For very many years the government lands in
the south commanded no market, except where
they were needed for corporations Prior to the
rebellion slavery kept immigration from that sec
tion ana the unsettled condition OF public affairs
after the close of the rebellion prevented settlers
from going there. During the past four years,
however, the inviting climate and productive soil
OF the south have attracted large share Of imnli-
grafton, and government lands which were once
considered valueleSs, because nobody wanted
them, have been selling rapidly. The record Of
public land sales shows that for the fiscal year
1879 there were sold In the states OF Arkansas
Alabama, Louisiana, Mississippi and Florida,
(tle only southern states In which the govern
ment still owns iands), 4S1,l4 acres. Sc OF the
entire sales for the year; In $780, the sales in
creased to S96,s15 acres, 1913 per cent: In 1884,
TO 1871 acres, or AL per cent and In 1882 to
1855 64, or Is per cent OF the entire sales Much
OF the public land in the states named is avail
able for agricultural purposes and the statistics
OF population Of the south show that it has been
this character OF land that commanded readiest
sale.

Another one Of the parties accused OF completely
IN the massacre OF the Joyce family in Ireland,
las been found guilty and sentenced to DEATH
The courts OF Ireland are busy now with the trials
Of persons charged with guilty participation in
some OF the numerous political murders that have
occurred In that country, and conviction Is
usually the result OF trial. The crimes with
which most OF these prisoners are charged were
eowardly, as well as brutal, and the perpetrators
deserve the severeSt penalty Of the law. But I'M
fortunately, the convictions now taking place In
Ireland are based entirely upon the evidence OF
"approvers'-persOns who shared in the crime
and have turned states evidence. This class OF
testimony Is generally dscredited in this country
unless supported by collateral evidence OF some
Kind. man who Will betray his associates for
the sake OF gain will not hesitate to commit per-
jury to secure his own ends. The Irish courts
seem to place more confidence In this class of evil
dence than is done In this country.

The republicans Will, no doubt, make an effort
at the approaching session of Congress to reduce
taxation, but they can scarcely expect to do more
than put themselves on record as fayoring the
policy Of reduction. If there was nothing to do
but prepare the legislation and put it right through
Congress, then the task OF reducing taxation
would be an easy one; but In the hrst place the
republicans must count upon the opposition OF the
democrats. Having obtained control OF the next
House the democrats viii endeavOr to prevent any
reduction OF taxation by the present Congress that
the credit OF such legislation may be reserved for
their own party. The coming session will be too
short for the republicans to make much OF q strug
gle over the question The appropriation bills
and other necessary legislation will claim atten-
ton, and the session is limited to less than
three months the democrats will be able to pre-
vent revenue reduction without openly opposing
It. In fact, the democratic leaders make no secret
OF their purpose TO delay revenue and tariff legS-
ation until they can control the subject

electricity that the business OF telegraphing had

such force and magnitude has not occurred within
the memory OF the Oldest inhabitant Not only

in THE STAR about a year ago, argued stOutly in
