REVIEW.


On careful review we find that no
statement Of ours needs review. To
prevent the fragments of our articles
from being misunderstood and miscon-
strued we send more satisfactory
statement.
Flrst-Land Monpolics. We learn
from the JOURNAL and other sources
that between the years 'Gi and '7G the
grant of 1876 millions of acres of land
was made to Canal and Railroad corpoi-
ations. If the grant Of so much land
was needed to facilitate freight and pas
scnger traffic, very good. The people
will find no fault. But If these millions
were obtained by fraud to enrich corpo
rutions Mt the expense OF the people, let
the people through the government Or

of these lands obtained by fraud, arous-
ed the wrath of land grabbcrs and rail

Sparks Cleveland did well. Why did he
dismiss him To appcase incorporated
wrath2 Sparks says, "the operations of
the past year, as previously, have been
conducted under the encouragement of
inadequate appropriations" Why dis
courage him? Lamar and Cleveland?
Second-The Tariff. Under its pro-
lection agriculture, manufactu res and
commerce were enriching the nation.
The revenue is sufficient to make large
and needed improvements. 1t needed
some revision, but why cut it down !?
Let Cleveland answer. Will he put all
improvements in statu quo?
Third-Civil Service Reform. Why
violate that law? Let Cleveland answer.
Fourth-The Constitutional Veto.-
Why abuse that power? Does Cleveland
suppose that the Constitution gives him
the power to dump the enactments of
Congress into bis coat-tail pocket to an
unlimited extent? Not so thought
Washington or any other president.
Fifth-Pensions Why did Cleveland
say that "a pension would place as SOL
dier before the world as pauper ~ Did
not the soldiers save the nation? Can
this government ever pay the soldier
for this service in full? Why say, then,
that payment in part would make him
a pauper? If the payment of govern
