The Tennessee Insurrection.

The convict lease system in Tennes-
see, which has brought about the pres
emit depIorable condition Of affairs, in
volving the loss of many lives and
breedinsa spirit Of lawlessness through
out the commonwealth, is a disgrace to
the state. 1t should never have been
inaugurated. While no law-abiding or
peace.loving person will endorse the
method adopted by the miners to rid
the state of the odious institution, all
must acknowledge that they have some
cause for complaint.
Occurrences like those which have
been witnessed during the past few
days, and the awful tragedy reported
this morning, are the fruits Of mis-
taken policy of economy, and, although
they are deplorable and horrifying in
the extrome, cannot help but act as a
wholesome lesson to the citizens and
statesmen OF Tennessee who are direct
ly responsible for the existence OF the
system.
That the lesson will be needed there
is no doubt, for already public senti-
ment in the state is overwhelmingly in
favor of repeal Of the law. The gov
ernor himself has said that he will de-
clare the leases void, and the company
holding them has asked to be released.
The convict system Of Tennessee will
90 and the economists who thought to
rent out the services Of the states Grim
inals would save money to the tax-pay-
ers will learn their mistake.
The lesson has been a dear one, and
the end is not yet A terrible blow to
organized government has been expe-
rienced, and the effects will be felt for
many years to come. The government
has been powerless before the mob,
and the spirit of lawlessness which was
melted by a disgraceful policy has pre-
vailed. 1t will be a long while before
Tennessee will recover.
In the meantime the state should re-
peal the law establishing the convict
lease system, provide a penitentiary for
her criminals and put them at class
of work which will not deprive free
and honest labor Of its rights.

Enemios OF Labor.

Es.g York Herald
tits a jugglery of words to discuss the
lawlessness at Buffalo as labor OUT
break. Never has there been more
unprovoked, more inexcusable, q
more wanton resort to violence than
that displayed there. There was some
provocation, though no justification, for
the lawlessness Of the Tennessee miners
and that OF the mill workers at Home
stead.
there was not the shadow of provoca-
ton. No sooner had the men dropped
their work than they took up the torch.
The instant they became strikers they
became rioters.
Such men are the foes OF labor as they
are the foes of society. In becoming ri
oters given to pillage and to arson they
forfeit every right that belongs to and
all sympathy that is due law-abiding
strikers.

BREAKFAST BUDGET.

There Is q lake entirely rooted with
salt near 0bdorsk, Siberia. The lake 10
nine miles wide and seventeen long. In
the long ago, rapid evaporation OF the
lakes water left great salt crystals
floating on the surface. In the course
Of time these Gagged together. Thus the
waters were finally covered. In 1873
the water found an underground outlet
into the river Obi, which lowered its
surface about three feet The salt
crust was so thick, however, that it re-
tanned its old level, and presents the
curious spectacle Of salt rooted lake.
Thirty.fye OF the forty-nine states
and territories in the Union have &C
copied the building sites assigned them
on the Worlds Fair grounds, and have
submitted to the construction bureau
for approval the plans of the buildings
they propose to erect. Nearly all the
others, It is known, are about ready to
take like action. Every state and ter
ritory, with perhaps three exceptions,
will erect building.
A Milwaukee firm is now completing
plans for monster engine TO be used
at the Worlds Fair. The machine will
be one OF the largest ever made, being
sixty-eight feet in length and forty feet
broad. The fly wheel will be thirty feet
in diameter and eleven feet four inches
in breadth. The engine will be OF near
ly 5000 horse power.
Rhode Island will present its Worlds
Fair building to Chicago after the ex-
position closes. The structure will be
very picturesque in appearance, being
reproduction in part of the famous
"old Stone Mill" at Newport.
An Indiana stone quarry company is
having a life size figure of an elephant

A "Reminiscences.

An interesting "Reminiscences OF by
gone days is published in connection
with the selection Of W. F. sheehan, Of
Buffalo, to manage the Democratic
campaign in New York State. Its re-
called that some years ago when Mr..
Cleveland was nominated for mayor Of
Buffalo he declined to make the race
unless John @. sheehan, who was nomi-
mated the same year for county clerk,
was Withdrawn. John O. sheehan was
a brother to W. F. sheehan.
MIR. Cleveland's demand was COM
piled with, sheehan was withdrawn and
the candidate for mayor remained on
the ticket. Both sheehan and his
brother, however, so the story goes,
vowed they would "get even" with the
man who was SO much better than his
party that he dictated who should be
on the county ticket, as the price Of his
leading the municipal one. They were
in earnest, and they resented the insult
by embarrassing cleveland's after cam
paignsin many ways.
Now this brother, Mr.. W. F. sheehan,
has been selected to manage Cleyeland's
campaign. It is said that che loves
Grover Cleveland just as much to-day
as he did when his brother was forced
out of fat Office by Cleveland's auto
crazy. OF course he will let bygones be
bygones and not avail himself OF this
capital chance to even up the account
between his family and the Claimant.
Everybody familiar with Mr.. William
F. sheehan knows that he is just the
sort Of a man who would rejoice in
heaping Goals of fire on an enemy's
head"
It is not pleasant prospect for Mr..
Cleveland, for it isn't likely that Mr..
sheehan will kiss the hand that smote
him. We shall see what we shall see.
TIE Bessmer steel product in the
United States during the half Of the
year was 2,sO5.999 tons, the largest for
any. six months in the history Of the
industry. This means that more labor
was employed in making steel than
ever before. A Republican law protects
the American steelindustry.

FROM THE AFRICAN JUNGLE.

Mrs. French Shcldon--She Returns TO this
Country After Months of Adventure.
Mrs. French Sheldon, about whom
the newspapers of two continents
have been publishing strange stories
for several months past, has again
returned to the United States. She
is an American by birth, and there
is nothing in her appearance to in
dictate that she likes wandering over
deserts, climbing mountains, the
companionship Of ignorant and SUI
perstitious men and women, or any
other feature of African travel in
fact there is apparently every reason
to believe that she enjoys the frivol-
tiles of civilized life as well as do
the women who listened with eager
ness and respect to her story.
Mrs. Sheldon went to Africa
merely to crafty her desire to see
the country. She paid her own ex-
penses, transacted all the business
herself, and, excepting her maid,
was the only white woman in the
caravan that she conducted. Ac-
cording to the scientific men who
have followed Mrs. Sheldon's mcve-
ments, her trip was remarkable for
two things. She traversed a large
track of desert country, and she
found her way to lake which one
of the big African explorers had de-
clared inaccessible. Her trip occu-
pied six months, and she travelled
900 miles after reaching Zanziba,
her starting point. There she en-
ployed some 1873 men as bearers,
guides and guards, and purchased
the supplies she considered nee
essary Mombasa was the point at
which her hardships began, much of
the trip from Zanzibar to Nom
hasa having been by steamer. All
through the march into the interior
and on the return, excepting short
period when she was disabled by
accident, she walked at the head of
the column.
The tramp through the jungle
from Mombasa involved a march of
$50 miles before the caravan reached
Lake Chala, a body of water which
the great explorer Jos. Thom son
said could never be reached. The
surrounding country is full of relies
of the rain of FIRE, and Lake Chala
represents the latest manifestation
of volcanic energy. The lake itself
is crater of intense volume.
On the return march Mrs. Shell
don met with an accident by falling
from her palauquin while crossing a
stream, being thrown into the water
sixty feet below. She is now, how
ever, entirely recovered.

Rig waves yyithont wind.

Occasionally there appears great
wave sweeping across the calm sur
face of the ocean in the fairest
weather and when no wind is blow
ing, There are few perils Of the
sea to be dreaded than such a wave.
Fortunately they are very rare, yet
more than once ship has en-
countered one. Only a short time
ago the Etruria was met by wave
Of this kind, which rolled upon her
like wall Of water, and breaking
against her sides swept the deck
with irresistible force, killing one
sailor and seriously injuring others.
A smaller and less staunch yes
sci might have been overwhelmed
and sent to the bottom by the blow.
The cause of these singular waves
is believed to be some disturbance
of a vol .anic nature at the bottom
of the sea. Volcanoes exist in the
ocean as well as on land; in fact,
nearly all the volcanoes known are
on or near the seacoast. 1t is easy
to see that an upheaval at the sea
bottom may start billow at the
surface of the water when we re-
member that huge waves have been
sent clear across the Pacific Ocean
to San Francisco by the shakings of
the earth on the borders of Asia.
The world under water is not only
three times as extensive as that
which is covered only by air, but
it possesses many of the same great
natural phenomena on scale that
is perhaps proportionately vast, but
of whose existence we are made
aware only by such indications as
the volcanic ocean waves that ships
occasionally encounter. -Philadel-
phia Times.

A Poor Frontiersman.

Bishop Hare, Of South Dakota, is
fond of telling stories about himself
to illustrate the points which he
playfully makes that a man who
lives on the plains comes to be a
good deal Of barbarian. Once he
had the misfortune while entering a
dining-room to step upon the skirt
of lady's dress. Apologizing he
said: you know that / have been
living with the Indians lately and
have grown somewhat awkward"
The lady quickly replied: 81
don't think that, Bishop, but | am
surprised at one thing-that after
living so long with the Indians you
shouldn't be better at following up
trail. New York Mercury.

NEGROES THREAT
To March ON the Poor Farm at Corsicana,
Texas.

CoRsICANA, TEX, March g.
There came near being regular in
surrection against the poor farm au-
thorities the past two days, and, al
though the matter has quieted down
it is not by any means settled.
Mandy Washington, a colored wo-
man who was serving a long SEN
tence, died Sunday night and a re-
port was circulated that
Superintendent Faux had been the
immediate cause Of her death, hav-
ing administered blows from
the effects Of which she died. The
negroes of the town demanded a
post norton, the result of which
exonorated the superintendent, but
the negroes are not yet satisfied and
threaten to march on the farm and
hberate the negroes serving senten-
ees there. Superintendent Faux
ner has ordered extra guards posted
around the farm and to shoot or kill
the first man, white or black, at
tempting to escape therefrom.
