and its various amendments relate to
the right of persons, in possession of
forfeited lands to enter them at govern
ment rates.
The original land grant of the North
ern Pacific was 10000, $50 acres. Of this
the road has earned, under the condi-
tons of the grant, 1850, 800 acres, leav-
ing for forfeiture and settlement 3S,-
029, 760 acres.
AS is we'll understood, some years ago
congress subsidized number of rail-
road corporations by gifts of public
lands conditioned upon the accomplish
ment of certain specified work. For
every mile of railroad built a certain
amount of land was ceded; in case of
failure to fulfill the prescribed condi-
tons the land was to lapse to the gov
eminent. The law of forfeiture, how
ever, was not self-operative. 1t re-
quired an act Of congress to declare the
land forfeited, and it has been the OBJ
ject in chief of the corporations inter-
ested to block such legislation as was
necessary. Efforts have been put forth
in the house from time to time to de-
clare and thus legally complete the for
fixture, but they have been successfully
met by the friends of the railroads.
In the face of the figures expressing
the Interest at stake one is appalled, by
the utter recklessneSs with which the
public trust was betrayed by congress
when under Republican control. To
fifteen railroads some 12l, 10000 of acres
of the public domain was conditionally
ceded. To three alone, one of which
was the Northern Pacific, the great bulk
of this gift was made. Happily, the
roads which were to have benefited so
hugely have not taken advantage of
their opportunity. They have earned
by fulfilling the conditions but 2l,000,-
600; consequently 1OO,OOO.OOO acres are
yet actually owned by the government,
and by the passage of the bill repoi ted
in yesterdays GLOBE, with the amend
ment adopted by the house, at least 49,
200 acres will be rescued from the
grasp of the corporations to become an
inheritance of the people.

CAMERON'S CONTEMPT.
Don't Let That Creature Be Sent
to the White House.
PHILADELPHIA Times.

PHILADELPHIA Times.
Senator Cameron makes no conceal
ment of his hearty contempt for the Re-
publican standard-bearer. Recently, he
had Senators Allison and Hale to ac-
company him to his home for visit of
a few days. In the parlor car of the
railroad train was well known Indiana
LAWYER and Democrat, whose ability
ana whose prominence in his state are
attested by the fact that he has twice
represented Republican district in
congress. He was not acquainted with
Allison and Hale. but knowing Cameron
well accoSted him and was introduced
to bis distinguished companions.
When the four were seated the senior
PENNSYLVANIA senator said, and not in a
whisper: "Well, do you people intend
to let that creature Harrison carry In
diana?'
The Indiana statesman was rather
surprised, but said: Il think not. l
am of the opinion that Indiana is safe
for Cleveland"
WELL" said Senator Cameron earn
estly, you must watch our people
closely. for they intend to repeat the
1880 tactics upon you. But for heav-
ems sake. if only as an act of charity,
uOn let llldl creature idIriSOD De Senl
to the White house."
Charity? What do you meang'
asked the Indianian wonderingly.
Il mean he would be so confoundedly
lonely" answered the astute Simon's
son emphatically, THAT it would be a
crime to send him there. No self-re-
speeding man who was associated with
Harrison in the United States senate
would go near him in the event of his
election. l certainly would never call
upon him. Allison and Hale here may
not think it wise to talk as frankly as
l do but they know what l say is true"
And Allison and Hale also sat by,
smiled and said not word.
The author of this tale is the man to
whom the language was addressed and
who repeated it to me, and as for Cam
eron's milder accusation, to which Mr..
Rutan takes exception. to the effect
that Mr.. Harrison is ''chump," it ema-
mates not from one, but from half a
dozen prominent and earnest Republic
cans. Senator Cameron's position may
| not have influence upon many voters,
but in coming to New York Senator
Rutan should know that Republican
| harmony is not the thing it is cracked
m to be.

SHIVERING WITH FEAR.
All London Terrified by the Finding Of
Mutilated Body.
POLICE ROUNDLY SCORED.
A Proposal to Use BloOdhounds in Trac-
ing the Murderer Is
Favored.
Special Cable to the Globe.

Special Cable to the Globe
LONDON, Oct. 1.-The partially de-
composed trunk of woman, found in
q recess of the Thames embankment by
the police to-day, was removed to the
mortuary, where it will be examined by
experts tomorrow. The police have
preserved the arms recently found in the
Thames near Lambeth and express hopes
that they may fit the body, otherwise
evidence is established of two more
murders having been committed instead
of one. The body is hideously purified
and bears every indication of having
been mutilated several months ago. 1t
is also evident that it has never been in
tered. The sensation produced by the
finding of the body is simply terrific.
The police are as far as ever from a clue
of any practical value in detecting the
Whitechapel murder and
THE FEELING OF INSECURITY
and CONSERVATION is thereby greatly en-
HANGED. The woman murdered in
Mitre Square has not yet been definitely
identified, and the Identification of the
one found in Berner street is very
doubtful, despite the evidence given by
her alleged sister at the inquest
to-day. Professor Axe, principal of the
Royal Veterinary college, has eX-
pressed himself very decidedly in favor
OF the proposal to place blood hounds
at the eastern and western police
stations in the East end and have them
trained daily and kept in readiness for
immediate use in running the murderer
down. The professors belief in the
utility Of these ferOcious animals as
auxiliary police is strengthened by his
conviction that the murderer will soon
RESUME HIS BUTCHERIES,
in view of his phenomenal success in
Guiding detection. The general dread
of the appearance of the murdererin
other districts of London has greatly
stimulated subscriptions to the various
funds being raised as reward for his
capture, and the aggregate sum now
available is upwards of 91, 500. The
friction between the municipal and
the metropolitan police increases, and
Gen. Sir Charles Warren's fussy mill
tary methods are rOundly denounced on
Ill sides. The st. James Gazette closes
an article savagely criticizing Gen. War
ren's administration, with prayer for
squad of New York detectives to give
to the London police few lessons in
the profession they have apparently un-
wisely chosen.

MAKING HASTE SLOWLY.
The Investigation of the Aque-

Like.

The Investigation of the Aque-
duct Frauds Somewhat Snail
Like.
WASHINGTON, Oct. 2.-The work of
investigating the aqueduct tunnel
frauds is progressing slowly. The
army engineers who had charge of the
construction Of the aqueduct, and who
are now making the investigation, to-
day discovered several pieces of bad
work, as we'll as some which seems to
meet the requirements of the contract.
Some of the workmen, through whom
the defective work was first made
known, have stated that there are doZ-
ems of such "caverns," as have already
been discovered, scattered all through
the tunnel, and that there are many
places hundreds of feet in length
where no packing of any kind was used.
These workmen declare their ability
and readiness to point out to any proper
authority the location of these places.
Acting Secretary of War MacFeely said
to-day that in view of the proposed IN
vestigation by congress, the war depart
ment probably would not take any
further action III the matter until that
investigation was completed and re-
ported upon. He thought that the ref
erence of the charges to Maj. Lydeck-
er, the engineer in charge, with instruc-
lions for an investigation and report, is
all that is necessary at present.

The Collector of Customs at Frisco
Instructed to Enforce the Chi
neSe Exclusion Act.
WASHINGTON, Oct. 2.-Acting Secre-
tary Thompson to-day telegraphed the
provisions of the Chinese exclusion act
which went into effect yesterday to the
collector of customs at San Francisco,
and at the same time issued circular to
customs officers at the other ports pro-
mitigating the law and instructing them
/ to see to Its strict enforcement. 1t is
said that there are nearly 500 Chinese
immigrants ON the steamship which is
expected to arrive at San Francisco
Thursday.
HAGER HAS HEARD OF IT.
SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. 2.-Collector of
the Port Hager to-day received official
notice of the approval of the Chinese
exclusion bill from Assistant Secretary
of the Treasury Maynard. The col
lector will issue the necessary orders
to prohibit the landing of any more
Chinese. This order will first affect
several hundred Chinese on the steamer
Belgic, which will be due tomorrow.
Judge Hoffman, of the United States
district court, to-day declined to issue
any more writs of habeas corpus to the
Chinese who arrived here on the steamer
City of New York Saturday. The Gus
tom house officers have aScertained that

port are still outstanding,

scientists account for almost everything
under the sun. But it won't do in this
case. BROWN, the prOfusely married
man, does not seem to be product at
all. 1t looks as if he were injected into
the world like freak of nature. The
conditions of production are all con
frOnted by positive negations in the case
of the Michigan man. Only upon one
assumption can his career be explained
on a rational theory. He may have
been a dilettante in matrmony. Just as
a collector of the works of the great
masters is called n coanOiSSeur in art, 50
Brown may have devoted his HE to the
discovery of the vital principle OF domeS-
tic happiness. For nearly a thousand
years the alchemists devoted their time
and energies in pursuit of the elixir
which would insure prolonged exist
ence, and the process by which the
baSer metals could be TRANSMITTED into
gold. In their way they were great
phianthropistS. Their object was the
relief of human suffering. They sought
to perpetuate the vitalities of youth,
and put an end to poverty. 1t is posi-
bic that BROWN may have been actuated
by similarly comprehensive beneyo-
lence. He no doubt was conscious that
in many households there existed an
tagonisms that rendered domestic nap
piness impossible. lncompatibility of
per-dissimilarity in education and
natural qualities-often wrecked the
lives of married people. The divorce
court has been established in conse-
Quence of these very conditions. IT,
therefore, a principle" could be dis
covered recOnciling the acerbities OF
temper, which would have the same
effect on domestic storms that oil is
said to have upon agitated seas, the
problem of marital bliss would be
solved, and the divorce court could
be relegated to Obscurity. 1t was
in pursuit of this principle that BROWN
married often and late. Like an ami
mated Cupid, he pervaded society.
Where'er his smile of affection fell,
one more wrinkle was smOothed out of
the corrugated problem of domestic
ilNHplilNSo. OliS tg OiaN III VIZ
Michigan roses, and analysed their quail
tiles of head and heart. Occasionally,
in pursuit of his great natural principle
as contradistinguished from sci
entific idea, he raided into adjoining
states, and diagnosed the feminine
product of Illinois, Indiana and Wis
consin. But wherever he went, the
elusive principle evaded him. He had
given a great deal of his life to the pur-
suit of this secret securely hidden in
the mental anatomy of the women of
the land. But it was beyond his reach.
In despair he returned to Detroit, and
there the law seized upon him as an
offender, when he had only meant to be
a benefactor. And the most humiliat-
ing feature about the whole business is
that this generous man, who tried so
hard TO solve the riddle of married life,
is to be sent to the penitentiary. So
ciety, like republics, is ungrateful.

WASHINGTON, d. c., Oct 1.-The su-

FOR private land claim in Louisiana,
the lands of which were some wears ago
appropriated by the government. The
IhIrty-nintn congress recognized the
claim and passed an act directing the
secretary of the interior to issue GER
tlficates for other lands in lieu of those
appropriated, but the Fortieth congress
passed a resolution restraining the sec
rotary from issuing the certificates,
thus suspendIng the execution of the
law, the legality of which is now in
question.

BLAINE CUT SHORT.

1t is evident that Mr.. BLAINE's tour
in the West is to be cut short, and he is
to go back to the East, where his pOliti-
cal opinions are likely to do the least
harm. The search for some explanation
of the remarkable course he has pur-
sued in the present canvass opens up
bOundless field for conjecture, 1t has
been suggested that his trust speeches
were, and were meant to be, the most
tempting of all bats deliberately held
out to the cupidity and rapacity of the
monOpOlistS and OverprOtected classes.
A correspondent of the New York
Times the other day advanced this
startling hypothesis: "Why not let the
cat out of the bag? If the Republican
party wins, the electoral vote will be
cast for BLAINE"
1t is not probable that the bag would
yield cat of these proportions. The
course indicated would be most I'M
usual, and in view of our settled cleo
tOral practice and traditions, quite rev.
dictionary. Besides, if Mr.. BLAINE
were covert candidate, he would not
so openly play the fool on the platform,
for he has shown that in his own behalf
he is tolerably aStute gentleman. But
the Republican committee has done
wisely to decree that he shall come no
further West than Indiana in his stump
ing tour, and but for the fact that his
appointments have been so widely pub
liShed, it is clear that he would not be
permitted to meet those already made
for him in that state. The committee
views with justifiable alarm the con-
sequences likely to result from the pro-
lection into the granger states of cam
paign orator holding his indulgent
views of trusts. Then there recurs
another suggestion, founded on a GER
tain degree of plauSibility, taking into
consideration Mr.. BLAINE's character
and antecedents. 1t is this Often-re-
peated suspicion that ''he does not in
tend that it shall go into history that it
was the candidate and not the party
who was defeated in 1884," If this Sus-
piciOn be well founded, it is easy to &C
count for his advocacy of merciless tax
alton and his defense of trusts.

FUTURE DRESSMAKERS.
The WOndruOs Artists Now Being
Trained in Paris,
London Telegraph.

London Telegraph.
Partisan dresSmakerS, or couturieres,
have always had reputation for taste
and skill. They were, however, gener-
ally trained in a rather irregular
fashion, much being left to their in
tuitive or their initiative faculties.
Nowadays, however. the apprentice
couturieres are educated professionally
in a most methOdical manner, and it is
predicted confidently on this account
that the dressmakers of the future will
be the most wonderful products that
the world of fashion has ever seen.
In all the professional schools of the
city of Paris girls are taught not only
sewing, but Euclid and drawing. After
having mastered the mysteries of the
bridge of Donkeys," and all the other
theoremS ard propositions evolved and
elucidated by the famous Greek mathe-
matlcian, the embryo dressmakers
receive elaborate lessons in design.
Their teacher, the maitreSse cOuturiere.
is skilful geometrician and designer,
as well as a perfect needlewoman and
tailoreSS. She makes her pupils sketch
OH paper or on cloth with graphic and
symmetrical precision the costumes
which they have ultimately to construct
in solid stuffS, and teaches them to
transform various articles of feminine
attire by rapid strokes of pencil or
chalk from rotonde to a mantelet, and
from corsage or basque to pelerine.
But the cultivators of the young dress
making idea do not stop at drawing and
geometry. They also aim at making APP
prentice eOuturiereS water colorists-
not, of course, for the purpose of en-
aiding them to emulate Turner OF
IsaDey, but in order to help
them to combine color with form in the
motter of building up dresses. NJ. Gus
tave Congny, who has devoted his time
to writing book on this highly inter-
esting subject of the artistic dressmak-
ers of the future, goes into raptures
about the remarkable metamorphosis
which fashion is likely to undergo at
the hands of the esthetic couturieres
who are to come. What lovely sar-
torial symphonies, he seems to say
what dainty and delicious har-
monies in f1ounces: what Arcadian
poems in petticoats will be evolved from
the brains of the highly trained seams
treSses who are on their way to rejoice
mankind. 4 coutuliere will in future
be yeritable artist, ranking with the
doctresseS in medicine and physics, and
outstanding" all the members Of the
minor callings and pursuits which are
nowadays taken up by females.

And glanced all around with beaming
smile;
Yet none can tell what lies in wait,
Before the end of tariff debate,
And high tariff men are moaning.
Each speaker arose and he said his say.
Reed and Randall and merry Carlisle,
All laughed at Reed as he joked away,
And told his story in capital style,
Sam Randall hewed with a well-worn ak
But Carlisle stuck to the figures and
facts,
And high tariff men are moaning
The people are reading the speeches DER,
OF Reed and Randall and merry Carlisle,
And he of Kentucky now has the floor
And is like to keep it little while.
For the facts as plain as fact can be
That he was the speech of all the three,
And high tariff men are moaning.
