Nictoria's Prime Ministers.
THE EARL OF, DERBY: By. GEORGE
SAISTsBURy. Harper a. Bros. New York.
To the series which has Included politi-
cal biographies of Beaconsfield. Mel
bourne. Peel. Gladstone, salisbury and
Palmerston is now added a vigorous
sketch of the Earl of Derby. Mr.. Saints
bury proclaims in his preface that his
book Is written from the standpoint of
a Tory, and he very candidly defines "a
Tory as "a person who would, at the re-
spective times and in the respective cir
cumstances. have approved Catholic
emancipation reform, the repeal OF the
corn laws and the whole Irish legislation
of Mr.. Gladstone"
Mr. Saintsbury's frankness is not con-
fined to the preface. 1t shows itself on
every page and lends to his work the
fresh interest which always attaches to
those books in which the author, while
giving his facts with such impartiality as
is possible TO mortals, argues as stoutly
as he can for his opinions. This Mr..
Saintsbury does from chapter one to
finish, as he details the career of the Tory
Prime Minister, who thrice held Office
and in the intervals translated Homer not
unacceptably. Derby he sums as de-
lightfuIly human person, "as human as
Lord Palmerston, with far greater schol-
arship and higher eloquence; at least as
good n scholar as Mr.. Gladstone, with
more humor and more humanity; as
sharp Of tongue as Disraeli, with better
breeding and a more English tone;
thorough sportsman, the absence of which
quality have heard some of my friends
urge as the only spot in Lord Salisbury's
sun; of far heavier calibre than Lord Mel
bourne; free from the priggishness which
marred Lord John Russell. The most
perfect example of the aristocratic type of
Minister Of constitutionally governed
Mr.. Saintsbury writes con amore and
whatever the readers politics or opinions
he will not find dull page.

THE JEW AT HOME. BY JOSEPH PENSELL
q New York: ID. Appleton A Go.

81 New York: ID. Appleton a. Go.
Joseph Pennell is at once one of the
most accomplished of artists and OF con-
troversialists. His black and whites
have all the vividness of living, moving
scene. His views, whether on the High
land cotters or the Jews at Home, are
apt to be terse and pointed.
In brief Mr.. Pennell does not like the
Austrian and Russian Jews. who differ as
the zenith and nadir from their CO.
religionists in Western Europe and in
America. He finds them lazy, dirty and
a little dirtier in freedom than in de-
spotism where cleanliness is enforced by
martial law; lecherous and in short an
upcanny and undesirable ethnic element.
In word." says he, Ito sum up, the
Austro- Hungarian Jews produces moth
ing, he lives on nothing and apparently
he wants nothing" He cannot he in
duced to work with his hands. He wal
lows in filth. His town ''is but a hide
Gus nightmare of dirt, disease and pow
erty; in a large measure the out
come of their own habits and way OF life,
and not as is usually supposed, forced
upon them by Christian persecution"
AS TO the Eastern jews mental ability,
Mr.. Pennell is willing to concede that
"he may be trihe keener ana cleverer
than the Russian peasant, who IS, per,
haps, the dullest creature God ever made,
and from this certificate of attainments
he passes on to the cheerful remark that
with their liberty they sink deeper into,
instead Of seeking TO escape from, the
degradation which we are charitable
enough to think entirely the, result OF
Russian persecution. They like dirt;
they like to herd together in human pig
sites they like 60 live on worse than moth
ing--on food which would not be enough
even for the obstemious Slavak; they like
to make money out of the immortality of
Christians
The Russian censors will probably find
no heresy in Mr.. Pennells little book,
which is of course magnificently illus
trated with pictures of quaint corkscrew
curled Jews in long gabardines, haggling
market places and foul quarters.

A Remarkable Slab Recently Discovered
In New England.

A Remarkable Slab Recently Discovered
In New England.
An interesting account is given by
the Hartford, (Conn.) Times of the dis
covcry at a depth of one hundred and
thirty feet, in the freestone quarries at
Portland, of eight new and sharply de.
fined specimens of fossil footprints
made by some huge creature of the
earlier periods of the planets history.
1t seems that Wesleyan university at
Middleton, Conn.,, will possess the slab
on which this huge creature imprinted
his tracks, millions of years ago, when
the substance was sand and oozy mud,
since hardened into stone. Prof. Will
liam North Rice of the Wesleyan has
purchased the slab for lit is saiD
one hundred dollars 1t is ten and one
half feet long by two feet wide, and
about an inch thick. The most sharply
defined tracks are those that were made
by the creatures hind feet-the others
being lighter, as if he had but lightly
touched the smooth surface with his
fore fcet-if fore feet they could be
called; for this giant creature, as much
bird as crocodile, apparently hadn't
any TRUE fore feet. This particular
family, a kind of iguanodon (nafned by
Hitchcock Anichnus dewcyanus), seems
to be virtually unknown in the geology
of their parts of the world, and to be
limited, as to it's fossil tracks, strictly
to the Connecticut valley, whose sand
stones are SO rich in other fossil foot
prints. These huge and ugly creatures
of an age of the Mesozoic period, a time
of strange animal formations, stood
up on their hind legs, and, in NOV
ing, had a long stride. They
had ugly teeth in their bills or jaws,
and must have been formidable fellows,
even to the ugly and thrice-armed ami
mails, flying, running, swimming, jump.
ing, among whom they lived. As there
were then no human beings on earth
there was no great danger from such
creatures as ignanodons and the hun
dred other strangely made and mon
strous forms of animal life Astounding
here in the Connecticut valley, The
river itself at that time was probably
bay, or Grm of the sea, up to Hartford.
The weather was hot and the air murlly
and steamy and doubtless filled with
unpleasant noises in the battle of life.
These iguanodons or bird-liZnrds, varied
much in size-somc being thirty to fifty
feet in size, others not larger than a
house cat. These newly found tracks
arc said to be those of a creature which
was the first that has been recognized
by its fossil tracks as q quadruped.

A WORD OF ADVICE.

The convention which met at Reno
last Friday was remarkable for the
number Of delegates ON the floor and
tho earnestness which characterized
their proceedings. All seemed to
realize that the only hope for the fu-
ture prosperity OF our State lay in
united, manly, independent action
against the money powers Of the East.
and in favor of the dominant industry
Of Nevada and the welfare Of the peo-
pie OF the nation who are becoming
poorer every year, because of the
scarcity Of the circulating medium
aud tho increasing value Of the gold
dollar OF the money barons.
The platform adopted contains but
one plank demanding the free and IN
limited coinage Of silver at the pres
ont ratio of l6 to 1, and should re-
ceiVe the united support Of the people
Of Nevada at the polls in November,
irrespective Of past party affiliations;
nominated at Omaha is worthy of the
confidence of the American people
and is placed upon q platform not
loaded down with too many isms.
IL such a candidate is nominated
on such platform demanding the
free and unlimited coinage of silver
ut the present ratio of 16 to l, he
should and will receive the hearty
support not only of every citizen of
Nevada but of every laboring man in
the Union who places the prosperity
OF his State and the welfare of the
Nation above party ties and party
pride. The delegates to Omaha from
Nevada should not support any can
d,dHte for the Presidential n0mina-
ton whose actions in the past on the
question Of the free coinage Of silver
il open to the charge uf instncerity,
or who has gone up AMI down hia
State telling the people tlat they do
not know what they want when they
demand the free and unlimited coin
uge Of silver. Neither should they
support any man who in the past has
corrupted the Legislature of State,
or the fountain head of our govern
mental system, the people. II such
candidate Is nominated the intelli-
gent citizen who values honesty and
integrity in public officials will re-
pudiate him at the polls and the cleo
toral vote of this State will be cast
for either Cleveland or Harrison.
There is no lack Of good material 10
lie placed ut tho head of the Omaha
ticket. Gresham, Warner, Morgan or
Weaver as the standard bearer of the
Peoples party will sweep Nevada in
November az the cyclone sweeps from
its path the frail wooden buildings
that statad in it's way.

BREAD EATEN IN RUSSIA.
II Looks Like Petrifed Turf and Is AS
Hard rs Granite.


Hard rs Granite.
James Edgar, of Minneapolis, who
was intrusted with the distribution of
food sent over by this country to the
ADMINISTRATION peasants in the VolGa
district some two months ago, has re-
turned tn New York after having satisA
factorily discharged the important duty
he had voluntarily assumed.
II visited all the principal cities in
tho stricken district" said Mr.. Edgar,
land established agencies in each place
for the distribution of the food. After ap-
pointing the agents I travelled through
the smaller villages and saw for myself
the suffering Of those starving peasants
1t is impossible for one who has not
seen them as they are to form any idea
OF their helpless, horrible condition.
They were actually starving when the
gift of the American people reached
them. The only thing they could get
to eat was black bread, and there was
not even enough of that to go around"
Mr.. Edgar showed the reporter piece
of this substance which he had brought
over with him. 1t looked like pctrifed
black turf. The crust was almost as
hard as granite, and could not be
broken with the fingers. One of the in
gradients of the compound, as Mr.. Ed
gar explained it, was ground sawdust.
Broken barley, oats, rye and resinors
bark that had first been reduced to a
pulp were tho other ingredients.
