The people are not always right in the
start, but they generally manageto become
level-headed in due season. Martin Irons,
for a brief period, a. regarded as a hero
in the southwest. and from the way ne de-
ported himself evidently felt that that was
his true character. He has since learned
that honors are aeeting and lame frequent
ly evanescent. Irons, no doubt, thought
himself q great man when he found thous.
ands of working people obeying his orders
to strike, whatever might be the damage
to themselves or to Others. If Martin
Irons were consulted to-day he would
doubtless entertain a different opinion Of
himself.

MIR. RANDALL proposes the liberation
fruit, brandies and wines from internal
revenue taxation: Some temperance peo-
pie will probably cry out against such a
proceeding. The fact is, however, that OF
all alcoholic liquors made, this kind is
least liable TO authorizations and poison
Gus compounds, and it's manufacture is a
source OF wealth more directly to agricul.
tural sections. As long as whisky reigna
triumphant in the marts OF commerce as
the staple beverage, it would seem better
TO give purer products Of the still a chance
to antagonize it, and gradually take its

BIZ recent soundings the London Geo.
graphical Society has ascertained tnat the
Ocean-bottom in the North Atlantic is
formed OF two great valleys. One reaches
in width from the tenth degree of East to
the thirtieth Of West longitude, extending
to the equa tor, at a depth Of not less than
10000 feet, and the other lies between the
thirtieth and fiftieth degrees Of West longi
tude. The intervening mountain-chain,
with a maximum breadth of nearly Give
hundred miles, extends NorthwaId toward
Iceland and Southwark to the Azores, and
is volcanic in character at the ends. This
almost corresponds with the physical
formation OF the country above the Sea-
level.

WHAT q world of difference there is be.
tween people who travel. One win take q
tour ola year and return to his home little
wiser than when he started, and utterly
unable to tell of a 1.-THE even Of the many
interesting things he saw. His trip served
him only for the immediate present. He
either fails to notice, or noticing forgets,
and is therefore unable to impart informa.
ton or pleasure to his friends. Another
will make a tour Of a month, and come
back like busy bee laden down with the
sweets he has gathered as he %journeyed
His tout has been a source Of intense pleas
ure to himself as we'll as to those with
whom he converses On the subject. The
difference between the two is that the one
uses eyes and ears, the other, though pos
sessed OF like organs, employs neither as he
should and therefore returns nearly as
empty as when he started.

Nova SCOTIA wants to secede from the
Dominion, because she considers herself I'M
fairly treated. But it remains to be seen
whether secession is a possible thing in this
case. It was, as we all know, tried in the
United States, resulting in terrible disaster.
But that was because other members OF
the Union we're not willing that a compact
sealed with the blood Of 80 many patriots
should be broken at will by any OF the
members to it. Now, there was no blood
shed when the Dominion Confederacv was
formed. It was throughout a peaceful af.
fair Hence the majority members may
not feel disposed to offer serious objections
to the proposed withdrawal OF the Blue
ncse'' portion of the concern.

O'DoNovAN Rosa is in Chicago where he
has been received with honors by the Irish
Land League. good way for the League
to get themselves disliked by their Ameri-
can friends is to show regard for men Of the
Rosa stamp. He represents all that is bad
and un-American. He is a cheap adventur-
er, who makes a trade OF his high sounding
name and bleeds and feeces his sympa-
thetic countrymen. Rosa should be sat
down on instead Of entertained by the
Land League.

YESTERDAYS C
A Fair Attendance and GOOD Sport at
the Race Track.

the Race Track.
About ! 900 people witnessed the third
and last days sport at the race track
The weather was beautiful and the tracki1
excellent condition.
THE FIRST VEN
was the free.for-all trot, mile heats, three
in five, for q purse of $500. The entries
were Sam Scott's Rancbero (record,
2:241kD, B. C. Holly's Harry Velox (record,
2:24hk) and r. Barnes Billy Nolan (record,
2:3O). Ranchero was a favorite in the
pools, but Velox sold high.
First Heat-Velox had the pole, and
held it bravely. On the first quarter
Ranchero disappointed his numerous adj
mirers by breaking badly, making a gap OF
at least seventy-ive feet between Velo1
and himself before he was brought down to
his gait again. The remainder of the heat
was unexciting, and resulted: Velox first,
Nolan second, Ranchero third. Time,
2:31.
Second Heat-Some fine work was per.
formed by the flyers in the second heat, but
Ranchero was unable to overcome the
spurt which Velox made at the start. and
the latter horse came in first, Ranchero
second, Nolan a bad third. Time, 2:28h.
Third Heat-Ranchero took the lead il
the first quarter and held it until the finish
without a break, making the mile in FPS;
Velox second, Nolan again a bad third.
Fourth Heat-Ranchero's friends were
again upset by seeing Veloz take the poll
away from their favorite almost at the
start and holding it to the finish, Ranchero
second, Nolan third. Time, 2:29a.
