lie Gives His Views of the South and of
Political Matters in General.
FT. WORTH, May 24.--The Gazette this
morning prints a four column interview
with Gen. Geo. B. Mcclellan, in which the
latter discusses matters freely. He is in
Texas in the interest of a syndicate of
New York capitalists who contemplate
purchasing body of land in Knox coun-
ty. He thinks the south in general, and
Texas in particular has made wonderful
progress since the war. He anticipated
that the Introduction of cotton factories
would advance the cotton states to the
premier position in the Union. The
Democratic party should come out square
ly for tariff for revenue only. Absolute
free trade was impossible. People
would not submit to the burden of pro-
lection longer. He believed the chances
favored the election of Carlisle for speaker
of the house, but spoke very warmly of
RandalFs ability and services. Tllden was
not IN the field as a presidential possibility,
and Cleveland was never a candidate. He
spoke warmly of Hancock and Bayard.
1t would not be surprise to him if the
former was again the Democratic nominee.
Butler and Dana were impossibiIities, as
lone but straight Democrats should be
honored. He further said that northern
capitalists were striving eagerly to possess
themselves of Texas land, and that cattle
raising was becoming contagious with the
northern people,

the masters and men at Pittsburg, and fol
that reassn lockout at Bayview mills,
near this city, is not likely to come with
the rising sun OF June 1. On the Other

is se-,e5 at Pittsburg, and President Pot
ter il IS thought, Will then demand
-eddctlon of wages, only
v4sa driven by his company
| wheA they find competition with eastern
firms too grea" There has been no secret
meeting and no decision to strike. The
Amalgamated association rules REQUIRE
that the scale of wages agreed upon for
the season be handed the employers one
week before June 1, when the scale takes
erect, and in accordance with such rule,
the men at Bayview gave Superintendent
Parkes the schedule for consideration last
evening. A private circular issued by the
Amalgamated association cautions the
men to be discreet and not push their op-
position to reduction too fercelv.
as the association cannot stand the drain
of large strike. The most
important question at Bayview is whether
the men can be paid every two weeks as at
Pittsburg and avoid the credit system at
the stores. The different circumstances of
the workmen at Bayview from those at
Pittsburg led them to believe the Amalga.
mated association should allow different
rules of government, and that there should
be system of districts introduced, each
district governed according to the needs of
the locality. The men at Pittsburg can
strike to advantage in the summer because
1t is too hot to work, but at Bayview they
can work comfortably and business booms
in July.
To be on the safe side, the Rolling Mill
company take no orders that cannot be
filled by June 1, and every preparation
has been made for shutting down, in case
the men refuse to work at reduced wages.
Since the company ask the reduction, and
not the men, it is called lockout, rather
than a strike. About LOO men will go
out when the doors close.
PITTsBURG, Pa, May PA telegram
from Chicago received by Secretary
Weeks, of the Western Iron association
this evening says that the men employed
in one mill there will continue work after
June 1, on a conditional scale. Other
western mills are expected TO do the same
and az this is against the rules of the
Amalgamated association,it it is regarded as
an Important advantage by manufactur-
ers.

FIGHTING THE RECEIVER.
The Land Ring at Mitchell Trying to In
culpate Receiver Barber
Especial Telegram to the Globe. I


Special Telegram to the Globe.
MITCHELL, D. T., May 24.-Since the
disclosures of land frauds reported to the
department last winter by Hiram Barber,
Jr., receiver of the United States land Of
fee, which eliminated in tho removal of
o. L. Letcher, chief clerk in the Office, and
son Of VIM. Letcher, the register, the
friends of the latter have been very bitter.
and have used every effort to bring dis
credit upon the receiver. Their latest
efforts consist of a series of contests
against relatives of Mr.. Barber's wife. who
have entered land in this district. The
case now on trial before Special Commits
s1oner w. L. Warren is that of Margaret
Morris VS.. Phelina McEwen, the latter
being daughter of Mr.. Barber's father
ln-law. The same ring consist
ing of Geo. Bidwell, dis
barred attorney, VIM. Letcher and O. G,
Letcher, have been the handspring in all
the contests, and their hands are shown
only too plainly by being the sole witness
es appearing against the claimants, while
they relterate the same story, alleging a
violation of official duty on the part of the
receiver. Another weak point in the case
for the ring is their failure to put any of
the contestants on the stand to testify.
fearing that facts might be disclosed show
ing that they were mere instruments in
the hands of the clique to strike blow at
Mr.. Barber. The evidence of Geo. Bidwell,
the chief witness, goes to show that Mr..
Barber accompanied by the witness and
some OF the formers relatives visited the
southern portion of the coun-
ty. They examined different pieces
of land, and finally some we're
selected and settlement made by digging
the four corners of a sod house on each
quarter section, and pasting notices that
the land was claimed as pre- emptions.
This land was never entered, but the part
les afterward took homesteads upon other
lands and these are the ones now under
contest. Valuable Improvements have
been made upon them, and the parties are
IN all respects bona fde settlers, while it is
now sought to sacrifice them to the
vengeance of the register. 1t is believed
on good authority that Receiver Barber
has other Irregularities occurring in the
land Office to report to the department for
action, in which VIM. Letcher and Geo.
Bidwell are implicated, and in that event
the case may assume greater Importance.

Il NEW FEATURE IN EDUCATION.
A number of influential ladies of New
York city, some two hundred in all, wives
of prominent citizens, have united in an
urgent appeal to the board of education to
make the teaching of plain sewing com
pulsory upon all girls from the age of ten
to twelve years who attend the public
schools. A plan Of teaching accompanies
the petition, and suggests that after reach
certain stage of proficiency the pupils
may bring to the schools sewing of their
own, and thus in addition to the instruc-
tion received, begin at once to turn their
training to useful personal account. These
ladies say in their memorial, and with
pertinency, that sewing is a more import
ant branch of education to the daughters
of poor families than drilling in arithme-
tic, geography or history. The suggestion
of these ladies is an important one, and if
the school authorities grant it hearty and
practical consideration will prove of
greatsand permanent importance to those
in whose behalf the effort is made. There
is in the public school system of this
country far too little that tends to create
an interest in the responsibilities and du-
ties of real life, and something such as is
suggested by the New York ladies might
be incorporated into the school systems
everywhere with great profit. A want of
the present generation is education in
habits of application, and the earlier
in life this can be impressed
the more useful to themselves and the
world, will be those who undergo the
proper training in that direction. Life is
real and earnest, and in addition to brain
culture there should be an incessant pGr-
pose among those who are charged with
the educational interests of communities
to open the gateway to all possible useful
development. Every boy should, at the
proper age, acquire some trade, and every
girl be instructed in domestic duties.
There are far too many idlers and butter
flies among those who are to be the future
men and women of the country. The high
est duty of the school, as we'll of the fami-
ly, is to train up the child in the way it
should go. Therefore, let ell efforts tend
to encourage the useful, the beautiful en-
courages itself.

adopted was like Pandora's box-a touch
stone of gold-her income from the sale

solely due to newspaper advertising, which
is the only method of advertising of any

CRITICISMS of a soldier and gentleman
such as Gen. Terry, emanating from that
drunken vagabond, George Fl. Butler, will
do him no harm. Butler has disgraced
every position he has ever occupied by his
debauchery and beastiality. Gen. Terry
thought to give him another chance to re-
deem himself by appointing him forage
master on the frontier, far from his old
associations, but was compelled to dismiss
him on account of his disreputable con-
duct. Now Butler turns upon his bene,
factor, with the instincts of cur, and
filings mud at him. Gen. Terry is to be
congratulated upon having secured the
enmity of such fellow.

PORTLAND, Maine, has clergyma n who

body to go to church Sunday mornings,
but, though the Sunday school is tte
place for some in the afternoon, and the
study of the best authors desirable and
profitable occupation for Others, yet for
the people, tho men and women closely
confined by their work during the week,
he prescribes walks in the open air, strolls
into the fields, or in pleasant parks, where
music can be heard and simple refresh
ments can be had. For Sunday evening
some of the churches ne would open for the
benefit of those who have no bomes,but for

teaches the Rev. Henry Blanchard, who
evidently has a mission to do great deal
of good in the world. The singular part
of it is that the man had the courage to
offer such counsel from New England

THE YOUNGEST CONGRESSMAN.


The next (48th) congress will contain
more young men than any previous con-
gress for quite number of years, and
much that is hoped for the country ought
to be developed by the infusion of new
blood. Probably the youngest man who at
any period, has been elected to congress
was John Randolph of Roanoke, Virginia,
who took his seat in 1910. The New York
Columbian of that time hands down to us
an anecdote of refreshing interest. Mr..
Randolph was elected to congress at the
age of twenty-five. His fellow citizens
considered him a prodigy and saw fit to
intrust their interests to his hands. Hav-
ing been elected, the beardless legislator
presented himself to take the oath and to
enter upon his duties. Mr.. Sedgwick, the
speaker, was so struck with his boyish ap-
pearance that with incisive sarcasm he de-
manded whether Mr.. Randolph was of age.
With the quickness of flash Randolph
replied, "Ask my constituents, sir, who
sent me here" The retort silenced the
stern old speaker, and astonished the
House, and MIR. Randolph's youth was never
again brought in question.
