LONDON. April 2.-In the Commons
Farnell said the recent report Of an in
terview with himself published in the
French papers was substantially accu-
rate. An interesting point in the state
ment is this: MEN say the British gov
eminent took the initiative step in the
kilmainham treaty, making overtures
to Parneil while in jail. They also say
the statement Of Lord Carlingford to
the effect that Parnell himself made the
first overture was inaccurate and untrue.
Gladstone, at the conclusion of Parneii's
avowal, endorsed the correctness OF
Carlin2ford's statement and refusal to
appoint committee of inquiry into the
subject.

party, from whence we know not,
started from here not many days ago
in search of the party of engineers
who crossed on to the reservation not
long ago. He returned Monday, hav-
ing failed to find his party, and fully
convinced that the weather is pretty
brisk to .'lay out" in. This gentle
man desires to. have, an atmos-
phere of mystery about him, replying
to queries that he did not wish his
name and business mentioned in the
paper. The party out surveying we
are told is a Northern Pacific one.
The rumor is that they were rnn off
from their work by the Grow gentle
men of the reservation.

Charles Noble, the man accused Of
grand larceny, clearly proved that the
horse he was accused of stealing he had
bought and paid for with valuable con-
sidcration. He was therefore acquitted
with all homer.
Next came Charles Peterson and james
Daley. who were said to have been dis
turbing the peace. Mr.. Peterson was re-
lieved of $14.25 in fine and costs, while
Daley went free only to be arraigncd on
the charge Of robbing Peterson Of

RESPECTFULLY DECLINED.


An enterprising Chicago advertising
agent wants to trade us for advertising
space one of these two-wheeled con-
traptions called a "road CART and
adds incidentally to his communication
that Democratic paper in Davenport,
Iowa, "has made over 5000, 900 mainly
by trade contracts for advertising
space" If this advertising agent eX-
pected to gain our confidence and favor
by exciting in our bosom the hope Of
sudden wealth, he has made mistake.
He has called at the wrong shop. He
has held out bait that cannot lure us
from the straight and narrow path of
duty. 1t is because we abhor riches
that we have persistently refused to
trade our advertising space for auto
matte mouse-traps and mis-fit cotfins.
1t is merely our fear of sudden and
great wealth that stays our hand from
writing an acceptance when an adver-
tising agent thrusts before us a propo-
sition to give us three gross Of horse
powders for two columns of space one
year next to reading matter, and a
forty-line notice among the editorial
paragraphs, to be changed weekly, and
half the price of the horse powders to
be paid in cash. We prefer to accu-
mulate money in the old slow and tedi-
GUS style. If we get rich in the news
paper business it will be by degrees,
and not suddenly. Sudden wealth
would startle us too much. 1t might
knock us off our equilibrium, and we
would sooner be poor and have our
equilibrium than be rich and not have
it. We are not sure what an equilib-
rum is, but we imagine man would
be unhappy without one, even if he
were rich. If we should make 5000, 900
by trading our advertising space for
patent can-openers and baking-powder,

never be good for business any more.
We should be struck with chronic
tiredness that would come on us in the
morning before we got out of bed and
hang to us persistently all day. We
know we couldn't make a good news
naner if we had the care of 5000. 600 on
our mind, and we shouldn't try. We
would sooner 60 on at our old rate Of
speed, laying by little from year to
year for old age or the spinal men
ingitis, whichever comes first, than to
have ourselves demoralized in one act
by deluge of wealth from trade with
an advertising agent. Besides, we
don't want road cart If any Of
our subscribers were to see us riding out
in road cart they would be sorry if
they hadn't gun along so that they
