A WISE MOVEMENT.

The most practical and statesmanlike
movement ever set on foot by EngliShmen
was the one inaugurated at London on YES
teriay by the Duke of Argyll and his aSSo-
ciateS, in framing the National Land COM
pany. The purposes of the association are
set forth in our London dispatches this
morning. The great curse of Great Britain
has been the aggregation of lands in the
hands of the nobility. This has been the
source Of all the social troubles which have
afflicted the British government for so many
years. Il was to break up this monopoly of
landed estates that PARNEIL and the Irish
agitatorS have been fighting for. That the
work of the Irish patriots is bearing good
fruit Is best atteSted when the SiIk-StOckiny
gentry Of England form an association for
the very purpose of carrying into effect the
principle for which the agitators have been
cOntending.
The practical methods adopted By the
National Land company form the hest
guarantee of the success of the movement
They 90 at it in a way thar evinces the
fact that the eminent English statesmen
who are at the head of the movement have
a fun knowledge of the urgency of the
work, and At the same time know how to

NOT COMING.

An eminent Brooklyn physician expresses
the opinion that cholera is not coming to
America this summer. He says the inn
provement in sanitary arrangements in
cities over what it was twenty-five years
ago is bar to the cholera plague Then.
he says, public sewerage was thing almost
unknown, no supervision was exercised
over the plumbing fixtures in houses and
the collection and storage of garbage; for
instance, the collection of bones and rags
went on without the slightest Interrupt
ton. The system of house-to-house-
inspection prevailing in American cit
les was then unknown. According to
his idea the conditions for the production
of cholera germs or bacilli are not present in
many cities of this country. Another
point he makes in our favor is the extremely
low temperature of the past winter. For
weeks and weeks the mercury was below
freezing point, and if there is any such
thing as microbes, which the Brooklyn doc
tor doubts, they would have had very
hard time living through the past four
months. 1t is encouraging to have this
view of it presented, for, after all that has
been said to scare us, we are glad to reach
point where we can draw long breath
and give vent to sigh of relief.

placed upon the pedestal of public
favor right in front of him. In fact there
were many admirers of Mr.. DAVIS who
had hoped to see him nominated for the
mayoralty, for the sake of the very prestige
for (which Mr.. MERRIAM is striving.
Thus these contending forces within the
Republican party are undermining his chief
source of strength, while the conviction
grows upon the party leaders that for party's
sake Mr.. MERRIAM must be sat upon.
Meanwhile Mr.. MERRIAM takes roseate
view of the situation. Having purchased
residence lot in Washington, he looks hope
fully through the gates of the mayoralty
down the vista through which he, as a
fashion-plate statesman with his pug dog
companion, expects to be driven by his liv-
cried coachman to the capitol.

THE MARKETS.

The war news has ceased to have any per-
ceptible effect on the market and all appear
to be disposed to wait for something more
decisive than general growing. Yesterday
was one Of the dullest days we have had in
the stock market for nearly month and the
duIlness extended through the whole list. St.
Paul was the most active stock on the list,
but even in this the sales were only $4,000
shares and the price at the close was nc
lower. Wheat was no better Off. In Chicago
the market was steady and lower, though at
the close it became Il little firmer. In st. Paul
quotations remained the same as the day be-
fore with au inactive market, and in Mime
gpolis and Duluth it was about the same.

A BulIdOzing RefOrmer.

OpcClul W bIlt
CHICAGO, April 24.-Mr. George M.
Pullman, the very prominent Republican
of the Union clubs better class, is to come
before the grand jury in connection with
certain alleged bulldoZing on the last cleo
ton day. Complaints of bulldOzing in the
much-bossed village Of Pullman are to re-
ceive attention at the hands of the grand
jury. E. w. HeuIicks, who ran for SUI
pervisor and was beaten by majority Of
800 by A. w. Proctor, was in the employ
of the Pullman company and was
regarded as tool Of his masters. The
people resented his bOssism and his boasts
that he controlled 5000 votes in his own
right Although all the rest Of the Repub-
lican ticket was elected in Pullman, Hen
rcks was badly beaten. 1t is said that the
company realizing the unpopularity Of this
man, took pains to see that it be generally
understood that failure to vote for Hen
ricks would mean an invitation to look else
where for employment. III some cases it is
charged that ballots were actually grabbed
from the hands Of voters who were against
HenrickS, and there were all sorts Of ways
to prevent their voting. The greatest diff
Guilty is experienced in getting men to come
out publicly over their names and testify to
what they have seen. Under the system
Of petty tyranny which prevails at
Pullman, it is easy to see why this diff
Guilty exists, 1t may be stated that George
NJ. Pullman is a prominent and influential
member Of the committee Of public safety
which is so solicitOus about preserving the
purity of the ballot box, and which doubts
the ability Of any but the better classes to
honestly conduct an election.

NOT HARMONIOUS.

Since the Pioneer Press candidate for
mayor has been put upon the defensive, it
develops that the sentiment prevailing In
the Republican party regarding his candi-
daoy Is not marked with that unanimity
which his organ would imply as existing.
Aside from the antagonism aroused by the
utter disregard shown for the wishes of the
voting masses of the Republican party by
the selection of the dilletante Mr.. MER-
RIAM and the severe Snubbing of DR.. MUIR
PLY, there is growing feeling that there
Is something even more undesirable than a
silk-stockinged mayor in prospect 1t is
reasoned thus by far-seeing Republicans:
Should Mr.. MERRIAM. by the free use
Of his barrel and such other corrupting in
huenceS as he can command. be elected
mayor. he would achieve a political prestige
that might overshadow all other aSpir-
ants for higher political preferment.
For instance, ii was an open
secret in the last congressional canvass that
Mr.MERRIAM was anxious to represent this
district Only the pronounced opposition
Of the then dominant leaders prevented his
openly eonteSting with Mr.. ALBERT
SCHEFFER for the Ramsey county delega-
ton. 1t is well understood that the bitter
tight. which resulted in the nomination of
Mr.. J. Il. GuFrLLAN Is not ended. and
that Mr.. SCHEFFER's friends propose to
seek yindicstion. Indeed. il is freely
stated that many of the latter do not look
kindly upon the prospective complications
which success for Mr.. MERRIAM in this
nayoralty contest would sngender.
Nor do the possibilities seem 20 De limited

A REPORT that Mr.. JONES had received an
offer of S750,OO0 for the New York Times Is au-
thoritatively met by the statement that three
times that sum had been refused and that the
paper is not in the market. That looks like a
great deal of money TO refuse for a news
paper establishment And yet Mr.. JONES was
right about it. His newspaper is an assured
fortune TO him and to be at the head of such
a concern as the Times is to occupy a posi-
ton of usefulness and influence greater than
that of any office in the land. 1t is prouder

KEELY,s GREAT DISCOVERY.
The Rotary Etheric Engine to BE

The Rotary Etherlc Engine to BE
Backed by Twelve Millions.
Special to the Globe.
PHILADELPHIA, Pa, April 24.-John
W. Keely to-day told reporter of his latest
discovery AS he related the narrative the
discoveries eyes sparkled, and a beam Of
satisfaction spread over his face when he
remarked: 81 have at last attained the
work of my life. L have discovered the
power which for years [ sought,
and I feel perfectly satisfied now
that my discoveries and inventions
can go forth to the world. For six months
| have worked fourteen and eighteen hours
day. The world saw little OF me because
I was locked in my workshop. My new
engine is worked upon an entirely different
system from anything [ ever used before.
1t will be known as the
ROTARY ETHERIC ENGINE.
The power is obtained from inter-atomic
air, or, rather, lumirSiferous ether. In
fact, l have half e dozen terms to apply to
it. This new power is under complete
control and is greater by five
or six times than gunpowder In
deed, by multiplied concentration [
can make it fifteen times greater. In a re-
cent experiment obtained %, 800 pounds
of pressure to the square inch in eight sec
onds. No water is used in this engine or
to secure this power, air alone being the
agent. The Introductory receptacle, which
holds one-half pint of air, required sixty
pounds of steel in
IT'S CONSTRUCTION.
I expect (but cannot state for certainty
to give an exhibition in three weeks. This
will depend entirely upon the machinists.
If they disappoint me [ can't tell when
it will happen. Next month [ will
have perfect engine completed.
1t will not weigh more than three TONS and
will be equal to 500 horse power. The APP
paratus which is used in connection with
the engine is named the 'Liberator'"
"How about the Kelly Motor company"
1t has no interest in the new engine
and discovery. A company is to be formed,
but l should hardly give the particulars. 1t
will have capital of $12, 600, 900, and it is
likely that shares of the
KELLY MOTOR COMPANY
will be exchanged for those of the new. l
will have the controlling interest. The
Keely Motor company has not paid me
penny for two years, and all these new dis
coveries and inventions have ben paid for
out of my own pocket. To return again to
the original subject I believe that five lib
orators and engines can supply all the
power needed in this city. The power can
be stored in tubes and transported any
where. In about six months, or sooner, if
possible, | will take out patents in this
country and then | shall go to Europe,

Ensland's Duty.

NGW OTK sun.
1t would be stupendous blunder for Eng
land to give up the effort to keep the Russians
out of Herat, merely because the sympathies
of the Afghans are alleged to be divided. If
the present ameer betrays the power that
placed him in Cabul, it will be easy to set up
another ruler in his stead. So long as any
member of the Dost-Mohammed dynasty,
commanding strong party in Afghanistan,
is willing to accept the aid of England against
Muscovite aggression, it is the unmistakable,
imperative duty of the British government
to sustain that party, because Afghanistan,
independent, is an invaluable buttress of
British India.

With the oYerhanging branches
Forming graceful caves.

Sounds the flowing brook.
