The New Organization.

The temperance ladies in session at
Cleveland have made another change
in the name of their new organization
First they adopted as their name the
American Woman's Christian Tenn
perance League" This was alter
wards abandoned in favor OF the " Ma
tional Comrades" But the question
came up again yesterday, and it was
decided that COR the present it would
he best to keep the name that the
country has always learned to attach
to them-that OF the Non-partisan
Womcns' Christian Temperance
Union" Any OF the names suggested
are good enough per Sc; but the one
finally adopted will be more practical
ly serviceable because it epitemizes
the whole history OF the organization.
The ladies who have formed the new
organization have been among the
time honored and best known leaders
of the w. c. 7. U. work, and they con-
tinue to do that work just as they have
always done it. The fact is that the
new organization is simply split-off
from the old one; and the adjective
non-partisan" shows the occasion of
the split and emphasizes the distinc-
tive tenet OF this branch. The name
as adopted will save world of ex-
planation and will facilitate the work
ol local recruiting officers.

Poor Lands,

1t Is common occurrence to find
that incomers count much land worth
less which is not so. In a climate like
that of Washington, the clover flour
ishes luxuriantly, and where it grows
an easy method OF recuperating the
fertility of the soil can be adopted
when necessary. The wide range of
crops that can be raised in this eli
mate renders it very difficult matter
to find land which will not respond
literally where suitable crop is to be
raised from it. Some of the so-called
poor lands are very we'll adapted to
raising some varieties of fruits.
Strawberries flourish under the fayora-
BILE conditions found here on lands on
which a crop OF some other kind, say
corn, or wheat, or oats, could not be
successfully grown. The prune has
capacity of production which is amaz-
ing ON gravelly lands, if accorded the
treatment it deserves. Other varie-
ties of fruit also can be successfully
cultivated on those lands partially
composed OF gravel. No better land
can be found for chicken raising, and
we doubt not that by judicious
course, land of this kind could be made
very fertile and be very profitable
whilst undergoing the renovating pro-
cess. To raise chickens on land will
OF necessity fertilize it, especially if
clover and grass be sown and plowed
under when a good growth has been
attained. We have in these remarks.
referred simply to the acknowledged
poor land of the territory.

VOLUME XXXI.--NUMBER II.
DOWN WENT McGINTY.

Sunday morning just al nine.
Dan McGinty dress'd 80 fine,
stood looking up at Very high stone WALL
When his friend young Pat Mccain,
Says. III bet five dollars Dan.
l could carry you To the top without a fall,
SO on his shoulder he took me
To climb the ladder he began,
And he soon commenced d To reach up near the top;
When Mctsintv cute old rogue,
To win the five he did let 90.
Never thinking juet how far he d have 10 drop.
CHORUS.
Down went McGinty To the bottom of the wall.
And tho he won the five, he was more dead than
alive
Sure his ribs and nose, and back were broke from
getting such fail,
Dress d in his best suit of cothcs
From the hospital Mac went home
When they fX d his broken bones,
To find he was the father of u child;
50 10 celebrate it right.
His friends he went Ia invite,
And he soon was drinking whisky fast and wild;
Then he waddled down the street
In his Sunday suit neat.
Holding up his head as proud as John the Great,
But in the side walk WAS a hole,
To receive a ton of coal
Thai McGinty never saw till just too late.
CHonUs.
Down went Mc':inty To the bottom of the hole.
Then the driver Of the cart give the load of coal
start,
And it took US half an hour 20 dig McGnty from
the coal.
Dressed in his best suit of clothes
Now McGinty ravcd and swore.
About his clothes he felt So sore.
And an oath he took he'd kill the man or die;
So he tightly grabb'd his stick
And ht the driver a lick,
Then he raised q little shanty on his eye.
But two policemen saw the muss
And they soon joind in the fuss.
Then they ran Mctiiniy in for being drunk;
And The Judge with "A smile
We will keep you for while
In cell 10 sleep upon prison bunk.
CnORUs.
Down went McGiHty to the bottom of the jail
Where his board would cost him nix, aud he
stay'd exactly six:
They were big long months he stopp'd fer no one
went his bail
Dress d in his best suit of clothes
Now McGinty thin and pale
One fine day got out Of Jail.
And with joy 10 see his boy nearly wild;
To his house he quickly ran
To meet his wife Bedaley Ann,
But she'd skipp'd away and took along the child
Then be gave up in despair,
And he madly pulled his hair.
As he stood one day upon the river Shore
Knowing well he couldn't swim.
He did foolshly jump in,
Although water he had never took before.
CHORUS.
Down went McGinty to the bottom OF the say.
And he muet be very wet for they haven't found
him yet,
But they say his ghost comes round the docks be
fore the break of day,
Dressd in his best suit of clothes.

NELLIE Bly, is reported as having
had narrow escape during her rapid
transit across the continent. Near
Go!uk, New Mexico, the track repair
ers were replacing the stringer on a
bridge over a deep canyon. The rails
were in place, but only held up by
jack The workmen heard the
special coming and tried to flag it, but
they were to late. The engine and
car went laundering toward the ra-
vine and passed over safely. The es-
cape was miraculous one, and Sec
ton men who witnessed the train
flash past on this frail structure re-
garded the escape as one of the most
marvellous i'll railway history. OF
course it would not do to have her
journey around the world close with
out an exciting episode, that would
equal anything originated by Jules
Verne.

Worms That Eat Steel Rails.

For the past two years the German
Government has been making inquiries
into the life, history and ravages OF
one of the most remarkable worms
known to exist. This wonderful crea-
ture, whose gluttonous appetite is only
satisfied after feed on common steel,
was first brought into general notice
by an article in the Cologne Gazette in
June, 1887.
For some time preceding the pub
licatiOn of the account mentioned, the
greatest CONSERVATION existed among
the engineers employed on the railway
at Hagen, by accidents, which always
occurred at the same place. proving
that some terrible defect must exist
either in the material or the construc-
ton of the rails.
The Government became interested
and sent a commission to the place for
the purpose of maintaining a constant
watch at the spot where the accidents
one OF them attended with loss of
life-had occurred. 1t was not, how
ever, until after months had elapsed
that the surface of the rails appeared
to be corroded, as if by acid, to the ex.
font of ovor 1OO ,.orJ
The rail was taken up and broken
whereupon it was found to be literally
honeycombed by thin, thread-like
gray worm. The worm is said to be
two centimeters in length and about
the bigness of common knitting
needle. 1t is of light gray color, and
on the head it carries two little sacs
or glands, filled with a powerful cor
rosive secretion which is elected every
ten minutes when the little demon i.
lying undisturbed. This liquid when
squirted upon iron renders that metal
soft and spongy, and of the color Of
rust, when it is easily and speedily de
voured by the little insect. "There i:
no exagseration," says the official re-
port, d" i'll the assertion that this crea
ture is one Of the most voracious, fol
it has devoured thirty-six kilograms ol
rails in a fortnight" t."-Railroad Gazette

THE Seattle Journal charges edito-
rally that there are lobbyists in Olym-
pia plentifully supplied with Doodle,
and while it is in doubt rs to whether
money has been used, remarks that it
is significant that thus far no anti
corporation legislation has passed the
House, while at least one notorious
"Job" bill, the San Francisco printing
bill, has been successful. The edito-
rial concludes: "The Journal will
welcome nothing better at the hands
OF this Legislature than exclusion of
its correspondent from the House.
Let 1T attempt it, if it dare. Other
ways will be found for giving the peo-
pie an uncolor account of the pro-
ceedings, queer, crooked or otherwise"

able amount of American silver in cir

The profit in the scheme consists in is

A Republican Scheme.

A late special to the New York
Times says that John Morgan and b.
N. Roberts, representatives of the Nor
mons west OF the Mississippi are in
that city on d most extraordinary mis-
sion, and the reason they give for their
presence are unusual and sensational
in the highest degree. They have
come here to prove gigantic conspir-
acy on the part of the representatives
of the Territories of Idaho, Arizona
and Utah, by which 200 people are to
be disiranchised, three new States crea-
ted and the Presidency secured to the
Republican party in 1892, no matter
how the vote may 60. Mr.. Roberts
was until recently associate editor of
the Herald, Democratic paper, pub
lished in Salt Lake. Mr.. Morgan said
tonight that in Utah Territorial gov
ernment will soon be thing of the
past, and that Stewards bill, recently
introduced into Congress, proposes
the wholesale Acknowledgement of the
Mormon people, thus leaving the polit-
ical control of these three Territories
in the hands of the wire-pullers of the
Republican party. The Idaho State
Constitution declares in effect that no
Mormon shall vote or hold Office,
while the Republican Governor OF
Arizona renews the suggestion that
Congress defrancllise the MOrmOns of
that Territory. The political status of
that Territory is in an undeveloped
condition, owing to their not partici-
pating in the National election, but it
is understood that the Territories
would unite with Montana in electing
Democratic State Governments when
they are admitted; at least it is evident
that they would not unite with the
Republican party, or that party would
not take the ballot from them. The
programme is to admit Idaho with
constitution that leaves it hOpelessly
in the hands of the Republican party
to defranchise the MormOns of Utah.
