IT Is INDEED SURPRISING.

ing OF the ADVOCATES reference to the
advertisement of five farms in Lyon
county and seven homes in the city Of
Emporis at sherlff's sale, says:
In view Of the fact that Lyon is one Of the
populOus counties of the state, it is only
surprising that there are not more than
twelve persons in the county who failed to
meet their obligations.
We agree with the Traveller per-
fectly in the above statement. Under
a financial system which has caused
a shrinksge of tWo-thirds in all values
except that of gold, it is surprising
that more farms and homes are not
sacrificed than there really are.
But the Traveller oyerlooks one
very important fact. This batch Of
twelve has been ground out at a sim
gle term of court, and it must not be
forgotten that the mill continues to
grind. If the Traveller would keep
its eyes open and not permit itself to
be blinded by its party idolatry, it
would not fail to observe the constant
transfers of the homes of the people
to the money lenders.
The sales that take place in any
one month In any county would be of
little consequence, perhaps, if they
were limited to a single month, or to
the cases that are decided at a single
term of court; but when this process
goes on term after term and year
after year, he must be a fool who can
not see that the ultimate result will
be the landlord and tenant system of
Ireland transferred to Kansas in an
aggravated form.
We have the bar dockets of the
courts of several counties in the state
now before us. In some Of them
there are over 200 foreclosure cases
set for trial at single term Of court.
These are not in the western coun-
ties, either, where it is claimed lands
have been frsudulently mortgsged
with the intent Of abandoning them.
They include some Of the best coun-
ties in the state, and the property
mortgsged is not incumbered to any
thing near its value. Nor is it aban-
doned property. The foreclosure
suits IN these cases will be contested,
and the property will only be per-
mitted to be stolen after every posi-
BILE effort has been made to defend it.
These things are going on term
after term, and year after year, under
our vicious gold-bug system of
finance, and party blindness and
idolstry prevent many good people
from discovering what Is really tax
ing place.
On the 9th day Of June, 1890, the
committee on Judiciary of the United
States house of representatives sub
mitted a report to the house, a brief
extract from which may be of gen eral
interest in this connection. The re-
port says:
Your committee have sSoertained, with
reasonable certainty, that certain noblemen

MEN ON THE VAST POSSESSIONS OF THESE FOR
E1au LORDS, UNDER CONTRACTS MADE
AND ENTERED INTO BEFORE THEY
SAIL FOR OUR SHORES,
The avariOe and enterprise of European
capitalists have caused them to invest many
millions in American railroads and LAND
BONDS, covering, perhaps, 1O0,OOO,0O0 acres,
THE GREATER PART OF WHICH,
UDER FORECLOSURE SALES, WILL
MOST LIKELY, BEFORE MANY YEARS,
BECOME THE PROPERTY OF THESE
FOREIGN BONDHOLDERS, IN ADDI-
TION TO THEIR PRESENT PRINCELY
POSSESSIONS. Il is thus manifest that if
the present large alien ownership is an evil,
of which We have no doubt, the probabilities
Of the near future still more imperstiVely
demand legislation for It's prevention. This
aggressive foreign capital is not confined TO
lands it has purchased, but, overlapping its
boundaries, has caused hundreds Of miles of
the public domain to be fenced up for the
grazing of vast herds of cattle, AND SET AT
DEFIANCE THE RIGHTS OF THE HONEST BUT
HUMBLE SETTLER.
Speaking of the operation of the
proposed bill to prohibit further ac-
QUESTION of title to American lands,
the committee continues:
The bill does not stop at state lines, but
under authority of that clause Of the oonsti-
tuition which OonferS upon congress the sole
and exclusive right "to establish uniform
rule Of naturalization throughout the United
States" Overleaps them, and would, if en-
acted into law, prevent any more such
abuses as that of Mr.. Scully, who resides in
England and is a subject of the queen, but
owns $4,000 acres in the state of Illinois, o.
cupied by hundreds Of tenants, mostly ig-
norant foreigners, from whom he receives,
as rent, $500, 900 per annum, and expends it
in Europe. The SCheuley estate, consisting
Of about 1900 acres within the city limits Of
PistsburR and Allegheny, from the rents of
which the Sohenleys, who are subjects Of the
British queen, draw annually not less than
100000, is another instance Of alien land
lordism in America. Numerous others
could be cited. NO OTHER NATION IN
THE WORLD ALLOWS THE SUBJECTS
OF OTHER GOVERNMENTS TO AC-
QUIRE SUCH POSSESSIONS WITHIN
ITS JURISDICTION.
The tenth census shows that the United
States have $4,000 tenant farmers. THE
LARGEST NUMBER POSSESSED BY
ANY NATION IN THE WORLD, NOT
WITHSTANDING OUR POLICY OF CIV
ING HOMES TO ALL NATIVES AND
FFREIGNERS WHO HAVE DECLARED
THEIR INTENTION TO BECOME CITI-
ZENS.
This is not the language of q ''ca-
lamity howler;" it is the calm, dellb-
crate judgment of the house commit
tee on judiciary of the Fifty-first
congress. 1t is a statement of facts
that should excite genuine alarm in
the minds of all patriotic American
citizens, and it would were it not for
their party blindness.
1t will be observed that the COM
mittee states the number of tenant
farmers in the United States accord
ing to the tenth census as the largest
OF any country on the globe. The
eleventh census shows an immense
increase in the past decade. There is
not a single state IN the union where
q large increase has not taken place.

Cholera inf.,2tunn.

The board Of health recently issued
circular, printed in English, Italian,
Hebrew and Russian. IL regard TO
cholera infantum. After stating that
the disease is caused by bad milk, the
circular states the milk must be kept
fresh and that this can be done rs fol-
lows:
AS soon as the milk comes put it in
Il glass bottle: put the bottle in q llet-
tie with Il block of wood under it to
prevent the bottom coming in contact
with the kettle: put water enough in
the kettle to come half way up the
side of the bottle: Leaf the water as
hot as possible without boiling: then
take the kettle from the fire and cork
the bottle; let the bottle remain in the
kettle for half an hour: then put the
bottle in a cool place. This makes the
milk safe without boiling. If possible
use rubber stopple instead of a cork.
The bottle and stopplc must be cleansed
every day with boiling water

The instructive fear which cats have
of dogs is illustrated very amusingly
by stroling a dog and then caressing a
blind and newborn kitten with the

At once the kitten will spit and fluff
itself up in the most absurd way, dis
tinguishing the smell Of the beast
which experience has for generations
