or lust.
A'rcmsox, May 2-1. ——Col. John A. Mar
tin, of this city, secretary of the national
republican committee, has been asked
as to the next meeting of the committee,
and as to what action has been taken
looking to the national convention of
1884. Replying to these inquiries he
states that the committee will meet in
\Vushington on the 12th ot December
next, to fix a date and place for holding
the convention. At the last meeting
of the committee held in Washington last
January the following resolution was
adopted: ' ‘ " ” '
Resolved, That the call for the next.
republican national convention shall be
set broad and liberal, so as to invite the
co-operation in without imposing any
other test than that all citizens who are
in favor of elevating and dignitying
American labor, protecting and extend
ing home industries, giving popular ed
ucation to the masses of people, securing
tree snfi‘rage and an honest count of the
ballots, and efl'cctnally protecting all
human lights in every section of our
common country, and who are willing
to suppport. the nominees of tho conven
tion.
The committee also fixed the basis of
representation in the next national con
vention, and the manner of electing the
delegates by the adoption of the follow
ing order:
"The republican national convention
of 1881 shall consitst of four delegates
at large from each state and two dele
gates from each congressional district.
The delegates at large shall be chosen by
the popular delegates of the state con
vention, called on not less than twenty
days published notice. and held not less
than thirty days nor more than sixty
days, before the meeting of the national
convention; republicans electing their
delegates in separate, popular and legal
conventions called on similar notice,
held in districts at any time within fif
teen days next priorto the meeting of
the state convention or by such delegates
as shall be chosen in the latter method.
If not elected previous to the meeting
of the state convention, all district dele
gates shall bc accreditablc by the ofiicers
of such district convention. Two delc~
gates shall be allowed from each territory
and from the District of Columbia, simi
larly chosen. Notices of contests may
be given to the national convention.
accompanied by full printed statement
of contest, ' which shall also be made
public, and preference in the hearing and
determining of contests shall be given
contestants according to the dates of
reception of such notices and statements
by the national committee.

; Washington special s-ys that Secretary
‘ Teller says: “I have deemed it my duty

Icompany that they are only entitlml to
alternate sections, reserved in the second
indemnity strip, but alternate sections in
l the first indemnity strip will not be held
l for any longer period than necessary for
l the road to make its selections. The

here, among them being Roscoe Conk

in the second indemnitv strip than he
has within the belt of the granted land.
They claimed that the lands in both of

make gum] any deficiencies which might
be found to exist Within its granted tract
‘ was a matter within the discretion «If the
Secretary of the Interior. That discre
> tiun I determined to exercise in the
‘direction of opening to settlers as speed
ily as possible all lands within the in
demnity strips to which the mad might
not be entitled‘ as» it seemed clear there
would be an abundance of land in the
odd sections in the first strip to supply
all deficiencies within the granted tract.
[decided tonot withdraw the lands in
the second indemnity strip on the west
end of the line and decided also to give
the road notice that its selection in the
first strip must be made as soon as possi
ble. The road complained that the delay
in making the selections was in a. great
measure the fault of the interior depart.-
ment. and upon a careful inquiry their
Complaint seems to he in part well
founded. The first step towards making
the selection of lands in the indemnity
strip was to ascertain how much land had
been lost by preemption entry within the
granted tract. This the railroad could
not ascertain except by a search through
the local land offices, which would con
sumea vast amount of time. It will re
quire much time for the government to
do this. The land ofiiec infomis me that
fully two months will he required to
make an exact compilation of all the
quartersections that have. been taken out
from within the granted tract al (mg the
vast line of the Northern Pacific within
its granted tram (. That company will be
required to make its selection within the
first indemnity. This the road has ex
pressed a willingness to do, and it is,
therefore. probable that such of the odd
sections within the first indemnity strip
as may not be required to make good
the deficiencies within the granted tract
will be opened for settlement this sum
mer. Of course even numbered sections
are opened at any time. Here is r. popu
lar misunderstanding, I think, as to the
extent of the withdrawal within this
strip. The government does not: with
draw any but. odd num bored sections.
Even numbered sections are public do

The match manufacturers of the east
intimate, it is said, that there will be no
reduction in the cost of matches to con
eumers, even though the stamp tax has
been abolished. But it is regarded as
an idle threat. which they cannot carry
out. Now that the stamp tax has been
abolished, competitibn cannot be prevent
ed and the monopoly will not be able to
control the trade. Before the repeal the
large manufacturers derived an import—
ant advantage from the existence of the
tax, for under the commissrons allowed
by the government on large sales of
stamps, those match manufacturers who
held a monopoly of the trade were able
sell their matched at cost of manufacture
or even below that figure, and ntillmnka
money from the commission allowed
them on stamps.

chief engineer of the Mississippi. who
1 was burned to death at Seattle, came to
‘ this Coast in 1867, having been engaged
in New York by John Birmingham. su
perintendent, of the North Pacific Trans
portation Company, as chief engineer of
the Pacific. His first trip was in that
steamer from San Francisco to Mafia.
when Gen. llalleck and shut? were on
board. 110 was afterwards chief engineer
of the Moses Taylor and ()ritlamc. In
the latter ship he ran to Portland for a
long time. A few years ago he dropped
out of sea life, but went. back to his old
occupation last ‘year, having been ap
pointed first assistant engineer of the

pouring in there will be little or no gov

years hence. It is probable that every
quarter section in Hanson county will be
settled upon before the summer of 1833
is ended. And this may he said of many
other countriesin North Dakota. 'l'hese
immigrants are coming from every cust
ern state and from nearly every country
of the old world. In a few years north
Dakota will be producing wheat enough
