THE HOMESTEAD LAW.

A bill has been introduced in the
lower house of congress to reduce
the time required for the securing of
homestead patents from five to three
years. 1t Is not likely that such u
bill will ever become n law, unless
the previous policy Of the govern
ment is entirely reversed. 1t was
the intention of the original home
stead law to give opportunity to
bona fide settlers to secure homes,
and to make 1t as difficult as possible
for spectators to secure any portion
of the public domain.
To the bona fidc settler the length
of time required in securing the title
to his land makes comparatively
little difference, as he has all the
rights of possession and obtains all
the profits from the cultivation of
the same. II is very certain that
the reduction of the time required to
three years will give n great advan-
tage to the speculator as against the
settler, and would result in the
more speedy aggregation of these
lands In the hands OF capitalists.

sparks upon dry tinder, and, in our
Judgment, tended to prolong rather
than shorten the negro problem.
Much, however, may he advanced
In mitigation, If not justification of
Grady's course. The education of
environment is difficult to over
come. The bright and ambitious
orator or writer Is always strongly
tempted to give to his hearers that
which they will applaud the loud
est. Henry Grady quickly detected
the preferences of his auditors, and
the more he gave the greater became
the demand. The surprising fea-
turc of the case was the audaclous
candor with which he advanced his
southern ideas upon northern soil.
Grady may be credited with a
sincere desire to advance the ma
terial welfare of the negroes In the
South. But his brilliant mind
failed to grasp the great truth that
the freedman can never be protected
in his property rights until his vote
at the polls shall count for just as
much as that of the white man.
He was also blind to the fact that
the true interest of the whites would
be advanced by the protection of the
negro in the casting of his ballot.

THE WEATHER BUREAU.

A great deal of thoughtless ridi-
cule has been cast upon the work of
the signal corps. In general this
criticism has been most unjust, and
Is about on a par with most of the
fiippant remarks that are made by
ignorant or inconsiderate people
about other realms of science
and industry whose aims and
achievements they are totally un-
able to understand. Science says
that the efforts of this branch of the
government have been Of great prac-
tical benefit, and that its efficiency
is steadily increasing with expert
ence. The governments of the world
have been quick to detect the ad-
vantages flowing from It's work,
with the result that every important
country in Europe has such a SER
vice, and instead of discournging its
efforts encourages them with both
financial aid and warm approval of
their labors. And among the differ
ent corps of the world none stand so
high as that Of the United States.
Perhaps the service upon the Pa
ciflc coast has not been so produc-
tive OF beneficial results rs that
farther east. This, however, is
natural and should be expected.
The stations are located at remote
distances, and hitherto the means Of
collecting and disseminating in
formation have been meager. ..These
disadvantages, however, are rapidly

HENRY GRADY.

In the death Of Henry Grady the
South loses one of it's brightest
lights, and perhaps its most jealous
and eloquent advocate. Mr.. Grady
reasoned from the position that the
negro's welfare could best be ad-
vanced by a policy of non-interfer-
ence upon the part of the North.
Time, ho claimed, would solve the
perplcXing negro question. He was
willing to allow the negro the privl-
legc OF the ballot, 20 long as that
privilege was exercised within cer-
tain bounds. But upon one point
he was relen tless-the negro must
not be allowed TO exert a controlling
influence In politics. The whites
We're to run the machine, and the
principle of majority rule was to be
subordinated to that position. For
instance, in a county having 1000
blacks and 1000 whites, the latter
Were to rule, regardless OF the wishes
of the former, because the blood of
the Anglo-Saxon was not to be
otticercd by servile and inferior
race.
This bold claim, uttered
and sustained by man
of Mr.. Grady's ability and influ-
ence, was, beyond a shadow of
doubt, responsible for the greater
part of the recent election outrages
throughout the South. His utter
ances, full Of oloquence and fire,
falling upon minds long biased by
race hatred, and often ignorant, were

THE POWERS OF EUROPE.

A strange phase of modern clvlli-
zation Is found In the warlike attl-
tude of the countries of Europe.
The education and liberalism Of a
thousand years have left no mark
upon this impervious characteristic
of nations. Their statesmen profess
n love for peace, but standing ar
mics belle their sincerity, and we
know that the danger of war Is just
as mcnacing to-day as it was in tho
days of the Caesars.
Capitalization of power Is the in
evitablc tendency of this attitude of
armed defense, ny Bismarck, Crlspl
and other prime ministers prefer to
style their position. Beneath the
terrible burden of standing armies
the larger powers are groaning,
while the smaller ones are tottering
to fall. The latter can not long
endure the killing strain, and un-
less the signs of the times are
wholly false, we may ere long look
for many changes In the map of
Europe.
A cablcgram to the REVIEW this
morning informs the reader that the
finances of Bulgaria show large
deficiency In the budget, and that
Stan,buloff, speaking for the gov
ernment, admitted the absence of o
prospect of any reduction in the
military expenditures. This Is the
diplomatic way of admitting that
Bulgaria dare not relinquish her
watchfulness and measures of de-
fcnse, lest her autonomy be sacri-
feed upon the altar of ambition and
greed, and her territory be parti-
toned among the surrounding
powers. She can not forever endure
this killing pace. Eventually, un-
less Europe should agree to general
disarmament, she must go to the
wall. Peace with her and all the
other lesser lights of Europe is more
perilous than war. In the event of
