From synopsis OF the financial report
Of the commissioner OF arid lands, print
ed on another page, it win be seen that a
coed start has been made toward getting
the lands granted by the Carey act to the
state of Washington. While the other
granted lands Of the state can wait the
good pleasure of purchasers, these to
be had by retaining as provided by the
national law, must be brought under ir-
rigation during the next few years OF

begun IL the only way TO get cheap lands.

the financial depression, the commission

thus make place for such colonies as

MUST HELP SILVER.

In . letter from Senator Chandler "a
the National RevieW OF London, he says
concerning the silver question:
"The question Is not one Of four years,
nor decade. 1t may tske as long to re-
inonetixe silver a. it has to realize the
paralyzing influences Of characterization.
But the fact that six out Of the thirteen
millions Of American voters have given
their ballots for the project of immediate
free silver coinage by the United States
alone shows that the question is one
which must be compromised and adjust
Cd in some way. The advocates of gold
monometallism are crying out that the
silver question is dead They hope, but
do not really believe, that this is true.
Never was 1t more important for bI-met.
alists to exert themselves. Mr.. McKin.
ley is pledged by his own words to co.
operate with u.s."
The Rsriep in it's comments asserts
that "unless the republican party settles
the silver question before 1900, there will
be nothing left of that party after 1907

Except that it is practically foul in its
details and revolving in its motives and
phases Of presentation, the libel suit OF
the head OF the great English house Of
Russell against his former mother-in-Iaw
and her abominable accomplices presents
few points Of difference when compared
with other notorious English cases that
have gone before it. They all point the
same moral and hold out the same warn
ing, and that was summed up long by
DR.. Watts, namely, that "satsn finds
some mischief still for idle hands to do. y
The principal actors OF this slimey TRACE
dy belong, by beredity or adoption, TO
the idle class. They are people who
never knew the exact meaning o.
an honest days work. They are, In fact

considered unworthy OF gentleman and

OUR COAST DEFENSES.

At the present time the eyes of the ma
ton are fixed with rather more peril.
nent interest than usual on the efforts oil
the departments OF the administration
that deal with our beligerents abilities In
case Of hostilities with some European
power. No part of either of the reports
bearing on this subject will be read with
more scrutiny than that which relates to
our seaboard deienses. To this branch
of the subject Secretary Lamont devotes
. fair amount Of attention.
II ID not creditable to reflect that in
July, 1893, this country had bat one high
power gun mounted for defense and II may
be added that in 1895, when Mr.. Cleye-
land flung down gratuitous challenge to
the first naval power OF the world, the
situation was not 30 much better that it
would have done us any good II the chal-
lenge had been accepted. Since that
time, however, the work of defending
our seaports has progressed so rapidly
that by next July we shall have seventy
high power guns and ninety-five mortars
in place, and by the following July q
total of 12S gums and 1913 mortars. This
ID rapid work, but it took genuine war
scare to force Congress to make the ap.
preparations necessary to provide for the
work. Even with the weapons and at
tachments in sight our coast cannot be
made reasonably impregnable within
three years, even with the assistance Of
the navy in sight.

Smallpox.

The marks that smallpox leaves on
the hands and face may be entirely pre-
vented by the simple expedient of hang
ing red curtains round the patients bed.
This marvellous discovery was made
In the reign of Edward / by DR.. Cad
desden, who from that time has been
persistently ridiculed and laughed at
by men Of science to this day, notwith-
standing the fact that he claimed to
have effected many cures, notably that
of Edward ii himself when Prince of
Wales.
He ordered that the patient should be
wrapped In scarlet cloth. and that the
bed and furniture Of his room should be
painted in the same color. This vas the
main cure, but he continued to treat the
patient in the usual manner.

been discovered that everything claimed
for this simple remedy is perfectly truT
