Scarcity OF Public Lands.

1t is not many years since it was our
boast-and not vain one, at that that
Uncle Sam was rich enough to give us
all farm" 1t was not until the Re-
publican party in Congress had given
away to corporations the public lands by
millions of acres that intending settlers
commenced to find it difficult to find in
the nations domain home which had
been so easy to acquire before the days
of corporation land-grabbing set in. Had
the public land been carefully preserved
for actual settlers, there was enough of it
to last for another century: but the Law
ish grants soon covered the best available
lands in the western country, and now it
is as difficult to get home in the west
worth having as it is to find government
land in some of the old States. The
great scarcity of public lands is evidenced
by the rush to Oklahoma of one hundred
thousand people to obtain claims in a
territory that will not more than furnish
quarter sections for one-tenth that num-
ber. The opening of that tract to settle
ment and the eagerness with which peo-
pie are docking there marks the new era
upon which we have entered, and sepa-
rates the period when Uncle Sam had
homes for all from the one in which he
can only offer his landless children claim
on barren mountains or on arid plains.
By immigration and the natural in
crease of population, we have reached
the time when the United States may be
considered to be humanity stocked. AS
long as we had vast tracts of vacant
lands to give to actual settlers, the policy
of encouraging European immigration
was a wise and beneficial one. But
now that the Government has parted
with its lands, and that we have the
basis of an enormously dense population |
in the next century by the law of natural
increase, the question is forced upon our
consideration whether we ought not to |
adopt different policy. The United |
States law prohibiting labor contracts in
foreign countries is approved by all ex-
cepting the great corporations, which |
desire to retain a check upon strikes
and the power of lowering the rate Of
their employees wages at will. There is
no doubt, however, that this law is con-
stantly violated by indirection, and that
it has exercised but very limited inhu-

An American "Rippcr.-

MOBILE, Ala, April 15.-Oaptain Jones
of the schooner Arthur arrived to-day
from the Bay Islands and reports that at
Ruatan, last month, Rev. Henry Hobson,
his wife and her companion, "a young girl,
all natives OF Jamaica. were murdered by
Joseph Bures. Bures discovering that
Mrs. Hobson had money, entered the
house at night and cut the throats of all
the three. He robbed them of what
money and valuables they possessed.
Next day Bures was arrested and made
a confession of his guilt. The Captain
says that the butchery of the three per-
sons and the mutilated bodies of both
women bore strong resemblance to the
murders committed by the Whitschapsl
murderer in England.

FINDLAY, o., April 15.-The family Of
@. H. Perkins, living in jackson town
ship in this county, had remarkable
experience during the thunderstorm of
yesterday. A bolt of lightning struck
the family residence, tearing away the
tin roof with the cornice. and then de-
seended by pipe to the kitchen. Here
it knocked down the furniture and threw
dog, which was sleeping by the stove,
so violently against the stone wall
of the apartment that it was
killed. The servant girl, who was stand
ing by the stove, was stunned and
shocked so severely that she is net ex-
pected to recover. Mrs. Perkins and
babe, who were also in the room. escaped
without injury. In front Of the house
was the hired man with team of horses.
The team ran away, throwing the man
from the wagon and severely iniuring
him. Perkins was out in the garden
when the bolt struck the house. He was
SO severely stunned that he did not re-
cover consciousness for an hour. The
house caught fire from the overturned
stove, but the heavy rain soon ex-
tinguished the flames before much dam
age was done.

THE German press seems to be very
hard to please as to the personnel of tn e
American Commission to the Berlin con-
ference. They object to Bates and to
Sewall, probably Oh the ground that these
gentlemen know something about the
merits of the questions at issue. The
Cologne Gazette says that the appoint
ment of Bates and the attaching of
Eewall to the Commission make an
amicable result of the conference very un-
likely. This probably means that Bis
naarck is prepared to enact the role of
ssI'll take the turkey and you take the
buzxard, or you'll take the buzzard and
IN take the turkey" This is very much
like the Iron ChanceIlor's diplomacy,
but we doubt very much if the American
members of the Conference will relish it
any more than did the In
dian in the story. Bismarck has
lately made England a present of
Demaraland, region one hundred thou
sand square miles in extent, fronting on
the African Coast. OF course Germany
had rs much right to this territory as
that country has to the moon, but 1t is
supposed to have been done to insure
English support of Germany's demands.
If Great Britain sides with Bismarck in
the controversy, she will do 30 against
the loudly expressed sympathy with the
United States of British subjects, both in
Samoa and Australia.

Am Improved steel Process.

Troy, NY, April 15.-The Troy Steel
and Iron Company has completed the
experiment of making soft steel under
process invented by G. w. Bildt, Chief
Chemist for Washburn & Moen, of
Worcester, Mass. The experiment was
success. This quality of steel has
heretofore been imported from Germany.
The question of the cost of manufacture
is to be determined, to ascertain if the
steel can be made here to compete with
the imported article.

WE TAKE the following extract from a
letter received by Skidmore & Smith,
of this city, from Howell & Craig, inn
porters and wholesale grocers, of Los
Angeles: "The Genesee Valley Corn
Company, of Clyde, New York, have for
warded us, for distribution, some seed
corn. which they desire tested by some
intelligent farmer. If this corn should
prove a success, they will erect cam
merry w Accompanying the letter
were several packages of the Evergreen
and Hickak variety of sweet corn, said
to be the best known to the canning
trade. Messrs. 7. ]. Kerns & Standlee
have taken quantity of the seed and
have agreed to give it fair trial. As
other varieties of corn yield bountifully
here, we have no fears for the result of
ern firms are looking this way, and
possibilities of this section, they will not
be long in taking advantage of the busi-
ness opportunities now open to them.-
[Downey Champion.
Our contemporary is probably right in
assuming that these varieties of corn will
grow in Los Angeles county, as every spe-
cies which has been tried has done hereto
fore. But there is far better business
than canning corn. With little care,
roasting ears can be ready for the mar
ket in all the winter months, and they
ought to be grown and shipped
in immense quantities to the East,
Roasting ears would bring fabulous prices
in the markets of New York and Chi
cago at Christmas and New Years. An
occasional visitation of frost would inter-
fere with the crops, but in most years no
drawback would be encountered. Spring
lamb, green peas, tomatoes and Spring
potatoes ought also to be shipped in i'm
mense quantities to the East during the
winter months. Some day we will real
ize what can be done in this country
and start in to doing it.

Uncle Sam Does Not Allow Double
Salary to Soldier When
He is a Diplomat.
Associated Press Dispatches to the HERALD. |

| Associated Press Dispatches to the HERALD.l
WASHINGTON, April 15.-An opinion
was rendered by the Supreme Court of
the United States to-day in the case of
Adam Badeau, appellant, vs. the United
States. This was suit brought by
Badeau in the Court of Claims for pay as
a retired Captain in the army from April
28, 1870, to September Is, 1881, dur
ing which time he was Consul General
to London; and from November %,
1882, up to the date of the
fling of the suit, during which
he was Consul General at Ravenna.
The United States fled cou nterclaim,
stating that Badeau was indebted to the
United States for money erroneously
paid him as an army officer for portions
of the period from December 81, 1869, to
October 81, 1881. The Court of Claims,
by a divided court, dismissed both
claims. The Supreme Court holds that
General Badeau. while drawing salary
as Consul General, was expressly in
hibited from receiving any additional
compensation for discharging the
duties of any other office. 1t
is true, the Court says, that
it has been decided that person holding
two offices of employment under the
Government, when the services rendered,
or which might be required of him,
were not incompati ole, is not precluded
from receiving the salary or compensa-
ton of both, but the Treasury Depart
ment did not apparently regard this case
as falling within that exception, and the
Court agrees with that conclusion. 1t is
held, though, under the act of 1876, that
certain army officers may hold dip
lomatic or consular appointments with
out being held to thereby re-
sign their places in the army.
This does not entitle them to pay as
army officers when they are absent from
their country in discharge of continuous
official duties, consistent with subjection
to military rules. Such officers, though
they may still be borne on the retired
list, cannot receive double compensation.
The court also refuses to disturb the
judgment of the Court of Claims adverse
to the counter claim of the United States.
If he was not an officer in law, he was
serving as such in faith, and no reason is
seen why he sould be required to return
what was paid him while he was dis
charging his duty as an army officer. The
opinion is by Chief Justice Fuller.

ence in checking the great food of inn
migration, especially from eastern and
southern Europe. The number of
arrivals of the piebald populations of
eastern Europe at Castle Garden has
been steadily increasing, and the result
of this enormous influx is especially felt
in the large cities by the overcrowding
of certain quarters and the falling off of
wages to the European starvation stand
ard. The policy of encouraging immi-
grafton under these circumstances is one
upon which there can hardly be two
opinions.
The eyes of the whole country will be
turned in the next few days to the events
transpiring in Oklahoma. 1t will be a
spectacle for a country which for cen.
tury has had so much land to give to set
tiers that whole Territories filed up in a
gradual and orderly manner. 1t will
cause rejecting people to consider
whether it is for the best to continue cur
present policy of keeping our gates wide
open to the homeless hordes of Europe,
when our own people already here are
more than sufficient to stock the country
and to insure a dense population in the
near future.
The United States adopted the policy
of encouraging immigration when they
were young, and required people to settle
upon their vast unoccupied lands. 1t
was for the benefit of the country then,
and everybody was in favor of it. The
only question to be considered now is
whether a continuation of that policy
after the reasons for it have ceased to
exist, and with the certainty before us
that we shall have as dense a population
in another century as we ought to have,
is the best for the country. If it is not,
it should be changed, and more re.
strictive policy adopted. The policy was
adopted for the benefit of the country; il
should be abandoned Or changed when
1t is believed to work ipjuriously.

THERE is nice war now going on be-
tween the two morning Republican
papers. The Tribune discovered an ex-
tensive secret movement on foot to revo-
lutionize and capture Lower California.
The Times followed the matter up and
declares the report "fake," got up by
certain parties to give the Tribune a
SILL" One would like to know what
there is in Lower California to induce
the risk and loss that would necessarily
be encountered to capture it from Mexico.
1t is not likely that the American Gov
ernment would be passive under another
attempt of her citizens to filibuster the
Peninsula. We opine that an expedi-
tion from this State to capture Lower Cal
ifornia would find itself in worse fix
than Walker found himself there with
his filibusters in 1858. They would
probably meet with the fate of Henry A.
Crabb's expedition to capture Sonora,
and the massacre of Cavorca might be
repeated on a larger scale at San Rafaela
or Todos Los Santos. The days of fill.
clustering have passed. This country
will never permit its citizens to seize
neighboring territory at their own sweet
will. If Col. Mulkey or any other man
should lead hostile expedition into
Lower California, it would soon find it.
self in trap. United States troop:
would hem it in at the Tia Juana bound.
ary American ships would blockade il
along the coast, and Mexican troops
would be poured in upon the Peninsuls
from Sonora and Sinalos. We are dis.
posed to believe that there are not enough
fools and lunatics to be found to join SC
senseless an expedition, and rather side
with the Times in the conclusion that
the credulity OF the Tribune has been
imposed upon.
