That Farm-Morgage Argument.

The scare invented by the free trades shouters concerning farm mortgages tor the purpose of frightening the farmers into support of their theories IS being
 shown by the census 10 be without basis other than that found m free trade imag- ina,ition and guesswork. The known falsity Of the assertion they n ade was
 hown by the tact that n, sooner had congress decided upon securing accn-
 rate information on this subject by means of tue census thae they began to advise the farmers not 10 submit to any inquisitorial questioning on the par, Of the government agents. The eurios ity of the farmers, however. had been aroused, and they gave the information desired willingly. with a result that must be regarded as eminently satisfactory. IL is shown that in the majority of cases mortgages have been given from motives that evince prosperity and show faith in future prosperity of the country. The
 money raised on mortgages is used in
 investments on futures and not to settle
 losses of the past. And this holds as true of farm mortgages as ot those gwen on city and village property. The figures which are given concerning Sarpy county, Nebraska, area fait speci- men of those for other counties. SarpY county has I4I. .ooo acres ofiarming land
 valued at ss.S4I.sso. Of this 4o.o9s
 are mortgaged for $46s.6Is. The causes of the indebtedness ar. as fol.
 lows; For purchase money, sS per cent; to invest in mercantile business, | 7o per cent; 10 invest in other real estate, per cent; for permanent improvement
 and stock, , per cent; to pay personal indebtedness, three-fourths of one per
 cent; unknown, 7x per cent. Here we
 have the striking tact that 9s per cent ' of the mortgages in force in Sarpy
 county were gwen for purposes tha, in-
 dicste prosperous growth and develop
 ment, and only three-four,hs of one per cent as the result of losses and mis-
 fortune. Fifty years ago there was DO,
 q mortgage or any other sign of civiliza-
 ton on the land of Sarpy county. The
 county vas waste, included in what
 was then known on the maas as the
 "Great American Desert" The value
 Of its farms alsne today IS nearly 1 $6,ooo.e .eoo and they are incumbered for
 less than $500, oso. Here is . clear gain of s. 5000. .ooe m farm property.
 not in fifty years, but practically in hsli that time; and very mach of 1t ,s due to the ability Of settlers to borrow money on mortgages to purchase and improve
 the lands. We have probably hea'd the last of the free trade farm mortgage ar - gumeut. The facis are all against t. The farmers of the country ase not ools.-Beston Traveller.

LEGISLATIVE LOG ROLLING.

The Republican of January 7th gives the following as the legislative situations
 Fred G. Hughes of Pima county IS professed candidate for president of the ,ounci,, and will receive the support of al leas, two ether councilmen m his party C. Meyer Zuliek is also an avowed candidate tor the position, claim ing to only want the election for the pur- pose of a "yindication," when he will retire in favor of some one else. It was asserted around the lobbies last night that Zuiick, in case of bis election, would only give way to Peter K. Brady. and in case he could not secure Brady as his successor. would moi retire al all. The ex-governor must be vindicated at any cost, and such old and tried demo- crats as Hughes. Herndon and Baldwin must stand aside for the New Jersey inn portation.
 h tbe house there are several eandi- dates for speaker, The Cochise dele gation are pushing their colleague, C. $ Clark, for the position. Yavapai has a candidate in the person of J. ]. Fisher Mir. Fisher has had previous legislative experience, and his friends claim thai this particularly qualities him 10, the speakers chair. Maricopa is not in ,h, habit of hiding her light ander bushel aud she, too, has candidate for th. speakership in the person of Thomas k Parish. Mir. Parish IS especially pushed by the Zullck element.
 In the matter of elerkships and othei
 positions, several candidates are alread, in the field. W. C. Foster of Yavapa
 would like to be chief clerk of the coan-
 cil, while C. NJ. Strauss of Pima anC
 Mike Rice of Pinal want the same posi- ton in the house. ]. II. Newellof Gra-
 ham aspires to the position of engross-
 ing clerk of the house and nameruu. candidates are promised from other coun nes for all the positions. George w
 Chapman, who was elected sefgeant-at- arms by the republicans two years ago seeks the same position now.

Dr. Newman prescied memorial sermon. which he particularly addressed to delegation, one hundred strong, from the U. s. Grant Post c. 4. R. of Brooklyn. He spoke from his knovl edge oi General Grants character and life, and portions of his address were thrllinglY interesting. There were many fearful eyes as he told the story oi Grants conversion and baptism.
 'One evening" said Dr. Newman, entering the room where General and Mrs. Grant were seated, said: 'General. three hundred Methodist preachers at Nes Jersey stood up to-day and prayed for you
 "Yes, said the General. and have heard that number of men and women | in Boston have banded themselves to- gesher to pray fos me, and little children

OUR FAILING EYES.
Blindness on tho Increase c-Precautions
That Should 80 Used.

That Should I5c Used.
The latest statistics show that blind
ness is on tho increase in the United
States, says DR.. Grucning in the Epoch.
This increase in New York state is at
tributablc to the failure of carrying out
the law which requires 1nidwivcs to re-
port to the boards Of health all cases of
blcnnorrhoca in newborn children. In
fact, the law is 4 dead letter, which is
great pity, because in the aSylums
for the blind there arc moro people who
have become blind from having been
neglected when infants than from any
other cause. This purulcnt iHilamma-
ton of the infants eyes, which is so
often neglected by tho poor, is bad for
everybody in the house, owing to it's
decidedly infectious character.
Children should not be admitted to
schools if they have any contagious
disease of the eye, to detect which re-
quircs expert examination, for it can
not always be seen; for example, gram
ular lids contain Al infectious sccrc-
ton. Just as children in the public
schools arc required to show q ccrtifi-
cate of vaccination before they can
gain admission, so should children
likewise be rcQu ircdtO provo that the
condition of their eyes is not such as
to cndangcr the eyes of their little
comrades. ] have already examined
4 whole school, and some children have
been discharged on my rccommcnda-
ton and obliged to absent themselves
until cured
Most persons arc born far-sightcd;
some remain SO throughout life; the
sight of others becomes normal, and
still others become ncar-sightod
Americans as class Grc not so near
sighted rs peolc of older civilizations.
The Germans arc the most pc2r-SiGhtcd
people, probably because thcy study
the most and with the poorest LIGHT:
There arc at best very few normal
eyes; VIC arc all of us generally either
, ncar-sightcd or far-sightcd. Color
/ blindness is at times conGcnital, in
which case it IS iucurablc; but colcr-
! blindness may be Gcquircd later in life,
! ard then it yields to treatment. Sta
tistics show that about per cent. of
all men arc color-bli2d, brt only > per
+ cent. of I'll women. Too great care cam
not be exercised in the marine service
and in the railroad service not to cm-
ploy tho color-blind, for their inability
to distinguish green from red causes
them to confound the danger SIGNAL
with the safety SIGNAL, to the great
+ danger of t''c travelling public.

FROM THE FRONT.

Hostile Brules Promise to Surrender
The Gordon Tightening Around the
Hostiles-Red Cloud Says the Indians are
Armed as Well the Soldiers-A Big
and Bloody Job on Hand-Colonsl For
sythe Exonerated.
PINE RIDGE AGENCY, S. d., Jan. TO-
Captain Taylor, chief of scouts, yester-
day received letters from Short Bull and
Kicking Bear, chiefs of the hostile
Brules, stating that they would surren-
der at the agency to-day with all their
people. But these letters amount to
nothing in view of past events, for the
Indians change their minds about as
fast as they make them up. The desire
of the hostiles to come in is doubtless
prompted by the approach of the troops
from behind and from the wings. The
soldiers are slowly closing in on the
hostile village. Scouts report that the
troops are already so close to the hos
tiles that skirmishing continues at in
tervals during the day and night.
Red Cloud. who escaped from the hos
tiles on Wednesday, says there are four
thousand warriors in the hostile camp
and that they are as well-armed as the
soldiers. This shows the magnitude of
the Job which lies before the soldiers,
for it is tacitly admitted that whether
the hostiles surrender or not they will
be disarmed and dismounted. 1t cost
the Seventh Cavalry eighty-three Off
GERS and privates to disarm $50 of Big
Foots band, and it is admitted by every
body here that the hostiles who are on
White Clay creek will never give up
their rifles and ponies without fight.
The committee which has been in
vestigating Colonel Forsythe's manage
ment of the troops at Wounded Knee
has finished it's labors. 1t will make a
report to General Miles generating the
Colonel of any encouragement and of
any attempt to kill the women and
children.

TIE CAROLINE ISLANDS.

An English Officer Gives Not Aitogether
C-editabIe View of the Methods OF
american Missionaries in the caroline
Is,ands-WhfIe Looking After the Ma
tiyes' Spiritualities They Are NOT Ne
glecting Their Own Temperatures
LoNDoN. Jan. 10.-An Engllsh olncer
who has been visiting the caroline ISL
ands. and has Just returned home, gives
some interesting facts In regard 10 'no
recent conflicts between the natives
and the Spanish military forces IN thao
locality. He declares that the whole
trouble may be charged to the A meri-
can missionaries in the islands. who Tor
various reasons are hostile 10 Ihe
Spaniards. There is, he says, natural
jealousy between the Spanish Cathohcs
and the Protestant American mis-
sions, but this plays only SUP
ordinate part in the dl1-
ficulty. The Spanish missionaries
confine themselves to religious work,
and do not NEEDLE with the temporal
affairs of the people. There is crowd
of hangers-on, he says, around the
American missions whose sole OBJ
iect seems to be to prey upon the ma
tives How far the missionaries them
selves are responsible for the dolngs OF
these persons, he is not prepared to say,
but allegations are freely made in the
islands that some of the missionaries
paw more attention to their own ag-
| rrandizement than to the welfare OF
| the people among whom they are sup
posed to be la boring in the cause of re-
! ligion. Many of the missionaries have
! laid up goodly stocks of the treasures
which moth and rust may corrupt, and
| they have introduced business systems
in their dealings with the guileless
natives, under the operation OF
| which the lands of the people
are rapidly passing into the hands OF
the foreigners. This has aroused con-
siderable discomfort among the natives
on several portions of the islands and is
to a large degree responsible for the
outbreak. The natives do not stop to
discriminate too nicely between the
nationalities of the foreigners. and in
fact they have been cunningly led to be
lieve that the Spanish invaders are alone
to blame for the changed condition of
their affairs. Hence the attacks upon
| the Spaniards and other foreigners to-
gether.
The officer further alleges that the
American missionaries knew before
| hand that the massacre of July last
was to occur. They were cognizant of
it the day previous, but refrained from
notifying the proper authorities, with
whom they were on bad terms, and
whom they did not object to seeing
taken unawares. The missionaries took
good care. however, to protect them
selves by removals or barricades.

pied by any considerable population
from which woman is absolutely eX-

and has existed for centuries. AS far
back as history reaches to all females
it has been forbidden ground. This

plateau between the old peninsula of
Acte, in the Grecian archipelago and
the main land. Here, in the midst of
cultivated fields and extensive wood
lands dwell a monastic confederation
of Greek Christians, with twenty-thrce
converts and numbering more than
seven thousand souls. and not one of
the monasteries dates from a later tim :
