedingly valuable llnds. It is behoved that the outcropping In the vicin ity of Washington is but' the terminus of a vein which rur a through the entire Au&- lachlan chain of mountains , terminating in Georgia. OIIBAV STAMl'S. It is a fact of some note In the postoBlco department that tbo contractors for postal cards this year out their figure * to prices far below the estimates of the department.

"I was a great deal turpriscd , when the bids were opened , at the lowness of the figures , and tbo government will tiavo a great many thousand dollars from this fact. The lowest bidder runs about 914,000 below any of Ills competitors , and they were all lower than was oxpootod.

EXILING A BELL. A. Cnrlons Performance in Rnsaia Some Thrr-n Hnndrod'Yonrs ' AKO. Ono of the most curious sights in To bolsk was the Knmaoulie Koloko , or "boll with the oar torn oil , " bays the Youth's Companion. It was kept in a kind of shed the ' near archbishop's palace - ace , and its romantic history is often told in Tobolsk. In the sixteenth cen tury Prince Olmltri , the rightful heir to the Russian throne , was deposed bj a revolt led by Boris Godunoff , who was then proclaimed ozur. The seat of gov ernment was at Uglich und there Dimi- tri Was sent to boBunder the immediate control of the unlawful rulor. The usurper , ( oaring that the popu lace might awake to the claims of the young prince , planned his assassination , and he was ono day stubbed in a court yard , None of the bystanders showed a disposition to aid him. A priest , hotvovor , saw the crime from the cathedral belfry and immedi ately began tolling tlio great boll , which was hold aaorod , and only rung on unusual occasions , such as the cor onation or death of a czar. Furious at this tacit expression of ronroach , the czar commanded that the priest should bo tortured and executed and the boll taken down and nlased be side the bodv of its rinpat- . The order was literally [ uU'riioTl and the bell was ijoato.n'tvitn'clubs by the ontlropopu- Inco , with the Czar Boris nt their head. But this was not all.

[ Special to TUB Unn.J No article for n lena tlmo has cnllc.t nut so much criticism as Justice Miller's sketch of Iowa in the currant number ot Harper's Monthly. It Is seldom that an artldlovrlttoit With friendly intent Is do much condemned as tills. As n good cttlron of Iowa , proud ot her history and her Insti tutions , Justice Miller would not say n word Intentionally io injure bar , but his state ments in what profoisos to bo a reliable article , liavo very much nnnoycd the people of the stato. Thui , for instance , In speak- liifl of the good orodlt of the state , ho says that It hasn't over 9300,000 of bonded Indebt edness. Tlmt may have boon true at some former visit , when the justice was on the luwu circuit , but there Isn't now n dollar of bonded indebtedness against the state. The last dollar of the war bonds to whloh ho refers was paid olt some .six yours ago , \vlion Congressman Connor was state troAsuior. The distinguished author mnUos n very strange uilstako also lu raprosontliiR that whout is the principal cereal raised hi Iowa. Next to wheat , ho says , ho would plnco In dian corn. The Judge tins the order of these crops reversed. Ho quotes from the census of 1830 to show that Iowa had ruUod In ono year 31,000,000 , bushels of wheat. If ho had consulted moro recent authority ho could have learned that last year the whout crop was but little moro than 10,000,000 bushels , whllo the corn crop was over 321,000,000 bushels , or ten limes as iiiuoli as the great est yield of wheat in any one year In Iowa. There Isn't muou doubt that corn , and not wheat , is kins : in Iowa. In speaking of Iowa a an agricultural state , Justlco Miller makes the mlstako that many do , of supposing that it has no manu factures worthy of mention. It will proba bly surprise him to know that n * long ago as 1834 tlio value of the manufactured products of this state amounted to inorothrtn tlio value of the entire corn crop for that year , Tlio state census of 1835 shows that thcro were nt that time 2,8 ( > T > separate manufactur ing enterprises in this state , and that the tot.il value of their product- } for the preced ing your was § 70,355,508. The corn crop that year wasn't ai largo as it has been since , but last yenr , when it was the largest In the history of the state , its value , accordIng - Ing to the secretary of the state agricultural society , was but 8M,000UUO. It is fair to as sume that the manufactures of the state have also increased correspondingly and nro now fully equal in value to tint largest crop of corn the state over produced ; more thnu this , the Industries reported nro found in every county of the ninety-nine in Iowa , save four. This shows that Iowa Is quite a manu facturing state nttcr all. The Justlco also taken u little whirl ot the schools of the state , nnd , desiring to make nn honorable exception to his surprising statement that the denominational schools don't amount to much in Iowa , ho says that the CongroRationahsts have ono pratty peed school In Cornell university at Grlnuoll. Hut Cornell college is n Methodist school , and is located nt Mount Vernon , and not , at. Grin- noli. At the latter place , however , the Con- grcgatlonalists have an excellent school , known as Iowa college. The article also refers to the business of raising cattle as a declining industry in Iowa. On the contrary , it Is steadily increas ing , as Iowa has so come to the front in this matter that it is now the second state in the union in the number of its cattle , and the first in the value of the stock. la giving the mileage of the state the arti cle places the amount at a little moro than six thousand miles , with savornl states ahead of it , The writer evidently cot hold of some back number when ho consulted thq reports. Tlio mileage is now about nine thousand inllos , and it stands next to the top. He refers to the state agricultural colloga ai .having been organized "somo flvo or six yearn ago. " As a matter of fact , the college was established nearly thli tv years ago , and has been graduating students for about twenty years. These blunders show how seriously the article is affected by the careless way in which it was written. It is moio to bo re gretted because Justice Miller's ' high stand ing will give the article unusual inlluonco and weight. Bmallpox Checked. DBS MOINES. la. .
