Public'Land. , More than forty million dollars worth of public land has been sold ior cash during the last ten years, which would seem to disprove the often Repeated assertion that the public lands worth accepting as a gift are exhausted. While it 15 true that the public lands have. been disposed 0f too lavishly, es- peciall y in the matter of railway grants, it is equally true that those who want land can still secure it either by pur- chase or homestead eptry. For the sake of the land-seekers of the future, however, Congress should ' in‘ist upon the forfeiture of all railway 1:12.11 grants in which the conditions I: we not been fulfilled. ’I he land that .i 7' left should be held for the benefit of the people. ——-——-——-—~<o.o>——-— Wide Tires. The Massachusetts Legislature has before it several bills for wide tires on wagons, and the committee on roads ‘ and bridges heard some interesting evidence the other day. One of the witnesses was Samuel A. Dean of Taun- who wishes to have three-inch tires for all ordinary four-Wheeled wagons except those carrying less than 3:000 pounds, and four-inch tires for tip four- $1011.. carts whether two-wheeled . or wheeled. His figures showed that the 1‘ :Qst of changing wheels under this law wcul‘d‘. be only one- -fouith of the sum annually expended on the loads, and he was convinced that wide tires would do more good than had been accom- plished by the highway commission. .Actual experience was cited by Franklin 'Howland of New Bedford, who said: that city teams there have six-inch tires, that this is required for lhe preservation of the roads, and that it does have. this effect. He cited ex- perience in France, Austria and Ger- many;.in all which countries wide tires are required.- on teams carrying heavy leads. The roads are well made orig- inally and the wide tires help keep them in order, instead of cutting them to pieces. 4 A‘_ ‘v 7 t ' Two Disasters at Sea. TWO 11 is'aeters at sea at near 11 the same time, in both of which many lives were'in jeopardy. but were not lost, fur- nish the theme of conversation in many The big French liner tossing places today. i has been towed into port after about helplessly on the ocean for sever aidays, but the ill-fated British ship Legislator wasburned and with sOme of her crew now lies in the depths of the Atlantic. 11 ' The experiences of those'who were aboard the Legislator, which left Liv- erpool, February. 3, for Colon, are sel- dom-<2 met with. An explosion took place andthis was followed by a fire which burned for three days. Several sailors were drowned. The rest of the people On the boat were rescued by the steamer Flowergate and. it was not long after they left that the fire on the dis- abled vessel entirely consumed her. The survivors were brought to Boston. The rescue of LaChampagne was shade by the Boston-bound freighter, Roman, after she had drifted for five (days on the Newfoundland banks with her engines disabled and her screw shaft shattered. The rescue was must fortunate. In both-of these cases, the ship‘s olficers displayed great courage and calmness. ’ The' incidents show that the well- traveled path of the sea lbetween this country and Europe is so crowded that disabled vessels are apt to be seen before it is too .late to effect a - rescue of those on. board. A‘ V' Scouts War Rumors. Ex-senator Edmunds, who served while in the Senate upon the Senate committee on foreign relations and who is one of the best informed states- men in the country. upon international subjects, follOws in thefootsteps of Ex- Pi‘esidents Cleveland and Harrison in advising the. exercise of deliberation and cool judgment in the complications growingdut of the destruction of the battleship Maine. - remark that the same voices could like- .He scouts. the. idea who ‘ 11112111111113 was'ueseryed by the.

Spanish authorities, says the Philadel- ' I ENTERED AT THE POST OFFICE IN NOR-~ . phia Times 1 This was to have been expected, for men of the calib1e of Ex-Senatm Ed- munds are patriots and statesmen, not self-seeking politicians or sensational jingoes, and such men are naturally disposed to follow the advice of Davy Crockett and be sure they a1'e1‘ight_ before they go ahead. The advice and example of Mr. Edmunds should not be lost upon the people of the country in this critical juncture when jingo poli- ticians and sensational newspapers are trying to precipitate the country into a war right or wrong. As he is in private life by his own act after a long and creditable career in the Senate, he has no personal or political axes to grind, and is, there- fore, a much safer counselor for the people to listen to and follow than can possibly be found among the whole army of blathei'skites who are trying to foment yvar.

It isa wise man who waits patiently when his hat is blown off, until some other persong frets out of b1eath secur- ing it for him. Many amateu1 vocalists whoboast that their voices could fill a church, fail to wise emptv- it.

The friend who tells only the nice things she hears about us and keeps all the nasty ones to herself is the one with 11 hom we are apt to be most intimate. It 15 no longe1 con51de1 ed good form to keep step with the indi1 idual with whom you are walking.
