WASHINGTON CRY, April 28.-TSpecial.-
The members of the Washington deIega-
ton. as well as other representatives in
The new states, are considerably worried
4 aver the possibility of being unable to
secure sufficient appropriations for the
eompletion of the survey of unsurveyed
pubIic lands in the Western states. As the
suudry civil bill now stands, only $50, 600
4 appropriated for the continuation of
myeys. with $4,000 additional for the
xer;6cation of surveys already made. This
hsomething less than the $500 600 that is
necessary to do this work. 1t is found
hat the surveyors general of the various
,tstes in which there are still public lands
unsurveyed submitted estimates to the
interior department aggregating $500, 900
for the continuance of surveys. Sec
rtary Noble quietly cut this in two,
and his estimate to congress for this work
vss placed at 800, 600. The committee on
appropriations cut this to $50, 0OG, as be-
fore stated This action created Juror
Il the Western states, especially among
settlers who have located with the assent
s Of the government on unsurveyed lands,
and who cannot get title to the property
until surveys are made. The report of the
commissioner of the general land office
shows that in Washington. Idaho, Mon
ANA New Mexico and other states and
territories there are hundreds of thou
ssnds OF acres that have been disposed of
that are not surveyed. Another trouble
that besets them is the fact that the states
csnnot secure the money due them for
"a. Al
lines are surveyed, and these institutions
are naturally Inconvenience for want of
money.
Senator Allen and Representative Will
son will make big fight in behalf of a
larger appropriation when the sundry
civil bill is brought up, and Mr.. Wilson
will propose an amendment appropriating
100000 for this work. In case this is de-
feated Representative Sweet, of Idaho,
will move to devote the $685., 900 which is
Incorporated in the bill for the support
lnd maintenance of the geological survey,
OF so much of that sum as may be neces-
nry, to the survey of homestead lands.
Says Judge Sweet:
propose to ask the House whether it would
nsher give $685. to the support of an orna-
mental scientific institution or utilize that sum
In securing homes for the settlers in the West
who are now living on land to which the gov
eminent cannot give any title because it has
not money with which to make the necessary
surveys. / cannot believe the House will go on
record against the settlers and against our
school funds by voting to continue the surveys
Of the geological bureau. which can easily be
suspended for year without doing any harm.
II the House could see the letters, petitions,
kilograms, etc, which the Western senators and
members are receiving from farmers and towns
people who are vitality interested in this there
would not be a moments hesitation.

Edison, chairman ofthe citizens commit
tee OF the twenty-sixth national encamp-

letter to Commander-in-Chief Palmer
stating that the committee asked congress
to appropriate 100000 from the funds of

ing the expenses of the encampment, and
that in consequence of an erroneous belief
that the appropriation was asked from the

Growth of the Tin Plate Industrv

WASHINGTON Cry, April 2s.-Ira Aver,
special agent of the treasury, has sub
lnitted to Secretary Foster an exhaustive
report ON the tin plate business of this
country The manufacture of tin plate
ana the growth of the industry makes the
following showing:

Total Of nine months, ontnut 4o4n

IotaI OF nine months output. 4,240, 152
These figures do not include products of
sheet iron or steel used in the manufacture
OF articles timed or terne-plated, esti-
mated at 100000 pounds. Aver figures
that American manufacturers, in order to
maintain the duty on tin plates after Octo-
Der l, 1897, must produce in one of six
years ending at that date 1900 600 pounds
OF tin and terne plates weighing lighter
than sixty-three pounds to the square foot.
Aver says that indications, under existing
conditions, are that the production of tin
plate in this country before the close of
the second fiscal year will be in excess of
an annual amount of 200, 900, 900 pounds.

THE NEW IMMIGRANT.

Another foe to true Republi-
canism was the new immigrant.
The constant flow of the forei n
paupers to our shores, their ig-
norance of every essential prin-
ciple of government, their super
stitious devotion to crude, insane
dogmas about property, labor, fl
nance, marriage, social laws; this
we have long had to fear. Where
ever this element has been thick
: t in our population the major
ity against us has been largest,
Chicago gave the phenomin j
Democratic gains " which over
turned Illinois, and the "high

ter election, 5000 anarchists met
to pay annual homage to the
martyrs who died in the Hay
market square.

The Wheeling NeCs has an in
teresting tale about Senator
Faulkner to the effect that sin
consideration of his high posi-
ton andFother things the Demo-
cratic State Committee thought
it proper to call on him for a
contribution of $500 toward the
campaign expenses of the man
ayers. The call was made, but
in poker parlance Charles did not
! see it; in fact he was shy and
didn't ante cent of the looked
for lucre that was to help the
committee to carry the State for
the Democracy. The looked-for
check never turned up at Mr..
Chilton's office, and consequent
ly it was a great disappointment,
not only from the mere mercen-
airy side of the matter, but from
the fact that a Democrat whom
the party had delighted to honor
and who was able to give several
ducats more than $500, should be
so dead to his duty in the affair.
So as the money did not come
the politicians did not feel very
kindly toward the Senator. There
is a noticeable lack of that
peaches and cream quality be-
tween them which is so necessa-
~ to political success. In conse.
Iuence of all this Mr.. Faulkner
will not have a NEEDLESS and
stoneless row to hoe in gaining a
reelection. In fact, it is said
that certain politicians will
warmly oppose his claims to
'urther political preferment and
will support the claims of other
gentlemen, who, it has been un.
lerstood, have been mentioned
s having ambitions to fill Mr.,
Faulkner's shoes. Among those
mentioned most conspicuously
ire Congressman William L,
Wilson, of the Second district,
Judge Bennett, of Weston, and
Ex-Governor E. Willis Wilson. =

II is agreeable to note that the fine old
English words father" and mother"
are becoming fashionable again, even
for children just learning to talk. Some
there were who never gave them up, but
taught their own children to use the
strong, dignifed names handed down
from English ancestors.
But the modern terms used to desig-
nate ones immediate ancestors on the
paternal and maternal side have gone
through an odd series of changes, each
apparently worse than the last. An In
FAINT in arms utters its first sound, ma
ma. A young sheep, calf or kitten
makes the same cry. It is therefore
natural. But why should the syllable
be perpetuated after the human young
one learns TO talk?
Some of the degraded substitutes for
the admirable names father and mother
are remarkable. In one part of the
country the native young one says fatty
''pappy and nanny" again pap and
nam" You go on to some place where
the inhabitants pride themselves little
on their style. and then the names are
Frenchifed, accent on the last syllable,
papa and mamma" Again it is pop
per and mommer," not infrequently alb
breviated to pop and nom " Another
person says ''paa and maa," giving "a"
the sound it has in man" That is bad
enough.
But the lowest down, meanest sound
ing names Of all for your immediate an
cestors are paw and nav" The indi-
vidual who will paw and nav his IA

The New Campaign Method

The editor Of the American edition of
The Review of Reviews expresses it as
his opinion that q more orderly, re-
spectacle and enlightened national cam
paign has probably never been conducted
in this country" than the one closing
Nov. 8. The reason Of it is due to a
change Of method. Quite unobserved
by US a revolution has taken place in
our political campaigning. It used to
be all noise and appeal to passion and
enthusiasm. Republican was taught to
hate the very name Democrat, and vice
versa. Immense torchlight professions
were the thing, with barking little can
non" in their trail-the cannon being
discharged in front of t'other party's
headquarters for the purpose of shatter-
ing the plate glass windows.
Now this has all changed because Of
the new fashion. The phrase "educa-
tional campaign" came into use in 1888,
and it has stuck by US. The new cam
paign method is that of education.
Printed documents are scattered in enor-
nous quantity before every voter in the
land. Each party has it's press bureau,
which sees to it that every argument
possible is put before the voter to read.
The voter reads the documents and
thinks about them. OF the tremendous
activity in the printing business called
forth by the new campaign method, par
ticularly of political plates" The Re-
view says:
But the whiting. printing and distributing
OF documents Is only part of the "educa-
tional bureaus" work. Each has a large or
sanization OF reporters and journalists en-.
gagged in furnishing readable press news.
Leading party men from all portions of the
country are daily inter viewed, and the party
papers are promptly supplied-by messenger,
by telegraph and by maii-with copies.
Greatest Of all is the branch OF the work
that supplies the country weekly press with
stefeotyped columns OF political news, argu-
ment and opinion, freshly and attractiveiy
prepared. The Democratic committee regu-
lsrly furnishes several hundred papers with
this plate matter" ami IL Is said that the Re
