Is THERE any way in which our city
fathers can be made to realize that
this community is being seriously in
jured by their failure to clean the
streets that are already paved? Main
street, from the Court House to Sixth
street, has been paved for some time,
yet the people are not receiving the
benefit of that completed work by
re lson of the mud that has been per-
mited to accumulate and grow
upon it. There is but little
choice, as far as mud is concerned, be-
tween the unpaved portion Of Spring
street and the paved portion OF Spring
and Main street. Both are execrabl G
and both equally impossible. What
ever excuse may be set up for the

none whatever for the mud that fes.

scrapers and mud.wagons with proper

OTHER counsels may be at the bot
tom Of it; but it most assuredly looks
as if the Gear OF all the Russias was of
the opinion that the only way to
secure internal peace was to draw off
attention from home affairs in great
foreign war. 1t looks as if he was
watching the court at Berlin with one
eye while the other was focused on
San Reno. A catastrophe which
would simultaneously carry off the
Emperor and the Crown Prince, is
probably regarded at st. Petersburg
as an opportunity not to be looked for
more than once in a thousand years.
The willy Muscovite may seek to take
advantage OF such shock in order to
realize the dream his race has been
INDUCING in for many centuries.

SHOULD rumors from Europe of a

to be true, the cause of Ireland will
be the loser. The calm, statesman

day we read of a memorial in favor of
Home Rule, being presented to Mr..
Gladstone by 250 clergy Of the Church
of England. A religious difficulty has
been the worst of all in Ireland fer
the past 800 years. The followers OF
the old ceremonial, and those who

the most part contended for Home

have preferred to remain in direct

If LOW prices follow low wages in the
same proportion, why is it that the la
borers of Europe are 80 willing to come
to America and take current wages,
Notwithstanding the higher prices
charged for clothing and blankets? :?
Are there any laborers or operatives
in protection America who would ex-
change wages and prices with the la
borers or operatives of free-trade
England?
There are some who think that these
two questions are unanswerable, un-
less in favor of high protection. If
the workman is better fed, housed
and clothed in the United States than
elsewhere, such conditions are not al
together the resultant of high
tariff, as inferred by the questions
under discussion. 1t is historical
fact that the working people OF Eng
land, under a high protection rule,
which formerly existed, were no bet
ter off then than now, in fact, not SO
we'll off. To what extent labor has
been benefited in the United States
by a protective tariff may not be
measured to nicely or even approxi-
mated. The student is very easily
led to believe that labor has really
very little protection. In the way OF
unrestricted immigration it certainly
has none. The competition of labor
of pauper laborers imported from
Europe with the better conditioned
wage -earners here-is already fierce
one. The workmen of the United
States, as a whole, are rabid
high protectionists, and yet ex-
press the sentiment of the
brotherhood OF man," which invites
cheap labor, and which holds that
not any prescribed area, but the
whole world, is each mans country.
The labor problem is not a senti
mental one, though not devoid OF
sentiment. Its solution or the direc-
ton of its evolution must be reached
by other than theoretical methods.
Practical politics must take the place
of the metaphysical. Labor and
capital are at war with each other,
while the former fondly believes and
the latter complacently asserts that
the wage-earner is blessed by high
protective tariff and could not be
happy and prosperous with anything
short of it,

nished to such places, when furnished
at all, are such as are shipped from
the large cities after passing through
the hands of commission men. who,
of course, must make their profit, and
are usually furnished in a stale and
battered condition, costing three times
more to the consumer than the orig
inal grower gets. These vegetables
are largely grown on land near the
great cities, for which the gardener
often pays as much as 500 rent per
acre. and they are sold by the grower
at wholesale. Generally the farmer
would have the advantage of cheaper
land and the additional advantage OF
selling direct to the consumer at re-
tail prices.
The figures above are quite as ex-
travagant as are usually found in our
papers. The advantages of such an
enterprise here are cheaper land and
the certainty of at least two crops a
year from good land. Land near large
cities in the East rents for 500 per
acre, we are told. AS interest runs
there such property is worth from
81 800 to $4,000 per acre. Here the
best of vegetable lands with water
rights, may be had at from 500 to $500
per acre. Cabbages, potatoes, toma-
toes, beans and many other vegeta-
bles will mature at least twice year
on our lands. Incredible as it may
seem to many of US, the day
is near at hand when from
South California will 60 a solid
train 365 times year to the East
loaded with fresh vegetables. They will
include such ordinary sorts as cab
bage and potatoes, and will also en-
brace the finer sorts OF caulifower,
peas, beans, celery and tomatoes. As
Mr.. Henderson says he and others
near the large cities would not be con-
tent with a profit Of 5000 an acre, nor
will those vegetable producers in Los
Angeles with profit Of $40O or $500 per
acre for their lands. When that time
comes the land will be worth $1,000
per acre and upwards.

Loss of Speed i'm Planets and Com
ct. Will Cause Them to stop.
Is the motion of planetary bodies
perpetual? At first, everything seems
to show that it is. The earth, which,
with its mass of 5000 trillion tons,
turns with speed which enables a
student to go bare-headed a good
many miles without catching cold in
the act OF saluting a professor, for a
long time defied all attempts to detect
in it loss of speed, but with the fric-
ton of the tides continually at work
such loss must take place, and now
it is pretty certain from the calcu'a'
tions of Adams, the astronomer, that
the earth loses about an hour in II,
900 years, and is coming to rest rath-
er leisurely. So, also, the hurrying
up of the comets as they 60 round
the sun is possibly accounted for by a
retarding action in space which makes
it necessary for them to try and make
up, as it were, for lost time and in
fact the general arguments in the
present day are in favor of what Sil
Isaac Newton believed-that the mo-
tons of all bodies in space are suffer
ing retardation, and that their veloc
| ity is becoming less and will ulti

most alarming as to the condition OF
the Crown Prince of Germany. 1t
will be recalled to mind that during
the long illness of the. late President
Grant, who suffered from throat COM
plaint quite akin to the ailment of the
German prince, F uropean physicians
laughed somewhat immoderately at
their American brethren, alleging that
any bat empiricists in the medical
profession would be able to come to
some definite conclusions as to the di-
sease, its nature, progress and prob
able termination. When the late
President Garfield lay suffering from
the effects of Guiteau's wound, the
American faculty underwent the same
course of scathing criticism at the
hands of the profession in the Old
World. The current history Of
poor Prince Fritz's illness gives
the doctors Of this country fine op-
portunity to return in kind this un-
kindness Of their confreres across the
big ferry. The patent fact is that the
attendant physicians in these cases
prefer to err on the hopeful side Of the
matter. They hold out promise of
recovery so long as there is the least
ground for such a course, and the pa
tient is always in more danger than
the bulletins indicate. The late in
stance of our lamented Governor
Bartlett is another case in point.
Prince Bismarck is not mislead by
the hopeful tone OF the physi-
clans report on the Princes health.
His proposal to grant Prince Will
lam Regency rights, in the event Of
the simultaneous disability Of the EN-
peror and the Crown Prince, betrays
his view of the gravity of the situa-
ton. Bismarck fears a speedy fatal
termination of the Crown Princes all
ment, and that the shock, when it
com es, will deal hardly with the aged
Emperor. The Kaiser's heart is
bound up in his son. The circum-
stances of his situation are in many re-
spects similar to that of the Emperor.
In early days Emperor William be.
lieved solely in the army as
the means OF governing the King
dom of Prussia. But he was
a man of most mature years be
fore he came to the throne.
By that time the military idea had
become modified, and as the EN-
peror, on the verge Of the grave, looks
back he cannot help but realize that
to such modification Of his earlier
views is to be attributed much of the
success Of his reign. The Grown
Prince, too, as he approaches sixty
years Of age, has cooled, in g
great degree, from the military ar
dor of younger years. He is quite
ready to take the sceptel
as it drops from the hands o
the aged Emperor, and carry on the
Governm ent substantially on the sam
lines oil. policy. Prince William is
younger man. In the hot blood of hi'
youth is known to run all the war
like fervor OF his race. His ac
cession to the throne wouit
be OF most crucial nature to hi
country, to Europe and to the world

a Destructive Storm.

Last Sunday night week hail fell in
Eastern Kansas, it is stated, to depth,
in some places. of three feet. The
stones were in many instances as big
as walnuts. The effect of hail Of this
quality and quantity, accompanied by
fierce winds, was, of course, very de-
structive. Crops were ruined and
cattle were badly injured. The cy-
clone to which the hail-storm of Kan
sas IVES due appears to have been of
wide extent. In Eastern Ohio, Yves
tern Pennsylvania and West Virginia,
rain and hail fell in torrents and the
wind was very violent. At Bridge
port, Bellaire and Canton, Ohio, per-
sons were killed or MORALLY hurt.
Great damage was done to buildings,
crops, fruit, &c. In parts of Wes-
tern Pennsylvania tie haiistones were
as large as hen eggs. Near Raven
wood, West Virginia, and at Charles
ton, in the same State, persons were
killed. Lancaster, Pennsylvania,
reports the most destructive fall of
nail in century. The hailstones
perforated roofs, broke through win
dows, mutilated trees and fattened
the fields of grain. One man was
killed, and ten others were seriously
injured by a stroke of lightning at
Milenburg, in Louisiana.

at Columbus, Ohio, Wednesday eve
ming, with the Hon. Allan G.. Thur
man in regard to the use of his name

Mr.. Thurman repeated to this cor

sentative of the Baltimore Sun Mon
day evening, isthat he was not a can
didate for any Office and that it was
''his earnest desire that his friends
would consult his wishes, and permit
him to remain in retirement" But
it is the impression of the cores
pondent of the Commercial Gazette,
formed after an extended CONVERSE
ton, that while Mr.. Thurman will not
authorize the presentation of his name
to the st. Louis convention, he would
reluctantly acquiesce in the party's
call if nominated by acclamation, and
without chickering's of any kind. Mr..
Thurman says his health is excellent.
