Supreme Court Practically Affirms Its
Sale to S.. Louis & Memphis Railroad.

Washington. Oct. 29.-Twelve hundred
Thousand acres of land in Arkansas are
involved in the denial by the supreme
court IF a writ of certiorari to review the
decision of the federal court of appeals
in effect affirming the validity of the sale
of the lands to the st. Louis Memphis
Railroad Co, since defunct. notwith-
standing that they were declared forfeited
by the Arkansas Legislature. The origi-
nal sales to the company were with
proviso that the projected road through
them should be built within three years.
AS this was not done the lands were sold
in 1881 to others. who had since paid taxes
on them. The company failed in 1884. and
the road was subsequently built by tn,
Kansas City. Fort Scott & Memphis Co.
The court of appeals affirmed the title of
the latter company on the ground that no
notice of the forfeiture had been served
hv the McGehee heirs. the parties to the
original sale, on the railroad companies.

leased from the Indians of the Umatilla
reservation. who derive an income of
about 100000 year from this source.

idea what this contract would
amount TOT Better study the mat
ter a little.
1t is said that Germany main
tains the parcels post and at the
same time supports thriving towns
and villages all over the empire.
Admit for arguments sake that
Germany and the United States
are on an equal footing in the
form of government, the Germans
are naturally a domestic people
and live at home. They thrive on
a fractional part OF what it costs
Americans to live. Yet their towns
and villages are not notable for
merchandising. The larger cit
les do that while the smaller places
abound in places of amusement,
principally restaurants and beer
gardens. But for all that Germa-
ny would not sustain these condi-
tions if the area of the German
empire were not less than one
tenth as large as that of the Unit
ed States. France is only a re-
public in name. 1t is practically
a military government, and the
conditions there are not the most
commendable. England is the on
ly country that has counted the
cost and when it was found that
the expenditures of the system
were far in excess of the receipts
bookkeeping was abandoned.
There is nothing to recommend
parcels post in this country and
we are thoroughly convinced that
it would be great mistake.
