Is Grant a Mere LObbyist2

Fire could not burn the belief out of
the minds of very many people resident
on the Pacific coast that Gen. Grant re-
ceived pecuniary consideration for his
influence in inducing President Arthur
to veto the Chinese BILL However that
may be, the late Generalissimo of the
Union army has dropped into very
devious and degrading ways. Some
time ago Sir Edward Thornton, acting
as umpire on the joint American and
Mexican Commission under the treaty Of
1868, made two large awards against
Mexico and in favor of citizens of the
United States. Mexico asked for a Sec
ond argument before the umpire, and
got it, but the decision was the same.
Mexico appealed to the United States
not to insist upon the payment of the
awards, on the ground that the evidence
upon which they were made was false
and fraudulent. 1t was answered that,
six years and more having elapsed from
the inception to the decision of the
cases, ample time had been allowed to
sift the evidence and to contradict it, if
that had been possible; the trial had
been fair and open one; the umpire
had given Mexico two hearings instead
of one; the treaty stipulated that all
awards should be final and conclusive,
and should not be again questioned upon
any pretext whatever. Nevertheless,
Congress, upon the application of very
singularly constituted Mexican lobby,
which seemed, like Dodson and Fogg, to
have the cease on spec," requested the
President to hear the parties, and if
there appeared to be any foundation for
the allegations, to withhold from the
claimants the installments already paid
by Mexico, until further action. The
investigation was had; the State Depart
ment could see no reason to interfere
with the awards, and the money was
handed over to its owners. 1t was,
however, very small portion of the
sum due.
But now, as we are told, come Gen.
Grantand exp Postmaster General Creswell
upon the scene, and upon their prompt
ing secret treaty is said to have been
negotiated with Mexico to confiscate the
awards to American citizens, ,and destroy
rights of property as completely vested
as IT they were secured by judgment
OF the Supreme Court. If disturbed at
all, itmust be under the power to take
private property for public use, and it
involves, of course, the obligation of
the United States to make just compen.
sation.
Mr.. Creswell has long been conspicu-
GUS in this disreputable Mexican lobby,
as be was long before conspicuous in the
most disreputable doings of the corrupt
Grant administration. But what is
Grants purpose in meddling? Is he to
be paid part of the specific booty to be
obtained by plundering American citi-
zens! Or is he merely serving Mexico
in the Washington lobby by way of
cheap payment for grants and privileges
accorded him and his fellow spectators

AT the February meeting of the North
American Poultry Association, after
regular business, the subject of incuba
ton was thoroughly discussed and the
following ideas substantially established;
The only way to raise chickens with
certainty for early markets is by the use
of incubators. A good incubator will
hatch from seventy-five to eighty per
cent. of the eggs put in it, and people
living in the cities who have not room
to keep hens can use incubators sue
cessfully, getting eggs from grocers OF
farmers near by With special care 20C
chick ems can be raised to market size in
a room fifteen feet square; and the bust
ness of raising poultry is particularly
adapted to ladies and intirm people,
both in city and country. Live chickens
from eight to twelve weeks old will sell
in the East in April, May, June and
July at from 40 to IS cents pound, or
from 81 to 81 so each, according to va
riety and condition. OF course, they do
not command such high prices in Cali
fornia, but their raising admits of large
profit, nevertheless. As the mass of
people are ignorant of the profits of poul-
try raising, cannot afford to buy expen-
sive incubators, and do not know that
they can make a good cheap incubator
themselves, with which to hatch both
early and late chickens, the following
resolution was adopted:
Resolued, That the Secretary of the
North American Poultry Association be
authorized to inform the people through
a leading newspaper in each State that
plain directions and diagrams for max
ing good incubator, such as they can
make at home at cost of less than S.,
and that will hold $50 eggs, can be OBJ
tanned by addressing our Secretary, en-
closing two three-cent stamps for return
postage.

tons statements in late American
Register deserve very serious attention.
A former President, with one of his
most notorious lieutenants, at the head

account of another addition to the MANY
scientific wonders of recent years. Herr
A. Gentilli, of Vienna, has invented an

bination of delicate levers and blades
which, placed upon the tongue and lips
and under the nostrils of the speaker,
are vibrated by the movements of the
former and the breath flowing from the
latter. The vibration is transmitted to
pencils, which transcribe the several
signs produced by the action of tongue

From lIarper's Weekly.l

One of the political surprises Of the time
is the recent great majority of the popular
vote in Iowa, by which the following amend
ment to the Constitution of the State has
been adopted:
.'No person shall manufacture for sale, or sell or
Keep for sale as q beverage any intoxicating
liquors whatever including ale, wine and beer.
fhe General Assembly shall by law prescribe
regulations for the enforcement OF the prohibition
herein contained, and shall hereby provide suita-
bile penalties for the violation OF the provisions
IN ereof.
That drunkenness is the cause of vast
proportion of the crime with which every
community has TO deal. and that it increases
taxes enormously, were facts universally
known, aud the long crusade against intcm-
pcrance and liquor selling is familiar. The
Maine law, the local option law, various
forms of prohibtory and license laws, have
been adopted in various parts of the country.
| Reports Of their efficiency have differed, and
| the debate has been constantly renewed,
stimulated by praying bands and damage
acts. II has been very difficult to estimate
accurately the effect OF this various agitation
upon public opinion. But the recent vote 10
Iowa shows how profoundly the public mind,
in that State at least, has been stirred, and
the result is unquestionably the most
important event in the history of the temper
ance agitation.
| The amendment is an absolute prohibition
both of the manufacture and sale Of oil
spirituous and malt liquors. 1t forbds not
only the sale of glass of wbiskey oxer the
counter, but of box of claret at store. 1t
closes the lager-beer saloon, as well as the
Office of the wholesale dealer. 1t is meas
ure more complete and radical than the most
teetotal prohibitionist probably believed TO
be possible and the majority is reported to
be very large, so that there is no doubt of
of Iowa is 1884, 0l5, of which only 2Gl $3.50
are of foreign birth. OF the foreign born
sS, eos are Germans and A, 06l are Irish.
The number of men of voting age in the
State is 41G,95S, and of these there are
leo, 1903 who are foreign born. Iowa is
essentially rural State Its three largest
cities have an aggregate population of less
than 10000. These facts and figures largely
explain the result. The cities, excepting
Dcs Moincs, voted against the ameniment,
But the country voted for it. The liquor
interest is understood to have struggled
strenuously against the measure, but 1t is
the deliberate opinion OF one OF the most in
telligent OF American communities that the
traffic in intoxicating liquors should be
abolished.
| II now remains for the Legislature to pass
laws to carry the amendment into effect,
and il is here that an effort will be probably
made to mollify in come way the strin-
gency of the prohibition. But the decided
feeling that has been shown will:affect the
election Of members of the Legislature, and
unless there should be some reaction from
the very completeness of the present sue
