from the Saxon "feasme" or ~feorme,"
which signifies food or provision; a.

GENTLY paid their rents in victua!s and
other necessarles of lie. Hence farm
was originally u place which supplied
its owner or lord with provisions. The
word 'ferme" is also rench. and farm
is probably so called from its being y
firm or liked possession of the land by
one who labors on it.

RESOLUTION TO BE SUBMITTED
TO THE HOUSE.

Washington, May 2S.-A resolution
will be submitted by Mr.. Raynor, of
Maryland to the house tomorrow
which will recite that the Russian
government has denied admission to
that country of Rabbi Krauskopf, an
eminent Hebrew eccleSiastic of Phil
adelphia, and this action by Russia is
a breach of the treaty which gives
American citizens the right to enter,
sojourn and travel in Russia, the same
as Russian citizens are admitted to
this country.
The resolution directs the state de-
partment to make a demand on Russia
for full observance Of the treaty and
in case of refusal directs the severance
of all treaty relations with Russia.
Mr.. RaynOr says that this case pre-
sents the first issue on the treaty
rights of Americans to enter Russia.
The proposed visit of Krauskopf was
for the purpose Of visiting nine prov
inces within which Russia restricts
Jews and to ameliorate his peoples
condition.

EX-COngressman L. l.. Flood was
made permanent chairman Of the con-
yentiOn
The platform, which was unani-
mOusly adopted, in touching national
finance repeats the declaration of the
former state convention, declaring it
has received the overwhelming APP
prevail of the citizens of the state. 1t
includes expansion of the circulating
medium to $40 per capita; favOrs the
issue of national bank notes to the
par value of bonds deposited to secure
cirGula ton; declares obligations Of the
government should be paid in money
current in all civilized nations; that the
reserve be gradually strengthened; de-
clareS the belief that no legislation
can meet the demand unless it con-
forms with the plank in the last ma
tional republican platform favOring
the maintenance of the parity Of gold
and silver; denOunceS the democratic
party for trying to overthrow the sys-
TEN Of protection to American indus
try, thereby rendering millions idle;
declares the democratic tariff bill sec
tiOnal, aimed against the north in it's
farms and manufactures, vicious in
the change from specific to ad valO-
rem duties, reducing the revenue and
rendering direct taxes necessary to
make up a deficit needlessly caused;
commends the efforts Of the republi-
can members of congress to delay and
defeat the measure; denounces the Sc
lection Of a secretary Of the interior
from the south, with consequent per-
ers; denOunces the democratic foreign
policy in Hawaii and Samoa; de-
mands the enactment Of laws against |
the immigration Of criminals and pau
pers and the denial Of citizenship to /
anarchists. It closes with a denun-
citation of the incompetency of the
democratic party.

Uniontown, Pa, May 24.-The long
threatened attack by the striking min

Tonight four strikers are dead and
double that number are badly wound
ed, some of them mortally. Thomas
henen was the only American killed,
the others being Slavs.
That the deputies fred on the men
absolutely without provocation that
would warrant the use of deadly
weapons, and that some of the kill
ings were particularly cruel and I'M
iustitiable, is without question. Theu,
there is equally abundant testimony to
show that the deputies simply defend

fare Of the party, as we'll as of the
country, that the democratic congress

Problem of the Unemployed.

Minneapolis, May 26.-The problem
Of the unemployed has been taken up
in Minneapolis in earnest. The ways
and means committee of the council
has decided to issue bonds to the

The business men of the city have
agreed to take the whole issue at par.
Thomas Lowery, the street car mag
nate, has donated fifteen acres of high
land in northeast Minneapolis, where

ments are to be undertaken.
