Latham Enrnges the Cincfnnatians,

'Arlie' Latham, the well-known third
baseman of the Cincinnati club, has been
guilty of the capital crime of asking for a
larger salary than the management is will
ing to give, and threatens in case his de-
mand is refused to exercise his right as
free-born American not to play ball. Such
temerity has excited the profoundest rage
among Cincinnati base ball cranks, who
recognize no right of player to ask for
larger salary than is offered him, and the
denunciation is general Cincinnati spe-
cial says: Captain Ewing is certainly dis
pleased, and If Gray holds up his end 1t is
asked to earn his salary by using his voice

ROMANCE IN ALASKA.

juneau, Alaska, has q Russian TO-
nance, or what it fully expects will de-
velop into a romance, and it is almost
as interesting a subject for discussion as
the new goldfelds. When Count de
Lanceu, a young Russian, visited juneau
eight years ago, he was % years old,
and he followed the example Of other
visitors before him. He took an Alaskan
maiden as his housekeeper. She was at
tractive i'll features and affectionate in
disposition. A girl, named Lucy, was
born to them, and the young count was
devoted to her. He was satisfied with
his housekeeper and very fond of his lit
tie daughter. He decided to remain in
Alaska and enjoy his new possessions.
The count conceived the idea of build
ing a castle on Point Lookout, overlook
ing the town, and set men at work fell
ing trees and building the foundation.
A cyclone came along and blew the
workmen and the lumber off Point
Lookout, and the count changed his
plans. He bought a lot of land in the
plateau valley below and set a gang of
men at work clearing it. After he had
spent several thousand dollars in this
preliminary work his father ordered him
to return to Russia. Before leaving he
decided over ten lots in juneau, three
lots i'll Douglas City and a cannery site
at Cape Fanshaw to his daughter.
The count said goodby to his Alaskan
family and left his daughter in the care
of Frank Starr of Juneau. Since the
count S return to Russia his father has
died, and he is now in possession of
large estates. Frank Starr is now in
correspondence with him, and he be-
lieves that the count will provide gen
erously for his daughter. SO it is among
the possibilities that this waif in time
\ may become an heiress and a young
woman of some importance in Russia As
we'll as in Alaska. New York Sun.

Another Dramatized Novel.

And now it is announced that Thomas
Hardy's "Tess Of the D'Urbervilles'' is
to be d1amatized and put upon the stage.
"Tess" is amore dramatic novel than
"Trilby," and the difficulties in max
ing a play OF it would seem to be fewer
than in the case of Du Maurier's crea-
ton. 1t would be hazardous to prophesy
failure Of any novel made into a play at
the hands of a skillful playwright and
presented by competent actors after the
triumph of "Trilby."
Tess is the greater imaginative
work viewed in almost every literary
light. Its somber tone will have to be
contended against throughout, there is
fully as much room for the discussion
Of its morality, and it\ is V G more
tragic in its ending than "Trilby." 1t
is hardly to be supposed that realism
will be carried SO far as to introduce q
gallows upon the stage.-Boston Herald.

Some of The most prominent million

heads together some time ago and deter
mined TO make the American Rhine q
center of social pleasures. The richest
men Of the United States live there.
The first development of this pleasure
project will be a casino, the plans of
which are now in the architects hands.

five acres have been purchased at Irving

The casino will be. built on Nevis, the

the way, has passed from the family.

The Street Railway journal Gives Some
Striking Figures About Our Roads.

ADous ooA ANodis
The July number Of The Street Rail
way journal contains a most interest
ing tabulation, never before attempted,
Of the street railway business of the en-
tire country.
There are 916 street railway corpora
street railroad mileage of 13,5SS miles.
Of this total mileage over 10, 900 miles
are now operated by electric power.
There are less than 1000 miles of street
railroads now running by horse power
in the entire United States.
The capitalization figures have a spe-
cial interest. The total capital stock is
sued by the street railroads of the Unit
ed States is very nearly $3.50, 600, 600,
which averages a capitalization Of
$4,000 per mile for the whole country.
The total funded debt is a little over
$552, 900, 600, and averages $40, 600 to
every mile of track. The capital liabili-
ties, however, are found to aggregate
81 800, 1879, I'll, or sos, 600 for every
mile of track.
In other words, the street railroad in
vestment of the United States is nearly
twice as large as the total American ma
tional debt. As with our steam rail
roads, so with our street lines there has
been an N initiation of their
stocks.
The figures just quoted are full Of
water. Canada has somehow contrived
to build her street railroads with total
capital liabilities Of only $43, 500 per
mile Of track, instead of sos, 900 per
mile, which is the average American
| capital liability.

Freedom
Oft as those colors there
Float out upon the air,
One word is by the nations read
Freedom" our word, our own
Upon the four winds blown,
Joy of the living, glory of the dead.
That word, august, slow spoken,
Strikes off the bond %unbroken,
Aye, every shackle that can bind.
It breaks the hated chain
That Ia the body's pain;
1t rives the viler irons on the mind.
So no more colors wave,
But over hero's grave,
The slumber Of immortal sod
The hills on hill and sea,
They chafe, they envy thee.
Emblem Of warriors that remembered
Cd.
" Wave on, speak on, brave flag,
No sham art thou, no brag
OF bad ambition, for a day
To say some groveling thing
RearS, calls himself a king,
To flap a few false hours and drop away.
Stream on, above the night.
Clean on in endless light,
With heaven thy stare have empery.
Let races waves rise and fall,
Time blot out tower and wan,
Forever lives the spirit Of the free

EDITOR POPULIST:


Farming operations are moving
along nicely now that we have such
! fine weather for working out early
corn, though rather dry for plant
ing late corn and cotton. One
thing we now fear is an over pro-
duction of farm products, should
the present fine weather continue.
We have always had an over pro-
ductiOn of one product in this
country, and / fear it is going to
continue, and that is an Orer pro
ductioa Of fools who allow their
minds to be warped by party pre-
judice to such an extent that they
cannot 60 to the polls and east an
intelligent ballot for Home and
good Government. 1t does seem
that the time of party prejudice
should be lost sight of for all time
to come, and the people learn one
lesson, and that to vote for their
own interest.
The question of the distribution
of wealth is now up for settlement
and you have got to vote it right
or shoot right. and if this confiding
people continue to vote in the flu
ture as in the past. the latter is the
most likely to follow. We are
surely on the high seas of financial
ruin, and every day carries us fur
ther away from the shore.
Ignorance and servitude 90 hand
in hand, and no densely ignorant
people can long remain free. The
plutocrats of this nation have read
history and know from the past
that a race of slaves are hard to
unite. Thus the sectional lines
were drawn here after the war
and the laboring people of the
South were taught to hate the Ia
boring people of the North, and
while the two sections were pulling
hair and fighting over immaginary
wrongs, the reduction process has
gone rapidly on until now they
think they see the necessity of a
larger standing army to hold the
people down with bayonetts while
their plutocratic masters rob them
of the products of their toll. Dozen
