AAsS ~ n~SSs&s
Eighteen hundred and seventy-nine will long be
remembered as the time when all kinds Of bust
ness and financial prosperity seemed to spring
into new life. Merchants are finding plenty of
ready customers for their wares, mechanics meet
with ready employment at fair wages, and the
farmers are receiving advanced prices for their
products. and it is acknowledged by all that in no
part of our country are the evidences cfprosper-
ity and comfort so marked as along the entire
line of the Old ReIiable'' uannIbal& St Joseph
Railroad. And TO attain these results the man
agemeRt of the Hannibal & st Joseph Railroad
have given their careful thought and attention
and the rapid growth of business, and increasing
wealth of the community along the whole line are
evidences that their efforts are fully appreciated.
We are, as usual, running In connection with the
Chicago, Burlington & Quincy Railroad through
Day Coaches, Reclining Chairs (free,) and Pull
man Sleeping Cars from Chicago via Quincy to
Missouri river points. Also through Day Coaches
from Toledo and Indianapolis, with Pullman sleep
ing Cars from Toledo via DanvllIe, Springfield
and Quincy, to Kansas City, Atchison and st,

Cieses the year 1879 with flying colors. The pub

the season, reminding us to whom we should rem
der homage at the cheerful Christmas gather
ings. In addition is = beautiful colored winter
scene, and a double page of dainty triles for
Christmas presents, at once beautiful and sugges-

very fine, ana the costumes ofgreat taste and
beauty. Besides this, are several pages of fash

GEN. GRANT seems to have been
more favorably impressed with Japan
than any other country he visited.
Writing to his lifelong friend, Admiral
Ammen, the general says: II do not
feel rs anxious to get home as l did 10
months ugo. No country that I have
visited, this side of Europe, would 1
care to stay in longer than to see the
points Of interest, except Japan. Japan
is the most interesting country and
the people are quite as much 80. The
changes that have taken place here are
more like dream than reality. They
have a public school system extending
over the whole empire and affording
facilities for common school education
to every child, male and female. They
have u military and naval academy
which compares well with ours in the
course taught, and in the discipline and
attainments Of the students. They
have colleges at several places in the
empire on the same bases of instruction
Us our best institutions. They have u
school OF science which / do not believe
can bc surpassed in any country. Al
ready the great majority of their pro-
fessors, even those engaged in teaching
the European languages are natives,
most of them educated in the very in
stutions where they are now teach

The business of smuggling whiskey
into Alaska is a lively and paying one.
Trading vessels belonging to San Fran
cisco go to the Sandwich Islands, where
they purchase Honolulu rum for seven
ty-ive cents a gallon, reduce it one-hali
with water, take it TO Alaska and dis.
pose Of it to the native for bone and
ivory at the rate of three dollars per
gallon. Under the laws OF congress the
importation Of liquor, or firearms either,
into any part of Alaska is prohibited,
and vessels found in those waters with
any of these contraband articles on
board are liable to have them seized by
the government officials. A revenue
cutter recently overhauled one of these
craft, a schooner owned in San Fran.

GEN. GRANT will arrive in San
Francisco during this week and
already the people of that city are pre-
pairing for his reception. The streets
are being decorated, and various COM
mittees are appointed to arrange for
an appropriate programme to honor
the greatest captain of modern times
and the most ilIustrious American iiv.
ing. Nothing is limited at by our dis
patches relative to the vulgar threat Of
Dennis Kearney to insult Gen. Grant
on his arrival at the Golden Gate. As
to this threat. Kearney could do no
mor foolish thing than carry out such
a measure. 1t would destroy whatever
respect the people of the country have
Tor his leadership Of the workingmen OF
california. 1t must be remembered
that Gen. Grant has not been honored
IN his circle Of the globe because he Is
4 republican In American politics, and
As such was twice elevated 10 the very
frst p~ositionin our government, but
because he ranks with the worlds
military heroes, and receives that hon
or that Is ever paid 10 genius. As an
illustrious American citizen then he
must be welcomed back 10 our shores.
In honoring Gen. Grant, foreign ma
lions have honored the United States
and 1t were a pity il any American cit
lien should do less.

MINING and mining laws are a prom.
inent and interesting topic of discus,
sion in New York. Discussing the lat
ter the Mail is moved to say: 1--WE re.
ferred yesterday to the questions pre-
sentedtot the United States land commits
sion by Leadville conditions. The spir-
1t In which they are to be decided must
be that which controlled the trainers
of our present land laws. As we have
said before in the matter of the pre-
emption and homestead law, as to the
purpose of the wise and humane policy
Involved, SO We must enforce and en-
phasize the spirit and intent of the
mining laws. In both cases-as to the
arabic and the mineral laws-the pur-
pose was to encourage poor men to set
tie, and to afford a bounty to the indus
trious one to work.
The mineral lands of the United
States have been, by policy designed
fora benifcent end, converted into an
agency Of monopoly, the evils of which,
however, are not yet so developed that
they cannot be checked. Our mining
laws are loose generalities, and tine con-
trolling power is in reality the verdicts
of courts and the rulings Of the interior
department. A revision which many
additions and not a few definitions is
absolutely needed. Let us suggest one
phoaa oa,aofa1ly THE r,;rfr- Les. -
1872 declare that aliens shall not
hold, occupy, locate or possess the min
eral lands of the United States. These
are to be held sacred to citizens, or
those declaring their intention to be-
come such. But the provision is prac-
tically a dead letter. There is no means
Of enforcing it. An alien can be GUST
ed only by being refused a patent. This
he need never ask for, but unless some
citizen should '.jump'' the claim the
alien might remove all obtainable let or
hindrance from the law. In any event
1t is easy to put in a dummy or buy for
n dollar, or any valuable considera-
tion." There is at this writing at least
10000 alien Chinese on the mineral
lands Of the United States contrary to
law. They remain because they neith-
err work abandoned placers or gravel
claims, tailings, etc, or get into placer
gulches out OF the usual way of travel.
Yet 1t was the laws intent to exclude
all aliens, Mongol OIL otherwise, from
directly or indirectly possessing and
using the mineral lands. How to exc
cute the law is one Of the issues pre-
sented for the consideration of the land
commission" .,
