parltlon-a spirit from another world
there before him! He could not
realize the evidences of his own senses
he was stunned, and stood fixed for
an1nstant-gazing wildly atthe woman
throwing herself eagerly forward with
outstretched arm and hand.
1t was but moment-but the twink
ling of an eye-when the recognition
was mutual and complete.
MY God! mother-O my mothero
the man shrieked, and the two sank to
their knees, clasped in embrace of wild
lntensity-both overcome by the food
of emotion ard tears.

Victory after a long and supreme
struggle must be sweet to any soul.
But as it came to this mothers heart
after years of hopeless endeavOrs and
bitter longing-how inexpressibly de-
licious and satisfying.
AS my words can neither measure
nor picture the scene and its bliss, I
shall give only a few more paragraphs,
telling why the woman yet remains in
America-On the frontier. The story
of the going thither has been told.
Briefly, the Q had been so charmed
with the new western world that he
resolved never to leave it again. He
had intended, when the campaign was
ended-when the red savages-"red
devils" as the old pioneers still call
them when these were exterminated
or driven into the ocean, or beaten into
subjection-he then intended taking
his mother and brother, if all were live
then, to q romantic home on the most
beautiful of the western prairies.
AS it was, the mother now claimed
her child. He was still a British sub
ject-still an English minor-and so
she secured his release from the United
States army.
She could separate the son from the
government Of the United States, but
she could not compel his return to
England. The embodiment of that
English character which refuses to
yield a food of soil where British pluck
and Saxon valor have secured a foot
hOld-he emphatically refused to sur
render his rights in America rights
that he had secured as he believed, in
endeavoring to MAINTAIN the union Of
the States. And so with the money he
had saved from his soldering under
the starry flag of freedom, he had
planted himself on a ranch out on the
frontier. He has made it a Gibraltar
in n sense. No mother love can win
him away; no persuasion from over
the seas c4nmove him in his resolution
to stick-to stay on the soil earned by
his devotion to the adopted country.
England has the Rocky Fortress, and
she intends to hold it despite the mother
Spain or Portugal-despite the Gallo
brother over the way-despite the
world. But here ends the analogy
if analogy there be-between the man
and his mother country and the
adopted land.
And SO the Notwithstanding that
peculiar phase of maternal affection
which always exists towards the last
born-consents to an alienation which
leaves older sons in the service of that
a~ristocratic government under which
they were born; while she-giving the
fullest measure Of her love to the Ben
jamin, settles down in democratic
America-regularly drawing her pen
sion from the mother country over the
sea. M. V. MOORE.

pulp to the water and cook ten
minutes. Turn out into a strainer and
press all the corn-pulp through. Put

set the kettle over the fire, and boil and
skim it till a jelly is formed, which you
can tell by dropping a little in a glass
Of cold water. If it falls to the bottom
without mingling with the water the
jelly Is done. When it is Iukewarm

till the following day, then cover them
with brandy paper and paste them

THE ALIEN LABOR LAW.

From the Globe-Democrat
The ruling of the treasury department
In the case of Mr.. Niedringhaus will
cause considerable surprise, IN view Of
the fact that it practically sets aside the
true intent and meaning of the alien law
as that measure has been understood by
the people. 1t was certainly not the
purpose of congr SIS TO authorize such
discrimination against domestic labor as
this ruling implies The section Of the
act which provides that individuals or
corporations may engage skilled work
men IN foreign countries under contract
TO perform labor in the United States, IN
or upon any new industry, has a proviso
TO the effect that it shall apply only when
such labor can not otherwise be Oh
tanned. That is to say, skilled laborers
are to be brought here from Europe to
compete with our laborers in any in
dustry. 1t is only when the required
workmen are not to be found in this
country that the law permits them to be
employed in other countries. There
is nothing to show that the
skill demanded for the manufac-
ture of tin-plate is wanting in the
United States. The probability is that
that it can be increased as fast as neces-
sary without going abroad for it. Mr..
Niedringhaus and others who propose
to supply the country with tin plate of
home manufacture are in duty bound to
give preference to home labor, or the
aw IN question is a farce aud a mockery.
This matter is one of considerable i'm
portance, both industrially and politi-
cally. The ruling of the treasury de-
partment is not conclusive, but it is
likely to do much harm if allowed to
stand as correct Interpretation of the
law. The object of congress was to
protect domestic workmen against for
elgn competition; but under this ruling
an employer of skilled labor in any new
field may take away such protection
and import workmen by hundreds and
thousands to fill place in our industrial
system which properly belongsto our own
citizens. If the law is open to construc-
ton of that sort, then it is fraud and
should be repealed as soon as possible
But mere ruling by treasury official
Is not enough to settle the question. 1t
Is the province of:the courts to say what
law means and how it is to be en-
forced; and in a case like the present,
nothing else will satisfy the country.
The administration can not afford to
take the responsibility of holding that a
law passed for the express purpose of
benehting the labor interest NAV be so
applied as to inflict an injury by giving
an advantage to foreign workmen. That
kind of protection is not favored by the
Republican party. The government
owes its first DUTY TO IFS own neODln and
there is special reason in this instance
for the observance of such view. 1t is
to be hoped, therefore. that early steps
will be taken to test the issue before
judicial tribunal having jurisdiction
thereof, to the end that we may know
just what the alien labor law is or is not
wrath to those IN whose interest it was
passed.

Observer Dorman, of Oklahoma City,
says the people of Oklahoma need have no
fear of tornadoes. The signal service
bureau, he says, has compiled history OF
600 to1uadoes which have visited the var
ious parts of the United States during
fifty years past. Only one of them, in
1872, struck any part Of the Indian terri
tory. Through research and study OF the
movements of tornadoes In the United
States the signal service bureau has con-
cluded that the Indian territory and the
country west of it Will never be subject to
tornadoes. Tornadoes are those atmos-
pheric disturbances which assume whirl-
ing spiral motion, the only kind of atmos-
pheric disturbance which does extensive
damage. This country, of course, is not
free from violent wind storms, but it will
be great relief to timid people to know
that a careful research has revealed almost
a total absence in this country of the
dreaded tornado

MORMON EMIGRATION.

The Houston, Texas, Post republishes
the information that many of the faith
full among the AIormons are taking up
their residence in northern Mexico, in
the states of Sonora and chihuahua.
They consider that they have been driven
to Mexico by the persecution of the Cen
tiles and the laws prohibitory of their
plural domestic relations in the United
States. They are reported to have found
a congenial climate in the beautiful
CorrlaitoS valley. Here they have built
adobe houses, planted orchards and vine
yards, and are preparing to irrigate a
naturally fertile soil by means of a ditch
to bring water from the surrounding
mountains.
The Mexican government is inclined
to encourage the immigration of the
Mormons and have placed no restric-
ton so as to prohibit them from
living after their peculiar religious be-
lief. The Mormons, like the Quakers,
Dunkards, Shakers and other sects,
whose religion seems impressed upon
even their personal appearance, are a
frugal, industrious and patient people,
and in time they will make the valley Of
the Corrlaitos blossom as the garden of
Eden. Already they have shown their
regard for their government and have
named their principal settlement Diaz.
As a rule the Mormons are law-abiding
citizens and good tax payers, and but
for their abominable marital relations
their departure from the United States
would be a matter Of regret. The doc
trine is too pernicious, however, to al
low it to get any foot-hold, and the cry
raised many years ago that the Nor
mons must 60 seems to be in the way of
fulfillment at last.
The Mormons are going, and if they
are satisfied with their new home they
can rest assured that the people of the
United States have no tears to weep
over their departure

FARMERS AND WHEAT,

The Chicago correspondent of the st.
Louis Post Dispatch discusses the mar
ket situation and outlook for the present
wheat crop and incidentally refers to the
proposed plan that is being urged upon
the wheat growers of the country to
withhold the present crop, or as much of
it as may be necessary, in order to force
the price up. Here is what he says, in
part, and it contains some pertinent
points, as will be seen:
There has been another deluge Of
Farmers Alliance talk this week and the
trade and newspapers are discussing and
ridiculing as genuine document a
circular which two weeks ago they
characterized as the fake production of
newspaper correspondent. There is no
longer any doubt that the farmers are
trying to organize, not to corner the
wheat market, but to hold back portion
of their crop with view TO obtaining a
better average price for the whole.
There is nothing reasonable in farmers
scheming to get a remunerative price for
their production, and it comes with bad
grace for Boards of Trade, which are
professedly the farmers best friends, TO
throw cold water on any honest move in
that direction. 1t will be strange in
deed if the rIdicule to which the we'll
meaning, though perhaps inexperienced
farmers, are being subjected at the hands
Of the grain gamblers at the present
time does not result in the passage of
sweeping law by congress next winter
designed to do away altogether with the
system of short selling, under whose
operation the spectators can make low
price for the farmer to sell his wheat at.
The drift is Enthusiastically that way"
