PROTECTING THE PUBLIC LANDS.
Need of Checking the Grabs of Capt.
talists and Spectators.
MINNEAPOLIS Tribune.

MlnnedpOuS tribune.
The crusade against monopoly of the
public lands by capitalists and spectators
is no new thing. 1t only gains new interest
now from the increased danger that this
monopoly will destroy the whole heritage of
the people II it be not checked. OF the
three laws, whose repeal Is demanded by
the president and the secretary of the in
terror, only one was enacted in the interest
of the people.
The homestead communication act served
a good purpose in enabling settlers to OBJ
tain title so that they could raise money
on their homesteads for Improvement. But
1t served a much larger purpose Of cor
ruption in enabling fraudulent entrymen to
obtain title In order to transfer 1t to the
capitalists and spectators by whom they
were hired to commit perjury. The stone
and timber act and the desert land act
never were passed in the interest Of the
people. They were passed to serve the
purpose of capitalists and spectators at a
time when public opinion on this subject
was languid, because so large a proper
ton of the arabic lands had been taken up.
But the adoption of the national policy Of
irrigation revives public interest in pres
ervation of the land for the people, as it
increases the activity of the speculative
Idlu upOu hHeHs Entities uHuOT the SlOHe
and timber act are nearly ten lines what
they were five years ago and probably the
same is true of the other two acts. The
department believes that a large proper
ton of these are fraudulent and It urges
that even honest entries under these acts
are opposed to public policy, now that the
government has decided to redeem the arid
lands for actual settlers.
rhe senate committee on public lands, in
its report on the rel cal bill, points out that
presidents and secretaries of the interior.
and later secretaries of agriculture. have
been urging the repealt OF all these acts
for twenty yeats past. Secretary Hitch
cock and President Roosevelt have been
led to give more earnest attention to the
matter by the fact that public land entries
increased from 100000 acres IN 1898 to H.
900. 900 acres in 1902, without any perceptible
increase in the area of actual settlement
outside of Oklahoma, where only the orlgi-
nal homestead act prevails. 1t is perfectly
clear that the public domain is passing
into the hands OF great landed proprietors,
who will reap the benefit OF the national
policy of irrigation II the movement be not
checked.

Growth in Cotton exports,
Philadelphia Press

Under the last Cleveland administration
the exports Of cotton manufactures in one
year increased to the extent OF 50, 232. 500
over. although the exports In a year under
the Harrison administration, and that In
crease was in 1896. when the days of demo-
cratic rule were drawing to a certain end.
But under President Roosevelt the exports
Of cotton manufactures last year were $15.-
2n,2S6 greater than they were under CIeve-
land In 1895. That is proof OF what the
future promises to the cotton growers and
manufacturer under republican rule. If
there were no race question in the south

NEKEIA,S NEK KlNG

1t required only a few minutes for the
Servian parliament to choose a new
king to succeed the murdered Alexander
and 1t was accomplished without the
least excitement. The enthusiasm with
which the people hailed the event at
tested the popularity of Prince Kara
~georgevitch, whose title as king will be
Peter 1. He has had an adventurous and
checkered career, the most notable fea-
ture Of which is a good record as a SOL
der in the Franco-Prussian war. he
having received a thorough military
education in France. From what has
been said of him, he appears TO- be a
nan who should give Servia stable and
good government and promote it's ma
terial growth. The expectation is that
Russian influence. will now be para
mount in Servian affairs and whether or
not this will be Of benefit to the country
is a question.
AS now indicated King Peter may find
the chief difficulty confronting him that
of dealing with those who are respOn-
sible for the murder Of the late king and
queen. 1t is quite probable that some
of the leaders in that bloody event will
ask to be recognized in the new govern
ment and II the king should give any of
them recognition Servia's relations with
other powers might be imperiled. This
Is shown in the position taken by the
British Foreign office that II the new
cabinet shall include. those. who were in
the assassinations it would be impOs-
sible for Great Britain to continue dip
lomatic relations with Seryia. On the
other hand the leaders in the revolt may
make trouble IL they are refused recog-
milton. However, a way will doubtless
be found to arrange everything to the
satisfaction of the powers and permit
the little kingdom to enjoy a period OF
peace and do away with the unhappy
conditions that have long disturbed II.

THE FALL IN STOCKS
Ountry "Facine a Condition, Not n
Theory"
PHILADELPHIA Press

Philadelphia Press.
The railroad plant Of the country was
also expanded 10 a basis needed not only to
handle enormous business. but the addi-
tlonal business during the last three years
created by railroad expansion itself. a
very considerable item. The Buildings in
our cities are all built on the basis of a
boom.
The three, manufacturers. railroads and
buildings, are now each OF them waiting
for the business and the profits which will
justify the expansion Of the last three
years. But the instant the expansion. Of
all three had a check in the early part Of
the year, there came also a check in the
demand for manufactures, and this In its
turn brought one In the demand for
freights. Things are worth not what they
are value in prospectuses and I'm stock
certificates, but what they will earn.
Earnings depend not upon gross business,
but upon net business. Net business has
been sadly cut into by the fashion in
which the price. Of material and the rate
Of wages has been raised.
The country therefore faces what many
a man and corporation has faced, a sud
den demand, al expansion to meet the
demand and the discovery, when the ex-
pansion is made. that the demand has
passed. A fall under these conditions is
certain. Intrinsic values remain. The
only men who will suffer will be very rich
, men. who have borrowed money to pay
for h they did not own. .
There has also, It must not be forgotten,
been a prodigious conversion of floating
capital into fxed capital, and much of this
fixed capital is lost because the business
for which 1t was invested was exaggerated
exactly as the capital invested was itself
overstated. How long the fall will last
no one can say, but It really depends upon
causes and conditions which are wider and
more powerful than any man. however,
able in banking, any corporation. however
great, or any trust, however mighty.

Discussion over Their Resemblance
aAd Contrasts.

New York Evening Post.
There mas been discussion In the markets,
lately, as to the parallel presented by 1903
with 1883. These comparisons have been
more interesting from the remarkable
similarities between the years 1900 1902 in
elusive, and ~1SSO-1SS2. In 1880, as in 1900, we
had a halt pending the national campaign;
a fall in stocks, followed by violent
recovery after the election; an immensely
profitable grain crop. a huge export trade,
apd the beginnings of a stock company
craze. In 1881, as in 1901. there was a wild
advance in stocks, checked by a corn crop
failure and the assassination Of the presi-
dent; an immense increase In consolid-
ations, railway deals" and issues of new
securities. In 1882, as in 1902, there were
excited and unsettled stock markets, con-
slant strain on money, imports hugely in
creased, while exports decreased, and con-
sequent adverse movements in exchange.
Like 1888, the present year started with
an overstrained banking system, a market
glutted with unsold securities, and a pro-
longed decline on the Stock exchange. 9th
erwise, the r-esemblances are not so plain.
Signs OF serious reaction in our trade at
large were already visible at this time in
1888, as they are not now. Railway rate.
cutting was constantly breaking out, and
apprehension over the silver Currency was
felt on every side. Nothing OF this sort
now exists.
The second half OF 1883 was strangely
interesting. 1t comprised. first, the most
profitable season ever witnessed In railway
industry; ending, however. I'm a rate war
