IOWA LAND sPEgULATIoNs.

The following from an Iowa paper will
be recognized as the warning we have
given in times past:
The decline in price of SPECTATORS Ian Us
in this part of Iowa we look upon as the
hope for the future. So long as it remains
in their hands it will not only remain a
waste of grass, but it will prevent others
from occupying their lands in their midst.
But if those who have bought up large
tracts Of land, and then without the least
on it, put it up to a foolish
and fcticious price, can only be brought
down to reason, there is hope that it will
soon fall into the hands Of those who
should own it-those who will till it
The people generally are doing the best
they can to drive out spectators. They
are putting on the tax about as heavy as
the Law allows. From the groans that are
waited to us on the breeze
over the prairie, it is having its effect
Spectators lands, especially where any
quantity of it is owned in body, is not
worth as much as Congress land, for if a
resident buys of the former he is certain
TO have few, if any Deighbors There are
some sections of Iowa so thoroughly own
ed by spectators that there is no possibil-
ity of its ever being settled till its owners
die, break up, or are crushed out by heavy
taxes. To kill them We have no right
xnd if the pressure Of the past season will
not break them, ANY effort on our partwould
be hopeless. So our only alternative is to
frighten them with heavy taxes.

ag-D. D. Thompson, Philadelphia
Collector, came up to Charlotte, N.C.,re-
GENTLY, to collect several little bills against
firms in that city. The shrewd dealers in
dry goods, being short of fanas. pretended
TO believe that he was an abolitlonist in
disguise, got up on excitement, hustled
him off to train ofcsrs, and in a twink
ling he was whisked out of town.

POPULATION OF CHIoAGo.-The tota
vote of Chicago at the last election, reach
ed the number of 1921. This is a larg
err vote than was cast in st. Louis, and
not far behind the usual Cincinnati poll
1t exceeds the vote cast at the last presiden-
tial election by 446s. Reckoning one vo-
ter to seven inhabitants, for a city like
this it would indicate the presence of a
population of 1872, S47.

thus speaks Of sevetal important measures
before the Legislature:

vided that the bill will be amended and
patched up until all parties are dissatisfied,

the best points for the Pacific terminus Of the road
and wifi the most satisfactory resultp. Since the
completion of this work he has acted deputy sgen;

Library Association, was delivered lss, evening st Cn
ton Hal, Aster Place, before sparse audience. The
ec'uIer described the army in India its organization,
constituent elements, peculiarly Of service, and
means of transport, &c. The recent outbreak
among the Sepoys, he said, was directly trsoe.
able to the admission Of the Brahmins into tho
Bengal army. This caste exered powerful iu-

Possession of power had been continually making de.

had just passed.
