SOD HOUSES OF KANSAS.
They Served Good Purpose, But Few
Are Left.

The sod house of the Kansas and
Nebraska plains is following the buffalo
and antelope into the land of legends. y
said William F. Arbuckle, of Topeka,
yesterday to a group of acquain tances at
the Arlington. GA good many of the
queer structures are still standing. and
in some instances are yet used as huma
habitations, but most of them are utii-
lied as stables for horses or cattle and
slowly crum bling away to become in
distinguishable in their original EARTH
When I first went West years ago my
father took up the acres as far as his eye
could reach in what is now Eastern Ne
braska There was not tree in sight of
the knoll he mad selected as the spot
upon which his residence should be
erected, and the nearest place lumber
could be secured was sixty miles away.
He put up small tent IN which to
cook and eat; the family slept in the
wagons, and with my brothers and
hired man to help, set about making a
house.
THE thick sod was cut from the prai-
RE in slabs about two feet wide by three
in length and on the side of the knoll,
where ain excavation had been made in
its side these slabs were placed one on
top of the other until the required height
was reached. 1t was arduous work, and
| remember what lot Of excitemenb
there was when my father and my broth
er Lem started off early one morning to
go after the ridge pole and rafters that
were to support the roof. They took
only the running gear of our small wag
on, and ] cried like good fellow when
tbou etc nFr hnacJaa T thnI1nhE thou
had broken up my pet vehicle.
They were gone nearly Al week and
reached home in thee middle OF one
night after their journey of 100 miles.
They had brought long, round piece
of timber, Ii Ike slender telegraph pole,
with numerous other smaller pieces,
and my mother nearly had fit of de-
light when they proudly displayed door
and two window sashes, with bundle
of glass for the latter There was great
rejoicing when the ridge pole was put
in place and the rafters run down from
it to rest on the sod walls, and then
came the laborious task of putting on
the sod roof SO that it would keep out
the rain and snow.
"At last it was completed and we
| moved The place had four rooms, which
was unusual for such structures, and
its two windows soon made it known all
over that section OF the West as the
! Shack with the Glass Eyes There never
was more comfortab BILE building erected
| than a sod house.
They are not all damp, as one would
suppose, and are warm as you could de-
sire in winter, while in summer they are
the most delie htfully cool places imagin-
| able. But they are rapidly disappearing
now and when you see one you are sure
to find near it modern cottage with
it's wind mill just as you do out at our
place. Washington Post.

The Argus alleges that protection
has been persistent blight on our
manufactures, our agriculture and our
commerce" Then why doesn't the Demo-
cratic Congress abolish it? Why are pro-
tective duties retained on manufactures
in the Wilson bill, if protection blights
manufactures? Why does Prof. Wilson OPP
pose the placing of steel rails on the free
list if the steel rail manufacture is
bighued by protection? If protection
blights, why is the Hon. Mr.. Bass and a
lot of other Democrats in the eastern
part of this State laboring for the reten-
ton of the duty on lumber? Are all
these Democrats anxious TO blight he
country's industries? If the Argus is
right that would seem to be an inevita-
Bile conclusion from their action.

PEIxOTo AND MELLO.
An Unbiased Judgment of the Men and
Their Present Quarrel.

The causes of the revolt which broke
out in the Brazilian navy on September
6, 1898, may be grouped under two heads
Personal enmities and profound dis
satisfaction with the government. I am
far from being an admirer of the insur-
gent chief. Custodio Jose de Mello for
believe that his vanity, ambition and
taste for intrigue will be constant
source of trouble unless they can be held
in check. Unfortunately these same
traits of character except, perhaps, that
of vanity, are also possessed by his OPP
ponent, Vice President Floriano Peixoto,
together with others even more danger
Gus. The two men are bitter personal
enemies, although working harmonious
~ together in the same administration
from November, 1891, to April 1898, and
the choice between them is that of the
least of the two evils.
have been brought into contact with
men of every class, and I know that the
feeling against Florlano Peixoto is sim
ply all-pervading. | am convinced that
the sympathies OF theslower classes are
with the revolt. With the upper classes
the conditions are more complex and
difficult to classify, but in the main the
present government Among professional
men, particularly of the INSTRUMENTATION
| the sentiment is also largely i'll favor of
| the revolution, although not few fear
| that Custodio's ambition is not the sure
refuge against Floriano's tyranny they
are seeking. Without entering into
reasons just here, it may be affirmed that
a profound dissatisfaction with the gov
ernment of Floriano Peixoto exists in
| the capital and nearly all the principal
| states of the union. 1t is unorganized
however. andsshas mo means of making
itself felt. The vice president is so
watchful and relentless, and as lie keeps
| his battaIions well in hand the speople
are extremely afraid of him. AS to the
| future, it is impossible to predict what
will happen. We're Peixoto to succeed
| in suppressing the revolt in this harbor,
| the revolution in Rio Grande and Santa
Catharina will continue. and another
rising in. this capital will inevitably oc-
cur Before another year isssat an end. II
| Custodio is successful the prospects of a
| general pacifcation are much better,
| for heshas committed himself to the pro-
gramme of withdrawing military officers
| from politics and leaving the admins
! tt alton of the government to civilians.
Danger is TO be apprehended, however,
| from his ambitious temperament, and
| from the exigencies of his officers, who
may insist upon the retention of power
have made. The only feasible recourse,
in my opinion, is to be found a COM
promise, by which both leaders and theil
| followers shall voluntarily withdraw all
pretensions to the control of the govern
ment and leave it wholly and uncon.
ditionally in the hands of civilians. Rio
| Janeiro Corr n. Y. Tribune.

According to the Argus protection has
turned our manufacturing centres into
soup kitchens. 1t is little curious, how
ever, that the metamorpohsis did not
come until the Democrats got into power
and began to threaten to abolish it. 1t
is very strange that the disastrous effects
of protection were never apparent until
it was announced that the country was
about to be relieved of it. IT man is
afflicted with wasting disease we
should not expect it's disastrous effects
to become apparent only when it was
announced to him that he was to be re-
Iieved of it. With cure near at hand
we should expect the man to begin to
pic1.- up. But just when the country is
ABOUT to be relieved from the protective
policy with which it has been afflicted
for thirty years, it becomes very sick
indeed. 1t is curious phenomenon, this
growing sicker when relief is near at
hand.

The Presidents veto of the New York
and New Jersey bridge bill seems to be
generally interpreted in New York as
done in retaliation for Hills defeat of
Horn blower. The New York Times saws
the veto is reactionary and destructive, n
and the Herald says Congress should pass
the bill over his veto. Both these papers
have been in the habit of supporting
the President. If the President keeps
on his administration will come to be
known as the spite" administration.
The Hawaiian policy was undou btedly
conceived in spite against Harrison, and
now apparently spite" has prompted the
veto Of great enterprise that was likely
to be Of incalculable benefit to the me-
tropoiis Of the country. The cuckoo
newspapers support the veto of course,
one of them alleging that Mr.. Cleveland
is utterly incapable Of acting from any
thing but worthy motives. Such child
ike faith is very touching.

MIR. Wheeler HI. Peckham, whom the
PRESIDENT has nominated for Judge of the
Supreme Court, is brother of Judge
Rufus w. Peckham, of the New York
Court of Appeals. He is an anti-snap-
per and took prominent part in the OPP
position to Judge Maynard. His politi-
al affiliations will be no more acceptable
10 Hill probably than were Hornblower's
but as there can be no doubt of his quail
lfioations for the bench, Hill viii proba-
bly, not be able to defeat him. for many
of the Senators who voted against Horn
blower did so on the ground that there
was doubt as to his fitness for the bench.

Some of the "cuckoon' congressman
are making great ado over what they
call President Dole's impertinent and
insulting letter to Minister Willis. That
letter simply recited certain facts that
were patent to everybody, and that indi-
the existing government in Hawaii, and
then demanded to know what the exact
nature of those designs were and to what
extent he was authorized to carry them.
Instead Of being impertinent it was ex-
ceedingly pertinent. Instead of being
and conciliatory language. Suppose the
British minister to this country had
been brandishing about Washington for a
month armed with an argument emanat-
ing from the British foreign Office and
endorsed by the prime minister in favor
here and setting up some other, what
would our President and Secretary of
State be likely to do about it? Would
they tolerate the presence of that minister
for day after his purpose became
known? Certainly not. They would
drive him off as Cleveland and Bayard
drove Sackville-West off for advising a
naturalized Englishman how to vote in
an impending Presidential election There
would be very much less courtesy
shown him than has been extended to
Minister Willis by President Dole Now
nc off 0f foo f boe
right to be at Honolulu intriguing for
the overthrow of the Provisional govern
ment than the British minister would
have to be in Washington plotting
against our government, and he never
would have been there if the Provisional
government had been a strong one. But
being a weak affair Cleveland and
Gresham thought they could bulldoze
it into compliance with their wishes and
Willis was sent there with that end in
view. Backed by American sentiment
President Dole has been able to defeat
the Vaccinations OF the administration
and it's agent, and the Cleveland BULLDOG
ing scheme has come to naught. Backed
by this same sentiment the Provisional
government has been able to maintain its
dignity and administer to Cleveland lust
| rebuke for his intermeddling. The great
majority of the American people, in
stead of disappearing President Dole's
letter, heartily approve of it. They were
not concerned in the attempt to coerce
Hawaii. 1t was purely personal affair
on the part of Cleveland and Gresham,
which the people did not sympathize with
or approve Of. They are glad that it failed
| and they are glad that the Provisional
government has had sufficient pluck and
spirit to bring the originators of it up
with round turn. If they feel any re-
greet at all, it is because President Dole
did not notify Willis that his absence
from the island would be more agreeable
than his presence. If the cuckoo con.
gressmen expect to rouse Indignation in
this country over what they call the in
suit to the President they are doomed tc
| disappointment. The cuckoos had better
| stick to the policy of silence.

The new International Boat.

The new steamer to be built at Bath for
the International Company will be an en-
larged Manhattan, a propeller of rising two
thousand tons. Her length will be 262 feet,
breadth 40 feet and depth rs feet. She will
have a frame of selected oak, belted and
diagonally strapped with iron, to give the
greater rigidity to the hull. Her engine
will be triple expansion of little larger
size than that of the Manhattan and, while
the boat is lot designed for speed, it will
send her along at a Is knot gait.
This boat will have the popular dome
skylight and be finished throughout much
the same as the other boats of this line.
Work will begin as soon as the material can
be secured and the craft will be ready to go
on the line early next fall. The fact that
the triple pansion engines of the Bath
Iron Works. have made such perfect records,
is fact that may be considered by the
International company. The boat will ply
between Boston. Portland and points
east.
1t was supposed that the contract for the
steamers engines was as certain for the
Bath Iron Works as that of the hull for the
New England Company, but the matter has
been reopened and the decision is still in
allegiance. It is considered tina the chances
of the Bath Iron Works securing the job are
excellent but, as has been said, their sue
cess is notsyet assured
