One important point is now tolerably

VIII be no W.T. about Bulgaria. In his re-
cent speech the Prime Minister said that
England would not act alone and would
only fight if the majority of all the great
States OF Europe were ready to fight on the
same side. But they are not ready. They
decline. Some of them have other fish to
fry and some of them are on the other side,

FOREIGN LAND GRABBING.

Under this caption the San Francisco
\ Chronicle so forcibly voices western senti
ment upon this subject that we give itl
article space:
at appears that the foreign capitalist il
no longer satisfied with buying lands in
this country in large tracts. and at nomi
nal prices, by the straightforward means
of bargain and sale. He must also resort
to lobbying, to corrupt negotiation with
the Indians, and to other methods which
have hitherto been chiefly employed by
native American citizens when actuated
by a desire to get rich by unworthy means.
A Canadian syndicate is accused of having
procured the insertion of a special clause
in the Sundry Civil Service bill of Congress
for the express purpose of obtaining pos
session of vast belts of timber land in
Northwestern Minnesota. now owned by
the Indians. The commission appointed
under this bill to negotiate with the tribes
for their removal to Northern Nebraska
will, if it is successful, render it possible
for this audacious scheme to be consum-
mated. In other words, a most valuable
piece Of territory, which should be opened
up to settlement, or at least to exploita-
ton by American citizens, will thus be tied
up in q foreign monopoly which has no
claim to the special facilities afforded By
our liberal laws to the private purchaser of
public lands.
The evil OF foreign acquisition within the
United States of property Of this descrip-
ton is growing to gigantic proportions,
and it is fully time that a period was being
put to it. Not only are timber lands
monopolized by aliens, but also grazing,
mineral and farming lands, and in some
instances the very choicest of these that
can be found. In most countries there is
a wide distinction made between the tenure
of real estate by a foreigner and by q cit
lien. There is none here. Not only this,
but the legacy OF cheap lards which be-
longs to the entire people is being rapidly
flched from them by the railroads and
native and alien land grabbers. Congress
at it's next session should take some rad.
ical action upon this subject, and espec-
tally as regards nonresident foreigners.

DEMAND FOR SILVER.

The report Of Secretary Manning throws
which is extremely gratifying to those who
have contended for the metal, and whit
have held, in the face OF all opposition,
that silver would yet command the respect
| of its adversaries and in due time take ite
accustomed place in the monetary chan
nels of the world.
But for the important part which silver
and silver certificates have played in none.
tary channels during the past year, the
activity referred to would probably have
been still more decidedly felt. The Trea-
sury through the increased demand for
money, has been enabled to float q large
amount OF it's silver, and hereafter the de-
mand for small silver certificates will en-
able it to issue these to an amount only
limited by the coined silver in-or which
may be deposited in-its vaults.
In this way the Treasury has afforded,
and will continue to afford. more import
ant relief to the money market than
through the medium of it's bond calls, from
which too much was expected by those
who failed to consider that the called
bonds were held very largely by the ma
tional banks as q basis of circulation.
1t will be seen by the report Of the Trea-
sury that it's silver holdings reached their
maximum amount about the first OF Au-
gust last. showing at the time the large
sum of nearly ninety-eight millions. On
the first of November this amount wat re-
duced to about 86h millions, showing that
about liz millions had been set free for
business purposes from this source alone,
the greater portion OF it having gone south
and west. But during the three months in
question SA millions we're coined, which also
found it's way into circulation.
Silver has been An important factor in
favor OF monetary ease. In other words,
it has neutralized the contraction of the
national bank notes through bond calls.
The fact that nearly twenty millions of sill
yer have been put into circulation during
the three months ended on the LIST inst.
proves that all apprehension about silver
have died out and that the opposition to
It's unlimited coinage will also seon die out
the minds of those who have honestly
held that it would demoralize the finances
the country.

The extent to which opium smuggling is
carried on at San Francisco, says the
Chronicle of that city, invites attention to
the insufficiency of the precautions which
are nominally taken to prevent it. Collec-
tor Hager estimates that the amount per
year which is struggled through the GUS
toms is about $2,0OO,OOO. There is no
reason to suppose that he exaggerates it.
Recent developments suggest that employees
OF the steamship companies are probably
deeply concerned in the ne~farious traffic,
and that they are willing to resort even to
violence toward the custom officers to
shield their accomplices.
