NAMES CONFIDENCE GAME.

IL is very safe to say that no ma
tional encampment of the Grand
Army of the Republic will ever again
be held in the state of Maine. and 1t Is
certainly matter Of great regret that
so unfortunate a location for the camp
was made this year. II is difficult to
discover, in fact, why the people OF
Maine ever invited the Grand Army
veterans TO intrude upon her sancti-
moniOus IL not sanctified soil. People
do not often invite common thugs
and plug-uglys to partake Of their
hospitality and 1t occurs only in very
peculiar communities that policemen
are called in TO watch invited guests
st social entertainments. But IL APP
pears that the state of Maine is revers-
ing precedent and custom, and that
after having urged the Grand Army
to make the headquarters of its
annual encampment within her
borders, promptly appointed special
and enormous police force to take care
that the ruffianly veterans were prop
erly controlled during their stay and
duly searched before permitted to
leave the state. The Chicago Herald
commenting upon this remarkable
feature Of the reunion during its pro-
gress said: "The espionage thus es-
tablished promises to BE- very distaste-
full and annoying. Though it is not
TO be supposed that American soldiers
are sots or drunkards, it is humiliating
TO reflect that in one state they are
treated rs though they were. Almost
anywhere else in the Union the veter-
ans would have been left free to enjoy
themselves in any rational manner
that was agreeable to them, and the
sight of n few thousand of them
drinking few bumpers in memory of
the old days would not have been par
ticularly narrowing" Similar COM
ment Is almost universal, and the
Grand Army boys are said to feel that
they have been made the victims of a
confidence game of the most exasper-
ating features and Of the largest pro-
portions. Color is given to this report
by the fact that next years reunion is
10 be held as far from the scene Of the
present disappointment as possible.
From Maine TO California is a pretty
wide jump, but in view Of the circum-
stances it is only surprising that the
location for next years camp did not
fall somewhere in Egypt.

NOT A FORGERY,
But Simply an Inquiry for Missing
Partner.

1t was reported to the police authorities
yesterday that an Illinois man had secured
$500 from the firm Of Graybill, Middlesworth
& Co., OF The Union Stockyards, by means of
q bogus check, to which he had attached the
signatures OF two stock dealers OF Effingham
Ill, with whom the above firm mas had deal
ings. The individual who reported the
alleged forgery did not go into details, and,
therefore, the authorities could give very
little Information to the newspapers relative
thereto.
A representative of the Sentinel called at
the Sherman House, where Mr.. Graybill, the
senicr.smember of the firm. boards only TO
find that he had gone to Bingham. The
reporter then visited Mr.. A. 8. Benson, S73
North Delaware street, who ia connected
with the firm, who denied that any forgery
had been committed. He said that on
Wednesday last Mr. Green of the firm of
Green x CLARK, Effingham, Ill, arrived in
the city with car load of stock, which he
turned over to them to dispose OF, aud
which they sold to an Eastern firm, receiv.
ing about 500 therefor. Mr.. Green was
given the proceeds OF the sale, and left at
once, returning, they supposed, to Effing-
ham, but 1t seems that such was not the
case. for day or two later q telegram was
received from Mr.. Clark. inquiring about
his partner Green Is said to be drinking
man, and his friends are greatly alarmed
over his absence.

cattle and set at defiance the rights of honest
but humble settlers
1.-THE policy Of the government heretofore to-
ward aliens has been characterized by great lib
crafty and the different States, each acting for
itself, have gone still further, upon the idea of
the desirability of rapid increase Of population
and wealth, and by legislation have conferred
upon aliens rights far beyond those they en-
joyed by treaty stipulations, common law or the
law of nations. The bill herewith re-
ported proposes as part Of the foreign policy of
this country, to operate only prospectively, and
therefore not harshly, to prevent absolutely,
citizens or subjects of other nations, SO long as
they adhere 10 and retain their allegiance to other
powers, from acquiring ownership in American
soil within the jurisdiction of the United States.
We maintain that American soil should be
owned exclusively by American citizens. Per
haps objection may be made to the bill on the
ground that its tendency will be to drive foreign
capital from this country. If it were, we are
not quite sure that any permanent harm
would result therefrom to any one on
this continent. The mortgages and land bonds
held by aliens would not be materially
impaired by the law proposed They are deeds
OF trust, and can be foreclosed and the lands
sold, in default of payment, by the alien holder,
as well as by citizen Neither can. according
to law, buy his own sale, because of the conflict
of interest with duty. unless it is so stipulated
IN the contract and this being known, can have
no other effect upon the future of foreign in
vestofs in this class of securities than to make
them little more careful and not to rely upon
the prospect of ultimate ownership of the mort
gagged lands"

WASHINGTON, Jan. 21.-''The death Of Myra
Clark Gaines leaves some of her heirs with that
piece of property" said one of the clerks of the
United States Supreme Court pointing to an
enormous book which lay the floor. THAT
is the transcript in the case of the City Of New
Orleans, appellant VS. Myra Clark Gaines, ap-
pellee.' The book contains ten thousand pages
of manuscript, each page considerably larger
than sheet of legalcap, and the whole mass is
so bulky that noone man can handle it."
'What does it weighp
Something over two hundred pounds. You
sec it stands more than two feet from the floor,
and as the sheets are connected only by the
binding in the back, it is almost an impossibility
to get "a hold on it."
Have there been many trials2"
"When 1t was first brought here there were
several. Some of the lawyers have standing
offer of S. and bottle of wine to the man that
will shoulder the book without tying it together.
Our colored messenger made the attempt and
had half succeeded when the slipping paper slid
away and he sprawled on the floor. No one has
yet claimed the prize"
