Government Land Still Left.

Why do people starve in cities, asks q
correspondent of the New York Sun,
when within easy reach by rail in both
Arkansas and Missouri are yet thousands
If acres Of government land to be had
:or the settling on them: They are not
The richest lands. the correspondent ad-
mits, yet they are rich enough to raise
milk, butter, vegetables, fruit, chick
ens, pigs and corn" Fuel grows upon the
land. The climate of the hill lands of
Arkansas, where these government lands
are, is one of the most healthful in the
world. The correspondent tells US also
hat If settlers do not wish to take up the
wild lands and subdue them there is
still left between Springfield, Mo-, and
St. Louis an abundance of decided land
which can be bought at from s. so to g.
he acre.
Much of the government land is with
in 100 miles of St. Louis. AS to the fer
tihty Of the soil. one may recall what the
French gardeners say-that the farmer
makes his own soil, and that they could
raise rich crop upon city pavement
in short time. At Harrison, Ark, is a
government land office where entries can
be made.
Colonies might be formed from the re-
spectacle laboring classes of cities and
the unemployed everywhere who would
welcome this opportunity for homes and
independence. If our American poor
had somebody who would do for them
what Baron Hirsch's managers are do
ing for the Russian Hebrew immigrants
IN New Jersey, many such colonies
would soon be fiourishing, and the pie
thora of unemployed workingmen would
| be relieved

Air. Fruit and Sleep.

In these three words are to be found
natures great medicines and hygienic
agencies If person is found who has
kept his youth and mental powers far
beyond the average age, he will always
be, like Gladstone. man who docs his
nine hours sleep" or if not nine hours
then at least eight hours. This genera
longer lived than the one immediately
preceding because it lives more in the
open air, eats more fruit and really
sleeps more than its parents did.
Our grandparents, especially if they
came from the superstitious old countries
of Europe. thought that in some way a
current of air blowing upon them would
poison them. No less dangerous than a
mad dog bite was that dread thing they
called draft" The new school hu-
man being has made himself on such
friendly terms with drafts" as to find
that the quickest and pleasantest way to
cool himself when he is ovrrheated is TO
place himself where the fresh, sweet air
surrounds and envelops him. One will
take cold twice as quickly in room full
of impure air as in one where the wind
blows upon him freely all day long.
We may rejoice that this is a good
fruit year. Every season develops more
and more the magnificent possibilities of
our country in fruit production. This
year for the first time fresh figs have
been shipped across the continent from
California. arriving at the Atlantic coast
in fair state Of preservation. If you
would be happy and live long. make
fruit a large part Of Your diet. especially
| in hot weather.
Waterbury evening Democrat., 1893-07-28

Not every body has thought of the diff
ference between a true democracy and
a representative government. In true
democracy the people themselves gov
ern. They vote on laws and measures
to be passed, and themselves elect such
officers as are necessary. In a repre-
sentative government the people elect
representatives who make, or are sup
posed to make. such laws as are needed
and transact other public business. 1t
will be seen, therefore, that the United
States is representative government,
not a democracy.
The trouble with n representative gov
eminent is that its representatives are
apt to forget the interests of those who
elected them for their own interests and
to represent only themselves. The def
milton Of public Office in the mind of a
practical politician is place created to
give living TO the politician.
The only trace of a really democratic
government among civilized nations to-
day Is to be found in Switzerland in the
two legislative features known as the
initiative and the referendum. In the in
itiative, 50 called, body of private citi-
zens may prepare laws and propose them
for enactment. The referendum Is. how
ever, more important because its adop-
ton has been seriously proposed in other
countries. w. d. McCrackeu mentions
in The Cosmopolitan magazine that it is
survival of the ancient Swiss landsge-
mcinde, where all voters assembled, and,
opening the meeting with solemn prayer,
N few hours had transacted all the
public business necessary for the next
year.
Under the Swiss referendum all laws
of great importance are referred to the
whole body of voters for their rejection
or adoption. Sometimes the voters
themselves. or a body of not less than
80, 900 of them, demand by petition that
a measure shall be thus referred. Again
the legislative body decides that a
law shall be thus referred. Then il
is published, and copies thereof are
distributed among voters. Ninety days
are allowed 10 pass. If in that time
80, 900 voters. or eight cantons, have not
petitioned for popular vote on the bill,
then it becomes law without the pop
ular vote.
What a boon to our country it would
be just now if the silver and tariff ques-
tions could thus be settled on the refer
endum principle by vote of the whole
people! 1t would be a marvellous in
ducement TO voters to study into the
real merits Of both questions.
Waterbury evening Democrat., 1893-07-28

spoke in a low, sorrowful voice, but the
members had become SO quiet that not a
word was inaudible.
After lengthy discussion as to whether
or not Mr.. O'Connor had used the word
Judas" Mr.. Peel said:
Il have arrived at the conclusion that
the opprobrious expression alleged to
have been used was the original cause of
the disorder. I feel certain that the gen.
tleman who used the words did so in the
heat and irritation of the moment If he
were simply to say he regrets having used
them, l am quite certain it would be my
duty to take no further notice of the af-
fair"
MIR. O'COnnor ApoloGized.
Amid Conservative cries of withdrawn
Mr.. O'Connor apologized to the speaker ''it
any words of his had contributed to bring
about this most regrettable state of af-
fairs"
The speaker said the apology was most
ample.
Colonel Saunderson rose as soon as the
cheering subsidized. Despite frequent in
terruptions and shouts of NO" from the
Irish he recouuted eNcitedly how Eugene
Cream, anti-Parnellite. had without provo
cation hit him in the eye
The increasing confusion threatened q
renewal of the riot, when Mr.. Balfour and
Timothy Harrington, Parnellite. rose to-
Gether, Mr.. Balfour yielded the floor and
the Irish became more tranquil.
Mr.. Mcllor then resumed the chair, and
the new clause was adopted by vote OF
Sl2 to pol
As another clause, which had not been
discussed was to he put to "A vote, some
body challenged Mr. Balfour to read it In
an undrrtune Mr. Balfour said, No. no;
don't have it read" The clause was car

What gives promise of supplying the
long felt want of rotary steam engine
has been invented by Mr.. Parsons. an
Englshman. He calls his discovery a
"steam turbine" 1t is probable that the
need of all the complicated machinery
Of compound triple and quadruple ex-
pansion engines, with the attendant diff
Guilty of managing them and the constant
danger of their getting out of order, will
be obviated by this simple device. 1t has
''neither valve. piston, pitman, connect
ing rod nor fywheel," which will make
it a boon TO all establishments where
power is required. 1t can be easily at
tached to a dynamo shaft Of any size
and be made to furnish electrical power
in desired quantity. \ steam turbine
wheel that practically amounts to 70
tary engine is indeed an invention of
which we may well be proud just as we
turn down the leaf upon the nineteenth
century. The small amount of steam
pressure needed for the new turbine is
another feature that will commendir es-
pecially to the manufacturers. Now,
too, that it has been invented, the sim
phcity of the thing is such that the Won
der will be nobody ever thought of it
before.

Reed Relois is hard to please indeed.
BE tried to commit suicide because his
sweetheart would not marry him. Friends
labored with him and brought him back
to life. Then. in order to keep him from
doing it over again, his girl said she
would wed him and did so without de-
lay. But before the honeymoon was
over the ungrateful fellow told friend
that matrimony was not what it was
cracked up to be" and took q dose of
poison on that account. Once more he
was pumped out and set upon his feet.
What he will next try to kill himself for
is uncertain. His last reason was most
frivolous one. Suppose everybody who
discovers that matrimony is mot what
it is cracked up to be" should commit
,uiCide?

SENATOR JONES more than intimates
that the Mckinley bill was passed in
1890 as the result of a trade with the
representatives of the silver interest in
congress. The voting on the Mckinley
bill gives strong presumptive evidence
of the truth of Senator Jones intima-
tions. Nothing has been more common
of late years in congress than arrange
ments by means of which the advocates
of one rascality were enabled to carry
their point by agreeing to swap support
with the advocates of another rascality.

REPORTS come rom Montana that the
drop in silver has given new energy TO
the discovery and development of gold
and copper properties. This is regarded
as decided benefit to the state, since
there is no possibility of an over pro-
duction of gold, while copper is a more
stable product than silver. The Helena
Independent says that the receipts of
gold at the assay Office indicate that the
gold product this year will be at least
81 600, 900 more than last year. Some
excellent strikes have been made in
various parts of the state, and properties
that were abandoned years ago are
again being worked. Silver miners out
of job are now hunting for gold and
location notices have been filed in large
numbers.

THE M'kBBEN CASE.
Maud, the Daughter. Charged with Poi
soning Her Parents.


soning Her Parents
ST. Louis, July 2S.-The coroner decided
that Maud Mckibben, aged II years, was
responsible for the death by poisoning OF
her father and sister. and she will be ar
rested. The case is one of deep mystery,
and in motive. design and trial will sur
pass the famous Borden case.
On June 81 last the Mckibben family
with the exception of Mrs. Mckibben. who
has been separated from her husband for
several years, partook of a family dinner at
the residence of Mrs. Charles Stewart "a
married daughter. ISIS North Twentieth
street Miss Maud assisted in preparing
the meal. and was the only member of the
party who did not eat dinner. Her refusal
was attributed to a severe headache. soon
after the meal the participants became VIC
lently ill No physician, however. was
summoned until late in the evening.
The father died at ST. Luke's hospital
two days later. and Mrs Stewart died on
June - 1t was learned that Maud had
been unsuccessful in an attempt to pro
cure paris green from neiGbbOring drug
store. and this fact. together with the
knowledge that she was jealous OF her sis
tiers and had made threats Of revenge for
being arrested on suspicion OF stealing
money from her father. led to her arrest
At the preliminary examination Maud -
serted her innocence. and was released
pending the coroner's verdict
