ALTOGETHER TOO oNE.srDED.

ALIObEIHEh IUO ONE- OIDbD.
The conditions which Mr.. Victor G..
Caldwell attaches to his proposition to
donate a thirty-acre tract OF land, near
the south western suburbs, for park pur-
poses, are altogether too one-sided.
The donor asks the city to connect his
land with system OF boulevards and
bind itself to expend not less than two
thousand dollars year, perpetually, in
improving and beautifying the park
and, furthermore, to exempt from mu-
nicipal taxation large tract of land
surrounding the proposed park.
AS business proposition these con-
ditions are tantamount to saying to the
city, 81 am willing to set apart a thirty
acre tract of unimproved land II you
will agree to put improvements upon 1T
and around it that will increase the
value Of the remaining land ten times
as much as the thirty acres are now
worth, with the incidental chance OF
the whole thirty acres reverting back
to me in case you fail to expend two
thousand dollars in any one year, even
fifty years hence"
Leaving out of view the request to
exempt Mr.. Caldwell's adjoining land
from taxation for ten years, which can
not be done legally, the park commits
sioners can not with propriety accept
Mr.. Caldwell's donation. The city can
better afford to wait un Til the next legis-
lature grants Omaha the right to issue a
half million or million dollars in
bonds for the purchase of grounds suit
able for park purposes, than make a
compact that will tie up the present and
future generation of taxpayers to ex-
pend a fixed sum of money on lands ac-
quired on Mr.. Caldwell's plans.
If the owners of dry land desire to
to improve it by parking portion
thereof, let them donate their land out
right to the city on the condition that
it shall be dedicated and kept up as a
park. Nobody will, of course, object to
allowing the donor to name the park.
But there should be no strings attach ed
to the donation that would give the
owner privileges of greater value than
the land itself.

ILL-ADVISED CRITICISM.

There were two features of the dedI-
cation of the national monument to the
pilgrim fathers last Thursday which
have elected criticism. These were the
selection of Congressman Breckenridge,
of kentucky, rs orator OF the occasion,
and John Boyle O'Reilly as the poet.
The objection made to these gentlemen
is that one is southerner and the other
an Irishman. The criticism on this
score is narrow, ill-advised and un-
worthy of the spirit OF the age. I'M
questionably u northern man equally as
able and eloquent as Mr.. Breckenridge
could have been selected as the ora
tor OF this celebration, but why
should sectional consideration have
had anything to do with the ded-
ication OF a monument to the memory
of the pilgrims who landed at Plymouth
two hundred and sixty-nine years ago9
The event was OF national character,
and had not the remotest relation to any
political conditions OF the present. The
men who sowed the first seeds Of civil
liberty on this continent bequeathed an
inheritance common to all who have
succeeded them. Their posterity IL
widely scattered throughout the land

they lived are perpetuated in the con
stitutions and the laws OF the nation

HOPE FOR THE AGED.

Whom DR.. Brown-Sequard announced
some time ago that he had discovered
an elixir which would prolong human
denim the claim of the eminent ply
sician as utterly absurd was DR.. William
A. Hammond, of Washington. This
equally eminent medical authority was
of the opinion that the claim was an
evidence of dotage, and he gave what
appeared to be very cogent reasons for
the beliof that there could be nothing
other doctors more or less eminent coin
cided with the views of DR.. Hammond.
1t appears, however, that subse-
quently DR.. Hammond became i'm
pressed with different idea, and was
led to himself experiment on the lines
laid down by DR.. Brown-Sequard. The
result is the announcement that the
former Is convert to the elixir of life
discovery, having, as is alleged, pro-
duced effects on aged and decrepit per-
sons that have convinced him of the
efficacy of the so-called elixir in re-
lieving decrepitude and prolong-
ing life. DR.. Hammond states that
the preparation of the medicine and
the treatment OF the patient are
very simple. He takes the Sc
lected portion of lamb freshly killed
the other doctor uses rabbit or guinea
pig-and pounds it into pulp in q
mortar. With this he mixes a tea
spoonful or two of water, and the result
is filtered through five Swiss filtering
papers. The fluid, slightly thicker
than water, comes through perfectly
pure and limpid, and this fluid is in
jected into the patients leg or other
portion of his body. DR.. Hammond
claims to have had most remarkable re-
suits from this treatment, and to have
| received advices from Paris of results
no less astonishing, several promi-
nent French physicians having
become converts to the practice.
| The great majority of physicians,
however, continue skeptical, but shall
the aged or decrepit give up hope on
this account? When have doctors
agreed, and when has the world re-
ceived new discovery without casting
| doubt and suspicion upon ltE Ihe ex-
tract from single lamb will be
sufficient for dozen injections, says
DR.. Hammond, and an injection once O
month will suffice to keep a man twenty
or thirty years younger than he really
is, says DR.. Brown-Sequard. Wha'
boom is here for the bent
and hmping veteran who would
like to secure young wife, or the old
boy whose wasted vitality no longer
permits him to enjoy the carousal'
which for years have been only memo
ries. There will be no more descend
ing to the lean and slippered panta
loon" when it is established that the
extract of a single lamb is equal tt

Nothing more strikingly illustrates the in

CHAIRMAN WALKER, Of the Inter

opinion that the relations of the Cana
dian railways to the Interstate COM
merce OF the United States can by no
means be eradicated. He thinks that
by treaty or otherwise Canadian roads
operating in this country should be
made to conform to the interstate COM
merce law. In both these views Mr..
Walker is in accord with sentiment
SO general in the east and west that
it is hardly possible congress can

tion IN conflict with 1t. New
England and the northwest will
be found firmly arrayed against
any measure that may be proposed look
ing to serious restriction OF the rela-
tions of the Canadian railroads to the
commerce of this country. But as to
the treaty arrangement suggested, is
there probability that the Canadian
government could be induced to make
one2 Hardly, if the Canadian roads
should oppose it, as they very likely
would. The problem holds possible
difficulties and complications OF troub-
lesome nature, with the advantages OF
the situation rather on the side OF the
Canadian roads.

Girdle the heathen land.

No blight nor mildew falls;
Nor fierce unrest, nor lust, nor lost ambition
Passes those AIRY walls
Borne on the swell of The long waves. rcced-

The swart commander in hSs leathern

The priests in tone of snow.

Above the setting sun.
And past the headland, northward, slowly
drifting,
The frightened galleon.

Recall the faith of old

gives notice oil his presence as etfectually as

the presence of that offensive animal. His
mouth and cheek are both unnaturally devel-
oped. He manifested his peculiar pad tenn
