cause of the Tremendous Undue Influence
of Said s. B. Elkins.
From the Colorado Workman.
When Secretary Noble refuses for q
solid year to answer an appeal taken
from Commissioner Croft, In 1890, in the
Maxwell grant case, this contemptuous
silence Is for a purpose, and that pur-
pose Is to shield Hon. s. B. Elkins.
1t was Steve Elklns who committed
the great crime in the Maxwell grant
case. After the lands claimed by the
Maxwell grant claimants had been for
three years thrown open to settlement
and entry as public lands by final order
Of the interior department, it was Steve
Elkins who, In 1877, bribed A. l. William
son, commissioner of the general land
Office, to arbitrarily and unlswfully sur
vey 100000 acres Of public land as the
Maxwell grant.
The settlers knew, Of course, that it
was almost q forlorn hope TO fight the
mighty Steve Elkins, but they have,
nevertheless, made the fight, and their
first great victory was achieved before
Commissioner Sparks In 1885. The set
tiers had petitiOned Secretary Lamar for
the enforcement Of the valid decision Of
Secretary Cox in 1869, that requires the
lands claimed by the Maxwell grant
claimants to be treated and surveyed as
public lands. The settlers took the CON-
mon sense position that as long as the
decision Of Secretary Cox was unre-
versed and valid the interior department
was bound by law 10 enforce that decision
and to protect the right Of settlers de-
pending upon 1t. This position of the
settlers was not disputed by the interior
department; and the only question was:

THE PURFST ROT,

party. VIII the Republican farmers Of Kansas
continue to pull out the chestnuts for the Demo
Gratis Of the sOuth?-CdpttGL
The above slush appears in the
same issue of the Capital containing
the program for the fusion of the two
old parties IN Kansas to hold the
judiciary of our state? It is q terri
bic thing for Republican farmers to
pull chestnuts for southern Demo-
Gratis, but their northern allies are re-
garded as a more harmless variety.
Unless we very much mistake the
temper and intelligence Of the people
of Kansas, it will be found that the
masses, both of Republican and
Democratic antecedents, will refuse to
pull chestnuts for the Demo Republi-

The Royal Baking Powder Condemned In

From the New York Press.
Last Monday Mr.. Kelly introduced the
following bill in the assembly. A care
ful reading Of it will show that 1t Is
very important one.
An Act to prevent the use Of poisonous
and Injurious ingredients In baking pow

WHEREAS, Baking powders manufact-
ured In this state, known as the "ROYAL"
alum and other Baking Powders are ad-
vertlsed for sale as absolutely pure; and,

Mexico public land thief Hon. s. B.
Elklns ia the silence Of Secretary Noble.
II Secretary Noble should break silence
he would be compelled to support the
"nugatory" position of Commissioner
Croft by tact and IaW. We know he cam
not do Il. We dare him to do it. Break
silence! you contemplate trickster and
evadeF, or resign, and let some secretary
take your place who will dare speak out
In spite Of Steve Elklns or any other un-
due influence. It is time this contempt-
uous silence trick, in the interest Of public
land thieves was played out.
The settlers further claim that, while
crime with which American statesmen
are connected, must as a general rule,
prosper In spite Of fate, that there ought
to be an exception In this particular case
on the ground of patriotism. The set
tiers put It sQuarely on that ground for
this reason: that the crime committed by
those two great American statesmen-El-
klns and Willl&mson--w such an out
rageously un-AmeriCan crime. For Hon.
s. b. Elkins to bribe Hon. Commissioner
Williamson to arbitrarily and unlawfully
survey nearly 100000 acres of public
land as the Maxwell land grant, and then,
for valuable consideration, turn over
this immense body Sof public land, with
It's hundreds of homestead and pre-
emption settlers, to foreign corporation,
Is, as you know, an un-American crime.
There is no 4th OF July in such crime
az that. It Is what the settlers call q
Benedict Arnold affair; selling out the
United States TO foreigners. To let such
an un-Amerlcan crime prosper makes
the claim somewhat inconsistent; that
it puts us In the light Of shooting fire.
crackers and sky rockets in honor OF the
noble resistance the fathers made to the
foreigners right while we are permitting
foreigners through such Benedict Ar
mold statesmen as Elklns and William
SON to steal public land in million acre
patches.
II, then, the American people regard
it as a patriotic duty to prevent such un-
American crime as that committed by
Elkins and Williamson in 1877 from pros
perIng, let them join with the settlers in
demanding Of Secretary Noble that the
Ualid decision Of Secretary Cox in 1869,
that requires the land claimed by the
Maxwell grant claimants to be treated as
public lands, be enforced, and the rights
of settlers acquired under that authorita
tive decision protected.

HOW 1T Is GOING TO PIECES.

The Industrial Educator of Fort
Scott, Texas, in its account of the great
Alliance X. of L. encampment at
Sulphur Springs on July 9th, says:
The crowds of people were variOusly estimated
at from 5000 to 1900 and they were there for
business too. They wee first class listeners.
By the way, they subscribed for our paper and
bought our labor literature. There won't be
enough Democrats left to klndle fire with on
November 4, 'O2. 1t was glorious. The oldest
settlers said they never saw the like.

years that it has been published il
has made many warm friends. The
numerous letters of encouragement
and commendation we receive leave
no room for doubt upon this subject
At the close of this second year oi
earnest labor in the interest OF the
people, we desire to impress upon the
minds of our friends the importance
of still further enlarging the sphere
of our influence; and, to put the mat
ter in still another light, the. i'm
portance of so sustaining us that un-
der no possible contingency can we
be driven from our field of labor.
We are aware that, as a rule, our peo-
pie are not in sflluent circumstances;
but we believe that every member OF
our party in Kansas is fully aware OF
the power of The ADVOCATE, and that
it is Justly entitled to liberal share
of the credit for the triumphs al
ready won; and, knowing this, they
would regret to see its influence in
any way diminished. The success
hoped for in the future depends more
upon the reform press than upon any
other single instrumentality In this
we speak not for THE ADVOCATE alone.
We are proud of our reform press
and of the harmony and entire ab.
sence of rivalry or jealousy that pre-
walls among the fraternity. Our
people will commit the most fatal
mistake possible to be made if they
suffer these papers, established in
the interest of the masses, to lsnguish
for want Of support. 1t will be found
impossible to replace them if they
are permitted to die.
1t must further be remembered
that the amount of good they may
do depends entirely upon the extent
of their circulation. The best paper
in America, if it fails to reach the
people, is powerless, while one far in
ferior, but with an extensive patron
age, will exert an incslculable infu-
enCe. This is a question that does
not concern the publishers alone It
concerns the entire mass of our peo-
pie. We have organized for certain
specific and we'll defined purposes.
We have certain instrumentalities by
which those purposes must be accom-
plished. Among these, none are
more potent than the press. All of
the essential instrumentalities in our
work must be sustained, or the OBJ
jects of our organization must fail.
Every member therefore should have
a personal interest and a personal
pride in this matter. We frequently
hear the remark, 81 would like to
take your paper, but l am already
taking so many that I cannot afford
it." What papers are you taking,

Sparks reported that It was as follows:
The decision o ( the secretary in 1869, that
the claim under the COnRrmatOry act of
Congress was limited to twenty-five leagues,
had become final under the rules governing
the practice of this department in its ad-
ministratiOn of the laws. The refusal Of
Mr.. Secretary DelanO to review il rendered
that decision as to this case res judiCNta so
far as executive action was concerned.
This was the settlers great victory;
they had now an authoritative announce
ment that the decision OF Secretary Cox
was unreversed and valid.
The next question was, now that Com
missioner Sparks he's admitted the vSlidi-
ty of the decision of Secretary Cox, will
that valid decision be enforced? The
settlers soon found that the interior de-
partment was determined not to enforce
that valid decision. Stsve Elkins, who
failed In his efforts to blind and mislead
Commissioner Sparks, succeeded better
up in the secretary's law office, He got
in his work there and stopped the en-
forcement of Secretary Cox's valid de-
dision.
The settlers had reason to expect bet
ter things than this from a Democratic
administration. They had actually
thought that a Democratic admlnlstra-
ton would take great pleasure in giving
the great Steve B. an awful black eye.
Here was the chance. Commissioner
Sparks reports the decision of Secretary
Cox to be valid. Now let Secretary La
mar order the enforcement of that valid
decision, and the crime of Elklns in
brlbing Commissioner Williamson to
violate it will come to the front, and
down will go the great Elklns, struck by
Democratic club in the hands Of Secre-
tary Lamar. But Lamar did not strike;
he evaded the enforcement of the valid
decision of Secretary Cox; and hence the
opportunity of the Democratic party to
down Elkins was "like q snowflake on
the rivera moment bright, then lost
forever"
The settlers, however, have kept up the
fight against Elkins ever since. They
stick right to their simple point point
no one dares to dlspute-that the interior
department is bound in law to enforce
the valid decision Of Secretary Cox that
requires the lands claimed by the Max
we'll grant claimants to be treated as
public land. So, only last summer, the
settlers respectfully requested Commits
sioner Croft to have enforced Secretary
Cox's valid decision. The commissioner
replies, In the interest OF the mighty
Stephen B. as follows:
The decision Of Secretary Cox in 1869 was
rendered nugatory by successive action
This, then, begins the fight dc nOUO. 1t
is an admission that the secretary'S de-
cision should be enforced until It Is rem
dered 'nugatory.' How encouraging this
is! How encouraging, too, to have Com
missioner Croft give Commissioner
Sparks report Of 1886 the lie! That brings
politics into the matter; Il freehens up
the poor old maxwell Grant CaSe;" puts,
as It were, new life into il; life OF the

ANOTHER crying evil in our
streets is the cruelty of drivers to
the animals in their charge. To
tear and jerk at the mouths of
dumb beasts with the whole
strength of a mans arm is not in
frequently used as a punishment
because the poor brute fails to un-
derstand the commands of his mas
ter, very frequently through the
clumsiness of the latter. To back a
heavy dray exactly against the
particular spot desired by the dri-
yer, or to back the dray down a
passage only just wide enough, re-
quires both tact and patience on
the part of the driver, and to him
who possesses these faculties and
knows his business as well, the ut
most power and goodwill of their
animals is assured. Another STYLE
of cruelty is the fully loading or
over loading q cart or dray while
1t stands at the bottom of an in
cline, deep perhaps in mud or clay
from an excavation, and then fog
the animals till they struggle up
onto the road, or fall exhausted in
the attempt. Speaking of the latter
piece OF cruelty, forcing an over
loaded team to move a heavy dray
out of a hole, it is creditably re-
ported that there are certain dri-
vers here who have been seen to
pour sand into the ears of their
horses to stimulate them by torture
to unnatural effort.
Here is another chance for the
police.

English Opinion.

Regarding the trouble between
Italy and the United States, the
London telegraph dispatches Of
April Sd, give the following opin-
ions of the press:
Current opinion here is setting
more steadily against the action OF
the Marquis Di Rudini in trying to
force the hands of Mr.. Blaine in
the matter of the lynching of the
Italians in New Orleans. To-mor-
rows leading high-class weeklies
will devote considerable attention
to an analysis of the position, and
generally discuss the affair from
the standpoint of the United States
Constitution. The Spectator holds
that 'serious-thinkiDg Americans
will admit the imperfection of the
Constitution, and are bound to
remedy the defect; all the more
because there is small chance of
their being compelled to remedy
it."
Touching the talk of war, the
Spectator ridlcules the notion Of
Italy declaring war against one of
the greatest powers in the world.
GA power capable within six
months of buying and building
feet that would block every port
of Italy. American ingenuity would
be so stimulated to Guido itself that
it would turn every steamer that
could float into an improvised iron
clad"
The Economist says: Marquis
di RudIni and his Government are
in a cul-de-sac. They cannot sit
still, they cannot fight and they
cannot obtain the redress they
want without fighting. Italy's
allies will never permit her to risk
a war that would disturb Euro
pean combinations. The United
States holds the exceptional posi-
ton that it cannot be conquered
by any power or probable combi-
nation of powers, even if all
Europe was allied and made the

THERE is a Hawaiian daily sheet
here which unfortunately persists
in printing one page of its imperti-
nences in English. We say "unfor-
tunately" because by a stray
chance some respectable person,
perhaps even a lady, may be so
unfortunate as to meet with this
sheet. We would recommend the
person who writes or Indites the
page in question to disguise it for
decency's sake, henceforth in the
Fuegian language or some other
accessible only to those who de-
serve the penalty of contact with
such nauseous stuff.
As it is scarcely possible that the
print referred to can be honestly
earning its own living, it becomes
incumbent on those who contribute
TO the support of such disgrace,
to consider how far they them
selves are implicated in the dis

PERSONS who exercise the faculty
of observation have noticed in and
about Honolulu lately, more parti-
cularly about the suburban roads,
an unusual number of strange-look-
ing il-favored Cinnamon. These
seem to be in some way different
from either the indoor workers of
the city, or the ricefeld or taro-
patch workers of the neighborhood
and look as if everything were
comparatively strange to them.
They appear to have nothing to
do, but to lean against garden
fences and scrutinize the doors and
windows of the dwelling houses,
the whereabouts of the chicken
houses, and the apparent condition
of the poultry yard. Several
chicken robberies have taken
place lately in houses occu-
pied frequently by unprotected
females, in one case accompanied
by entry into and robbery from the
house.

leaning towards republican con-

a republic only in name and in the

The time will probably come, per

Australia will be democratic
federation, practically a republic
with monarchical veneer. 'The
Australians have copied the Con-
stitution of the United States,
avoiding its defects and evils. A

SCENE AT IQUIQUE, CHILE.
Seizure of the Port by the

Rebels.
PANAMA, March 24.-- Her Males
TVS ship Warspite is at Callao'
The following is CLEANED from her
officers:
We left Iquique February 20,
subsequent to the different events
which led to the capture of that
port by the rebels and the fire
which caused the destruction of
property valued at 100000.
1t appears that when the rebels
captured the port the Government
troops took up position some dis
lance from it. The rebels returned
on board, leaving only fifty men in
charge. The troops soon heard of
this, and marched on the place 200
strong under Colonel Soto.
Firing commenced and the
shore fusillade led ships TO prompt
ly open fire. The Blanca. EncaIada,
ESmerala and Huascar used heavy
guns, while the transports kept
mitraileuses busily employed. Ire
mendous destruction followed, and
the flames spread until the whole
central part of Iquique, where the
best stores and buildings where sit
uated, was in ruins.
The fight, which resulted in
the fire, was a stern and bloody
tragedy, and 1t would have been
more prolonged had it not been for
the arrangements reached by the
chiefs of the two parties, and un-
der which the opposition leaders
engaged to pay Colonel Soto S1O,-
600 to deliver those among his men
who were then to join the rebels.
The Government troops abandoned
their arms and soon dispersed.
subsequently Soto was arrested
and sent on board the Amazonas,
accused of having distributed only
$1,000 among the men and having
retained the remaining $4,000,
