THE KNIGHTS OF LABOR at Cleye-
land have done very sensible thing
in making the approval of the execu-'
tive board necessary, except in certain
extreme cases, before a boycott or a
strike can be inaugurated, But by no
means, as practical is their petition to
Congress, also adopted yesterday, ask
ing that the Government establish a
loan Office in each county in the United
States and lend money upon good Sc
qurity at the rate OF three per cent. per
annum to all who may want to borrow.
While it is true that the volume of
money in circulation in this country is
by no means adequate to the business
transacted, it would not be at all feast,
Bile for the Government to go
into general loan business. 1t is
the Governments duty to furnish
sufficient circulation and by proper
legislation promote the conditions for
its profitable use; not to hold out
temptations to the people to so into
debt.

that time was equivalent to not doing
it at all, 80 far as the land grant was
concerned.
But the road was as necessary In 1882
as it hud been before, and when It was
born out Of due time the Government
forgoyc Tire delay and renewed jts for.
feilod bounty This should have re.
quirod an act Of Congress, for It was
virtually aon grdR' But the courts
had discovered that conditional grants
to railroad corporations were uncondi-
tioual grants, unless the corporations
could be made TO release their grasp
on Congress and allow bills of forfeiture
to be passed
Now comes the Northern Plcl1c
Company aud asks not only to be let
alone as to the tardlly earned lands,
but also as to tho lands along the pro.
posed Cascade Branch, which have not
yet been earned at all.
The question to be determined then
is. Shall the forfeited promise Of a
grant along that important branch be
renewed by failure to forfeit2 Not
to forfeit is to make n new land grant.
Is the road so desirable as TO warrant
this exception to the policy against
new land grants2 and if So Is there any
guaranty that the road will be con
structed if Congress now stays its hand
and leaves the grant untouched?
Senator Van Wyck says no, and
offers an amendment to forfeit an lands
except along the line OF constructed
railroad Senator Edmunds says this
raises u legal question and "bedevils"
the subject in o manner to help tue
railroad company TO keep all the con.
ditional grant, including that along the
Portland line.
And then the debate dcgenerotes into
scoliing match rs to which Senators
are most influenced by railroad cor
porations. Then Senator Beck pours
oil (of vitrioD on the troubled waters
by introducing a bill making it a crime
for a Senator TO be the lawyer of q
land grant railroad company Then
Senator Dolph says he will support
that bill, because he considersit highly
improper for any Senator to be counsel
for any corporation interested in any
measure before the Senate Then
Senators who are on Senator Dolph s
side wonder what he means, when
some of them are counsel under just
such circumstances.
THE Critic will do its best to smooth
out these difficulties, and pilot the
Senate to the safe hNrbor of right aud
justice But for that It has not space

at is of special value for knife-handles,
because OF its close texture, freedom from
knots and flaws, and consequent disin-
clination to split. Many ~well-known kinds
of wood require vanishing and polishing
and filling up of c~reyices before they at
tain the beauty for which they are ia
nous. OF course that sort Of thing can't
be lone in the case of knife -handles, and
something must be used which doesn't
require fixing up. Cocobola is rarely used
for cabinet-making, BECAUSE being a
gummy wood, it doesn't glue well. The
same qualities that make il Of use in the
manufacture of ~knife-handles render il
valuable for the making of wind instru-
ments like the flute. 1t comes to us in

other woods. Sometimes these pieces will

much less thai h II costs 24 cents a

senator of Rip Van Wrinkle. A few weeks
ago he was in Washington, and invited
sam Kingsley to go shooting with him.

Kingsley appeared next morning clad
in a corduroy ulster which reached from
his neck To his heels, and showed by the
way he carried his gun that it was his
first experience in the field. They had
not gone far before Jefferson's handsome
Irish setter pointed some birds. Her
master said nothing, but waited to see

umbrellas. and canes, and he was used to
ornament lacepins, breastpins and hair

LUNAR RAlNsows AT DEVILS LAKE.

The Prisinatic Wonders of the Sky In the
Great Territory of Dakota.
Lunar rainbows, scarce seen once in a
lifetime in other lands, are almost every
night occurrences here. But never, even
here, never since the strange resplendent
token Of Jehovah's covenant with a drip
ping world first cast its luminous coronet
around the frowning brow of Ararat has
the heaven-turned eye beheld a richer,
rirer manifestation OF the divine handi
work than that which Toasted the gaze OF

and genius was transcendantly glorious
and sublime. O~mnipotence itself, with

The mysterious inland sea, which the

west and south a mirror OF cleaning ice.
All earth was wrapped in a mantle OF

angels are. The sky was blue as ever bent
above the ripping waters of the Golden
Horn; blue and clear as the pure, trans
lucent crystal hat arches the gold-paved,
jcwel-gated City OF God not made with
hands. The moon, radiant queen OF love
and romance, sailed up the fieckless azure.
attended by a royal retinue Of gem-like
stars. A iood OF soft, delicious light fell
like n silyery benson on plain and wood
land, lake and encircling hills. All ma
ture seemed bathed In sweet effulgence
and holy calm.
About midnight a vast, weird mass Of
fieecy cloud swept slowly up from the
horizon, a floating island of supernal snow
in a glowing sapphire sea. It drifted on
till, e%nveloping the moon, she peeped out
from behind 1t like a fair girls face
through n bridal veil. A ring Of
light, colorless as pearl, white as
the ghost Of a dead sunbeam,
gradually surrounded her. Once
having caught her in its coils, it rapidly
expended, and its outer edge took II pale

Does the supply from the diamond
mines keep pace with the demandfr
The supply ran ahead Of the demand
for awhile after the discovery Of the Afri-
can fields, but there has not recently been
an excess OF production, The supply is
certain to fall short in a few years. The
African fields that are really productive
are not more han eight acres in extent,
and they are pretty well exhausted. It is
true that the deeper the mines are sunk
the finer stones they find, but the quantity
has fallen off greatly. Brazil is not fur
nisling more than $500 o worth OF stones
yearly, and we scarcely ever get anything
from India any more. IL will be with the
diamond mines as IL was with the Nevada

The finest floors are said to be seen in
Russia. For those of the highest grade
tropical woods art exclusively employed.
Fir and pine are never used, as in conse-
quence of their sticky character they at
tract and retain dust and dirt, and
thereby soon become blackened. Pitch
pine, too, is liable to shrink, even after
being well seasoned. The mosaic wood
floors in Russia are often Of extraordinary
beauty. One in the summer palace is Of
small squares Of ebony inlaid with
mother-of-pearl. A considerable rad is
