CARTER HARRISON, wh6 is travelling in
China, says there is no such thing as s
Chinese wall, and that there never has
been. The same story WAS told
in little book issued year
ago by Catholic missionary,

drive abreast on II, and others still, that
they had sung "O7er the garden wall" 10

4 TIMBER STEAL.

There is Scotch company with ali
English president that has been land
grabbing extensively in California. They
employed several hundred men at $50
apiece to go into the Land Office, swesr
they were actual settlers and take up 100
acres Of redwood lands. These they
conveyed Immediately To the Scotch CON-
pany and it's English president until that
corporation had lands the timber on which
was valued at $22. 900. 900. President
Cleveland should have retained Mr.. Ls-
msr in the Interior Department until he
could restore thla land to the people.
Placing the Secretary on the Supreme
bench means that the President will have
to stamp out the iniquity himself; but, he

THAT FARMERS CONVENTION.
The New YORK Tribune attempted to
get up q farmers convention" CT national
proportions of course, and sent out invi-
tations to such horny handed tillers Of
the soil as Warner Miller and old Bill
Grosvenor of Missouri, who used to till
the soil and dress the fowery vale as ed
tor OF the ST. Louis Democra. until he
was "oounced." These gentlemen and a
few others of their ilk did not arrive in
town, IS most farmers do, with pair of
ssddle-riders across their arm, nor did
they put up at the wagon yard or cheap
boarding house. They went to the Fifth
Avenue hotel and were assigned to tirsE-
class rooms, the Tribune paying the bi1I4
Woodpulp Miller made a speech on dairy;
interests, and other speeches were made
on other subjects. The object was to get
3 few old political hacks together, call
them farmers, get them to indorse the
present tariff regulations and conse-
quently Blaine, and they then could return
TO their homes-the Tribune would have
a text. The attempt Gid not succeed.
Very few would accept the Tribune's
