LAND fraud CASES
SECRETARY GARFIELD ASKS
Big FUND TO COURT Them.
A Large Portion of the Lands Are Lo-
Gated in the Northwest-People I'm
plicated Well Entrenched as Defective
Land Laws Make It Difficult to Main
tain Prosecutions.

Chicago.-Since Secretary. of the In
terror Garfield made his sensational
declaration that cases of land fraud
involving the theft of portions of the
public domain valued at $114,OOO. 900
were pending in the federal courts or
under investigation by his department,
he has received information of still
more extensive frauds, says a Wash
ington dispatch to the Chicago Record
Herald. Secretary Garfield at first
asked for an appropriation of $5OO,OOO
to carry on the investigation, but the
reports reaching him show that the
frauds are so numerous and of such a
character that the amount will not
suffice, and he now asks for 100000 |
to be used in the work.
The almost herculean task of I'M
earthing the gigantic frauds in the
public lands, which are alleged to ex-
list, is strikingly shown in a statement
of Chief of the Field Service Schwartz,
who reports to the secretary that
combinations are frequently so well

public land laws as to present an al
most impossible task in securing evil
dence, or recovering lands worth hun
dreds of thousands of dollars"
Some Northwest Cases.
In giving out a summary of the
larger cases affected by charges of
fraud or illegality now pending, CLASH
fed by states or financial divisions, the
department omits details of identif-
cation and names of parties in cases
still under investigation, for the rea-
son that the parties are entitled to such
protection until investigation develops
facts warranting their presentment to
a proper tribunal and, on the other
hand, present publishing of details
would, generally, embarrass further
inquiry in a case.
Following are the cases in the north

DeafneSs Cannot BE Cured

by local applications, as they cannot
reach the diseased portions of the
ear. There is only one way to cure
deafness, and that is by constitutional
remedies. Deafness is caused by an
inflamed condition of the mucous
lining of the Eustachian Tube When
this tube is inflamed you have a rumb-
ling sound or imperfect hearing, and
when it is entirely closed, Deafness
is the result, and unless the inflam-
nation can be taken out and this
tube restored to its normal condi-
ton, hearing will be destroyed for
ever! nine cases out of ten are caused
by Catarrh which is nothing but an
inflamed condition of the mucous
surfaces. We will give One Hundred
Dollars for any case of Deafness
Caused by Catarrh' that cannot be
cured by Halls Catarrh Cure. Send

WAKING THE SLEEPING GIANT
washington POST

Christendom seems bent on awaken
ing to civilization China and its limit
less hordes. Railroads are to pene-
trate the remotest confines of that
mysterious empire and develop natur-
al resources supposed to be boundless.
We are told that there is more miner
al, precious and base, in the bosom of
China than the entire western hemi-
sphere has Yet opened to the miner
1t is proposed to engraft Western
civilization, with its energy, upon that,
for ages, inert, stagnant, stolid people
We are playing with fire, for a civil
lied China, as we see it in Birming-
ham and Manchester in Eur pc, and
Pittsburg and Chicago America,
will make strides like a giant to first
place among the nations. India will
fall, ripe pear, in her lap. She will
engulf Japan, and Danish Russia from
Siberia, whenever her people become
Westernized.
Westernize China and it will develop
a Warlike spirit equal to any, with the
elan of France or Japan, the pluck of
England or America, and the skill of
Germany. Then suppose the Moslem
people become her allies They are
Asiatic and fanatic in their hatred of
ChristendOm. With an awakened and
civilized China, who can be assured
that the Moor will not again plant
himself in Spain? Will a Charles
Martel rise, at the stamp of a foot, to
turn the crescent back from Tours?
Before we civilize China would it
not be better to wait the fulfllment of
the prophecy: And He shall judge
among the nations, and shall rebuke
many peoples, and they shall beat
their swords into plowshares, and
their spears into pruning hooks; ma
ton shall not lift up sword against
nation; neither shall they learn war
any more"
That will be time enough to West
ernie China.

SENATOR CORES ADVICE.

Savannah Morning News.)
In the interview in Kansas City on
Saturday Senator Gore Of Oklahoma
advised that the Democrats make no
nominations in the campaign next
fall against Representative Murdoch
of Kansas and the rest OF the anti
Cannon Republicans of the House of
Representatives. There isn't the least
probability OF this advice being taken
If it should he. the chances the
Democrats have of carrying the next
House would be greatly 1essened. In
the districts represented by these
twelve Republicans the Democrats
have A chance of eiGcting their candi-
dates. If they make TO nominations
the districts will of course All go Re-
publican. and the Democratic organ
ization in each OF them will suffer
some injury. And what would be
gained? 1t is hardly probable that
Mr.. Cannon will be a candidate for
speaker again. He is well along in
the seventies, and even if he should
be given another term in Congress it
isn't certain that he would be can
didate for Speaker.
1t is far more important that the
Democrats should make a strong fight
for the next House than il is to throw
away an opportunity for accomplish
ing that object simply out of good will
for the Republicans who tried to de-
feat what are called Mr.. cannon's
rules.
After all, the rules are not Mr.. Can
mons. They are the rules of the Re-
publican majority, and if the Repub-
licans win the next House the present
rules will be retained, in all probable
ity, even If the twelve anti-Cannon
Republicans should all be reelected.
And who is to vOuch for these
twelve anti-Cannon Republicans be-
ing against the Cannon rules in the
next Congress? The question of the
rules might not be an issue in the next
speakership election. If Mr.. Cannon
were not a candidate the question Of
changing them might not be even
mentioned
These twelve anti-Cannon Republic
cans, if elected to the next Congress,
wouldn't act with the Democrats on
any question other that that of the
rules, and, as already stated, they
might not act with them on that ques-
ton. Some of them might be tempted
to act with their own party by prom
Uses of chairmanships of committees
or desirable places on committees, if
the rules question should be an issue
in the speakership election.

Gov. Conner of Atabame, suggests
that prohibition be inserted into the
State Constitution. This step, he be-
lieVes, would make it forever impos-
sible to lRgalize the manufacture or
sale of intoxicalts in that state. 1t
is not improbable that eventually this
course will be pursued in a number
of states as the most efficient way of
stopping agitation against existing
laws. To drive prohibition out of a
state constitution would be an almost
hopeless task.

CURRENT COMMENT

is that the Democrats in twelve dis
tricts In the West should stand aside
and let Republicans be elected be-
cause these twelve apti-Cannon Re
pNblicans opposed to what are called
Cannoat@ rules. 1t seems to us that
the Democrats in these twelve dis
tricts will prefer TO stand by the prin-
ciples of their party and name candi-
dates of their own for Congress, If
we can get four or five Democratic
congressman from these twelve dis
tricts we had better get them. They
certainly would be Of more service to
the Democratic party than the tBelV6
Republicans who have a grievance
against Speaker Cannon.

WORK!

Work with thy hands!
Be constant in the strife; -
1t was to do the work
That man was given life.
For faithful work, we'll done,
Be proud, where'er yOu are,
In the city-in the TOWN.
Alone in forest far.
Work with thy mind,
And cultivate with care
The noble thoughts that rise,
And send them forth with prayer;
Let not the weeds O'errun
Thy thoughts most fertile field;
Thou shalt ere long be rich
In many a fruitful yield.
Work with thine heart,
In sadness or in joy,
Put selfishnHss to shame,
And mocking tongues defy;
Dare to proclaim the law
God gives us from above;
We work that we may live.
But living is 10 love.
But higher yet ascend,
And labor with thy soul:
Quench not the noble flame
That seeks to reach it's goal;
Each day draws light and strength
From the fountain head above,
The fount that never fails,
The great Eternal Love.
Translated from the French.

THE CHANNEL FLIGHT,
(New York WORLDLY

New York World)
The success OF Louis Bleroit in
crossing the English Channel in his
monOplane is the most dramatic
achievement of modern aviation. 1t
may not have added much to expert
knowledge of the means of flying, but
/ it makes powerful appeal to the pop
ular imagination wherever nRwspa-
pers are reaa and history is remem-
hered.
The silver streak that parts Eng
land from France has made ngch his
tory Not to go further back, it has
kept modern England what it is by
acting as the most perfect scientific
boundary a8y nation has except ia
pan. Napoleon gathered his walnut
shell barges in the Fr6Bch Channel
ports 10 invade England, but tbs hour
never came. If he had not turned
away Robert Futon with his project
of using steam ip nayigation, things
might have gone differently. Since
Napoleon no one has thought of in-
vading England.
1t is the Channel that has made
Britain the chief naval power, the
only power whose feet is more inn
portant thap her army. The Channel
is the sensitive nerve in British geog-
raphy. The mere suggestion of a
tunnel to France has always sept John
Bull into Mysteries and made biA
dream OF armies burrowing up like
moles through Die Dover cliffs. And
now one Frenchmah has crossed the
great barrier without boat, toll or
ticket. not in balloon that drifts at
chance but 3p an aircraft that minds
her helm.
True, France is just N0W almost an
ally of Britain; but Zeppelia, within
the range of flight of his airship could
easily pass over France and the Chan
mel too, from German soil to British
He is not likely to do it in the present
excited state Of the British mind, bp+
Bleroit's feat will remind the British
lingo of what the GeFmaa as well as
the Frenehman can do. Ia the phrase
of war aiarmists. Britain is mo longer
an islard."
On its technical side NJ. Bleriot'S
feat is a considerable one. His aero
plane is of the smallest type and one
of the cheapest. Any man in moderate
circumstances may possess it's mate il
he will, while the cost OF a Zepplin
airship might be some 100000. The
winds of the Channel are as unceasing
and incalculable as its tidal currents,
and strength or skill is needed to fight
or dodge them. Still, Bleriott's feat
does not merely lie in having flown
over a perilous course of twenty-odd
miles in a small machine but in hav-
ing crossed the blue boundary which
divides the great little island kingdom
from the rest of Europe.
