DR.. Sherwood says that "it is impos-
sible that any one man could have forged
all the signatures in this case. Reavis
would have had to have forged over
200 Spanish documents and signatures.
No man could have done it. 1t is the
most improbable thing conceivable"
In the first place, the government has
never asserted that all these papers were
forged by one man; secondly, it is not
i'm possible at all that one man could have
forged them. 1t is not true that it was
necessary to have forged 200 Spanish
documents and signatures. The papers
of which Mr.. Reavis filed certified copies
in the court of private land claims we're
found in four seperate books in the
ayuntamiento at Guadalajara. These
four books and the book at the reglstro
publico contained the forged signatures
of but nine different persons. The sig
natures of two of them were forged five
times each. The remaining seven sigma
lures we're forged but once each, making
a total of seventeen forged signatures
This is all the foundation there is to the
assertion of the necessity of having for
ged 200 documents and signatures.
The statement that Reavis was not
given chance to prove his case at Sante
Fe is untrue. The hearing of the cast
was put off for one week in answer to {
telegram from him asking delay il
order that he might be present. 1t i!
true that he was not represented by coun
sci on the trial, his counsel having aban
doned the case when it came to thei
knowledge that it was fraud, and such
case as no honorable attorney could at
ford to associate himself with after hav
ing learned of it's true character. 1t Ii
true that he asked for a continuance
which was not allowed, the court seeing
no reason for granting his request.
The statement that he had never beef
served is untrue. Notice of the taking
of dispositions at Guadalajara, Mexico
was served on his counsel last October a
was also subsequently the notice of tn
taking of dispositions at Seville, Spain
and at various points in California
These matters are of record in the otfic
of the clerk OF the court of private lan'
claims.

sistencies found in them, and stated in
conclusion that their validity was very
doubtful.
These two Mexican officials are the
only Mexican officers who have ever
passed upon the genuineness and validity
of the Peralta papers, and the insinua-

them to be genuine, is without any

If Mrs. Reavis has relatives in San
Francisco, it is reasonable to suppose
that they knew something as to her par
entage, and might have been of material
assistance in establishing her connection
with the original grantee. However, none
of them appeared to assist her with their
testimony, and, 80 far az known, neither
she nor her husband has ever pretended
that she had any relatives living.
The Peraltas, who live in San Francisco
and in other parts of California, filed a
separate petition for the confirmation Of
the Peralta grant, and did not recognize
that Mrs. keavis had any interest therein.
A member of this family, Maria Antonio
Peralta, told government official in San
Francisco nearly two years ago that Mrs
Reavis was not a Peralta, but that she
was the daughter of an Indian woman
Subsequent investigation conducted by
Special Agent L. A. Hughes in the inter
est of the government showed this state
ment to be true, and the evidence to sup
port it was produced on the trial.

DR.. Sherwood says that he knows that
Treadway never pretended to be the
father OF the girl (meaning Mrs. Reavis).
If the doctor knows this he would have
been valuable witness, and it is a little
strange that plaintiffs did not call him as
such, in view of the fact that he and
Reavis have been upon good terms for
long time. The doctor certainly was not
afraid of being cross-examined as to his
connection with the case, was he? His
statement, that nobody ever supposed
that Treadway was the father of the girl,
is disproved by the numerous deposit
tions introduced in evidence by the gov
eminent on the trial of the case which
show that great many people supposed
and believed and knew that Treadway
was the father.

Predicts BIoodv Revolution.


The editoro of the London Echo makes
the following somewhat startling pre-
diction:
"The signs of the times indicate that
before the sun rises on June 1, 1900,
the great American nation viii grOan
and writhe in an agony Of revolution
and the streets will be slippery with
blood-a hundred drops of blood for
each gem that flashes on the necks Of
the rich and pampered women, and 10
drops of blood for each tear that has
washed the faces of the poor. Every
election is carried by fraud and DOODLE
Politics is so rotten that it stinks.
Everybody knows it and nobody cares.
America is no longer a republic. tt is
a plutocracy. The president is merely
the creation of the banks, or bank dir
ectors, railroad kings and coal barOns,
and it is the same with the governors
Of the states. The poor whine about
their poverty and guaw their crust of
bread, but can always be counted on to
vote for the rich and shoulder their
muskets and lay down their lives in
defense of the right of the rich to rob
them. a nation such as this, in which

Russian Thistls Dying Out.

4 Dakota exchange, in speaking Of
the Russian thistle, says:
It is reported from portions of the
Dakotas, where the Russian thistle first
made its appearance in this country,
that it is dying out, that where a few
years ago gigantic plants we're universal
last year they grew but three to four
inches high. This but confirms the
theory of some Of the ablest bOtonists
in the country, among them Prof. Lug
ger of the Minnesota experiment
station, which is to the effect that the
so-caIled Russian thistle belongs to a
family of plants that thrive only on
land possessing saline properties. and
when those properties are exhausted
the plant will not grow. The seao0ast
is the only place where this family Of
plants is permanent, and while they
may flourish on the the new lands Of
the west, which are more or less I'M
pTegnated with alkali, for a time their
duration VIII be measured by that Of
the salts Of the land.

TIE DESTRUCTION OF GRASS.
An Agricultural Department Bulletin on
This Important Subject.

An Agricultural Department Bulletin on
This Important Subject.
Considerable importance from an
agricultural standpoint attaches to a
circular on experimental grass gardens
which has just been issued as the first
publication of the agrOstology division
of the agricultural department. It dis
cusses general grass conditions in the
country and says: "The American has
been a grass killer everywhere. Our
native grasses and clOvers are being
driven out by a foreign species, and
the assertion is made that enough
money has been spent by American
farmers for worthless fodder plants
from foreign sources to more than pay
the expenses of the whole department
for one year." Voicing the sentiments
of Secretary Morton, the general grass
conditions in the country are summed
up as follows: "The amount of money
invested in the cattle industry is reck-
oned by the hundred million dollars
and every dollar Of that value is absO-
lutely dependent upon the question of
forage. Strip broad acres Of their
grasses and clovers, and instead of re-
ceiving millions Of dollars for the meat
products sent to foreign lands, we
would have to pay out money for them.
The cattle industry and the wool in
dustry are dependent upon the ques-
ton of grass. The native western
grasses are being rapidly driven out to
make way for the worthless weeds that
civilization and scanty cultivation
brings with them. Already the buffalo
grass and the mesquite have disappear
ed from a large section Of Kansas and
Nebraska. Acres that we're once Gov
cred with these most nutritious species
are now occupied by woody kinds, and
their value as pasture and hay lands is
constantly diminishing. Similar de-
struction of grasses has followed the
cultivation of cotton in the south and
of tobacco and hOed crops generally in
all sections of the country"
