EXPOSING LAND FRAUDS

AS an Illustration of what one earnest
newspaper can do, the New York Herald's
agitation of the public land question has
brought the powers that be to an early con-
sideration of this important subject. The
presi dent has expressed the opinion that it
is important for congress to take the matter
in hand, and will at an early day send a
message to that body relating to that sub
ject. The Herald sent its special cor
respondents down into New Mexico
and Arizona, and has succeeded
In unearthing mass of corruption in
connection with the appropriation of pub
lie lands in those territories by rings and
syndicates. After reading the develop.
ments mace by the Herald, one is brought
to the conclusion that honesty has been an
entire stranger to the land offices in those
territories. The developments of fraud
which have been made through the Herald
Justify prompt action on the part of the
government in an effort to rescue the pub
lie domain from the swindlers who.
with the connivance of government
officials, are swallowing it up SO
rapidly that very soon nothing will
be left for the honest settler. Indepen-
dent of this fact the swindling transactions
in New Mexico and Arizona have a ten
dency to discourage the settlement of other
territories where such frauds do not exist.
The average reader when reading these de.
velopments will naturally come to the con-
clusion jumped at by Commissioner SPARKS
that the whole public land system is honey

In justice to itself and in justice to the ter
ritories which are exempt from these swind.
ling operations, congress should at once
move upon the works of the swindlers in
New Mexico and Arizona, by passing such
legislation as will forever put an end to
land frauds and will punish the land-grab.

BIRMINGHAM, April 21.-Mr. Chamber
lain, speaking at q meeting here this even
ing, said that Mr.. Parnell would not regard
as permanent any settlement of the Irish
government which would not enable him to
sever the last link between ireland and
England. No free people worthy of the
name would submit to such restrictions on
their repressive authority as Mr.. Gladstone
proposed. AS regards Mr.. Gladstone's
alteration of the land-purchase bill the
amount proposed by him was only paper
estimate. 1t could not be doubted that at
least e150. 600, 900 would be required. He
(Chamberlain) would sooner quit politics
altogether than pledge British credit for
such sum and such a purpose. Irishmen
ought to be allowed to attend Westminster
and vote on all matters not specially re-
mittcd to the parliament at Dublin. He
would support Mr.. Gladstone all that he
consistently could if the latter accepted the
modification which he lChamberlain) sug-
gested.

OCEAN TRAVEL,

Now that the annual exodus to foreign
shores is about to begin suggestion with
reference to ocean travel made in Chicago
journal, the Current, is of interest. Partic-
ularly is it relevant because of the recent
sinking of the Oregon. 1t is urged with
considerable reason that the travelling public
has long since outgrown combination rail-
way trains and that their demands having
been recognized in The providing by the
companies of luxurious trains devoted eX-
clusively to passenger accommodation that
the same rule should hold good in crossing
the water. Ocean steamers which are
largely devoted to the carriage of freight
are necessarily bulky and unwieldy. Not
only does their great size render it neces-
sary to carry enormous cargoeS in order to
enable even a low rate of interest to be
gained, but for the same reason the
time occupied in making the passage is in
creased, and the dangers naturally incident
10 a sea voyage augmented. When ocean
steamers are devoted to exclusively to pas
sengers there will be less risk and more
pleasure in sea voyage. In this connec-
tion the suggestion is made that instead of
making the opposite ports of entry and de-
parture New York and Liverpool, that the
voyage can he shortened 900 miles by the
adoption of new ports. These are White
Haven in Nova Scotia and Milford Haven
in Wales. In choosing them the most dam
gerous part of the trip will be avoided,
the dangerous coastwise journey in Ameri-
can waters, and the no less precarious run
from Queenstown to Liverpool The sugges-
tion contains much of value and in view of
the large number of people in the North
west who annually visit foreign shores, it
is not without interest here.

LOOSE LEGISLATION.

An illustration was afforded in congress
yesterday to demonstrate with what crude
ness important bills often come from the
committees, and almost as frequently pass
in that shape. The river and harbor bill
which came from the committee actually
empowered the secretary of war to confis-
cate private property, and if it had not
been for the vigilance of some Pennsylvania
members, who had a personal interest in
the Monongahela river improvement, the
clause would not have been detected and
the bill would have passed in that shape.
1t would be a good idea for congress TO
adopt the plan of the old fashioned country
debating societies and appoint critic to
examine embryonic legislation.

VIENNA, April 21.-The condition of
affairs at Stry among the people who lost
their homes by the great fire is most pita-
bic. Most of the victims are without food
or means, and are rendered desperate by
the thought of starvation. The farmers in
the vicinity have been visited by mObs of
men, who have first demanded food and
then, if refused, stole it. Owners of farms
are now compelled to barricade their houses
as the only way to guard them from being
plundered of food by the mob, which, on
account Of hunger, is becoming uncontrolla-
BILE. Numerous struggles for food. result
ing in blOOdshed, have taken place. All
the public archives and registers of Stry
were lost in the fire. 1t will be necessary
TO ask grants of money from the Lemberg
diet and the reichsrath to relieve the dis
tress OF the thousands of destitute people.
The search for the remains of persons who
lost their lives during the confagration has
been proceeding as rapidly as the circum-
stances would allow. Thus far sixty eight
bodies, charred so as to make recognition
difficult have been taken from the ruins.
There have been twenty deaths in the
fields since Sunday of invalids, young and
old. who were taken out of the town to
escape the flames.
The best efforts of the journals of this
city have succeeded in collecting only $500
for the Stry sufferers. The municipal gov
eminent will solicit help from abroad. The
total loss of property amounts to 81, $780,
900. The soldiers have suppressed the loot
ing carried on by the peasants.

Tired ot tbe Struggle.

NEW YORK, April 21.-It is talked about
among the strikers again as 1t was on Mon
day that unless a speedy agreement is
reached they will stop every means of pub
lie conveyance I'm the city by tieing the Sur
face and Elevated roads, and even the ferry
boats. Tne railroad commissioners. finding
that their mission was at an end, started
Tor Albany this afternoon, leaving the road

for the strikers will next week lay before
the commission charges against the road
Tor violating its charter in not running cars
regularly, reducing its fares when its earn
ings exceeded 10 per cent of its capital
stock, etc. The executive board of the
Empire Protective association this after
noon issued card to the public denying
that it is in sympathy with resorts
to violence during strikes There is
very little probability that the
| Third Avenue railroad company
will change its position. There is nothing
left for the employees to do but to return 10
work upon as favorable terms as they can
make. Already the places of many of them
are filled by new men whom they cannot
displace. There are many complaints made
by the men who were compelled TO go out
on strike because ordered to do so. They
are anxious TO get back to work. The
probabilities are that if the orders are not
| Issued for them To return TO work tO-mor-
row many of them will go back without the
orders.
Affairs about the stables of the several
street railroad companies are very quiet to-
night There seems to be little 10 support
the rumor that there will be general tie-up
i'm the morning. None of the men have
yet received orders to quit work. and the
companies are all running their full CON-
plement OF men, with the exception of
the Third avenue line.
Late tonight there was rumor that the
strikers had threatened to set on fire the
house OF Superintendent Robertson of the
Third avenue line. AT the Fifty-seventh
street police station it was learned that the
superintendent had asked and had been
granted special watch for his residence
The men at midnight were yet continuing
a long session about which they were ex-
tremely mysterious. 1t was at that hour
generally believed that an extensive tie-up
would be decided upon. There is not a
little uneasineSs as TO the possible events of
the coming day.
While the meeting Of strikers is still in
session it is given out that a determination
has been reached to order tie-up of all the
street-car lines in the city at o'clock this
morning. The meeting is said to be having
trouble with the representatives of the
Second avenue line, who are making a
vigorous protest against quitting work
again. 1t is further understood that earnest
negotiations are in progress, not only with
.he employees of the elevated roads and on
ell the ferry lines between this city and
Brooklyn, jersey City and HobOcken, but
also with the conductors and driuers on all
of the Brooklyn and Jersey City lines of
cars. The gravest apprehensions for the
results during the next forty-eight hours are
felt
