New-York tribune., 1891-09-27

The appointment of Baron Henry de Worms to
the post Of Under Secretary OF State for Foreign
Affairs affords a striking illustration Of the re-
markable modification Of public opinion in Great
Britain during the last fifty years with regard
TO the Jews Baron de Worms is Hebrew by
race and faith, and is, moreover, bound by ties
of blood relationship to the Rothschild family.
IL is only since 1853 that Jews have been able to
sit in Parliament, and not until several years
later the sundry other disabilities removed
TO which they had until that time been subjected.
To-day there numerous Jews in the House OF
Commons, while a Rothschild sits in the House
Of Lords. Several Jews, moreover, have held
the Office of Lord Mayor of London, while others
have attained fame as judges Of the High Court of
Justice. There has been a Hebrew Premier in
the person of Lord Beaconsfield, and Lord Sails
bury has now associated another Jew with him
self in the direction of the foreign affairs of
Great Britain. At the present rate Of enlighten-
mcnt and progress it will not be long before the
Queen has a member of the Chosen Race as
Keeper of her Conscience" and Lord High

Assaults on Forsyth.

No attache OF the Chicago Fair has
passed through such on alarming as
sault upon his character and upon his
effort for place as William Forsyth,
from California, named for chief of the
department of horticulture. A mani
fest argument for Col. Forsyth's ap-
pointment was his big fruit farm on the
Pacific slope; but the fruit farm also
was made the basis of the case against
him. Those who desired some other
chief of the department of horticulture
averred in regard to Forsyth that he
had acquired his great fruit farn, not
by the normal toll of the honest farmer
tom OF bargain and sale. but by the for
tuitous collusion in game of poker be-
tween four aces which had settled in his
hand, against full on the other side of
the table. Col. Forsyth last Tuesday
met his accusers in the presence of the
committe on agriculture. and then and
there, as we learn from the Chicago
Tribune. showed that he not only
bought this farm legitimately, but
likewise from other parties than those
specified as having figured in the al
legged game of poker.
We congratulate Chicago upon hav-
ing escaped the humiliation of chief
of the department of horticulture who
had gained his appointment for win
ming fruit farm on four acres. And
we congratulate Col. Forsyth upon a
successful defence against his accusers
which, while it frees him from their
charge, has introduced no testimony
calculated TO impair his reputation as
an artist in the national game. That
Col Forsyth did not win his fruit farm
by playing poker is no evidence that he
could not have so won it had the cir
arisen to make that pos
sible.-N. Y. Sun.

Lord Salisbury's Proposition Creates .
Commotion.
A recent dispatch from London says:
Nothing has of late excited the inner
conservative circle so much as the
Marquis of Salisbury's declaration that
female suffrage ought to form a part
of the coming electoral reforms. The
conservatives are demanding to know
if this is an essential part of the gov
erument plan. and host of members
have warned the government that fe-
male vote plank would not be accepted
by an influential section of the party
without protest.
The premier has long been known to
be inclined to cOncede the right of suf-
frage to women as a probable counter
poise to the democratic tendency of the
principle OF manhood suffrage, but for
the first time he has tried to commit the
party to this momentous change OF
franchise.
The council of the conservative asso-
citation at an informal meeting recently
without passing resolution to that eff
feet decided to intimate to Lord Sails
bury that the party was so divided on
the question that it would be unwise to
recognize it as conservative measure.

either store or handle grain as they
NAV wish, we have provided ourselves
with abundant facilities for storage
transferring and buying.
At our COUNTRY HOUSES we will be
prepared at all times to buy cash grain
by the wagon-load. At our ELEVATORS
we will receive grain for storage, either
By the wagon or car load, issuing re-
ceipts for each lot at reasonable rate,
which makes the holding OF grain pos
sible. to the farmer at much less ex-
peIse than he can store it on the farm,
and INSUREo to him the WEIGHT
and GRADE.
Our principal Elevators are under
STATE SUPERVISION and the State
officials have full charge of the WEIGH
ING and INSPECTION
By placing grain In store and obtain
ing a receipt, it enables the owner to
dispose of it at any time by simply de-
livering the receipt to the .party to
whom he makes the sale, and thereby
enables him to TAKE ADVANTAGE
OF ANY SUDDEN CHANGE IN
THE MARKETS at any time he may
choose.
We guarantee to the holder Of re-
ceipt that he shall be delivered the
QUANTITY and QUALITY called for,
which relieves him OF all risk of loss on
weights or grades while in store.

if desired. and can always obtain for our
customers the lowest rates.
We are also prepared at all times to
buy storage grain: and in case holders
should wish cash advances on their re-
ceipts. We can undoubtedly arrange

from such a system will be seen readily
by all, and should further information
be desired we will be pleased to furnish
it. Very truly.

Henry FL. Ragan in his travels il
alert to all opportunities to catch strik
ing photographs for use in his lectures
Last summer, in Yellowstone park, he
undertook the risky business OF photo
graphing wild bear.
He learned from the hotel clerk that
the bear had made its appearance for
several evenings at o'clock. It rosmed
freely for no hunting is allowed in yell
lowstone park. Mr.. Ragan accom-
panied by the clerk, went with his
camera TO the place frequented by the
bear, dropped piece OF meat and ad-
justed his camera with focus on the
meat about fcrty-five feet away.
Upon the sudden disappearance OF the
clerk Mr.. Ragan for the first time re-
flected that, though camera is an ef-
fective weapon in some respects, it is
not first class means of self-defense in
an encounter with bear at short range
Besides his camera he had a pocket
knife. However he overcame a feeling
of growing discomfort and waited. The
clerk soon reappeared with another
man, and they were stationed behind
some bushes near by.
The bear was not long in making its
entrance. As he saw Mr.. Ragan he
broke from walk into a trot toward
him. Mr.. Ragan, trne to the pleasure
of future audiences, stood firm. When
about sixty feet away the bear arose on
his hind legs to make study OF Mr..
Ragan aud his queer apparatus. The
lecturer quickly read iusted the camera
and caught Bruin in this reflective at
titude. The bear then discovered the
meat,and Immediately became more in
terested in it, as evidenced by trotting in
that direction.
The cameras focus was again changed
ard the bear was again pictorialIy cap
tured as he rose on his hind legs. the
meat dangling from his mouth, and gave
a defiant look at the photographer. The
bear and the lecturer then parted, both
satisfed.-Indianapolis News.

Tho Las YaRaa Grant.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 5.-Secretary Noble
to-day decided the long-contested case of
the Las Vegas grant in New Mexico.
The secretary, after careful considera-
ton of the whole matter, decided that the
grant was not an absolute grant to the
parties originally named therein, but was
for the benefit Of only those to whom
lands were allotted hereunder; that the
grant was confirmed by congress to the
town of Las Vegas, and that no question
would be considered as to the capacity of
the town to take under the confrmatory
act; that only such land passed under the
grant as having been allotted was in the
possession of occupants at the time that
the United States acquired Mexico, and
that survey shall be made OF such tracts
and patent therefor issued to the town
of Las Vegas for the benefit of those who
may be entitled to them. This decision,
it is thought, will open to settlement fro m
$780, 1000 to $4,000 acres.
