We can see no real reason for the alleged feeling
of jealousy said to be entertained by the Hon.
Eugene Higgins of the rising fame of the Hon.
George II. Sterling. We doubt if the Democracy
places any apprecably higher value on adog-hghter
than on a ballotbOx- stuileT. Mr.. Sterling has the
obvious advantage of having been rum-seiler'
but Mr.. Higgins ought to DO able to show qualinca-
tions for party confidence quite strong as that.

1t has pleased the advocates of the scheme to
put a railway in Flfth-ave. to argue at Al

sentimental. This is not true. There is, to be
sure, feeling among many residents of New
York that it is a credit to city to have one or
two beautiful streets; but the principal ohjec-
ton to this scheme is that it does injustice to a
large class of New Workers. Why should not

The report of the Commissioner of Indian
Affairs is encouraging. 1t favors the plan of
giving the red men their land in severalty with
such safeguards thrown about them as will
prevent their property from passing out Of their
hands and their own degradation into tramps.
This is good, so far as 1t goes, and has the
hearty approval of most students of the Indian
problem; but there are other points which the
Commissioner should urge-such as, for in
stance, the extension of the common law over
the tribes.

New York Tribune: J. K. Emmets's late es-
capade in the matter of overweening inebriation
has, / am told. brought about a severance of the
business relations between himself and his man
ager, Pniiip Eenncn. of Syracuse. Lehnen has
been taking Mr.. Emmett through certain por-
tons of the country, paying him q fixed sum
every week for the services of himself and his
company. The enterprise had been reasonably
successful up to the moment when MIR.

From that time Mr.. Lehnen was put '.
very great expense, and he determined to
have no more to do with so unreliable an attrac-
ton. He accordingly Cancelled his contract with
MIR. Emmett, and engaged Louis Aldrich TO fill
out the remainder of the engagement, which ID
still TO cover fifteen weeks of time. Mr.. Aldrich
also receives a certainty for himself and his
company, and he will employ 'Mv Partner az
the attraction of his tour. Mr.. Emmett will now
have to make out a new route in order to utilize
the services of his company, who are on his
hands for the remainder of the season. This he
will probably meet with little difficulty in doing
as soon as he shall have succeeded in getting
sober.

Joan of Arc Not Burned.
chronological Journal.

CHRONOLOGICAL journal.
History seems to be about to lose another Of
its favorite stories in the case Of Joan of Arc, as
documentary evidence of the strongest kind goes
to show that the old story of the burning of the
Maid of Orleans is a fable. There is proof that
Joan lived in the town of Hetz on
the goth of May, l436. She was then
recognized by her brother. There is a record
in the archives of Metz declaring her marriage
to one Robert dez Armoises, knight, and men
tioning the birth of two sons. Alter Joan was
married she was known IA Dame Joan, and
whenever she came to Orleans she was sumptu-
ously entertained with meat and wine at the ex-
pense of the town. There is a record which
materially assists this proof. and shows that the
town of Orleans paid her 2l0 livres as a rscom-
pense for services rendered during the siege.
1t is always difficult to believe that a king who
owed his crown to a mere girl could suffer her to
be burnt alive without raising his voice. 1t was
necessary that the English soldiers, vino believed
her to be a sorceress, should think she was
burnt, but Charles VII knew it was a farce, and
could, therefore, afford to remain passive. If
the statement that she was not burned cannot
be declared authoritatively, it at least may be
sufficiently sustained to clear considerably the
atmosphere about Rouen.

The Swiss Poor.
London Truth.

They do queer things in Switzerland, consid-
ering that the Swiss ~eulogize their country as
the land of liberty" The children of poor
people are regularly hired out by auction in
most of the cantons. There was a most painful
scene. recently, in the market-place at Bel, a
town near Berne, where. in spite of the heart,
rending entreaties of a widowed mother, her four
young children, ranging from two to ten. were
placed out for a year to the highest bidder by
the public crier, the family thus being broken up
and separated for fear lest the woman should be
compelled to seek for assistance from the town.
This is really very nearly as bad as the old slave
sales IN America. and l should doubt whether
there is any other country in Europe where
such an infamous system exists at the present
time.

our Boston delegation may have done o little in
the former line, in a harmless, artless sort of
way, have never, no, never-that is to say-well

Commissioner Sparks, of tie land
Office, has prepared statement of the
disposals of public lands and the re.
ceipts therefrom during the fiscal year
ended June 80, 1885. By this statement it
is demonstrated that Dakota leads all the
states and territories, 4,547,749 acres OF
government land having been taken by
settlers in our territory during the year.
Nebraska, our close neighbor, comes
next with 3,69S, 1881, and Kansas is good
third, having disposed of 3.030,S46 acres.
California is fourth, Montana fifth and
Washington sixth. In Dakota 790,693
acres of railroad lands have been
taken during the year, Montana
alone being ahead of Dakota in the dis.
posal of railroad lands, the figures for
that territory being 793,459. The total
Dakota acreage taken represents nearly
$4,000 farms and counting three persons
to farm shows an increase OF over 100.

GRANT IN 1876.

An Official Under Him COrrOborates
MIR. Child's Statement that the Gen
eral Said Tilden twas Elected.
When Mr.. George w. Childs men,
toned, in casual way, the other day,
that Gen. Grant told him he thought
Tilden had been elected, the country
was startled, says the Washington cor
respondent of the New York Sun. The
historical accuracy of the statement
was donbted, and the busy interviewer
began to ask questions of Mrs. Grant,
Fred Grant, ex-senator Chaffee and
others, to find if Mr.. Ohild's declaration
was true. These persons and others did
not remember hearing Grant say SO, and
doubtless the interviewer might find
several millions of people who never
heard Grant say anything of the kind;
but the important fact, nevertheless,
remains that he did make the statement,
not only to MIR. Childs, but to others.
