An English syndicate has just concluded the purchase of tract of 63S, ,O0O acres of land in the ter ritory of Idaho for an alleged cat, tie ranch. Mir. N. P. kimball, of Bristol, Eng. who conducted the negotiations, states that no attempt will be made to stock the land at present, but that few pure Heresford cattle will be imported into the country and placed upon a small 10000 acre tract of the pur. chase next spriug. In short, Eng fish landiordism hich has made Ireland the land of paupers, has gotten possession of nearly one million acres of the fertile soil of the United States.
 Congress has the power to stop this. Let it pass law forbidding all foreigners owning land in this country, unless they become actual settlers. The United States is about the only government that now allows aliens to own land within it's domain, and We favor q law abolishin. it here.

Black Wolf.

Or Black Leprosy. is a disease which Is considered incurable, but it has yieled to the curative prop critics of Swift's Specitic--now known all over the world as $. $. $. Mrs. Bailey. of West Somervllle Mass, near Boston. was attacked several years ago with this hide ous eruption. and was treated by the best medical talent. who could only say that the disease was a species of s.Ei'ssOSY and con. sequently incurable. It is imposs- ible to describe her sufferings. Her body from the crown of her head down to the soleS of her feet was mass of decay, the flesh rot ting off and leaving great cavities Her fingers festered and several nails dropped off al one time. Her limbs contracted by the fearful ul- ceration, and for years she did not leave her bed. Her weight was reduced from 125 to 60 lbs. Some faint idea of her condition can be gleaned from the tact that three pounds of Cosmoline or ointment were used per week in dressing her sores. Finally the physicians acknowledged their defeat by this Black Wolf, aud commended the sufferer to her all wise Creator.
 Her husband hearing wonderful repnrts of Swift's Specific IS. $. s. prevailed on her to try it as last resort. She began its use nnder protest, but soon found that her system was being relieved of the poison, as the sores assumed a red and healty color, as tbough the blood was becoming pure and act i've. Mrs. Baily continued the g. $. $. until last February, every sore was healed; she discarded chair and crutches, and was for the first time in l2 years well woman. Her husband, MT. C. A. Baily, is in business at 17 1-2 Blackstone Street, Boston, and will take pleasure in giving the de- tails of this wonderful cure. Send to us for Treatise on Blood and Skin Diseases mailed free

 An account comes from Gal es- ton that Messrs. Barriet and Nelms, of Houston, have invented long distance telephone, The test was made over a coil of wire $50 miles long and was eminently successful. The new invention differs. it is said, from the Bell, Edison and other telephones, inas- much as it combines the effects of and induction coil aud the helix of a hand phone, causing them to act simultaneously and in concert with each other by winding the coils in the same direction and US. ing a carbon contracts enabling the use of a large amount of battery The test was made with three sells. For short distance no battery whatever is required, the automat- ic dynamo current being sufficient to articulate with great distinctness The inventors claim they can talk from New York to San Francisco with the same distinctness as. to- days test. A caveat has heen is- sued on the new instrument, and the Patent Office is now consider ing the application for patent.- New Orleans Times Democrat.

Listen to the New York Herald upon the magnificent resources of this country. It says; "The south has just begun to find itself out, and we have no doubt that when it looks itself all over carefully 1t will discover more good opportu- mites for business enterprises than can be exhausted in half a dozen generations. The country is young yet" This is the idea that out siders are getting of the situation down south. When this idea be- comes universal and the prejudices against this section are fully over- come, the south will assume the position of importance that she deserves.

Mir.

That the Democratic dog should presume to take the control of its own tail is doubtless a matter of considerable astonish- ment to them.- Washington Press.

The Tariff Reform Again Post
 poned.

Saturday, the Democratic House in Congress, by six majority, again refused to consider the Morrison tariff reform bill. In lieu ofa long editorial of onr own on this ques- ton, we copy below the Arkansas Gazette's leading editorial, of Sun. day last which gives our sentiments exactly:
 A DEFEAT THAT HASTENS VICTORY.
 By a vote of l4S to 154 the house has refused to consider the Morrison bill, defeated in singu- lar manner, but by a larger adverse majority, last session. Six Repub' licans voted to take up the bill, and tweuty-six members elected as Democrats united with the Re- publicans under Mr., Randall's leadership to defeat again Demo cratic measure of tariff reform.
 The members elected as Demo crats, who have thus gone over to the Republicans on the clearest cut issue separating the two great political parties, have shrunk in numbers. But they seem to be- long, body and soul, to MT. Ran dall, who belongs to the protec- tionists, aud is sent to Congress regularly from a district whi ch the Republican legislature of Pennsyl' yania steadily refuses to dispOssess of its Democratic majority by ap. plying the process of gerrymander- ing operated in other portions of the State. Although opposed to Republicans on all other questions, Mir. Randall's services to that par ty in defeating measures of tariff reform advocated by nineteen. twentieths of the Democratic par ty of the country are too valuable for his displacement to be consid- cred seriously. A year ago his cooperation meant over forty votes. Now it means twenty-six votes. A year or two hence, when the rapidly growing cause of tariff reform shall have triumphed, de spite Mir. Randall, he will awaken some fine morning and discover that he resides in a Republican district. Actions of the character he performs in defeating Lis own party do not inspire gratitude, Whenever the Republicans con clude that the Randall tariff lemon has been squeezed dry, they will cast it aside as worthless.
 We are not inclined to mourn over the defeat of the motion to take up the Morrison bill The question is growing and pressing. and agitation strengthens the cause of tariff reform Before October next the last of the , per cents will have been paid; and then, un- der the present laws, the accumu lation of a surplus at the rate of Sl25,000 GOO annually will begin. This accumulation, if unchecked, will deprive the people yearly Of that vast sum, now OelOnRlng To the commerce of the country, This surplus must be prevented by leg islation that will keep the great sum in the peoples pockets. No measure to reduce it by abolishing the internal taxes or the tariff on sugar can be passed. No such measure ought t1 pass. The re- duetion must come of duliable ar. ticles of prime necessity, to bene- it the many and not the few.
 Instead of even temporarily quieting the tariff issue, the vote on the Morrison measure adds to its prominence and forces ii to tine 1 front, If the Republicans and 1
