may get an education at home; that the
railroads should be controlled, or that new
courts should be provided when the needs
of the country demand it. The growth of
the state will from time to time demand in
creased expenditures.
How will the appropriation be paid2
Prior to March l. 1891, all deficiencies
for previous years had been paid except
such as were provided for in the general
appropriation bill. Hence on March l, 1891,
there is no demand on the treasury for any
thing behind the appropriation bill going
into effect March l, and the treasury starts
on that date with clean balance sheet.
From that point let US see what our re-

The state treasurer reports on hand
March l, 1891, a net balance of revenue of
$1,117,074.

1892, 2, 100000.
We have total receipts for the next two
years, including balance on hand March 1,

of taxes. Deduct for reduced taxes $780,

hold on Gibraltar, Malta and Cyprus oives
her control of the Mediterranean which no
maritime power can wrest from her. let
alone Russin, whose fleet from an English
standpoint is insignificant and almost con
temptible. Granted that Russia could land

. A SIBERIAN EXILE.

Escape After Twenty-Eight Years of Life
in the Snowy Wilderness.
The narrowing descriptions of the sad
state Of the prisoners at Siberia, given by
Mr.. KEENAN,, are amply confirmed by a
Russian named Jacob Koton, who has es-
capped from Siberia and is now in Breslau.
The substance of his story is as follows: He
was the son of q well-to-do miner in Rus
sian Poland. In the year 1868, Koton, then
10 years of age, took part in the Polish in
surrection, and in a skirmish near his ma
tive place he received a severe gunskot
wound in the left foot and was taken pris-
oner by tho Russians. He was thereupon
transported to Wilma and condemned by
Gen. Muravietf to exile for life in Siberia.
At Tomsk he joined a gang of exiles and
marched on foot for nearly eight months
through the endless steppes via Krasnoy-
arsk, Irkutsk and Jakutsk to Tarbogotai, a
small settlement. culuss, as it is called in
Russian.
Here the exile remained and was obliged
to get his living by hunting. But he soon
became hcmeslck in this fearful wilderness,
the climate of which was killing HIM: and
defying all dangers, he made All attempt to
escape, but was seized at Tomsk and SEN
fenced to three months arrest in a fortress.
A second attempt brought him to Moscow,
a third to Grodno. Six months and finally
a years imprisonment i'll q fortress were
his punishments, and each time he was
transported back to ~Tarbogotai. Koton
now-at least for a time-gave up all
further attempts at escape. and worked
hard to save a sum of money in order to
try his luck again. In the spring of the
year 1883 the exile had saved about 1000
rubles, the fruit of his twenty-five years
work as a hunter, and now again he thought
of escaping.
On a dark night he left Tarbogotai, went
from one culuss to the other, far from high
roads. After a c dangerous and fearful Journey
of several months, which cost him nearly
tho whole of his fortune, and after CROSS
ing the Ural, and gaining Ekaterinenburg
and st. Petersburg, he at last reached
Stockholm via HeIsingfors. But finding no
assistance anywhere, he went to Copen-
hagen, Lubbock, Hamburg, Berlin, and from
there to Paris. Here his money ran short,
and the French government sent him
across the belgian frontier to Holland, He
could not remain there either, but wa, eg-
corted to tho German frontier, afte rmarches
of many long weeks. Then travelling
via Cologne, Munich and Vienna, he at last
reached Breslau.--Berlin letter, New York

The proposition for military occu-
pancy Of Hawaii was the last straw
that broke the cancels back. The cabi-

but favored the other provisions of the

TRIUMPH.

So far as the outsider can Judge from
telegraphic reports, the members OF
the labor congress, that sat in the
English town Of Newcastle, were en-
gagged in work that promises to be not
only useful but extremely credltable to
their sound sense and practical nature,
Tie delegates entered upon their
duties with a keen sense Of tie RESPONSE
bilitv that attaches to their position.
With a calmness and deliberate faculty
worthy of the highest praise, the assem-
blv has discussed the important ques-
tions that affect the status, not only OF
the men themselves, but Of their wives
and children. There has been a con-
spicuous absence of the wildly sociallstic
theories and bullheadedness, that have
converted SO many continental labor
congresses into disgraceful bear gardens,
and that have alienated from the noble
cause OF honest toll the sympathy and
assistance Of moderate men and women.
The course that the latest English con-
gress has in it's wisdom seen tit to pur-
sue, cannot fail to reap its reward. 1t
is true that labor representation in the
parliament of Great Britain is still a
comparatively unimportant factor in
national politics, SO far as numbers
alone are concerned. But the labor
representatives are made of aggressive
material. More han that, they are as
brainy men, some of them, as the house
Of commons can show. The good sense
Of the Newcastle congress will add to
their ranks. OF the thousands of work
ingmen, who know no other political
distinctions save those of liberal and
conservative, there are many, no doubt,
who are influenced purely by traditional
motives. Their fathers were liberals,
therefore they are liberals themselves.
Such men are hard to move. Nothing
less than a moral earthquake will shake
political barnacles of that kind loose
from the rock they have been born on.
But there are many more thousands OF
w%orkingmen, whose sympathies are fully
in accord with the desires of a sensible
labor party and who have been deferred
from a decided change Of front, simply
because, as moderate men, they could
not join a party that might at some time
OF other commit itself to the most ex-
treme views. Such men can think for
themselves. Their political opinions
are based, not on tradition, but on good,
sound common sense. No party can
possess more desirable supporters and
advocates. Men of this stamp the New
castle congress will infallibly attract in
large numbers into the labor fold.
Aided by their support, it is not I'M
reasonable to expect that at no very
distant date the reforms agitated by the
delegates at Newcastle will be enrolled
as laws of the empire on the statute
book of England.

ENGLAN IN THE ORIENT,

The complications between Great
Britain and China over the recent riots
in the Flowery Kingdom, which seem
destined at no distant day to threaten
open hostilities, may give England the
opportunity she has long sought Of gain
ing a foothold in the Pacific. Great
Britaln's growing commerce in the ORR
ent has made it apparent to all observ-
ers of the situation that the day is not
distant when she will seek to strengthen
her position in that part OF tho world.
1t will be just as we'll for the United
States at this time to keep her eye on
''the cross roads Of the Pacific" or Ha-
wall, as it is known on the maps. In
addition to the advantage England
would have in a war with China by Sc
curing Honolulu as a naval station and
base OF operations, the pcssessession OF
that port, midway between British Co
lumbia and Australia, would greatly
strengthen her hold on both those colo
MES. The defeat of Secretary Blaine's
attempt, two years ago, to extend our
treaty alliance with Hawaii was due
solely to British influence exerted
through Canada. This event did not
attract tho attention in the United
States that it's Importance merited. Tt
was really ii serious check from Great
Britain TO American control Of this i'm
portant strategic point, and ever since
that time American political influence
in Hawaii has been on the wane.
1t will be remembered that in Presi-

NOBoDT knows whether the sources of

after all. Two of the members of the
recent Glazier expedition have declined
to sign a statement that Elk lake is the
source Of the river, and the party is d.
vlded into two factions, one of which
claims that Nicollet river and it's feeders
are the true source, while the other
sticks to the lake. The source of the
Mississippi is not 80 important as the fact
that 1T is wearing honors that do not be-

We have an influx of coolies from this

need a clear Interpretation from our SUI
preme court. Judge Wheeler, of the
United States court, sitting at Brattle-
boro, VT, held the other day that China
mon with permits from the Dominion
government to return to Canada must
be sent to that country andn not to China.
This was a reversal of an order of United
States Commissioner johnson, ordering
their return to China. Judge. Maxey.
of the United States district court for the
western district of Texas, sent two Chi
nese laborers, brought into the country
from Mexico, back to that country in
stead Of to China. This view Of the law
was taken by Judge Hanford of Seattle,
whe sent a Chinaman back to British
Columbia, whence he came, instead of
to his native land. The law is confusion
worse COMPOUNDED and after its interpre-
tation by the highest court it should be
amended so as to accomplish the pur~
pose for which it was framed.
