GOLD FROM FARM-LANDs.

haustible fertility and well watered,
and at the same time easily worked, be
ing prepared by nature for the pillow. you
may reasonably expect to find farming
profitable occupation and the farmers in
such country making more than bare
living. Agriculture in such country is
like mining taking gold from
the soil in the shape of the finer grades
of wheat and other cereals, and it pos
sesses the great advantage over mining
that the amount of actual work neces-
sary to make it pay is comparatively
very small.
Upon the great fertile prairies of West
ern Canada, where millions of acres of
the richest land in the world are COM
prised within the Provinces of Mani
itoba, Assiniboia, Alberta, etc, settlers,
old and new, have simply taken gold
from the ground in the shape Of mag
nifcent crops for the season of 1890.
Their gold is golden grain, but it
yields as sure returns as any metal ever
mined. The writer visited farm after
farm in Manitoba the past season
where the yield of wheat averaged from
80 to 80 bushels per acre, and where
oats yielded frequently 75 bushels per
acre of choice grain. Upon one farm of
1,sO0 acres, the crop of wheat and oats
was close to $4,000 bushels, and of this
the first lot of 90, 900 bushels of wheat
was sold for SIC and soc per busheL
Close beside this large farm was small
one from which the owner had taken
| his first crop. He had started with no
| capital the year before, yet his crop of
| wheat was 1000 bushels and the quality
was so good that he got S5c per bushel
| for it, one cent bushe1 more than his
wealthy neighbor, which meant just
| $3.50 for his first season in wheat alone.
With climate peculiarly adapted to
grain-growing, and population repre-
senting nearly every nation, Western
Canada offers to the settler a most
| favorable chance to succeed among
friends or fellow countrymen of his own.

BANKS OF DEPOSIT,

Sent to Congress.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 19.-In response
to a resolution Of the House of Repre-
sentatives, Acting Secretary Nettleton
has sent to that body a list showing the
names of the several banks in which
the public money is deposited, the pur-
pose for which deposited, the town and
State in which depository is situated
and the date of designation OF each
bank as a depository. 1t shows that
there are 202 of these banks. 1877 OF
which are marked General and fifteen
marked Surplus The banks marked
General" the Acting Secretary ex-
plains, have active accounts, receiving
or discussing public moneys daily, and
were designated as repositories for the
convenience of public officers in their
vicinity, engaged in the collection and
disbursement of public money. Those
marked Surplus" have inactive &C
counts, simply receiving on deposit to
the credit of the Treasurer of the Unit
ed States when first designated, the
amount they were allowed to hold in
proportion to the amount of United
States bonds furnished as security
therefor. and there has since been no
change in the accounts, except for the
purpose of reducing the holdings of the
repositories by transfer to the sub.
treasury. No interest, the Acting Sec
rotary says, has been or is now paid
into the Treasury by any OF such depos-
itories in return for the use or the pub
lie funds. The authority to designate
such banks as repositories Of public
moneys is contained in section 1853

BANKER kEANs FAILURE.

He Gives Up Every Thing to tho Last Ten
Dollar Note.
CHICAGO, Dec. 19.-S. A. Kean, doing
banking business under the name Of
g A. Kean & Co.. made an assignment
in the county court this morning to
Benjamin I. Jacobs, as arranged
for last night. The assets and
liabilities were not stated. The as
signment in addition to the banking
interests, is of Mr.. Kean's personal es-
tate, and in the language of his attor-
ney the banker came down town this
morning with but $40 in his pocket, all
he possessed in the world. His home in
Evanston and all real estate here and
elsewhere is now in the assignee's
hands, to be converted into cash for
the benefit of creditors. The failure is
the result of steady drain on the
finances Of the institution for the past
two weeks. Over $500. 900 has been
withdrawn during that time.

the admission OF Idaho and Wyoming
will take its place. Saturday, according
to the regular order of business, is
devoted to the consideration of bills on
the calendar to which no objection is
made; but this order may very possibly
be set aside. The failure of the house
to pass the legislative appropriation bill
Saturday leaves it to come up tO-mor-
row as unfinished business. The pre-
vious question has been ordered, so that
a vote on the passage of the measure
will probably be reached shortly after
the session of the day begins. After it
is out of the way district matters will
occupy the attention of the house, the
Rock Creek Park bill coming up
as unfinished business. The present
intention is to press the silver
bill, and it will probably be called
up on resolution to be reported
by the committee on rules allowing
two days for it's discussion. Carrying
out the caucus plan, the pension COM
mittee is to be given day for the con-
sideration of the service pension bill.
and the committee on public buildings
is to have the same privilege in order
to dispose of the bills it has reported:
The diplomatic appropriation bill will
probably be passed with little discus
sion, as it involves no changes in the
law. No time has yet been allotted on
the river and harbor appropriation bill:
but, as there are a large number OF
members who desire to see that measure
passed before the tariff bill comes up,
they may be able to succeed in having
1t considered during the week.

THE M'KINLEY BILL.
Interviews With Many Congress
men Upon 1t.

men upon IL.
PHILADELPHIA. April 27.-The Press
tomorrow will publish the following:
1.-THE Philadelphia Press presents this
morning the most complete and careful
poll of the majority IN congress ever
made by newspaper. The purpose
was to ascertain the views of individual
members as to the necessity OF pass
ing a tariff revision and reduction
bill as speedily as possible. Interviews
were had with 209 senators and repre-
sentatives. The Press interviewers have
found what opposition exists to the Nc.
Kinley bill on the Republican side OF
the house, and by extending the inter-
views to leading Democrats, have found
the particular line of attack upon
the bill likely to be adopted by the
opposition. The fact of supreme i'm
pOrtance is that bill revising
the tariff and reducing the revenue will
be enacted before congress adjOurnS for
the summer. The Press has interviewed
159 Republican members, and with two
exceptions they all agree that Repub-
lican tariff bill will be passed, and that,
while differences exist as to the make
up of schedules, the entire party is In
accord on the general principle
and purpose of the Mckinley
bill. While the interviews show
strong sentiment on the
part of Republicans in favor of the bill;
even If some features Of it are not
wholly in accord with the individual
opinion of the member called upon to
express his views, there is singular
dearth OF strong criticism on the part OF
the Democrats. In a general way the
Democrats protest against the bill with
out going into particulars: They
admit the probability of its pass
ing, but they are evidently dis
pleased with measure which offers
the masses of the people free sugar on
the one hand, and the farmers of the
country additional protection on the
other hand. The result, summarized, is
as follows: Total number of inter
views, 2O9. Total number of Republic
ans interviewed, 159. Number OF Re-
publicans who believe bill revising the
tariff and reducing the revenue
must be passed before this con-
gress adjourns, 90. Mum ber now
ready to vo,e for the Mckinley bill as
it stands, 141. No who believe the Nc
Kinley bill is sure to be made salts

MAY.DAY DEMONSTRATION.
1t Excites Apprehension in Eu-
rOpean Capitals.

LONDON. April Numerous meet
ings were held to-day by the labor or
ganizations, at which the great event in
the labor world-the advent of the mo-
mentous 1st of May, 1S9O-was dis
cussed and plans finally settled for next
Sundays demonstrations. The men in
all the trades claim to be confident of the
success of the movement for shorter
hours, and they are certainly enthusiastic
enough to indicate that their confidence
is not assumed. The chief feature of
next Sundays programme will be a
number of imposing professions of
members of the various trades, and SUBJ
seouent monster mass meetings. The
police profess not to be at all afraid of
any disturbance, but they are very prop
erly taking every pr1cautiOn that eX-
perience OF foresight can suggest
to guard against any accident or
untOward incident which might pro-
woke trouble. The general disposition
on the part of the authorities is to give
free rein to the people in the matter of
lawful assemblage and passage through
the streets, and not interfere unless it
becomes absolutely necessary to do SO.
1t is to be regretted that according to
advices from other capitals, the authori-
ties of the continental countries seem
to take a different view of their
duties, and are inclined to place
restrictions upon the people which may
prove so irritating as to cause dis
order where otherwise everything
would pass off peacefully. There is no
denying that the general feeling
throughout Europe is one of uneasiness
and apprehension, and everybody
wishes the 1st of May was passed.
VIENNA, April 27.-The gas men have
Withdrawn their demand for a so per
cent advance in wages, and intend to
present revised and more reasonable
demands fortnight hence. The bakers
have abandoned their intention to
advance the price of bread. The
committees of the various trades
earnestly appeal to the men to preserve
order on May day. The workmen in
Buda Pesth will carry white flags in
their prarde. The insurance companies
decline to be responsible for any losses
that may be incurred through rioting.
In consequence of this decision all the
shops here will be closed on May 1, and
some of them will be barricaded.

CONGRESSIONAL FORECAST.
The Silver Bill Is to Come Up This
Week.

WASHINGTON. April 27.-The senate
tomorrow will resume consideration OF
the land grant forfeiture bill. with the
expectation of coming to vote upon it
before adjournment. 1t is the intention
of its friends to have it disposed of by
Tuesday night in any event. After
that will come up the customs admins
trative bill, and this will probably fill
out the remainder of the week. There
is considerable opposition OH the Demo-
ocratic side to the measure as reported
by the committee on finance,
and it is announced that Sena-
tor Evarts has an amendment to
propose, so that the chances seem good
for a debate of three OR four days. The
silver bill is the next measure of gen
eral interest on the order of business,
and it will be taken up this week if any
time remains. Although the Republican
caucus of the senate have not yet agreed
upon all the details of silver bill, it is
believed that measure which they will
all support will be prepared for the con-
sideration of the senate by the time that
body is ready to entertain it. Ii for any
reason the silver bill should not be
ready when the administrative customs
bill has been disposed OFF, the bills for
