The .'Land Frauds'' Again.

On our first page we publish letter
from Rob't l.. Lindsay III reference to
the above. AS to his guilt or inno-
cence under the charge now before
the State courts, that is matter to be
judieioally determined. Tt would be
impertinent and improper to debate it
while pending, and it is at least to his
credit that he does not touch upon the
merits of the case. But the original
charges and claims made by the U. s.
officials, and scattered broadcast over
the land are fit subjects for comment.
The effect of the manifestoes put forth
through loud mouthed press which
is sometimes quicker to do injury than
make suitable amend, has been to de-
ter the people of other States from in
vesting in real estate in Southeast
Missouri, and it will take months to
eradicate the effects Of the scare. The
fact is, the title has not been, and cam
not be, affected by these q. S. officials.
If there have been fraudulent transfers,
they must be determined by the State
courts in suit brought by the parties
defrauded; and the only thing neces-
sary to make any one secure in pur-
chasing is to have proper investiga-
ton Of the chain of title to the land in
question. This can be had at all times
through any respectable attorney, and
the most implicit reliance may be plac-
Cd upon the Information 50 obtained.
But people away from here do not
stop to think Of these things, or II they
do, the assertion originally made that
the Government would reclaim five
or six millions Of acresn of the lands in
question, gave them q scare that will
require months Of soothing assurances
to overcome. rFis tSne, the u. s. Off
cials have acknowledges thai an their
assertions about reclainlfng those lands
were without warrant of law or equity,
and the thing cannot be done, and
have let down completely on that
phase Of the questions but, while the

A bombshell fell into the Republic
can camp last Monday, when the res
jgnations of Senators Conkling and
Platt, Of New York, were read by the
Senate Clerk. It was surprise to
all parties. AS to their motives in re-
signing there appears to be but one
opinion, viz: That, recognizing they
were beaten i'll the Senate, they have
taken the bold step of securing a vote
Of confidence from the New York
Legislature. The drift of sentiment
in both official and political circles is
that they have done an unwise, ill
conceived, short-sighted thing, and
yet some of the coolest and longest
headed politicians here shake their
heads at the above conclusion and say:
await and see; 1t is too early to judge
what the effect will be-"

The confirmation of Stanley Mat
thews for Judge of the U. S. Supreme
Court, last week, is not a feather in
the cap of the Democracy. No man
who voted for him ought to be re-
turned to the Senate. Mr.. Matthews
has been a railroad lawyer for years,
is the especial pet of Jay Gould, and
as q member of the Supreme Court
will be his willing tool. The time is
close at hand when the fight will be
for life between the people and the mo-
nopclists; and the REGISTER though,
perhaps an insignificant member OF
the former party. will give forth no
uncertain sound. While we recognize
the necessity for protection to capital
rightly employed, We do not believe
in its use as a means for the enslave-
ment and degradation of the masses.

SCIENCE AND INDUSTRY.

The amount of capital invested in
the iewelry trade of the United States,
exclusive of silver-ware, is estimated at
upward of $50,000,0O0.
"A brilliant black is produced on
iron and steel by applying, with fine
hair brush, mixture of turpentine ana
sulphur boiled together. When the
turpentinc evaporates there remains on
the metal thin layer of sulphur, which
unites closely with the iron when heated
for time over a spirit or gas hame.
This varnish protects the metal perfect
ly and is quite durable.
DR.. Ochlschlager, of Danzig, has
found salicylate of sodium to be OF great
value in the treatment of nervous head

When, however, the patient is anemic
the drug frequently fails to produce q
salutary result.
1t is said that dense black gum may
be obtained from the outer layers OF the
birch tree by distillation, which possesses
all the ordinary properties OF gutta
percha, and has the additional merit OF
resisting the deteriorating influence OF
air and the corrosive action OF acids.
This advantage makes it useful as an IN
gredient of India rubber and gutta
percha, which it renders far more dura-
Bile. Whether these statements are true
remains to be proved.
The obscure poison which produces
hydrophobia has been known to lie Ia
tent In the human system for years be-
fore developing its fatal results. M.
Pasteur declares the supposition to be
well supported that the virus does de-
velop in certain organs, and not, as in
other similar maladies, in the blood, and
that when, after period variable &C:
cording to circumstances, the organized
poison passes into the blood, severe
symptoms come on rapidly and the VIC
tim soon dies. An explanation substan-
tally the same as this had long been
advanced as a mere theory, but now M.
Pasteur advances it as AN ascertained
physiological fact.
AT the late meeting of the Iron and
Steel Institute, England, DIR. Siemens
showed how steel could be economically
|; melted by the electric arc. An ordinary
plumbago crucible is placed in metal
. lie Jacket, or case, and the intervening
space is filed up with charcoal or some
, other bad conductor of heat. Through
/ the bottom of the crucible a rod of pla-
Q tinum or dense carbon passes. A hole
: in the cover of the crucible admits the
: negative electrode, which is suspended
r at one end of beam by means of q strip
r of copper. The other end of the bean
= is attached to hollow cylinder of soft
!, iron, free to move up and down in a col
!. of wire, one end of which is connected
e with the positive and the other with the
negative pole of the arc. Five pounds
of steel were melted in twenty-five min
b. utes.

LATE NEWS ITEMS.

In the Guiteau case, on the Sd, Sena-
tor David Davis is reported to have answer
ed questions put by Mr.. Scoyile Substantially
as follows: He was not connected with
either Of the political parties Of the country;
had no personal knowledge Of u breach In
the Republican party growing out of the
difficulties between Garfield and Conkling,
but knew there were factions; the only way
In which the Republican party could BIO de-
stroyed was by the disruption OF the Demo-
Gratis; did not think the success of any po-
liical party would imperil the Republic;
did not think Democratic success would
bring war, the Southern people were the
last in the world to desire further trouble,
should there be any war it would come from
somewhere else. Mr.. Davis protested that
he could not understand such line OF de-
Tense. When excused from further exam
nation he took seat upon the Bench with
Judge Cox, studied Guiteau's face for some
time and then left court. Bailey, the Dis
trict Attorneys stenographer, was then put
upon the stand, and the prisoner eXcitedly
charged him with trickery in obtaining an
interview as n New York Herald reporter
and supplying the District Attorney with
his notes. 1t transpired that Bailey received
$500 from the newspaper, but he denied
having represented himself as reporter.
Mr.. Scovile wanted the notes, but they had
been destroyed.

A Lawyers Fee.


One of the most learned and digniiied
members of the Austin bar got terrible
rebuff from old Uncle Nose last week.
The old man had Jim Webster hauled
up before Justice Gregg for stealing his
Spanish chickens. AS Jim Webster has
political influence, he was defended by
two prominent lawyers. Uncle Nose was
put on the stand, and made out bad
case against jim Webster, testifying to
having found some of the chickens In
Jim's possession, and identifying them
by the peculiarities of the breed.
The prominentlawyer then undertook
TO make Uncle Nose weakenoon the
cross-examination.
Snow, Uncle Nose, said the lawyer,
"suppose was to tell you that l have
at home in my yard half dozen chick
ems of that identical same breeds"
"What would | say, bossP"

tell you I've got that same kind OF chick
