What They Have Done for England.

The Republican party allowed alien
capitalists to become possessed of 90
747,OOO acres of land in the United
States in the years they held the Gov
ernment after the close of the war. If
the change had not come when it did
there would have been no land for ex-
emption by a citizen in few years.
The Holland Land Company alone has
4,500, 600 acres in New Mexico, an En-
glish syndicate holds 100000 acres
in Texas, another English syndicate has
1.S0O, 600 acres in Mississippi, and Sir
Edward Reid and others claim 2,OOO,-
600 acres in Florida. The picture is
not very pleasant one for an Ameri-
can citizen to gaze upon, but is shows
that the g. o. p. was determined that
the gentry of England should have a
foothold in this country even If ysters
aus got no lard;--RefaiS Times.

gave him while playing with the edged

has been unable to conceal his chagrin
over his reckless language of his vola-
tile lieutenant. who has damaged him
far more than did the comparatively
harmless Dr. Burchard. There has
been some very candid correspondence
on the subject between the two men,
and the Senator has resorted to the de-
fence which his chief fell back upon in
his Portland speech early in the sum-
mer-that he was unsupported. In Sem
ator Frye's case the excuse is palpably
false. The point was not only the most
prominent in his speech here, but it
was repeated in the same language in
two subsequent speeches.-M Y Sam.
