A Fifteen Hundred Mile Walk Just Fin
 Ished by One Family.
 Charles Roberts, his wife and three children have just finished a l, 500 mile walk from the interior of Texas to their old home in Delaware county, Ind. Roberts removed to Texas some years ago, but failed there, and things went so badly that last summer there seemed nothing but starvation ahead, so he de- termined to return to his old friends in his old home.
 He had no money to spend in railway fares and decided that the only thing to do was to walk The youngest child is a boy, aged [, and the other two chil- dren, boy and girl, are twins, 12 years old. Roberts says they walked the whole of the distance except about 25 miles They had little money, and the farmers all along their route treated them with great kindness. Parents and children were in good shape physically at the end of their tramp, but showed many evidences of the long walk and exposure in all kinds of weather.

SENATOR MILLS, of Texas, has ln- troduced a bill for the coinage of the seignorage in the Treasury which IS the best bill pertaining to financial affairs that has been introduced at this session of Congress. Senator Mills bill directs the Secretary oi the Treasury to have all the silver in tteT Treasury coined into suosldi- ary coin, and provides that when the revenues of the Government shall be insufficient to meet the current ex- nenses of the Government the Sec retary shall issue non-iaterest bear inp Treasury notes in amounts sutii- cient to cover the deficiency ana nav out the same for the current ex- nenses of the Government; also that when the gold reserve in the Treas ury shall be in excess of $lOO, OOO, ooo and legal tender notes are presented for redemption in coin they shall be redeemed in either gold or silver cain at the discretion of the Secre- tary of the Treasury. The bill also provides that when the gold reserve fund falls below .$1o0, ,OOO,O 900 the Secretary shall redeem the notes in silver. It closes with a declaration for the main tenance of the parity oi the two metals and a provision foi the repeal of all laws authorizinf the issuance Of interest bearing bonds. This is a good bill but I will not receive the indorsement O the silver bull:onaires because Il does not furnish market for an ad ditional ounce of their silver, bu provides only for the coinage of tn silver bullion which now lies idle il the vaults of the Treasury and whicl is the property Of the Government :. The silver bullionaires are more con cerned in finding a market for thei
 silver bullion at double its marke
 price than they are concerne'
 about the financial affairs of tn
 Government.

gcherne to Populate Northern California
 With Poor Farmers.
 A dispatch from San Francisco says that Collis P Huntington is interested in big scheme of colonization on 16S, 900 acres of rich land ill northern Cali fornia. Austin Corbin, it will be re- membered, recently brought over ship load of Italians for settlement on his plantation ill Arkansas. MT. Hunting ton, it is said, will want American clt- izens for his colony.
 The land is now practically untitled, as less than 300 people are on it. The plan is to cut it up into farms of 20 and 40 acres each, one farm for each colo mist.
 Two main features of the plan-the erection of houses and the distribution of any surplus derived from the sales or the property among the purchasers Of the first 10, 900 aeres-were, it is said, particularly insisted upon by MT Hunt inpton. The idea is not to make money for the promoters, but to get settlers for the sparsely inhabited regions of north ern California. It is believed that hun dreds of poor farmers eking out seanty existence on unproductiye and oyerworked New England farms will be glad to start life anew in this country,

no one that we can think OF can ex-
pound more thoroughly TO our satisfac-
tion than can the esteemed pastor OF the
"Round Top"

A CONTRIBUTOR to the letter-writing
column of the Sunday Journal, who
signs himself Independent, wants to
know "why is it that business men Of
Providence do not take an immediate
hand in the coming municipal election?'
The answer is that intelligent citizens, OF
whom business men mostly are, don't
believe in crossing bridges until they
come to item. They will take hand all
right, all right, when the time comes,
but they naturally fail to see any SUBJ
stsntial reason for getting stirred up at
the behest OF those OF their fellow citizens
presenting such crszy-quilt of ideas as
were on exhibition at Infantry Hall, for
instance, OF which gathering the "tax-
payers" and "business men" present
mainly represented only the political
minimum of qualification to pose as such.

years ago we were solemnly assured. over and
over again, by the Very Superior Persons
with whom Wisdom will surely perish. that
there could be no such thing. Tinplate could
not be produced in the United States. 1t was

Some highly interesting conclusions are sug.
gested by the statistics OF strikes coliated In
the report OF the issioner of la Dor. IL will
not escape the attention Of the obseryant reader
that while over two'thirds of the strikes In
the last seven and half years were ordered
by organizations Of employees, less than fifth
OF the iockouts were ordered by organizations
Oh employers The employers seem TO have
had little the best OF the labor contests dur
Ing the period, for, while both sides had the
same percentage of partial success. tho per.
centage OF complete success was higher In the
case OF the lockouts than in the case of strikes
Again, the number Of persons thrown out Of
employment in the case 81 unsuccessful strikes
was more than double the number Of those
affected by strikes which succeeded COM
pletely IL appears that about twice as many
strikes had their origin in refusal TO in.
crease wages as were caused by refusal to
concede to reduction of hours, and about
three times as many were caused by a reduc-
ton OF wages The strikes for this latter cause
were about as numerous ns those having their
origin In sympathetic action Finally the loss
to employees for the whole period covered
was more than double that sustained by the
employers, while the assistance given to
strikers and ths subject of lockouts during
the period amounted to only little over per
cent or the total loss 10 employees These are
facts rejecting on which may be suggestive

KNOWS MORE THAN HE DID.

According to The Journals own report
OF the speech of its own Mr.. BAs-
sETr, at that fatal mass meeting,
"Mr. BAssETr called attention to the fact
that quite recently he saw the men en-
ployed by the highway department tear
ing up granite blocks on Eddy street.
near the City Hall, which had been care
fully put In, and the joints filled with
tar, to put in another pavement. The
city was trying an experiment with
new pavement, but he thought when such
experiments were made il should be done
out of somebody else's pocket, and no.
out of the pockets of the citizens of
Providence. There have been many
things done in the past few years that
have been more than foolish"
Mr. BAssETT has learned something
since hs spoke those unfortunate words.
The NEWS explained the something to
him the next afternoon, and Mr.. BAssEr,r
shut himself up in his telephone box to
ponder over it. There may "have been
many things done In the past few years
that have been more than foolishm- Just
as you say, Mr.. BAssETr. We have no
doubt you have done your share. Very
likely the city government has done its
share, but that Eddy street pavement
wasn't one OF them, as you now know to
your sorrow, Mr.. BAssETr Some folk may
be able to pull the leg OF the city govern
ment, but the Providence Journal can't
do it. Neither can they bulldoze the
city into assessing the taxpayers for the
benefit OF The Journal corporation. or |,
course you know, now, Mr.. BAssErr,
though unfortunately for you you didn't
know IL when you spoke those words,
that the men who are clearing up
granite blocks on Eddy street." beside
The Journal Office "to put in another
pavement" are doing II at the expense
'f The Journal corporation. And you
know now, though you didn't know
when you spoke, that, despite pleadings

Journal, the "city hall ring" declined to
