The figures disclose that only the Dun
dee companies have had entirely satisfac-
tory returns from their investments. The
average dividend of the Dundee trust and
mortgage companies has been g. per cent,
and that of the cattle and land companies
4 per cent, but of the whole forty-two
trust, investment and mortgage companies
in the United Kingdom, two paid 124 per
cent; two paid 10 per cent; three be-
tween and per cent; three between 5
and :! per cent; FIVE at the rate of 5 per
cent; two less than three per cent, and
twenty-five paid no dividend.
OF the twenfy-three cattle and land COM
panies, two paid 10 per cent; one, q per
cent; three, per cent; two, per cent;
two less than per cent, and thirteen paid
no dividend
Of the mining companies-sixteen in
number-one paid Is per cent; one, Is.
per share; one, IS. per share, and one Is
per share, and twelve paid no dividend.
Earlier in this summary we gave the
acreage owned and leased by foreign Eng
fish companies, but the figures were exclu-
siye of the lands held by the mining COM
panies, the figures concerning which are
not accessible In addition are the lands
held in fee simple and under lease by sew
eral of the land and investment companies.
The grand total is arrived at of acres held
by all companies, except the mining cor
porations, as follows:

Grand total of Id COS
1t has been noted that only to the Dun
dee companies have compensating returns
been made But it must be borne in mind
that all the companies are new, scarcely
one is yet ten years of age, and the major
ity have not had time as yet to develop
their capacities. 1t is said, however, that
the disposition to invest in such COM
panies and to form new ones has abated,
because the year 1885 was an unfayorable
one to cattle and land companies, and be-
cause the order of the Federal Govern
ment concerning the fencing in of unoccu-
pied lands. and finally because the business
Is developing uncertainties and obstacles
not foreseen. The conclusion is therefore
reached by the Consul that it is unlikely
that in the near future, at least, there will
be any such development in the direction
Of these enterprises as has been seen within
the past five or six years.

The first cattle and land company was
organized in 1880, and its success was so
great as to lead rapidly to the establish
ment Of similar corporations, and of these
Edinburgh has six The footings of the
statistics of eleven OF the chief cattle COM
panies show that they control 672, 013 head
Of cattle, and that the calf crop in 1884
was l26, 800, and in 1885 1853. They
sold SO, 1855 head of stock, at an average of
SIS II for one-year-olds, 1913 06 for two
year-olds, and $50 10 for three-year-olds
and upwards in 1884 The average valua-
ton of the herds was S23 90. These eleven
cattle companies lease l,455,796 acres of
land at 81 % per acre on the average, the
highest rental paid being s. and the low
est s. 80 per acre. They own the fee in
2.0l6,ssS acres of land, that cost them on
the average 81 ~ per acre, the highest
sum paid being $40 40 and the lowest
81 "a The dividends declared va
ried for the last three years
from the minimum of per cent. to the
maximum of POI. Two companies paid
in 1855, two Others in 1884, and four in
1885 paid no dividends.
There are, so far as can be ascertained
with precision, eighty-one land, mortgage,
cattle and mining companies in the United
Kingdom doing business in the United
States. OF these, three are closing up
their business, only one of the three pay
ing dividend each year for three wears.
The aggregate authorized capital of all
the trust, investment and mortgage COM
panies is e2l DDS, 456, of which G.. 3S5 $40
is paid. They represent G., 237 ,5l4 of de-
bentures. and have eS5o,5l5 in reserve

mining companies only four have paid
dividends, and only two for three successive

in mining companies are decreasing. and
that the loose capital floats preferably to

Itis a matter of much moment frequently
for farmers, merchants and brokers', having
grain or other merchandise in warehouse,
to raise money for present requirements of
business Those informed on such matters
say that the Pacific Bank is the favorite. as
they are well aware, from the amount of
money constantly on hand in that institu-
lion, that they can always be accommodated
on such securities promptly, and on the
easiest terms.

THE Boston Transcript is Democratic,
and no mistake can be made concerning
it. But it hates false face and despises
duplieity. 1t has its opinions about the
civil service law, and it is frank in ex-
pressing them. 1t cannot stomach the
chicane and trimming of some leading
Democratic officials, 1t says concerning
one such:
The demand is becoming more urgent and
widespread every day that the President should
summarily dismiss some of these men like
Hedden, whose actions show plainly that they
have no respect for civil service reform and no
intention of carrying out the Presidents views
on this subject, except in SO far as they are co n
PEELED to by the letter of the law.
But who believes that any such men
will be. dismissed? Put spokesman in
place and trust him to keep it. Not even
the honesty of such Democrats as the
Transcript can make an impression upon
him. He will, if elected, "turn up"
somewhere in someway in the service.
The spoilsmen are of the Democratic
party by nature; they compose the larger
portion of the party, and there is no dis
guising the fact. The party if put to a
majority vote tomorrow would declare
against civil service regulation if it dared
to manifest its sentiments.

The selection of citizen to be United

whom the bestowal of the office will be an
act in special complimentary recognition
of his ability, distinguished services, and
his high character as a foremost citizen.
He is not to serve for six years, there are

Trying to Crawl Out of It.

WASHINGTON, April 3.-In reply to an
inquiry relative to an alleged decision of
Land Commissioner Sparks in respect to
the ownership Of lands in the Turtle
Mountain Indian country in Dakota,
the commissioner states that he has
made no decision in the matter, and
that the question had not been before
him. He says the false that he
had made such decision probably grew
out of the fact that he instructed the
surveyor general not to close a contract
with certain party for a survey in that
region for the present, as there seems
to be some confusion or disagreement
in regard to their status, and surveys
could be made elsewhere inst as
proftably.
