In an old scrap-book we find the fol-
lowing article on the subject of land
owners in England:
More than half the soil of the United
Kingdom is nominally owned by 1000
persons. According to valuable
analysis OF the very i'll arranged and il
complete Pa liamcntary return of the
landowners OF the nitcd Kingdom.
published in the finan .ial Reform AL
manac Tor 1877, Al persons are the
owners Of 22,ssO.775 acres, or nearly
5,UOU,OOO acres more tAla one-f fourth
Of the total area Of the United King
dom. The mind is unable to grasp
what such . monopoly costs the coun.
try, but certain features of it stand
forth with prominence sufficiently
notable. In most absolute sense, the
Eell-beiAg Of some 32,O0O,0JO souls il
placed the keeping of few thous.

device against revolution, paid by the
middle class-and the pauper's grave.
Our land owners have not merely bur-
dened the land with their game pre-.
serves; they lave tied it up and actively
conspir.l to prevent its due cultiva-
ton. Instead OF rising to the true
necessity of the case, they cling to
their game, make penal enactlnents
about it, and struggle to augment tho
intensity OF the evil which It is to the
people, as if the very existence of tho
country depended upon hares and rab.
bits. II his absolute supremacy the

annual report to the Secretary of the Interior
states the population Of the Territory to he
100000, against 1875, $50 when the federal
census was taken in 1880. The crops during
the year have been excellent and good prices
have been obtained for products. The farmers
were never so prosperous as at present, Sur
views for number Of new railroads have been
made during the year Wooden mills Touring
mills, qusrries, hrewerles machine shops and
other manufacturing establishments have been
developed within the past few years. The
Governor argues in favor Of the admission Of
Dakota to the Union and urges the necessity
of protecting the school lands the Territory
from squarters. He suggests that the Indian
reservations be cut up and the land given to
the Indians in severaly. The territorial tax
levy for all purposes including interest on the
public debt, was three mills the present year.
The financial condition Of the territory is
good. Emigration has been very large during
the year, The death rate was but $40 to the
