The Arc of Craftsmanship.

The age at which statesmen reach their best
reputation seems to be between 80 and 90
though large number become very prominent
before that time. Clay, Calhoun, and Web
ster jumped into national prominence very
early In life, and Clay was member Of the
senate before he was 30. John Randolph APP
peared so young when he was elected to con-
gress that he was asked his age when about to
take his oath. He disdained to answer tho
question directly, and referred the inquirer to
his constituents. James q. Blaine has some
years to live before he viii be CO. George y.
Edmunds Is 81, and Arthur was younger than
this when he left tho presidency. Sam Ran
dali is 81; Carlisle looks older fhan Randall,
bat he Ia only 30, and Tom Reed and Gov.
Long have made national regulations at 40
aud Az There are fewer men than usual IN
this house between 30 and 40, and there are
none under 80. In many Of the houses Of the
past we have had congressman In the twenties,
and Galusha A. Grow was only 2S when he
came here to represent the district OF old

CHIEF GERONIMO.
iIe VIII Probably be Tried by Court
Martial.

WASHINGTON, Sept 9--The president has
telegraphed Adlutant General Drum, acting
secretary of war, vestlng him with discretion.
AIRY authority as to the present disposition OF
Geronimo and his band. When the president
returns to Washington he will decide upon q
permanent place of confinement for these In.
dams. General Drum in pursuance of this
discretion to-day telegraphed General Miles,
who is on the ground and more familiar with
the surroundings than the Adiutant General
can be, transferring this discretionary author
ity TO that officer. II is learned that General
Miles viii remove Geronimo and his band ut
once from Fort Bowie, which Is near the
mountains, TO 1T. Bliss In the open country.
This precaution Is taken for fear the wary
chieftain might escape at TT. Bowie, where,
his flight to the nighborlng mountains would
ba easy, while he could elude his guards at
TT. Bliss and easily be captured IN the open
country. At the war department the idea OF
civil trial for the Appaches is secuted No
witnesses could be obtained 10 the numerous
murders By these Indians because of the
difficulty in obtaining positive evidence of
of guilt in individual cases Of murder In
dams, like negroes army officers say, resem
bic each other so much as to make deptilca-
ton Of individuals difficult, besides In all but
q few cases Of murder there were no living
witnesses left, and more than this, most OF
the butcherles took place under cover of dark
ness. A court martial therefore is believed to
be only proper method Of trial. The view Is
concurred in by the United States attorney of
Arizona, who telegraphed here explaining and
pointing out difficulties likely to be epcount.
cred In civil trial. Other Apaches, those al
ready in the hands Of the government, and
who were not on the war path with Geronimo,
will be sent Fort Marion, Florida, at once.

DYNAMITE EXPLOSION.
The DastardIy Work OF Incondiarles
in Chicago.

CHICAGO, Sept ia few minutes before
12 Thursday night James Calvin, night operat-
or, was sitting In the signal tower of the Lake
Shore Co. at the intersection Of Main street
and the Stock Yards, when he was blinded by
an explosion. The tower is 30 foot high. Cal
win had noticed nothing unusual, when he was
suddenly startled by seeing a column OF smoke
arise at one side Of the structure, followed by
deafening explosion. A 20-inch piece of gas
pipe was found, showing that II was dynamite
that caused the explosion. OF 100 batteries In
the building "a were broken, along with pneu.
matte tubes, which will cost thousands OF dol
lars TO repair. What makes the attempt more
dastardly is the fact that an outbound passen-
ger train was due few minutes after the ex.
plosion occurred. The theory OF the police Is
that wreckers hoped TO blow up the tower, and
when the passenger train came along to throw
the switch, and thus the train would have
plunged into muss Of freight cars lining the
tracks. Another attempt to wreck the train
took place last night about Swhen the Lake
Shore road was receiving from the Illinois
Central train Of % cars. The switch was
turned while the train was crossing Root
street and Is cars derailed.. About IL O'Clock
John Fagin, ex-swltchman of the Lake Shore
road, was arrested and locked up In the Harri'
son street station, charged with throwing the
switch Lake Shore officials knew nothing OF
the explosion, but what they had heard, and
were much exercised, The chief OF the detec
tive force Of the company says he can trace
the parties who committed the outrage, and
said that he would have all OF them under ar
rest within As hours.

TIE IRISH LAND QUESTION.
4 Pamphlet from the Irish LoynI
Union,

LONDON, Sept. 13-The Irish Loyal and Pa
triotic Union issued pamphlet on the Irish
question for use by gentlemen Of the House Of
Commons and the press. "The status Of tho
Irish tenant farmer" says the pamphlet "has
within the past 10 years undergone marked
amelioration, owing to various remedial stat
utes. There has Certainly been fall In prices
but, everything considered, there Is nothing
exceptionally bad in Irish agriculture. The
Irish enjoy greater advantages Of tenure than
other people with improved methods. There
is reason to look to the future with confidence"
Here figures are quoted showing that full adj
vantage Is taken Of the right TO sell interest In
holdings. The pamphlet continues: Laying
aside rhetorical bOsh, 1t is necessary TO state
succinctly the actual facts regarding eviction.
By the land act of 1881 tenant cannot posi-
bly, be eyicted unless he refuses to pay the rents
or docs not comply with certain stat utatory
conditions not forming an imaginary gricv-
ance. The election for non-payment Of rent
cannot be brought for less than a years rent
actually due. IL any ejectment be brought,
the tenant may redeem the property at any
time within six months after the execution OF
the writs, or may within the same period sell
the tenantry after tho writ has been executed
to anybody, aud the purchaser may redeem
the property. Many other advantages are pos
sessed by the tenant, therefore an eviction IL
dangerous aud costly to the landlord and there
fore is practcei only in extreme cases. II the
years rent should fall due in September or
December the landlord docs not get a decree
until the January session, and six months
more must elapse before he can get possession
Of the land. The land is then liable to the
tenant for crops, so that nearly two years
must elapse before he finally RECEIVERS his

Gen. Diaz and Santa Ana.

A Mexican contemporary relates tho follow.
Ing anccdote, which shows the armness Of
character Of President Diaz during tho early
part Of his career;
When Santa Ana was president and he was
seeking a reelection he ordered that books
should be presented TO all voters, In order that
all citizens might express their preference for
the three candidates who were running for tho
Office Of president viz: Santa Ana, Almonte,
dnd Gen. Alvarez leader Of the liberal party.
These books were kept at the voting places,
and IL was well understood that anyone who
would Sign his name In favor Of the candidacy
OF Gen Alvarez would incur the displeasure
OF Santa Ana, which was tantamount to q
fierce and bitter persecution. Porfirlo Dlaz,
then young man, was voter IN one OF the
districts OF the state OF Oaxaca. When the
time sf the presidential election was at hand
he applied TO the officer In charge OF the pre-
cinct where he was inscribed as an elector and
asked for the book where he should by inscrib-
ing his name indicate the candidate he favor
ed. The book Of the partisans OF Santa Ana
was handed him; this he put aside and asked
for another. The election officers then gave
him the book which contained the names OF
those who favored Almonte. He likewise re-
fused 10 afiiI his name 10 that book. In spite
OF the entrestles Of the election officers, who
were his friends, and the threats made by tho
partlsans Of Santa Ana then present, Diaz
asked for the third book, and wrote bis name
in a bold hand. That name was the only
one that had been inscribed as favoring the
election Of Gen. Alvarez.

The Law of Libel.

The States Of the Union in respect to crimi-
nal and other laws and their enforcement are
foreign to each other, yet the editor of the
Springfield Republicaa was arrested aud tenn
porally imprisoned in New York for libeling
resident of that city in his paper; the ed-
tor of the New York Sun was arrested in this
city on charge Of criminal libel in the Sum-
brought by a Philadelphian, and more re-
Gently the editor Of the Philadelphia Times
was arrested in New Orleans on account
Of an article published in this city and
deemed hbelous by citizen of Louisiana.
We have never heard that the question OF
jurisdiction was raised in any OF these cases.
1t was assumed that the chief editor OF q
paper "causes 1t to be circulated" wherever 1t
goes and is responsible for its contents into
whatever Jurisdiction 1t comes. II certainly
is not necessary that he should carry the pa
pers across the line himself in order to fix his
responsibility. Were 1t not that we have the
authority Of "Citizen'' against us, we would
have reasoned from these and other cases that
Cutting committed an offense against cti-
zen OF Mexico within the territory Of Mexico

PRINCE GERONIMO.
Tho Apache Leader Surrenders I'm
conditionally to Capt. Lawton.

The following telegram, confirming the pre-
vious dispatch was received at the war depart
lnent this morning from Gen. o. O. Howard,
dated Fort Mason, San Francisco.
General Miles has returned from Fort
Bowie, with Matches and a son Of Cochise,
Geronimo and his brother with three other
Apaches, all as prisoners Of war. The sur
render is unconditional. Capt. Lawton is
following with the remainder of the hostiles-
six adults and three children in ALL"
General satisfaction was expressed at the
war department to-day upon the receipt OF
the news Of Geronemo's surrender. Great
praise is bestowed upon General Miles for the
excellent conduct of the campaign, but it is
said that the results of General Crooks cam
paign were Of grast .yalue. TO General Miles,
and the latter has substantially followed the
plan outlined by his predecessor. With in.
creased forces 1t has been possible to guard
every water hole and efrecrIally defeat
any attempt of the hostlles to escape.
Adjutant General Drum, speaking of
Geronimo's capture, says 1t was the
end of a war running with brief inter-
intermission through twenty-five years. Gen.
Miles deserved credit for his vigorous work.
self as gallant o.icer, and his pursuit of the
hostiles under adverse conditions and hard
ships was commendable. The general was not
prepared to say what disposition would be
made of the captives, but certainly, he said,
nothing would be done IN the matter until the
presidents wishes were known. The original
dispatch had been promptly transmitted to the
Adrlondacks for the information Of the presl-
dent, and until he had been heard from the
Indians would be held in confinement at Fort
Bowie, A I. Other officers of the department
were especially gratified at learning that Ger
onimo's surrender was unconditional. The
opinion prevails in some quarters that the
Indians will be transferred to the custody of
the interior department for time, and that
Geronimo and his two lieutenants will be ulti-
mately surrendered to the civil authorities of
Arizona and put on trial for murder, with
result that would require little effort to guess.
An officer Of high rank, however, incines to
the belief that the president will never con-
sent to surrender Geronimo to the civil all.

martial if 1t should be regarded as proper to
try him at all. "The same officer said that the
successful ending Of the campaign would be
of inestimable value to the territory Of Ari.

raised an area of rich country 200 miles square
as to render it uninhabitable.

THE FAIR.
Financial Results OF the Fair and Con.
dition of tho Treasury.

The various committees of the State Fair as
ISOLATION met In President Wheeler's office in
the capitol Sept 10, and finished up all BUSH
ness connected with the recent fair. Mr..
Wheeler says the association is very well
pleased at the present outlook, and the result
Of the State Fair under the circumstances, and
says there is some money In the treasury,
though it may be necessary to borrow small
amount before the next fair, II the improve
ments contemplated on the grounds are made.
The total receipts foot up $4,000, as compared
with S2S,000 last year, and $4,000 in 1884.
When the fair opened the Improvement fund
of the association was $4,000 in debt, and
there was only about $4,000 in the general
fund. After paying of this Indebtedness, the
premiums in full, and all the necessary ex-
penses connected with the fair, the balance in
the treasury cannot be very. large. The fair
grounds are now being seeded in fine grass,
and Mr.. Thornton will continue to have charge
of the associations property, though no ex-
tensive improvements will be made until next
summer.

Lime Washes for Fences and Out-Buildings.
Southern Home and Farm.
Old or new wooden fences should be annually
treated to coat of lime-wash after the dashing
spring rains are over. DO not say whitewash,
as many other colors are often more in harmony
with the home surroundings than white. White
looks we'll in contrast with the allsorroundlng
greenery of the country, but is too glaring for
town use. In fact. as protection for citizens
against white fences and walls. A sound barrel
in which lime will stand ready for use,
mixed to about the consistency Of cream,
is, like vinegar or I've barrel, good family In
stitution. This having been strained, should
have dissolved in it about one pint of salt to each
bucket of water or when to be used, have pint
of coarse -four paste pint of water in which
glue has been dissolved at the rate of one pound
of glue to TWO gallons of water, stirred in.
If you wish to color your wash, make strong
tincture of indigo for blue, or extract of logwood
for purple. or lampblack for slate, or chrome for
yellow. Yellow stirred into slate makes good
olive, now very much used on frame cot
tages in different shades for the solid
wall, and facings, and shutters. To make
uniform color for large surface, you must
measure your whitewash every time you fl the
bucket, and measure the coloring matter that
goes in it. Lime washing, kalsomining, and
plain painting all done on the same principle
Take just enough in the brush not to drip, make
all strokes with the grain of the wood and in the
same direction and any careful person can do
milk or whey almost equals paint in durability
Hydraulic lime answers as we'll, and makes a
good neutral tint. These may be used like kali
s0mine for indoor work on wood plastered
wall, but must be mixed in small quantity, and
stored to keep from hardening.
