three, two or one and half per cent
It will all amount to the same thing in the
end. With the equation established by
experience that thirty year bond at per
cent equals nothing, and that established
by the deduction that fifty year bond at
8 per cent and seventy-five year loan at
2 per cent also equal nothing, the mathe-
matical demonstration is complete that all
are exactly equal So it does not really
make much difference what the terms of
extension are.
But unless some security is afforded for
the payment of the new loan, principal
and interest, why not count the subsidy
as defaulted debt at present and let the
Government realize what 1t can from the
securities?

The Great Sahara May Yet Blossom

The Great sahara may Yet Blossom.
To the Editor of The Dispatch:
In the partitioning and parceling out OF
Africa among the COVER nments of Europe,
which is about practically completed, it
seems they have all divided shy of the
land of simooms and sandstorms-tne great
desert of the Sahara.
There is still unappropriated this area of
1854, ,30S. square miles, on which exists
n bnrbarous population of about q, ,000, 900.
On this great waste. which averages nearly
l50 miles square; are M numerous tS 3ases which o

when once necessity calls for it, this
whole region, or at least m och the greater
part of it, to be transformed to one Of peace
and plenty.
The same winds that now make horror
of the loose sand may be set to pumping
water from drill wells and nraduss al sas asnn sand

and covered with trees and other forms
of vegetation, these storms will gradually
diminish until they are no more unendnr-
able than the winds of our Kansas. few
windy days that lash Lake Erie into wild
commotion make no impression on tho
surrounding soil: and yet u II thas nat soil TeEe re

The day will probably come when it will
be better policy to improve unpromising
places than to rush over the earth and hunt
and crowd into those made inviting by
nature, for, after all, those who cannot
add to what nature does for them, can
not long keep unimpaired the bounty
that nature gives to them. There arc mill

TIE IMPORTANT POINT.

The Frye bill for refunding the Pacific
Railway debts to the government proposes
to give the Union Pacific fifty years to pay
off the debt al 8 per cent interest, and the
Central Pacific seventy-five years at per
cent The Central Pacific wishes the
House Committee to cut down the interest
to ~ per cent and the Union Pacific very
pertinently objects to being treated less
favorably than the Central Pacific. Thus
the issue stands at present
Yet there is another question which is
more pertinent to all parties concerned
than this one over which they are standing
at deadlock What security will there be
for the payment of the new funded debt?
If the precedent established with regard
to the old one of providing for the pay
ment of neither principal nor interest is left
practicable, it makes little difference
whether either company is to pay

They Rejoice Over the Decision OF the
United Sta es Court in the Green Case.
CINCINNATI, June 13.-The intensely black
eye given the Government by the decision
of United States Judge Jackson in the case
of L. Il. Green. acting President OF the
Whisky Trust, is the theme of much con-
graduation in whisky circles here to-day.
The only one who is not glad is Treasurer
W. n. Hobart, who. when he heard OF the
second indictment, hurried to court to give
bond for his appearance at Boston IN oroer
that he might not be disturbed during the
May Festival.
United states Circuit Judge Ricks, of
Cleveland, who had two similar cases before
him, had heard them, and had prepared an
opinion, but he withheld his decision anu
came here to listen to Judge Jackson's hear
ing. 1t turned out that they agreed exactly
and Judge Kicks telegraphed to Cteveland
TO publish his opinion. United states DIS
trict Attorney Heron is still absent ana un-
til he returns the final order releasing MI.

0LEoMARGARINE IN Maryland.
The United States Court Declares the Law
Prohibiting Its Sale Unconstitutioual.

BALTIMORE, MD, June l8.-Judge Bond, of
the United States Court, has rendered an
important opinion in the case of Chas. E.
McAllister, alleged agent of Brau & Fits.
oleomargarine manufacturers of Chicago,
who sought his relief from the custody of
the State authorities. Judge Bond holds
that the arrest was illegal and discharges
the prisoner. Mr.. McAllister was arrested
under the Maryland law relating to the sale
Of oleomargarine.
The judge in reviewing the case said:
That q person may import an article from
foreign country or one of the States of the
Union and sell 1t in the condition which it
was imported, is not to be disputed now
after long line of decisions by the Supreme
Court A State NAV regulate the sale and
storage of articles dangerous to the health
Of the city. but 1t cannot prohibit the i'm
portation. The laws OF the United States
recognize oleomargarine as n mercantile
article. Being such, while State may per.
haps regulate its sale, it cannot prohibits
importation. The statute In question does
this and is uncon stitutional in this respect
and void. The petitioner is discharged.

sou


son Conference.
M1NNEAPoLIs, MINI, June ia novel and
pleasant little episode has grown out of the
organization work done for Harrison by
what has been described in the dispatches
as the Harrison Conference.
There were 40 men in this, each one repre-
senting State. The success of the cam
paign was, beyond all doubt, due to this
powerful combination. Since the victory
they have met and gotten up q very beauti-
full souvenir album, of which just ~ have
been issued. One will be held by each of the
State Representatives in the conference, one
by General Michener, of Indiana, who,
though not a member of the conference,
was General Harrison's chief manager, and
the 42d album will be sent to President Har-
rison.
The 40 representatives and General Mich
ener have signed their names. New Eng
land is represented by Major Henry Gould,
of Medflefd, Mass. The cover Of each album
bears the numbers "52l'' in gold letters. this
being the final estimate of Harrison's
strength, as telegraphed the Herald the day
it was made.

PHILADELPHIA, June 13.-(SpeciaL]- IA news
paper reporter had the hardihood to-day to

disacreeable William NJ. Singerly was with

his break.
Governor Pattison was about to speak in
answer, but apparently thought better of it..
He smiled, and then raising his hands,
waved them before his face with the palms
outward, in the manner In which Macbeth
tried to bluff Banquo's ghost. But he said
nothing. Thegesture was so non.committal
that the reporter turned to Mr.. Singcrly for
an explanation. 1--WE are talking business, "

TEXAS CATTLE.

!. E. Baker has had considerable
trouble in getting his Texas cattle III
to the Miami pasture which he has oc-
cupied for several years. Last week
he received several train loads OF
steers at Chetopa and proceeded TO
drive them through the state to the
pasture, but was met by about lOO
armed citizens of Cherokee county
who were determined to prevent the
cattle passing through any part OF the
state. After delay of several days a
compromise was effected and the citi.
zens withdrew their opposition, the
cattle being permitted to 60 to the
pasture, but there is very bitter feel
ing on the part of the citizens living
along the line of the territory against
the Introduction of Texas cattle at
any time and more especially during
the spring and summer months, and
this question should be settled by the
sanitary commissioners having in view
the interests of the stock raisers OF
Cherokee county as well US the cattle
men of the territory.
The Indians aud farmers Of the
territory would no doubt be glad to
see the importation Of Texas cattle
done away with altogether as they
lose more or less every year by Texas
fever and their stock is never secure
from disease while the present law ex-
lists. If they will lease their surplus
lands for purely agricultural purposes
they will be the gamers in every way,
and can then feel safe in improving
their breeds of cattle.
