lieved by tho socialists and claimed by
tho demngogues that the extensive
schemes of state built railroads under
taken by Australia would inevitably re-
guilt III great prosperity, and so 1t seemed
for while. Then came the drought,
and during tho last two years IN the
State OF Victoria the number OF births
has been less by 22,o00 than tho num-
her OF uble-boded men and women, who
have left tho country. The. same equal
condition exists in most OF the other
States that form Australia, and at pres
ent there is nothing that can be done TO
change this condition except to pray for
rain.

conditions, three-ffths of the population

painfully the pressure Of the heavy debts

The Land-G rabbers' Law.

Editor of The Times Dispatch:
sr.-Some three years ago the land
grabbers had very easy time confls-
eating the real estate Of widows and or
phans for past due State takes.
Cur Legislature seeing the injustice OF
this, passed a law about that time rel
curing land -gra bbers to give personal
notice to tho owners Of and al others
Interested In tho real estate when they
proposed To conflscate.
Instead OF our City Fathers procuring
at the Same time additional legislation
owners Of real estate In tho city, the City 8
charter was so amended as to make II
oven easier than before for the land
grabners to conascate city real estate,
Under the existing law all that is neces-
sary to be done to purchase real estate

the taxes due the city, nd the only no.

would DO returned delinquent next Feb

whom you bought It,, and the following
