Another great wave of emigration is
about to flow over the country The
northwest will receive the greatest bene-
fit from it and every state in that region
is prepared for it. From the Great Lakes
to the Pacific Ocean boards Of immigra-
tion have been formed, full of energy and
enthusiasm and glad to give the newcom-
er all the assistance possible.
In Minnesota the renowned Red River
Valley and the newly opened lands of the
Red Lake Reservation attract the home
seeker.
In North Dakota there are rolling hills
and rich prairie lands. In Montana, the
great Yellowstone Valley, with its new
irrigation enterprises, the noted Gallatin
Valley and the Bitter Root Valley extend
arms of welcome In Idaho and Wash
ington the Nez Peres Reservation lands
recently ceded, and the Palouse, Potlach
and the Yakima Valleys east of the Cas-
cades, are bound to be rapidly settled.
West of the mountains are the fertile
valleys of the Puget Sound in Washing

clan almost from his infancy. AT the age
of 9 years he was playing the bass in a
theater He was attached to what is
known as Her Majesty's Theater, when it
was the Kings Theater. He played q
violin solo in the presence of Rosini.
When King George w. founded the
Royal Academy of Music, Crouch qualified
for royal studentship. His first ballad
was "Zephyrs of Love" sung by Miss Tree.
He grew rich, lost all his money in a zinc
mill. and wrote kathleen Mavourneen'
for Mrs Crawford.
In 1S49 he came to this country 1T the
suggestion of Max Maretzek, who offered
him the post of conductor in the New York
Opera House. The venture failed, and
Crouch became lecturer and wander
ing musician. He was the first to produce
Rosini's tStabat Mater in New Eng
land state. He composed glees, sang in
the church choir and gave music lessons.
Acquiring another small fortune, he lost
it at gold mining in California, returned

Mrs. Alcott's Life Story.

Louisa M. Alcott is said to reveal her.
self in most interesting way. in num-
ber of letters, written to five little girls
which are to appear in the April Ladies'
Home Journal The letters were written
during the busiest period of Miss Alcott's S
life, and present a pen picture of the au-
thor drawn by her own master hand.
In these she talks with singular frank
ness of herself. her work, her aims, her
home, her spiritual belief, and of the in
fluence that directed her to literature.
She never saw any of her five correspond
dents, but their youthful frankness, in
tense interest in all her writings, and
their love for the author and for the
characters of her creations, impelled her
to turn aside from her work and cares
to find diversion in chats with such Gag
erly Enthusiastic, admiring and sympa-
thetic friends. Miss Alcott's first letter
is dated 1872, and the others were written

A new PARTY
One Is Proposed That Will Remedy All
Existing Evils.


Pittsburg. March 2S---The provisional
national executive committee represent
ing the new National Reform Party
have issued an official circular calling q
national convention of the Reformers to
meet in the old city hall, Pittsburg, May
Is, 1896, at o'clock a. m.
The following principles and measures
are recommended by the committee to
the consideration of the platform COM
mittee to be created by the convention:
First-Direct legislation, through the
initiative and referendum should be the
first principle incorporated in a national
platform, in order to restore the ancient
rights of government of the people, by
the people, and for the people.
Second--That as the money question
has become a live issue in politics it
must, therefore, form a prominent feat
ure in the platform, setting forth the dis
tinctive views of the reformers AS favor
ing the issuing of all moneys-gold, sill
yer and paper--by the general govern
ment and that this money should be the
legal tender for all debts, both public
and private and that each shall be ex-
changeable into the other at par at the
option of the government.
Third-The abolition Of the liquor traf-
fic for beverage purposes with govern
ment control of the same for all otner
uses.
F'ouyth-The free and equal coinage Of
silver and gold at the ratio of 16 to l.;
government ownership of railroads, tele-
graph lines, telephones and othe, means
of communication; equal suffrage, land,
proper means to raise revenues for the
government; immigration; public i'm
provements and other questions may be
deemed sufficiently important for consid-

A Boy Hero.

On the night of the 31sS Of May, 1856
whilst O'Neill's Feniaas were about en-
barking on the barges awaiting to convey
them from Buffalo across the Niagara
River and land them in the neighborhood
of Fort Erie, on the Canadian shore, to
fight it out with John Bull, commotion
which may be described as "rumpus
drew O'Neills attention. The latter pro-
ceeded to the spot and discovered one of
the Buffalo officers "lambasting'' a boy
who was endeavoring to board one of the
barges with the Intention as he described
it, of having a shot at Queen Vic The
boy, fine young fellow, apparently not
more than ten or eleven years old, was
the son of the officer correcting" him.
On promising to return to his residence
his father released him with an impress
i've parting injunction, and the embarka-
ton proceeded.
When the four hundred Fenians landed
on British territory day was breaking;
the barges cut loose: the men formed in
to column of fours and with the; green
flag flung to the breezes of heaNen, Fort
Erie was marched on. The march had
hardly begun when a noise WHICH can
only be compared to the bombarding of
an iron hulk with grape shot, the
the rafting Of musketry in the near dis
tance, or a Harlan sham battle fought
out with empty tomato cans, filled the
circumambient air. and it took its rise
from the head of the column. lnvestiga-
ton showed the causes. 1t was the boy
of the night previous, and the noise pro-
ceeded from the ,,nmercifll "whacking'
on the sides and head of a big drum
which he carried in front of him and
beat with the vigor of a Salvation Army
enthusiast There was no turning the
! boy back then. His father and O'Neill
accepted the inevitable, and can unhes-
itatingly state that in the taking posses
sion of Fort Erie, the fight for its repos-
session and the defeat and capture of the
3Welland Canal Battery, no man distin-
guished himself more than the drum
beating youngster did. Himself and his,
by this time, well cracked instrument
were here, there and everywhere. and
the white plumed helmet of King Henry
Of Navarro was not more conspicuous in
the battle than this lads drum.
! This boy is a man now-Hon. John e.
Sheehan, ex-Police Commissioner-re-
spected and admired by everyone with
whom business or politics brought in
contact with him, and is as deserving OF
the good will of his countrymennot
only for his gallantry in Canada, but for
being the recipient OF the attentions

the conquering and evicting nation by
fomenting ill-will between the States
and Great Britain, with the result that
England is put to several additional mill
ions yearly of war expenditure to meet
eventualities. England has put people
in chancery. Ireland is the Bleak House
of the nations. Under such n1isrule her
population dropped from S,175, ,124 in 1871
to 4,704,75C in 1891, and in this year is
not more than 4,50O,0OO. With her peo-
pie have gone their saving. Such is Eng
lish rule in Ireland.
mo matter in what direction we turn
the picture is gloomy in the extreme. In
fifty years the proportion Of pa1lpers has
doubled. In 1849 the paupers OF Ireland
were IS per 900 Of the population; in
England 26 per 1000. The rural towns
are in ruins The land is slipping back
into the bog, Roofless and deserted
homesteatis stand melancholy skeletons,
reminding the people of their doom un-
der the heel of the ruthless all-grabber.
OF eight leading European countries, Ire
land has the smallest birth rate and the
lowest marriage rate. We stand In the
presence of national assassination and
robbery with violence. What wonder If
Ireland is constantly calling for venge-
ance and retribution on the heads of the
criminals.
LET us hope that the election of Mr..
Dillon to the craftsmanship of the Irish
party will mark new era in the history
of the sister island. Ireland now stands
alone The man who, through vain or
ambitious motives, should continue The
discreditable faction fighting which has
shocked and disguised the world would
be an enemy to Ireland to be held up to
public execration. Have the people of
ireland no voice? Do they mean to con-
vince both friends aud enemies that
there is nothing in the national cause
since the would-be leaders can afford to
disspate the strength of the movement
and hold Ireland up to ridicule and con-
tempt by the continuance of sordid and
disgusting Suuabble?"

COL. CARR AND THE GOVERNOR.
SHIP.

Fridays Wilmington Messenger
says:
"CoI. Julian s. Carr does not desire
the nomination for Governor. He is,
we know. not in the least interest
ing himself to secure it. He prefers
that the standard bearer of the Dem
ocracy should be some one else. He
has not positively said that under no
circumstances would he accept the
nomination, but he has said repeated
" that he does not desire it. In fact
up to now he does not see for various
reasons "how he could entertain the
proposition of nomination. We do
not speak by authority, but knowing
his patriotism and his devotion to the
grand old Democratic party we must
believe that his nomination almost by
reclamation, as Vance was nominated
i'll 1876, would almost compel him to
surrender and obey the mandates of
the Democracy. He thinks that ''the
nomination of Russell was blunder
on the part of the Republican party,
and that a wise nomination on the part
of the Democrats would enable them
to sweep the State" Thus far we
have seen no man mentioned for the
place but the writer of these words
who will "Gll the bill"

MAJ. w. A, GUTHR1E's VIEWS.

The Washington correspondent of
the Winston Sentinel, says:
Major William A. Guthrie, of Dur
ham, n. c., the prospective candidate
for governor on the Populist State
ticket, is in the city, ostensibly to de-
termine whether he or Spier Whita-
ker is to head the Populist ticket this
fall. He regards Russell as the weak
est man the Republicans could have
put up, and opines that the Russell
nomination, together with the re-
turning boards treatment of Dock
cry, will cost the Republicans many
thousands of votes at the next cleo
ton, and will be worth twenty thou
sand to the Popuhsts. He regards
fusion with the Republicans as out
of the question. Boise and Teller is
the latest prediction for the National
ticket"

most reliable source that the state

to an asylum for treatment, does that
gentleman great injustice. His con-

JAMES H. SOUTHGATE FOR VICE
PRESIDENT. ~

A telegram was received in Dur
ham yesterday morning announc-
ing that at the Prohibition conyen-
ton i'm session in Pittsburg Mr.. j. H.
Southgate, citizen of Durham, had
been nominated for Nice-President
The readers Of the Durham column
in the News and Observer win doubt
less remember the prediction made
a few weeks ago that Mr.. Southgate
would be given this honor; that he
would wear it worthily none who
know him will for moment entertain
a doubt.
He is man of learning, a man who
has devoted his life work to the cause
of prohibition and it was but meet and
proper that this honor should have
gone to him.
OF course it is not thought for a
moment that he will be elected, but
it is great honor that party that has
SO long stood for principle should
consider him worthy of the second
place on its ticket
