The Mackerel Fishery.

New mackerel from the southern fleet
have continued to be landed at New York
and Philadelphia, some seven arrivals hav-
ing been noted for last week. Early in the
week they sold for full prices, but later were
rather easy, especially since they began
running smaller, the last arrivals being only
medium. The mackerel fleet is now pretty
thoroughly represented in southern waters
there being about 10 sail now out, and two
OF three more fitting. The remarkable
stocking of the crews of the vessels making
the first catches has stimulated the fisher
men to renewed exertions, and they will

taken recently in the traps on the Cape, and
it is suggested that the schools of large

JOAQUIN MILLER,s PYRE.
Poet of the Sierras to BE Cremated on
His Own Rocky Acres.
CO

Joaquin Miller, the poet of the Sierras.
has done many things to mark him as
man Of rare eccentricity, and as last
browning act of his strange career he has
perfected all the arrangements for his own
funeral and the incineration of his mortal
remains when his soul shall have escaped
to the great beyond. His last rites will be
as strange as his life. If his wishes are
carried out his remains will be burned upon
a funeral pyre of his own building.
Far up on the top of a sterile eminence
in the hills back of Fruitvale the quaint
man of letters has builded his bier: 1t is
10x10 feet and standing eight feet high. 1t
is composed of 62O huge granite powders.
set in solid cement and laid with skilled
hands in a manner calculated to endure for
centuries. The queer structure is ap-
preached by three immense steps laid
across the entire west frontage and Of suf-
ficient height to permit bearers to place a
body on the top of the heap.
The big masonry pile has been designed
lowed out to a depth of two feet. in the
shape of a coffin. When the end of all
things comes this space will be filled with
wood and the body of the poet will be placed
on top of it all. The structure has been
built so that a good draft will fan the blaze
into flames when the torch is applied and
assured fact. The ashes of the poet will
mingle with the ashes of the faggots, to be
scattered to the thirty-two points of the
compass by the winds that play about 1.-THE
Heights.
This is the end of the poet of the sierras,
as ne mas designed II n1QlSeI. Inc quaint
funeral pyre will be unmarked with any
inscription to tell the story of the strange
end of this strange man. Six feet to the
north of the masonry tomb lies a great
brown bOwl6er weighing probably two tons.
The surface has been smoothed off and upon
it's face in large white letters has been
carefully printed this inscription: ITO the
Unknown" This is the only epitaph that
will grace the sacred spot.
If the eccentric writer has any definite
knowledge as to who will carry his body up
the tortuous pathway from his queer resi-
dence to the top of the eminence where
stands the tomb, who will arrange the fag-
gots and who viii apply the torch. he does
not say much about it. He disrnisses the
matter very briefly when questioned on the
subject.

Progressive Baltimore.

Baltimore, under the stimulus Of "a Repub-
ican municipal government and Republican
legislative enactments is progressing finely
and will soon be up in the front rank OF pro-
gressive cities-that is, counting high tax
rates and ever-increasing bonded indebted
ness as evidence of progress.
The bonded debt of the city was increased
last year by S2,677, $3.50 02, an amount nearly
equal to the net debt of the state, and bill
is pending in the General Assembly to au-
thorize an addition to the bonded debt OF
81, 100000. The bill will no doubt pass the
legislature and the unemployed labor of the
city. the tax dodgers and the unreAecting vote
will carry the measure when submitted to
popular vote The net bonded debt of the
city is now SIG, 735, $50. 46, and this prospec-
tive increase will bring it up to S2l ,235, $780,
46. In addition there is considerable float
ing debt, the new charter will add to the an
nual charges of the city, and an addition of
seventy-five men is to be made to the police
force, making an annual increase for police
men of about $1,000

Republican Trickery.

The Democrats of the Legislature took up
the bill granting a new charter for the city of
Baltimore and let it pass on the faith of the
high character and intelligence of those en-
trusted with its preparation. When too late
they discovered that some partisan redistrict-
ing legislation was sneaked into the bill. An
effort was made to recall the bill, but it had
been hurried off to the Governor and signed
by that official before recall was possible.
We have no sympathy with the Democrats in
their hour of deception. They knew, or
ought to have known. the character of the
Republicans who are guiding affairs, and
should not have trusted in the least to their
honesty. The Easter Shore law was repealed
bv Il trick in 1886 and now a charter for the
city of Baltimore has been passed, with a
provision setting apart The legislative districts
snemked into it.

Yellow Journalism.

The daily papers who have neither the en-
ergy nor money to gather and publish accurate
news in regard to the Maine disaster and the
situation over Cuban affairs, are prone to
speak of those New York journals that have
as 'yellow" journals. 1t is true these papers
run into colored illustrations little too much
for good taste, but daily papers are DEEPEN

papers publish, however, is as reliable as that

EVANSVILLE, Nd, March 24.-Between
fifty and sixty ladies of this village met in the
Sunday school room of the Presbyterian
Church here, yesterday, to consider certain
phrases of the local school question. State
inents had been made that the meeting was
for the purpose of inaugurating movement
for the removal of the Misses Gray, the
local teachers of the public school. This
statement finds verifcation in the fact that
several ladies have been energetieally at work
for the past week, in securing the attendance
of sufficient number of ladies ,tosvote down
any proposition detrimental to the Misses
Gray. How we'll these ladies succeeded was
plainly visible at the meeting, the friends of
the Misses Gray turning out in full force and
denouncing in unmstakable terms the ultimate
object of the promoters of the meeting.
TO say that the meeting was exciting does
not do the occasion justice. 1t was uprear-
ious Parliamentary decorum was thrown to
the winds, and pandemonium reigned. Spicy
repartee and sarcasm were freely INDUCED in.
and the meeting was finally broken up in con-
fusion.

Senator German.

The defeat of Mr.. German for another term
in the Senate has pleased small cOtere of
people in Maryland, masquerading as Demo-
Gratis, but he has lost nothing with the people
of the United States beyond our borders. He
is easily the foremost leader of the Demo-
cratic party in Congress and his wisdom and
Judgment are confided in by the whole coun-
fry. In the crisis now upon as, President
Mckinley sent for him and sought his advice
last Tuesday, thus demonstrating his estimate
of his judgment in important affairs. If the
Sun, the Nc,cs and the alleged independent
Democrats of Maryland are not heartily
ashamed of the senseless and unjust CAM
paign they waged against him they are lost
to all sense of decency.
Let the Democrats of the Fifth Congress
sional District nominate and elect him to the
House OF Representatives next fall, and con-
tinue his services in federal affairs. AS
Speaker or on the floor his influence would
be potent for good and he would also be the
Democratic advisor for the Senate.
