"MAC" of the Hartford Times says
that General Howard and General Miles
have not got along for some years, be.
cause Miles carries pack of cards in
his pocket, while Howard thinks he
ought to carry pocket Bible. There
is great moral question involved here,
but we haven't time to discuss 1t. For
ordinary Indian warfare, however,
there is no doubt the Miles weapon
proves the more effective.

GENERAL MANUEL GONZALES, whose
assassination at an interior town In
Mexico is reported, was President of
the Republic for the four years ending
December, 1884. His administration
was at first quite popular and fruitful
of good results, but owing to his arbi
trary exercise of certain extraordinary
powers granted him by Congress, he
went out under heavy cloud.

I'd rather fail in Bohemia than win in another

lard;
There ure no titles inherited there,
No hoard or hope for the branlcss heir:
No guided dullarl native born
To stare at his fellow with lodden sCOrn;
Bohemia has none but adopted sCnS;
Its limits, where laucy's bright stream runs;
Its hunOrS, not grnefed for thIiit or trade
But for heauty and truth mems souls have
made.
70 the empty heart IN iewelel breast
There IL value, maybe, In a purchased crest;
But the thirsty Of soul soon learn TO know
The moisturcoss froth Of the social shoW;
The vulgar sham Of the pompous feast
Where the. heaviest purse Is the highest priest;
The organized charity, sCrimped and iced,
In the name Of a cautious, statistical Christ;
Tie smile restrained the respectable cant,
when friend In need Is a friend in want;
Where The only aim Is 10 keep aAoat,
And brother may drown with a cry in his
throat.
oh, long for the glow OF kindly heart and
the grasp OF II friendly hand
And Pd rather live In Bohemia than In any
other land.

THE romance of the cattle drive
sometimes proves to be serious real

disastrous failures. There Is scarcely
anything more pitiable in the history

British Columbia, only to be compelled
to abandon them on the way on ac-
count of n long protracted drought and
consequent want of grass and water.
II is estimated that scarcely two hun
drcd of the forty thousand head are left
alive, the rest having actually starved
to death, and the company will lose
not less than S2j0,00O.
THE State Department few days
ago announced that there was nothing
to worry about In the fact that Captain
Quigley of the Canadian armed

the contrary, 1t was said that Captain
Quiglcy's little pleasantly was not
worth noticing. The Canadian Gov.
ernmcnt however, looks Mt the matter
differently, and has just severely CEN
surcd Captain Quigley for his unwar-
ranted aud insulting act Thus we see
that Canada not only seizcs American
vessels indiscrimnately, but also
kindly vindicates our honor.

crat in the State, If not in the country,

The explanation probably is that,

THE PUBLIC LANDS.

Commissioner Sparks, of the Office,
states that of the whole public domain
acquired by the government (about
1,400, 000,0 900 acres) there remains I'M
entered and undisposed of $50, 900
acres, or little more than one sixth.
Five-sixths Of all the public lands acquir-
ed by the government, therefore, and
these five sixths embracing the most
valuable of them, have been disposed of,
and one sixth only remains OF this
remnant the Commissioner estimates that
three-quarters, or about 1S0,000,000
acres, are unavailable for agricultural pur-
poses. Tho total area granted to rail,
roads is 155,000,000 a res, an area
larger than the states of Missouri, Hi
nois, Iowa and Indiana, and equal to
eleven per cent. of the entire public de-
main. The value Of these railroad
grants is estimated at S. per acre, max
ing the whole value S765,000,OO0. The
public lands in Alaska, about 37O,0OO,-
900 acres, are not included in this esti-

expedition being to make geological sur
vey of the Uintah mountains in western
Utah and Wyoming and also to collect
fossils in these parts and petrifactions for
the college museum. Part of the time
will be occupied with work in the north
base of the mountains. About the first
of August the party will cross the noun
tains to the White River Ute district,
which has been as yet comparatively un-
explored. Many localities of great ma
tional interest, such as the flaming gorge
OF Green river, will be visited.

CANT By LEASED.


A recent decision by the Supreme
Court Of the United States in the Alton
and Terre Haute case settles it that
neither the Northern Pacific or the
Union Pacific can lease the Q. II. & n.
Co., without the consent of Congress.
Good - Union.
IF the above decision be correct, there
is no danger of the consolidation of the
0. r. Il n, with either the Northern
Pacific or the Union Pacific by means of
a lease. The only method Of consolida-
ton must be by purchas, or by pooling
business which will always be subject to
changes and fluctuations in price. 1t is
difficult to foretcl whether this pooling
will be favorable to the freishter or other
wise. We think the freighting public
would be better served by Independent
lines, for then there would soon be strong
competition which would be of advantage
to the freighter if the traffic should be
large and not equally divided between
the lines.

During the recent fire at Vancouver,

when the rowdics and roughs saw that

saloons which were left entirely unpro-

one was seen staggering along the
street with key of beer on bis shoulder,
or packing many bottles of liquor as he
could appropriate. Our informant was
credibly told that men were seen sitting,
completely hemmed in by fire, and APP
parently obvious of their surroundings,
drinking liquor. They were, of course,
then already partially intoxicated. As
near as has been ascertained twelve per-

this morning on his political campaign
tour through Scotland, accompanied by
Mrs. Gladstone. Thousands of people
congregated at the depot to bid the old
statesman God speed, and the greatest en-
thusiasm prevailed. Gladstone said that
the question before the voters of Great
Britain had narrowed down to solely this:
"Shall Ireland be trusted to manage her
own affairs. Those who deny Ireland
that right admit that Canada and other
British provinces have right to enjoy
such political privileges" Continuipg,
he said: "Are we to govern by love or
to adopt a policy Of government by
force?"
