A dispatch from Washington ID. c.,
says: Notice has just been received at
the general land Office that the depart
ment of justice has adopted the recon-
mendatiOn of Commissioner Sparks,
transmitted some weeks ago, and has or
dered suits to be brought in United States
courts having jurisdiction to punish tres
passers upon the public domain, and to
cause the removal of fences and other OBJ
structions to free transit and occupation
by settlers. Gen. Sparks made recon-
mendations in this batch cove ring fifty
cases.
Among the parties TO be prosecuted I'M
der this action of Attorney General Gar
land are the Prairie cattle company, a
Scotch corporation, who have fenced in
vast territories, i'll a number of different
Enclosures, in Colorado and New Mexico;
the Arkansas Valley land and cattle
company, composed of English
men who have fenced up 60O,-
OOO acres in Colorado. The general man
ager of this latter great concern, named
Bloomfield, is the man recently convicted
at Denver for conspiracy, through fraud
ulent land entries, to rob the government.
There are also about twenty-five other
companies, foreign and domestic, which
are to be proceeded against the remain
der of the fifty being firms and ildivid-
uals,
The penalty for the violation of the
public domain is fixed by the Van Wyck
law of last February at $1,000 fine and
one years imprisonment Everybody
connected with these violations who can
be got hold of By the marshals is to be
put through for it. The special agents of
the general land Office have been busily
occupied since the presidents prociama-
ton of last August on this subject iii
gathering data upon which these prOsecu-
tions are to be based. Civil suits are also
to be instituted by the district attorneys
for damages to cover the expense of re-
moval of fences. The territory princi-
pally occupied by these cattle people is
embraced by Wyoming, Colorado, Mon
tana, Kansas, Nebraska and New Mexico
The land office is now beginning to
show practical results in other directions
in its work of purging the land service OF
corruption. A gentleman prominently
identified with this service here says that
for four years previous to the present ad
viction for fraudulent land entry. The
office has recently been informed of the
conviction of eight persons at Omaha on
this charge, and that fourteen others had
been indicted for perjury and conspiracy
in the same connection. AT Denver one
conviction has been secured, and nine
cases are pending. At Topeka one case
is pending. At Santa Fe eighty war
rants are out and many have been served
Six parties have been arrested in Chey
ennc, among them two or three prominent
citizens. At Yankton four indictments
have just been returned by the grand jury
| At Eureka, California. abont fifty fraud
ulent entries have been cancelled, and
many warrants sworn out. \ laundry
man, Marks, and farmer, Beach, are the
main operating land sharks in these cases
Gen. Sparks says his new agents are be
coming proficient aud are making good
record.

Suffice the eighteen eighty-hye is gone,

That all alike the heritage enjoy,
OF rich fruition with strange alloy.
And what's the heritage the Old Year leaves,

IL glory's such, that cen MncmOsyne
Could scarcely paint the brilliant legacy.
With much to mourn, we've more TO make lis

Our nations grandeur's painted on the clouds;
O'er our broad land ProsperO's wand Is waved
With magic TOUCH our energies are swaycd;
Quick IA the lightning flash beneath the main,
Our thoughts are whispered through tho electric
chain,
From sea to sea, the continent We span
With iron bands, that lirament the land
Ger which the iron horse with COuraers speed,
Exchanges state 10 state, what each may need.
And thus the Gordon of the Union round
From north o. south and east to west Is bound

Or rending twan has made them strong again.

Majestic steamers plough the mighty deep,
Tho teemng soil and trembling grain requite
The toiling millions reapng with delight.

Our commerce swiftly flies from sea to sea.

Woman Suffrage in Washington Territory
Chicago Tribune

The tayorite argument of the woman
suffragists is that women, if voters would
throw the Shole weight of their political
influence into the prohibition scale
Washington territory conferred the vot-
ing pewer on all women ON the same
terms as to age, etc, as men a few years
ago. The territory contains something
over 100000 inhabitants, and the female
voters exceed 10000. Well, Washington
territory has just passed through hot
and acrimonious election on the prohibit
ton of the trade in Intoxicating drink
by the vote of the several towns--by local
option, rs it is called in place of the
present license system. The result was
divided, the largest towns voting against
prohibition. Women are electors in that
territory, and they were divided about as
the men. Two women stumped against
prohibition; others for it. They voted
in general as their husbands and fathers.
Business considerations led merchants,
bankers, and other business men 20 vote
against prohibition, and influenced public
journals to oppose it.
The Walla Walla Daily journal, which
published abe public discussions of both
sides, was boycotted for II by the liquor
traders. The lower and lawless element,
male and female, voted against-the mid
die element, male and female, voted for
prohibition. It failed in that town. In
those portions of the state where a ma
jority of the men opposed prohibition it
failed because majority of the women
also voted against It; while in the villages
and rural districts, whore n majority of
the men were habitually teetotalers, pro
hibition carried women voting the
same way as the men.
The purifying influence of the women
proved to be a thing of the Imagination,
as they were influenced by the same mo-
tives as the men in casting their votes.
Women are not angels they are human
beings.

FASHION NOTES.

Cashmere overdresses will be worn with
plush, velvet and striped skirts
Coats or oyercoats for little girls show
the same short waists and full skirts that
are seen in their frocks.
Wooden dresses are almost de rigueur
for street wear for all except elderly la
dies, who may cling to their black or
gray silks.
Narrow gathered ruilles either bias or
straight are TO supersede the knife plated
Hounces which have been populer so long.
Plush of every description, hue and
design will be worn for carriage and
street toilets in Paris during the comming
Winter.
The long wing drapery is used IN the
back of many of the new dresses, with the
double apron upon the front of the skirt.
A mufiier OF marabout feathers in some
soft tint is the latest London wrap for the
shoulders, 1t is fitted TO the shoulders
somewhat after the pattern of fur
pelerine.
The novelties in gloves this Fall are
colors dear TO the heart of all women,
namely, all delicate tints of dove grey,
pearl and mauve These many importers
offer in preference to the long-fayored
tan and beige shhles. OF the novel colors
for shopping and street wear generally
are handsome shades in golden brown,
chestnut, mahogany and CUR color.
The fancy for buttons fashioned in
odd devices is again revived and these
vary from the simple metallic buttons to
styles almost rs expensive as jewels. Be
tween these is an unlimited range in
mother-o' pearl, hammered French gold,
chased silver, copper, bronze and solid
gold devices set with half-precious gems
and also showing heads of persons of an
tiquity in cameo, onyx and vari-colored
/ enamels
