COMMISSIONER SPARKS has recently
made a ruling that the Communication of a
homestead is in effect and in law a turn
ing of the entry into a pre- emption, and
as such is illegal when the claimant has
previously had the benefit of the pre-
emption law. Since the passage of the
homestead law it has become the almost
universal practice for settlers to secure
claims under both that and the pre- empt-
ion law, in addition to which they have
usually taken the benefit Of the timber
culture law, thus ~aggregating under the
three laws a maximum estate of four hun
dred and eighty acres to each settler.
The ruling of the commissioner is calcu-
lated to put an end to this practice. 1t
leaves the settler still the right to secure
either a pre- emption or a homestead in
addition to his tree claim and as far
as the ruling itself goes, it leaves him the
right to secure a presumption claim in
the usual way, and then secure a home
stead by living upon the land FIVE years.

SILVER THREADS AMONG THE GOLD

The reports of q compromise silver bill,
TO which Messrs. Tildcn, Manning, War
ner and the prominent representatives Of
all phases of the silver question have as
scented, are pronounced at the Treasury
Department TO be entirely uniounded, 50
far as any aequiescence on the part of the
Administration or amy Of its representa-
tiVes is concerned.
The compromise proposed, by which the
coinage of the silver dollar would he
stopped, is as yet little more than the
proposition of its trainers, If it becomes
evident that il really embodies tine views
Of the silver wing of the Democratic party
it will receive careful consideration at the
hands of the Administration.
Thus far Secretary Manning has not re
garded the proposition in that light and
has gwen it little attention, although
Treasury officials say that he has ex
pressed disapprobation Of some Of its pro
pc sed provisions and has shown little dis
position to seek compromise or dodge a
lair fight against the silver coinage in Con-
gress on the merits Of the question.
The new plan however, proposes the
issue of legal-tender silver certificates on q
hullion basis and may prove the ground
work for practicable and satisfactory al,
lnstmcnt of the pending controversy,

THE MOVEMENTS DANGER.

We are not quite ready to believe that
The Washington Monument has been
cared at such a mighty expenditure of
money, time and mechanical energy,
simply to be riyen by thunderbolts, but
il is no doubt tempting target for Jupiter
Tonans and in imminent danger of being
hit. 1t will therefore devolve upon Col
onel Casey and his assistant scientists, in
asmuch as the God of Storms is not q deity
who can'be bulldozed into good behavior,
to devise some means for his propitiation.
1t was piece of presumption, perhaps, to
penetrate Jove's upper airs in this high
handed style, and something more than an
aluminium tip may be required to con-
ciliate his wrathful lighmings, but what
ever the matter is, there should be no de-
Jay in negotiations for peace.
10 have this lofty structure rent and
shivered and toppled into fragments on
sent sprawling over the flats for want of q
proper understanding with the envious
elements were far more humiliating
catastrophe than even that which over
took the tower of Babel.
So let the Government set its 'lightnng
calculators" to work. Ii is certainly
within the scientific range of an enli sht.
ened age, which burns electric lights and
runs electric motors, and wags electric
tongues, to save the Monument from cleo
trc desecration. By Joye, it must be
done.

MIR. PHELPS IN PLAIN BLACK.

The best-looking man at the state ban
Quet given on Saturday night, in honor of
Queen Victoria's birthday, was Mr..
Phelps, the new American Minister, who,
amidst all the splendor of gold and tinsel
in which other foreign diplomats were ar
rayed, appeared to best advantage in his
black dress-sut, ornamented with simple
rosctte This is the American style, and
we trust 1t will never be supplanted with
any gew-gaw innovations.
There are those who think that it ill
befits the dignity of a great and powerful
Government like this to be represented on
ala occasions like these with such
severe and conspicuous disregard
Of European usages, but we sec
no sound reason for doifing the
plain Democratic raimeut in which our
Ministers have always gone clad, and
ilonning the garish garb of old-world
aristocraey
We borrow nothing from royalty and
imperialism, excepting examples to avoid;
why should we itch to wear the fashions
Of their resplendent courts? Why at
tempt to ape customs that our forefathers
discarded when they threw off the yoke
of Kings to set up Republic oftheir own?
Far better that our clothes be made TO
match our institutions. They may be
homespun and sometimes baggy at the
knees, but after all they much better fit
the ideas that were wrought out at Mon
mouth, Bunker Hill and Yorktown, tnan
would the "pomp and circumstance" that
waits upon nobility and bangles swords
between its knees to do queens and en-
perors obeisance.
We still insist that Mr. Phelps was the
best-looking man at the Victoria banquet.
If we used English, French or German
glasses, he might appear grotesque and
out of place in sach gathering of osten-
tatious uniforms; but as we see him
through American speotacles, his is tn 9
most conspicuous and impressive figure
in the group. He is certainly not a
proper subject for criticism. To the for
eign representatives at our republican
court, we allow whatever latitude of dis
play their regulations require and make
no note of it. The same courtesy has al
ways been accorded to American diplo
mats at foreign courts, and the country
has suffered no loss of prestige in conse
quence. TO have it otherwise would b,
no sign of progress, but rather Of "A re
lapse toward ferldalism and king-cratt,

STRUCK BY LIGHTNING.


Pieces Clipped from the Washington |
Monument Capstone.
= The story of the freaks of lightning in
attacking the capstone of the Washington
Monument, which was graphically told
yesterday in the New York Herald and re-
published in this mornings papers here,
tells about all there is to tell. The bolt
struck the Monument little after
o'clock Friday afternoon, and was go
heavy that its presence was startlingly
felt in the superintendent Office where
il utilized the telephone for magnetic
pyrotechnic display.
II appears from the statement of those
employed about the structure that light
ming is frequent whenever there is the
least shower, and they have become so ac-
customed 10 it that little attention is
usually paid to the shocks, but this was so
severe as to startle all hands, even while
no damage to the shaft was at first sus-
pected.
Mr.. p. II. Mclaughlin, the superinten-
dent OF the work, went to the top of the
shaft early this morning to supervise some
minor work, and told CRIT1c reporter be-
fore starting that he had examined the
roof carefully yesterday, but that there is
no sign whatever from the inside, of the
crack in the stone slab on the north side,
which shows from the outside q wcll-de-
Vcloped crack. The fracture of the north.
east corner of the lower side of the cap
stone is trifling, but may be seen with the
naked eye, although 40 one would. dis
cover it unless attention was specially
called to the matter. When the fracture
of the capstone was discovered after the
storm had passed, the inspector of the
work found on the ground four pieces of
the stone, which fitted together accurately,
and shows the break to be triangular in
shape, about four inches high and about
the same length across the inner face.
Three of these fragments are in Colonel
Casey's possession, and the other is in this
office.
Professor Rowland of Johns Hopkins
University arrived here this morning from
Baltimore and, in company with Pro-
| iessor Simon Newcomb and other scien-
| fists, visited the Monument and made a
| thorough inspection of the interior and
| examined the external fracture with pow
erful glasses. All unite in declaring that
| the strips of phosphor-bronze that are set
in the vertical joints of the roof had moth
ing to do whatever with DETECTING the
hghtningfrom the aluminium tip. Colonel
Casey has not yet definitely decided what
to do about repairing the roof, but it is
certain that new cap-stone will not be
cut and set The split slab just below the
cap will be replaced, and staging will be
| put up for the purpose some time this
week by Mr.. Mclaughlin, the superin-
| tendent.
