SECRETARY WINDOW has approved
the order of Secretary Rush that cattle
coming from Canada into the district of
Vermont shall be inspected at st. AL
bans by veterinary surgeon. He does
not regard any Inconvenience or delay
to importers as a sufficient reason for
endangering the cattle interests of this
country by the possible introduction of
disease. His is undoubtedly the right
view of the case. The public health
should be protected by the rigid inspec-
ton of all cattle, whether imported or
raised here. The government can not
possibly err in the direction of strict
ness.

IT is well known that the Farmers
Alliance men of the Northwest are not
so favorable to the sub-treasury idea as
are their brethren of the Southern
States. This difference of opinion was
illustrated in the convention of the
Minnesota Alliance at St. Paul last
week, when a resolution to endorse the
Ocala platform was defeated, and in
the resolution as adopted no mention
was made of the sub.treasury scheme.
This was doubtless wise and polite
thing to do. If there is any virtue in
sub-treasuries, the idea is rather too
novel and radical to command much
support as yet. The Minnesota farm
ers probably see, too, that it is bad
politics to spread out too extensively.
They have enough to fight for without
touching sub treasures.
The report of a fight with the
Indians on last week Monday is con-

on a repetition of the Custer massacre.

IT is reported from Washington that
Secretaries Noble and Proctor are at
loggerheads over the management of
the Indians. General Miles wants the
war department to take charge of the
Sioux, and both General Schofield and
Secretary Proctor approve the plan.
Secretary Noble, however, resents this
interference with the work of his de-
partment, and it is said that warm
discussion between the two secretaries
took place in a cabinet meeting. The
president sides with Secretary Noble.
There is something to be said on both
sides of the matter, but if the Sioux are
likely to continue as ugly as they have
been of late, the place for them is in
the hands of the army. They are more
likely to get fair treatment from the
army than from the agents of the in
terror department. If the present out
break would lead to o radical change in
our Indian policy, the loss of life and
property which has taken place would
not be quite in vain. A change will
be imperatively demanded before long,
for the land near the reservations is
rapidly filling up with settlers, who will
not endure the menace of great swarms
of sayages at their very doors.

1t is said, however, that the Irish leader
will consent to retire temporarily if Mr..
O'Bren is placed in command. AS Mr..
O'Brien will have Il term of six months
to serve in Jail if he sets foot on British

THE Duchess of Marlborough says
that her net annual income has been
$135 900 and that she has needed the
whole of it to meet her expenses.
Place this fact against this other one
that the duchess does not contribute
one iota to the general wealth and
well-being, and it is not very strange
that poor people reach the conclusion
that there is something wrong in the
present organization of society.

The subject of seats for clerks has
again become prominent in certain cir
cles Of New York city, and The Sun
recently had interviews with several
leading merchants. One of these had
the courage to express the true feelings
of his class and TO get out OF the hvpo-
critical rut of sympathy and brotherly
consideration for their employees" The
report as printed by The Sun is as fol
lows:
Mr.. George lie Boutillier, Of lie Bout
illier Brothers, Of Fourteenth street,
said:
I'VE have altogether too many laws.
There certainly was no crying necessity
for any such legislation as this. 1t is Of
a kind that never bears good fruit.
Every employer is going to look after
the health Of his employees as far as he
can. 1t is to his interest to do so, let alone
any other consideration. We don't pro
vide seats behind the counters. because
rs a matter Of fact our girls have very
little time to sit down, and the seats
would only be in the way. There is no
objection on the part of any person in
authority in this store to a girl sitting
down when she has nothing else to do.
The girls have the right to 90 in front
OF the counter and occupy the seats
there.
"As l have said. however, leisure is
scarce. II the girls are not compelled
actually to wait upon customers they
have stock to attend TO and counters to
clean off. Whatever leisure they have
is of little benefit to them. The morn
ing work begins at s o'clock and lasts
until noon. If business is duh the girls
may have an hour OF ease at the start.
In the afternoon, however, there is no
lull in the rush. They are kept on their
feet for six solid hours, and that is when
they suffer. if at all. The fact is that
this standing or sitting is largely habit.
1T takes a new girl about two weeks
TO learn whether she can get along or
not. During those two weeks she will
have severe pains in the legs. If she is
fitted for the work she will
date herself to it in two weeks, and the
pains will gradually disappear; If not,
h will have to give up. Girls that
cannot stand have no business TO seek
such employment. They are not fitted
for it, and they only injure themselves
seriously if they go against nature.
Business cannot be controlled by a sym
pathy for the weak and sickly. There
Is other employment for such girls as
cannot endure standing under the neces-
sary regulations"

A fair-si2ed audience was present last
evening to hear Mr.. Raglan lecture upor
"Alasks. The lecture consisted of fine
illustrations OF scenery photographed by
Mr.. Raglan on a trip from Denver to
Alaska and return, with entertaining com.
meuts aud explanations which gave the
audience a vivid conception of the jour,
ney. Fully as interesting as the scenes in
Alaska we're some views of the Columbus
river, of Portland. Seattle and Tacoma.
and a complete lecture upon that portion
of the country would have been appre,
ciated as much by the audience as that on
Alaska.
The lecturer did not describe or picture
any portion OF Alaska except that along
the coast line. the scenes on the great Yu-
kou river, of Mount St. Elias and other
features which possess great interest,
were untouched. although enough wa.
told and pictured to impress forcibly upon
the audience the facts Of the vastness aud
richness Of Alaska and convey an idea oil
the grandeur and beauty Of its scenery.

The Irrigation Age does Wyoming
proud in its latest issue. The front page
OF its cover presents a handsomely exc,
cuted portrait of State Engineer Mead,
while the back page shows a large view
ofthe capitol In another column is pre-.
scented an article from the Age on the
subject of Wyoming. OF Engineer
Mead the paper speaks in the following
strain, which will be cheerfully endorsed
by Wyoming people: ''Elwood Mead is
the state engineer OF Wyoming and the
young and vigorous head Of the irrigation
movement in hat Young and vigorous
commonwealth. He was born 10 Indiana
in 1858. He graduated from Purdue uni
verslty and Afterwards took a diploma as
a post. graduate from the Iowa a~gricul-
tural college. In 1852 he went 10 Colo
RADIO to accept the chair Of engineering in
state agricultural college at Fort Col
Inns. In 1855 he became assistant
irrigation engineer of Colorado, under
Col. Nettleton. He subsequently resumed
his place al Fort Collins, but IN 1883 re-
ceived the appointment Of territorial
engineer OF Wyoming He is now state
engineer, having just entered upon his
third term in the office. Mr.. Mead has
been conspiclously successful in his public
work in Wyoming The confidence which
the state reposes IN his Judgment was
strikinglg illustrated By the passage OF the
new irrigation law, which establishes a
new system Of administration on lines
laiI down by HIM. A profound believer
in the possibilities of irrigation and the
future Of his state, and a modest, scholarly
man, Elwood Mead may be reckoncd
among the strong and promising person
alitiGs who are working out the destiny Of
the Western empire"

spiracy 20 skilfully managed, mainly by
two men, has therefore fallen, to the

have been At work not only in Cheyenne
but elsewhere to undermine the doctor in
the estimation OF the public as well as Of
the membership of his own church. The

and underhanded. although the instru-

the evil which they were doing.
There have been several fortunate cir

The daily press of the land, with few
exceptions, denies wholesale the claims
made by the labor press and the repre-
s~entatives of worhngmen's ~organiza-
tons. But occasionally a c~apitalistic
editormakes a slip Of the pen and admits
the truth unintentionally. No state
ments Of the labor men have been more
emphatically denied and ridiculed than
that the vast army Of enforced idlers is
constantly being enlarged, and the down.
ward tendency of wages becoming more
and more marked.
In a recent editorial opposing the
great influx Of foreign paupers" the
New York Herald thoughtlessly made
use Of the following language:
But things have changed during the
last twenty years. There is now on the
average a round million men, a vast
army. constantly out Of work. Compe,
tition has cut down the wages of the
laborer and employment is uncertain. "

In April Forum W. II. Mallock op-
poses the idea of complete unity between
the workers of different countries. Mr..
Mallock may be mistaken, but his views
are entitled TO a fair consideration. Here
is what he says on the subject.
The wider the attempted scopeof the
union or federation we speak Of, the
nor difficult will become the task Of
uniting h various sections to be com
prised in it, and the greater will be the
antagonism of interest between these
sections. Until all the climates and
soils Of the world offer equal advantages
to the laborer, there never can be an en-
tire community OF interest between the
laborers of all countries, and in proper
ton as the laborers came to own the
soils they occupy, the diversity of inter
ests would be more and more apparent.
at has often afforded matter for sense
less, useless wonder to philosophers that
the various peoples should consent to
supply soldiers who would fight and die
for the ambition and ACKNOWLEDGEMENT Of
their rulers. 1t is a fact, however, that
the various peoples have done this, and
il they have fought and died for the ad-
vantage of others, we can hardly doubt
that they would do the same for the ad-
vantage of themselves, The laborers of
different countries, in fact, are only nat
ural allies so long AS they are in the
presence Of what they think to be a COM
mon foe-capital; and if once that foe
were removed or crippled they would
find bitterer foes in one another thar
they ever found in it,
In the same article Mr.. Mallock says,
THE laborer will progress except
with the progress Of the capitalist" 1t
is singular that with all his study on
this question he has never thought of a
condition in which the laborer himself
would be the capitalist.

the statute provision that at the admission
OF a new state a star shall be added to the

Last year the people of Idaho had the
pleasant prospect of being admitted on
the Fourth Of July, and of being able to
celebrate together the birthdays of the
new state and of the United States. But
the president suggested to their delegate
III congress that signing a little earlier the
act for her admission would allow Idaho's
star to go upon the flag on July 4, 1890,
and 90 gain a whole year for 1t. That
suggestion was accepted, and it spoiled all

George a. Clarke, an experienced iron
worker of Boston, claims to have dis
covered an ore in the Rocky mountains
which he believes is new to the world.
He says Of It:
Il took specimens Of the ore to as
sayors in Cincinnati, Chicago and Boston,
and no one Of them could tell me the
name Of the mineral. Then | began
here a series Of experiments myself, mix
ing it with molten iron. 1t combined
perfectly with the iron. and | found
that only a small quantity was necessary
to increase the huidity Of the metal. 1t
rendered the iron ductile, and in low
grades acted as a purifier. The product
of the alloy was n homogeneous metal
of very fine pores, capable of higher
finish than before. The Stag expelled
by its use contained no metal, and was
very light. In the treatment of iron
with only one per cent. of this new ore
the formers tensile strength was in
creased from 10 to % per cent
Using only half of one per cent, of
this or in a mixture with copper l found
that it gave the metal greater density
and a great increase-from sc to 100 per
Nfiil- bu7ile strength. lue reAllI-
ing metal, too, is capable of a high polish.
In a word, 1 found that the ore increased
tho tensile strength and the huidity
under heat of both these metals and
makes them both of finer grain. 1t is
nou-~corrosive."
Mr.. Clarke produced a handful of the
ore-a substance That looked like a fine
sandstone, save that it was black, and
many pieces of it presented highly pol
ished surfaces as smooth as n bit of glass.
Mr.. Clarke refused to state the location
of the field, which, he said, was exposed
over the space of an acre, as he is trying
to get control of it first.-Cor. Chicago
