 Plans worthy of the authorship of Jules Verne have been undergoing process of slow evolution in the brain of c. M. Lem cry, of East Oakland, for nearly four years.
 He has completed working drawings of queerly constructed land ship, with which he proposes to roam through the undiscovered gold regions and the unex- plored plains and depths of Africa, dis covering long lost deposits of riches, the source of Solomon's gilded glories, gath ering tons of precious ivory, revealing the unknown in books of travel and adven- ture, and generally winning wealth and fame if success shall reward his hopes.
 His land ship is big car of aluminium, strong and light, which is to climb noun tains, jolt over logs, travel through forests and over plains, and like 8 duck plunge from the banks of rivers and lakes right into the water and speed uninterrupted to opposite shores.

EXiled.

It comes to me often in silence, When the firelight sputters low When the black, uncertain shadows Seem wraiths of long ago; Always with @ throb of heartache That thrills each pulsive vein, Comes the old unquiet longing, For the peace of home again. I'm sick of the roar of cities,
 And of faces cold and strange; know where there's warmth of welcome. And my yearning fancies range Back to the dear old homestead, With an aching sense of pain, But there'n be joy in the coming, When go home again. When go home again! There's music That may never die away, And 1t seems the hands of angels, On mystic harp, at play. Have toughed with yearning sadness On beautiful, golden strain, To which is my fond heart wording When go home again. Outside of my darkening window Is the great worlds crash aud din, And slowly the autumn shadows Come drifting, drifting in, Sobbing, the night wind murmurs To the splash of the autumn rain: But dream of the glorious greeting When go home again.

EDITORIAL NOTES.

Mrs. Mary Ellen Lease, high priestess of the Farmers alliance in Kansas, declares that the enemies of the alliance have tried three times t2 kill her with poisoned lemonade. We don't believe that any of the enemies of the alliance would be so foolish. The worst thing they could do to the alliance is to encourage Mary.
 There is a ten year-old boy in an Arkan- sas town who will probably be heard from when he grows up. He has been detected stealing letters from a postoffice box by means of string and grasshopper.. The grasshopper was tied to the string and let down into the box through the aperture. When the insect got a letter in it's pinches he hauled it up and took the letter.
 The Jewish alliance of St. Louis Is about to establish an educational institute for the benefit of the Russian Jewish refugees who are settling in that city. In this institute the Jewish newcomers are first to be taught to speak and read the English language, and afterward they are to receive instruction regarding the laws of this country and the system of our gov ernment and the duties of American citi- zenship. A good idea.
 In talk about railroads MT. Depew gives this condensed information about the New York Central: 'It includes the New York Central, the West Shore, the Harlem, and the Rome, Watertown and Ogdensburg. The direct mileage is over 2,000 miles. It will earn about S39, 9,OOO,- 900 and pay out s26, ,OOO, 900 in wages, ma terial and maintenance. It has over 25, 5,00O employees, carries over 2O,OOO, 900 people annually and has millions of sepa- rate business transactions"
 And still they come. A plucky and in- dependent girl is Miss Elizabeth More, of Edgeworth, Pennsylvania. With her own hands she recently built neat little cot tage, laying the foundations, clustering the walls of the different rooms and perform ing all the carpenter work to builders taste: To do this she found it necessary to don male attire, and young girl friend helped her over the hardest part of the work. Miss More is said to be as pretty as she is energetic. She was once @ protege of Jane Gray Swissheim.
 A Mississippi farmer who is a member of the alliance has been thinking little | about the effect which the sub-treasury plan would have on the marketing of the cotton crop.

THE LOBBY.


The lobby begins its session when the
legislature does. Many of our legis-
Iators are poor and great interests are
intrusted to them. The men who tempt
and cajole them are on hand already,
and later on will be here in greater
numbers.
We warn the public and the legisla-
ture against the lobby. We warn the
lobby against itself. This is to be a leg
islature memorable in the history of the
state for the work it shall 90 to right
the wrongs of the oppressed. We insist
that the corruptionist shall have no
hearing. We are on the lookout for
evidences of his effort. If we find him
busy we shall fearlessly expose him.
The legislature. needs the assistance
of the people at large if it is TO accom-
plish the highest results. Every citizen
has the right to make suggestions to our
senators and representatives Every
citizen ought to do it. He can make his
ideas known directly to them or to us,
and we shall see that they are fairly
considered and acted on. The whole
state is lobby for this purpose. Such a
lobby is worthy of encouragement.
When measures are introduced and
under debate the legislature needs the
assistance of experts now and then that
it may act intelIigently. A good many
matters require actions with the details
of which only very few men are IA
miliar. Special knowledge of the
higher grade is demanded for their
treatment. In such case men of this
kind ought to be called on. A third
house of this kind is very desirable and
very helpful.
individuals and interests. whose posi-
ton will be aided or impaired by pro-
posed legislation, have a right to hear
ing before the legislature. They should
have their day in court. The law Sc
cures them this. So does every princi-
pie of fair dealing. They should be
permitted to present their views for or
against, as the advocate is allowed to in
the tribunal of justice. This is lobby
which has to exist. 1t deserves toIera-
ton only, however. That is all.
But the lobbyist who goes about with
oily tongue, with flattery, with money,
with social attention as his tools, trying
to thwart the. will of the people-against
him we warn the public and every leg
iSlator. Let him beware Of the wrath
of honest men. Let him beware of the
exposure and disgrace which await his
first move. We have the names and the
records of every man selected for this
nefarous traffic. We propose to keep
the escutcheon Of this legislature clean
from the tarnish of the corruptionist.

RUsK,s EXPLORATION.

SECRETARY RUsK is perhaps to be
commended for finding time to provide
for the exploration of that marvellous
region between California and Southern
Nevada known as Death Valley. 1t
will hardly do for garden, nor would
it be quite the thing to dump those
Sioux chiefs who have been melting
trouble into it. Probably most of the
thrilling stories told of it are imaginary
or exaggerated, but it is believed that
rowing people who stray into it make
their wills first. 1t is an extensive val
ley that has no water or vegetation and
has poison-infected atmosphere that
kills birds which fly over it, and is hot
enough TO boil eggs anywhere. The
impression that there are mineral
treasures in it has caused people to
enter it and not return. Two expedi-
tons starting from different points and

RICE LAKE, Wis, Jan. 13.-Barron
county is at present in the midst of a
very exciting county seat war. At the
last November meeting of the county
board of supery isOrs apetition signed by
over half the legal voters, wss present
ed,asklng for the removal of the county
seat from Barron, its present location to
Rice Lake, and that the question e sub
mitted to vote of the people al the
next general election. The petition
was then referred to special
committee, and. although signed by
over the required two-fifthS of the vot-
ers, was entirely ignored. and in the
face of this the board by vote of Is to
IL appropriated $1,000 for a new jail at
Barron. An injunction was then served
by the citizens of Rice Lake, which has
not yet been decided by Judge Mar
shall. The board met again at an adj
journed meeting last week, at which
time remOnStrance signed by about
200 voters was presented on behalf of
Barron, and the committee decided
not to submit the question by vote
again of thirteen to twelve and raised
the former appropriation for the jail to
Sc, 100 and let the contract to build. The
citizens of Rice Lake are highly indig-
nant at this move, as they pay two
thirds of the taxes of the county and
have erected a handsome court house
and jail at cost of $4,000 and donated
it to the county free of all expense. The
war has just commenced and promises
to be very exciting before many days.
The county officers were installed last
week, there being no change from last
year except in that of county treasurer
and district attorney, which places
were filled by j. E. Horsman, of Rice
Lake. and Ii. G. Ellsworth, OF Cumber-
land. They are entitled to red feathers
on account of being the first and only
Democrats ever elected in the comfy.

PROPER INQUIRY.

There is some pertinency in the in
vestigation proposed in congress as to
whether New Hampshire as state
meets the constitutional requirement of
a republican form of government. The
fact that it causes Senator CHANDLER
to gyrate in rage is evidence that con-
spiracy to thwart the expressed will of
the people of that state has been con-
summated. A casual hireling of de-
funct legislature is allowed to dictate
the possession of the state government
and the senatorship in defiance of the
judgment of the ablest constitutional
lawyers, Republicans. He apportions
out the membership of the legislature
with no other regard than to admit
those of his party and exclude others,
and no legal method is found to oppose
to his arbitrary and partisan course. A
state that has no protection against
such assumptions Of power may we'll be
a subject of inquiry as to its form of
government.

Beck's Fortune.

Gath in Cincinnati Enquirer.
ibid you ever hear, said Judge Mont
gomery, 1.-The story of the late Senator
Beck. of Kentucky, in that respect? 1t
seems that about the year 1857 he went
up to ST. Paul. and was advised there
to buy tract of ten acres some distance
out from the city, and he did buy it for
$1,000 cash. Soon afterward the war
came on, and Mr.. Beck became separ-
ated from his investment. He had
friends, however, possibly Scotch
friends, who paid bis assessments for
him. The property was not, therefore,
sold under tax sales. In the course of
time, after the war was over, and st.
Paul and Minneapolis began to grow,
Mr.. Beck'S ten acres were surveyed, and
each acre was divided into ten building
lots. He got the price of his Invest
ment upon most of those lots. So that,
upon that transaction alone. he accumu-
lated very large fortune, probably be-
yond his expectations at any former
Lime OF his life.

MAY BE LEFT VACANT.

If the three men in the Illinois legis-
lature who represent the local organiza-
ton of farmers adhere to their an
nounced purpose to defeat an election
by either of the old parties. and leave
the senatorial seat vacant for two years,
it does not appear how any other result
can be had. They cannot expect the
mountain to come to the mouse. The
Democrats are instructed by the people
to vote for PALMER, and will no doubt
feel bound to stand by him to the end.
The Republicans might be willing to
vote for selection by the three could
they thereby secure a senator to vote
with them on party questions, but they
have few votes that cannot be turned
over. 1t is the understanding that in
cases where legislatures fail to elect
the seat remains vacant until the next
session. The Democrats had $4,000 ma
jority in the vote for members
of the legislature, and should have
the senator If the voice of the people
is regarded.

PARNELL is CLIPPER.
The National Leag que Gives Him
Rousing Welcome.

Rousing Welcome.
DUBLIN, Jan. 13.-At the meeting
of the National league held here to-day,
Mr.. Parnell was given an enthusiastic
reception. He was repeatedly greeted
with cheers, and reiterated the state
ment he had previously made to the
effect that he informed justin Mccarthy
as to the chief features of his manifesto
at least twenty-four hours before it was
published. A dispatch from Longford
says that there has been split in the
national league party in that locality.
A division there taken upon the question
of vote of confidence in Parnell show
that there ware los Parnellites and los
McCartnyiteS present. During the
course OF his remarks Mr.. Parnell said
that conspiracy and lying were, next to
billingsgate, the prominent features of
his opponents resources and argu-
ments. He said he outlined to
Mr.. Mccarthy what are known as
the four points of his manifesto.
Mr.. Mccarthy twice told him
that he had consulted with Mr.. Glad
stone on these pOintS-once when they
were alone together and once in the
presence of MI. Redmond. According
lo MI. dTuell, MI. MCCARTHY Sdlu:
''All can say, as l have already told
you, is that Mr.. Gladstone intends to
deny point blank all your statements"
which, said Mr.. Parneil, showed that Mr..
Gladstone was aware of the proposed
points of the manifesto. Mr.. Parnell
announced that the subscriptions to the
national league funds since the last
meeting exceeded $4,000, showing that
the country is practically with him.
Mr.. Parnell warmly urged the claims of
the evicted tenants, CHASING them as

ATTEMPT AT RESURRECTION.

After all the literary work done for
the force bill the eranks who were so
devoted to it in the senate are still
trying to work the LAZARUS act On it.
Their devotion to it is one of the mar
wells Of the times in political way. The
Chicago lnter-Ocean, in its despair the
other day, said that "nothing short of
legislative miracle can resurrect the
bill" 1t named the eight Republicans
who helped switch it off as TRAITORS to
the party, and did not quite spare the
amiable old gentleman, MORTON, who
attempts to preside between,visitS to the
lunch room. The pressure brought to
bear upon the cratic brethren is PROV
ing too much for their convictions. 1t
is charged that at least three of the
eight were under solemn and even writ
ten agreement when the measure was
laid aside for the tariff at the last ses-
sion to stand up to it in the later
period. 1t is insisted that 'this meas
ure, more than any other, represents the
demands of the Republican party and
the purpose of Republican policy" 1t
may be that the Republicans who rec
ognize the bad politics and general cuss-
edness of the thing have been bulldozed
back into its support. aud that old man
MORTON has been toned up to do the
will of the HOARS, SPooNERS, CHAN
Oilers and the other reckless partisans.
If the late dispatches are reliable, there
will be desperate effort to again get
the force bill on the track, perhaps in
still further modified form. 1t IS not
believed that at this late date in the
session the stupendous folly can be con-
summarized.

THE HUMAN PRODUCTION.

In recent local public discussion the
idea was advanced that the great in
crease Of population in the enlightened
lands was largely due to the multiplica-
lion of labor-saving machinery. The
fact that these have been almost en-
tirely the product OF the closing cen
fury was aligned with the averment
that the census figures of European and
American nations have never had such
booms as in that period. There should
be no disparagement to the genius of
the inventors and machine architects.
Their achievements have never been
more multifarioUs and signal than in
the present times, but there is in sew
eral notable quarters evident dissatis
faction with the rate of human develop
ment. The attention of the French
chamber of deputies is directed to the
subject. and bill is being consid-
cred to impose heavy tax on
bachelors, graded by the degree
OF Obduracy and ability to be
mulcted. The fEmperor WILLIAM, of
Germany, has taken note of the need of
soldier material to keep up the national
tag plan designed to promote the
growth of the family. His scheme is
to regulate the income tax by the num-
Der of children in the family. He
would have, in the case of those whose
incomes are less than 5000 marks
year, reduction made for every child.
In this way the family of six children
would be entirely exempt from the in
come tax as long as the quota is kept
filled with sons and daughters not of
adult years. 1t is not stated whether
there is to be a bounty for excess
of the half dozen or not In
the province of Quebec, in Can
ada, it has been noted that 100
acres of land is given to
families of a dozen children. Germany
has much less need for the promotion of
human production than France. Poster
ity there has little of the French re-
luctance, and Russia is the only prom
inent European country that has
larger per cent of increase. France, on
the other hand, is nearly stagnant in
population, and must soon decisiyely
be surpassed by its Teutonic rival. In
some of the New England and other
Eastern states the question is being agi-
tated how to promote the growth of the
family, and penal devices are suggested
for bachelors. In Maryland the legisla-
ture has under consideration a bill to
discourage, if not obliterate, the bach
elor class. Recent writer's state that in
New York, and the other large cities,
the most fashionable circles are taking
a new departure in this relation, and
the proudest mothers are those with
twins. The world is likely to fill up as
never before the coming century.
