CUBA AND SOUTH lfFRIcA.

IN her career Of conquest in former cen
turtles England has never shown anv real
assimilatiye power. Where she has not
been able to kill off the inhabitants of
the lands she has invaded there has ex-
listed a state of perpetual strife which
the record does not show in a SINGLE case
save that Of Scotland alone. to have re-
suited in England assimilating the people
to her social or political conditions. Alb
original races have found her appearance
among them veritable scourge OF ma
ture. The colonies she has established
or more properly, the colonies which
have grown up from the voluntary or in
voluntary eXpatriation of her people, have
reflected and still reflect honor upon her
in cases where her original exactfons
would not be met by resistance. Even in
Canada her rule has been marked by a
succession of abortive instructions and
today the feeling Of her Canadian sub
Jects of French birth toward her rule is
one Of almost open hostility.
The horrible situation which exists j.,
South Africa recalls the days when Eng
lish rule in both Scotland and ireland
was mere matter of maintenance ot
armed garrisons at the strongest points

Condition of chronic warfare with her
representatives where they were not
driven in'upon themselves by starvation
or out Of the country by enforced emil

1t is identically the same process that
prevailed in ireland up to within fifty
or certainly up to within hundred years
that is revealed by the special London
dispatch published in these columns YES

results thus far achieved by England in

LAND AND SETTLERS.

The special dispatch contained in T h e
G o be of yesterday from Bismarck re-
citing the plans of certain cattle-grazing
interests in North Dakota ought to re-
| ceive general attention. 1t recited the
purpose Of those interests to get posses
sion of all the remaining vacant railroad
land owned by the Northern Pacific in
two of the leading western counties OF
| that state, with a view to holding it for
their own use. The extent of the prop
erty thus sought to be controlled by those
interests is estimated as over million
| acres. The matter, it is stated, is now
before the directors Of the road for ac-
ceptance or rejection.
A good deal of objection has been rails
ed from time to time to the action of
the government in regard to railroad
land grants. OF late years, however, it
has come to be recognized that the land
grant policy was a wise one, and has
| been promotive, more, perhaps than any
other influence, of the phenomenal
growth of the country along the lines
Of the land grant roads
The real cause of public criticism i'll
this behalf has not been the action of
| the government, but of the railroads in
disposing OF such large proportions of
their lands and at such low figures. Rail
| road land owned by spectators is on the
| market today, millions of acres of it,
for which all the way from $40 to $50 an
acre is being asked, which came to its
present owners for as low as 81 and 81
an acre. Millions of the most valuable
lands in the Northwest are also being
held by the same class for such high
prices as to take them for the present
out of the market, with the almost posi-
tive assurances that within few years
| the prices asked can be readily obtained.
The old-settled sections of the East and
| Middle West are OVERLOOKING Desirable
lands are being held in those sections at
as high as 500 an acre, and not to be
had at even such prices. The land is no
better, climatic conditions are no more
Law VI AOl0' anu SoCtdI COnOIllOuS very
little better than can be realized all
| throughout the country bordering on the
Northern Pacific and Great Northern
lines in Minnesota and North Dakota.
1t would be a good thing for future
| settlers had the railroads never parted
with an acre of their land except to
actual settlers, since in their hands
there would always exist the additional
| inducement to selling on reasonable
terms, that each sale added to the bust
ness of the road. With SPECTATORS it is
different, the only consideration influence
| ing them being that of the highest price
they can secure either present or pros
| pective.
The lands sought to be purchased by
the cattle-raising interests in that be-
half in this instance are grazing lands
mostly, if not entirely. But the offer to
purchase such an enormous area of land
| ought of itself to give general concern.
Any influence which will operate to re-
| serve the existing available lands in the
! Northwest for the use of actual settlers.
! even in the hands of the railroads, and
restrain the efforts of the SPECTATORS to
| get control of the remaining rich land
not owned by the government would be
