steamer Dispatch into the mud of the Potomac
river should call attention to the fact that he
had used the Government steamer to take his

ages from the Lehigh Valley Railroad in an
amicable settlement of her case, is the subject

remarkable surgical operations that have been

taken from living persons, have removed the
blemish and cured her of torturing headaches

The operations have also partially resi- ored

objects that pass before her face. With the
cures being further perfected. it is believed she

A good man out West is in peck of
trouble. He is Professor Winchell of Minne-
sofa. and his love OF science led him into his
present difficulty. Some time ago he bought
66 pound meteor of man named Hoagland
who lived in Iowa, and placed it in his geo.
logical collection. 1t appears now, that the
meteor was not Hoagland's to sell, since the
field from which he dug it belonged to an
other man. Hoagland's only claim to it was
the fact that he saw 1t fall and afterward
dug it up. The owner of the land has sued
Prof Winchell for the recovery of ''his
meteor" which he claimed was given him by
dispensation of Providence. The ablest
legal minds in the state are said to be wrest-
ling with the case which is entirely without
precedent in the state The lower court has
just decided that the meteor belongs not to
the man who saw it come to earth, and dug
1t up. but to him on whose land it CHANGED
to fall. The professor has appealed to the
state supreme court Mr.. Hoagland appears
to have made mistake In the first place, in
not stalking out mining claim on his neigh
boris land. Had he done so, all of the sub
sequent legal proceedings might have been
dispensed with.

The New Orleans Times-Democrat declares
that the lottery question belongs to
the people Of Louisiana alone. and
1t Is for them and not the Federal
government to settle It, If the sale of lottery
tickets were confined to the state of Louis
lana nobody would dissent from this doctrine,
but when the company undertakes to ply its
swindling business all over the country then
1t becomes the affair of somebody beside
the state of Louisiana and It's people. But
we are bound to say that the argument of the
Times Democrat when applied to the lottery
Is no worse than when applied to.congress-
ional elections at the South. The election
OF congressman in the Southern states is no
more state affair than the lottery company
of Louisiana. The latter sell their tickets
all over the country and Southern
congressman pass laws which affect
the whole country. The same log
ic which condemns the Interference of
Federal authority in Southern congressional
elections must, to be consistent, also con-
denim interference with the Louisiana lot
terry. II 1t is right for the government to
take measures to suppress scheme which
defrauds people Of the country out of their
money 1t cannot be wrong for it to suppress
schemes which defraud people out of their

sentative of the sjority of the legal voters

GUS blow to the Canadian agriculturist. He
may be able to find other markets to take the
place IN part OF the one he is about to lose,
though that's very doubtful, for in the past
repeated efforts have been made to open
trade with the West India islands with very
indinerent success. But IL he succeeds 10
nnoing market to make up the deficiency
In part 1t will be only In part. At
this discrimination against her products
the Dominion has little reason to complain.
For years she has maintained practically
prohibitive tariff against our manufactures,
policy Of course which she had perfect
right to adopt, but which having been adopt
ed, estops her from finding fault with
similar policy on our part with regard to her
agricultural products.
But the most interesting question in this
connection is, What effect will the exclusion
of Canadian products from our markets
have upon the relations between this
country and the Dominion? Will 1t
drive the two countries farther apart, or will
it tend to bring them nearer together, and
hasten the manifest destiny of them both
which is to form one nation under one
government. EXcluSlOu VI Iuo DOMlulOu
farmer from our markets means practically
that If he raises surplus above the amount
needed for home consumption he cannot dis
pose of it, and as the population of the Do
minion is small and not increasing rapidly.
and the agricultural class constitutes large
per cent OF it, the closing of our mar
kets further signifies that the agri-
cultural industry of the Dominion
must be restricted within very mar
row limits, and that the people engaged
In it are destined to exc out very scanty in
come. When once, therefore, the Canadian
farmer becomes convinced that the markets
Of the United States are permanently closed
against him so long as he remains citizen
of foreign country, self preservation is GER
tain to impel him to change his status, either
by emigration to this country or by annexa-
ton. But emigration on large scale will
probably be out Of the question. 1t would
imply the abandonment of his property in
the Dominion at a great sacrifice. Annexa-
ton, therefore, is almost certain to be the
remedy which the Canadian farmer will seek
to apply. 1t will practically be forced upon
him as the only resource that promises re-
lief
