 They accomplished the feat and got across just in time to prevent the destruction of $50, ,000 worth of property.
 Any way to make money. A company
 whose object is Ito enable all persons
 desiring to attend the worlds fair to do
 so" has been organized. You pay to this
 company in monthly installments between
 now and the opening of the fair a sum
 which will cover all the expenses for a
 week or 10 days trip to Chicago, which
 amount covers railroad fare, hotel bills,
 etc. The cost from Boston, for example,
 is figured at $53, and the monthly pay
 ments are $2. 50 for 19 months. If you
 pay in half of the installments and cannot go on with your payments, you get back 85 per cent of all the payments except the
 first. That first payment and the remain ing 15 per cent. is retained for the benefit of the company
 Calfornians now engaging in the culti- yation of pruses find the profits very tempting, being about one dollar a tree, or $100 the acre. This rate increases as the tree grows older until the fruit each year is worth almost two dollars. Ex-Secretary of State Thomas Beck has given up every thing else to engage in the cultivation of the prune. The Pajaro Land and Fruit company was recently formed for the pur pose of raising this fruit in large quanti ties. It has bought GOO acres of land in Pajaro valley, and will plant an orchard of French prune trees. They will be from four to six feet in height when put into the ground. The stock of these trees is to be two years old and the grafting one year. Next year they will begin to yield fruit. The average life of tree is thirty years.
 Those who haven't kept track of the words used in electrical work will be glad to hear that much improved thermopile has been made. The improvements con- sist chiefly in the employment of positive electrode of an alloy of antimony not easily fusible and very durable; further, in the use of nickel as negative electrode, and in an arrangement for preventing the overheating of the place of junction. The model shown has an electromotive force of four volts and current of five amperes, 1t consumption of 200 litres of gas per nour. The working expenses are about 'ne farthing per. hour. It will thus be teen that the machine per cubic metre of gas gives total electrical energy of 100 watts, while the best apparatus of this iind heretofore constructed only gave bout twenty-four watts per cubic measure if gas |

TNlDTLTERATED ROT.

The Welsh tin plate makers have
ceased to speak soft words to their en-
ployes. They are mad. Dispatches
from London say hat sixty delegates
are coming to America to inquire into
the prospect for profitable employment.
that American agents are buying the
latest machinery and are Offering over
double wages. Perhaps the democratic
papers will claim that these American
agents are buying machinery Just for the
novelty Of the thing" but it will be a
long cold day when intelligent people be
lieye such trash. Leader.
The above is unauthorized rot. The
tin tariff schedule takes effect today.
This country annually imports 100000
tons of tin plate The duty on this is
raised from one cent a pound to two
and two-tenths cents per pound. There
is not enough tin plate manufactured in
this country to make "a tin root for the
new national bank building in this city.
There have been seven tons of tin mined
altogether in the United States no
more. no less. All tin goods have raised
in price on account Of the tariff. The
consumers of tin ware the farmers and
the laboring men will pay SlG,OOO,OOO
this year in duties on tin plate. Wales
supplies the United States with nearly
all it's tin plate. There are a man and
two boys in st. Louis re-dipping old tin
plate. That is the extent of tin plate
manufacture in this country.
And now in the face of these well
known facts the poor, ignorant Leader,
swallowing the story Of some lying sheet
publishes the above rot about Welsh tin
plate makers being mad. and not speak
ing soft words to their employees;
about American agents buying the latest
machinery and offering owe double
wages" Double wages" to whom?
The machinery? And that: Sixty del
egates are coming to America to inquire
into the prospect for profitable employ
ment." And why didn't the Leader add:
To replace American labor with '.foreign
pauper labor" for that is what the ''sixty
delegates" would come for il they come
at all. Now give us the truth about tin
and tin plates. Such rot as the above is
a libel upon western journalism.

IOWA

The Iowa republicans are not to be
sneezed at when it comes to fixing up a
state ticket, choking off nominating
speeches and formulating a twenty plank
platform with few resolution trimmings
on the side. They are good ones. They
have taught other state republican con-
ventions how to make harmony easy by
gagging all opposition and making the
minority take its medicine whether ii
likes it or not. Not a single candidate
was permitted to decline, but all were
led to the sacriticial altar without a WISH
BILE kick upon the part of the victims.
But it is the platform that excites the
admiration of the lovers of the marvel
lous. 1t is most fearfully and wonder
fully made. 1t is a revelation. Think
of it! A party which carried the state in
1876 by a majority of wei $4,000 and
gave nearly that majority for Garfield,
and that now doesn't really know which
one of the boys it is, whether republican,
prohibition or alliance or a little of each,
and with gloomy prospects of e~lecting a
single state officer this year a short time
ago the Massachusetts of the
west, today debatable ground
declaring: I'VE point to the record of
this state under republican administra-
ton for justification in the declaration
that we favor economy and honesty in
the administration of public affairs"
Think of it! A party whose majorities
of two score and ten "A decade ago have
been Whitfield down to the thinnest point
through its blunderings and populations
and unpopular administrations. pointing
to its record for economy and honesty.
The people of Iowa must be fools not to
recognize the ECONOMY and honesty"
mentioned and to attest their apprecia-
lion of it by supporting the republican
party, OF those platform makers must be
idiots or knaves. If the republican parry
leaders a find consolation in their pres
ent political outlook, they can draw an
amazing sight of comfort from defeat
and exquisite delight in humiliation.
And then they protest against the
reelection of Boics to the governorship of
Iowa" OF course they protest. Whole
families of republicans in Iowa protest
against his reelection. and it may be that
more than an equal number of dem
ocrats protest against the election of
Hiram G. Wheeler to the goyernorship of
Iowa. but they are not fools enough to
him out as an object of their po-
envy or malice. Governor Boies
was fairly elected governor of that state
by a plurality of over 1900, andhe will be
this year. But the democrats will
not go into the protesting business to
elect him. They will elect him upon the
tariff issue and the silver issue and the
high license issue. They will leave plat
form protestations and denunciations
to the republicans.

company should not be SO construed as
to embrace mineral lands. ~. S. r. s.
Sec. 23l6.1
Fourth. In this last statute it again
provided that mineral lands were re-
served exclusively to the United States,
unless otherwise specially provided in
the acts making the grants.
Firth. On June 22. 1874. congress
again provided that in all cases lands
valuable for minerals shall be reserved
from sale except as otherwise expressly
directed by law. L. s. Il. >. See. 23lS.
From this ANALYSIS of the several en-
actments it appears:
First. Only lands not mineral are
granted.
Second. Mineral lands were expressly
excluded.
Third. Construction of the law So as
to embrace mineral lands was forbidden
to all officers and courts.
Fourth. Mineral lands were reserved
exclusively to the United States.
Fifth. No lands valuable for minerals
should be sold by indirection.
And when, says the colonel. we add
to this that the function of a patent is
to confirm what is granted. not to con-
vey what is excluded, we have erected a
seemingly impregnable barrier around
our mineral possessions. When we add
to this the %indisputable proposition that
a patent to land reserved is void, i'm
peachable in law and equity, nothing is
left on which p%retense can stand" The
argument is continued upon the same
lines of reasoning to Il point where rea-
sonable adverse criticism absolutely
ceases and conviction is established in
the mind of any disintercsted, intelligent
man. In conclusion the colonel afirms
that congress shall first determine such
lands as are incontestably not mineral,
and second, it shall determine such
lands as are incontcstably mineral.
Then patents should issue to the North
crn Pacific for such as it is entitled to
upon the lands clearly not mineral. Upon
lands which are mineral indemnity may
be taken by the Northern Pacific com
pany out of the indemnity bills if they
shall he preserved. This is the way the
colonel would adjust the matter and it
seems a very reasonable as well as a
practicable one.

MINNEAPOLIS TO THE FRONT

The TRIBUNE is pleased to learn
through the columns of the journal of
that city that Minneapolis is going in for
the republican national convention in
dead earnest. Western cities do nothing
by halves. There is that grit. persever-
ance, and what may be termed a bull
dog hangOnativeness about them that
never let's go when once they start in for
anything. Minneapolis wants the con
~vention and if she once sets her teeth in
the prize it is an even-up wager she will
get it. The latest proposition is to raise
100000 for the enterprise instead of
SJO.OO. That is business. One gentle
man subscribed $1,000. There is a bust
ness head. If the other wealthy men of
that city come forward with correspond
ing subscriptions the 100000 will be
raised.
The west should pull with and for
Minneapolis. The star of empire is
rapidly approaching the setting SUM-. A
few years ago Buffalo. then Cincinnati,
were "the west" Chicago and st. Louis
left those cities in the east. Minneap-
oils and Omaha and Denver are relegat-
ing st. Louis and Chicago among the
back numbers, and a few years hence
Great Falls and Salt Lake City will in
turn place Minneapolis and Denver out
side the pale of western cities. Let the
west work for the west. Great Falls
will be asking, and justly asking, for the
national conventions of both parties
within "A very few years. They will
never pass over the heads of Minneap-
oils from Chicago. But get it out of
Chicago to Minneapolis, and the next
step will be to Great Falls. 1t took a
great many years to get the national
conventions away from Philadelphia and
Buffalo. They will never go back there
again. Once moved west of Chicago
they will not return eastward, for enter
prise and great achievements are tending
westward and large national gatherings
follow in their wake. A pull for Mime
apOlis is a pull for the farther west.

4. HERALD'S FABRICATION.

The legislature of Pennsylvania has
passed and the governor has signed a
ballot reform law; but to secure the ap-
proval of the democratic governor it had
first to be curtailed of some of it's most
desirable provisions.-Helen Herald.
There is the Herald all over. 1t won't
tell the truth if it can make "a point
against the democratic party by lying.
The fact is that the democrats in the
Pennsylvania legislature attempted to
amend the bill by providing that no one
but the judge of an election should &C
company the voter into a booth. The
republicans defeated the amendment.
They have too much at stake in that
state to permit the voter to prepare his
own ballot in secrecy. The great iron
kings and coal barons and Bardsleys are
republicans and propose that the state
shall cast "a republican electoral vote. 1t
would not do this with a secret ballot,
hence they enacted an emasculated Aus
tralian election law in order that the
bosses whom Quay may select shall be
permitted to enter the booth with the
dependent voter and bribe-taker and
thus be enabled to deliver the goods
that will be promised the "fat -%fricrs."
The Herald knows the facts, but it is ii
too narrow partisan sheet to be truthful.
