Why New-EngIand is Poor.

New England robbed herself to civ
ilize the West. She has loaned TIC
the stranger what she has refused
her own. Now when ready money is
needed to sustain her domestic in
dustries it is not to be had. The
ranchman points to his barren pas
lures and deserted farm and invites
his creditors to go and take them.
But though the soil is there, it is
worthless when nature and man
alike forsake it. The conclusion to
be drawn is obvious. Invest your
money at home and build up your
own section. Indications point tow
ard general depreciation of West
ern land values, and a corresponding
loss to Eastern investors. The les
son which it will teach will be to
some costly one, but New England
will ultimately be the gamer by it,

and his retirement from the United

the same time, his defeat will not be

recently sacrificed long-cherished prin-

The death of VIM. Window, which
occurred at New York last Thursday
evening just as he had finished a
strong speech against free silver, is a
national loss. AS Secretary of the
Treasury he administered it's affairs
wisely and udiciously, winning praises
from the best men of all parties. An
exchange very truthfully says of him !:
" From the first his ability was recog-
nized, and at every point of his dis

Mr.. Plumb was an impecunious
printer. He gathered money enough
together, however, to start little
weekly newspaper in the town and
was doing fairly well with it and
had almost paid up his debts. There
ran a rumor through the new town
one day that a strange tramp
had been suddenly smitten with
smallpox and the epidemic was in
danger of spreading. The rumor
meant ruin to the embryo municipal
ity, and so the friRndless and stricken
man was hurried out on the prairies,
far from the city, and left there in
a log cabin to do the best he could
for himself. There was no one to
care for him, and, of course, it was
a wrestle with death. In a dingy,

the story. He closed the place,
started out to the Lighthouse where

INDIVIDUALITY IN THUMBS. - The
Chinese are credited with many
things, including the use for a long
time of thumb impressions as proofs
of identity. This, however, Mr..
Francis Gallon, the eminent British
anthropolOgist, pronounces an eyre
gious error, inasmuch as the Chi
nese have employed thumb impress
ions only as a kind of oath or sigma
ture. Such impressions, showing the
curves in the ridges of the bulbs
of the thumbs or forefingers. are now
known to be an unfailing mark of
identity, since they do not vary from
youth to age, and are different i'll
different persons. Mr.. Cation has
the impressions of the carefully linked
thumbs OF over 1000 persons, and in
them he traces typical forms, of
which the individual forms are simply
varieties.

st. Paul laid down a very good

Indian question when he commanded
that if any would not work, neither
should he eat" 1t is perhaps the
fault of our treaties with the
Indian tribes, made in the purchase
OF their lands, that we have made
them paupers and beggars, depend
ent upon the government for their
daily bread, and it may be difficult
to find a way out of wrong situa-
ton, but "a bad bargin is better
broken than kept" and it is possible
to do Justice to the Indian without
keeping him in a perpetual condition
of laziness. Enough has already
been accomplished to show that the
Indians can be made sel-supportine,
without Withholding from them what
the government owes them by treaty.

which 16,88S,2O5 were white, 6,996,166
