THE WOES OF ICELAND.
Things Seem to He Going from Had to
worse There.

The accounts which have Just
reached Europe from that most dis
trcssful island in the Arctic seas give
us little reason TO hope that anything
can be done to remedy the woes of Ice
land essentially. Like most of the re-
mnindcr of the world, that remote lit
tie country has enjoyed this year an
almost unprecedented wealth of sun
light and heat, says the London Satur-
day Review. The brief Icclnndic sum
mer can have n rare beauty of its own
and that of 1898 has been enchanting.
Steady drought in June, rains in July,
and warm. dry weather again in
August, brought on the hay to great
advantage, and the latest batch of let
tiers spcal; of the harvest us unusually
promising. Almost everywhere along
the coast the fisheries have been eN-
ccllcntly successful. 1t is plain, there
fore. that for once Iceland has had n
chance from the weather, which has
OF late years been its most cruel
enemy.
II n succession of good seasons like
the present had occurred n dozen years
ago Iceland might have been saved.
But especially since the political ayita-
tions of 1855. which disturbed and dis
couraged the population. things have
been going materially from bad to
worse. We are occasionally called
upon to listen To icrcminds about Ice
landic starvation from those whose
sentiment for the Icelandcrs is more
active than their information is exact.
and the English public has become
suspicious of cries of Wolff But the
present season, with its excellent
weather and good supplies Of food, has
not shown any reaction against the
draining away of the people. This
summer no fewer than six hundred
persons cmigra;ed to America, bring
ing the population below that limit of
seventy thousand to which it had al
ready dwindled. The island now con-
tains. IL is believed, fewer inhabitants
than 1t did in 1870, before the tenn
pornry rise in Icclnndic prosperity.
The cmigrnnts are largely OF the farm
laborcr class. and there is n growing
complaint that portions of the country
are going out of cultivation because
there is no one to work on the land.
The great geyscr has been very
sluggish this year. and it is believed
that weather which is excellent for
crops acts in deplorable way upon
this class of phenomena. 1t is by her
extraordinary sights and by the visit
ors drawn to see them that Iceland
must hope to live.

Do you ever notice how few patches

clothing is so much cheaper now than
II used to be, that it is not worth while
pulling old garments together. When
they nrc worn out, they go into the rag

MEXICAN TRAIN ROBBERS.
Dias "Bet Thief to Catch y Thief'' and
Soon Got Rid of Them.

D88 "bet Intet TO Satcn . InleI' ana
Soon Got Rid of Them.
Apropos of the recent train robberies
in this country, q western railroad
man suggests to the New Orlean.
Times-Democrat that we should adopt
the Mexican plan of dealing with
them, which proved SO effective there.
Mexico offers great advantage over
this country for train robbing. 1t is
thinly settled; the land is cut up with
mountains, Offering hiding places for
the robbers and q safe retreat; its peo-
pie are not SO advanced in civilization
as ours, and there is much larger
dangerous element, ex-bandits and
revolutionists, to whom train robbing
would come as q natural trade. The
railroads, moreover, are a new institu-
ton, and it was natural to suppose
that train robberies would be numer-
Gus. During the first extension of our
railroad system into Mexico they were
so frequent that passenger thought
himself lucky to get from the Rio
Grande to Mexico without several
stoppages from these '.knights of the
road" Detectives, bloodhounds and
other means of suppressing the evil
were urea. Out Win uttle nOTe
success than in this country, when
President Diaz, on the old theory of
''set thief to catch thief" hit upon
the happy idea of utilizing the bandits
and railroad robbers to protect the
roads by organizing them into police
force known Us the rurales. or rural
guards. He had some of the men who
were suspected Of this business sum-
moned before him and offered them an
opportunity of entering the govern
ment service as mounted police, and
told them that IL they did so he would
furnish them with fine uniforms, i'm
proved firearms and the best horses
that could be bought, but il they did
not he would have the soldiers hunt
them down. They knew that Diaz
was a man of his word. and they en-
tered the government service, and.
being darcdevils. as far as courage is
concerned, and thoroughly acquainted
with the ways and methods OF the
train robbers, to whom they showed no
mercy, they very soon suppressed these
robberies. When train was held up
the rurales. who knew every noun
tain recess, never stopped until they
had hunted down the Inst robber. The
plan worked splendidly, and there IS
to-day less interruption to railroads Ia
Mexico than in this country, although
the chances for robbery are so much
better there.
