A NEW REvEEUE MEASURE,

It the next congress is at a LOSE for
means to increase the of the
national government, there might be en-
acted a measure whereby bankrupt Eng
lish, French and other noblemen could
be made to contribute to the relief of
the present rather emaciated financial
condition. Let each h~eiress-hunter oe
licensed at a stated sum, upon his arrival
on this side of the water, the payment
Of the license to permit him to engage
in the business of fortune-hunting in any
state in the union, and the amount paid
to revert at once to the national treasury.
Nothing but gold should be accepted in
payment, and the license should contain
a provision that in case of the success of
the fortune-huntiag expedition, the
lucky nobleman should make a further
payment of 10 per cent of the dowry of
his bride into the treasury, ere the mar
riage could be legally solemnized. This
would put the stalking OF American
heiresses by Impoverished European no.
bility upon it's proper basis as a dis
tlnctly mercantile transaction, and would
swell the national gold reserve without
the issuance of SO many bonds. It would
be a sort of game law, to prevent Euro
pean hunters from bagging our most
valuable game without making some re-
compense.
Take the Vanderbilt Marlborough
ase: The duke might have been taxed
100000 for the privilege of entering into
the heiress- stalking business. Then he
would have to pay 10 per cent of the
S~lO,OO0,0N0 which his bride will bring
him, OF %s1,0O0,00O, and the national
treasury would have S l,5O0,OO0 in gold to
the good, where now it has nothing but
a gnawing pain at the stomach. OF
course, 100000 would have been a good
deal for the duke to put up, and take
chances Of making a successful bag.
But the game should be worth the
candle, and even had he been forced to
pay the.tax, he would now have So, sc 900
in velvet, as it were, over and above all
tolls and excuses.
The trouble now is that our interna-
tional game laws are too lax. Bankrupt
mobility is allowed to shy it's bent
coronets and frayed out velvet into the
matrimonial ring, and walk off with in
Vulnerable hard American dollars, with
out any recompense whatever. Let us
place a reasonable tariff on these money
grabbers.

provement, or which would effect any
radical improvement in the element of

provement, or which would effect any
radical improvement in the element of
fenininity. The gruesome and revolving
details of murder could not contribute
in any great degree to the equality of
woman's social status" The privilege
of listening to the particulars of some
disgusting crime, as a juror, will hardly
be asked by the majority of woman-
kind, as a recompense for allowing her
sex to be tried by jury. It is doubtful
if the too.sympathetic nature of women,
as a class, would contribute to the exact
administration of justice, we're they to
sit as jurors, and render verdicts accord
ing to the evidence.
So the TRIBUNE would suggest to
Mrs. Bennett, that she leave the system
as it is, and that she do not try to break
through the legal bars which have been
erected to keep her sex out of the jury
box. The arguments she advances are
superficial, and her position in the mat
ter inical. For, if she will stop to con-
slider, there is q higher and nobler court
in which her sex is fitted, not only to sit
as jurors, but to preside as judges-the
court of the home. And If she will pre-
side over that court with the irmnese,and
%gentleness, and dignity, and loving kind
ness: which should characterize her, and
if she will lay down and interpret moral
laws,ahd regulations, and obligations and
duties with that clearess which the con-
science of true motherhood should
dictate, there will come to be fewer cases
for the consideration of %juries, and the
results of her influence will be far more
lasting and beneficial than if manifested
in the "advanced' lines suggested in the
plea for "woman's social and political
equality.

lime doesn't appear to have softened
the feelings of the American Railway
Union. At Devils Lake the other dav,
a message of coincidence was forwarded
to the uncrowned king, Debs, Astounding
in such statements as "rotten admins
tration," Corrupt and servile tools of
corporations" and more in the same
strain. The union appears ignorant of
the fact that Debs and Howard allege
that Mayor Hopkins advised them to
strike, and tie things up. IF the strike
leaders are immaculate, and have done
nothing for which they should be pun.
ished. why should they seek to lay the
blame on Mayor Hopkins. If the tie-up
was so creditable an act as the union ap-
pears to think, why should they not
wish to retain the glory themselves?
The truth is that the union has a too
exalted opinion of it's leader, who is at
best as fallible as the rest of humanity.
and who was for a time imbued with the
idea that the United States was divided
into two parts one, OF which was:Debs,
and theo other the rest Of populace, and,
in faith, he felt a little the larger of the
two.

A WATER FAMINE.

The report has been sent out from Diff
ferent parts of the state that there is
danger of a water famine in the zeal
future. It Is stated with due solemnity
that lakes are drying up, and streams
which we're formerly merrill splash
ing torrents are now naught but
tiny, shame-faced rivulets, trickling
sadly along between banks which
are several sizes too large for
for them. The acute horror OF the situa-
ton, when the state shall have run out
of fresh water, or when the fresh water
shall have run out of the state, is wildly
pictured by these cheerful seers OF evil.
What. admitting that the situation is
as narrowing as it is painted, do these
prophets Of permanent drouth intend to
do about it? If the fresh water supply
is to pack up it's belongings and n owe
out of the state, it is only fair that those
who have been studying the situation
should disclose to us a path out of the
wilderness. Shall we line the beds of
our lakes and rivers with a waterproof
gum, and board up the outlets, or would
it be better to store up a few million
barrels of fresh water, and salt it down
for use, in a time when the dreaded
drowth shall have come and settled with
US? Is there any inducement which can
be thrown out to cause the water supply
to change its mind, or must we sit lstil
and dry up, gradually, until we shall be

MI. 81. HAYWARD Of Minneapolis, is
again prominently before the public as
the hero of a b~lood-curdling and alto
gether hair-raising drama, entitled, '.The
Wilds of Africa, or The Plot That Failed"
The principal flaw in the "bold, brilliant
and daring plan to escape.' to use the
phraseology of the Minneapolis news
papers, was that it wouldn't work. and
wasn't put into execution. 1t was a trivial
thing, but it prevented the success of
the scheme, although it did not prevent
several very hair raising columns of
matter in the journals of the Flour City.

Harrison's administration, and under
Mckinley law protection was 600 pounds,
the value of which was 60 cents per

Giving credit for cheaper clothing, the
net average loss on wool and sheep by

same is true Of the North Dakota wool
grower, whose loss through free wool has
been far more than gain through slightly
cheaper manufactured wool.

The depletion of the treasury gold
reserve, under the present system, is not
by any means an intricate operation.
Two or more million of dollars of gold
Withdrawn from the United States sub.
treasury, and put aboard steamers for
shipment to Europe in one day sounds
like a pretty big undertaking to persons
outside of Wall street, yet it is but a few
hours labor to the men who make hand
ling gold their business, and the whole
transaction is a very simple one. When
a banker,'o or coffee merchant, or who
ever it may be, determines to send gold
abroad to meet his obligations, instead
OF buying bills of exchange, he accum-
lates the amount he intends to shin in
currency in the form of greenbacks,
treasury notes, or gold certificates, and
presents them at the sub-treasury. The
government is bound to maintain it's
credit, much as it may dislike to see the
gold go, and the treasury officials turn
the equivalent of the currency presented
in gold coin at short notice. When the
gold is handed to the shipper all govern
ment responsibility ceases. The yellow
metal is put in canvas bags and carted
to a cooper, whose specially ie making

weighs 226 pounds and Is securely sealed.
1t is then ready for the truckman, who
takes 1t to the steamer, and the gold
reserve has fallen another notch. to be

ton, with the proceeds of bond sales.

JAMESTOWN people are becoming inter
ested in irrigation by artesian wells. A
party of them have gone to Hunter, S.

putting down of an experimental we'll on
a farm near jamestown. Should the
experiment prove q success,it means the
putting down of other wells, and a good

MIR. HARD1E Is RIGHT,


The Central Labor Union at Omaha,
in evidence of a wisdom which it is re.
GREETED is not more often displayed, re.
fused to recognize Keir Hardie, the Eng
lish ~blatherskite, upon his recent arrival
there. AS a result of this, Mr.. Hardie
spoke to IN audience of about forty per-
sons, and took up a collection which ag.
gregated $3.50: exclusive of brass checks
and pants buttons. In tue course of
his remarks, Mr.. Hardie said he could
see that the American people were about
to rise up and do something naughty, if
conditions were not changed. How he
discovered this intention on the part of
the people, Mr.. Hardie did not say.
Perhaps General Coxey told him about
it, in connection with a history of that
evaneseent army which failed to flourish
a year or so ago. But at any rate, Mr..
Hardie appeared to have become quite
familiar with the intentions of the .peo-
pie, and proclaimed them to his auditors.
In a way, Mr.. Hardie's prediction is
accurate. But the people will not rise
up for the purpose of owe throwing the
government, and rebuilding another, as
he would have us believe. If they rise
up at all, it will be to take Mr.. Hardie
firmly and resolutely by the seat of his
checked trousers and the collar of HE
tweed coat, and give him a healthy i'm
petus toward the land of his birth, with
an invitation to remain there after his
arrival. That is the kind of an uprising
Mr.. Hardie will discover to have taken
place, should he fail to read the signs of
the times, and betake himself back
whence he came.
MIR. Hardie's great love fer the work.
ingman is easily measured in dollars and
cents. When the collection is swollen
by liberal contribute from his hearers,
and the treasury gives sign of inaat> on,
his sympathy for the workingman boils
over and bubbles out noisily from be-
tween his lips. But when the worn1ng-
mar ls unresponsive in the matter of
fattening Mr.. Hardie's purse, his sym.
pathy ge's cold and thick, and drips out
slowly and. with difficulty, like stiff mo-
Iasses.
The fact is, Hardie has make a tour
OF the country, been nicely entertained at
nearly all points along the route, and
his expenses have been paid by the
American workingmen in description of
whose great distress he has been so law
lsh of words. When he feels as though
another American trip would be pleasant,
the same rigmarole will be gone over
again, and the same old confidence gane
played on the ~workingman.
Another foreign bowler, this time a
female, Louise Michel, is preparing now

and tear her hair with the same old ges-
lures. This makes about a dozen for
ejgn demagogues who have been feted
in America this year. And they will
continue to come and feast off the cred
ulity of the masses in this country as
long as the occupation is as remunerative
as now.

AS Will be seen the Presbyterian count
more followers among the governors
than any other one denomination. Most
OF those belonging to this denomination
are found in southern states. The Con.
gregational governors are nearly all New
Englanders. The only governor who
"has no religion" is Budd of California,
who is a free thinker, having been
brought up thus by his parents. The
only other n of the sixteen "unat.
tached' governors who distinctly
disavows the orthodox plan of
salvation is a Universalist in sympathies.
Mr.. Culberson of Texas refuses to state
his religious creed, as does also Cover.
nor Evans of South Carolina. All the
rest have a leaning, more or less pro-
nounced, toward some protestant denom-
ination, and only four governors fail to
attend church at least internationally.
Governor Altgeld is one of the unat.
tached sixteen, with scarcely p%erceptible
leaninRs toward the Methodists. Gov
ernor Matthews of Indiana is not a mem
Der of any denomination, but has pro.
nounced preferences for the Presby.
~terians, and the same is the case with
Governor Jackson of Iowa. Governor
Mckinley is a militant Methodist of the
conservative pattern. Governor Morrill,
OF Kansas is q Unitarian, as is Governor
Greenhalge of Massachusetts. Governor
Rich of Michigan troubles himself little
about churches; ditto Governor Clouph
OF Minnesota. Upham OF Wisconsin is a
Presbyterian and Morton of New York
is a Jealous Episcopalian. It will be
noticed that among the governors there
are no atheists and no Catholics. It is
a peculiar fact, also, that nearly all of
the governors of avowed UNCONVENTIONAL
choice belong to the same churches in
which their wives happento be interested
although whether this is co.incidental. or
a result of wifely influence can not be
stated.
