TROu PING TO THE SASKATCHEWAN

Why are American farmers trooping
into the Saskatchewan district OF the
Canadian Northwest Territories? The
answer is simple. Settlers from the
Eastern States are unable to find suit
able unoccupied land in the Western
States; the young men who were born
and raised in the West look about for
land and cannot find it near home, and
of those who have land some have ne
cessity for more. They want first-class
farming land that does not require irri-
cation; they want rich grass land for
their cattle, and they want it cheap.
They find that they can attain such land
in all quantities, some of it free and as
much as they want at s. an acre, and
that as q settler need pay only q tenth
of the purchase money down, with nine
years to pay the rest, his land increases
in value far above the purchase price
long before his payments are due. And
the men of Washington, Oregon and
Western States see by the map that they
have not far to go; that lines run up
from the boundary at several points to
Calgary and Edmonton, and that the
lands to be acquired are along the line
of railway and within easy reach of q
station. 1t is no wonder therefore that
there is quiet but extensive movement
among Americon farmers to get to this
Northern Alberta country, and that the
lande from fifty miles north of Calgary
to Edmonton on the Saskatchewan and
beyond it are very eagerly sought. In
several parts, where two years ago only
a small railway station marked the dis
trict, mixed colonies of Canadians and
Americans have now established them
selves.

IT is interesting to note the anx-
iety manifested on the part of the
Union and the republican organs in
different parts of the state to locate
Hon. Ben L. Gable for a foreign APP
pointment. According to the very
latest advices, he has been provided
with the consul generalship at Lon
don and the mission to Germany,
both in the same breath. and neither
of which are made with the least
foundation, as a matter of course. 1t
would indeed be a shame if Mr.. Cable
should show so little consideration of
the republican organs as to decline
all appointments that might be Of

the coffin filled to OVERLOOKING with red

THE LIFE OF ST. PATRICK.

Divested of legendary lore the life
story of ST. Patrick is not long one.
Wales, Scotland and France all claim
his birth with the weight of probability
in favor of Wales. The date was about
S73. When he was about sixteen years
old he was stolen by pirates or marauders
from the north and sold as a slave in
Ireland. For seven years he tended
swine on a mountain in County Antrim,
and then he escaped to the continent,
where he became deacon, priest anR
bishop. He came of good family, and
the ecclesiastical name of Patricius was
given him by Pope Celestine, who sent
him back to Ireland to convert the
people. The accounts differ about his
age at this time.

A Popular CONFIRMATION.

A New York clergyman told his con-
gregation the other Sunday that all those
who put S. in the contribution box would
get $50 back in their business within a
year, and that if they failed to realize
that promise they could draw on him
personally for that amount. The box
promptly filled with crisp S. notes, and
if the contributors realize the tenfold re-
turn it is probably safe to say that this
church viii not be large enough to hold
the congregation next year.-Chicago
Tribune
Rock Island daily Argus. (Rock Island, Ill.) 1886-1893, 1893-03-11

Some Of the dates given indicate that
he was about thirty; others that he was
nearer sixty. Before he returned to Ire
land he had visions. Among them was
one of man named Victorious, who
brought him letters. In one of these
We're the words, 1.-The Voice of the Irish"
and as he read them he heard a voice
say, 1--WE pray thee, holy youth, to come
and henceforward walk among us"
After this he spent his life in preaching,
baptizing and working miracles, and ac-
complished the practical conversion of
the people of the island. He died at the
age of about 100 years and was buried
at Downpatrick.

The AppOrtionment.

The democratic congressional APP
portionment plan, several times pub
lished was adopted at a caucus of
the democratic members of the house
and senate Wednesday. The bill
was first agreed upon by the demo-
cratic members of the house and SEN
ate congressional apportionment
committee some time ago. but final
action was deferred by the caucus
until yesterday.
The caucus was called to order by
Representative Free p. Morris, the
attendance being light, only about
two-thirds of the democratic men,
bers of the general assembly being
present. A committee waited on
Governor Alegeld, who consented to
address the caucus.
The governor made a short address.
in which he urged upon the demo-
ceats the necessity of prompt action
in redeemfng the pledges made to the
people at the last election. He in
sisted that it was necessary to reap
portion the state, but suggested no
plan. He stated that the APP
portionment should be made in the
interest of democracy. He also recon-
mended that legislation should be en-
acted in regard to the interest on
public funds, suggesting that law
covering all the points be passed, and
that the custodian of public money
Gf loaned OUT should be allowed, as
additional compensation to his sal
ary,25 per cent of the interest on pub
lick funds. 1t was urged by the gov
ernor that wise compulsory school
law be enacted, free from the harsh
features of the Edwards law. In
conclusion he impressed upon the
caucus the necessity of making wise
appropriations.
AT the conclusion of the govern
or's remarks, Senator Coppinger
moved that the congressional plan
reported to the caucus be adopted.
This plan, it is claimed, makes eight
democratic districts outside of Cook
county. Senator Manecke offered as
n substitute a plan which, it was
claimed, did not effect the committee
plan, but added two more democratic
districts.
Representative Fowler offered an
amendment to the substitute that
Saline county be taken from the
Twenty-second district and placed in
the Twenty-tirst district, which was
defeated. The substitute was then
voted down and the original appor-
tionment plan adopted by close
vote. When the vote was taken on
the latter proposition, a number of
members bolted from the room as
sorting that they would not be bound
by the action of the caucus.
1t is asserted that the bill will be
pushed through the senate, the oppo-
sition in this body being light, and
leave the responsibility of finally
passing the bill with the house.
