A CURIOUS COLONY.
Twenty Thousand People Living in the
Crater OF n Volcano.

Twenty Thousand People Living In the
Crater OF n Volcano.
Thirty miles from the city of Kuma-
moto, Japan, is the volcano Aso San.
This volcano has the largest crater in
the world It is more than thirty miles
In circumference. and peopled by TWEEN
ty thousand inhabitants. Think of walk
ing for miles among fertile farms and
prosperous villages. peering into school
house windows and sacred shrines well
within the shell of an old-time crater
whose walls rise eight hundred feet all
about you. 1t gives one queer feeling.
Hot springs abound everywhere. In
one place saw the brick-red hot water
utilized to turn a rice mill. The inner
crater is nearly half mile in diameter,
and steady column of roaring steam
pours out of it.
The last serious eruption was in 1884,
when immense quantities of black
ashes and dust We're elected and carried
by the wind as far as Kumamoto, where
for three days it was SO dark that arti-
fetal light had to be used. But what
interested me most was to learn that
out of that old-tine crater had come
not only stream of pure water and
many kinds of farm products, utyoung
men, who, seeking a wider school and
home than the mouth of vigorous vol
cano, had found their way to Humane
to, Kyoto and America, and were now
foremost among the Christian ed
ucators and preachers of Japan.
The pulpit orator Osaka, the prin-
cipal of an English school at Kuma,
motto, who is a graduate at And
over, and one of the Doshisha profess
sors at Kyoto, a New Haven graduate,
all came from that valley of death.

No. Princess Of the fiawaii's.
Who dot your lis and call them ee's,
And faint. and call lover,
Can'te xpect Uncle saIa to go away.
Three thousand miles from Columbia,
And hold flag above her.
But in the islands OF the sea.
Where Queens and Princes disagree,
We should not interfere.
In household matters in foreign courts,
From warlike waters in foreign ports.
Our vessels should keep clear.
For Law and Justice only rules,
Where Freedom governs in our schools,
And Law and Order rcigns.
And Peace aud Honor only prevails.
Where ships of Freedom spread their sails
Fen on Old Oceans niairs.
But Stars and Stripes must not be raised
Where Law and Order is not praised.
And lawless deeds abound;
For America, TO rule the world,
Her banners must be first ulfurled,
Where Order first is found.
Yes. Raise tie Flag. and let il fly,
It's dominion-all-be the sky,
Where Law and Justice rules,
Let Liberty, still be our boast,
FROM Atlantic 10 IitciHcs Quasi.
Teach Freedom in our schools.
Yet. let il not be at the cost
OF Justice-though the tempest-tossed,
In Oceans wide domain,
May need our help 10 stay the hand
OF Treason, in foreign land,
Where rulers fail to reign.
United States must rule alone
Where Justice still protects her own;
One Flag that floats them DER;
One Constitution now dominates
Ger Territories. L kes and States
The latter-forty-f
And yet the numbers still increase,
Where Righteousness, and men Of Peace
4 hundrend thousand strong
Ask for admittance TO the ates,
Pluribus Unum, and open gates,
Admission must belong.
Then Forever floats that standard sheet. "
With Freedoms soil beneath or feet,
''Old Glory" streaming DER it.
But do not float il DER the slave,
The ignorant, or the lawless knave;
For Wisdom goes before it.

At this distance it looks like Secretary
Carlisle got the best of the tilt he had
with Wall street over the bond question.
1t is clear that the street wanted to die
tate the character of the bonds and the
terms OF their issue, but the secretary
seemed to think the situation is not such
as to require him to submit to terms that
might compromise the government. 1t

Porpoise Pie.

Three-decl1er porpoise pie is an old
time whaling delicacy. II is made by
spreading the bottom of copper kettle
with duff" Upon this goes layer of
porpoise in chunks, then layer Of duff,
and so on until the name three-decker
is justified, The several strata are then
cooked together. and when the pie is
done it is cot in wedges Each piece is
about a foot thick. and the share o!
each man is obtained by dividing three
hundred and sixty, the number of de-
rrees in circumference, by the number
OF persons on board The quotieut rep

WHARTON, l. T., April 26.
To the Editor OF the Eagle.
| have lived in this country long
time. / have seen the noble red man in
all his majestic beauty chasing the buff
falo and the deer. have seen the COW.
man in all his glory astride Texas
steer. have seen the downfall of the
red man when the white man drove him
into the morass and the fall Of the cow
man w hen he could not live on the grass.
! have seen the cowboy on drunken
spree and thought him quite 4 fool. But
not as big fool as the ncp that made
the laws for the opening of this country.
But, sir, what can't be cured must be
endured. My way is to let her pop. Let
the president declare the land open for
squatters, with 20 days notice; not let
anyone file under four or six months:
make a man an actual settler within
that time. IL he should be away from
it over thirty days another man
can take it: within the time shall have
500 worth OF improvements: after four
OF six months give sixty or ninety days
for filing; the settler shall have two good
witnesses to testify to his improve
ments. | think am safe in saying there
is not one-half of the men that are SO
very anxious 10 file right off that want
any land for home. They want it
merely TO hold few months for specu-
latlon. The six months given will give
parties, If there should be twoor or more
on one claim, to adjust their difficulties:
one could not rush 10 the land office 10
file and the other with his little spade
make hole in the ground, and thereby
make food for the lawyers. They would
talk it over and settle it among them
selves long before. the time to file.
This may conflict with the law so that
it is no good, but | think if i; could be
done it would be the best way.

The SOUND OF a SUNBEAM.
A Wonderful Scientific Fact That Was

Discovered ODly Short Time Ago.
One Of the most wonderful discoveries

shows that these two states could sus-
tain, and well, a population of ten
10 fifteen million people, and the bulk
of them farmers and artisans. Besides
this 100000 square miles of agricul-
tural area. in the western part of
these states we have mining
region that has 10 peer, of fully 10000
square miles, capable of producing
precious metals in the next century to
supply the wants of the world.
A certain New Highlander, when stand
ing on the praires of eastern Colorado
and western Kansas. said: 81 never felt
as if | was out of doors before, and the
whole world seems within nv vision,
and from sunup to shutdown to measure
an empire of domain and possibilities.
It's eastern portion. as cited above, has
possibilities almost unlimited to raise
grain and stock, should it all he put
under cultivation, and the western part,
besides the precious metal wealth, has
veins and mines of iron, coal and Oil,
copper, gypsum, alabaster and stone.
and to these each year are added new
fields, that in their entirety give to
these states a worth unparalleled.

FOR A STATE BANK CIRCULATION

The Democratic national platform OF
June 90 said: 1--WE recommend ii at
the prohibitory 10 per cent. tax on state
bank issues be repealed
The events of the campaign which
followed the adoption of this platform
revealed that the party managers as a
rule did not know what to do with the
plank. The orators of the party ignored
the matter and the Republican charge of
wildcat currency" only brought out
protests of innocence or repentance
from the Democrats.
Now the state legislature of Tennessee
has passed law which has been APP
proved by the governor, and which gives
authority to state banks TO issue notes.
These notes are 10 be redeemable only in
gold or silver, and are TO be secured by
a deposit of bonds of the United States,
Of the state of Tennessee or of the
counties of that state, with the state
authorities. The amount of currency
issuable upon these deposits NAV be 80
per cent Of the value of the bonds In
other words, the state establishes a sys-
tenn similar TO that which the national
government maintains III the national
banking system.
The preamble Of the law says that the
purpose of the enactment is To furnish
"a safe. sound and trustworthy cur
rency, possessing sufficient elasticity to
meet he demands of the manufacturing
farming and business interests and ex-
igencles of the times" OF course such a
law is a dead letter so long as the ma
tlonal tax of 10 per cent remains. But
the real significance of the action of the
Tennessee legislature is that it is taken
tax is likely to be repealed.

OF INTEREST 70 FUSION DEMOCRATS.

OF INTSRESr 10 FUSION DEMOCRATS.
The following from the Atchison
Globe, an independent Democratic paper
with fusion procivlties, will be of in
terest to politicians who think that a
United States senator is greatly to be
envied. The Globe nearly always gives
unprecedented views on political ques-
tons, and its remarks in reference to
Senator Martin are decidedly interesting.
1t says:
James w. Orr returned from Wash
ington. d. c.. this morning, after an alb
sence of two weeks. Mr.. Orr is candi
date for United States district attorney
for Kansas, and he thinks his chances
are as bright as those of any other can
didate. There are nine applicants for
the place. Mr.. Orr says that he would
not have Senator Martins job at $50, 900
year. Mr., Orr did not call on Martin
but he learned tina: life had been made
a burden 10 him. Everybody is mad at
Martin. He promised offices to a lot Of
Populists, but the administration does
not recognize that element, and they
are walking all over him. He also
made promises 10 Democrats which he
is unable to fulfill on account of the row
between the straightouts and fusionists.
When a Kansas man wants anything
now, he generally goes to the president,
or tranSacts business with the depart
ment Martin is not regarded as being
IN it, and ais advice is not sought after.
Mr.. Orr and Colonel Jones went 20 the
fourth assistant postmaster general the
other day and asked to have batch of
postmasters appointed. Their request
was promptly complied with. When
Martin was elected sahator he imagined
that everything would come his way,
ana he feels his disappointment keenly.
