This view Of the importance d the
land question Is undeattedlr corIect.
That the question has presented p
elf to the body polite rs one Of great
importance, Is shown by the fact that
nearly all the political conventions Of
the year, whether Of one party or an
other, have passed resolutions upon
the subject, and, what is to ID NJ
considered, they, agree in demanding
a change OF policy. 1t will be we'll,
therefore, to look into this history %
this matter Of the disposition Of the
the public lands, and to inquire
whether reform Is not only neces-
sary, but easy Of accomplishment. /
The policy of granting ]ahds TO thu
States for the benefit of railways, ca
nnls, de-, though never a party poll.
cy, was inaugurated and extensively
carried on during the era Of Demos
cratic control. Th0s, during the ten
years preceding the success Of the Re-
publican party by the election Of Mr..
Lincoln to the Presidency, lands were
granted to States, in trust for rail-
ways, as follows:
Iowa voter. [volume] (Knoxville, Iowa) 1867-1874, 1870-11-10

One Of our most distinguished pub
lie men has remarked that the dispo-
sition Of the public lands of the Uni
ted States Is one OF. the most impor-
tant questions remaining to be settled
by American statesmadship. 1t Is
intimately related, he says, to the
questions of labor, finance, commerce.
1t reaches down to tho very founda-
ton principles of our government ;
and, while It is vastly Important now,
will be more important i'd the future,
according rs q wise and just policy is
now adopted or rejected. For the
adoption ofa correct policysisnw will
tend to strengthen the cause Of de-
mocracy In the future, whereas the
continuance of a policy neither just
nor sensible, would inevitably result
In the prevalence Of vast landed mo-
nopolies, inimical to the people and
dangerous to liberty.
Iowa voter. [volume] (Knoxville, Iowa) 1867-1874, 1870-11-10

We thus pr.,ceive that the lond-
grant policy, irlaugurated in 1927, has
reSklte u the tn6n4er ocorpora-
tiobs Of 5ol, $50, IN ,aeres OF land
enough for an empire, representing
immense wealth, and immense COM
merciai and political power.
The question to be decided now is,
whd her. t4m4nse landed power
should be Increased. And this is sans
wered by the people of both parties
yith-an emphatic mo-" There may
be a few exceptional cases, in which
further grants may be wisely made.
But In THESE cases, there should be
provisions whereby large parts Of the
lapds 4tltst y Aoldto nctual settlers
at minimum government rates; 9TH
er parts left to settlement under the
Homestead law; and all sales, except
in alquaptities, to parties not set
tiers, prohibited. Land spectators
have done more harm than railway
landed inonopolies.. A few railways
may yet be aided on this plan, but
noHe on the old system. That has
had its day. This is cOnclusively
proved by the emphatic manner in
which the present House Of Repre-
sentatiyes killed numberless subsidy
bills at the last session.
/, That the policy-lands for actual
settlers-here briefly marked out will
prevail, and that orr vast public do
main will yet be the home Of mil
lions Of happy people, who had the
privilege Of cheap lands,on the home
stead principle, there can he no doubt.
1t is demand Of the people gener-

DISEASE AND DEATH.
There are more than 1900 sick

700 persons have died In the town
alone, the greater part from the lack
of proper care. The prevailing dis
easos are varioloid, spotted typhus
aud dysentery. Scurvy has not pre-
vailed, though even the sick have,
ivs over three weeks, received their
horse steaks and horse broth without
suit. The reported discovery of a
