J. BULL WILL OWN US.

WE'RE BEING BOUGHT OUT WEALTHY ENGLISHMEN. BY They Have Acquired Va-t Tracts of Laud in Y2ii Country, Abrogating 20,000,000 AcrcH-Sccret Society to Ifeseiit Their Hack Iicutiitg. It of the IIi!diiijis. That Fnglish aristocrats should rule large domains in the I'nittnl States, ami nth them from London, is at first a dittieult thing to grasp. Not until it is home in mind that peers and peeresses; of Croat llrifain are lar.se landed proprietors in our country Viseount Scully alone owns :;.-.' hi aeres in Illinois, Iowa and Nebraska does tlie .significance of absenteeism in landlords become apparent. Hut now the matter will bo brought home to Americans more directly than it has ever been brought home yet. for there is shortly to be a union in London of the American land-owning interests, and a series of drastic measures are scheduled, which, it is believed, will not only increase the annual rentals of the vast domain involved, but will greatly afire t the destiny of the hundreds of thousands who dwell upon it. First of all, a list of the members of the aristocracy who own the lands in question will not be without interest. Such a list has nev er before been given in full. The greatest of the F.ng'ish NIIADKI) SKCTIONS SHOW" LAND holdings and the persons interested are these: The Texas Land Union (Syndicate No.:i). ".000,000 acres. Interested peers: Ilaroness llurdett-Coutts, Marl Cadogan, the Duke of Iieaufort, William Alexander Lochiel, Stephen DouglasHamilton. Duke of lieaudon. Duke of Rutland. Ughtaed J. Kay-Shut tie worth and Fthel Cadogan unaid in waiting to the Queen). This syndicate owns whole counties in Texas and tens of thousands of persons pay it rentals. Sir Edward Iieid, loiK,imo acres. This is a syndicate which owns lands in Florida only. It includes the present Duchess of Marlborough. Lady Randolph Churchill and Lady Listeria:! ye. Viscount Scully, 2.oiU0 acres. Syndicate No. 4 l.N'iOjioo acres. This syndicate has all its holdings in Mississippi. It includes the Marquis of Dalhotisie, Viscount Cholmondeley, Viscountess Cross. Hon. Lady Hamilton Cordon and Hon. Lady l.iddulph. Marquis of Tweedale l.TÖO,( 00 acres. The Marquis is famed all over Scotland as the rack-rent landlord. Fhillips. Marshall & Co..

This syndicate includes the Earl of Verulam and the Earl of Lankeville. M. Evenhauser, of Halifax-000,000 acres in West Virginia. A Scotch syndicate No. 1 oOXM) acres in Florida. Land Owners Organizing. It is claimed that fully 20,000,000 acres of American land are thus owned by great landowners in England and Scotland. This does not include the Holland syndicate, which owns o.OOO,000 acres of grazing land iu Western States, nor the Cermaii syndicate, owning 2,000,000 acres in various States. For some time past it has been evident to the foreign landowners that concerted action on their part was essential to their interests. It is well known to those who have casually looked into the matter th.it foreign land-owning has much impeded the development of the Western commonwealths!. The great landowners positively refuse to sell. The- prefer to establish a system of agencies and bailiffs with the result that very serious complications have resalt"d. The State Legislatures have done their best to deal with the question, but

heretofore with only indifferent success. Finally- matters 'came to such a deplorable stage in Illinois that a committee of the American tenantry was appointed to present a memorial to the London owners of the luid. setting forth the ruin that stared the Western farmers in the face as a result of the rack-renting system that had been evolved out of .he chaos, but did not accomplish any great results. Finding that mild measures availed nothing, the tenantry resorted to a more radical expedient. An association has been formed in Illinois. Nebraska. Iowa and Kansas to resist to the utmost the demands of the F.nglish landlords. The organization is a secret one and is the tirst really agrarian agitation in American history. The association works more secretly than the Holy Vehm Berichte, but it has already influenced legislation in a marked manner. There is now for the first time an open war in prospect between aristocratic land owning llritons and their tenants in America. San Francisco I 'xa miner.

For Stationery. Fach Congressman is allowed .Sll'ö for stationery for each session of Congress, and those who do not use that amount of stationery during the session, may draw the remainder in cash. The stationery accounts just now being made up show that very few use all their stationery. One dignified member 1IKLI) 1JY FOIIKICN CAl'lTALlsTS. reported only three con Is worth, most of them from $1 to Sio. The committees-are allowed liberal supplies of stationery independent of the Congressional supply, and Congressmen use this instead of their own. leaving them that much mire cash. The present Congress has had three sessions, making the stationery allowance S.7." for each member. Add to this the Sl.'JOO for a clerk, and another considerable leak appears, to be plugged by more gold bonds. Pops Not Djiiitf Out. The cheerful old party liars repeal their weekly joke about the Populists lying; out. It makes us smile. This is bow they are dying out: In the election last fall the Republicans lost It) per cent, of their vote when compared with the vote of istrj. The Democrats lost over .'IT per cent. The Populists gained !C per cent. How do you like It? This Is the way it looks on paper: Republican loss, 20 per cent., looks like this: Democrat io loss, :i per cent., looks like this: c And Populist CAIN' of Or, per cent., like this: 2 The Populist? Populist. are satisfied. Kansas In Delia nee of All. Cleveland has issued his gold, bonds to Rothschild in deliance of law, in deliaiico of Congress and in defiance of the people. Talk about the Czar of Il.issia! Count. Tolstoi lias recently issued a protest against that monarch's declaration that he proposed to continue ids claims of autocracy and uphold the divine right of kings. Count Tolstoi should come over to America and try his hand. Our plutocracy can give points to the Russian autocracy. Iu

the person of Cleveland we have both. He is an autocrat as well as a phittv crat, everything in fact but a Democrat.

Hanks in Politics. The banks are running the country and running it into the ground. You cannot pick up a newspaper but you will read of a meeting of bankers, here or there, to dictate to Congress; or of President Ulank. of the Fdank National Lank, drawing a series of resolutions to instruct members of the House or Senate. Are the bankers philanthropists? No: their business is to lend money and collect interest upon it. As a class they have not a particle of connection with the people, except to siiek the substance out of them, and leave them poorer than they were. Are they looking out for the welfare of the masses': No: they are simply trying to concentrate the wealth of the masses in their own pockets. You can't blame them. That is their business. Hut to govern a republic so that the many will be prosperous and the greed of the few be restrained I all ! You might just as well expect a Hengal tiger to establish an orphan asylum. He might furnish the orphans, but not the asylum. Now, we are not objecting to bankers per sc. Many of them are excellent gentlemen: but when it comes to a money-lending class controlling the legislation of this great republic we protest with all the emphasis we are capable of. All our disasters are due to them coming out from behind their counters to dominate the politics of the country. Let them slick to iheir legitimate business of money grabbing. Ignatius Donnelly.

Among those who have followed the testimony in the Cing murder case there will be little doubt that the jury, in convicting Hay ward, has brought a most desperate scoundrel to justice.

A resident ofthe Indian reservat ion states that James sasaquo, known as Jarno Sassafras, Ihe venerable Miami Indian, lately died of starvation iu his little hut on the resnrve. Sasafras was necr a Chief ofthe Miamis, nor was he related to a Chief. He was of plebciin strain, inclined to Im lazy and with a passion for firewater, characteristic of the degenerate remnants of his trile. The Township Truste had wearied of supply ing Sassafras with food and clothing, and requested him togoto the Poor-house, but Sassafras w as obdurate and was left to starve alone. A messenger from ("abfiel ( I od f rev. one of the few industrious"and thrifty ofthe Miamis, with a basket of clothing ami v ietuals, called at the little shanly which Sassafras called home, just before the latter's death, but he was too weak to accept the present. CitAiM.r.s Di 1.1., aged 1, Farmland, while play ing with a revolver, pointed it at Frank Jones, aged II, and pulled the trigger. The ball entered Jones' face, inflicting a fatal injury. Dull says it was an accident, w bile Jones dec lares it was done in a lit of anger. At Mctitone, as Mrs. W. S. Charles was rendering lard mi a gasoline stove, the lard ignited causing an explosion. Mrs. Charles being at work near the stove her clothing caught lire. The flames completely enveloped her lKTson. destroying her hair and burning the tlesh of her 1 hulas, so severely that her tot nails dropped off. It is thought Ler injuries will prove fatal.

The House was engaged almost all day in the consideration of bills, most of which were of second and third rate importance. Andrew Jackson, the uiciiiIht from Carroll, who was censured for springing the sensation about the barrel of whisky in the State House basement, offered a resolution to expunge from the journal all records censuring him. The reason for offering the resolut ittn as stated, was that the. Senate had; voted to retain in the slate House the man who had kept the supply of whisky in a botth. The resolution was adopted, all the Republicans voting for it. Saturday the Legislature practically fin-i.-.hed its work. The Nicholson lull is ready for the ('overnoi's .signature, the conference committee having reported on thi new .section punishing druggists for selling liquor. A minor change only ii made iu the section, and the comnutke report went through with a whoop. Four lulls were passed over the Covernor's veto. They n lv : One practically abolishing the. othceof County Assessor; one giv ing the incoming Kcpuhlican trustees the election of Count) Superintendents; the creation of a Superior Court for Lake County, and the Jackson County seat removal. No attempt will In made to resurrect the metrojKlital police bill. The Senate refused to correct thelSVi fee and salary act.
