CALAMITY FAL SCHOOLS.
An Agricultural journal Shows Them Up

In Coon Shape.
Farm and Fireside.
The malicious lying done by political
demagogues, and calamity prophets about
mortgages has been exposed by the census
returns Instead of 100000 mortgages on
land, with the encumbrances amounting to
more than its value, as repeatedly asserted
by these enemies of the people. the returns
show that there are about 1850, 900 homes
and farms occupied by owners encountered
by mortgages. As there are about IL $780,,
900 families, less than one-fourth live in
encountered homes.
Two billion, FIVE hundred and sixtyfve
million dollars is the total amount Of the
mortgaged Indebtedness on homes and
farms, estimated to be about one. third the
value of the property encountered.
The census returns also show that about
two. thirds of the total mortgage indebted
ness represents the purchase money.
The lying still goes on however It is
extremely popular with class of people
are looking forward to time when they
can, under cover of finance laws, passed
with the intent in view, repudiate their
honest debts.

CRUEL DECEPTION.
Practical Joke Played on Young Lad,
Visiting Cape Cod.


Visiting Cape Cod.
The practical joke played on a young lady
who recently visited the cape will, no
doubt, IN time come to her ears, so it may
as well be told here, says the Cape Cod
Item. Her brother, who is full of mis-
chief, informed her privately after her ar
rival that the residents of the Cape pro-
nounced marsh mash, and that it would be-
an exhibition Of good taste on her part if
she used the Cape pronunciation while
here. The good-natIred girl adopted the
suggestion, and rather astonished young
man few days later by saying to him:
Il suppose as you live kere you are on
the mash a good deal2'
Thinking that she had reference 10 the
fact that the female is rather in excess of
the male population, he could only stam-
mer:
Well, er, no, | can't say that am,
"That is rather strange" said she; eff
[ were you / wonlu be. Indeed" she
continued, as she cast her eyes over the ex-
panse of green fiat spread out before her,
Il think you are fortunate to have such
chance"
Perspiring and blushing to the roots of
his hair, he blnrted out:
81 would like to go on it, certainly,
but The young ladies here are so very
modest and proper in their conduct that
chat, well, it wouldn't do, don't you
know

Germany is getting tired Of her posses
sions in New Guinea Five years ago she sp-
proprated a long coast line on the northeast
side Of the island, established four or five
posts. sent exploring parties among the noun
tains and up the big Empress Augusta River,
which they followed to tho centre OF the island.
and tried to ascertain whether New Guinea
could be made valuable as a colony. Science
has been served by all this work. Well equip
ped specialists have braved the fever-laden air
to produce three or four books and many val
uable reports which have thrown much light
upon the country and the many tribes that in
habit 1t.
The practical results OF these years Of work.
however, have been anything but encouraging.
No site for q station has been found where
white men con live in fair health and COM
fort II stations were founded among the
mountains inland the health OF the colonists
would be improved. but the Germans do
not yet see how In any event the country
can be turned to profitable account. 1t
is now reported from Berlin that they
are seriously thinking Of abandoning this
possession. It Is doubtful. however. that
they will relinauish the rights they have ac-
quired. Even II they see no immediate PROS
pect OF making money. 1t 10 far more likely that
they will still retain a station or two in New
Guinea than abandon tho country to Great

It Is little too carly to affirm with confidence
that no good will ever come out Of New Guinea

session in Pittsburgh. there was an interesting
conference on Wednesday between the wage
earners and their employers Representatives
of the employing body appeared before the
Convention and gave their views regard
ing certain demands that are now made
by the workers in their establishments.
They spoke temporarily and courteously
TO the Convention. which listened with
patience and politeness. The points In dis
pute were taken up. and reason appears to
have been predominant while they were under

A Cretiitablo Fact.

A bronze statue OF the late HENRY WARD
BEEcHER was unveiled in Brooklyn on
Wednesday In the presence OF several OF his
relatives and various public personages.
The Mayor Of Brooklyn presided, and the
statue was presented to the city by the Rev.
DIR. HALL. President Low OF Columbia
College delivered a eulogy. and Rabbi GoTT-
HE'LL OF New York pronounced benediction.
Besides DR.. HALL and Rabbi GoTTHE1L
the only clergymen who Joined in the cere-
mony were two ministers employed by Ply
mouth Church. Not single other clergy
man, either Of the Congregational COM
munion. to which BEEcHER was attached,
nor OF any other denomination. Protestant
or Catholic, was present.
Why was this2 II he was man worthy
OF the honor OF public statue. why were
not the great religious organizations OF the
country represented on such an occasion2
The striking absence OF any such rep
resentation was, in our judgment, far more
credltable to the absent than the existence
OF such statue and such celebration in
honor OF such n man could be to those re-
sponsible therefor.
The public conscience and the records Of
the courts cannot safely be defled.

lnfatuation.

The Baltimore Sun blithely disposes OF
what 1t calls the anti CLEVELAND revival
In the South by explaining that the move
ment is confined to politicians who do not
represent public sentiment.
Our Baltimore namesake refuses to &c
cept, for example. the statement OF Senator
BARBOUR that the people Of Virginia are op-
posed to the denomination Of Mr.. CLEvR.
LAND. Senator BARBOUR may not be lying
deliberately, We are told, but his information
iserroneous. In the same way. the opinions
OF the dozen or more leading Democrats Of
Virginia, who upon being interviewed re-
Gently by the Richmond Dispatch declared
that the nomination OF Mr.. CLEVELAND
would inevitably result In the Democracy's
defeat, are brushed aside by the Baltimore
Sun without difficulty. Interviews OF this
sort" it remarks. "amount to very little as
reflections OF popular convictions"
On the other hand. the news" recently
brought from the West by Mr.. WILSON of
West Virginia that the people are every
whero favorable to the denomination Of Mr..
CLEVELAND" fills the soul OF our esteemed
namesake with exalted Joy. Interviews OF
that sort amount In its estimation to very
much as reflections OF public convictions.
Nor does 1t reject as the misrepresentation
or misin 'ormation OF a politician the ab-
surd statement OF Governor FRANCIS Of Mis-
souri, that "the people OF his State are for
CLEVELAND" That. to tho Baltimore Sum-
is not politicians mIsstatement, or the ex-
preston OF an Individual view. 1t is iron
clad evidence.

Cured at Boulogne, whether Mr.. DILLON
will consent to take his place. 1t seems to
be generally believed that Mr.. WILLIAM

Mr.. PARNELL has now married Mrs. O'SHEA,
and has thus taken the only step In his
power toward Standardization and the
concilation OF public sentiment. A year
hence It will not be easy to make
much political capital out Of his rela-
tions to the lady who has become his wife.
II, indeed, Sir CHARLES D1LKE receive any
sort Of recognition from the Liberal
leaders: and 1t now seems improbable
that they can refuse to recognize
him, the comparatively venial offence of Mr..
PARNRLL could not make him a permanent
outcast from public life. But many Incl
dents and some speeches In the present ses-
sion Of Parliament have shown that Mr..
PARNELL has conceived an implacabe re-
sentiment against the Liberals, and. II he
returns to the next House at the head Of
a considerable following, he is likely to act
in critical divisions as an auxiliary Of the
Tory party.
At all events. nothing could be worse than
the present prospects Of the Tory party, and
Lord SALISBURY would be lacking in sagac-
ity II he did not defer trial Of strength as
long as possible in the hope that something
auspicious may turn up.
