AN IMPORTANT DECISION.
WAsHINGToH, Oct. SAN important
land Office decision has been made by
Commissioner Sparks, involving title TO
certain valuable lands in the vicinity OF
New Orleans covered In part by the town
Of CRrrolton, and upon other ports by
buildings and improvements OF great
value, including the Metairie race course,
Metairie cemetery and shell road and
the railroad front Of New Orleans to Lake
Pontchatrain. The property has been
claimed and possessed since the middle OF
the last century under a French grant,
which had been surveyed and segregated
from the public domain. Adverse claim
ants asserted title by virtue Of GER
tain swamp and other selec-
tons under grants 10 the state OF
Louisiana. Commissioner Sparks holds
that the French grant is D complete title,
protected by the treaty Of 1908, and not
needing legislative or other confirmation
by as, and the lands, being private prop

not pass under these grants. The amount

hat in this matter the Republican Sen
atCrs are making partisan fight for
partisan advantage, with two objects in
view. One of these is to create suspicion
against the Administration, and the other
is to retain Republican iucuubents in Of
fee. The Sun willingly lends itself TO
assist the first of these objects, and stulti-
fes itself BY eovertlY assisting in the sec
oud. No paper in the United States has
been more fierce and persistent in IT'D de-
mand for the removal of Republican office
holders than our contemporary, yet it now
lends an unssked support to this effort
to continue them in Office We no longer
hear its war cry, Turn the rascsls out.
The explaostion Of this change Is
doubtless found in the refusal of the sd'
ministrstion to allow the Sun to intimidate
it into Withdrawing the suit to test the va
lidity of the Bell telephone patent The
yipor and vindictiyeness Of the Sun in its
treatment Of this question have been al
most unprecedented, and it now appears
that great as Is the necessity for the Suns
recovery of the favor of Democrats, its in
terest in the telephone monopoly is sufii
cient to cause it to array itself with the
most viruleut foes OF the party in attack
ing the Democratic Administration
The Sun is, doubtless, like other
newspapers, business enterprise
aud is the best Judge of what will advance
its own pecuniary interests. The favor o.
the Bell Telephone Company, is, perhaps
worth more to it than the good will Of tie
Democrats of the United States; but one
thiug ia certain, our luminous neighbol
has entered upon a course that will alien

Gratis may have for it, aud teach the party

The bill prepared by Senator Frye, OF

American Republics looks very pretty at
a distance, but On closer inspection i is
found to be but great windbag blown up
to delight JAMES G. BLAINg and some Of
his visionary followers.

Piles money is asked. This is to be spsnt
in taking number OF gentlemen from the
American Republics whether chosen hy

a grand excursion over the United States
in order that they may see the signs AID
enjoy themselves, and that our people may
tell them what fIe fellows they
are and how well they like
them. Added to this section Of
tue bill are several Others which, it is al
legged, will BY some mysterious providence
increase Cur trade with the American Re
publics.
A line Of steamers is to be at once
formed between the countries, in order to
wait for the appearance Of trade. But,
wouldn it be be better to wait till trade
demands the building OF ship,? 1t will
be rather lonesome to keep line Of emp
ty ships moving. Whenever there is trade
there will be no trouble about getting
transportation.
Senator Frye ssys that the extension Of
our markets upon this hemisphere is one
Of the most important questions confront
ing the American people. This is true
and it is good thing thai Mr.. Frye and
other high tariff men have found it out
A home market" is what they have been
all along seeking at the expense OF foreign
markets. Ii we can manufacture goods as
cheaply as European nations, there will be
no trouble about having q market in South
America. The people OF South America
as Mr.. FIRE says, may be ignorant OF the
United States, but then they know good
bargain when they see it. They know the
difference between paying i've dollars for
American goods that can be bought from
Europe for four dollars.
This grand international excursion
would no doubt be big thing, but that's
al. What the people Of the United States
must have in extending their trade is 10
produce as cheap products and Of as good
quality as other nations Oar trade will
then flow to Central and South America,
Just as naturally as the old Oslo flows into
the Mississippi.
