Testing His Affection.

A mean trick was played on an Austin
darkey, Mr.. James Grow, not long since.
He had been paying attention to one of
uncle Nace's daughters, it being generally
understood that she was to get, on her
marriage, house and lot, which uncle
Nase has reserved. Uncle Mace is sly old
coon, and determined to test the genuine
ness of his future son-in laws affections,
so the other night, as they were smoking
their pipes, he said:
"Mr. Grow, have been cognatin ober
matters and things, and h,ss come to de
'clusion not to donate Matilda DIT ar house
an lot on Austin avenue, for de reason"
Mr.. Crow sprang to his feet in fine rage.
He pulled down his vest, and singing his
stove-pipe hat on one side of his head,
said:
In dat case, sab, our future relations
done ceases to exist, from this moment,
sah.''
''But lemme talk, Mr.. Crow, was going
ter say" ..>

All right Mister Crow. Our future re-
lations has done ceased ter exist, but only
wanted ter let yer know, dat dc reason

EXTRA-LEGISLATIVE ACTS.

ST. PAUL, Oct. 3.-Hon. Charles A. Gilman.
President Of the senate-sM: IT, In Ie'pon;e poe. 70 -,
information in reference to tho state raliroea
bonds, I have to inform you that 1883 6onds nave
been secured under the provslons 9t tne sa}11 s}119
ment act Of the last session. and the holders OF ~
bonds have signied their willingness TO accept tne
terms offered if the adjustment shoold be consum-
mated and new bonds issued
The State holds fifteen bonds and nave Deen
notified of the loss of fifteen, making 2,OSO traced
to ownership leaving 1875 unaccounted for, large
part of which, it is quite probable are LOST OK oe-
stroyed
Whether the agreements for settlement now In
my hands are binding or not, cannot say, out
am satisfied from my correspondence with the par
ties that they are ali ready and willing to carry out
the proposed settlement on their part II mado as
once
lJ.sS2,445 of new bonds to settle for the 2.O5O
bonds in hand and reported Whether per
cent bond will be accepted by the bondholders'
do not know,
They have agreed to accept = 5 per cent. bond.
or money on the basis Of the proposed adjustment
and if per cent bond can De ne negotiated at pa1
DER cent. bond; and If per cent. bond should be
Issued and it could be sold at premium. which Is
probable, then the State would save the amount OF
whatever premium might be realized. Assuming
that one-half the bonds not heard from may ultl-
mately be presented, the amount required to COM
plete the settlement would reach $4,OOO,OOO.
If the proceeds of the internal improvement lands
should be applied to the payment OF these bonds,
100000 might be used Immediately, thus reduc.
be reduced from the same source about S2OO,OOO
each year, until the internal improvement lands are
all sold and contracts paid.
If per cent. bonds should be accepted, the an
nual interest would amount to $148, 1000 the first
year and $1,000 less each succeeding year:
According to the provisions of the adjustment act
the interest is to be paid from the proceeds Of taxes
upon gross earnings of railroad companies, which
are increasing at the rate of 500, 900 year, the
$284,4sO, and for this year, 1898, ,460 If the in
terest should be met by direct taxato on. it would
require an increase Of the State tax one half OF
mill for each year. which rate would be decreased
thereafter as the assessed valuation of the State in
creased and the principal of the debt decreased.
Very respectfully, O. p. WH1TCOMB.
Auditor of State.

IT would seem that, short of political in
dependence Of England, the Irish land bill
is destined to remedy the greatest evil that
afhicts that Ireland. The tenant has right
to have fair rent fixed by the county Judge,
the land commission, agreement with the
landlord or by the arbitration. The rent
once fixed, the tenant cannot be disturbed
for Is years. In the last of the Is years
the process can be repeated, so that practi-
cally the tenant and his heirs and assigns
hold in perpetuity so long as they pay the
rent. The tenant can sell his holding for
whatever he can get for it, but the landlord
has the first right of purchase. The ten
ant who wishes to purchase his land out
and out can have the money advanced him
by the land commission. In the British
Isles Mr.. Gladstone may be said to have
organized a peaceful revolution Of the French
French type. The advantages which the
peasant secured, by arms, the peasant OF
Ireland can accomplish through the courts.
There is way provided by which the land
lord can be wholly eliminated.

and every particle of the product except
the stalk, is made to yield him its ultimate
profit. He has the fields in which he grows
