A Gigantic Salt Syn 'icate.

The Toledo (Ohio) Blade says that Wei
lington r. Burt, of Saginaw, president of
tht Michigan Salt Associatinn, will sail
on Wednesday for Southampton, on the
North German Lloyd steamer Saale, on an
errand, the r, suits of which will be felt
from one end of the United States to The
other. He goes to secure $40 .000, 900, by
means of which, within the pool already
formed in this country, the entire sa I
product OF. the Unied Sta,e4 will be con
troll ed 10y syndicate, of which he will
be the head. English cspi aIists, who
have operated q salt trust IN Great Brit

details of which have all been arranged,
and which will all be settled by Mr.. Bur,
during his brief visit to Eugland. The

it resembles one. 1t is simply applying
to the entire salt industry Of the United
States the same principles that from time

producing section in the Saginaw Valley.
Each district wil produce the usual
quantity of sat, and will report to head

In accordance with the proc ama,ion Of
President Harrison, !, ,ss7, 500 acres OF the
Oklahoma lands were thrown open to
settlers at noon on Monday. Long before
the arrival Of the time at which the lands
could be occupied immense crowds bad
gathered on the borders ready to rush in
and secure good claims a, the first oppor-
tunity, and on the afternoon of the first
day but few desirable claims were left for
the lsggards- In the requirement OF these
claims by the settlers much dispute arose
and conflicts and bloodshed ensued, which
even the presence of large force OF mill
tary were powerless to check. II 10 now

while ago was barran backwoods coun-

of Western progress" Within six hours

Titles JeOpardiZed.

Lawyers, real estate dealers, ccnveyan
GERS and property owners are very much
exercised over the effect of recent decis
ion of the Court of Appea's, which it is
said, virtually clouds the titles to nearly
onethird of the property in Mary land
More especially is The effect of the decis-
ion felt in the city, where transfers OF
property are frequent, and real estate deal
ers say they have titles every Gay because
of it. The decision was handed down In
the case of Levi vs.. Rothschild, and vir-
tually makes all properly convey ell to q
married women, no mater how acquired.

The sentiment in the decision objected to
is as follows "It can hardly be necessary
to say that where conveyance is made I.
a married woman, the burden of proof il
on the wife to show that the property was
purchase d and paid for out of money be-
longing to her, and that, in the al SERGE
of such proof, the pre- resumption is that
Tue uuSDdhu luTnlsneu tue means OF pay
ment."
The Code provides for the holding OF
property by married women, and its ex-
emption from liability for their husbands
.4ebts and for the proper transfer of prop.
er:y from a husband to wife. The only
interdict put upon such transactions is
where there is an evident intent to de
fraud creditors, where the property so
transferred is still liuble tor The husba nd g

ferred to il is claimed that wife's prop

was left her by her father or other rela
tives, or was earned 10y herself, is respon-
s,ble in the absence OF this proof for the
debts of tSS9hs.,and. The wife holding
property in her own name, and wishing

that it was not purchased with money

Politics Make q Difference.

The present Administration was herald
ed as one overaowing in gratitude to the
soldiers of the late war. Harrison, him
self an exfederal soldier, has said that the
veterans should receive especial recogni-
tioD; heads of departments have made
similar declarations, and Corporal Tanner
has distanced all on the soldier business
He not only wants to put them into all
offices, but wants to increase the pensions
Of every one now drawing q pension and
10 grant pensions to all who ever served
in the army, whether disabled or not All
this love for soldiers upon the part of the
Republican Administration, applies only
to Republican soldiers. Democratic SOL
diers are not recognized, and are not-even
given as much consideration as ex con-
federates. No Democratic ex-soldier, so
far as We are aware, has ever been ap-
pointed to Office under Republican rule,
while Gen. Longstreet and CO.. Mosby,
who was regarded as guerrilla during
the war, have been given distinguished
consideration. Not only have no Demo-
Gratis been given Office, but these who
were appointed to places during Mr..
Cleveland's term are being turned out as
fast as they can be reached. One of the
first acts of President Harrison was the
discharge of Democratic soldier who
was engaged in some capacity at the
White House. Some Democrats, whose
have been demanded, have
declined to hand them in and stood upon
their war record and their standing in
the G. A. r., but to no avail, for refusals
to resign are speedily followed by re-
movals.- Westminster Adrocate.

The Evils Of Office Seeking.

A Washington letter writer says
There is spirit OF desperation in the
persistency of the Office seeker whose stay.
ing qualities are so discouraged by the
presidents determined stand. On or abou,
the 4th of March. the coun'enauces Of the
men who thronged the hotel lobbits were
bright with the eEu.gence of victory and
the glow of hope; now the remnant that
remains, and even the left over from a
legion, presen, faces whereon are to bs
seen the lines of disappointment mingled
with those of patience and determination
Such are the men who are as faithful in
their attendance at the White House de-
partments as was little Miss Elite at the
court OF chancery. II was pitifu and
paieful sight. Four years ago the same
scenes were witnessed. Then as now
government officials were swept back
into the struggling tide of humanity all
to begin life over again, all to seek new
occupation. Filled are the gaps they may
have made when they resigned the GER
tain occuFa ion ard glorious ipdepen-
dence of professional business or sgricul-
tural life for the uncertain government
and quasi slavery which it in
wolves. The course of rotation in Office
and the greed for Office afflicts the cation
by preventing hundreds of thousands of
men from settling down to some occupa-
ton which would bring content to them
selves and quiet to the country. Instead
Of this being the case, there is seething
mass of place seekers, thinking of moth
ng but Office seeking.
