From speech in the Detroit Lime Kiln

''De secretary, accompanied by de bar

He was toted. He had come prepared to

The Revolt Against science.

Philadelphia Times: The scientists, by
virtue of the superstitious reverence for their
assumed superior wisdom which has come
down from former ages, have contrived to
maintain their hold upon the popular mind
longer than many of the other classes, but
their reign also approaches its end. Their
theories may have served well enough in feu-
dial times, but mems minds no longer consent
to be bound in chains to serve their selfish
purposes, and Mr.. John Jasper, in raising
the standard of revolt against an e6ete des-
potism, has taught these doctrinaires of
physical science that the majesty of the
American people is not to be curbed and
measured by their petty rules. Their school
made theory of the earth revolving around
the sun has been tried in the balance and
found wanting. So far from benefting MN
kind it has brought nothing but misery, and
every effort to adjust the operation of the
world to this narrow scheme has but made
the rich richer and the poor poorer, until
men will stand it no longer. Let them be
warned IN time, and abate some of their
hanghty pretensions. If they do motif
they shut their eyes to modern progress and
attempt to oppose the great uprise by an ap.
peal to CopernIcus and Newton and other
forgotten teachers of times long gone by,
they and their hide-bound prejudices will be
swept away together, and the people, arising
in their might, will send the sun and the
planets whirling around the earth at a speed
which not all the skill of the scientists will
be able to control

how to compound pudding is more desir-
able than she who skillfully compoundeth
poem.' But this relic of the barbarous
ages Is changed. Women are admired now
Just in proportion to their ability to walk
in the academy and discourse upon philosophy
and God al care not, said Byron, 'how blue
the stocking, provided the skirts are long
enough to cover it, The desire to leave be-
bind us a name which shall exact the praise
of generations unborn, whose censure OF
whose adulation we can in no wise feel
or know. has been considered by some as
kind of splendid Madness" ''But others,
of more benevolent views" says DR.. john
son, ''have looked upon it as a fame lighted
by heaven" which continues to enllghten
the soul, and burns with inextinguishable
luster in enlarged and elevated minds. The
soul which aspires to the companionship OF
angels looks away beyond the limits of the
hour, and beholds itself cooperating with
future ages, moulding and fashioning SUI
perior destiny. Such a mind will reproduce
itself through thousand generations; for it
throws the chain of its existence across the
abyss of coming time, and keeps its messen-
gers travelling to and fro upon it to light the
| nations onward to their fate.

Judge J. L. II. sneed.


GENTLEMEN-It cannot be denied that the
results of the nominations of the late judi
cial convention have disappointed very much
the wishes and expectations OF the many
friends of Judge Sneed throughout the State.
1t Is sad result of the work of the conven-
ton system, in its efforts to respond to the
Judgment of the intelligent people of the
State. In the State of Tennessee there is not a
more courteous gentleman "a ripper bellies Lettres
scholar, purer or more upright judge, a
more attentive officer to his duties, and few,
If any, ADLER lawyers than Is the subject of
this article. Having served In the Mexican
war and the war between the States, his
patriotism is as bright and refulgent as that
of any man living. Though defeated by the
convention for the place he has held for the
past eight years, the duties of which he
has performed with singular fidelity and
ability, he is yet the favorIte of the people of
the State, and they cannot afford to give him
up or lose his services. He Is IN sympathy
with the people of the State. He would GER
tainly promote settlement of the State debt,
on terms as just to the people and as fair to
the bondholder as was possible. While he
could not favor reputation, he knows the
history of the State debt. He knows the ex-
hausted condition of the resources of the
State. He knows that the State, by the late
war, lost all her stock In the old State banks,
and the school fund. He. knows that it has
SluCo CIOScu HeT On Tue Tdll-
roads and turnpike companies, and applied
the proceeds toward the liquidation of her
bonded Indebtedness. He knows that it has
nothing lift but her Statehouse, her asy-
lums, and her penitentiary system. The lat
ter the bondholders eau take with the good
will of the people, and with its labor forces,
provided they will not work the convicts in
competition with our mechanical labor, which
no just government will or ought to permit.
He knows that the State, by the war, lost its
slave property, amounting to one hundred
and twenty million dollars. The tax upon
this wealth would have paid off this debt
without embarrassment to the State. Judge
Sneed knows all this, and knowing it, the
people can safely con6de in him, without an
inquiry as to whether he is for high or low
tax. He will certainly favor any adjustment
of the State debt consistent with the honor OF
the State and justice to the bondholders. The
writer therefore proposes his name to the
convention of the people of the State as a
candidate for governor at the ensuing cleo
ton CITIZEN

The Old Fort Dearborn Reservation
Claim indefinitely ROstDOned.

WASHINGTON, May 31.-The following
written report submitted to the senate
by Senator Bayard to day, from the COM
mittee on private claims, treats exclusively of
the alleged presumption claims of the heirs
of Jean Baptiste Beaulien to the lake front
portion of the old Fort Dearborn reservation,
at Chicago, making DO reference to the re-
naming propositions of Senator Mathews s
bill for confirmation of title to the purchasers
Of other portions of the reservation. and for
grant to the city of Chicago of the streets
and alleys laid out on said reservation.
These claims will be acted upon by the COM
mittee IN connection with separate bills in
troduced by Senator Davis and others. The
following conclusion Of the report, however,
lays down some principles OF general apph-
cation: "a careful reading of the statutes of
May 3, 1898, and April q, 1876, leaves no
room for doubt that it was In the power of
the United States to reserve for Its military
purposes any portion of the domain, as
might seem necessary or convenient; that
there was reservation and appropriation of
land to government uses now claimed by the
heirs of Beaulen; and there can be no doubt
that 1T was occupied by the troops of the
United States In 1904, and that they contin-
ued In possession, with some brief intervals,
and never releasing at any time, for many
years-at least as late as 1s39-when the sec
rotary of war directed the sale of portions of
the reservation, This occupation being an
appropriation by law, it follows that BeaulIen
and all other persona on the land were there
at the sufferanee and under the jurisdiction
and permission of the United States, and as
a consequence clearly could acquire no rights
of settlement or pre-emptlon adverse to
the government, or in any manner
prejudice the United States as to the
manner in which the lands should be dis
posed of after the reservation should become
useless for its purposes. This disposes of any
right to make presumption claim to land by
reason of settlement and cultivation during
military occupation of the post by the United
States. A further ground urged is that even
if the occupation and appropriation was valid,
the United States lost all the rights they may
have had. because from 1919 til BIG they
abandoned the post 1t must be rer embered,
however, that this abandonment " not vol

How a Weary WaYfarer AstOnfshed q
Nevada Woman

Virginia City Chronicle, May 10th: A lady
residing In the vicinity of the Lady Bryan
mine, in Six-Mile canon, while attending to
her household duties last Thursday morning,
was addressed by seedy-looking man, who
asked for drink of water. He was evident
ly a tramp, yet there was an air about him
that bespoke gentle breeding. He drank the
cup of water handed him, and, looking into
the house, saw an opened piano. Apologize
ing for the liberty, he asked permission to
play on the piano. His request was granted
by the somewhat astonished lady. Seating
himself at the piano, and removing the
music-book from the rack, he opened with
Taneredi, which he followed with half a
dozen gems and grand operas. Without
even pause he changed off into sparkling
airs from the Grand Duchesse, Girofle Cir
OLA, and other comic operas, finally winding
up with the allegretto of Beethoven's SYM
phony in A. He played for nearly an hour,
yet, during that time, the lady of the house,
once music teacher in this city, sat amazed,
and, as she says, ''entranced." She en-
deavored to lead him into a conversation
over his past history, and asked him why he
did not practice a profession for which he
was so eminently fit, but he refused to speak,
and in reply to inquiries merely said that he
was poor and in search of work. After par
taking of good meal, in payment for which
he split few logs of wood in the yard, he
continued on his way down the canon.

Hamlet a Hundred years Ago.

A Berlin audience saw Hamlet for the hrst
time hundred years ago last week. In the
North and South Rudolph Genee has an ar
ticle in which he draws a graphic picture OF
the manner in which the play was produced
and received at that time. Wieland's trans
lation, adopted by Schroeder, was the one
used. In the play as first produced at Ham
burg there was no "Laertes, no "Rosen-
crantz," although 'Guildenstern" was re-
tanned; the meeting of Hamlet with the
players was pushed along into later act; the
grave-diggers were discarded; "Ophelia'
was not buried; there was no duel of course,
since there was no ''Laertes, and Hamlet
survived the denoneDse,t The play was
divided in SIX acts, and the names of the char
acters were greatly changed. Some of the
discarded parts were restored when the trag-
edy went to Berlin. The graye-diggers and
Hamlet" have their conversation, although
the burial scene is omitted; 'Laertes" is re-
Vived, but the duel is still rejected, and
Hamlet" survives. n. Geneee says that if
the man Hamlet" had been allowed to die
the tragedy would have had short life on
the German stage, instead of holding the
honored position which it does to-day.
