Lords Who Like Our Land.

The largest owner of land bought in
recent years in this country, is Sir Ed
ward James Reed. M. p. for Cardiff,
ten years 2,000 900 acres of well-select-
ed, cattle grazing land in Montana and
Dakota. His investment in this coun-
try directed many others TO our public
domain who had great confidence in
his sagacity. Next in consequences is
the purchase last year of 1900, 600
acres, consisting mostly of pine land
in the state of Mississippi, though in
cluded in this holding are 400, 900 acres
of the finest agricultural land on the
continent, lying on the Yazoo river bot
toms. This magnificent property be-
longs to the firm of Philips, Marshal &
Co., wealthy corn factors of Mark Lane,
London, who are also the largest deal
ers in American wheat and other grain
in England. Next in consequence
comes the Grant estate, which includes
an entire county in Kansas, and has
within its bounds $50, 900 acres. This
probably is the most desirable landed
estate held by q single owner in Ameri-
ca. as the land Is rich, well watered,
and settled mostly by emigration farm
ers from England and Scotland. Alex
ander Grant, the owner, has laid off all
his lands into farms, built about 400
good farm houses. each with the neces-
sary outbuildings, and is conducting tho
estate Just as though it was north Of
the Cneviots instead of in America.
The Duke Of Portland owns about
500, 900 acres, part of which Is on the
North Platte in Nebraska and part in
Colorado. Not much of it is yet in
cultivation. Lord Stafford owns 100,
600 acres on the line of the Northern
Pacific railroad, and he is gradually
colonizing it and getting it into field
cultivation. Lord Dunraven is the
pioneer of the English nobility in
American land-owning. He bought
the well-known property in Colorado
called by him Dunraven Park, in 1868,
and at government prices. Dunraven
Park contains about 100. coo acres. The
first purchase WAS $1,000, and SUISSE
quenily 10000 acres more was added.
1t is one of The best cattle ranches in
America, being lovely valley. full of
pure streams fed by the mountain
springs, rich in the best cattle growing
grass known, and the whole property
is fenced in by mountain ranges. 1t is
now easily worth $l,C00.0J0. but Lord
Dunraven refuses 10 sell it ut any price.
Lord Dunmore owns 10000 acres not
far f.om Dunraven, and very much the
same character of land, which is rapid
ly improving. The Duke of Boauforth
is one of The four owners of tract of
400, 900 acres recently bought by En-
gl.sn gentlemen in the Pan Handle of
Texas, and Sir John Rae-Reed is anoth-
or of them, the others OF interest being
two rich bankers sons. There are
many other Englishmen who have from
1000 TO 1000 acres in Colorado, Texas,
DAKOTA and New Mexico.

NOT SO.

A writer in the Inter Ocean puts
Michigan among the doubtful states
IN the campaign OF 1884. The In
ter Ocean is mistake n. Michigan is
not doubtful state. The ticket that
shall be nominated at Chicago, on
the sd of June will sweep the state by
large majority. Michigan was the
first state to unfurl the Republican
banner, and she will be the last state
to furl it. The issue this year is an
industrial one, and the people of
Michigan are largely interested, and
from her farms, her workshops, her
salt manufacturing districts, her pin.
cries, and her mines, there will go
forth such vote for protection to
American labor, as will forever set
tie the position of our citizens on this
question; and which, outside of
Wayne county, and probably there,
will bury every free trade candidate
for Congress so deep, that louder
blast than GabriePs trumpet will be
required to call them from their po-
itical graves. The man who writes
Michigan down as a doubtful state,
has not heard from her wool growers
her salt producers, her lumbermen,
and her miners, and when he does, il
he is sane, he will not write such
nonsense any more.

fact that there is less drunkenness in
Michigan to-day, in proportion to our

Union, Maine, New Hampshire and
Vermont excepted. Much of this we
know from personal observation and
