Defeating the Anti-Treating Law.
[San Francisco Alia.l

A Carson New man has gone and invented
a machine to avoid the anti-treating law, which
has been dead failure thus far. A huge chunk
of ice is slung in tho center of revolving table,
and beverages. beer, whisky, &C.. are placed all
over it. The citizens draw up their chairs all
around, call for their drinks, and the game
commences by the twirling of the revolving
wheel or table. Whatever stops in front of
each ones chair he must drink. and whoever
fails to do so has the whole circle to pay for.
The excitement grows more and more intense
as the game progresses, and many substantial
Carsonite goes homo to bed drunk.

gerOus man and must be regarded as an
enemy OF society.
1t is claimed that there is no proof that
those who attempted to wreck the Parlia-
ment buildings were Irishmen. That IS
true. but the fact that the explosives
were so placed that had Parliament been
in session there would have been a fear
full slaughter of the Liberals and that Mr..
Parnell and his friends would have
escaped harm, is advanced as reason
for thinking that lrishmen planned and
executed the outrage. The fact that Par
lament was not in session does not cast
doubt upon this view of the matter, be-
cause it is probable that it was the origi-
nal intention of the dynamiters to destroy
the buildings while Parliament was in
session, and that they were prevented
from carrying out their intention by some
unforeseen circumstance. The original
PLAZA, however, was carried out probably
in every respect except in the matter of
time.
But whether or not Irishmen are re-
sponsible for last Saturdays nefariOus
work. this country cannot afford to hest
tate to do all it can to suppress the dyna-
miters. Unless the tendency Of those who
think they have a grievance to make war
on society with dynamite is checked, the
experience which England is having with
this terrible agent of destruction may be
our experience in the near future.

An Interesting Claim

There is no better illustration Of the
way that the government is often imposed
upon to the extent of millions of dollars
bv the indifference and carelessness of
those whose duty it is to protect the pub
lie interests than is presented by kidwell
Flats case.
The Kidwell Flats are in the Potomac
river. abreast of the Washington monu-
ment. In 1867. through the friendly aid Of
the Commissioner Of the Land Office.
a patent was ISSUED to John l..
KidweH for that portion of the
flats which the Kidwell heirs now
claim. The patent cost $50, and at
the time it was issued it was regarded
of 40 value. because it was not thought
that the Commissioner mad right to issue
it. 1t was considered that all the made
land belonged to the city of Washington,
as the city owned the land along the
river bank. Nothing, however, was done
10 anuul the patent. In 1870 the question
Of improving the flats began to be agi-
tated. and at that time the Kidwell Flats
could have been condemned at cost Of
500.
In 1881 a bill was introduced m Con-
gress to improve the flats because they
were regarded as deleteriOus to the health
of Washington. and in the bill provision
was made for aunulling the kidwell claim
bv a suit in equity. The bill did not
pass. In 1882 an appropriation of 100000
was made for beginning the work OF I'M
provement, and in the bill making the APP
preparation it was provided that the At
torney General should see that the gov
eminent secured valid title to the flats
even if suit Ior that purpose became
necessary.
The Attorney General concluded that
he had no time TO bother with the flats,
and. as il was desirable TO begin
the work of improvement at
once. he decided that if the
KidweH heirs had no objection, work by
the War Department could be begun at
once, and the question OF title could be
settled AT some future time.
4 few days ago the Attorney General
received from the War Department no.
tice Of the amount of work done and a
request to furnish some information with
respect to the title to the flats. Inc At
torney General had done nothing about
the title. and so reported.

what terms they will settle with the gov
eminent if they should succeed in MAIN
tanning the commences Of the h'dWell
patent. In Washington it believed that
the title 30 the Kidwen Flats Will cost the
government millions OF dollars.
The improvements by the govern
ment will cost several millions,
and when they are completed the reclaim

OF money. This case is not calculated
to give the people a very lofty idea OF
their public servants, and yet there are

Smnnrcss The Dynamiters

O-DOuOyan Rosa and his followers are
renOrted to have been made thoroughly
happy 10y the attempt to wreck the Par
lament Houses and the Tower Of London
by the dynamiters.
There is no law to prevent the Rosa
gang from rejoicing over horrible crime,
where only people the dynamiters did not
care to harm were injured, but there
ought to be a law to prevent the dynam-
tiers from using this country as the base
of operations in their deyillsh work.
The speeches at the meeting of the So
cialists at Chicago Sunday are signih-
cant. Those who read them could hardly
help wondering, perhaps, how long 1t
would be before dynamite would be used
in this country by those who ior any
cause may become dissatisfied with the
existing order Of things. There are per-
sons in Chicago, and, perhaps, IN every
city in the country, who would gladly
avail themselves of an opportunity to war
upon society with dynamite. They lack
| the industry to make place for them
selves in society and the courage TO en-
gage in open warfare. They are nit only
| TO war secretly upon the deienseless anu
helpless. Ii is a grave question whether
! they are not mentally diseased.
That the use of dynamite is to be feared
in this country is shown by the finding OF
twelve boxes of dynamite in the Chicago
City Hall day or two ago. The man
who placed the dynamite there tells a
rather curious story about it, but how is
it to be determined whether or not he tells
the truth?
The attempts with dynamite in London
will certainly encourage the use oil the
explosive in this country. Every year
the number of dissatisfied persons in
creases. and the temptation TO begin a
war on society becomes stronger. The
ideas that Henry George has lately been
scattering through England and Scotland
will certainly be productive of evil. AT
first Mr.. Georges ideas about land were
criticised and, to some extent, laughed
.noU that he is preaching eX-

The Situation in Europe

The political situation in Europe is be-
ginning to attract the attention of close
observers of current events and TO give
rise to predictions that a few years will
witness great changes in European ma
tons. There are indications of an I'M
friendly feeling on the part of several Of
the great powers towards England.
There are those who pretend to believe
that Bismarck is endeavoring to form a
combination with Russia and France for
the purpose of destroying the British
Empire, and of parceling out the posses
sious of England among the three powers
named. There appears to be no doubt
that the anti-English sentiment at Berlin
is gaining strength, and that Bismarck is
doing all that he can to encourage it,.
1t is claimed that Russia is prepared to
join hands with Germany in any move
ment against England that promises to
her England's possessions in India.
At present England has all she wants
to attend TO in looking after the dyna-
miters and in getting an honorable settle
meut of her complications in Egypt.
What the outcome of the Egyptian eX-
petition VIII be it is impossible to foresee
at present. The Egyptian trouble may
be made the occasion by other European
powers for assuming a hostile attitude
towards England and for attempting to
wrest from her the possessions they cOvet.
OF course nothing is known absolutely
respecting Bismarck's purposes. All
speculation is based on what is judged to
be his policy from the course he is pur-
suing.
