ALIEN land ownership has become
an important matter in the Territories
of the West, and there will be general
approval of the bill just presented to
Congress by the House Committee on
Public Lands, prohibiting any resident
or nonresident alien or foreigner who
has not declared his or her intention
to become a citizen of the United
States, or any corporation or assOcia
ton one tenth of the stock or right of
property of which is owned or con.
troled by foreigners, from acquiring,
owning or holding any real estate III
any OF the Territories of the United
States. The bill makes exception of
the land necessary for the cOnsJruc-
ton and operation of any railway.
The committee in its report presents
q list of twenty nine alien companies
and individuals holding over 20, zoo, 900
acres-very nearly the area OF Penn
sylvania-and the list is by no means
complete. The largest of these tracts
is owned by the Holland Land Com
pany in New Mexico, and contains
4 800, 900 acres an English syndicate
in Texas 5000 900 acres Sir Edward
Reed and company in Florida 2, ,0OQ
O3O. and so Oh down through the mil
lions and hundreds of thousands TO
5, 600 acres owned by Sir ]. L. Kay of
London. These great tracts have in
art been acquired by the frauds and
neriuries under the preemption laws.
Investigation showed that in one case
u skillful preemptor had obtained 3d.
600 acres-enough 10 make homes of
16O acres each for 1S7 families. Aud
bv such and other frauds and viola
tic ms of law the public domain has
been reduced until there remain only
5 ,OOO, 900 acres of land arabic without
irrigation, and only $4,000, 900 acres at
all arabic, even with irrigation.

Unity and Fraternity.

All the violent talk about jeff Davis
and a revivsl of the secession senti-
ment of 1S60-65 is balderdash when
viewed in the light of reasen. The
past twenty years have done much to
tone down the bitterness that existed
when the civil war was brought to a
close in 1865. A new generation has
come into the field of action, and the
intercourse they and their fathers have
had during those years with Northern
men has convinced the people of the
South that all are brothers in the Un-
ion. Selfinterest has proved to them
that Northern capital is required to
develop the great and untried indus
tries of the South. While there yet
remains small minority that mourns
the " lost cause" the great mass in the
South are as loyal to the flag and the
Union as the most patriotic lover of
his country could wish. Former and
blue and the veterans in gray have
proved that fraternity is easy, and
that the snimOsities of a quarter cen.
tury ago are forgotten.
Last week the friends of the Con.
federate dead who are buried at Chat
tanooga adorned the graves of the
fallen ones with flowers. On that oc-
casion large basket of beautiful flow
ers was presented to the ladies of the
Confederate monument association by
Captain John Trindle, u. s. A, su-
perintendent of the national cemetery.
Mission Ridge Post, &. A. r., on the
same occasion, contributed to N. b.
Forrest Camp, c. w., a beautiful floral
anchor accompanied with q friendly
note, which is as follows:
To Colonel Garnett Andrews. Commander. N. B.
Forrest Camp. c. ". Nos
Prompted by the purest and best
motives, the comrades of Mission
Ridge post, No. 45, G. A. r., ask to
present this humble floral offering in
memory of the Confederate dead. Nav
we not cherish the trust that it is SYM
bolic of that anchor on which now
rests the hope of our republic-one
country, one people. one flag?
At your feet peacefully repose your
heroic dead. AS "foemen worthy of
our steel" they battled long aud val
iautIy for what they believed to be
right The past lies buried with them,
The present alone Is ours.
With profound and soldierly regard,
we have the honor to be your obedi-
ent servants,

PRETTY good Republican authori: y
the New York Times-commentirg =
on the gerrymander just made in Ohio,
and the probability of contesting del
egations before the next House OF
Representatives, says:
Should this succeed and the courts
give it sanction, Ohio would seat full
Democratic delegation in the Fiftieth
Congress. The possibility of such a
terrible retribution has occurred to the
mind of Senator Sherman, who op-
posed the Reapportionment bill, ard
in letter to Senator Conrad raised
the point that should the choice of a
President be thrown into the House
in 1888 it would be extremely disagree
able to have the vote of Republican
Ohio cast by solidly Democratic del
egation.
But the Republicans at Columbus
were deaf to all entreaties and argu-
ments and appeals. They did their
work rather biindly and greedily and
in the true partisan fashion. They
will have no just cause of complaint
if its fruits shall not be to their liking.

LOVERS FOUR AND MAIDENs FIVE:
A STORY OF THE ALLEGHENYMOUN
TAINs," by JULIUS CHAMBERS
Price 25 cents. Philadelphia: Por-
ter & Coates.
This love story of Cresson Springs
reawakens all the old fascination that
q visitor to that beautiful resort has
experienced. The weird and romantic
localities are described in a gay and
vivid manner many of the lost tales
of the Alleghenies have been rescued
from oblivion and upon the pretty
thread of a love tale valuable collec-
ton of historical and Typographical in
formation has been grouped. Areally
novel idea is the foundation of the
story. Four young men go to CressOn
to pass summer month and they find
four charming girls. AT first there is
harmony; but fifth girl, entirely out
side the group, resents a slight that
has been put upon her, and succeeds
in disorganizing the party to such an
extent that only one couple marry as
they originally hoped. Some admira-
BILE pictures of clever young women
are drawn, and several keen hits are
made regarding the society young wo-
men are drawn, who manages her
parents. 1t is in every way clever
and readable volume. One can enjoy
it at sitting. I he fifteen original
pictures by J. B. Sword, N. A, and F.
G. Schell give it additional value.
Many crisp epigrams are scattered
through the pages that would we'll re-
pay quoting, but it would be unfair to
our readers to deprive them of the
pleasure they will derive in picking
out the bright sayings for themselves

enjoyable feast before you"

widening Decoration Day.

There is well defined tendency to
a more general observance of Decora-
tion Day, time household graves as
well as those of the soldier dead shall
be heaped over with flowers. Why
should it not be memorial day in its
most beautiful conception when
memories of faithful father who died
in the harness: of a gray haired mother
whose love was supreme to the last !;
of little child that went out alone
into the darkness and mystery of death
shall come back for one brief day in
mingled grief and gladness Why
not make it a day when the cities OF
the dead shall see all their streets
strewn with flowers, and every silent
mansion of rest buried under the
blossoms of spring ?-Pittsburgh Dis,

Durbin Ward Dead.

CINCINNATI, May 22.-Gen Durbin
Ward died at his home in Lebanon at
2:45 this afternoon. For years ne has
been sufferer from rheumatism, and
has been confined to his room for the
past five or six weeks. Yesterday and
until his death today he was uncon.
scious and not able to recognize even

General Ward was born in Augusta,
Brackey county, Ky, February lIth,
1919, of English farming parents. He
entered Miami University at the age
of eighteen, and began the practice OF

few years later. He was afterwards
partner of Governor Thomas COrwin,

State arms to Kossuth, the Hungarian
exile. Until Zach TayIor's election to
the Presidency General Ward affilia-
ted with the Wing party. In 1856,
the Whig party having disbanded, he
was nominated by the Democrats for
Congress, and defeated. In 1855 he
was beaten for Attorney General OF
Ohio on the Democratic ticket. In
1860 he was a delegate to the Charles
ton and Baltimore conventions, in
which he was a strong supporter of
Stephen A. Douglas.
General Ward was Union soldier
and was wounded at Chickamauga. l..
About 1866 he opened a law office in
Washington. In 1866, while still in
Washington, he was again nominated
for Congress in the Third Ohio district
but was defeated by General Robert
G. Schenck. From 1866 to 1869 he
served as United States District At
torney for the Southern Distr ct of
Ohio Since 5hen he has practiced law
in Cincinnati. The General was mar
ried November 27, 1866. to Miss Eliza
beth Probasco, but no children survive
him
