MONTANA has citizen named Miss Given
Evans, who, as may readily be inferred
from her name, is by birth Welsh wo-
man. About a month ago she entered the
United States District Court in Montana,
and asked to have naturalization certif-
cate made out for her. The puzzled f1nc-
tionary settled his spectacles on his nose,
examined the applicant with surprise, and
then plunged into United States statutes, in
which be foundn legal reason why a women
should not be duly naturalized, and so Miss
Evans received her papers, with which
she boldly went to the Land Office of the
territory There she asked a clerk to make
out her declaratory statement TO pre-empt
one hundred and sixty acres of public land.
The gentleman, like the other, was some
what astonished by her request, but, ex
aiming authorities, he found no reason tC
repel the applicant, and her certificate was
duly filed as No. 1000. The energetic
lady then went to work on her newly ac
quired land and built a house, and sci
about to improve her farm, fencing it and
otherwise showing that, having it, she in
tended to keep it. She now has COW, {
yoke Of oxen. and all the usual farming
tools generally used by pioneers. Her lant
is Deer Lodge Valley, and some day The
Northern Pacific Railroad will run close tt
| it, making it quite little fortune.

THE MENHADEN FISHERY of Long Island
Sound takes rank among the important in
dustries of Connecticut. Fifty sloops, 100
sloop lighters, and many small boats, be-
sides one or two steamboats, in the hight
of the season, are employedin it. At least
$500 900 capital is invested in this indus
try. There are % factories situated on the
islands and along the shore, engaged in
pressing out the oil from the fish and pre-
pairing It and the residuum, which is used
as a manure, for the market. It is
calculated that five hundred sailors
and as many landsmen find oecu-
patton in connection with this fishery. It
has been the case that the manure alone
paid the cost of catching the FISH, as it is
almost as valuable as gUano, and 10000
tuns per annum is produced. The oil,
amounting to 500, 900 gallons, finds a ready
market and although large proportion Of
it is used in adulterating other oils, i'm
proved processes have rendered its honest
use of great value, as it is to some extent a
substitute for whale OIL Boat-builders and
sail-1nakers of course benefit by this grow
ing industry, and not less than $50. 900 fo1
nets and cordage are part of its annual ex.
penditure 1t is proyerbial that all fisher.
mems stories are not gospels; but some
credence may be given to the statement
that million of fish are occasionally
caught in a single haul.

VERMONT IN CoNGREss.-Thea act to
amend the bankrupt law, reported by
Judge Poland and passed by the House,
not only makes provision for the Terrific
ries, hut provides that in case of vacancy
in the office of District Judge in any dis
trict, or in case any District Judge shall,
from sickness or absence or other disabili-
ty be unable to act, the clerk of the Dis
trict Court of such district shall be au-
thorized or empowered, by leave or order
of the Circuit Judge of the Circuit within
which such district il included, to make,
during suob disability or vacancy, all nee
essary rules and orders preparatory to the
final hearing of all cases in bankruptcy.
Judge Poland, of the House Judiciary
Committee, has prepared bill repeating
the act of lS45, which extended the jul
risdiotion of United States District Courts
to certain cases upon the lakes, and navi-
gable waters connecting the same, and
leaving to the United States courts the
full exercise of admiralty and maritime
Jurisdiction given to it in the act of 1889.
Prior TO the decision of the Tennessee
Chief by the Supreme Court in 1851, it
had been held that the maritime jurisdic-
ton was restricted to waters affected by
the tides of the sea. This decision re-
versed long line of previous ones. and
held that the admiralty and maritime ju-
risdiction granted to the Federal govern
ment by the constitution of the United
States is not limited to tide waters, but
extends to all public navigable lakes and
rivers where commerce is carried on be-
tween different States or with foreign
nation. This decision has been repeated
ly affirmed by the court in several subse-
quent cases, and has now abundant au-
thority as well as substantial reason to
rest upon. 1t has been held in these
cases that the act of 1916 was wholly un-
necessary and useless for the purpose OF
comforting any jurisdiction upon the dis
trict courts, and that if it has any force
whatever it il only as a limitation and
embarrassment of the otherwise general
jurisdiction of those courts over all such
waters, so its repeal is to be recommended.

Universal Education.

1t is a generally admitted fact, that to
the most imperative and binding duties OF
a free government; and if so, that Its
advocacy is the duty of every individual
citizen. That is a cold, barren and aris-
tocratio philosophy which denies that it
is the duty of the State to provide for the
thorough education of all its children,
aud would leave entirely to the sons of
the wealthy those avenues to power and
position which knowledge alone controls.
The State, absorbed mainly in the idea of
material progress, its treasury guarded
by partisan politicians, has had millions
for works of doubtful utility, and millions
more for those who constructed and con-
trolled them while this great want of
every nation -this great need of a Repub-
ican people-has been comparatively neg
lected. Education is expensive; the nee
essary buildings, books, apparatus and
salaries of competent teachers are costly /;
but its value through the individual to
the State. is immense and incalculable
Private munifcence has thus far, to a
great extent, in our colleges and UNIVERSE
ties, made up the difference between the
cost of instruction and the amount re-
ceived for it while the State has too fire.
quently stood by with the cool indiffer-
ence of an unsympathizing and uninter-
ested spectator. The halls of science
the fountains of learning-should be ac-
cessible to all. We advocate no stinted,
niggardly, parsimonious doing out to
half paid teachers of just enough of the
public funds to give lean, elementary
education in the common schools not an
occasional gratuity, grudgingly given to
our higher institutions of learning; but a
rich, generous and even lavish expendi-
ture of all that is necessary to educate all
up to the highest point they have desire
to reach and the capacity to attain.
And when over the door of the porch
of the Academy and the portals of the
University shall be written by the State,
in letters of light Admission Free "
When, linked together, they shall become
one galden chain of influences, binding all
ranks, all classes, all creeds, in the bonds
of noble devotion to sound science and
good lerning; then will the highest ideal
of American education be realized and a
victory by the people for the people be
achieved, as superior to any ordinary party
triumph as mind is superior to matter.
These semnaries of learning, adopted by
Americans to their own necessities, will
be stripped of those traditional and inner
tied absurdities which now so often clog
their usefulness and limit their influence.
They will not confne to the few so called
learned professions, the instruction which
should be adapted to every pursuit and
suited to every calling. The farmer, the
mechanic, the merchant, the manufacture
er, the artist and the artizan, will be pro-
vided for as we'll and as thoroughly as the
clergyman, the lawyer and the physician
and the system so expanded and gene
rous, 20 practical, polite, and popular,
will challenge the admiration of the world
as the true American System of Universal
Education.

Snowy glacier and dizzy steep,
They bring our pulseless warrior back
Mid kindred dust TO sleep.
Why, Occident, return him thus!
With beating pulse we lent him thee
En- while. Oh why return him us
Wrapped in Deaths icy panoply!
Bland zephyrs from yon jeweled cline,
Came ye to him with poison fraught!
Was Upas blert with eglantine
To bring his noble powers to naught!
Sweet lakewood, to your tender breast,
Your cunning vines and flowers among,
Enfold his sacred dust to rest
Until the Master comes.
o, winds, blow soft and sweet refrain
To lullaby his dreamless sleep;
Our loss is his eternal gain
Then wherefore should we weep?
