speculative purpose, and to reserve 1t for actual
settlers 1t ia also true that great abuses have
grown up under the laws relating to timber
culture and the sale Of desert land, and under
the presumption law. The objects of these en-
actmeDts were praseworthy. But in some re-
spects they were defective in form; and their
working has been radically changed within the
past few years by reason of the growing de-
mand for tracts of land, within reach of the
new railways which have penetrated the terri
tories to be held for speculative purposes. Mis-
taken decisions of the department have also
ppened the way to some frauds Corporations
have secured in some cases, extensive tracts
of land to which they were not justly entitled.
Legislation to remedy all these evils Is entirely
justified In framing such legislation there
ought to be care to guard against wrongful con-
fscation of property or unjust interference with
any legitimate investment but the paramount
object should be to protect the country against
wrongful possession of the public land, and
against holding of land for speculative ends.
Acts which prevent further abuses can be
more unreservedly supported than acts which
attack existing claims Of ownership. The
latter may do wrong; the former can wrong
nobody. But there is no question that public
Ooinion in both parties strongly iavOrs policy
of great caution In conserving the Nations
landed estate. Both parties unite In the House
in repeating the timber culture and other acts,
which have been found open to abuse, as both
parties unite in the Senate in prohibiting the
requirement of titles to land by aliens, and in
restraining future ownership of land by corpo-
rations. The bill passed by the House on Mon
day under suspension of the rules it is UNDER
stood, has already been considered by the Re-
publican caucus in the Senate, with agreement
in its favor. Nor should there be hesitation in
retaining for the Government lands really not
earned by corporations to which they have been
conditionally granted. Wherever real frauds
have been committed under the Homestead act,
il is right that these should be detected, and
that similar frauds should be prevented as far
az possible, without defeating the aims of the
Homestead act itself. But it should not be for
gotten that lands are blessing to the people
only if they are made as free as possible to
actual settlers.

| THE EXPULSION OF HE FRENCH PRINCES.
The French Chamber has passed the bill for
the expulsion OF the French Princes, after
modifying VI. de Freycnets proposition to the
extent of empowering the Government to expel
the younger members and limiting the decree
of immediate exile to the head of the Orleans
! family. No doubt is enter tanned as to the
passage of the new law by the Senate. The
vote of the Chamber must be regarded as indi-
eating at least general belief in the popularity
of the measure, and while it is open to the
Interpretation of a symptom of weakness in IL G
republic, and perhaps is so, there are some con-
siderations which give the position of the Gov
eminent a more reasonable aspect than it at
| first appeared to bear. 1t is of course obvious
that the expulsion of the Orleans Princes can
not prevent them from rguing but what it
will do is to relieve the republic of response
blity for their intrigues with foreign powers.
France might be able to put up with machna-
tons directed against the present form of gov
eminent, but NJ. de Freycinet is not without
justification in arguing that the result of per-
hitting the Princes to intrigue W it'll the powers
which already regard the republic with jealous
dstrust must be to embroil the country with
foreign powers
While the Orleans Princes remain in France,
the French Government is responsible for their
actions. In allowing them to maintain a prop
agandst press it has left in their hands means
of promoting serious difficulties with Germany.
The Legitimist journals have adopted Chauvin-
ism as popular policy, and have laborcd so
eagerly TO excite the French masses in behalf
Of a war of revenge that Prince Bismarck has
more than once felt it necessary to demonstrate
with the French Government. 1t is no doubt
true that the Legitmlst press may persevere in
its " Jingoism " after the Princes have left The
country, but its course will not then have the
same significance. If in one light the adoption
of the expulsion bill looks like submission to
foreign dictaton, in another it appears rather
an evidence of practical sense on the part of
the Government. For in the first place
France is not yet ready to fight Germany and
in the second place it would be very bad policy
for the republic to let itself be drawn by the
Orleanlst intrigues into struggle which
would possibly exhaust it and bring about
their opportunity.
An ideally strong and consistent republic
would, it may be freely granted, have ignored
the Orleans Princes instead of banishng them.
Such a policy, however, could only be applied
by power having no tntangling foreign rca-
tons power such as the United States in
fact. Even in the United States, however, it is
well to remember that after the conquest of in
dependence there was a prevalent DISPOSE
ton to deal harshly with the Tories, and that n
good many pains and penalties were enacted
against them, under the impression that tho

Friends of Yale can hardly be pleased with
the outlook for the Yale crew in the coming
race with Harvard According to a correspond
ent in New-Haven, the Yale men are in bad
form and there is grave doubt whether Cook,
with all his efforts, can put them into such
shape that they will make creditabe contest,
much less win the race. The time in which to
do this is not long. Harvards crew, on the
Other hand, is said to be in fine condition and
hopeful of beating both Yale and Columbia.
The Columbia men, who are already on the
Thames, are not making much noise. but it is
believed that they are an excellent crew and

Lamont characterizes the story crediting them

Dental campaign that the Democrats and Mug
wumps had organized a corner in that cloth and
that no outsider could get yard of it, they having
agreed to take the entire output of the factory until
further notice. 1t must be therefore that those who
enormously chronicle the Presidents movements
are of his own political household.

safety of the republic was endangered by their
presence. In England too, where freedom
broadens down from precedent to prece dent,"
there was time when the adherents OF the
House of Hanover thought no precautions too
great to keep the Stuarts out of the country.
Such apprehensions may be evidence CT weak
ness, but if they are it is better to confess the
weakness, and cover it by protective measures
than to deny its existence, pretend to the pos
session of robust strength, and collapse under
the strain of the imposition The French
republic undoubtedly is immature. 1t is also
surrounded by enemies watching for its fall and
hoping that it may occur. Its Government
decides that in the circumstances 1t cannot
afford to shoulder the responsibility OF Its
enemies as well as that of its friends This
appears to be the explanation of the expulsion
bill, and perhaps the French Ministry and
Chamber are the best judges of what the
country requires. One thing is certain, how
ever, that if the measure is commended to the
people as means of preserving peace and the
stability of the existing institutions, it will have
the approval of the French masses.

What the Mayflower can do is matter of mere
conjecture though the reports indicate that Boston
must content herself with but one wonder. The
aures won by the Puritan ought to satisfy her fol

The second chapter of General Badeau's in
teres;ing series Oh Grant IN Peace" will be
found on the thirteenth page of this issue of
THE TRIBUNE. 1t deals with the terms made
by Grant with Lee at AppOmattox. General
Badeau asserts that the terms of surrender were
not dictated or even suggested to General
Grant, who did not himself decide upon them
until he had Lees army III his grasp. Grants
magnanJmity is shown by his Willingness to al
low his fallen foes to retain their side-arms and
personal effects. A striking contrast is drawn
between the commonly dressed, battle stained
cOnquerOr and the handsome garb OF Lee and
his officers at the moment of surrender. The
paper Is accompanied by fac simile of a note
written by General Lee.

One of the unfortunate features of the pres

soDal bitterness that has arisen between some
of the leaders and their active partsans. This
feeling of personal hostility is manifested par.
ticularly against Mr.. Chamberlain and grows
out of his break with the Premier and his
earnest opposition to Mr.. Gadsfonc's Home

of the open development of this feeling,

venent number to use at any time In speaking
OF that papers circulation. In the extremity
Mr.. Beecher generously came forward with
letter his own signature praisng Tho Poss and
saying that in fact he regarded it as model family
journal.
Now, of the two responsible editors of The Post,
the ono had declared The Chicago Tribune and
the other in The Ncc- York Nation-the papers which
they respectively controlled at the time-tho belief
both entertained that substantially Mr.. Beecher
pcrured adulterer and infamous hypocrite.
Such was their need of a character, however. GIN

parade the certificate of their perjured adulterer
and infamous hypocrite to the moral qualities and
fitness to enter the family of their present news

took pains to give it as conspicuous position as
they could on their editorial page. And why not !
1t was the hest certificate they could get. and
they needed it mighty bad SO they remain Mr..

Among the Democratic organs which have rushed
in wild haste to deny the story that Cleveland and
his New-York rival are regarding each other with
ili-cOncealed aversion, none is more superservice-
able than Fagin's apostate Times. Considering the
fact that it writes Hill down as the lowest type of

to the glory and honor of the canonzed Cleveland,
ono would suppose it would hardly be so eager to
show that its god is hobnobbing with so dark
spirit And yet The Times will have it that the
President and the Governor are only sad when out
Of each Others arms. There is letter. it says

But unfortunately there is so much that is purely
personal in the missve that il wouldn't do to print
