COsT OF the PUBLIC LANDS.


Il is mistake to suppose that the
public lands cost the Government noth-
ing but the expense of surveying. The
immense domain so lavishly granted to
railroad corporations has actually been
procured at large expenditure Of money.
Our several foreign purchases, the run
ming expenses of all our Land Offices,
and the incidental charges of admins.
tration, constitute but a small fraction
OF the real cost. The expenditure on
account OF Indians is the substantial
portion. If we wish to discover what
we are actually granting to great cor
porations. or selling at nominal rate to
foreign lords by millions of acres, We
should reckon up the whole cost of our
Indian administration.

office, prepared by Thomas Donaldson.
OF the Committee on Codi6cation of the
Public Land Commission, entitled,
1.-The Public Domain; Its History,
with Statistics. presents a table of
these Indian expenditures. From July
4, 1916. to June 30, $780, they aggre-
gate SlS7, 1928, 903.9l. The expendi-
lures for survey and disposition from
March |, 1854. to June 30. 1880. in
cluding salaries OF clerks and expenses
of surveyors-general, have been $24,-
465. .69l; aud it is estimated that from
January /, 1875, to June 80, 1880, the
cost of executive departments and ad.
ministration, chargeable to public lands
was 81, O9i, Gl l.07. The amount which
has been actually paid under treaty
stipulations on account of purchases
from France, Spain, Russia, Mexico,
Georgia, Texas, is $SS, l57, 3S9. 9S. This,
we suppose, is Inclusive of claims adju-
dicated and paid up to June 80, 1850,
but IL is exclusive OF expenses of com.
missioners to make treaties, and Of sal.
aries and expenses of commissioners to
fix boundaries, etc, under the several
treaties We have in these several
items already a grand total expended
of 1922. .049, ,595 96. and as our total
cash receipts, including fees and
commissions from 1885 to June 80, 1880,
have been only S20S, Oj9, 657 IA, OF

States, under the two, three and five

tribution acts of September 4, lS4l,

ceceipts ouly $500, ZOE, $40 IL, it follows
that we are out Of pocket Sl2, 346, 746-
.85. Ii we mean to recompense our.
selves. we must have our land legisla-
tion thoroughly revised as soon as pos
sible, for already the most valuable
parts of our domain are so dissipated
that out Of total of $50, l7l,7S7 acres
ceded TO us by several OF the original
States, and / $50, SO9, 900 acre bought
OF Texas and foreign nations, it is esti-
mated that we will have left, after sub. |
tracing the quantity required to satisfy |
the claims OF corporations and States
which is about 1870, 600, 900 acres-no |
more than 10000, 600 acres available

PLOY-PLON, son AND EMPRESS.

Prince Plon- Plon's quarrel with his son again
makes him the laughing stock of mercurlal
Paris. As the heir to political and dy-
nastic inheritance which has been irretrev-
ably lost he is mt all times a grOteSque figure,
and his fatuous propensity for what is mala-
droit in speech and indiscreet in action tends to
render his unfortunate plight ridiculous. Since
the death of the Prince Imperial he has been at
once the butt and the despair Of the tatterde-
malion Bonapartc cause. lie could scarcely
wait TO put Grape on his arm before exposing
himself to ribald jcsts. One of his earliest acts
after receiving the fatal news of the Princes
tragic death in the Zulu bush was to send a
secret emssary to NJ Gambetta, who was then
at the zenith of political fame, with instructions
to deliver this message =" Now is your time to
cast in your lot with me-" The great tribune at
first suspected that the messenger was de-
mentcd, and then repeated the invitation to his
friends as one of Prince jerome NapOeon's
clumsy jests But Paris in laughing over it
knew that Prince Plon-Plon was never more
serious in his life than when lie sent that pre-
posterous summons to Nj. Gambctta. The
manifesto which was placarded in the bOule
wards a wear ago was not more absurd than
Louis NapoleOn's circulars and addresses at
Strasburg and BOulOgnc, yet the author was
derided in Paris, and the Ministry were ridi-
culed for clapping him into the Conciergerie.
The feud which has broken out in his own
household will be received with sneers and
smiles by the quick witted French public,
which has come to regard the fortunes OF the
Napoleonic pretender only as a study for bur
lcsque.
This family ieud has resulted in rupture

NOTE IND BE4M,

When anything occurs in this country show
ing the existence of loose commercial morals,
DIR cousins across the ocean are careful TO I'M
prove the occasion, and to lament over the de-
plorable condition of American society That
bank presidents should speculate on their prl-
vate account with the funds of the institution
over which they have CHARGE that adven-
turers should swindle investors out of millions
under the false prctext of employing the money
in Government contracts, is no doubt much to
be condemned and regretted, and it may conf
IDENTITY be asserted that such laches are ccnsured
as sternly by tho press of the United States, and
by American public opinion, as they can posi-
bly be by foreigners. But while the IT, qaOQue
rctort is futile as a defence, us an incentive to
greater charity and humility of spirit it has its
uses. and therefore our British neighbors may
be reminded that judges should have clean
hands. When, in the confusion and turmoil of
the outbreak of our civil war, the supply of the
Federal armies became the subject of gross
frauds, and INSCRIPTIONS contractors enriched
themselves in the basest way at the expense OF
the patriots in the field, the British press, con-
vcnicntly forgetting the cOmmissarlat scandals
of the Crimcan war, discussed our troubles as If
convinced that original sin and total depravlty
were invented by the Yankees and had re-
ceiycd a dollhouse cultivation among them while
all the rest of the world was enjoying millcn-
NAL immunity from wrOng-dOing.
But it seems that the advance of that COM
mercia morality whose absence our nclghb0rs
dcplorc SO greatly in us, has not somehow pro-
ccedcd so rapidly as was to have been expected
with them. For it has been discovered that the
worst Yankee army contract frauds have just
been emulatcd with ignobe fidelity by British
contractors for the Egyptian expedition, and we
read with pcrpcxity and sorrow OF mouldy hay,
of noper hoot-sOles, of UNBEATABLE provisions, of
sbnddy clothing-in short, of all, and more than
all the dishonest tricks which were exposed
here in 1861 and there in 1884. But whereas
our army contract frauds were committed dur
inc period of uneXampled confusion, the re-
cent English ones have been perpetrated in the
midst of national peace and order, and it might
therefore be argued that they indicated the
presence of a more deep seated corruption. 1t
i not worth while to press that inference, how
ever. nor is this reference to the facts made for
any other purpose than to give emphasis to the
suggestion that the two great Anglo Saxon
communities are equally in need OF strlcter
application to their secular affairs of those
ethical principles which they have accepted in
accepting Christianity.
