Seventy Thousand New Farms.

The large falling off Of immigration
into this country for the first half of this
year could not be explained till the re-
ports from our ConsulS in South America
were received. 1t seems that the stream
Of population has been diverted to the
south Of us. Emigrants are now pour
ing into the Argentine Republic, for one
country, at the rate Of $4,000 month.
1t is we'll By every law of adaptation
a large proportion of the emigrants that
have come to us lately are better suited
to the Spanish republics than to the
United States.
The decrease of immigration, together
with the opening this year of large tracts
of new government land, ought to re-
lieve to a considerable degree the pres
sure from oversupply of laboring popu-
lation. The Chippewas in Minnesota and
Wisconsin have given up 4,000,000 acres
of their lands.
In South Dakota our commissioners
simply badgered the Sioux Indians into
signing the treaty which will add to our
domain II 100000 acres of the choicest
farming lands. These fertile lands ex-
tend from the Missouri river to the Black
Hills on the west, and the United States
pays S14,000,000 for them. They formed
half the Sioux reservation and part of
the Winnebago Grow Creek reservation.
The land altogether will cut up into
farms for 70, 900 families.
All the leading Indians signed but Sit
ting Bull The way the signatures were
obtained was we'll explained by Chief
Calf, one Of the last to give in. He said:
My Indians have signed because told them to,
after learning tho government could take our
lands for nothing if it wanted to. The whites
have now got our lands and hope they will be
satisfied and let us live in peace in the future.

The Ottawa Citizen, up in Canada, has
S to say anent the seizure by the Rush
the twopenny seal stealing vessel in
1hring sea:
The truth is, statesmen of the caliber of Web
ter and Clay do not now reach maturity on
he southern portion of this continent. Ped
-lling politicians seeking after notoriety, and
professors of brag and duplicity appear to
have monopozed all places Of importance and
now intent upon forcing issues with a country
whose people are rapidly learning to deSpise, not
ear them. The recent shameful act of piracy
0mmtted upon Canadian vessel in Behring sea
absolutely unjustihable and has only one re-
deemng feature, namely, that it will bring the
whole question under consideration, and the Wash
ington authorities will be obliged to apologize, as
well as to recoup the owners of the vessels they
interfered with If this is not done what is left of
Yankee naval effects will probably disappear from
more seas than Behring's.
Good gracious! So you think you can

Know that somebody must protect the
seals and confne the seal fishing indus
try within certain limits, or these pretty
and useful creatures will be swept off
the earth in few years by the skin
1ints and thieves of our own nation and
yours and others. And the great ma
jestic United States is the proper power
to protect the seal industry.

The Largest Fleet.

England and Germany are great
friends just now. In order to convince
Emperor William what desirable thing
her friendship was, England showed
him fleet of war ships making line
five miles long. But this was not all the
English navy by any means. 1t was
only the vessels in European waters.
Other sQuadrons-the Pacific, Asiatic
and othcrs-were not represented at all.
The vessels at the Spithead review,
which are now practicing their annual
evoIutions and maneuvering, number
1l3 They constitute the most powerful
fleet ever brought together in one place.
There were twenty more vessels than
assembled last year.
The largest vessel at Spithead was the
huge ironclad Inflexible, vessel Of H.
$50 tons, carrying 480 ton guns. This is
the heaviest ship in the British navy.
Her armor on the water line is two feet
thick
From the heavy ironclads the ships
ranged all the way down through cruis-
ers and coast defense ships to gun boats
and torpedo boats. The vessels that in,
terest Americans most in this fleet were,
however, q number of new, swift, unar-
mored cruisers. They are Of nearly 5000
tons displacement and can travel from
nineteen to twenty knots an hour.
The force to man this feet of 113 YES
sells numbers 81 900 men. Yet such is
the improvement in naval warfare that
these count for as many as $4,000 would
have done in the days when Lord Mel
son won his famous victory. A broad
sidc,sl~m large ship then consumed
pounds of powder. Now it burns
10 pounds.

S. FL. Palmer is the man who, it
seems, has really invented machine
for utilizing some of the terrific water
power that runs to waste at Niagara.
The main feature of his invention is an
endless steel chain, 200 feet long and 20
feet wide. Each link in the chain Is a
small turbine wheel All these wheels
turn and furnish tremendous power
when the chain is set crosswise of the
torrent.
Recent developments in the steerage
passenger business go to show that cat
tie shipped over seas are good deal bet
ter cared for and less crowded than the
human emigrants who cross with some
OF the steamship lines.

How They Arc Found Out.

Several strange cases of persons lead
ing double lives have been noted recent
~. In one instance man who was one
of the chief figures in famous "twin
soul" romance was found to be a swim
dler with long string of aliases and
wives, He had been obliged to pass
through long and deep and wide exper-
ience before he found his true affinity
and could thereafter pose as saint.
He thought he had hidden his tracks
we'll, But all his past life was found
out, and even his original name was un-
earthed though it was so covered up
with aliases Heaven knows how these
facts come out, but they do, and the
man who WAS just now a spiritual healer
and twin soul is a ruined swindler,
with no refuge but flight and disgrace.
y lady was married recently in one
Of our cities who was supposed to be a
widow. She was wealthy and of the
highest social standing Yet no sooner
wa5 she welded than newspaper report
ers publish the fact that she has had for
years an insane husband in an obscure
asylum, and immediately all the world
is on the Qui vive to find out whether in
the interests of society she had ever been
divorced from him Once more. how
was it found out?
Yet again, Il man recently drew much
attention to himself as brilliant finan-
cier. Money seemed to be lavish, and
the young Napoleon was on the high
road to fortune, Suddenly the card
house collap5eS, and then somebody has
known all along that the young Napo-
leon was fOrger and an embezzler, and
that even his name had been changed.
Once more, a prominent politician was
divorced from his faithful wife of a
quarter of a century He treated the
matter lightly. 1t was wholly private
affair, ia which the public had no inter
est, he said. But Immediately the pub
lie rose about the distinguished citizen
like whirlwind, and by this time he is
ENTHUSIASTICALLY SOI1h IuSSu IIlItI GIS
has the keenest possible interest in his
divorce case, For the public discovered
that his wife said she had no divorce
and never applied for one, and that if a
decree had been obtained it was fraudu-
lent. The public believed itself to have
ascertaincd, satisfactorily also, that the
distinguished citizen all these years had
been living, like the famous Jim Bludsoe
of the Prairie Belle, with
One wife in Natchez-under-the-h hill
And 'tother down here in Pike.
No matter how far below surface are
the undercurrents in our lives, it seems
that sooner or later they must all come
to the top. The hidden things shall be
revealed. And the moral? Well, the
moral is found in the text of the old col
ored preacher:
Bruddern, keep in de middle OBJ de road.

How Jolly and honorable and altogether

How jolly and honorable and altogether
comfortable it must be to be invited to
dinner and then be put into a separate
dining room because one is not quality
enough to eat with the host who invited
him. Yet that was the insult put upon
the premier Of England himself, Lord
Salisbury, on the occasion of Emperor
William S visit to grandmamma recent
ly. The man ON whose shoulders at
present rest the destinies of Great Brit
ain was not good enough to stretch his
legs under the same mahogany with the

Bills have been introduced into some
of the Legislatures making appropriations
for United States flag to float over
every school house in the state. It is
true that every school house ought to
have flag to wave above it on high oc-
casions. Some things should be left to
the patriotism of school children and
their parents, however, and this is one
of them. A flag bought by the sub
scriptions and efforts of the children
themselves would be worth dozen such
banners provided by the state.
