IMPEACHMENT OF THE REPUBLICAN PARTY.
The effort which has been pressed in Congress for
years past to so amend the Homestead Law as to pre-
cent the further sale of the public lands to nonresident
purchasers for speculative purposes has been again and
again voted down by Republican Congress Indeed
from the very date OF the passage OF the Homestead
Law the policy Of the Republican party has systemat
eay favored its notification by legislation utterly IN
