WORTH READING.

The most audaclous and stupen-
dous fraud ever incubated and
perhaps the most romantic was
the "Perslts Grant" which came
very near robbing the United
States OF more than twelve million
acres OF Arizona and New Mexico.
A fsmo1s lurist has characterized
it as "the greatest fraud ever at
tempted against q government in
its own courts. , The poor petty
larcenists who are now trying TO
annex few pitiful paches far
down the Pacific, should feel cheap
beside this single handed man who
aimed to annex to himself do
main nearly three times as big as
the Hawaiian Islands.
One of the most striking epi
sodes in American history is the
career OF this remarkable man, this
prince Of plotters aud of forgers.

MORE CHEERFUL.

The effects of the collapse of western land States, and, to be more definite, right here in New Haven. Some think that more western booms are on the way, and that some of those who have hung on'' may yet rejoice. Kansas City is one of the places where boom collapsed and did more damage than the most damaging bomb that hit the Vizcaya. It appears that the building permits in Kansas city for the first seven months of the current year show that of the same months of 1897, which was an active yea. The permits for est in the history of the city for sim gle month. At the same rate of in- crease, and making allowances for a falling off toward the end of the year, the building for 1898 will foot up con- siderably more than $30O0,OOO It is noted that most of the money invested in buildings is being put into resi- dences and it is pointed out that the activity in building dwelling houses is based upon sound business policy is evident from the fact that the popula- tion of the city has increased about & per cent. within year, and at the same rate of growth will reach 800, ,000 in less than ten years.
 This is perhaps good figuring. It is certainly more cheerful figuring than some that has been made during the last few years. Rooms in Kansas City, Minneapolis, Denver, Omaha and sev- eral other places, including western Kansas, will do eastern investors much good

ICE CLIPPERS.

All is not gold that glitters in the cent news from that well-advertised re- zion is not such as to encourage the formation of enthusiastic expeditions. Little gold is coming out, and many discouraged prospectors are coming out. The steamer Portland arrived at San Francisco the other day. She had only $250 900 on board. The man who had the most money was E. Lewis, former New Yorker, who has been over ten years on the Yukon. He declared that every statement made about the Klon- dike can be divided by four, and that outside of three miles on Bonanza Creek there is no certainty of paying claims anywhere. A man may work all fairly and yet when he slushes out his dump in spring he may not make more than wages. Hundreds of men who took Hays" on Bonanza and Eldorado creeks this year and spent the winter and spring in hard work realized noth- ing more than expenses, although some of their neighbors may have cleaned up fortunes. It is such stories as these that are chilling enthusiasm about the Klondike. Another thing that discour- ages stampede to the north is the shallow water on the Yukon river. Ac- cording to last accounts from St. Mi chaePs hundreds of prospectors are stranded there, unable to get up the river because of low water. They will be fortunate if they do not have to spend the winter somewhere along the route, ahd, in any case, they will lose a chance of summer prospecting.
 Moral: If you meet the Rev. P. F. Jernegan don't let him sell you his process for getting gold out of sea- water.

CONSOLATION.

Hasn't there been a little too much effort lately to get volunteers sent to war? And hasn't that effort been a little too successful? Is it strictly nec- essary or truly wise to send 15,000 vol unteers to Porto Rico, not because they are needed, but ito give the several States in the Union representation in the field?" And wouldn't the politi- clans be solid enough without this aid to their solidity? The New York Times says the performance is scandal and an outrage and adds: It is a scandal because 1t exposes to the whole world the wretched groveling of the War de- partment to the politicians and throws a ghastly aspect of ludicrousness on our real achievements. It is an out rage because it adds largely to the ex-, pense of the war, already very costly, and still more because it is recogni- tion of a perfectly unreasonable and mischievous spirit of sectonalism.
 This is strong language. They talk more softly in Washington. There they call the expedition "a consolation excursion.'

thoroughly inoculate them with what the Germans call wanderlust. When a bluejacket passes a few of his summers in the latitude of the North Cape and a couple of his winters down among the Bermudas or in the salubrious South Pacific, he Is likely to acquire dislike for the climate of the United States, and this dislike has more weight than anything else in forming his decision to remain in the navy, Moreover, after a few years in the navy the bluejacket seems to become possessed of the odd idea that he is really doing nothing aboard ship to earn his pay, that the perpetual scurry in which he is kept from all hands in the morning until pipe down at night is really not work
 and with this quaint notion he also ac- quires an exceedingly exaggerated idea of the terrific amount of grinding labor a man has to perform in order to pain livelihood ashore. Put to a bluejack- ct who has put in a couple of naval cruises the direct question, Are you going to ship over when your time is out?" and in nine eases out of ten he will look you in the eye with an express sion of stupefaction, and inquire:
 What do you think I'm going to do--- work?"
 Overtime men being shipped back to this country on a man-of-war are not compelled to do any of the ships work; they simply stand the military calls, eat their meals and smoke their pipes, watching the while with lazy happiness the daily round of labor of the less for tunate bluejackets attached as mem- bers of the crew of the ship on which they themselves are practically passen-
 gers. The overtime men occasionally emit arrogantly humorous directions to these temporary sipmates, the ships
 company of the boat that is hauling them home. 'G'wan, now, an shine up that bright work, ye longtime swab!" they will shout to a deckhand when the officer of the deck is aft and out of hearing, and, "Git down to your bum ker ye grimy flatfoot and rake out your coal!" is the kind of thing the man of the black gang below hears from the | passengers whenever he tries tC
 smoke a peaceful pipe on the togal- l lant fo'c'stle.
 One of the immemorial customs of the navy jacks is to secrete in the ditty bag of the discharged shipmate who is about to go ashore a can of corned beef few potatoes and, perhaps, one or two other articles of sea food. This | is done in order to remind the dis l charged man when he opens his bag ashore that in the opinion of his ship 1 mates he will be unable to earn enough to eat on land if he takes it into
 his head not to ship over, and that they l have. therefore, taken a small measure 1 to shield him from starvation with a | little navy grub whenHhe has spent his payday" Discharged men try all sorts
 of schemes to keep this stuff from be- 1 ing placed in their bags, but, neverthe-
 less they nearly always find it there
 when they get ashore.-Washingt Star. z

LNCONCLUsIYE.

It is not at all surprising to read that the conference on the peace question held yesterday afternoon between the President and M. Cambon was "incon- elusive" Spain has habit of being inconclusive, and it is almost impossi- ble for her to be anything else. But she will have to be conclusive for once in her life, and the sooner she becomes so the better for all concerned. Let us hope that the "manana' she said yesterday really means to-day. If there is going to be an exhibition of the famous Spanish diplomacy there will be an exhibition of weariness in this country that will startle the Span ish diplomats.
