The facts about a clever swindle by which several of the most prominent capltalists of Detrolt were badly caught have leaked out, About elghteen months 8go there came to Detrolt an Oakland county farmer nsmed McManus, who had a tale of vislonary wealth to unfold to the capltallstlc e He had prior to that time Invested in » farm near the village of Bermingham, which Is jast mcross the Wayne County line. MoManus was a shrewd-looking fellow, who had spent a portion of his life in the oll fields of Penusylvania. He was an expert in boring for oll, and in selecting this farm he Intimated that he had the intention of exploring its resources in that directlon. He thought that d the characteristics of oll tields, A small sum of money was pald down, and a mortgage for §16,000 waa recorded in the county clerk’s office as the balance of the purchase money. He Interested in the prospects D, Farrand Henry, Al- bert H. Wilkinson, R. A, Parker, and Charles F. Burton, These men went to Blrmingham, and were elated at the signs of untold wealth, Not a whisper was made even tointimate frlends, and the intention of organizing a stock company was at once carrled into effect. The expectant eyes of the De- troit visitors saw evidences of petroleum everywhere on the olly farm. A dnll and pump were purchaeed, and with the other necessary materials work w. menced. The pump and the drlll moved at intervals, and a few m.nths ago genuine petroleam began to be brought to the surface, Two weeks ago the pump seemed to have reached an unfalling supply of ofl. It flowed rapidly to the extent of ssveral barrels, and then euddenly the supply became exhausted. Siucas that tlme these men have taken turns in daily visits to Bir- mlugham, Oil kept flowing in abundanre at intervele, but tho supply too often stopped saddenly., The 340-acre farm was not enough. Negotiations have quletly baen c.rrled on, and all leases of adjacent farms for a consicerable distanc have been obtained by the syndicate. One day last week Mr. Wilkinson determined to ascertain the causes which led to the occasional , ceasations In the flow of ofl by taking up the plpe. The pipe had been pulled up but a few feet when asmall lead plpe was dlscovered which accompanled the large plpe In its downward course. About three feet from the ground the lead plpe ran some distance away from the drill and con- nected with a hogshead filled with potroleum, The mystery was solved. The day the pipe was pulled from thi ground McManus dissppeared, but it ha been ascertalned aince that he lay in the bushes near the scene and watched the blasting of his hopes of wealth. Only for the discovery McManus would proba- bly have turned in his farm for thousands of dollara to a stock company. The syn- dicats look sheepish when d the price of oil, and declare they only spent a fow hundred dollars in experl- menting. — The Prettiest Lady in Omaha Remarked to a friend the other day that eh knew Kemp's Ba'sam for the Throat avd Lungs was a superior remedy, as it stopped her cough mstantly when others had no effect whatever, So to prove this Schroter & Con- rad, druggists, No, 211 Fifteenth street, will guarantee it to all, Price 50 cents and $1, Z'rial size free ———— Another Aluminum Craze, Springfield Republican.

The latest clalmanta for the honor of the dls- covery are Cleveland Inventors, who olaim to haye made a direct reduction of aluminum, mangaoese, magneslum, so- dium, potassium, calclum, strontium and other metals, as well as the costly metal- lcon, from their oxides s by means of electricity, an acoount dlscov- has been read to the sclence o 4 Ann Arbor.

' THE DAILYBE THE LAND IN COMMON. Its Advantages Far Superior 1o the Severally Plan, The Qnestion Discussed In all it Bearings ~Land Monopoly the Groatest of all Sviis To the Editorof the Bre, With your klad permisslon 1 desire to reply to certain statements made by Hon, John M. Thayer In your lssue of the 17th fast., such statements belog portlons of an answer to a communieation of mine in the issae of the 30:h ult,, relative to land tenurs among the American Indlans, The distinguished gentleman, in sup- port of his views, relles largely upon the following statement of the Rev. Willlam Horrlson: “The Omahas have for some time held their lands in severalty, and lately a new distribu- tion has bsen made, some taking new claim: I think all ve claims unless a few boi within a year, It works well, as it sesms to secure to all such their lands without tax for twenty-five years, with no power on their part to sell within thattime, Koough fa left to supply those who may be born within twenty- fiva yoats, by section or inherita groat great drawback is the community of timber on theriver and bluffs, which resultsin much evil.” . Then Mr, Thayer approvingly says, “With them the land in severaity works well.” Now, we have only to say, zenerally, that If Mr. Hamllton’s statement eatab. lishes or tends to establish anything in the disoussion, it Is the propriety of the very princlple for which we are contend- ing, 1. e., the common ownershlp of land, For it will bs noticed that this so-called holding of land in severalty by the Omahas is In fact slmply and ouly a com- paratively temporary division of land among the tribe for the purposes of uee aud cultivation. This has all the advan- tages, prastically considered, that such a land tenure as I favor contemplates. ‘The Indlaus are to have thelr lands twenty-five years with no power to die- pose of them within that tlme. So they are practically enjoying, and will enjoy all the benefits of the commonalty sys- tem for a quarter of a century at least, and let us hope forever. Happy Indlacs! With reasonable Industry and prudence want and the fear of want need have no terrors for them during the above named perlod. How many white communities have such a plessant prospect before them? Of course we understand Mr, Thayer to mean by the term saveralty the Indi- vldual poesession of land by a freehcld title with all the legal rights pertaining thereto. 1 am opposed to such a land system. But, lest 1 shculd bo mlsanderstood, I will endeavor to brlefly outline the land policy which I deem the most just. We belteve the state should own all the land within its bounds and that the citizens thereof should paya certaln rent, or tex, as It may be termed, to the stste for such lands as they use. And that such rent or tax should bs high enough to prevent the holding of land for any other purpose than that of use. Such a policy respecting land need not interfere with the exlsting order of things farther than to abolish Jand speculation avd monop-— oly. The citizen who has his home, the farmer who cultivates his farm, the mer- chant who owns hls own warehonse, and the manufacturer who has his own shop will not be injuriously affacted, but ulti- mately greatly benefitted. They and their children after them msy continue to be the nominal owners and possees of thelr respective lots of land as long rs they see proper to use them. But it will effsctually eradicate that in- cubus upon the material growth and prosperlty of our society —the monopolization of land. Nothing tends to retard the growth and prosper— ity of Omaha so much as the speculation in and the monopolization of land, And what is true of Umaha In this regard Is more or less trus of every city In the land. All through this town ars found vacant lots and in the suburbs large ssopes of unoccapled land held msiuly for specula- tive purposes. Enormous prices are de- manded for these lots and lands and hun- dreds of persons who would buy lots and butld houses, now that butlding material 13 80 cheap and lakbor so plenty are deterred from 8o doing because of the dearness of land, Consequently rents are mal talned at rulnously high rates, numbers of mechanics and laborers unemployed and the growth and expansion of the clty greatly impeded. I can see nothing that so greatly inter- feres with the welfare and progress of community as the rapecity and selfish- ness of peopla who own land which they will neither uee themselves nor allow othera to use without an extortionate ex- actlon for the privilege, Talk about railway monopolies, telegraph monopolies and the ltke! While such are bad encugh {n my est/mation, they bear no comparl- son to the monstrous power and pernl- cluus effects of land monopoly. It is the hideous and heartless vamplre that is sucking the vitsl blood of modern olvl atlon, It Is that which tends to make the rich richer and the poor poorer, with that amazing speed and celerlty with which the forces of modern civilization act upon society. Says Mr, Hamilton: *“Cho community ownerehlp of the timber works evil.” This {s rather remarkapie.
