Judge Dorval's return on the noon
train Tuesday brought with It pleasant
surprise to the host Of friends here in his
home town. Not until the Judge and
his bride stepped from the train to the
depot platform had even the most
intimate friends of the family received
any intlmation Of the happy termination
that might be looked for of his tripto the
old home in Quebec. Cheerfulness
again reigns among the family of the
judge, who for two years have felt the
sadness and lonliness of their lot. Tues
day evening Judge and Mrs. Dorval
were serenaded by the Langdon K. of p,

friends at their home up on the hill.
The wedding occurred on the 18th ult.,

neighbors and intimate friends of
the Dorvals, which in itself peculiarly
makes the union happy ono. Long
life and happiness to the Judge and his

We wonder since having read OF the
gopher tax how the state expects tho
farmers who have their places surround
ed by uncultivated school and state
lands to dispose OF the gopher nuisance
to the same degree that their neighbors
can who have farms surrounded on all
sides by cultivated lands. 1t does not
seem that the new law shows the
impartiality that naturally might be
looked for on the part ofour!aw makers.
1t is only fair that the state be expected
to do its share by keeping the pest
from multiplying on the state land,
where they thrive, and when old
enough swoop down and destroy the
crop OF the unfortunate farmer whose
place happens to be near by. Ii the
state does it's share and the land of this
county continues to be put under
cultivation at the present rate the
ravages of the gopher will soon be a
thing OF the past.

The Poor Heath en-.

From the Baltimore American.
Let us 20 and find the heather; let us
take him by the hand;
Let us take his evil from him; let us
also take his land;
Let us break il to him gently that it's
wrong to be so nude,
And inculcate proper notions of the style
as it's pursued.
Let us show him all the glories of the
white mans kingdom come,
And. by way OF introduction, sell him lots
of white mans rum.
Let US seek our heather brother in be-
nighted lands afar,
And impress him with the wrongness OF
his habits as they are;
Let us guide him slowly, surely. till he's
nobly civilized,
And has banished all his folbies, all his
fances, so despised;
Let us show him how he's destined TO go
forward with a jump,
Lest our grand. resistless progress takes
him 'midship with a bump.
Let us teach him that the bolo and the
dagger are not right,
When the seven-shooter follows up It's
barking with a bite;
Let us bring to him the gospel of the
shirt and full-dress suit,
And the gad and glorious tidings OF the
proper shoe or boot.
Let us lift the poor old heather from
the hog wherein he sticks,
And explain TO him the beauties OF the
game of politics.
Thus wen labor with the pagan till he
understands our ways
And will ponder with a shudder on his
old unhappy days.
We will stock his land with clothing, we
will dot # with golf links
And he'll hail the architecture of the
home OF fancy drinks;
And Wen get the glory for it-for the
good that we will do
All the grand, impressive glory-and Wen
get his money, 100.

Old Job Pray.

Lord Rosebery will probably be surprised
to hear that he once dined off stolen
turkey-and that, too, stolen from a king
but (wrtes the London correspondent
of the New York Commercially such is
nevertheless the case. II happened that
when some years ago the future premier
of England was making a tour through
India a notification was sent to the civil
servant, who was the chief official at a
certain station, that the distinguished Wis
itor would visit the place on the follow
ing day, and that it would fall to his
lot to entertain him at dinner. In India
no dinner is considered complete without
a turkey, and the official at once sum-
moned his native butler and ordered him
to procure one for the morrow.
The officials residence was at some dis
lance from the town, and a few hours be-
fore the dinner was to take place the
butler appeared before his master with
grief-stricken face and, with many sa-
laams. informed him that. though on the
previous day he had ordered a turkey
to be sent out from the town according
to his masters instructions. it had not
arrived, and there was no time now to
send and fetch it.
Very we'll" said his master, who was
well acquainted with the ways of native
servants, that is your affair, not mine
I ordered the turkey, and it is your bust
ness to procure one. Remember, there
fore, that one is to be on the table at
the appointed time"
The butler salaamed again and went
away sorrowful. but resigned; and surely
enough, when the guests sat down to Ia
BILE a large turkey. of which Lord Rose
berry partook in due course. graced the
end of the board.
Next morning the official commended
the butler, and asked him where he had
procured the bird, when, to his indgna-
ton (Which was not, however unmixed
with amusemenO he found that the but
Ter, being at his wits end how to satisfy
his master, and knowing that there were
some turkeys in the compound of His
Majesty Theebaw, the ex-King of Bur-
nah. who was at that time living in en-
forced retirement in the neighborhood
had calmly caused one of that potentate's
birds to be distracted bribing the ex-
Kings butler to look the other way while
the deed was being accomplished. The
official, of course, promptly made good
the deficiency in His Majesty's compound
and as Lord Rosebery had already pro-
ceeded on his tour it is probable that he
does not know to this day that he dined
on that occasion off poultry.

QUAY'S VICTORY,

The editorials in most of the Philadel-
phia papers the morning after Senator
Quay's victory were very interesting.
These papers had been predicting his de-
feat Many of them said when the Senate
refused to seat him on the certificate of
the Governor of the state, that he was
politically dead, for the reason that he
never could get a Legislature that would
send him to the Senate again. He is in
the Senate again and now the papers are
explaining.
1t is doubtful If Senator Quay could
have won such a victory in any other
state than Pennsylvania There is no
other state in which there is the same
degree of rottenness in politics. 1t is adj
mitted by all parties that both the House
and the Senate of the Legislature con-
tanned majority against Senator Quay,
and yet he won. Five Democrats helped
him to get control of the organization of
the House and with the PATRONAGE thus
secured no got the votes of seven Repub-
leans, who had been elected on a pledge
TO vote against him for Senator What
considerations other than patronage ne
used to get votes if any, is not known.
The Hon John Wanamaker cannot be
feeling very happy these days. and there
are other eminent Pennsylvania Republi-
cans who are not in a mood to congratu-
late Senator Quay on his victory They
would rather cross the street than meet
him face to face.
There Is no doubt that Senator Quay is
one of the most astute politicians in the
country. In fact Ii is doubtful if there
is his equal He may not be a states
man. but there is no smarter man in the
Senate. And there is no one who is more
serviceable in helping his friends or in
protecting the interests of his state One
of the reasons why he was able to mar
shall so strong a force for his reelection
was that the great industrial interests of
the state felt that they could not send to
the Senate any one who could serve them
better if so well. Having overcome such
obstacles as he has the chances are that
he will remain in the Senate for the re-
mainder of his life.

brandy ms a Temperance DRINK.

Senator Perkins. of California, made his
colleagues laugh yesterday. when he en-
deavored TO secure the passage of a bill
which adds cherries and figs to the fruits
from which brandy can be distilled, says
the Washington Post. Senator Pettigrew
had objected to the consideration of the
measure.
The BILL" said Mr.. Perkins, with APP
parent sincerity, simply gives the horti-
cutturiste of California an opportunity 20
make temperance drinks from the syrups
OF cherries and figs
Il don't know that they grow cherries
in California" still insisted Mr.. Pettigrew.
Cherries grow in California In great
profusion," was Mr.. Perkins reply. TT
is the first state of the Union in produc-
ing cherries" And then, to piacate Mr.
Pettigrew, he laughingly described the
virtues of cherry pectoral, and promised
the South Dakota Senator all the cherry
trees he wanted.
But Pettigrew would not relent. 81
don't believe that these are temperance
drinks" he said. and so the bill could not
be passed

ENGLAND ALARMED.

The English people are more alarmed
by the threatened loss OF trade than by
the situation in South Africa. They
feel confident that they will win in South
Africa. 1t is only a question OF men and
money, both of which they have. The
trade question is another and far more
serious matter. With the loss of trade
goes the empire. There is no doubt about
that. And trade is slipping away from
England Germany is getting some of il,
but this country is Englands chief COM
petftor.
In his speech at the banquet OF the
Wolverhampton Chamber of CommeXce on
Wednesday evening last, Lord Rosebery
voiced the feelings of the English people
relative to the inroads which the United
States are making on the commerce OF
Great Britain. He pointed out that com
binations of capital in the United States
were producing articles for less than they
were being produced in England-very
much less-and that of most of these ar
ticles England has had A monopoly, prac-
tically, in the markets of the world from
time immemorial.
Lord Rosebery also pointed out the al
most immeasurable and inexhaustible re-
sources Of the United States, and com
mented on the probability that their pop
ulation would be 100000 inside OF
twenty years. With such a population,
vast resources and almost limitless
wealth. win England be able to keep the
pace which they will set for her? That
is the question thoughtful Englishmen are
asking, and the answer they themselves
make TO it is by no means pleasing TO
them.
Already European governments are look
ing to this country for the means with
which TO meet their obligations. England,
| Russia and Germany have all been bor-
rowers in New York within the last three
months, and there are reports that Ger
many is seeking another loan of $780,
100000 in that city 1t is only a question
of a little time when New York viii be
the money center of the world.
Last year our exports were worth in
money over $500 100000 more than our inn
ports. At the rate of $500, 100000 a year
| now long Will IL take to collect the gold
of the world in our vaults? And we are
preparing to manufacture the greater por-
ton of our cotton crop and to do our own
ocean carrying trade. When England loses
those two sources of income, not taking
| into account the fact that her supply of
| coal is running low her public men will
| have occasion to express more gloomy
views than those to which Lord Rose
berry gave utterance.
Lord Rosebery thinks England should
send her young men abroad to learn the
| best her rivals know. That is a good idea,
but the United States are making new
inventions all the time. They are stead
lily advancing. If English youths should
visit them to learn the secrets of their
success would not England still be far in
the rear on their return home? She GER
tainly would. If she cannot invent new
processes for herself It will benefit her
but little to get from her rivals the best
they know. The outlook for England from
the standpoint of trade is certainly not
encouraging
