NoRE TIMBER SUIrs.-Last week
Secretary Noble requested that
civil and criminal suits be insti-
tuted against Clio Coverazlo and
a. Mastratter of Eureka county,

cut from unsurveved non-mineral
public lands in Eureka county
about $50 cords OF wood, of which
about $50 cords have been burned
into charcoal. The value OF the
wood is given a. $3.50 per cord,
and the charcoal is valued at II
cents per bushel. The agent re-
ports the trespass as willful.

NAN AND WOMAN.

San Francisco is convulsed owe
the proposition as to whether tn,
term gentleman" is better thai
man. or .flady" better than woman
Man means a great deal more thar
gentleman.
President Harrison was alluded
to all through the campaign as ga
strong man." but John Doe Tomp-
kins, the party who ran the Ice
cream parlors, was always alluded
to in the papers as can afable
gentleman"
No one thought OF calling the in
significant Tompkins man, be-
cause he had not become one, but
he was a gentleman, because he
knew how to treat his lady guests
with courtesy and see them out OF
the door with bow and smile.
Gladstone and John Bright are
alluded 10 as "men." Lincoln,
Grant, eft al, as "men whom tie
nation reveres." Who would have
spoken of these men as ''elegant
gentlemen"
Ward McAllister, the New York
leader OF society, is mentioned as
a gentleman, because he can appear
well in drawing room and leads
the german to perfection, but he is
never seen in places where "men"
coDgresate.
There is nothing in the lives,
characters or make-ups of such peo-
pie that "gives the world assurance
of man."
So it is with the word "woman."
Charlotte Cushman, George Elliott,
Mrs. Hemans, Alice Cary, Scott
Siddons, will be spoken Of as "great
women" as long as the language
they helped to enrich and give force
to shall exist, but they will never
be spoken of as "great ladies'" be-
cause the word woman" means so
much more than "lady."
The girls who sell ribbons over
the counters of the stores in San
Francisco are very anxious to be
called ladies, but their little minds
never aspire to be ranked among
the notable "women" of the world.
Such an idea is beyond the horizon
OF their thoughts. To sum the
question up, females with brains,
genius and capacity above their
kind can be alluded to as "wonen"
but when the female does not
amount to much and can
dress well, one must be very par
ticular and give her the title Of
lady. The ones who are not quite
sure that they have right to the
title are the ones who make the
biggest outcry when they don't get
it.
Let every man try also 10 be a
gentleman and every woman a
lady and let no one loose sight of
The fact that the good old Anglo
Saxon terms OF man and woman
ire fit to be applied TO kings and
lueeSs, aud generally are.

important commercial centers
advocating more vigorous &C
ton on the part of the merchants
and manufacturers than has vet
been taken. They appear det-
ermined now to secure if possible
parliamentary supervision of
freight charges. To this end they
have taken steps to form a league
to extend throughout the United
Kingdom: which will endeaver to
secure from sittings members of
parliament pledges to vote
for parliamentary supervision.
Where such pledges are not given
the league will throw all it's in
fuence against the members re-
fusing, regardless of party affilia-
lions. The recent course of rail
way legislation in the United
States has evidently had it's effect
in stirring up the movement. The
situation is an interesting one,
and its~outcome will be regarded
with interest.

Jefferson Davis.

If the ex-president of the southern
Confederacy had lived till May II, 1890,
he would have seen the twenty fifth an
niversary of his downfall and capture by
Wilson's cavalrymen at Irwinsville, Ga.
There is very general belief to this day
that when captured he was seeking to
escape in woman's clothing. Later facts
obtained seem to disprove this.
A cry of rage went through the loyal
north when Davis was admitted to bail
and suffered to get off with his life after
the collapse of the Confederacy, but the
verdict of the present is that it was the
right thing. Even if the spirit of ven
geance was to be satisfied, no punish
ment could be greater than living
through all these long drawn out years
in the midst of the wreck and ruin of all
his hopes, himself wreck and ruin.
For quarter of a century Mr.. Davis
has been relic, like the Confederate
flag, relic the sight of which awakened
cherished emotions and memories. Like
the Confederate flag, he has been brought
out on stated occasions, to be seen of the
people who fought for the Confederacy.
Like the flag, he is now laid away in the
silence.

December Astronomy.

If you look into the southwestern sky
just after sunset, you will see a large
and beautiful planet. It is Jupiter, the
evening star. Early in January, soon
after the sun starts northward, it will
disappear. For a few weeks it will be
invisible; then it will smile on is again
as a morning star. Venus il now seen
by people who rise before daylie hit. She
will remain the morning star till about
Feb. ID: then she will be the evening
star, making the night radiant. Many
will recall her glory of last March and
April.
The most important event of the
month, and of the whole year, will be
the total eclipse of the sun, on the 21st.
The expedition the United States gov
eminent sent to Africa to see and photo
graph it has already arrived at it's desti-
nation. Eighteen hundred and eighty
nine is remarkable in astronomical an
mails as witnessing two total eclipses of
the sun. Two such eclipses in one year
are very rare.
The 21st is the shortest day of the
year. There will be less than nine and
one-half hours of sunlight.

CAMP RELEASE ALLIANCE.
MONTEvEDIo, 12-4-S9.


A meeting. of two Alliance was held
on the I'd OF this month and 4 new
members taken fn. Alter debating
upon the topics of the day and
shaking fists at the monopolists,
wheat kings and railroad thieves, a
committee of two was appointed to
confer with a neighboring Alliance
about finding a place where we can
buy our groceries and dry goods at
reasonable figures, also a movement
about shipping our own wheat, or to
build mill. An order was given
to the Secretary to request the
GREAT WEST Co. to send a dozen or
two sample copies of their esteemed

For the fiscal year ending June 50,
1899, the total receipts of the United
States treasury were 1887 ,050, 059. "a.
Nearly 1914, ZOO. 900 came from customs
and nearly s1so,ooo,0o from internal
revenues. Secretary Window is in favor
of tariff revision.
For 1890 the estimated treasury re-
ceipts will reach the sum of 1886, 600, 900;
the estimated expenses of government
$293, 000,0 900. After all available bonds
have been purchased and the require
ments of the sinking fund satisfied, there
will still remain net surplus ofover $751;
100000, some of which Secretary Win
dom thinks might we'll be used to enlarge
our foreign markets. He is decidedly
of opinion that part of the money should
be paid to American steamship lines, to
enable them to compete with subsidized
foreign vessels. He says the United
States has encouraged the building of
railroads by large grants and subsidies,
but has done not one thing for her great
maritime interests, refusing even fair
compensation for services rendered by
steamers to the government.
In 1879 the pension list amounted in
round numbers to 49,, 200, 900. For the
fiscal year ending June 80, 1890, $1O4,-
600, 900 is the amount expected to be re-
quired. Apparently the old war vete-
rams are getting wounded over again.
On the other hand, however, the inter-
est on the public debt amounted, in 1879,
to more than sos, 1000, 900. This year it
will be 100000. We are going to get
rid of that money somehow.
Under existing laws, the internal rev.
enue receipts will be increased this year
to $135, 100000. The tax on tobacco
alone will not be less than $50, OOO, 900 for
the coming year unless congress takes it
off. In that case the surplus will be re-
duced by that amount. A tax of over
S5,O00,000 is at present collected from
5000, 600 gallons of alcohol consumed in
the industrial arts and in medicines.
Mr.. Window pronounces this tax unjust
and says it should be removed.

WINDOWS Wisdom as to Silver.

Secretary WINDOWS recommendations
on the silver question will be discussed
with perhaps more interest than any
other part of his report. The United
States is the largest silver producing
country in the world, and therefore more
deeply interested in this question than
any other.
The secretary of the treasury recon-
mends a law passed opening the United
States minis as places of deposit for silver
bullion rated at 412.5 grains to the dollar
in value. In return for the silver de-
posted, its owner receives from the mint
United States treasury notes which shall
be lawful money of the country for all
purposes. Mr.. Window sums up his
recommendation in the following plain
words:
Issue treasury notes against deposits of silver
bullion at the market price of silver when depos-
tied. payable demand in such quantities of sill.
bullion will equal in value, at the date of
presentation, the number of dollars expressed on
the face Of the notes at the market price of silver
in gold, at the option of the government; or In
silver dollars at the option of the holder Repeal
the compulsory feature of the present coinage
act.

POLITICAL ASTRONOMY.

We have some communications
from our friend Erie Olson, formerly
of the Labor Echo. Too late for
publication this issue, but will find a
place right soon. He opens up thus:

Congress.
silence.

Not for fourteen years, until this win
ter, has the Republican party had both
houses of congress. The last time was
when Grant was president and Blaine
speaker of the house, from 1878 to 1875.
The Republicans have had control of the
house only once since 1875. That was
in the Forty congress-, when
Gen. Keifer was speaker, from 1881 to
1888. But then they did not have the
senate, it being composed of thirty-seven
Democrats and thirty-seven Republicans,
with two Independents, who consequent
ly had the voting mostly their own way.
The majority the Republicans have in
both houses will probably shorten the
contested election cases, and lessen their
bitterness. The Republican majority is
decided enough for working purposes, in
any case, and therefore it will not be
worth while to fight to the bitter end
over the contested seats.
AS the list of survivors of the late war
grows smaller, the pension list, by con-
trariness of arithmetic, grows constantly
larger. The pension question will have
to be overhauled thoroughly by some
congress soon, and it is likely to be forced
on the present one. Free coinage of
silver. is another rallying cry that comes
ripping across the country to the ear of
congress from the Rocky mountains and
western prairies.

Some of the South Carolina railroads
have found way to ''solve the race
problem" as far as their connection with
it goes. They provide two sets of cars
in train, the cars as like as two peas,
one exactly as good and handsome as
the other. Then they say to white pas
sengers, "You sit in this car" and to
the black one, "You occupy that"
There is no discrimination, there is only
separation. The plan is said to work to
the satisfaction of both, so much 80 that
the governor of the state, in his annual
message, thought it of sufficient impor-
lance to commend it officially.

New New ENGLAND.

1.-THE old home life of New England is
dying out" writes Adirondack Murray in
The Boston Globe, land we men and
women who were of it, and loved it, are
dying, too: for we have come to evil
times"
Pathetically the reverend gentleman
writes of the deserted homes and farm
houses of New England. A strange
change has indeed come to New England.
It is genuine revolution, only it has
been so gradual that none noticed it till it
was accomplished. Forty years ago Bos-
ton was greater publishing center than
New York. Nearly all the literature
worth the name also originated in New
England. It nodded the thought and
education of the whole north.
Now all has changed. The publishing
business has almost left Boston. 1t is an
infallible index of the change that has
come over the whole section. Writers
and orators are scattered over the whole
country, but few of them hail from the
Yankee states. There are immense fac
tories and busy machine shops in Massa-
chusetts and Connecticut, but no leaders
of thought and learning. There is no
Emerson, no Wendell Phillips, no Mar
garet Fuller. There is not even any
longer Concord School of Philosophy.
The glory of New England has departed,
never to return.
The Yankee Of the future will be the
descendant of the Swede, the Irishman,
and most of all, of the French Canadian.
He will be as Numerically opposite the
old-time Yankee in character as one
white man can be unlike another. At
present rates of the race revolution, in
twenty-five years more there will not be
enough of the original Yankee stock in
New England to celebrate Thanksgiving.

How would it seem to have an Amer
lean pope? It is claimed that there is
really a strong movement in favor Of
transferring the papal supremacy to
America after the death of Leo XIII.
In that case the favorite candidate for
pope would be Cardinal Gibbons, of Bal
timore. Many American Catholics have
reached the opinion that interests so vast
as those of their church in America can
not be properly directed from Italy.

but the principal on this sum, over
three times as much as it cost to
build the line. Besides this, the peO-
pie of Mile Laos County gave to Mr..
Hill as a pro rata gift $4,000 acres OF
land for those 80 miles, or 1900 acres
to the mile of road, worth $3.50 an
acre by their own estimate. To the
one million charged against your
farmers, we now add $4,000 for
the land ION their own statement)
and now $4,000 in bonuses, and you
have ''fat take for the Railroad :
81 .362, 900 for 80 miles of road which
cost far less than $4,000 If you
doubt that cost statement we can
arrange to get at the figures. We
can easily draw out the contracts
for construction. We would like to
enter into q plan to do this, and it
would probably not cost much-less
than a hundred dollars. The origin
al subcontracts can be obtained.
Now, gentlemen, do we candidly
think it is right that our people
should pay nearly five times what a
thing costs, to say nothing of inter-
est, because Hill built it. Instead of
running into debt over II hundred
thousand dollars it would have cost
you 3 hundred thousand. We have
said nothing of the elevator out
RACES which go along with it, nor
merchandise freight wrongs.

$500 FOR 80 MILES.

A letter from Prof. Allison was
waylaid enroute, in some way, so
that we did not get it in time to pub
lish it entire. We will insert the fol-
lowing, however, and crowd some
thing out:
The poverty of the H. & D. Div of
the Milwaukee & st. Paul has COMPEL
ed the management to suspend the
through day train. This change has
put the whole travelling public
through this populous district, as
also the commercial travellers and
others, to much inconvience. Irode
forty miles yesterday in a miserable
caboose on a freight train. There
were fourteen passengers with first
class tickets in this pen. Three of
these were ladies, one carrying an in
FAINT four months old. A dozen bags
OF meal were lying around the caboose
and grips and other truck were piled
up in corners. Several frst-class
passengers were obliged to stand. To
complete the scene, the presence of
the railroad commissioners was all
that was necessary.
A loaded wheat train passed us en-
route to Minneapolis with twenty
cars of wheat, carrying the precious
product to the great mills for eight
cents bushel. No wonder the road
is poor, it was paid only $500 for
drawing that load 90 miles.

A western genius has applied for a
patent for throwing, by means of cleo
tricity, notices, signs and pictures upon
the heavy smoke clouds that overhang
cities. The effect would be weird and
wonderful beyond description. 1t would
be the greatest godsend to the adver-
tisers. Think of a man who has been
defeated at every turn in life, raising his
eyes to heaven at last for help, and see-
ing craven in letters of fire on a black
pail the words: "Sold Everywhere" Or
how will it seem to the despairing wretch
about to take his own life and end his
misery, when he lifts his glance for last

The opening of the senate witnessed
an interesting scene that is rather un-

go out at the same time.
