He W. MED 20 TALK.

From the Detroit Free Press.
In the waiting room. of the For:
street depot the other afternoon there
was man with satchel between his
feet, who was nodding and mapping,
and now and then almost jerking his
hat off as his head bobbed forward or
back. BY and by an old man with a
long goatee and a benign expression Of
countenance went over TO him, and
slapped him on the knee, and said;
Stranger, 1 feel jest like talkin'
with some one. Hev you ever been in
Africa"
Did you hit me on the Lego" de-
manded the sleeper as he reused up.
Yes"
'.WelI, I'll thank you TO keep your

Il jest teched you lightly to wake

L ssON TO CALAMITY.
From The New Yo-t H-raII-

From the New York Herald.
ASouth-bOund train was slowing up
at the One Hundred and Fourth street
/ station and the usual line of would-be
! passengers was scurrying up the stair
way and pushing along toward the -
road platform, just as though there was
not likely to be another south-bound
train in twentyfour hours.
Half OF them, after their breathlesS
rush up the iron stairway, missed the
train after all. For there. directly ii
| front of the ticket sellers win dow,
stood a stout and elderly colored WON
an. Her movements were so impeded
| by the old-fashioned carpet-bag which
| she carried ii one hand and a bird cage
with q piece of newspaper over its top,
which she had just laid down from
the other, that by the time she found
| the requisite nickel the whole line was
! blocked and dozen or more impatien
men gave the old auntie broadside of
sour glances as she finally dropped her
ticket into the glass box and shufied
out upon the platform.
The next train along CHANGED to be
Sixth avenue train. The old auntie
boarded it promptly and took vacant
seat beside afaShionably-dresse young
woman with an interesting face, de-
posting the bird cage in the aisle,
where the later passengers had to step
over it. Then she discovered that she
wanted to go down Ninth avenue and
had taken the wrong train. She was
evidently unused to travel in New
York, and at every stop down to Sixty
sixth street she rose nervously and
asked the impertubs bic gateman:-
please, sab, is dis wha' 1 has to
change keers?"
Don't worry, auntie," spoke up the
fashionab bic young woman beside her in
a kindly voice. I'll tell you where to
get off"
Some Of the business men in the seats
opposite glanced curiously over the tops
Of their newspapers, noted the pretty
face of the young woman and the anx-
ious face of the old one and then went
On reading.
"Fifty-ninth street; change for Ninth
avenue. This train for Sixth avenue"
called the gateman, as the train came
to stop again.
CThen that fashionable young miss did
most graceful act. Come, auntie."
she said, pleasantly, 'I'll help you off
with your things" and Selling the
ancient carpet bag in one daintily-
yloved hand and the bird cage in
the other, she led the way ont
to the platform. followed by the
astonished old auntie, while the row of
morning newspapers in the opposite
seats went down in unison and all the
men stared with surprise.
The pretty stranger did not re-enter
the car. She stood there on the station
platform talking pleasantly and smil-
ing like a ministering angel as the
gateman called: ''Forty-third an
Eighth avenue next" and the train
moved on.

THIRD NATIONAL IRRIGATION CON-
GRESS

CHESS,
By the authority of the National Ex-
ecutive committee the Third National
Irrigation congress is hereby called to
meet in the city of Denver, Colorado, for
the seven days beginning September 8,
1894.
To the people of the western half of
the United States this congress presents
both an urgent duty and supreme op-
portunity.
In this moment of extraordinary DO
HIcal, social and Industrial unrest, the
nation may well recall Macauleys pre-
dlction that the real test of our institu-
tons would come with the exhaustion of
our public domain. The nation faces
that situation today, with all its periiou5
possibilities, unless the arid public lands
are to be made fit for Tie homes of men.
10 suggest the means whereby this NAV
be done, so that idle energies shall find
employment and landless citizens find
homes and industrial independence. is
the duty and the opportunity of western
men.
Irrigation commissions in seventeen
states and territories, created by the last
irrigation congress, will render reports
to the convention at Denver. Upon
these studies of existing conditions and
future needs mall parts of the arid re-
giCn, 1t Is proposed to construct a nation
al policy and code of local laws to be
submitted to the federal congress and the
legislatures of the western states.
BASIS OF REPRESENTATION.
In accordance with a resolution
adopted by the international irrigation
congress at Los Angeles, Cal. October
Il, 1893, tie third national irrigation
congress will lie composed as follows:
l. All members Of the national exec
utive committee.
2. All members of state and territor-
ial irrigation commissions.

mander-in-cnief. The same loyalty ex-
ISIS today, and the same self-sacrifices
would be cheerfull+ made by our adopt
| ed countrymen, 1t would be pleasing to
1 record hat ali foreign born inhabitants
were of this class, but the facts
are that most of the vicious element in
the country Is of foreign birth. They
come from every condition of serfdom
in the old world to enjoy the blessings Of
freedom, but they are no sooner here
than they seek to destroy the very
principles upon which that freedom
rests. In times of social upheaval like
the present, they are frst-and usually
the only ones-to apply the torch. A.
was demonstrated in Chicago las. week,
these thugs and fire fend5 take advan
tage of the factional controversy be-
tween opposing forces by attaching
themselves to one or the other, and be-
gin their work Of destruction. This was
clearly not the purpose of the strike,
though its leaders might have known
that would be the outcome. The mem
berShip of the a. r. I. owed it to
themselves to turn at once upon those
cutthroats with the same violence which
they inflicted upon these who had no
part in the controversy. All good citi-
zens would have recognized that the
union held due respect for law.
But, aside from this, the episode
proves that these alien pirates are con-
gregated in great numbers about our
cities. How to deal with them, or what
policy TO adopt toward them must be
determined, and that soon. With in
creasing numbers they become more
formidable every day. and it is not the
part of wisdom to sit down and await
the slow process of formal arrest and
conviction on individual proof of guilt.
The provisional court set up by General
Miles seemed to meet the emergency last
week. The way to secure permanent re-
lief from this court would be to enter
all such cases on its docket and stick
TO il.
