Hawthorne's Home.

OF the hundreds who annually make q
pilgrimage to view the birthplace of Haw-
thorne and the many spots associated with
his name, large number are doomed to
disappointment when they see the house
numbered p Union street, where the great
author first saw the light There is moth
ing in the commonplace little structure to
suggest the birthplace of genius and there
are in town perhaps half a dozen houses
bullt about u century ago which are very
similar from the low gambrel roof to the
large brick chimney that seems to dwarf
the rest of the house. Its uninterestinp
appearance is not calculated to chain the
visitors attention for long, and one usu-
ally moves on to the Herbert street home
stead, where the greater part of Haw-
thorne's youth was spent. If discouraged
before, you are doubly SO now as this
house has degenerated into the poorest
hind of a tenement with lines of clothes
stretched from the windows and ragged
children playing about the doorway. Much
pieasanter places are the houses on Dear
born and Chestnut streets, where he lived
for short periods and number IA Mall
street, where he produced his most power
full story, The Scarlet Letter.
Adjoining the Charter street burying
ground is the Peabody house, where Haw-
thorne courted and won his wife, 1t is
now generally called Grimshawe house
from the fact that the scene of the first
part of DR. Grimshawe's Secret" is laid
there, and 1t is described with the most
absolute realism in the opening chapter of
that romance.

House of the Seven Gables.

The so-called House of tine Seven Gables
has only four gables now, and 1t cannot
be ascertained that 1t ever had many more,
but the best-informed local antiquaries
unite in saying that 1t is the house from
which the story derives its name. When
this house on Turner street has been in

TFfE PEOPLE IGNORED.

The people last fall voted for cur
rency reform, and they looked for
and expected it, until they were given
to understand that the republican
campaign promises were only fcS-
ture OF sort OF bunco game. 4
great number OF voters supported the
republican candidate for the presi-
dency under the assurance tina: his
tion would promote the interests
OF the .imet ilic eau % Those vot-
ers also were fooled. although the
president has made a show OF carry.
ing out the pledge of the st Louls
platform. We are not to have any
urency reform; we are not To have
bimetallic policy. We are to have
only tariff OF Il high brand. High
tariff has long been an article Of Re-
publican faith. and the leaders
would like to put another robbcr
measure on the statute book, sn that
il il should Ia. pen to Just antedatr
the return u prosperity. pure re
publican policy would be credited
with having brought good times.
Tine New York Press Washington
correspondent thus explains the fail
ure of currency Legislation to mater

Leading republicans know that il
the house should pass Il bill reform
ing the currency or to permit pool
ing. or any legislation objectionable
to the silver combine in the senate
tho tariff bill would be made the OBJ
iect Of their revenge.
@The activity OF the house in
thrusting upon the Senate corpora
ton or financial legislation instantly
would rekindle with added fire all
the animositics Of the campaign, and
the silver question would jump to the
front. There would be endless de
bate. and the result would be the
failure OF everything which is ear.
nesily desired. Above all issues the
republican managers intend To IL cp
the tariff forward"
There's the whole secret. Tho re-
publican party does not want to take
any orders from the people. 1t pro.
poses to show them that it knows bet.

THE FEDERAL oFPICERs.

A fierce factional fight for the Fed.
eral Offices is now beng waged among
Nevada Republicans. Though every
official appointed by Presidents Harr.
son in this State wns permitted to
serve out his full term of four years,
as provided by the tenure Of Office
act, no sooner was President McKin-
ley installed. in the White House than
the great dispenser Of patronage. Mr..
Hanna OF Ohio, was importuned to re-
instate the old. officials in the po.
sitions which some OF them had. va.
Gated less than two years before.
According To. the most reliable in
formation attainab!e on the subject
there. are at least four pronounced
candidates Tor every Preside ntial ap-
pointment in Nevada. washce coun-
ty has two or three applicants for
the Surveyor Generalship, ono for
United States District Attorney. two
for United States Marshal and two
for the Pyramid Lake Indian Agency.
Ormsby county has three candidates
for Superintendent OF the Mint. three
for District Attorney, one for United
States Marshal, one or two for Su-
perintendent Of tho Indian School and
three for Meter and Refiner at the
Mint. Storey county candidates for
the Surveyor ,.Generalship, United
Stales Marshal and Melter and Rctin-
or. Elko county has capdiIlate for
Superintendent OF the Mint, and
Humboldt ono for the Pyramid In.
dian Agency. There are doubtless
many others who are quietly but en-
orgetically using all the means at
their command to convince Mr.. Han
ma that the interests OF the party
would be best subserved by giving
them Office. =,
The impreFalon seeihSto be among
some of those who cldin TO he in
communication with the. .Isewers TINT
be, that WGshop. county will be
awarded the S1kyeyor General, Orms-
by the District Attorney and Mar
shal. Elko tho Sperintende mt OF tho
Mint, Otmsby the Melter and Refiner
aud Humboldt the Indian Agent. II.
thls present incumbents arc not re-
moved fdfpolitital reasons there will
DO no vacancy in the Mint until June.
1898, and the Surveyor General will
hold until 1899.
Tho District Attorney WINS ap-
pointed IN 1894 and has u year more
to serve. but tho Indian Agent camo
here from Delaware early in Glove
land's Administration md the GUS
tom has been to place new agent at
the reservation any time the Presi-
dent wanted to give position to a
friend.
II Ia not likely that thero will bc
many removals in Nevada until tho
present incumbonts have served four
years. Our Senators .are not urging
Mr.. Hanna TO mako any changes and
~ no Federal appointment for the
State will DO confirmed without their

IRELAND's FINANCES.

Remedy Proposed for Grievances
Now Existing.
LONDON March 5.--In the House of
Lords today Lord Castleton GiberaD
raised the question of the financial re-
lations between Great Britain and
Ireland and suggested as a remedy for
the grievances of Ireland the creation
of a consolidated fund, to be managed
by Irish financiers and utilized to pro-
mote Irish industries and agriculture.
Lord Lansdowne, Secretary of State
for War. speaking on behalf of the
Government, advised that the House
await the report of the committee ap-
pointed to inquire into the financial re-
lations existing between Great Britain
and Ireland Lord Farrer QiberaD eX-
pressed his disapproval of the scope of
the inquiry allowed TO the new COM
mission.
Lord Morris, Lord of Appeal, ex-
pressed the opinion that unjust taxa
ton was answerable for the downward
course of Ireland He believed that
crops would disappear altogether and
the people of Ireland still further de-
crease in numbers if the taxes were
not reduced.
Lord Spencer UiberaD thought that
the decrease of taxation in Ireland was
the only eventually solution of a safe
measure of home rule.

lifa is relying on Osman Digna to repel

him Governor of Berber. Osman Iigna

and called out upward OF 25,OV0 Der

Advices from Egyptian spies, low

Dervishes are reluctant to fight, and
that Osman Digna has been COMPLIED
to dispatch a force of 5000 men to ira
verse the country, calling upon the
Arabs TO join his standard undel the

warlilke Aspect of Affairs Causes

LONDON. March S.-A Times dis
patch from Athens at midnight says
some of the members of the foreign
legations and other foreign residents
have already left the city, and it is
reported that several of the legations
have advised all foreigners to leave
Greece. This has caused a painful
feeling on the part of the Greek pub
lie, which regards it as an unjustified
step. as the foreigners have been
treated with all respect and have at
no time been in any danger whatever.
Moreover a majority OF the foreign
residents are known to favor the
Greek cause.
Certainly the aspect of the city is
very warlike. but considering the eX-
cited state of the public mind the peo-
pie are behaving with moderation and
exhibiting marked self control.
The trains are bringing in thousands
of reserves from the provinces. and
these are parading the streets with
their accoutrements. A squadron of

erse the principal streets. and will

LORD SALISBURY TALKS.
English Language VIII Soon b'
Universally Ineligible.

Universally Ineligible.
LONDON, March 6.-Nothing has so
much impressed those who were pres
ent at the Mansion House dinner to
Mr. Bayard as the speech and person
atty of the Prime Minister.
The pressure of responsibilities un-
der which Lord Salisbury is living in
these ominoVe days is something al
most beyond conception. The burden
has no visible effect upon him. There
was no sign of WEAKNESS, care or even
abstraction in his appearance or man
ner as he Joined, apparently without
reserve, in the festivities of the even
ing He had attended a long Cabinet
council earlier in the day, spent sew
eral hours at the Foreign Office, and
had just come from the House of
Lords. where he had announced the
Governments Cretan policy in a de-
tailed speech. whose every word. in it's
effect for peace or war, required care
full weighing.
Then he made a speech after dinner.
which was a gem in language thought
er of Babel. or rather the effect of the
reversal of that episode, which the
world is witnessing in the spread OF
the English language. He expressed
the belief that what is said in that
language will before long be intelli-
gible over almost all the world. He
insisted that this might turn out TO
be either a great blessing or a great
curse. according TO the spirit in which
those who mold the convictions of the
English-speaking races choose to guide
the formation of those convictions 1t
is, in fact a sort of reversal of the
effect which the confusion of tongues
is supposed to have produced. In Lord
Salisbury's view the difficulty which
the different races have found in mas
tering each others language has not
been by any means an unmiXed evil.
It has served as a kind of non-conduct-
ing medium to limit the mischief which
irresponsible and mischievous talk oft
en- produced.
