While the National Republican Conyen-
ton was recording the alleged opposition
OF the Republican party 10 the acquisition
Of large tracts Of public lands by corpora
tioDs. aud plsdging the party to demand OF
Congress "a speedy forfeiture OF all land
grants which have lapsed by reason Of the
Noncompliance with the acts Of incorpo-
ration" &C., the Republicans in Con-
gress were filibustering TO prevent just
such legislation. Nevertheless the DEM
ocfats In the House have already passed
bills FORGETTING nearly seventy millions
acres granted 10 railroad companies In
various States and Territories. When
1t Is remembered that the above presents
fair samples Of Republican promises and
Democratic works, 1t would seem that the
latter afford much better guarantee OF
reform than do the former, not only In
this but IN all other matters. What is true
OF the Immigrant mesh in the Chicago
drag-neti is true Of the whole net.

The statement OF the journal des DsoatS
that the agitation in England over the
Egyptian question puts ct stake the mairs-
tcnance or rupture Of the relations be-
tween France and England is commanding
more than would similar statement from
any Of the other Paris papers. The Jour-
nal is one OF the firmest supporters Of the
FERRY Ministry, and one OF Its most active
editors is known to enjoy the full conf
dence of the President Of the Council. 1t
is also noted for its conservatism. Its de-
cIaration may, therefore. 1t is said, be taken
as indicating definite determination on
the part Of the French Government to take
a very bold stand for the recovery oil the
influence Of France in European matters.
