MIR. PuIlman's Romantic Career.

But serious suggestions have moth
ing to do with an article devoted to
personal chat. Whatever Mr.. Pull
mans faults or virtues as an employer
may have been, the young people of
the country have always looked upon
him as one of the great self-made men
of the century, and have respected him
for making his way in the world in the
face of discouragements and rebuffs.
Known the world over as the inventor
OF the gorgeous sleeping cars which
bear his name, there are but few who
are aware of the fact that he was born
in poverty, and that his education was
limited to bits of knowledge picked up
in tho rural schools of Chautauqua
county, New York. When fourteen
years of age he became clerk in a
country store, and three years later,
learned the cabinet makers trade. At
twenty-five he engaged in the business
of housemoving. In 1853, at the age of
twenty-sevep, he came to Chicago to
pursue the same trade. At this period
of his life, his inventive genius led him
to solve the problem of comfortable
railroad travel at night. He purchased

stories to illustrate his belief that tho
cow is the most intelligent and affec-
tionate of domestic animals. DIR. LOr-
ing told in detail the story OLA birth
of q calf on his farm, at which he had
assisted; and added that after the calf
was born, the COW looked at him with
her big luminous eyes to express her
appreciation as well as she possibly
could, and turning her head to the
doctor, licked his hand.
''Oh, pshawI" said Ben Butler, who
was one of the guests ct the dinner:
''oh, pshaw! DIR. LorIng, the poor cow
merely thought that she had had twins"

On the other hand, Mr.. John NJ. Egan,
who acted as chairman of the general

Both Sides Of the Conflict Led by
Men Of Nerve.
Tho Remarkable Career of George M. Pull
man = John NJ. Egsn's Rise In the
W0rld-Mr. Debs' Success as an
Organizer of Railroad Men.
Especial Chicago letter.

Now that the excitement about the
great railroad boycott has subsidized
somewhat, it may not be Improbable
to familiarize ourselves with the men
who conducted the great and destruc-
tive Industrial battle. Historians as
sert that some of the most despicable
tyrants and many of the coolest gener-
ais were distinguished by lovable
traits. To-day there are thousands
who look upon George NJ. Pullman as q
monster of iniquity and other thou
sands pronounce Eugene v. Debs a
traitor. And yet, when the careers of
the two men are analysed and their
friends given a chance to be heard,
there is much in each to appeal to our
better nature. One was apparently
misled by sense of money power, the
other by determination to right al
legged wrongs by stopping the traffic of
a nation. The outcome of the whole
struggle will be congressional legisla-
ton making arbitration between cap
ital and labor compulsory consum-
nation devoutly to be wished"

FROM THE ISLANDS.

The latest news from the Hawaiian
Islands indicates stormy times for the
Provisional Government. The registration
is closed with but majority of voters on
the list. Only 1S5 natives in Honolulu
have registered. But the surprise is rather
that under existing conditions any should
have registered than that the number
should be small. A native who registers,
ia fact takes his life in his hand. he is
being told every day that the Queen will
be restored to the throne, and he knows
what that means to natives who take the
oath of allegiance to the Provisional Gov
eminent. Mr.. Cleveland's policy Of mys-
rery is not working we'll for the Hawaii
ans. They have no means Of knowing
what he intends to do. Like most people
who have lived in a country ruled by a
monarch they have no idea of the limita-
tions republican form of government i'm
poses upon the head of the Government.
They have been Informed that President
Cleveland considered the restoration Of
the Queen an act of justice, and they won
der why he does not proceed with the
work. When Americans are told that Con-
gress has taken the matter out of the Presi-
dents hands they know what that means,
but the natives of the islands do not. They
cannot conceive of head of a govern
ment who accepts law from the law
making power. Consequently it is not
strange that few natives took the des-
perate chances of swearing fealty to the
Provisional Government.

A BUBBLE PRlCKED.

The Kern County Californian throws
some light upon the statement that a
Chinaman in San Bernardino paid SITS a
year for the use of an acre of ground.
THE CALL asked for particulars and the
Californian has furnished them. Says
that journal
The acre in question is situated In that classi-
cal portion OF the town OF San Bernardino
known as "Squaw Fiat" 1t was not devoted
solely 10 the raising OF vegetables, but on the
contrary variety OF I" moral" or rather very
immoral agriculture was carried on as we'll.
Across one end Of the acre. facing the highway,
a row of novels was erected and these were
rented for large sums 10 the keepers OF opium
dens aud worse resorts, while on the remainder
OF the acre lot vegetables were grown. II the
owner took the land back again 1t must have
been because he desired more OF the profits OF
the Immoral agriculture than had fallen to
his share.
The pricking of this S1Y5 bubble will do
no harm. No sane man expects TO make
S175 an acre on land in a State where land
can be purchased in quantities to suit at
from $50 TO $50 an acre. There are
orchards favorably located which In good
years net from 500 to $500 an acre, but
even orchards do not make that average.
In beet sugar 1t is estimated that the
profits range about $40 per acre. AS bus-
ness goes no man has right to expect a
better return than that. Farmers in the
Eastern States have become independent
on net profit of $5 a year for each acre
under cultivation. The sooner people in

IMPRACTICAL EDUCATION.

There cannot be too much education of q
kind that can be used in the every day
work of life. An educated mechanic is a
better mechanic than one rho knows moth
ing but the use of the tools of his trade
But the education which lifts the average
young man above the kinds of work by
which alone he can earn an honest living
is curse to the young man, his parents
and his country. 1t is law OF nature that
man shall work for his living. The la W
enforces itself. IT a man without means
will not work he becomes vagabond; if a
man has means and prefers not to work he
runs against the law of evolution and has
to take the consequences. 1t is by work
that the world has been put where il is.
Still there are many well-meaning persons
who want to lift mankind out of the rut Of
work. Some want law. statutory or of
custom, limiting work to two hours day.
An estimate has shown that if each adult

tributiOn Of the results of labor is equal.
wa Mt will be brushed from the face of the
earth. But while this reform is being ef-
fected, young people are being educated to
look upon the work that falls to the most
Of them as beneath their capacity. There
Is not work enough for all in the range of
their training. On this point the London
Times speaks in the following incisiye
terms:
We are overcrowded with people who have

whom there is no work. They are spoiled for
what work there is, and they 60 through life

CANADIAN RECIPROCITY.
The Victoria ColoniSt says:

The Victoria ColoniSt says:
II las been made abundantly clear of late
years that there is only one condition on which
the Americans viii extend reciprocity In trade
TO Canadians, and that is that they assimlate
their whole fiscal system 10 that OF the United
States and exclude Great Britain from The trade
privileges which the United States under reci.
prOcity will enjoy. They will not only have to
adopt the United States tariff as their own, but
they must enforce it against the mother coun-
try, as they must against all countries, the
United States alone excepted.
The ColoniSt has summed up the situa-
ton correctly. The United States will
not open its markets to Canada unless
Canada opens its markets to the Uuited
States. Now the United States does not
care to open its markets to the agricultural
products of Canada unless Canada will
open its markets to the manufactured
goods of the United States. This cannot
be done without giving the United States
privileges which are denied TO Great
Britain. a country which needs protec-
tive tariff to keep the goods of another
country out would not cut much of a
figure in competing with country whose
goods are excluded from The markets of a
many Influential Americans add to the
conditions already named the requirement
of political union. This requirement,
which our northern contemporary consid-
ers unreasonable. IS the logical outcome OF
the commercial situation. How else can
we assimilate the fiscal system of Canada
to that of the United States? How else
can we guard against tariff changes in
Canada which would invite to a Canadian
port goods intended for consumption in
the United States? The COLoniSt and all
other Canadian papers may rest assured
that the United States does not propose to
so tie its hands that it cannot change its
tariff rates to suit its own interests. We
would like the Canadian market for our
manufactured goods, but not at toe high a
price. Commercial union between the
United States and Canada is as remote as
commercial union between the United
States and Great Britain.

AN IMPORTANT RULING.

The Secretary OF the Interior has rem
dered an important ruling governing mo-
tions for review of decisions on public
land. There is one even more important
ruling which we trust Mr.. Hoke Smith
will take under consideration. That is
that when the Interior Department gives
title TO lands it shall give the same guar
antee Of title that private owner gives.
1t is very important that the department
give only good titles. as there is no known
means by which person who acquires a
bad title can get redress. No one can sue
the Government, and even General Coxey
is careful not to make war upon IL. Aud
vet it is a fact that the Department of JUS
tice contends that it has no power to de-
fend titles to land issued by the Depart
ment of the Interior. There is at the
present time slumbering in House CON-
mittee resolution requiring the Depart
ment of Justice to defend the titles the
Interior Department has given to lands in
the southern part of this State. The sum-
beripg resolution bears much the appear
ance of actual death. There seems

THE GRAND JURY AND A ROPE.

The connection implied in the above head
ing between the Grand Jury and rope is
not so close as may seem at first glance.
In fact, the idea intended to be conveyed
would be as correctly expressed with 'or''
in the place of "and." To be explicit, the
connection is this: Depositors in the
Peoples home Savings Bank appear to
be divided into tw factions, one urging a
rope as the proper penalty for the tbefts
that have been committed, while the other
appeal to the Grand Jury. If the despoil-
ers of the bank have a voice in the de-
cision they will prefer the Grand Jury.
A majority of the swindled depositors
seem to prefer the rope. The principal
objection to the rope process is that even
the most determined of the depositcrs
would get tired of pulling before justice
would be done. So far as the State is con-
cerned nothing can happen to deepen the
disgrace that the lOoters Of this bank have
Inflicted. In view of the general and noto-
rious pillage that has been going op the
past year. the following discordant note
from an attorney who succeeds the legal
advisers under whose rule the pfllage was
so effective is suggestive:
II the Superior Court has the power and the
right TO paralyze the energies Of one bank for
any period of time without giving hearing TO
those whose property it takes. 1t has the right
TO do the same with another bank.
This is equivalent to saying that if a
citizen may arrest man he sees emerg-
ing from the window of a house
with plunder in plain sight, he may
arrest any other person he may meet.
The attorney in question claims a right
to print his side of the case. Under
ordinary circumstances the claim would
be just. But il is believed that there are
some assets now; what would be the con-
dition of the bank after another statement
no one would presume even to guess.
