The Canton advocate. [volume] (Canton, D.T. [S.D.]) 1877-1897, 1880-07-29

Mr.. GLADsTONE's amendment to the
"Compensation for Disturbance bilw
leaves that measure as Objectionable as
ever. The chief objection to the first
bill was that men were prevented by it
from freely making their own contracts.
The bill is still left amenable to this
objection. 1t rests, not with the con-
tracing parties, but with court to de-
termlne what is reasonable" rent
for land in Ireland, and if the court
considers that the rent which the land
lord has seen fit to refuse is reasona-
bic rent, the tenant shall be awarded
such compensation as the court may
deem proper. Nobody would hold
land in the United States, or in any
other civilized country, under such a
provision, and iflandlords are s'evicted"
IN Ireland for charging too much rent
1t Is not very likely that their estates
will bring a high price. People in free
countries have always had prejudice
IN favor of making their own bargains;
end 1t is not likely that they will forego
this prejudice merely because Mr..
Gladstone has grappled with a oues-
ton which he is not strong enough to
master.

What Has Happened Since 1910.
Lippincott's Magazine

1t is not too much to say that no
great invention which had not its be-
ginning in the decade of 1840-5O has
appeared in the past thirty years. In
that period occurred the most eignal
development of the application of
chemistry to manufactures and agri-
culture; an enormous expansion of
commerce by means of railroads and
ocean steamships; the discovery of
either, and the perfection and diffusion
of some of the. most precious contri-
buttons ever made to the welfare of
mankind. In 1885 only 984 miles of
railroad had been completed in the
United States; in 1910 they had been
nearly trebled (2,s1s); in 1s45 they had
been nearly quadrupled l3,768). In
1885 Boston was connected with Wor-
cester, and Baltimore with Washing
ton; from Philadelphia the traveller
could go no farther west by rail than
the Susquehanna at Columbia. In 1889
Ericsson brought over the propeller to
these hospital shores. In 184O the
Cunard line of ocean steamers was es-
tablished, but for n time only "side
wheelers' were tolerated. The first
regular ship, the Britanllia, reached

SUMNER RESORT FOR WORKING.
WOMEN.
Chance for PhilanthrOpist to I'm
mOrtaliZe Himself.
Lake Geneva Journal

Lake Geneva Journal.
You good, rich men, who have build
ed such beautiful cottages here, who
own the railroad and the land sur
rounding this wonderfully beautiful
lake, whose waters are pure enough
to be made of dew-drops, make your
selves immortal by building here a
, summer home for wQrkingwomen.
Most of these women-not "shop girls
are compelled to stand at their work
from s in the morning until six at night
with only an hour for lunch), the
whole year round. Many are break
ing down under this hard and constant
strain of nerve and muscle. A matron
or housekeeper to take charge of the
beds and linen is all the help needed.
Each can care for her own room. You
would be surprised at the little cost
that would be involved compared to
the amount of real good done to this
most worthy class Of workers. If your
business men would make beginning,
even if you charged moderate price
for board, and one-third rates for rail
road fare, you would make sunshine
and hope all through the dark days of
the year. The thought that they could
sit hours each day for month under
the trees and watch the shadowing
pictures on the grass, made of sifted
sunshine, with no care, or thought of
work: that their meals would be spread
with good, plain food in large airy
place instead of the hurried bench in a
hot, smoky smothering room; that
the cheapness Of sailing on that 'queen
of a lake. would offer opportunity for
all, these, and kindred thoughts would
quicken the tagging strength; would
brighten the heavy and sad eyes; would
rest the tired-out body and brain,
every hour of the working days. We
do not ask you to build a hotel in imi-
tation of A. Il. Stewart, who so signally
and lamentably failed, but we do ask
you to make a plain, substantial cot
tage, with accommodations for 500,
near one of the hotels which could sup
ply the table, and let the management
be given to somebody "tried in the
balance" of honesty, and mot found
wanting" None but those who are
self-supporting should be permitted to
enter, and none to stay longer than a
monty. The building should be open
ed .ne 1st of June, and closed the 1st
Of October. This would give chance
for all, school teachers included. None
of exceptional character should be ad-
mitted. This would be an institution
like those now doing more good to this
class of women in the cities of New
York and Boston, than perhaps any
other. Chicago is soon to be the rival
of, if it does not outgrow New York.
Those who found her institutions will
be among those who do not die, when
the body is laid away, for their work
will live on to bless their memory.
Who will lead the enterprise?

dogs had brought the hogs to bay. The
rest of the hunters now arrived with All

dogs had brought the hogs to bay. The
rest of the hunters now arrived with all
the dogs, and the fight commenced each
one urging his dog to seize a hog by the
ear, and, watching his chance, would
jump astride of him, and holding on
with one hand, would put his deadly
blows over the head with his club, and
as soon as down, out with his butcher
knife and plunge it up to the hilt in the
hogs throat-then off for another. The
chase and slaughter are thus kept up
for mile or more, or until the dogs
and men are tired out, or all the hogs
killed, when we retrace our steps and
make arrangements for gathering up
our game.
We have seen a stout hog bound off
through the woods with his rider while
the dog was fast to his ear, and carry
both considerable distance before be-
ing killed. The sport is ludicrous in
the extreme, as well as being attended
with considerable danger; and unless
one is familiar with it, he is pretty apt
to get severely hurt by the side wipes of
the hogs long tusks. When we engag-
ed this drove the fight was exciting and
furious. As for ourselves, though not
a coward, we must confess that we often
preferred to take refuge up sapling
and watch the fight than to participate
in it. The day was far advanced when
the sport ended. We all assembled and
built large fire and proceeded to drag
the slaughtered hogs into camp, which
proved a very laborious job. When all
the killed had been brought in, We
counted eleven large, fat porkers. 1t twas
now near dark, and we concluded to
camp there for the night, returning to
where we had left our provisions in the
morning. On first discovering the game
and bringing it into camp, we hung up
the hogs to have them ready for trans
portation. We cut out tenderloins and
broiled them on the live Goals, and en-
joyed hearty supper and breakfast.
During the night we were awakened by
a pack of wolves which had assembled
on a neighboring hill to give us grand
serenade. We could not see them, but
should judge from the great noise they
made, there were fifty at least, and had
we not eight or ten stout dogs and
farge fire, they would doubtless have
made an attempt to capture and carry
off our game.

A PIrTsBURGH dispatch says the develop
ment of the coke trade which is now one of
the leading interests in this section, has
been simply marvellous during the past ten
years. Only few years since the manu-
facture of coke was confined to very few
firms, and some of them had trouble in
disposing of their product Pittsburgh coke
is shipped to all parts of the country, and
even in the anthracite regions it is in de-
mand. Census statistics show total of
6,60l ovens, averaging one man for an
oven. Excluding miners who dig coal to
supply ovens will give an aggregate of fover
5000 employees. 1t is estimated that the
product of each oven is $50 bushels per
week of six days. This would give an ag-
gregate product of 35l ,53S bushels per day,
or more than lOO,0OO,00O bushels per year.

ABEDDIN PAsHA, the able Albanian
Minister of foreign affairs in Turkey
may not have been the auther of a
proclamation calling on the Albanians
to resist the cession Of any part of their
territory to Greece or Montenegro,
which has just been issued and which
cable dispatch to-day declares that he
has repudiated. But it is no secret
that Abeddm Pasha regards the cession
OF Albanian territory to Greece and
Montenegro with disgust, and if as
chief of the Turkish government he
simply declines to employ the Turkish
army in compelling the Albanians to
submit to such Il cession, he will put
the great powers into very awkward
dilemma.
