in calamity which always has and al
ways will fall on the people least able to
bear it.
81 do not believe that the recent dis
turbances in the West are anything
more than the ordinary ebulition of
mobs, and an exhibition of the tyranni-
cal power which unions give their chiefs
and which the latter sometimes exert to
the great damage of all concerned.
GROWS SAD WITH STRAY THOUGHTS.
Gas said at Squantum, there is no
need of anyone to despair. This is a
great country, and its greatness will en-
able it to triumph over all obstacles,
however serious they may seem. Let
our young men do right and vote right
and the country will never be in dan
ger"
There was a certain serious sadness i'll
the manner of the able veteran of poll
tics and government, and he gazed at
me as though he was seeing through me
and all other material things, far out in
to the future, and was contemplating
the coming glories of our codntry,
which are only to be reached through
painful experience, and which he evi-
IDENTIFY felt that he was not to see in the
full beauty of their fruition, although he
has done so much to bring them about,
Quietly we took our departure and
never shall l forget the kindliness and
warmth with which he bade us good

been time in the worlds history when

A HINT TO ENGLAND.
Cape Colony Might Initiate the
American Revolutionists.
PREMIER RHODES And His POLICY.
A Number of Persons Frozen to
Death in Paris.
VARIOUS FOREIGN MATTERS.

LONDON, Jan. 4.-The St. James Ca
zette, under the caption, "a Straight Tip
From Rhodes" comments today upon the
speech made by Mr.. Cecil Rhodes, premier
Of Cape Colony and chairman of the British
South Africa Company, in reply to the ad-
dress presented to him upon his arrival
yesterday at Cape Town from Buluwayo.
The paper declares that it would be in
judicious to ignore the language used by
Mr. Rhodes He does not intend that the
colonial Office shall claim the spoils of his
hard-earned victory over the Matabeles.
His position is a strong one, and he can
rely upon influential support in England,
and he has the whole of South Africa at
his back. II he considers 1t necessary to
vindicate the interests OF Cape Colony
against Great Britain the colonists of all
nationalities will follow him with enthusi-
asm. There will be an Afrikander party.
led by an Englishman, all the members Of
which will be animated by a common re-
solve. Perhaps the loss Of the Cnited
States of South Africa will not come as
quickly as Mr.. Rhodes imagined" but the
paper adds that 1t sees a distinct step to-
ward separation from Great Britain.
How would the Marquis of Ripon secre-
tary of state for the colonies, feel 1t asks
''if the Capes government should place an
embargo on British immigration and pass
a measure similar to the American Nc
Kinley bill against British imports?"

1t In Thought That 10 Per Cent Will
he Returned.
NEW YORK, Jan. A Chicago special
says: A small dividend on worlds fair
stock will probably be paid about the mid
die of the month The finance committee
Of the board of directors held a meeting
in President Higinbothams office yester-
day to decide upon the time and the amount.
When Marshall Field announced that he
would give $1,OOO,OOO in cash to the Column
bian Museum If the stockholders in the
worlds fair would give $2.UOO.0OO of their
holdings, it was known that he made the
proviso to get another endowment to the
museum. 1t was known that the EXPOSE
ton stock will yield dividend of at least
10 per cent. There has now been subscribed
to the museum little over 100000 shares
OF fair stock or nearly $1GO,OW. Nearly
a million more must be donated before Mr..
Field can be called upon for his splendid
gift.
To declare dividend seems a trihe pc
culiar even to some of the directors. What
1t may be on further donations is uncer-
tain. 1t may tend to increase them after
the dividend has been paid or again it may
have the opposite influence. OF course the
museum will get the dividends on stock
already transferred. the finance commit
tee decided to put off the day for distribut-
ing the surplus until Auditor Darlington
report for December comes out. They will
then order dividend of perhaps per
cent.

In the matter, the governor says:
This organization is one which ought N

would deprive men of citizenship for con-
science sake must be condemned as out

This association appears to be a rival of
the old know-nothing movement, by which
years ago few fanatics sought to ann oy

take the aged culprit TO the station house.
Mrs Nolan told who she was and sent for
her relatives in Jersey.
