wooING ON THE Kill
Was Rudely Interrupted BY a Stern Pa

Hand in hand they strolled through the
fields toward the upland pasture, where he
told her they would be able to see for
miles and miles along the beautiful shore
of the lake, with it's villas here and there,
its resorts along the beach and its little
white towns dotting the gren stretches
and helping to form panorama whose
equal was not to be found upon every con-
tinent.
"And so you loved me from the very
first moment that you ever saw me?' she
said, with radiant look upon her sweet,
freshly kalsomined countenance.

of thing.

A Dinerence OF Opinion.

From the Ration Reporter.
1t Is estimated that the trampe in the
United States cost the country from $l6 :
600, 900 to $40, 0O0, 900 for which they make
no returns. Four-ffths of them are under
fifty years Of age. are able. bodied, and
have the physical ability, OF least, - fol-
low some useful calling. Most of them
give their occupation rs laborers or gen
eral workers, but they are followed, in
point of numbers, by clerks, peddlsrs, tai
lors, carpenters, painters, cigsrmskers'
bricklayers and butchers. In fact, Ia this
tramp army may be found representative
of nearly every trade and occupation Of
the United States. This, too, just at the

Rio Grande Waters.

From the Denver Republican.
The decision of the New Mexico
court In the Elephant Buttes reservoir
case will, it is hoped, put q stop to the
attempt to prohibit the use of the
waters of the Rio Grande for irriga-
ton above the city OF FL Paso. The
temporary Injunction issued In the
first stages of the case was dissolved,
aud 1t is doubtful If the matter will be
taken to a higher court by the govern
meDt.
The court having taken judicial
notice of the fact that the Rio Grande
in New Mexico is not q navigable
stream, the government was driven to
the contention that the diversion of
water in New Mexico interfered with
the navigation of the river at points
several hundred miles below. This
proposition was based on an act Of
congress passed in 1890, which pro.
hiplts the erection OF an obstruction.
not afirmatively authorized by law, to
the navigaoility Of a stream over which

FRIDAY EVENING, JULY 10, 1897
THO Way TO SETTLE IT,

While the report Of an impending
coal famine may be taken with a grain
OF allowance, there is no doubt tina,
any pro osition for an impartial
tribunal 10 settle the rate Of wages Cd
an equitable and honest basis should
be welcomed by all right-minded
people, says the Pittsburg Dispatch.
The situation has been such that
such en- arbitration would have been
acceprnbie without a strike. l. has
been practically conceded by all that
the miners are insufficiently paid, and
in many cases additionally juggled out
of the slender nominal rate by the
notorious devices of high store prices,
WACO limits and unfair screens. Any
project that would end this state OF
affairs by establishing fair wages, and
genuine wages, should have been ac-
ceptable to every coal operator who
preferred to conduct his business on
the plan of common honesty.
To that situation must be added The
fact that 100, 600 men are standing
idle, and that industry is liable to be
hampered by a lack of fuel Such cir
cumstances should make the PROPOSE
ton, for a tribunal of high standing to
investigate and settle the rate of wages
for all districts, and to determine, not
only the diff srerce between districts,
but the diff re3ce in rates between gen.
uine payments in cash and payments
subject to the juggling devices, well
come to every honest man.
The miners on their part should
smooth the pathway to arbitration by
accepting it, if even q fraction OF the
operators agree to it. Let a portion Of
the mines start on the basis of ample
and honest wages, and the other mines
must follow, or If they do not the strike
can be sustained better against them
better If q part of the miners are earn
ing fair pay.
These considerations should bring
about arbitration promptly, and If it is
established on such a basis its prospects
of success will be good.
