should nave IelI tne oiAAeAsAA~S eA''s'
That so little change has occurred IN
business shows plainly IL has made no
difference. Some disappointment at
some of the real estate offices 10 about all
one oan notice. Regular business Is not
perceptibly affected and most OF the
large hotels have had enough regular
business to hold them fairly steady.
II is fortunate that this is 50. Many
have said that tenderfeet were our best
crop; some envious ones have said they
were about our only crop. There are
neople north who really believe that we
make our living out of the "one-lung-
ers." whereas they are really about as
scarce here as anywhere. doctors having
learned that when a patient Is SO rar
gone with consumption the best thing
he can do is to stay at home and die IN
comfort among his friends. There are
others who believe about all we have TO
live on is the money we extract from the
wealthy stranger on whom we uhioau
some real estate. At times there mas
been enough Of this to turn the heads OF
many owners Of dry land and make them
believe it was priceless for town lots I'd
accommodate the universe, but the great
majority have merely caught the s,rah-
gers dollars on the wing when they he"
too near and have gone steadily on WIN
solid business.
The way Southern California grew IN
the years following the collapse OF .he
great boom showed how unnecessary
cron of tourists is to its prosperity. Tnat
prosperity came from the cultivation OF
the soil and it has gone steadily on ever
since in a way that few keep track OF un-
less constantly travelling. The growth
~ celery on the peat beds of orange
county. for instance, is almost new IN
dustry, yet it is probable that 1t does
more for the country than all the tourist
hotels together. Probably four-fifths OF
the money spent by the wealthy tourist
at one of our largest hotels goes BACK
east again in very short time for
douors. cigars, turkeys, and what not,
which they can buy cheaper in carload
lots abroad. aside from the fact that
being Imported" they will please the
snobs better. But the money that comes
in for the two hundred and fifty carloads
~ celery that have gone out this year
goes into many hand and comes near
staying there.
The money that comes in each
year for beans, nuts, vegetables,
and many other things hardly counted in
our regular crops of fruit, would surprise
even an old resident who would take the
trouble to investigate the subject. And
almost any one of them are of more
substantial benefit than the sprinkling
Of the tourists money What the strang-
er pays each year for real estate Is an
other matter. Too many weak heads are
expanded too much with the idea OF
land sales continuing forever in ever
increasing measure. The sooner this
idea is abandoned the better. The past
year has clearly proved that we can do
very we'll without buyers. Although
they have not entirely fallen off there
has been change enough to hurt us 1t It
could do SO. The surest way to make
the stranger crazy for some real estate
is to show him a country that is inde-
pendent of him. That is one Of the
things we can do and should continue to
do.

Of warlike barbarians. while the six I'M

contest. And II that were all. It would
still be enough to challenge comparison
In wickedness. But there is deeper In
fanny. It 10 now conceded that the TURK

compelled to this course by one or more
Of the imperial bullies. The greatest or

is as difz7cult to account for this as 1t Is
to understand the motive that actuates
the friendly" assurances that sound
like hollow blasphemy coming from the
powers. These bullies now have a car
nival Of slaughter on parade for their
entertainment. This wasprepared by the
active efforts of one, or, perhaps, two, OF
themselves and through the acquiee-
assurance is that whenever either of
their maddened victims. being no long
er able to fight, and when the last of the
available blood of the nation shall have
been shed, and 1t shall ask of them to
intervene, then they will promptly step
in and pull the mangled combatants
asunder. The dog-fighter is quite as hu-
name, though his combatants are only
beasts. But with the powers the enter
tainment is too novel to be stopped so
long as the pugilist can still raise his
hands.
But there is an undercurrent of opin-
ion abroad in Europe that seems to set
against the course pursued by the Eu-

Sheridau's Gratitude

Sheridan once had occasion to call
at a hairdresser's to order wig. On
being measured the barber, who was a
liberal soul, invited the orator to take
some refre shments in an inner room.
Here he regaled him with a bottle of
port, and showed SO much hospitality
that Sheridan's heart was touched.
When they arose from the table and
were about separating. the latter, look
ing the barber full in the face said:
"On rejecting, 1 don't intend that you
shall make my wig" Astonished and
with blank visage the other exclaimed:
Good heavens, Mr.. Sheridan! How
can 1 have displeased you" "Why,
look you," said Sheridan, you are an
honest fellow. and repeat it, you shan't
make my wig. for 1 never intended to
pay for it. I'll go to another less wor-
thy son of the craft"

The Glorious Carnival in Spain

A friend of mine, writing from sunny
Spain, tells me OF the glories Of the car
nival in ancient and picturesque Gra-
NADIA. which she informe me quite
eclipses in warmth of color and de-
lightfulness of it's surroundings the
more familiar saturnalia of the Rivie-
ra, or of the French or Italian cities.
The brightness and beauty were not
confined to the streets Of the old Moor
ish capital, and one of the scenes which
appears to have most impressed my
fair correspondent was that of the the
ater on the last night of the carnival.
when the whole house was filled with
masqueraders, who utterly neglected
to attend to the performance and
amused themselves with firing volleys
of confetti at one another in a spirit
of joyous abandonment which would
seem strange indeed in one Of our West
end theaters.-Sketch.

Mr.. Blaine to Mr.. Mckinley

been resuscitated will be read with in
terest:
Washington, April 10, 1890.
Dear Mr.. McKinley-It is a great mis-
take to take hides from the free list.
where they have been for so many years.
1t is a slap in the face to the South
Americans, with whom we are trying to
enlarge our trade. 1t will benefit the
farmer by adding 5 to per cent to the
price of his children's shoes. 1t will yield
a profit to the butcher only-the last
man that needs it. The movement Is in
judicious from beginning to end-in
every form and phase. Pray stop 1t
before it sees light Such movements as
this for protection will protect the Re-
publican party into speedy retirement.

His Earliest Love

He met her long ago. when life
Was rosy with loves fond ideal;
Ere manhood, with It's cares and strife.
Had sternly spoken: Life Ii realr'
All throbbins nature sang to him
He heard her voice on every breeze;
And, oh, 1t was his darling whim
To murmur these sweet rhapsodies;
Love is the nectar Of the rose.
Love is the golden wine Of life;
Drink Of 1t. sweet and charmed repose
Will drown thy sorrow. calm thy strife!
Love It Is constant, love is true;
All! love, in fine
Love is the only gift which we
May term divine!
And now, tho time has brought its care.
And distance spreads in leagues between
Yet In his memory still is fair
The image of his boyhoods queen!

Will there never come a season
Which shall rid us from the curse
OF prose which knows no reason
And an unmeodious verse;
When the world shall cease to wonder
At the genius of an ass,
And a boys eccentric blunder
Shall not bring success to pass;
When mankind shall be delivered
From the clash of me- azines,
And the inkstand shall be shivered
Into countless smithereens:
When there stands a muzZled STRIPPING
Mute, beside a muzzled bore;
When the Rudyards cease from Kipling
And the Haggards ride no more!

in solid sheet Of flame two miles wide.
From various points in Nebraska come
reports Of various fires. Much farm
property has been destroyed, but as far
as known no lives have been lost. Much
stock has persisted. The woods and
prairie are very dry, no rain having
fallen for two months. Guards have
been placed on all the high hills to give
