IT seems to be the wish now of the
people of this place that the law au-
thorizing the County Commission
ers to establish county poor farm
be repealed, and petition has been
circulated to that effect in this COM
munity, which was presented yes
terday to the members of the Legis-
lature from this county. 1t is our
opinion that poor farm will, in the
long run, prove money saving in
stitution to the taxpayers of Lyon.
For years the people of the county
have been groaning under the heavy
weight of taxes, great portion of
which has gone toward maintaining
our indigents. Now that start
has been made in what great many
deem to be right direction to econo-
mise in this particular, there are OBJ
jections raised on the ground that
an unsuitable locality is being select
ed. The place that is contemplate
ed for the poor farm is in Mason
Valley. A forty-acre tract has been
contracted for; it has a good water
right, and those who have farmed
in the valley, and who ought to
know, say that the land will produce
good crops ofanything that is plant
ed. When put into good state of
cultivation 40 acres of land ought
to produce nearly all that it will
take to keep the indigents of this
county. The land will cost 81, 900,
and the fitting up and building of
accommodations will probably not
exceed 81, 5000 more. This will
come within the bounds of what the
Commissioners are allowed to ex-
pend-$3,000. The outlay, for a
starter, will be rather heavy, but we
believe it will be saved inside of two
years, if the farm is established.

THE bill for the election of United
States Senators by popular vote has.
passed the National House and goes
to the Senate for action. If adopt
ed the amendments will be voted
on by the States and will unqestion-
ably be ratified. 1t is u great re-
form and ought to be adopted.

WE believe that Assembly bill
80 introduced by Boston was good
one. 1t gave the clerks and sher-
lifts the right to handle the public
ations required by law. They real
ly do this anyway. There is no
special legislation about it, and we
can see no harm in such measure.
The bill should have become law,
but has been defeated in the Senate.

THERE is an irrigation PROPOSE
ton in Smith Valley that will some
day prove big thing for the agri-
cultural sections of this county
There is dry lake between Kinds
Springs and Wellington that covers
an area of ground about ten miles
long and six or seven miles wide,
and which can, it is estimated by
competent surveyors, be filled with
water to a depth of II or Is feet at
an outlay of not to exceed $4,000.
There are millions of gallons of
water running to waste in the
Walker river now every season,
which if stored in this lake would
be sufficient to irrigate every foot of
ground in the lower end of Mason
Valley. There is sufficiency of
water in the upper end of the val
ley, and that section is growing rap
idly, but the Wabuska country
needs water to put its lands under
cultivation. Private capital may
some day take hold of this enter
prise, but a State appropriation
should be made for such purposes.
1t would build up a prosperous
community in the lower part of Ma
son Valley and the taxes upon new
property would soon pay for the ex-
penditnre made by the State.

THE following pathetic story is told Of
Mr.. Gladstone: One evening last week in
the crowded Liberal lobby he began talk
ing with his nearest neighbor concerning
the success Of the government. After 9
few remarks he asked this neighbor for
his name. The member replied: John
Burns, sir.' Mr. Gladstone grasped the
hand OF the celebrated labor agitator, as
he said. pathetically: "My sight is failing.
Often only the contour Of the person and
the tone of his voice enable me to recog-
nize him." The conversation then turned
on the strain to which the session sub
iected the mem ers, and Mr.. Burns re-
marked: "Hard work makes work, but at
the same time makes one love it. )" $50
] have felt" Mr.. Gladstone answered,
''snd may you live many years to put
that principle in practice. We both have
been hard workers" The conversation
was overheard by several mem oere, and
has been repeated in the tone Of pathos
which now characterizes so many of the
Liberals utterances concerning their
aged leader.

but they have persec,1ted ono smother
Roger Williams, the founder Of the RapI-
list church in t ,is country, was perse-
3cuted. as Rev. Hoyt knows. The perse-
c,ltors and firebrantls ia the United
States to-day are Professionals urged o.
against Catholics by sectarian fanatics
falsely calling themselves ministers Of
Christ. Had Burrell, Hoyt and the Hin
doc been muzzled by the Christian En-
deavorers at Montreal, none OF the dele
gates would have been moleeted or inter
fered with. Suppose q convention OF
Catholics had assembled in Toronto, and
that Catholic priests would have used
similar language to that used by these
bigoted ministers in Montreal, there
would have been riot and bloodshed
Rev Hoyt has nothing to say in eKtenua-
ton of Karmarthar's incendiary address.
He says the Objectionable portion OF it
was not spoken at the convention, while
"a. B. Ames, chairman of the press COM
mittee, wrote to La Minerve regretting
that s'the Preese had commented upon
the unfortunate remarks OF S. v. Kar-
marthar, made this morning in the tent"
We doubt if Rev. Hoyt's intolerance will
permit him to tell the truth, and we will
now drop him by saying that he sadly
needs lesson in religious toleration.

merit to his aaenory, The only probable
reason why Lee aron refers to Mr.. O'Don-.
ohue as g young priest is to please 3
Orange readers by rejecting on the alle-
glance Of the venerable Arch bishop.
Tache and the Catholic clergy Of Canada
It is likely that young O. Donohue, as the
secretary Of Louis Rel, entered into cor
reeppndence with the Fenian commander,
Gen. O'Neill, but he never represented
himself as priest or declared that Arch
bishop Tache had granted hin permits
sion to divest himself Of his priestly at
tire and become rebel against the Cana
dian government. There are hundreds yet
living in this state who knew ODonohue
and can certify that Caron is 9 gigantic
falsifier of facts when he mentions him as
"a young priest who had permission
from the Archbishop to participate IN the
half breed rebellion in the Northwest
territory.

In q recent interview Arch bishop Ryan
of Philadelphia, said that he approved OF
President Cleveland's plan of placing
army officers in charge OF the Indian
agencies. as be thought they would ex-
ert better influence over the Indians
than civilians have had in the past. Gen.
Morgan's attempt to make the Indian
schools pon-sectarian had, he said,
yielded results entirely unsatisfactory.
The Indians got no knowledge of Christ
ian truths from their heather parents,
and it was the Governments duty to
have them properly taught in the agency
schools. Glen. Morgan, who ls now act
ing as corresponding secretary of the
Baptist Home Mission, was shown the
Archbishop's intervie " and in reply said
that the Catholic teachers devoted too
much time to teachipg the Indians re-
ligion and not enough to the secular
branches of education. He asserted that
Catholic teachers were inferior, anyway.
Nothing else could be expected from
Morgan and his under-strapper, Dor.
chester, who are two of the most fanat
ical biKots in the country. They would
rather have the Indians remain pagans
than have them receive instruction in
the Christian religion from Catholic
teachers.

A. w. WR1GHT, who has the abbrevi-
ated word "Rsv." prefixed to his cogno-
men, appears to be the chaplain protein
of the Orange firebrands during the alb
sence of Go Lightly Morrill, in Alaska.
The North bestows on him the elongated
title OF "pastor-at-la large of the presby
teries of Minneapolis AID st. Cloud" and
says he is an eloquent and convincing
speaker. Hes may be SO, for aught we
know to the contrary, but if he is, why is
he peripatetic preacher Of sectarian
bigotry who has no fixed habitation or
pastorate Of his own? The city directory
puts him down as missionary" who
rooms in block on Hennepin avenue.
The fact that he has no residence of his
own or no church to preach in would in
dictate that his ecclesiastical standing is.
not very high in this community.

EIGHTY IRISH MEMBERS.

After an acrimonious debate in which
insulting epithets we're freely used, SEC
ton nine of the Home Rule bill relating
to the retention OF the Irish members at
Westminster, passed the House Of Com
mons on last Thursday week by ma
iority of o. Section nine was one of the
parts of the bill upon which the ministry
feared defeat, for several of the radical
members and all the Parnellite members
avored the retention of the present
number of parliamentary represent atives
from Ireland. Mr.. Glsdstone's views on
the Irish representation had change
since the opening of the session. AT
first, he intended that the Irish members
should vote on matters pertaining ex-
clusively to the empire and not On purely
English and Scotch questions. The rad
icals, on the contrary, wanted the Irish
to have the power of voting on Britieh
questions. The Tories, too, we're some
what divided, some favoring the entire
exclusion Of the Irieh members while
others desired their retention. Glad
stone took in the whole situation and
saved the ministry from shipwreck. He
fixed the Irish representation at eighty
members and instead of limiting their
right of voting to imperial questions he
has given them the privilege of voting on
all questions the same as now. OF
course, he has been accused of inconsist-
ency for changing his original program,
but that makes no difference with the
grand old statesman. In 1886 he de-
clared that he would not be party to
setting up legislative body to manage
Irish concerns, al d at the same time to
having Irish members in London acting
and voting on English and Scotch quee-
tlons, but that is precisely what he is
trying to do at present, and he will UNI
doubtedly succeed in that scheme
There is no longer any doubt OF the pass
age of the bill in its entirety, and the
Tories themselves concede it. Lord Sails
bury admits that the bill will pass the
lower house, and he expects it's consider
alton in the upper chamber about the
end of August. The Lords will most prob
ably reject the bill, but it is only ques-
ton of time when these proud Britons
will be brought to terms through terror
of destruction by the exasperated elect
ors OF Grest Nritain and Ireland. There
is an exm5in,y time approaching in the
British islands. The classes and the
MASSES will t,a pitted against each other,
and Tie arissocracy will yield to prevent
reyulutiNn.
