THE LOST Is FOUND.

The New Orleans Times-Democrat re-
joices that recent archaeological researches
in Nicaragua seem to youch for the nara
tive of SoLoN and the theory Of DoN-
NELLY, and that Atlantis is not a myth
illogical myth. Two large stones and a
huge rock recently discovered forty feet
below the surface on the island of Zopet-
eca, covered with hieroglyphics and PhG-
nician inscriptions. One of the stones pre-
ents map of the world with the lost At
lantis situated in that space now covered by
the Atlantic ocean. OF course this discov-
cry will have tendency TO revive conf
dence in what has heretofore been regarded
as 1.-THE vagary of super-imaginative minds"
The critical will demand evidence that the
rocks were actually found, and that
the inscriptions We're placed on them long
enough ago to be beyond the reach of any
living being. When all these matters of
doubt have been cleared up the theories and
speculations Of Minnesota's favOrite philOs-
opher will materialize into substantial facts,
and from being looked upon as simply "a
literary crank" Mr.. DoNNELLY will loom
up to the position of one Of the earth's wise
men. Then it will be that the stiff-necked
public will begin to Telent and express a
willingness to take stock in the BACoNIAN
theory. But after all what practical differ
ence does it make whether Atlantis was
sunken or not, or whether BACON or
SHAKESPEARE wrote the plays which
have been ascribed to the latter? There is
no way to recover Atlantis from its watery
grave, and so far as the people of earth
are concerned it doesn't amount to a pinch
of snuff whether it was once a continent or
always the bottom of an ocean. And so
far as this generation is concerned it mat
tiers but little whether the wonderful inter
probation Of the mysteries, the sorrows and
joys of human nature was the work of
BACON, of SHAKESPEARE, of Queen BEss
or of anybody else. We live too tar remote
from the life of the author of those wonder
full dramas to be interested in his individ-
uality. 1t is the work of the author and
not his name which remains to excite ad-
miration. If it should be discovered that
BACON wrote the SHAKEsPEAREAN plays
the world would not be made better by the
discovery. The world of to-day has been
educated in thst school of thought and ac-
tion in which practical utility transcends all
distractions The achievements of the
practical discoverer of useful improvements
alone are permanent

ADDITIONAL ST. PAUL NEWS,
THE STREET COMMITTEE.
The Robert StreeI Bridge--FilIing
the River Channel.

the River Channel.
The committee on streets met last even
ing in the Office of City Attorney Murray.
The question of the approach to the Robert
street bridge on the West st. Paul side
arising, the committee heard the statements
OF several property owners, who desired
that the approach should be an iron trestle
instead of fill. They considered that the
latter method would be damage to their
property. The question was discussed at
some length and it was the opinion of all
the members of the committee that a solid
and permanent approach would be better
and more practical than an iron trestle and
would be a greater benefit 10 surrounding
property. The committee decided unani-
mously to report the matter back to the
council with a recommendation for a filed
approach with macadam top dressing and
granite curbs and cutters.
The matter relating TO the West
St Paul levee and requesting
that the fifty feet of the leyee to
which the Minnesota & Northwestern rail
way was entitled be designated, so that the
rest of it could be held inviOlate by the city,
was laid over.
The petition from several interested
citizens of the Fifth and Sixth ward, re-
lating to the filling up of the river bed by
the Chicago. Burlington Il Northern rail-
way, was also laid over. as the engineer
and city attorney were not prepared to
report.
The contract for building the Western
avenue bridge was reported in favor of the
lowest bidder, whose bonds were satisfac-
! tory. The successful contractors are
Messrs. CroSsley Sc Neyins, their bid being
| S5.09S.
The request of the fire commissioners,
asking authority to purchase scales. was
granted, but their request to erect them on
Minnesota street was refused. The COM
mittee held that it could not grant priv
ilege TO city department that il had re-
fused citizens time and again. Mr.. Muir
ray thought that the scales might be erected
at the market. The matter was referred to
Aid. Starkey, and he was requested to con-
suit with the fire commissioners and select
desirable location.

THE OHIO FARCE.

After re-electing JOHN SHERMAN TO the
senate by revolutionary methods, the Ohio
legislature spread itself for big rumpus a
good deal after the order of the late Illinois
legislature. Although charges of corruption
had been made against Mr.. SHERMAN, ex-
Governor FOSTER and other prominent Re-
publican leaders of the state, the Repub-
lican majority refused to investigate them
but concentrated its fire against Mr.. HENEY
B. PAYNE, who was elected TO the senate
two years ago. The fact that Mr.. PAYNE
has been singled out from the whole herd
of Ohio politicians as the victim Of partisan
investigation raises the presumption in Mr..
PAYNE's favor that he is the only honest
man among the lot. When il is remem-
bered that JOHN SHERMAN has become
millionaire by serving the public on a salary
of So, 900 year and that this same legisla-
ture which proposes to investigate Mr..
PAYNE is the same legislature that re-
elected SHERMAN to the senate, the farcical
phase of the whole thing becomes apparent

OPPOSED no DIVISION.

The Fargo convention didn't speak out
loud on the subject Of division. but in a
whisper. plain enough to be heard and un-
derstood at Washington, it said that the
people of Dakota were opposed to dividing
the territory. Theconvention declared that
the citizens Of the entire territory had aided
in its upbuilding to its present position of
prosperity, and so endeared were they TO
the name Of Dakota that they had no de-
sire TO have that name appropriated by any
one section of the present territory to the
exclusion of any other section. So far as
the effect Of this declaration is concerned,
the convention might just as well have said
that it was downright opposed to division
now and forevermore. That is the mean
ing of it. This declaration will be a damper
on the high-fedged hopes of so-called Sen
ators MOODY and EDGERroN, and will
probably put stop to the popular sub
scriptions which are being solicited to de-
fray the boarding expenses of these gentle
men while in Washington.

INDICATIONS.
TuE pRICES.

Yesterday was a day Of raids on the stock
market, and the various sensational reports
circulated on the street had very decided
effect in pulling the market to pieces In
the morning after a decline Of q to "a, firm
tone followed. The report that $5OO,OOO IN
gold was to be shipped to Europe caused
general selling that run prices down u TO IA
per cent Afterwards there was reaction
for fractional amounts till the last hour,
when the market was feverish, irregular and
weak. The streets were full of extravagant
reports about the reduction of rates and
many other things. Wheat was in bad shape
yesterday. At Chicago early in the day 1t
sold up &c, but oftimes declined 1s4c from
outside figures, closing 11sc below the day be-
fore. st. Paul, Minneapolis q Duluth were
similarly affected.

ness OF the Northern Pacific. An arrange

AFamine Imminent.

LONDON, Jan. 15.-The Earl of CaTnar-
Won, lord lieutenant of Ireland. declares
that parliament will not help 10 relieve the
dreadful distress prevailing among the in
habitantS OF Achill and Eagle island. Lord
CarnarvOn adds that his sole reliance for
affOrding relief to the starving people is the
limited means at his disposal of sending
the unfOrtunates 10 the wOrkhOuse. He,
however, hopes that private contributions
for the relief Of the sufferers will enable
the poor people 10 remain in their homes,
instead of being compelled 10 seek shelter
in the already much OvercrOwded work
house. An Irish high sheriff has written
10 the Times that pending the discussion OF
politics by parliament famine is approach
ing Ireland, and with it will come 4 period
of acts of lawleSSneSS. Violent men, he
says, determined not 10 starye. will seize
the necesSaries of life, even at the risk of
doing bodily harm To others. The Evening
Mail, a LOyalist organ, commenting on the
utteTances of United Ireland, says they
constitute note of warning that the gov
ernment should not neglect. The execu-
tive is distinctly told that unless il curbS
the landlords. Capt Moonlight will be
fully empowered to destroy, mutilate and
pillage with the vigOr and hellish ferocity
of the Land league days. The Freeman's
Journal, reviewing the opinions entertained
by the different English political parties,
says:
The tide runs high against ireland. The
anti-Irish feeling is rampant among English
men, and they loathe the idea OF home rule
for ireland.

CURTIN,s DIsPLACEMFNT.

Gov. CURTIN has elevated himself in
the estimation Of the American people by
promptly resenting the insult of removing
him from the craftsmanship Of the commit
tee on foreign affairs. 1t was an insult 10
distinguished American citizen for which
there is no excuse and can be no justi6ca-
tion. Governor CURTIS is no ordinary
man. His record as war governor Of the
state of Pennsylvania and his eminent
services in the position Of minister to Rus
sia entitled him to recognition as the chair
man of the committee on foreign affairs
beyond any member OF the house OF
representatives. To have displaced CURTIN
from that position TO make place for the
most eminent member of the house would
have been a reckless thing for the speaker
to have done. but when it was done to give
room to little snipper-snapper sort Of
statesman whose abilities are not equal TO
his egotisn and who possesses no qualifica-
tion for the place greater than that Of being
pet with the secretary Of state, it is an out
rage. 1t is not Gov. CURTIN who has been
so much outraged as il is an outrage against
decent public sentiment. The American
people are the ones who have been insulted
by CURTIN's humiliation. 1t is a
matter of surprise and regret that
Speaker CARLISLE should have consented
TO have inflicted this humiliation on the
American people, even though it was de-
manded by that fraudulent thing known as
official courtesy. 4 certain degree Of
courtesy is due from the presiding officer Of
the lower branch Of congress TO the heads
of the various government departments
but duty TO the public interest is of still
higher import than official courtesy. When
the secretary of state had no more courtesy
for the speaker of the house than TO make
such an unreasonable request as the dis
placement of a man of CURTIN's charac-
ter to make room for a pUpinjay
statesman like BELMONT, the speaker
would have been justified by all the Ordi-
nary rules of official etiquette in declining
10 accede TO the demand. Gov. CURTIN
generously acQuits Mr.. CARLISLE of any
intention 10 do him a personal wrong and
throws the responsibility of it on Secretary
BAYARD. The public, however, may not
treat the matter in the same fOrgiving spirit
that Mr.. CURTIN does, and will be disposed
to hold the speaker responsible for yielding
to the opportunities of the secretary OF
state. 1t is Mr.. CARLIsLE's first bad break,
and there is hope that it will not be re-
peated.

years of age. The examination takes place
