Excitement on the Island on the Arrival of
the Fortnight1y Packet.
The arrival of the mail throws Fayal
population then come to town, and>a
hot and steaming crowd packs itself
into the one post-office that the island
possesses. AS the postmaster, plainly
conscious of his Importance on an occa-
sion which happens only once fort
night, advances with the letters to the
little desk which separates the throng
from the offices the stranger is struck
by the ridiculous disproportion between
the size of the crowd and that Of the
packet, a circumstance which is ex-
planned by the fact that every woman
expecting tidings from husband or son
is accompanied apparently by the rest
of the family. The jabber subsidies in
to buzz of suppressed excitement as
the postmaster adjusts his spectacles
with the most exasperating composure.
He calls out the name on the topmost
letter; shrill voice on the confines of
the crowd intimates it's destination,
when half dozen hands are stretched
out to receive it and it is passed over
the heads of the crowd to the fortunate
recipient The buzz is renewed after
each announcements; the postmaster
has constantly to repeat his demand
for silence, in which he is of course
joined by such of the crowd as have not
yet received letter. AS the delivery
proceeds the crowd naturally gets
noisier, and the postmaster becomes hot
and angry with the exertion of shout
ing above the din. Although the num-
Der of letters is small-Christmast
brings quite as large packet to many
a country house at home-the work of
distribution is long, for the circum-
stance that each recipient has on an
average five Or six names, which
Portuguese etiquette seems to demand
shall be duly set forth on such formal
occasion as the dispatch of a letter.

son now who came in 1887. When /
think of those days it brings to mind
the song of the pioneer:

son now who came in 1887. When
think of those days it brings to mlno
the song of the pioneer: y
song for the early times out west,
And our green old forest home,
Whose pleasant memories freshly yet
Across the bosom come;
song for the free and gladstone life,
In the early days we led,
With teeming soil beneath our feet,
And smiling heaven DER our head!
Oh the waves of life danced merrily,
And had joyous flow,
In the days when we were pioneers,
Fifty years ago.
But now our course of life is short;
And from day to day,
We're walking on with hating STEP
And fanting by the way,
Another land more bright than this,
To our dim sight appears,
And on our way to it we'll soon
Again be pioneers
Yet while we linger we may all
backward glance still throw,
To the days when we were pioneers
Fifty years ago.
I received some time ago letter
from an old pioneer that used to live
in Jefferson and was one of the men
who published the first paper in Mil
waukee, "The Milwaukee Sentinel, - in
June, 1881. This man was DIR. Lucius
j. Barber, now deceased.
Lo the poor Indians, where are
they gone? One morning of the spring
wemoved from Jefferson quite num-
Der of Indians came into our house.
One very old squaw came up to me,
took my hand and said, "you darling
pappoose'' and pointed over to the
Jefferson house. [ had not seen her
for twenty years, but she knew me. /
then asked her about her tribe; she
said they had all gone to the happy
hunting ground.
Well, my dear old pioneer friends,
who of us in few years will be here to
tell the story of the early pioneer life
in the wilderness of Wisconsin? fear
to answer. We reach LIES meridian;
we stand there for little while and
then go down the other side of that
beautiful world that we are fast leav-
ing, and soon there will be no pioneer
to tell the story. Should / never have
the pleasure of meeting my old'pioneer
friends again, we shall meet together
in that beautiful world beyond, where
all the dear old pioneers will sing the
sweet songs of days gone by.

IT has been stated that the United
States proposes to purchase Cuba from
Spain for $500, 100000. A reporter from
the New York Sun reports Mr. Blaine to
have said to him in an interview: ''At
present the natural resources of the
Pearl and the Antilles are shamefully
neglected. Were the island to become
part Of the United States there would
on the one hand be almost any amount
of capital at it's disposal to improve its
material condition, and on the other
there would be a market open to her
within couple of days. sail, the like
Of which there does not exist any

But Spain seems not disposed to sell.
The Home Secretary said in the Cortes
a few days ago: I'VE are very much
obliged to the United States for her
good intentions, but let them leave of
counting their untold gold, for there is
no country in the world rich enough to
buy Cuba. Let those who want it come

IT IS asserted that upon the return of
Henry Nj. Stanley to England he will
be naturalized as British subject, for
saking his American adoption and that
the government will confer upon him
higher honors than have ever before
been conferred upon a Journalist or ex-
plorer, which two professions Stanley
combines. So says our esteemed con-
temporary, the Catholic Columbian.
This may satisfy Stanley. AL the hon
ors the English government may heap
upon this explorer, however. bears no
comparison to that Of simply being
known as an American citizen.

WHAT OF THE FUTURE {?

Is there not something for every
thoughtful man to consider IN this
trouble that now exists IN our own
midst to-day between capital and labor?
Is it not time to stop. everywhere
throughout our country, and endeavor
to heal the breach, so fast widening,
lest we reach an end that all must
sooner or later deplore ? Are not the
signs of social upheaval multiplying?
The journalist and he who makes it a
particular object to closely scan the
course of affairs here and elsewhere are
brought face to face with the Tact Of
the changes that have and are taking
place daily in the ideas and aspirations
of the masses Of the people. 1t goes
undisputed that the doctrine that
wealth and property have duties and
responsibilities other than looking af-
ter their own increase and preser walton
has been entirely forgotten by those
who possess them. But a literature has
grown to teeming proportions Of late,
which treats the wealth and property
created by the many and exploited BY
the few as something belonging by
right to, all, exclusively to none. The
time has come when individualism in
the production and distribution Of all
things that enter into human consump-
ton has in reality come to an end. tt

THE CENTENNIAL ANNIVERSARY

Next Tuesday will be a gala day
throughout the length aud breadth of
the land, and from all indications Mn
neapolis will not be found wanting in
the least in showing her patriotism by
cele bratilg the centennial anniversary
of the adoption of the constitution of
the United States-one Of the most i'm
portan5 events in the history OF QUE
country on that day. 1t unnecessary
to state that every Irishman and every
Irish American. who possibly can, will
join most heartily in aiding to make
this occasion one worthy of patriotic
city and a free country. whose flag
every freeman and every lover Of free
dom and good government delights TO
honor and respect.
In the circular which has been sent
out by the committee Oh invitation, all
citizens, irrespective Of party, creed or
nationality, are asked to join hands on
this notable occasion in making the day
one lons to be remembered. This is
certainly broad enough for all, and
should be responded to in that same
generous spirit by all our people. Our
respect for the memory Of Washington
and his co-patriots who braYed so much
that this country might become a free
and independent Republic should be
manifested heartily and periodically on
Tuesday next.

IS noticeable everywhere that capital is
to control all marketable
products in order to prevent the fall of
prices and to make the people pay more
for what they use than the articles
would bring under the old system OF
competition in the open market. This
development we owe to the economic
system falsely named Protection. The
more orthodox economists teach that
'the great law of supply and demand
prices always, and now we
see this law, in all sections of the coun-
try, put to test unoreamed Of by them.
The truth seems to be that the amount
of money has increased so enormously
that those who control it have actually
combined to prevent the country from
ENJOYING its own products. Protective
tariffs ard combinations OF capital
have been set squarely to circumyent
the natural laws, Against this gigan-
tic iniquity mankind is everywhere re-
belling and that rebellion is the form
which the outraged law takes to read
just itself. Damned up water produces
stagnation, rank growths and malar-
ious exhalatlons, so vast boards of
wealth have produced state OF society
reeking with vice, luxury and sensuality.
Below the dam all is sterility, poverty,
want and barrenness. But those who
dwell in the dreary valley see and know
the cause of their suffings and have be-
gun to gather their forces for an attack
on the dam that deprives them Of their
just share in the waters of life. II they
are strong enough to knock away the
props and food should follow, not
they, but he who unwisely and avari-
ciously confined the waters will be to
blame. 1t is impossible to suppose that
the working people will long submit to
the system of economic slavery the
money kings throughout the land are
endeavoring to establish.
Let us not deride this fact. It is the
great question of the day, paramount
to all others, and we should calmly and
eranestly consider it together for the
best interests of all. 1t IS something
that has already challenged the deepest
consideration of the best minds in
America, and their verdict is that un-
less the tyranny of wealth be in some
way relaxed and more humane and
beni6cent ideas take possession of those
who now have no thought save how
they can most etfectually beggar their
a revolution more terrible
than any thing the world has ever
known must follow as surely as night
follows day.

TEE London Times was hoaxed cen.
fury ago nearly as badly as in the pres
emit instance by a clever gang of forgers,
who got up a bogus edition of the
French paper L'Eclair, at the time rec
ognized as an authority upon matters
OF International news. The paper con :
tanned what purported to be the text Of
q treaty Of peace between the French
republic and the Emperor of Austria.
A copy was got into the hands of the
correspondence of the Times at Dover,
and from him went to London, where
the alleged treaty was published in the
Times, and was such good and unex-
pected news that the stock market went
up with rush. It was several days be-
fore 1T was discovered that the paper
was forged edition and had been got
