HoT SPRINGS, ARK, appears to have
a two fold mission, the first being, to
use scriptural phrase, the healing of
the nations, while the second appears
to be about an equal mixture Of legal
and illegal deviltry. IF Blackstone him
self arose from the dead and attempted
to settle the question of land titles in
that distracted village, he would gladly
again retire to the seclusion Of the
grave after preliminary hearing Of
the points involved. AS matters now
stand, there are two claimants for al
most every available foot Of earth in
that narrow canyon, while the general
government looms up in the rear as the
probable rightful owner of the whole
tract. The Supreme Court of the Uni
ted States seems as badly mixed up on
this subject as anyone else, and has
within the last ten days practically re-
versed its decision of four years since,
and left the purchasers and improvers
of property under the congressional
commission, all at sea as to their right
and title to what they have paid for.
As for the illegal deviltry, the record
of crime, particularly that of murder,
is the most shocking for the past twelve
months Of any in history. Altogether
it needs some powerful sanitary reason
to induce any outsider cognizant of the
situation to visit Hot Springs, and it is
perhaps the strongest testimony to the
marvellous efficacy of its waters that the
influx of visitors is unceasing.
