instance, the comparatively obscure
brother has shown real nobility of
nature. Free from the jealousy and
envy which would have vexed a small
mind in such position. he has taken
pleasure in the fame of the states
man. 1t is easy to imagine the view
that a mean mind would have taken
of similar situation. Let US add
that the statesman himself has
shown true fraternal generosity of
another kind, and, perhaps, of a
more difficult kind, for it is often
easier to confer an obligation than
to accept heartily"
This is indeed, an instance that
may well excite emulation. Friend
ship is one of the greatest boons
that life can have AS Bacon says,
lit redoubleth joys, and cutteth grief
in halves" But when brotherhood
is united with it, it attains still
richer result; for then it has a world
of memories and early associations
in common-the mutual love OF the
same hOnOred parents, the recOllec-
tions of the same beloved home, and
of past scenes wildly impressed on
the minds of both, in which no other
friend, however dear, can possibly
share. 1t is then we'll worth all the
effort that can be given to prepare
for and to preserve this brOtherly
friendship in mature life. If its
foundatio be laid in the home, by
justice, impartiality and love; if the
children be trained to self-control and
to respect each others independence;
if a kindly spirit be instilled into
each one, and then, if, as they one by
one leave the household hearth they
carry with them these lessons and
cherish with tender watchfulness the
love that has grown up in their
hearts for each other-life will have
a richness and sacredness that can
never be known by those who reck-
lessly scatter all the past and its
early associations to the winds

ANECDOTES OF PARsON HA YNEs.

Rev. Mr.. Haynes, one of the pio-
neer ministers of Rutland, VT, was
famous for his pithy sayings At
one time he overheard his daugh-

icising certain neighbors more
severely than was pleasing to him,
whereupon he proceeded to read
them a lecture on the sinfulness of
scandal. But, father" remonstrat-

During the evening an earnest dis

arose, and from the lofty pitch of
some of the voices it seemed as if a
part of the disputants, at least, were
in danger of losing their temper. At
this juncture Mr.. Haynes daughter

A GREAT DOMAIN BY IRRIGA TON

The arid region of the United States
covers an area OF 1000 miles in its
widest part, from east to west, and
1000 miles from north to south. 1t
embraces the area between the Tooth
meriden and the coast range. and
from the British possessions on the
north to Mexico on the south. This
space contains over million of
square milestone third of the area of
the United States, excluding Alaska
equal to more than 6OO,OOO,OOO
acres All of Arizona, New Mexico,
Utah, Wyoming Idaho, Colorado,
and Nevada and portions Of Califor-
MIA, Oregon, Washington, Texas,
Kansas, Nevada, North and South
Dakota. lie within this belt. 1t is es-
timated in the report for the year
ending June 80, 1891, of the Hon.
John Noble, secretary Of the interior,
that 100000 acres that are now
desert may be redeemed by irriga-
ton so as to produce the cereals,
fruits, and garden products possible
in the climate where the lands are To-
Gated"
When it is remembered that 12O,-

The four states above named now
have a population of about 10000
900, and could easily support thrice
that number; so that estimating the
cultivable area of the arid region at
12O,OOO,OOO acres, and doubtless it
greatly exceeds that amount, the
United States has in that desert land

THE HUNT FOR CARA.

1t is difficult for people living in
the Eastern states to comprehend
how the condition of affairs on the
Rio Grande frontier could exist any
where within the confines of the
United States. The majority of
those who live along the Rio Grande
river on the Texas side are very diff
ferent from any other popula ton in
this country 1t is an overlapping
of Mexico into the United States, and
the people, though they have been
American citizens for more than forty
years, are almost as much an alien
race as the Chinese, and have shown
no disposition to amalgamate with
the other Americans. They take no
interest in American politics. In
Mexican affairs, however, they are
deeply in earnest, and specially is
civil discord south ofthe Rio Grande
River. Few of them speak English,
and the white people of Texas, New
Mexico, and Arizona along the Dor
der contemporary call them "Greas-
ers," and hold them in no higher es-
TEEN than they do negroes and In
dians In 1880 there were 43, 900 of
such people in Texas, and, with the
exception Of those about San Anto-
MO, these ''Greasers" are herdsmen
and small farmers along the Rio

with the windings of the river. it is
fully thirteen hundred miles, and
thence along the boundaries of New
Mexico, Arizona, and California
to San Diego is several hun
dred miles more. The frontier is
is quite as long as the Atlantic sea-
board from Portland in Maine, to
the sou thernmos point of the PENN
sula of Florida. Some three hundred
miles of country, where the Rio
Grande river runs through deep
canons, is practically unexplored.
This section comprises the counties
Preside Brewster, Foley, and part
of Buchel. And all along the border
is heavy undergro wth called chap
arral. This word originally was ap-
piled, believe, to cactus thickets;
but recently in that country any
kind of an undergro in which
men can hide or find shelter is spok-
en- of as chaparral. With this very
long frontier to guard, with the peo-
pie of the same race as and friendly
to the bandits, and with aid of the
sheltering chaparral, it has been pos
sible for Cara to elude the pursuit

United States cavalry that have been

An army officer who served long
on the Texas frontier said to the
writer the other day that in his opin-
ion the only possible way to catch
and suppress these bandits is to en-
ploy several regiments of cavalry,
and have great roundup of all
the "Greasers" in the neighbour
hood in which Cara and his men
have been known to be, and not to
be too nice about killing a lot of
them. With only a troop in pursuit,
these bandits now have no difficulty
in escaping, as, upon the approach
of the soldiers, the bandits break up
their organization and distribute
themselves around the country, com
ing together again when the troop

NEWSPAPER COMMENT.
We are a United Country.

we are a OuILcQ country.
Chill has exercised her option, and
she has chosen peace. Our sister
republic has learned a lesson which
she is not likely to forget for years.
The event justifies every measure
of preparation for war that has been
taken by the navy department under
Secretary Tracey's energetic and far
seeing management. 1t is solely be-
cause we were ready for war that
! war was averted.
Of the patriotism, wisdom and
frmness of Gen. Harrison's policy
throughout the affair there can be
no more doubt than of the patriotic
readiness of the democratic house to
support %he administration. The
president. his distinguished secretary
of state and the democra tic congress
men who have looked first to the
honor of the flag, deserve the graft
tude of the nation.
It is worth a hundred million
dollars to this country to have the
world understand that there is
country, and united country, be-
hind the fag.-[ N. Y. Sun.
A Public Scandal.
The present senate of New York,
both in the manner in which 1T was
constituted and in much of its pro-
ceedings, is thus far public scandal
for which the democratic party is
responsible. 1t justifies the feeling
with which democratic success in this
state was regarded. Such familiar
results of that success in the New York
-l<% 81,
why it is that a large body of dis
contented republicans yet prefer the
great traditions Of their party to
such leadership and conduct of
the democratic party.-l Harper
Weekly.
Our National Debt.
1t is one of the notable features of
the financial stability of this nation
that the national debt per family is
so low, aud it is the subject of COM
ment that while the ratio of national
debt to families has decreased stead
ilv the national wealth has been
growing faster than that of any
ma ton on the globe, and our capital
and resources have improved more
rapidly than those of any other
nat1On.-l N. Y. Press.
Let MS Have Good English.
The most general and the most un-
fortunate default in our educational
system, from the university to the
district school, is neglect of the
language which we speak and the
treasures which it holds. An increa s.
ing disposition to supply this
| lamentable deficiency is happily dis
| cernible. But the small minority
who learn to use their noble mother
tongue with ease and power still
owe little to those who assume to
| teach it. N. Y. Tribune.
Wanted-A Political Creed.
The democratic congressman are
very hard at work nowadays, al
though not on the public business.
They are trying to make up their al
| legged minds as to what it will be
judicious for them to engage in this
winter and to believe in next sum-

everything was satisfactorily arranged.

THE problem of the future IN railway

continuously gong down and wages are
increasing. A large portion OF the time
of your officers and managers Is taken
up meeting and consulting and discussing

many has arrived at financial position, as
your directors think it has, when it can
safely be expected to earn its fixed charges
and a surplus, they would recommend that
the surplus be equally divided with the
employees. For instance. If your capital
is $50, 900, 600 and the wages of the en-
ployees in the year amount to $1,000, 900.
let that be the rate Of division. If your
surplus earnings are S65O,000 a year. it
would be per cent. for the stockholders
and 1 per cent. to the employees;
An employee, then, who has served
for the entire year without acct
dent caused by his own negligence, would
receive his per cent. upon the amount of
his pay. As the earnings of the company
increase the percentage will be still larger.
In any event, the employees would still re-
ceive regular compensation, and would
also share to some extent IN whatever pros
perity the company had: Wherever this
has been tried IN manufacturing comps-

successfully adopted on one of the French
