Chicago Pretty Full of Them and Cantons
Continually Arriving.
CHICAGO, Aug. 5. military pomp and
martial air and the clanking of sword and
SAILOR gave the hotel offices and corridors
yesterday an appearance that easily car
ried the mind of the old inhabitant back
TO the time when the flower and chivalry
of the northwest stopped here on their
way to the front during the late war. Can
tons of the military order of Odd Fellows
were arriving on every train. The can
tons that arrived Sunday were largely in
creased yesterday but the great body of
Patriachs was not expected to arrive I'M
I'll to-day and tomorrow. The most no.
table arrival during the day was the con-
solidated regiment from New England,
which came in over the Nickel Plate, 475
strong in a special train of parlor
coaches reaching the city at noon.
Meeting of the Military Council.
At the session of the military council at
the Auditorium hotel yesterday, nearly
100 officers were present. The council was
opened by Gen Underwood delivering his
annual address. He congratulated the
order upon its wonderful growth and pr os-
perity. IL had made such remarkable
progress, he said. that should it continue
for three years as it had in the last year,
the Patriarchs Militant would be one of
the most powerful military bodies of any
civic organization in the world
Other Incidents of the Day.
The formal opening of the cantonment
was performed in Lake Front park at $40
p m, when three Patriarchs each hoisted
a flag-the national ensign, the flag Of
Patriarchs Militant and the Canadian en-
sign. The flags were hoisted TO the strains
of 1.-THE Star Spangled Banner"

DEMOCRATIC TICKET.
A Case or Inconsistency.

Dubuque Telegraph.
We observe with regret that the Irish
World OF New York, defends the Lodge
election bill and advocates its enactment.
If the British government should propose
such measure with view to its special
application to parliamentary elections in
Ireland. the World would make the well
kin ring With its strident protests. 1t
would appeal to the civilized world to
candemn the contem plated outrage.
Armed with the power which bill like
Mr.. Lodges would give it, the tory gov
eminent could easily defeat the home
rulers even in counties and boroughs in
which the latter are largely In the major,
ity. A Parnellite. no matter how many
votes had been cast for him OF how few
for his competitor. could not take his
seat in the house of commons
unless the dominant party chose
to permit him. The elections would be
under the control of tory officers app
pointed by tory courts, and whenever q
tory parliamentary candidate lacked a
majority q tory returning board would
count one for him. And the clerk of
the house would have TO place on the roll
of members the names of the candidates
thus returned as elected, or incur heavy
penalties. Under such system the
tories. although they poll few votes in
Munster, Leinster and Connaught. and
less than half the vote cast in Ulster,
would have large majority of the Irish
representation in the popular branch of
parliament. Having the power to do SO,
they would count in whoever they pleased
IA mi huf
fOurths of the people of Ireland demand
home rule, yet with this election system
In operation, they would be nominslly
represented in the legislative body by a
delegation more than three-fourths OF
whom would oppose home rule.
Copious as it is the English language
does not supply explosives enough to en-.
able the world to express the indignation
1t would feelif Balfour should propose to
regulate parliamentary elections in Ire
land as Mr.. Lodge proposes TO regulate
congressional elections in the southern
states. The World would TEEN with bills
teriHg denunciations of him and his
measure. and history could be ransacked
for tyrants and tyrsnnous edicts to which
TO compare the secretary and his BILL We
should be told that the most heartiess au>
tocrst that ever misruled and oppressed
people had never ordained any thing
more Infamous. Yet what it would most
vehemently inveigh against if proposed
for use in Ireland. it most cordially rec
ommends for use in the free states of the
south.
In becoming a mere partisan republi.
can organ the World has forfeited the in
dependence of thought and expression
which formerly constituted it chief
charm. 1t is to be hoped that its present
policy has not also diminished its ability
to render substantial service to the Irish
patriots.

A Field Day Tor OratOrioal Attack and
Defense.
The trouble began in the house as soon
as the session was convened. The speaker
was absent and Payson occupied the chair
Rogers of Arkansas began with COM
plant that Speaker Reed had on several
then proceeded with, If anything, a more
bitter attack on Reed than that of Bynum.
He intimated his belief that the speakers
head contained more call than brains,
and said he had bulldozsd the house. 1t
was suggested by Republican that bs
would be good man in the south, when
Rogers retorted that he would not bull
doze in Arkansas, whereupon Allen of
Michigan said: "They kill such people
down there" Rogers concluded by saying
to the speaker that the people cursed and
despised him.
Henderson of Iowa Talks.
Henderson of Iowa defended the speaker
and contended that Rogers had a long
way up to reach before he would attain
the altitude of the man he attacked He
then went on to tell what the house had
done in the way of legislation, and in this
connection said 1t had passed an election
bill-an election bill and not a force bill,
as Its enemies took pleasure in calling it.
1t sought to gag the right of no citizen, or
to do no citizen, north or south any
wrong. 1t simply provided that every
man, black or white, strong or weak,
rich or poor, should be SAFE under the
nag Of his country, to exercise the funda-
mental powers of an American citizen.
[Applause
Breckenridge Makes an Appeal.
Breckenridge of Kentucky then took the
floor, and after denouncing the election
bill as infamous and ubiquitous, and prac-
tically declaring that 1t could not be en-.
forced in the south, proceeded to invite the
people OF the north to help build up the
south. to help "us dig our mines, bridge
our rivers, tunnel our mountains, endow
our schools. make our colleges prosperous

have considered the above entitled case and
register In regard thereto.
This Is an action brought by the United States
to set aside the claims of twelve entrymen in
Skagit county some six years after the entries
were made and final receipt issued. These
claims, it appears, were sold by the entrymen TO
one Bailey and afterwards by him to Russell A.
Aiger and Ravaud K. Hawiey who are now the
present owners thereof.
There are no attempts on the part of the gov
eminent to charge the present owners of the
land with fraud, nor are there any grounds or
suspicion thereof Swallowed forth In the evi.
dence. In my opinion they stand in the case an
bona ide purchasers. and are entitled to protec-
ton such.
The section of the act of June 8. 1875 under
which said entries were made expressly pro-
vides that IF any person shall swear falsely
he shall forfeit the money which he
may have paid for said lands and all right and
titles TO the same. and any grant or conveyance
which he may have made. except in the hands
OF bona nde purchasers shall be null and
void"
Taking the fall context of the act and constru-
Ing the different parts together, / am unable to
come 70 any conclusion that all persons who are
bona hde purchasers are not protected by the
express terms OF the act The purchasers in
This instance are owners in good faith OF the
land. and should be protected Further, the
jurisdiction of the land office OF such cases is
limited solely to questions of fraud aud mistake
The question of fraud is solely limited in
these cases to the entering of agricultural lands
under the timber act. The testimony OF the
parties on the question is at variance and it is,
In my opinion. still an open question as to
whether the original entrymen swore falsely to
their proofs in entering these lands The bur-
den Of proof Is on the government in all cases,
and the agricultural qualities of the land mu ST
be shown unequivoc1lly.
Another question which was raised by coun-
sci for the ,rsnsierees, which in my view of the
law disposes of the case, is: when a final Ger.
tificaie for patent issues the jurisdiction of
the land department ceases The ent.yman has

only be Invested through proper Judicial pro-
