The brilliant audience who listened
to Mathew Arnold at Horticultural
Hall, says the Boston Gazette. were
agreeably disappointed by the excel.
lent manner in which he acquitted
himself on the platform after the
rather severe criticisms in the New
York papers Of his first appearance
there. The fact that he appeared to
better advantage here, socially and or,
atorically, is easily accounted for,
however. A young gentleman in this
city took the distinguished visitor in
hand Immediately on his arrival here,
and persuaded him to give a private
reading Of his lecture in the half where
he was to hold forth. The young
gentleman sat in the back part Of
the hall and interrupted the lecturer
as often as it became necessary "a
correct his faults. In this way Mr.
Arnold's eloeution was improved and
his voice brought to the proper
pitch"

GIGANTIC FRAUD IN ARKAS.
SAW.
The Donation Swindle- Hun
dreds Of Thousands Of Dol
lars Lost 20 the State.
Llttlo ROck Gazette, l7tb.


There seems 10 be no doubt that
gigantic frauds have been perpetrated
on the State 10 the matter OF donating
lands under the present law. The
statements Of Mr.. james A. Martin,
In yesterdays Gazette, giving the re-
suit Of his examination Of lands in
certain counties, has elected general
comment, and it is probable that the
publication Of this matter is the first
step towards bringing q large mum.
Der Of
SENSATIONAL DISCLOSURES
before the public, and a large number
OF offenders TO justice. In order to
obtain all the facts possible as far as
ascertained, a reporter OF this paper
called on Hon. W. 2. Campbell, State
Land Commissioner, yesterday morn
ing. and had very interesting con-
yersation with him about the matter.
INTENTION or THE LAW.
II have no doubt" said he, "that
the facts as mentioned BY Mr.. Martin
are substantially true. The law was
originally intended to facilitate loca.
tons and encourage immigration, but
under its operation Of late the State
has been swindled out Of hundreds Of
thousands OF dollars. In making
deed for donations Of land the Land
Commissioner is obliged to make it on
the certificate Of Magistrate that it
has been improved in accordance with
the law. venture to say that not
one. eth OF the donations on the books
are legitimate. There are over 40, 600
acres Of land in Crittenden, st. Fran
els and Mississippi counties that have
been
DONATED BY NON-REsIDENTs
Of the State, which is directly in vic
lation of the law; and in other couno
ties Of the State in the same proper
ton. The object is only to get the
timber Of the land. They merely de,
sire a color of title, so that they will
not be amenable to the criminal law,
and when they have got the timber
they don't care what becomes Of the
land.
us there no way by which you can
stop such frauds, Mr.. Campbell?"
LAND coMMIssIoNERPowERLEss.
THE Commissioner is powerless
Did you ever see one Of the certificates
that the Magistrate makes2 Well,

see the Magistrate sWears that five
acres ofsueh and such tract has been
cleared and improved; that he has
personally gone over the land and
everything is in accordance with the
laws, Upon the receipt of such a GER
tlhcate l am obliged to draw the
deed.
THE law ought to be reorganized
on this subject, The most gigantic
frauds are being perpetrsted in our
state all the time under its proYis>
ions"
"You can obtain the numbers Of

names Of the Magistrates who cert,

MUST BIB REMEDIED.
Yes, aud that is what shall do.
These frauds must be traced too the
bottom in some way. They cannot be
allowed to continue"
Enough facts have been obtained to
show that parties interested in util,
izing the wonderful timber resources
Of our State have adopted very
questionable means to further their
designs. Upon most of the lands thus
donated no taxes are paid, and are
being stripped Of our magnificent for

REFORM NEEDED.

At meeting Of the board of Super
visors held last Monday, the liquor
and saloon question was pretty thor
oughly discussed, and the Board de-
cided to turn over a new leaf in the
management Of that branch Of our
affairs. The Board viii in all probab-
ility strictly enforce the law relating
to the closing Of all saloons on Sun
day and after ten or eleven o'clock at
night; also the selling of liquor to
habitual drunkards and minors, and
prohibit minors, from playing bill
lizards and pool We trust the board
will not let this matter end in talk,
but carry out these greatly needed
reforms. 1t Is a shame and disgrace
to the town and to the officials of the
town, TO see the way in which a ma
iority Of our saloons are conducted
We 10 not propose at this time to
preach a sermon on prohibition, but
we do feel it a duty to speak a word
for the poor unfortunate man who has
lost all control over his appetite and
has become what IS termed an habitu
al drunkard, and also a word for the
bright intelligent boys Of our town who
are growing up to manhood in our
midst. If every saloon door is closed
against these boys they may grow up
the intelligent and honorable men
God intended them to be, but if they
are to be permitted to spend their
precious time playing billiards, pool
and cards and learning to drink beer
and whiskey, they can only be a dis
grace TO their parents and the com
munity III which they live, and be
come idle and vicious, and sooner or
latter bring up in our jails and asy-
lums and poor houses. In behalf Of
our boys and young men especially do
we urge upon the board the necessity
of radical reform in the matter of
regulating the sale Of liquor in Supe-
rior You have given US talk, gentle
men, now let US see your works.

Henry T. Wright, assistant post

He has confessed, and saws he spent

did he not think of these before tax

The Devils Lake country seems
to be well named. About twenty of
the devils in that country visited the
claim shantY Of Charles and Fred
erick Ward last Sunday night and
shot and killed both the men. Claim
jumping was the only excuse, and
the Wards was as much or more en-
titled to the land in dispute as any
body else. Judge Lynch ought to
move his court out to that region. 1t
was a brutal, cowardly, cold blooded
murder.
A cyclone got in its terrible work
down in Mississippi last Sunday even
ing. 1t was worst at the towns of
Beauregard and Wesson. The latter
place, 4 town Of some 600 inhabitants
was totally destroyed, not one house
being left standing. In these two
towns 10 persons were killed outright
and So wounded The storm was
very severe over a large extent of
country, but less fatal than at these
two towns. On Monday q storm Of
great violence visited South Carolina,
Georgia, Iowa, and Mississippi, doing
much damage to crops, stock and
buildings and several lives were lost.
The storm season seems to have COM

EreigEat Matters.

Mr.. Z. @. Thomas, of Eau Claire,
travelling freight agent for the Omaha
railway company, spent two or three
days in our town last week looking
up the freight business for his road.
The Omaha is destined to do big
freight business at this point, and is
receiving every encouragement from
cur business men. 50 long as the
boat men Of the the lake are united
with the business men Of Duluth in
fighting Superior and refusing to en-
ter our harbor our business men
should totally ignore them and give
their freight TO the railroads. Just so
long rs our merchants submit to the
indignity and costly imposition ofpay-
ing tribute to Duluth, just SO long will
the lake men avoid Us and continue to
lie about Superior and her harbor. All
things considered the railroad is just
rs cheap as the water, excepting per-
haps a few Of the heavier articles, and
unless the boats will deposit Superior
freight on Superior docks, they should
not be given a pound Of freight to
carry. \ little concert Of action on
the part Of our business men will
bring the boats here.
