why he called them to duty at the Jail on

THE PUBLIC LANDS.

In the National Republican platform are
these declarations; "The public lands are
| the heritage of the people of the United
| States and should be reserved as far as pos
sible for small holdings by actual settlers.
We are opposed to the acquisition of large
tracts of these lands by corporations or in
dividuals, especially where such holdings are
in the hands of nonresident aliens, and we
| will endeavor to obtain such legislation as
will tend to correct this evil" 1t is high
time that the policy thus indicated should be
| adopted by the Government. Comparative.
| y few people are aware of the vast tracts
now held by aliens, Individually or as cor
porations. A table compiled By the New
York Star gives some interesting Stats
tics on the subject The list of
foreign land holders is headed by the
| Holland Land company, which owns four
and one-half million acres Of land-a tract
much larger than the State of Vermont-in
New Mexico. An English syndicate owns
three million acres in Texas. S; Edward
Reid owns two million in Florida. An
English syndicate owns a tract nearly as
large in Mississippi. Then a London firm
owns 100000 acres; the Marquis Of
Twcedale, 100000; a German syndicate
more than million the London "Anglo-
| American" syndicate $50, 900 Mr.. Evans
of London zoo, 900; the Duke of Suthcr and
425, 900 and many other individuals and
\ al, Il
| Thousand to SIX hundred thousand acres.
The aggregate owned by twenty five of these
| aliens is more than twenty million acres
| 90, CAT, 900 an imperial domain more than
five times as large as the State of Vermont.
The list is by no means complete, and fur
| ther acquisitions are constantly being made
by foreigners.
! Now all this is directly opposed to the
fundamental principles OF our Government.
The land belong to the people, and their prin-
ciple is small holdings by actual settlers. AS
the Worcester SPY well says; "Great land
owners, whether they cultivate their own
lands by machinery and hired labor, or lease
them 10 tenants, are much less desirable. If
they hold their lands vacant for speculation
or other purposes, they may do positive mis-
chief by retarding the occupation of the re
gion, keeping it wilderness instead of al
lowing the tide of immigration to flow in and
cover it thickly with homes and farms" The
evils that may arise from large holdings are
greatly augmented when the holders are
aliens, for these have no interest in the pros.
perity of the country and no sympathy with
our people and our institutions. 1t Is well
that the Republican party has taken decid-
ed stand in this matter and it is earnestly to
be hoped that legislation may soon be had to
remedy the abuse complained of.

cheer of personal friendship to the pledge
political fealty. A more formal acceptance
will naturally be expected, and will in due
season be communicated. 1t may, however,
not be inappropriate at this time to say that
l have already made careful study of the
principles announced by the National con
vention and that in whole and in detail
they have my heartiest sympathy, and
meet my unqualified approval. Apart
from your official Grand gentlemen,
l am extremely happy to welcome
you all to my house. With many of you |
have already shared the duties of public
| service and have enjoyed most cordial friend
| ships. | trust your journey from all parts
of the great Republic has been agreeable,
and that during your stay in Maine you will
feel that you are not among strangers,
but with friends. Invoking tie blessings of
God upon the great cause which we Jointly
represent, let us turn to the future without
fear and with manly hearts"
| AT the conclusion of Mr.. Blaine's reply the
members of the committee were introduced
to him individually, and an hour was spent
in social and informal converse. The mem.
bers OF the committee then repaired to the
residence of Col. III. S. Osgood, where
they were entertained at lunch, aud at I
O'Clock they left for Portland where they
had reception in the evening.

contend with conservatism and usage very
ken without desperate struggle. 1t is
impossible 10 resist the aversion with which
the cultivated mind views such uncouth
forms of dialect as the spelling reformers
graphic mosaics. The resolve to have moth
ing to do with such dissertation of all the
models of English literature and writing
springs naturally in the mind. There
we must admit, among the ranks of the
spelling reformcrs but the great mass of ed
ucatcd men and women in this country stand
out against the movement. The time may
come when simpler form of spelling may
be required by the people when along with
the general demand for labor saving contriv-
anccs, something shall be required of our
dictlonary-makcls in reducing the labor OF
acquiring the English language and the ec.
mcnts of common school education. But
that time is not yet, and, Furthermore, il
seems TO be as far off as il ever was. Spell
Ing reform has been pushed for long time
but it does not make much Roadway. W.
