ments in keeping with the tastes and station
of his family. His object In taking this step
Is to enable him to purchase more land. The
legislatures Of Illinois, Missouri and Kansas
have all passed laws prohibiting an alien from
acquiring real estate. HIS agents spent last
year and portion Of this year in Missouri,
where they bought thousands OF acres, but
were checked by the adoption Of measure
by the legislature He owns nearly one whole
county in Kansas, and more in Nebraska.
Is it matter of any consequence to
the American people whether Lord
Scully is British subject or an Amer
lean citizen, so far as the effect Of his
monopoly of land is concernedP win
the landlord and tenant system become
benign and desirable institution
when he secures his naturalization pa
persp The evil lies in the monopoly of
land, and not in the nationality of the
monopolist. 1t was short-sighted leg
islstion that simply provided against
alien ownership of land. The legal
right of any person to acquire title to
large bodies of land, and thereby pro-
hibit its occupancy and use except by
payment of rent, is an outrage that
will not be tolerated in this country
many years longer. There is a rapidly
growing sentiment everywhere against
it. Lord Scully, by taking out nstur
alization papers, may be enabled to &C.
quire more land for the time being, but
he will find eventually that he will only
have so much more to get rid of upon
such terms as may be hereafter pro-
vided, and these terms may not be al
together as he would desire them.

among the people, it is doubtful
whether public sentiment would bring
enough pressure to bear on the COVER
nor to make him call a special session
of the legislature for the relief of those
people. Yet such is the peculiar con-
dition of public morals in these latter
days that Governor Culberson has
called q special session of the Texas
legislature for the sole purpose of max
ing law to prevent proposed prize
fight.
1t was proposed to have prize fight
at the Dallas exposition this fall. A
large percentage of the citizens of the
state are opposed to it, and after a
great deal of agitation the governor
srrayed himself with this class and de-
clared that there should be no such
exhibition. In order to test the law on
the subject fight between two obscure
persons was arranged and the partici-
pants were arrested. The highest
criminal court in the state tried the
case and decided that prize fighting
was only misdemesnor and punisha-
BILE by small fine. Then the governor
called q special session of the legisla-
ture for the purpose above stated
That body convened last Tuesday, and
after two days deliberation on the
mighty problem Of how to prevent a
prize fight, enacted law which will
probably cost the people of the state
$25,000.
Prize fighting is brutal and vulgar
amusement, and Governor Culberson
took the right side of the question; but
if this matter was of sufficient impor-
tance to demand special session Of
the legislature, what shall be said of
the numerous other questions that are
demanding attention from the law
makersP There is no state in tho union
but what has laws which permit-yes,
assist the rich to Oppress and rob the
producer; permit corporations to tram
pie on the rights of the citizen; permit
men, women and children to suffer for
the want of chance to earn living.
Mass meetings are held, and governors
are petitioned to do something for the
relief of the distressed But the estab.
lished customs of society prevent gov
ernors from interfering in such cases.
Legislatures meet in their regular ses-
sions and skip over all such matters.
Then why does state official dare to
take hold Of the question of prize fight
ing 80 promptlyP Because society
demands it. Why does society demand
that instead of other reforms? Because
your popular society reformer directs
his efforts toward where there is no re-
sistance from the capitalist, the usurer
and the landlord. Governor Culberson
is that kind of a reformer. If that leg
islature should enact q measure pro-
viding that townships, counties or
municipalities might establish enter
prises or construct public improve
ments without paying tribute to bond
brokers and interest sharks, he, like
Governor Morrill,, of Kansas, would
promptly veto it. That would be inter.
fering with the "rights of capital"
This apparent concern over the ques-
ton of prize fighting is mere buncombe.

TAKING 4 BATH IN JAPAN.-We
made our host understand what We
wanted, and soon all hands were busy
bringing wooden pals of water into the
yard. We noticed that with each pail
sr;ived half dozen inquisitive-looking
natives, who had evidently scented
some novelty in the air.
At last the water was ready, and we
were told that we could have our bath.
"But what about all these people ~ we
asked, pointing to the crowd of women
and children assembled in the yard.
"Oh, they've come to see" was the re-
ply. Now Englishmen, as rule, are
modest beings, and l fancy that most
