onions in alternate rows. When the
onions grow up Il little they are so

THE FATE OF ANDREE.

No hopes are longer entertained that
DR.. Andree and his two companions
have survived their attempt to cross
the North Polar area in a balloon. Sir
Martin Conway voiced the general
opinion when he wrote in the new In
ternational Geography that IAN at
tempt by the Swedish engineer Andree
to cross the North Polar area in bal
loon must be classed with the mystic
rious tragedies of exploration"
Another effort will be made this sum-
mer. however. to ascertain the fate of
the explorers by following up the clue
that may be of some Importance. On
September IL last year a buoy was
picked up on the north coast of King
Charles Land, 50 degrees north lati-
tude. and % degrees east longitude.
which bore the words on a nickel
plate: "Andree's Polar Expedition. 3"
1t was taken to Stockholm unopened
and there it was proved to be what
Andree had called the North Pole
Buoy. 1t was the buoy in which he
was to place n message and drop it
when he passed the North Pole
1t was opened in the presence of sew
eral Arctic experts and members of the
government, but no message was found
in it. There was Il coating inside the
tube that seemed to resemble paper
but 4 microscOpical examination show
ed that it was a growth of algae. The
experts agreed that it could not have
drifted from the neighbOrhOOd of the
pole to King Charles Land. There ap-
peared TO be no reason why it should
have been thrown out empty and the
view forced itself upon all that it was
part of the wreckage of the expe-
tItiOn.
This is the clue which it is proposed
TO follow up. 1t is thought that the ex-
petition may have come to grief not far
from the place where the buoy was
found. Next summer a Swedish-Rus-
sian expedition is to 90 to Spleen
bergen to relieve the party that has
been spending a number of months
there in the work of measuring an arc
of the meridian in that high latitude
The Swedish steamer that viii be part
of this expedition will make a detOur
to King Charles Land and carefully
explore the entire neighborhood for
further traces of the lost party. 1t is
thought to be highly probable that
more wreckage will be found and per
haps considerable light thrown upon
the fate of Andree and his men,

THE MURPHY RABIES.

The PheniX Gazette is Just now III
the throes Of very serious attack of
Murphy rabies. 1t needs the Pasteur
treatment for it. Everything that hap
pens has a Murphy significance to it
1t sees a Murphy victory in the re-
suit of republican primary elections in
one county and defeat of Murphyism
in another. An emplOye of the rail
road is announced TO take his family
east and it is Immediately construed
as possessing some significance in re
gard to the Murphy interests of the
railroad The drouth In Arizona has
been caused by the Murphys. while
those floods in the southern states are
no doubt regular Murphy affairs. In
fact we begin to suspect. according
to the Gazette. that Murphys are re-

a RELIABLE INFORMANT?'

THE JOurnal-Murphy Is noted for
finding ''slurs" at other people in other
papers. 1t says the Courier intended
to slur Attorney Jacks. and misquoted
him. The Courier intended nothing of
the sort, as the JOurnal-AIurphy we'll
knows. \ reliable gentleman who
heard the first part of Mr.. jack
speech. informed the reporter that Mr.
Jacks did say the sentence subjects
Of this country" although 1t was evi-
IDENTITY a slip of the tongue. The
Courier reporter did not hear the first
of the speech. but regards its inform
ant as more reliable by far than the
collared tOOter of the taxless. '-Cour-
Ter.
If our esteemed contemporary did
not not intend its remarks as n slur
then every one who read its report OF
| that convention was mistaken in its
motives. In its report no one else was
quoted as having given the infOrma-
ton about Mr.. Jacks speech. but the
article particularly referred to the
presence of hte reporter there in per
son.
Mr.. Jacks misrepresentation was
not the only one which appeared in
that report of the convention. Mr.
StOddard was also misrepresented in
his remarks in regard to financial af
fairs. Probably this was also obtained
from n reliable informant. though.

THE FAMINE IN INDIA.

Speaking of the famine in India and
of the amount required to keep an indi-
vidual there. DIR. Louis KlOpsch re-
Gently said:
twenty-five hundred million bushels
of corn were harvested in this country
last year. One million bushels out of
these bursting granaries will fill ten
ships, and the great life-saving fleet
will carry joy into India.
If you can't send dollars, send
cents. Remember, that cents will
support a life on day. One dollar will
keep Il man. woman or child, two
months from starvation. Ten dollars
Will save five lives for four months.
Forty cents will buy one bushel of
corn. One bushel of corn will support
one person twenty days Therefore,
40 cents promptly given, given now,
will save human life. Give what
you can Give quickly.
1t matters not that the famine is
due in some measure to the religious
superstitiOns of these benighted people.
They are starving and it is the duty
of those who have means to do so to
give them food. Nothing else could
do more than this toward removing
the superstitiOns by which these
heather are enthralled No nobler or
more effective missionary work could
be done"

of linotype exhibitions, and there can
be no more interesting exhibition

RAILWAY POSTAL CLERKS.
An Effort Being Made to Raise the
Wages of These Officers.

An Effort Being Made to Raise the
Wages of These Officers.
For eleven years, at each session of
congress, the 5000 railway postal
clerks have sought to obtain an in
crease OF salaries without avail. The
post office committee of the house has
now before it a carefully prepared bill
presented by the Railway Post Office
Clerks association. The bill has the
approval of the postmaster general
and all officials of the railway mail
service. The members OF the commit
tee, with but one or two exceptions,
are believed to ne well disposed toward
this bill and would report it favorably
but for the opposition of Chairman
Loud. The majority of the members
of the house are pledged to its passage
when presented. Speaker Henderson
was chief supporter of the PROPOSE
ton when on the floor, and he has
promised his further support. but
wants To postpone action until the
short session in order to avoid making
the necessary appropriation before the
fail elections.
Mr. Tawney is champiOning the
clerks bill. but Mr.. Loud has present
ed another bill, which is unsatisfac-
tory to the clerks. AS now arranged
the railway postal clerks are graded
in five classes. and paid per annum
as follows: First class, $500; second
class. $500: third class, $1,000; fourth
class. 1,150: fifth class, $1,000. In
1879 there We're but four classes. al
5000 $1,000. $1,000 and $1,4OO. The
clerks were better paid n quarter of
Il century ago than now. The clerk
in charge on the line between Chicago
and New York, with crew not to
exceed seven or eight men. was paid
81 400. while now he is paid but ST.
300. and has charge of n crew some
times numbering twenty men.

A DANGEROUS PRINCIPLE.

The Jerome Reporter remarks that
while all is quiet IN Kentucky i may
be only fair to state that the GOebel
election law is not a novelty in legisla
ton. \ legal wr.t..r in the Baltimore
Sun says the law has precedents in
other states-in Arkansas, in Ohio and
in Michigan. The GOebel law was in
pursuance of the constitution of Ken
lucky, which authorizes the legislature
to decide contested elections and pro-
vided board chosen from the legis-
lature to decide such contests. The
decision of this board was not to be
final, but was to be reported to the
legislature. The court of appeals has
just decided that the recent action
of the Kentucky legislature was con-
stitutional and not subject to review
by the court. The Arkansas constitu-
ton of 1868 gave the legislature the
same powers now possessed by the
kentucky legislature. and the consti-
tuition of Ohio and Michigan did the
same"
Admitting the correctness of all that
is said above. the fact remains that
never before in the history of any
state in the country was the will of
the people so flagrantly overridden as
it was through The operation of the
GOebel law in Kentucky. The result
there, where an undoubted plurality
vote of between 10000 and 10000 was
swept aside and n man who received
minority vote was declared elected,
has demonstrated beyond all dispute
1 the danger of the principle involved
/ in the law. If Ohio. Michigan and
Arkansas have such provision IN their
constitutions they should lose no time
in eliminating it. with the example
furnished by kentucky. No state car
afford to have Goebelism 1ncOrporat
ed in their constitution or laws with
out having a serious menace to the
underlying principles of republican
| government.

A MODIFIED RULING.
How Citizens of Town May Secure
Fuel for Domestic Purposes.


On February 10, 1900, the general
land office issued new rules govern
ing the use of timber by citizens of
the territory from non-mineral pub
lie lands. 1t is provided in Rule 3,
that settlers upon public lands and
other residents of the states and ter
ritories named may procure timber
free of charge from unoccupied, un-
reserved, non-mineral lands: strictly
for their own use, for fIrewood,- fenc-
ing. building or other agricultural
mining, manufacturing or domestic
purposes but not for sale or disposal
nor for use by other persons. The
cutting and removal of timber or lum-
Der eXceeding in stumpage value of 500
will not be permitted in any one year. :
This rule was ut first limited to
ranchers aud miners who had not suf-
ficient timber upon their claims for
their own use.
Special Agent Holsinger is now in
receipt of Il letter from the commits
sioner of the general land Office under
date of April 20. 1900. instructing him
that the department now holds that
citizens of Arizona. tOwnspeople rs
well as those living upon farms and
those operating and developing min
ing claims. are entitled to the free
use of timber. Also that residents of
cities and towns who are unable to
personally secure their supply of fuel
may appoint some agents who I'M
der the supervision of the special
agent. may cut and deliver the wood
for them.
The person authorized to cut for
the citizen must notify the special
agent of the general land office sta
toned in the territory and must cut
under his direction and supervision.
Special Agent HOlsinger is direct
ed to strictly inforce this rule and
vigorously prosecute persons who are
unwilling to comply with what the
department regards as a liberal and
reasonable porvision made especially
for their benefit 1t is desired that
timber he cut under direction or sup
ervision of the department agent in
order that strict account may be kept
of all wood cut and that no wastes
are committed and danger of forest
fires prevented

THE WAR Is OVER.

No more striking evidence that the
issues of the civil war are dead and
buried could be found than the fact
that General Thomas l. ROsser has
become a republican and Hpronounced
supporter of President Mckinley
The Baltimore American calls atten-
ton to the fact that less than ten years
ago General ROsser made a speech At
a banquet in that city which showed
that he was still at that time an ut
terly .unreconsructed' ex-cOnfeder-
ate. He not only Justified the rebel
lion Of the southern states, but assert
ed that the war had settled no issue
between the states. This speech, ii
will be remembered, created a con
siderable sensation throughout the
country, and was widely denounced
for its unpatriotic spirit. Even ex.
confederate veterans disapproved the
public utterance of such sentiments.
and reprOved General ROsser for stir
ring up old animosities.
Now General Rosser has shown such
evidence of sound and complete con
version and of patriotic loyalty that
he has been proposed as the republi-
can candidate for congress from the
Seventh congressional district of vir-
ginia. He has set forth in the follow
lowing statement his present views
of current issues:
I am an expansionist. and am in full
accord with the president of the
United States on all leading political
questions of the day. I believe that
the policy now being pursued by the

is wise. proper and patriotic. and 1 be
lieve that in the light of future de
velopments it will be as heartily ap-
proved of by the generation which fol

THE PORTO RICO ACT.

The change in public sentiment re-
garding the Porto Rican act, now that
its principles and underlying motives
are understood, has been remarkable.
People who month ago We're clamor-
ing for immediate free trade with
Porto Rico say frankly now that the
act as passed is vastly better and for
very important reasons. To have
established immediate free trade with
Porto Rico would have taken away
the easiest method of raising revenue
which that island must have. and
which it could otherwise only have
had by an internal revenue act-a tax
which would have been extremely
burdensome-o by direct contribution
from the treasury of the United States.
This absolutely necessary revenue
will now be supplied from the col
lections under the Porto Rfcan act on
all dutiable goods imported into the
United States from Porto Rico or into
Porto Rico from the United States
If this system of raising money is
unsatisfactory to Porto Ricans they
can put an end to it within a few
months if they desire. since the act
authorizes them to elect legislature
and specifically provides that al
tariff between the United States and
Porto Rico shall cease when that leg
islature shall provide the necessary
funds for sustaining the government
of Porto Rico. An equally important
result. however. of the enactment OF
this law. which retains a mere shadow
of tariff duties between Porto Ric,
and the United States, lies in the fac
that the right to determine matter.
of this character as they are reached
is retained by congress. and thus NJ
