To meet such contingencies the amiable cranks declared In favor of having tho president elected by popular vote, without the Intervention of an electoral college. TDK I'l III.K 1,1. MIS.

In tho National Republican platform ate these declarations 1 "Tho public lands are the hcrltnge of tho people of tho United Slates and should be reserved as far as possible for small holdings by actual scllleis. We are opposed to the acquisition of huge tracts of these lands by coiporatlons or in dlvlduals, especially whcie such holdings arc In tho hands of non-resident aliens, and we will endeavor to obtain such legislation as will tend to correct this evil." It is high time that the policy thus Indicated should be adopted by the Government. Comparative, ly few pcoplo are aware of the vast tracts now held by aliens, individually or as corporations, A table compiled 07 the New York Slav gives somo interesting statis tics 011 the subject. Tho list of foreign laud holders is headed by the Holland Land company, which owns four and one-half million acres of land a tract much larger than the State of Vermont In New Mexico. An Kngllsh syndicate owns three million acres in Texas.

Sir Edward Rcid owns two million in Florida. An English syndicate owns a tract nearly ns largo In Mississippi. Then a London linn owns 1,800,000 acres tho Marquis of Twecdalc, a Geimau syndicate more than a million the London "Anglo American" syndicate 750,000 1 Mr, Evans of London tho Dulcet! Sutherland 425,000 aud many other Individuals and associations tracts ranging iu size from five thousand to six hundred thousand acres. The aggregate owned by twenty-live of these aliens is more than twenty million acres 20,017,000 an imperial domain more than five times as large as the State of Vermont. The list is by uo mcaus complete, and further acquisitions arc constantly being made by Now all this is directly opposed to the fundamental principles of our Government The land belong to the their priu ciplo is small holdings by actual settlers.

As the Worcester well says "Great land-owners, whether they cultivate their own lauds by machinery and hired labor, or lease them tenants, are much less desirable. If they bold their lands vacant for speculation or other purposes, they may do positive mischief by retarding the occupation of the re glon, keeping it a wilderness instead of al-lowing the tide of Immigration to flow in and cover it thickly with homes and farms." The evils that may arise from large holdings are greatly augmented when the holders arc aliens, for these have no interest in the prosperity of the country and no sympathy with our people and our institutions. It Is well that the Republican party has taken a decided stand in this matter and it is earnestly to be hoped that legislation may soon be had to remedy the abuse complained of. SriXLIM; KUOUM JIUI.V. After a long silence on the part of the spelling reformers, we are informed, by an official card, that the ninth annual mectin of the Spelling Reform association will be held at Hanover, N.

Tho following paragraph speaks for itself "llie members of the Association, and all ouier persons interested in Spelling Reform are tigently requested to be prezent.

When the supporters of any popular movement get down to the vacation Idea of pushing their doctrines, the public may be pretty sure that they are not ovcr-much iu earnest, or that the doctrines they advocate are not particularly popular. We have never been impressed with tho amount of real benefit lobe obtained from, or real results accomplished by, any summer convention, educational csnventions not excepted. Too much of the idea of play enters in to make the gathering efficient as working bod v. The ereal majority or those who attend, attend because the usual cheap rates of transportation, afford the means of enjoying an excursion nt very slight expense, Recreation and sight-seeing aro the first con suierauon, nnu me uusincss to uo accom plished is secondary. When a body of cdu oitors or reformers or philanthropists meet In the winter, they meet for business, and attend stiictly to it but let the same body meet in the summer, and it Is understood that, although the ostensible object is work; tho principal attraction is play.

A meeting of the Spelling Reform Association at any other time of year than mid-summer, might have Indicated a lively condition of the work but now tho Association voluntarily places itself nlongsido of vacation spiritualism and Concord philosophy. 'lobe plain, spelling reform is not and cannot be, a popular movement. It has too many things to contend with. In the first place, it has to face ono of tho strongest propensities or tno human mind tho love of humor. Ever slnco tho English language attained its present fixed character, ono of tho most effective forms of humor has been its perversion, aud oven great geniuses and world, famous writers havo not hesitated to make use of this popular form of humor.

Thack eray and Dickens havo convulsed their read crs with odd perversions of orthography in the speeches aud letters of their humorous characters. Iu our country there is probably no more popular humorist than Artcmus Ward and his writings aro almost wholly perversions of good old Webster's spelling, book. There something irresistibly lm- morons In Illilcrato spelling. It has crown to bo so tiy association, and is so, in part by tho very naturo of tho language. Now when we find educated men, In a card ad dressed to educated men, making use of such apparent Illiteracies as, "Thoze intend-ing to read papers wil pleaz giv crly nollcc," wo can not help smiling aud referring our.

selves to tho long.cstablished usages of Josh Billings and his mcrry-go casy school. Rid- Iculc is as natural as any other pro pensity of tho mind, and Insensibly educated people will ridicule tho out-landlsh spelling and frequent Inconsistencies of tho cultured illllcr.itci who arc trylDg to reform our dictionaries. Then, too, the spelling reformers hayo to contend with conservatism and tisago very strong mental habits, which will not '00 bro ken without a desperate struggle. It Is Impossible to resist tho aversion with which the cultivated mind views such uncouth forms of dialect as tho spelling reformers give us In their laboriously formed ortho-grapblc mosaics. The rcsolvo to havo noth ing to do with such a.dcsccratlon of nil tho models of English literature and writing springs naturally 111 tho mind.

There are scholais and men of sound common sense, wc must admit, among the ranks of the spelling reformers, but the great mass of ed ucated men and women In this country stand out ngnlmt tho movement. Tho time mnv come when a simpler form of spelling may bo required by tho people when, along with the general demand for labor-saving contriv ances, something snail uo required or our dictionary-makeis in reducing tho labor of acquiring the English language and tho clc. mcnls of a common school education. But that time Is not yet, and, furthermore, It stems to be ns far oil as ll ever was. Spell Ing reform has been pushed for long time.

but it docs not make much headway. Wo hope that tho members of the association will have a plensnnt time nt their meeting next July, and aud go homo with a profound sense cf the delights of vacation travel, and the charms of the country during the boil of mid-summer. HUM I.UIl.VT l'OUmKS AUK MADE. In the pood old times the man who pos sesscd million of dollars was accounted 1 Ciresus; am the great Astor who died "worth" five millions and who wns tho rich est mau on the American continent was ro gnrded as a perfect marvel of wealth. In these limes a man who has no moro than a million is not accounted rich, there nro scores of Americans who are richer than the orlciual Astor, and private fortunes ascend in size by easy gradations from the bumble possessions of the five mlllionnalre to Vandcibill's collossal fortune of two hundred millions.

In what man ucr these great fortunes arc accumulated is something of which the general public know but little. "Speculation" is the gen crnl nuswer to the question, but the term ii a very indefinite one, and of tho transactions It covers there is little knowledge. How some fortunes are made, however, and through what form of speculation, is very in slructlvcly shown by tho New York Jlten-imj Pout. It seems that eight years ago Jay Gould obtained possession of the -Missouri i'aciflc railroad by means of the foreclosure of a third mortgage for 000, and that he got a great deal of property for a very little money may be inferred from llie fact that tlnce the foreclosure securities of tills road to the amount of some 000,000 have been put on the matket. It is claimed, too, that tho foreclosure title upon which tho whole fabric rests Is fraudulent.

The foreclosure pro cecdings were conducted in the United States Circuit Court before Judge Dillon. They were resisted by the couuly of St. Louis, which had a lien of 5700,000, aud by some of thostockholdcrs.on the curious ground that the mortgage had been put on the road for the expressed pur. pose of forclosure. This merlgage on 280 miles of road, which was the "backbone" 'he system, it was asserted, was issued three months before foreclosure, and the coupons dated back to make the mortgage come down at an early day.

Parties representing St. Louis County were induced to withdraw their opposition to fie foreclosure on the assurance of lull protection to the county's interest, which has been established as a first lien against the property. The protesting stockholders, rer. resenting some of the $7,000,001) capital stock, a majority of it, were also induced to withdraw their opposition, on the promise that they should recelvo of the now slock iu tho new company to bo oigmizcd by Commodore Garrison, who has just mado an assignment, for whom the road was to bo bought, and who is charged with having been a party to the fraud. The plau of foreclosure and reconstruction, it is said, was that Commodore Garrison should buy in tho road, for tho benefit of all con cerned it was actually purchased by a third person, who bad been attorney for the old corporation, and turned over to a new corpo ration 111 which Commodore Garrison held most of the stock, Garrison, however, refused to redeem his promise made to tho New-York stockholders and to St.

Louis County. Tho county Hole its case to the Supreme Court, audits lien was sustained. Tho New Vork stockholders, Mr. Marie and others, brought suit against Garrisonfor dam-ages for breach of coutract, and their suit is still pending in the courts of New York. It will bo seen that their claim is for money so is that of St.

Louis county. But tho $3,000,000 stock which was supposed to have been wiped out by the foreclosure proceedings is still in existence. The minority stockholders, if the foreclosure was fraudulent, are entitled to have all the proceedings upset, and such a result would seem to throw a very serious cloud upon the value of tho whole $51,000,000 of securities which rest upon tills foreclosure. Some of the stockholders filed a bill of review insislioc that the foreclosure was fraudulent. The bill was demurred to, and the demurrer was sustained by Judge Dillon.

An appeal was taken to Washington and was thcro argued for the demurrer by ex-Judgo Dillon, now retired from the bench and practicing ns counsel for corporations more or less controlled by Gould. Tho Supreme Court, however, havo just rendered a decision supporting tho bill, and when we lenrn that ono of the allegations in It Is that the third mortgage, by means of collusion between tho directors and officers of the road aud the bondholders, was mado to fall due within three months nfler the bonds wcro issued, and that the stock was actually earning dividends nt tho time, wo can not bo surprised. If tho stockholders recover damages from Commodore Garrison, then they can recover possession of their prop erty by lipping up the foreclosure proceed ings, and vice versa. If the charges of fraud are sustained by tho Mr. Gould's Mlssouil Pacific has uo existence, and tho properly will be handed back to tho old com.

pany and tho old stockholders, and tho per-sons gullly of tho fraud will bo llablo to ac count for earnings and disbursements from Ibid down to tho present time. This suit connot bo brought to trial until tho autumn. iVuolhersuit kuown as tho Mario-Garrison suit, Is iu a far morn advanced condition. Tho complaint has been sustained on demur. rer In the Court of Appeals and was In pro- cess of trial befoio Professor Dwight when tho defence suddenly rcsortod to tho extra- ordinary device of asking for a writ of pro-hibitlon against tho referee to prevoat his going on with it, on tho ground that ho was exceeding his jurisdiction by converting tho suit Into an equity proceeding.

It wai also alleged that ho was protracting llio suit In order to increase his fees ns referee. Of course the Commodore's enemies say that this Is a mere scheme for delay, tho rulings of Mr. Dwight having been against him and tho ca9c threatening to result In a judgment for several millions. the pRKstivr or run jinnic.u, pro. Tho graduation of an unusually largo class of medical studonts from our Unlversl ty, and the admirable address of Dr.

A. V. King, dcllvcied at tho commencement exer cises, Monday evening, nml elsewhere printed lnabstract In our columns, very naturally turn the thoughts of our readers, this morning, to the subject of tho medical profession, a profession which has been growing in dignity and importance, within the decade, more rapidly, perhaps, than any other, and which, If present indications arc to be trusted, lias botoro It In comparison with which Its past is but an episode In the. history of medical science. But It Is not of the future of the medical profession, so much as of Its prcsent, that tho occasion Immediately botoro in is a reminder.

Whatever may bo said of 'h. achievements of the science of iiv uiu ten, twenty or fifty years hence, must ne-ccs-sarlly bo conjectural. Wo do not know what discoveries aro to bo made, whit relations searched out, what inventions np-plied, that will affect mcdiclno for the better. Thirty years ago who, In picturing the transmission of intelligence in a future ecncratlon, would have forecast tho telephone in its perfection, or imagined an instrument by which the vibrations of tho human i'cc might bo preserved and repeated lorn? if 11 the voice Itself was hushed forever? tan-not foretell what marvellous rcve' 1 may occur within the province ,1 medical science, as tho bright new faels uf life and energy aro mined out of darkness by human rcascarcb. It may be tint the whole future of medicine shall be changed by a slng'e discovery.

Methods In use nt tne present time may lie discarded by a not distant gen-cration, and all the brilliant achievements upon which our prcsent prophecies are based may be regarded as strange and labored victories over matter, gained unconscious of tho hidden energy waiting to be harnessed to the car of science. It is only of the present of any 6cicnco that wo are sure the future is dependent upon possibilities which we cannot anticipate. But the present of the medical profession is sufficiently grand to engross the thought of tho most enthusiastic believer in its possibilities. What it has accomplished is almost as much of an inspiration to the imagination as what it may accomplish, Indeed, there is prophecy in the present of medical science. It has already it we may venture so fa? beyond our purpose as to make the statement entered upon a stage of change, of revolution, of new life, new energy, new method.

The times are lipe for discoveries in medicine which will maik a departure from the entire record of it past. It may not be impertinent to mention somo of the indications which lead us to such a conviction, and which can-not but eventually bring about a great change in the science of medicine. The requirement of a thorough scientific education on the part of those who aspire to the profession of medicine, Is ono of the indications of the change which is taking place in tho science. Leaving out of the question the results which will follow such a policy in the future, which we cau not anticipate, the present, which we can know and estimate, gives evidence of a new power, a new element of success, growing out of this new fcatuic of preparation for the work. As the standard of scientific scholarship is advanced, the student enters upon life with an equipment which gives him, at the same time, larger and profounder ideas of his mission, and a greater command of facts and methods.

He will reason, where tho less thoroughly educated physician will only diagnose he will perceive, where Ignorance would be obliged to conjecture, and await results. His education enables him to arrive at conclusions, and to devise methods, which would never occur to a less thoroughly equipped mind. It is not conceivable that such a physician should not make discoveries, and that, having made them, he should not record them in scientific languge. The ituuuiiij iu luia uiiL-uiiuu is suuwii oy IUCW' liwnji uiuuiiuLiu, uicvauoi) great increase of medical journals during 01 people, right of tho or past icw years, and me admirable way which they are sustained by the profession. It is only necessary take up one of these journals, and glance at its varied table of contents, aud the long list of its contributors, to become convinced that scientific education is working wonders in the present of the medical profession, Such a symposium as one finds iu these would not be possible without our medical colleges, training Ihe mind of the student in the latest methods nnd researches of medical science.

The graduate of to-day must be a scholar In his profession. His cli ploma is as much an evidence of scientific proficiency as the diploma of tho academic college Is an evidence of classical attainment, Is there not prophecy in such a fact as this prophecy not unfulfilled, but being fulfilled In thu present of tho medical profession Another indication of change and growth In the medical scicuco of the day is Ihc abandonment of what aic known as the "old fogy" notions ot un older school of phys icians. It is remarkable how long these superstitions for they cnu be called by no other name have survived in the midst of tho scientific attainment of the modern school of physicians. That they aro Incon- sistent wilh the methods of nature, with the toiching of common sense, and with Ihe evidences of experience, has long been proved and yet in many instances, uourished by conservatism and habit, they have survived to the present day. There aro still physl clans of the eild school, who make no effort to keep abreast of the discoveries in thoir profession, hut cling to tho old melh ods and tho old beliefs.

They believo in mcd iclno as a synouymn for drugs, and conllnuo to practice tho old severities ol treatment up on their unfortunate patients. But the nd vanco of Ihe profession is fast leaving these old fogies In the rear and ono of tho most promising features of the present condition of tho sclenco of medicine, is the substitu tion of natural nnd scientific methods ot treatment for tho barbarous indignities of tho old-fashioned school. Wo might mention at length, did our space permit, tho appliances, thu instruments nnd tho exquisite skill which arc revolutionizing tho science of surgery. Wo might include, amoiig thu Indications of present progress In tho science of medicine-, thu study of tho science of prevention as primary to tho science of euro. This wo believe to be ono of the great thlngi iu storo for humanity through tho profession of tho medical 6tudeut.

Then) a ru scores of points at which tho light nf Impiovement and promise streams out fioui this benign profession of hosllng. But we have already said enough to show that the present o(lhe medical pro- fesslou Is tho most glorious period It has over known! that It holds within It, nlready do. veloplng, the germ of a progress which can. not yet bo estimated and, Indirectly, wo hopo that wo havo emphasized somonhat tho dignity, tho nobility, tho opportunity of tho medical profession. In tho past, It has not ranked, by reason of its own limitations and fnults, with tho higher professions of modern llfo 1 but in tho present, and In tho future, It docs and will staud abreast of every science nnd every art, vindicating Its right to be nmong tho chief ministers of good to tho human race.

Blaine's rcsl deuce, whero they were received by Mrs, illainc. As the day was oppressively hot aud the rooms of the mansion were crowded nluiost to suffocation, It wa3 suggested that tho presentation of the addresses bo made upon the lawn.

At an early stage of tho proceedings of tho con vention it became manliest that tho Re publican States whose aid must be in voKcd at last to lusuro success to tne llcitct earnestly desired your nomination. It was equally manifest that the de sire so earnestly expressed by delegates from those States were but a truthful reflection of an irresistible popular demand. It was not thought nor pretended that this demand had its origin in nny ambitious desires of your own or in organized work of your friends, but it was recognized to be what it truthfully is a spontaneous expression hv the free people of love and admiration of a chosen leader.

(ttatlilngton Correspondence llwtoa Advertiser. Somo days ngo Colonel A. F. Walker of Rutland wrote to Senator Edmunds, telling him ot tho disaffection, nnd asking him what tho State convention ought to do formally to bolt Blaine, utter an emphatic protest, or submit iu silence. The delegation deter mined to write a letter to bo rend at the con vention, counselling moderation and advising mat ulaluc, as tho party nominee, bo for mally indorsed.

Judge Poland prepared a draft of such a letter, and took It up to Mr. Jdmund8-8 house to re-ad it to tho others there. They listened to It in silence. It was a strong appod to the Vcmontcrs to sianet iirm by their party and elect Blaine, iuu mint ami aouiucrn questions were dwelt upou. But when the letter had been read no ono manifested a desire to sign it and tlicreby make it his own.

The two senators thought that It was too strong. 1 nny were willing to take a (Inn stand for the Republican cnuue, but had no ileire to appear a3 indorsers or sponsors of Mr. Blaine before their constituents. Mr. Edmunds wrote a draft containing his ideas.

Tnev wcro different from Judge Poland's in that tuey were lar milder. I he delegation talked the matter over aud could arrive at no form ot words which sat istlcd them all. Judcc Poland was the i'n' one who cared to go out of his wny lu say anything for Blaine. Finally, a very simple solution of the problem presented itself to them. What need was there of writing a letter at all They said to themselves that it would be almost pie-sumptuous to try to guide the action of Vermont, where the people are intelligent enough not to need outside direction in their convention.

This idea found favor. Tho idea of a delegative iciier wa3 given up. no letter was scut Judge Poland siys that he sent his own let ter, not as an answer to Colonel Walker, but ui uu reau uircciiy 10 tne convention. Air.

Ilnrinniiloilft Dcmnrrnllc Convention nt Tho New York Democratic Stale conven tion at Saratoea was called to order Wednes day afternoon by Daniel Manning, chairman ot tho State committee. William E. Smith of Clinton county, llie temporary chairman of the convention, in his opening address, laid stress on tho fact lint tho Democratic party had gained large accessions lo its ranks 110111 those or llie Republicans. He said the Democrats everywhere nro looking auxlouslv at the action of this convention. A rcsolu lion was passed recognizing the delegation iromjNcw loric county ns composed of 31 county delegates, 31 Tammany, and 10 Irving Hall.

in introducing the platform, Nelson J. Waterbury said that the candidate of the Democratic party for the Presidency must bo what tho candidate of the Republican party Is not loud npplause that ho mint bo emphatically what tho candidates of the democratic party havo been in I ho past. After referring to mlsgovernmvnt of the Republican party and tho oppoitunlty now offered the Democratic party, Mr. Waterbury read the following resolutions which were adopted 1 IXtmhrJ, That the Democracy of tho State of New York osiemMcd lo appoint In debates to the national convention, ciniulti to thoio delegate! in mioclntlon with tho representative. the na'tv irom me other stale-, the trencral declaration of Democratic principles upon national Issues, at tne sarnc time reOirlzinK th.H no Issuo can he more important man the election of a President of the I'nltcd Btalcs whose character aud reputation shall kivu 1,1 uiu wnoi'j pi'iipiu Hssnranco oi an nones', Impartial and efficient administration of the laws, without suspicion of personal end.

In accordance with the will of a majority of the mcmheiH thereof; every delciato or alternate occupying Ihc place of a itclegatc lo lie liotind oy this uile.

and In case of the absence of liotli delegates and alternates from any districts, the vacancy um mv oi iuu ueiega- lion. The list of delegates to tho national con vention and presidential electors was then read and adopted. Oswald Oltcndorfcr of New 1 ork and William Purccll of Mouroo wero selected as electors-at-large, and Daniel -Manning, Jdvnrd Cooper, hosier II. I-aulkncr and John C. Jacabs as delegates-at-large.

Ihcclfortsof Mr. Tildcu's friends to se cure for him the delegation eight years ago, and their success, have been somewhat paralleled by the friend3 of Governor Cleve land, snys the New York Timers Saratoga despatch. I here was this difference in the result! Tho delegnles were instructed for Tilden, the only instance of the kind In the history of tho puty in this State. The delegates elected to-day wero instructed to vote as a unite, though the man was not named ior wnom tney should vote. The result is practically tho same, 1110 claim 01 tho Manning managers is as well founded as it an- pears to be, for a majority of llie 72 delegates will name the choice of the de-location as whole, and the de-legates, by about two to one, aro in sympathy with Governor Clove land.

There was a small minority in 1S70, which went to uuicago, visited all the del- gallons of other States, and declared that 1 lldcn could not nossib rnrrv his nw State, though they wero compelled to abide ny tne unit rule and vote ror the man they hated so cordiallv. A small minority of this delegation may bo expected to pursuo. the samo course with reference to Governor Cleveland. It is not so formidable a minor ity as that which pursued Tilden, nor so de termined in its purpose. imong tne 7'J delegates elected to Chicago are John Kellev.

Abram b. Hewitt, August llebr.ont. TMmiril Cooper, while other names suggest a famous Democratic contest Another estimate of Ihe standiot of the del cgates is by the Tribune. The minimum statement of his strength is as follows As near as can bo ascertained there nre 41 Cleveland delegates, 17 distinctively anti Cleveland without avowed 1 anti-Cleveland for Flower, and Most of the unpledged delca preferences, nd 0 unpledged fiirnloo nrn ri-itu Brooklyn.
