Monopoly and Revolution.

The great oracle of British opinion,
the London Times, is not given to
sensational statements, yet it says
revolution is impending i'll England;
meaning thereby that the subject Of
and tenure is to be overhauled, and
that profound social and political re-
suits will be the consequence of it. All
adyices show that the conflict over the
subject Of land tenure in the United
Kingdom is becoming ''irrepressible."
A letter from London to the New
York World quotes what Mr.. Ruskin
said in one of his books concerning it:
and this is presented as embodying a
clear and powerful statement of the
present situation: ''Sooner or later,
within the next few years, you will
find yourselves in parliament in front
of majority resolved on the estab-
lishment of republic and the divi-
sion of lands. You may
pathetically plead to the peoples ma
jority that the divided lands will not
give much more than the length and
breadth of his grave to each mob pro-
prietor. They will answer, We will
have what we can get, at all events
you shall keep it no longer" AS to
which the IIorlFs correspondent
says: Mr.. Ruskin may not be very
profound politician, but he has ex-
pressed in this passage the popular
spirit. 1t is useless to tell the people
that if the land were all to be divided
tomorrow, the process of absorption
into few hands would at once begin
all over again. Let it do so they re-
ply, only we should have our share
first. You have had % good long in
nings give US ours. That is
what tens of thousands understand by
the land question: What Ruskin
wrote on the subject was published
years ago; and now it is asserted that
at length the situation he anticipated
is actually realized. Mr.. Bright said
in recent speech that the proposition
of the land reformers was simply te
legislate so as to make land as free a
commodity as any other of the com
modities in which our people ma,
deal; a position which certainly i!
moderate and reasonable enough. Bu
the Worlds correspondent is unable
to see how that can be accomplished
without revolution, since the land
holders do not purpose to give up tn
old system. OF 72,250,O0O acres o
land in the United Kingdom, 3iS Eel
hold 1902, 466 acres or nearly one
fourth, and 1871 owners hold two
thir,s Of the whole.

An Important Decision Affecting Pre-
eMptians.

We find in the Oregoaiaa of Nov.
IL an important decision of Hon.
Judge Deady Of the L. S. Circuit
Court, district of Oregon, in relation
to rights of pre-emptors of the public
lands. 1t was rendered in suit of
James Aiken VS.. James l.. Ferry for
an injunction and a conveyance. The
decision fills over two columns of the
Oreq0nian. But we give the syllabus
Of the decision which is as follows:
|. Decision of the land Office. The
action of the land Office upon questions
of fact arising in the course of its busi-
ness is conclusive upon other tribunals
unless it appears that such action is
the result of fraud or mistake other
than an error of judgement in estimat-
ing the value of evidence or making
deductions therefrom, but for error i'll
the construction or application of the
law relating to such business its decis-
ions may be reviewed and modified or
annulIed by the courts.
2. Residence. The pre-emption act
requires a pre-emptor to inhdbh the
tract claimed by him, and this means
to abide thereto actually reside upon
the premises until the final proof and
payment is made.
g. Right to contest. No one can
he heard to question or contest the
right of another to a patent for public
land until he shows some right in him
self in or to the premises.
/ 4. Presumption righs. The right o.
prescription is not an interest in tho
land but the right to be preferred as {
purchaser Of a certain portion Of thu
public domain, and it accrues when tn,
settler has complied with the pre-
requisites of the act by making hi
settlement and filing his declarator,
statement.
| .. Pre-emptor, qualification OF |
a settler under the presumption act i
a qualified pre-emptor at the time o
filing his dec]aratory statement, he j
entitled as against the United State
to become the purchaser of the prem
Uses
6. Proprietor Of land. The tern
proprietor rs used in the inhibition
contained in s 10 of the pre-emptiol
act Is Stat. 455; s 2260 r S. mean
an absolute and. legal owner; an
therefore where one owns land in trus
for another, or has entered public Ian,
with cash or scrip, but has not receives
q patent therefor, he is not such
proprietor" thereof, and is thereto
not thereby disqualified to acquire tn
right of presumption.
Z. Patentee when a trustee. Upol
an erroneous construction of the la,
relating to the qualification Of a pre-
emptor the land office Cancelled the Ell
try Of A and issued patent to +,
junior settler, for portion of the trac
entered by A; Held that F was
trustee for A as to such portion, an
must convey the same to him on re
ceiving the purchase price thereof.
8. Statute of frauds. A parol cor
tract in relation to lands, if set out i
the bill is to have the same effect, a
against the plaintiff, as if it had bee
made in writing.

Prince NapoIeon's sobrlauet.

Now that Prince Napoleon has come
to the front as the representative of
French Imperialism the Germans are be
ginning to remember that on the moth
er's side he Is a German Prince of the
royal race of, Wurtem berg, and we owe
to German journal, cited In the Pail
Mall Gazette, the first rational explana-
uon yet given of his nickname of "Plon-
Plon." The general but obviously alb
surd story has been that the Prince OBJ
tained the nick name during the Crimean
war, when he attributed every sound to
the whizzing of bullet constantly re-
peating, "Du plomb! du plombp Accord
ing 70 correspondent of the Scl.,oeba asclie
Merker, however, the Prince was called
Plon Plon from his childhood. This cor
respondent says that some time ago he
was told by Herr Won Neurath, late
Minister Of Wurten berg, that Prince
Napoleon passed the earlier years of his
life At Stuttgart and was a great favoritt
with the late King William of Wu. tenn
berg, who used to amuse himself by as X

Curious Facts.

Serp-nts are said to obey the voice OF
their masters. The trumpet bird of
America follows It's owner like spaniel,
and the jacan acts as a guard to poultry,
protecting them in the field all day from
birds of prey and escorting them home at
night. In the Shetland Isles there is a
gull which defends the tlocks from eagles;
1t is therefore regarded as the privileged
bird. The chamois, boundinggover the
mountrn, are indebted for their safety
in no smell degree to species of pleas
ant. The bird acts as sentinel, for a.
soon as it gets sight of a man 1t whistles,
upon hearing which the chamols, know
ing the hunter to be near, sets off at full
speed. The articles which the part
ridges and plovers employ to delude
their enemies from the nest of their
young may be referred to case in point,
as we'll as the adroit contrivance of the
hind for the preservation of her young,
for when she hears the sound Of dogs she
puts herself in the way of the hunter
and starts IN a direction to draw them
away from the lawns. Instances of the
effect of grief upon animals are no less
remarkable. Lord Kaimes relates ar
incident of canary while singing to &
mate Matching eggs in a cage, fell dead
the mate left the nest and, finding hin
dead, rejected all food and died BY hi,

eral, for information regarding the man

Hester Clymer, or Of almost any prohi-
merit Democrat at Washington.
But "a Sherman's organ declares
Boynton to be thoroughly truthful ana
trusty, II ought to give further lniorma-
tion. which. as it does not, we Will.
During the war one HURT was Quarter
master at Cincinnati. He made I'm
meDse purchases on account OF troops.
His accounts were settled by the &C
counting kofficers Of the treasury ne
being allowed what these omcers DEEM
ed Just. After he had been paid TINS
amount he presented a claim to Con,
Rress Of about million more. A bill
was engineered through that body max
Ing an appropriation to pay this claim.
Boynton charged in the Cincinnati
Gazette that John Sherman had engi-
neered this appropriation through and
received large share of it; and called
attention to the fact that cheap boarding
houses and street cars soon after the
passage of the Huritt appropriation be-
cause to commonplace for the Senator
from Ohio, who set up his brownstone
front and carriage. The Sherman fami-
" were SO incensed by this publication
that they would not recognize Boynton
nor allow the Gazette in their houses.
But now John Sherman's organ vouches
for Boynton as "above reproach" and
thoroughly truthful.
This being so, it follows that Boynton
told the truth about the foundation of
John Sherman's fortune.-N. Y. Star.

The Deserted City.

Correspondence lnulanapohS Jourhai'
Scarcely any idea can be formed of the
dreadful prospect which lies before the
fifteen or twenty thousand people who
will be compelled to stay In Memphis
for lack Of means 10 get away. With the
exception of two colored military COM
papies who have volunteered their ser
vices as guard, and few of the police
who will stay on duty it il feared the
citizens will be without protection, and
there Is q large representation OF the
dangerous classes in the city that greatly
needs watching. There will be little or
NO work for any body, and people cannot
raise money by selling furniture or
clothes because there is none to buy.
Add to all this the scarcity of provisions,
ard the fact that every little town with
In twenty or thirty miles of Memphis
has Quarantined in the strictest possible
manner against Memphis, and you will
sec that the prospect Is indeed appalling.
Do not think there will be as much out
side help for yellow fever sufferers this
year as there was last summer; the pso-
pie OF Memphis do not xpect there Will
Be, and yet they can scarcely do much to
help themselves.
This quarantine against Memphis by
the surrounding towns, however neces-
sary 1t may be, Is in itself dreadful
hardship to a great many. Men are sta
toned on every road all around these
towns, with double barreled shot guus,
and ordered TO shoot any persons coming
from Memphis who attempt to pass
them. Families are often di vided in this
way, and parents and their children are
shut of from each other | had a mar

Mr.. Sherman, by way of helping his
boom, employed b statistician recently
to take new census Of the United States
and territories. This able person, whose
name IN Elliott, threw his eye over the
scene AMI figured up total population
of 40 1896 900. For oratorical purposes
Mr.. Elliott would grant license to say
80 100000. BY placing the figures At this
altitude Mr.. Sherman IL able to show
that the National debt, divided per capi.
