LANDS FOR HoMEsEEKERs,

7 At a banquet of the Illinois Manu-
facturers Association in Chicago the
other evening, President James ]. Hill
of the Great Northern Railway said:
I'm the past the public domain suited
to the cultivation of the soil, produc-
ing every useful crop, has furnished
homes for the multiplying population.
To-day we have about reached the
limit of our public domain which can
be made to furnish homes for an in
telligent and enterprising population"
That this is true is very well under
stood, and it is being used in Congress
as an argument in favor of entering
upon the extensive and expensive
scheme of irrigating the arid and
semi-arid lands of Arizona, New Mex
leo and other Western sections. 1t is
claimed that the lands which would
thus be brought into condition to be
cultivated are needed for settlers and
homeseekers.
But is there really a need at this
time for the reclamation of these arid
and semi-arid lands at the prodigeous
cost to the federal treasury that would
necessarily be involved in the irriga-
ton scheme? To put the plans of the
irrigation advocates into operation
would require the expenditure of hun
dreds of millions of dollars. The con-
structiOn of an isthmian canal would
be minor undertaking as compared
with it. The immediate section of the
arid lands would be immensely bene-
fitted, of course, but are first-rate va
cant lands needed badly enough to
warrant the cost to the government?
If there were no other good lands
available the answer would of course,
be in the affirmative. But take a
glance at the South. Here there are
millions of acres, awaiting the coming
of industrious homeseekers. They need
no artificial irrigation. A benehcent
nature has provided them with an
abundance of water, and a climate
that is exceptionally favorable. The
every vegetable product of the temper
ate zone. Soil and climate conspire
together to make the Southern farm
less expensive of operation than the
farm in the sections where billiards.
kill and hot winds scorch and burn.
1t is to the South, therefore, that at
tention should be first given. There is
room here for millions of industrious
tillers of the soil.

His Dying Revenge.

you never knew Jsck Clancy? No?
Wen. listen now. and I'll tell you how
he went to the Saints" said the quarry
superintendent. according to the New
York Tribune. He was a fine, big
man, well liked by the boys. He had
a good time living, barring an occa-
sional experience at home, and when
he died everybody regretted it, except,
perhaps, his wife, Mrs. Honoriah En-
incline Clancy, who was Miss Norah
Emma Brody before she took up with
Clancy. Twas a great courtship. but
Clancy won out in the end, and money
changed hands on the outcome. Clancy
lived five years after his marriage, but
no man or woman ever heard him COM
plain. One day Clancy crept back to
see why a fuse hadn't reached, and
rock caved his ribs in. The doctor
told him he had to die, and he took it
without a twitch to his eyes. He lay
still a minute, and then he called his
best friend, Red Shaughnessy, to him.
Red told me afterward how it went.
Red. said he, weak as a kitten, but
smiling. I'm goin' to dol
Jack, said Red, we are
Red. said Clancy, we've allus been
me best frind. Will We promise me
wan thing that yen do fer me afther
I'm gomez
'Thot l WILL answered Shaughnes-
sy, with a weep in his voice.
Then Clancy said: There's a thing
thot's long been layin' HWY on me
sowl, Red. Do ye moind Tim Grim
nian?'
." Him 1 do said Red He put the
dirthy wur-rd av spite upon We whin
We took from him the prisint Mrs.
Clancy and married her.
He did thot, Red said Clancy
weaker and weaker. 'Norah is visitin
her rich conthractin' brother in the
city now, and perhaps tbs betther So
Red, | said no word, nor did / aVen

" Thin, listhen close now, Red said
Clancy, clear and straight in his
words. 'Tis no knockin' off av blocks

'Thot 1 will. so hip me the saints"
swore Shaughnessy.
Clancy pressed his hand. The

Personal.

1t is announced that Mark Twain,
who chivalrously paid off all the debts
of the Inflated publishing firm of
Charles l.. Webster & Co, has not only
recovered all the lost ground, but is
worth more money to-day than ever be-
fore. His success is attributed largely
to the wise and unselfish advice of his
friend, H. H. Rogers, the Standard Oil
magnate.
William P. Fowler, a wealthy man
of Boston refuses his $1,000 salary as
registrar of public institutions. He is
also treasurer of all the Unitarian chart
ties in Boston under the supervision
of the Benevolent Fraternity of
Churches, in which Rev. Edward Ev-
erett Hale, Paul Revere rockingham
and John Mason Little are interested.
Mr. Fowler performs an immense
amount of work in connection with his
position, but does not receive any sal
airy.
The New York Tribune says that
Bishop Taylor of the Methodist Church
who died on May Is at Palo Alto, Cal,
had for over half a century slept with
his head pillowed upon stone. He
generally carried the stone in a satchel,
and always laid his head upon it at
night Wherever ne was, thus literally
carrying out the words of the hymn:
MY rest a stone" A Baltimore cler-
gyman says that on one occasion the
Bishop visited him when the tempera-
ture was far below zero, and that the
Bishop slept in the room with all the
windows thrown UP and with his head
on the stone.
British Consul Wyndham of Chi
rae hac g. l.,
that ne never said that all Englishmen
coming there are lazy and worthless
He says that in a report to his home
government there was a paragraph to
the effect that many Englishmen that
are lazy and worthless come to
America and create bad impressions,
and he naively adds: "Consuls are
brought into contact with the worst of
their people in a foreign country, and
l am in better position to know about
the lazy and worthless ones than the
successful Englishmen in Chicago"

MIR. cLEvELANp.s REAPPEARANcE

| Some surprise is expressed that for
mer President Cleveland should consent
10 appear at a political gathering and
make a speech after so long a silence.
He has declined to attend political
gatherings ever since he left the White
House. There have been occasions
when he has been importuned to say
good word for this or that candidate,
hut he has invariably refused. He has
taken the position that he was out of
politics and desired to keep out.
The place at which he has consented
to appear is the Tilden Club, in New
York City, and the time is June 49, The
Tilden Club is a comparatively new in
stitution. Its leaders are men who
were at one time prominent in Tam
many. but drew out of that organiza-
ton on account OF differences with Mr.
Croker.
1t is their purpose to have on June 10
a gathering of many of the most prom
inent Democrats of the country. The
club it seems has two things in view.
One is to bring Democratic factions to-
gether and heal all differences between
them. and the other is to find a states
man capable of leading the party thus
reunited.
1t will be admitted that the club is
very ambitious. 1t will be successful
in its undertaking. however, if good
wishes are sufficient to make il so.
There will be difficulty in bringing
about harmony, but there ought not to
be any difficulty in finding a capable
leader.
We do not suppose that Mr.. CIeve-
land accepted the invitation to be pres
ent with the hope that he would be
the clubs choice for a leader. He has
too much good sense to entertain a
thought of that kind, and yet there
have been hints that he is ambitious
TO figure in public life again. No doubt
his purpose in accepting the invitation
was TO assist. as far as was in his pow
er. in harmonizing the factions of the
party
Former Senator Hill. Mr.. Bryan, Mr..
Olney and dozens of others of the lead
ing men of the party are expected to
be present, and IL is not at all i'm
probable that something will be done to
bring about more harmonious feeling
in the party. 1t is safe to say, how
ever, that the temperance of Mr..
Cleveland does not mean that he hopes
or thinks that he has the ability and
party. He will disappear from the pub
lie gaze as soon as the harmony meet
ing at the Tilden Club is over. Does
it not seem little strange that DEM
ocratic club of New York City that is
at outs with Tammany should under
take the role of party peacemaker?

RcconciIed 10 Knighthood.

When Sir George started on the voy-
age to England which ended in his ac-
cepting knighthood, no one supposed
that he would return otherwise than
as plain Mr.. Dibbs, says the Manches-
ter Guardian. When the surprising
news was telegraphed to Australia that
Mr. Dibbs was Sir George, the new
knights popularity was at stroke al .
most gone among that class of coloni-
ais whose opinion makes the accept
ance of a title SO doubtful an advan-
tage. With his star thus fallen from
the zenith Sir George started to re-
turn to Sydney. A kindly fate had
prompted him to return by the United
States. He reached Chicago. Inter-
viewers awaited his displeasure.
80, Sir George" said one of them in
effect, trying for an opening. you
have come to see how we do things in
Chicago"
"Chicago!" roared the knight. "d-n
Chicago"
The interview ended there. An unim-
aginative person might have said that
there had been no interview. But the
Chicago papers published their inter-
views none the less, under the head
ings such as these: Interview with
Sir George Dibbs." HE says, 'D-n
Chicago.
This interview, in it's turn, was tele-
graphed to Australia and when Sir
George arrived there he found himself
after ALL high in the affections of the
people as Oh Chicago DibbS."

PROGRESS OF THE COAL MINERS
STRIKE.

There is no particular reason for
taking a gloomy view of the strike now
in progress in the anthracite coal re-
gion. There have been such strikes
heretofore, and doubtless there will
continue to be strikes of that kind
as long as coal is mined Some of the
business men of New York city seem
to be greatly alarmed. They are
afraid that pretty nearly all kinds of
business will be embarrassed before
the strike is ended. The Board of
Trade of that city asked the President
to interfere for the purpose of settling
the strike by arbitration, but it seems
that the law under which 1t asked him
to act has been repealed. The only
law under which he could now inter-
fere is a part of the interstate com
to take steps in the direction of arbi-
tration when there is trouble between
railroads and their employees. The
President therefore has declind to in
terfere in the trouble between the coal
miners and coal operators. 1t is prob
able that there will be a great deal of
violence before the strike is ended. The
miners will get impatient if the
settlement is delayed long time, and
they will become anxious and restless
if the operators succeed in keeping
their pumps going, thus preventing the
flooding of the mines.
The feeling against j. Pierpont Nor
gan among the miners appears to be
bitter, a statement having been pub
lished that he had taken the position
that no concessions were to be made
to them under any circumstances.
1t is now asserted that there was no
authority for that statement.
OF course, if the strikers should sue
coed in getting the soft coal miners to
strike also the situation would become
very serious. 1t would not take long
to exhaust the coal supply, and then
there would be pretty general tie
up of the industries Some of the
soft coal miners in West Virginia
have gone out" but it is not believed
that a majority of them will do So
OF course the situation is serious,
but not alarming. One great ground
of uneasiness is the danger of strikes
in other great fields of industry. If
violence can be prevented in the coal
region it is probable that this danger
will not become very great.

Music had no charm to sooth the saw
age breast in the case of Mr.. and Mrs
Strang of Camden, N. J. In the divorce
court Mrs. Strang testified that her
husband swore at her. In an effort to
calm him she sang as he .swore Her
singing. she says. seemed to make him
all the more angry. and he took a stick
and tried to hit her with it. Mr.. Strang
said the singing was enough to drive
anyone to desperation. The judge
asked them If they didn't think they
could get along together if Mr. Strang
would quit swearing and Mrs. Strang
would quit singing. Each expressed a
willingness to try it. and the case was
dismissed.

Stories of the sad mistakes which

The other day an Eastern congress-
man received a letter from a lady in
his district who asked him to look af-
ter her nephew. He is a secretary in
the cabinet or something of the Sort
wrote the lady, and the congressman
finally found him acting as clerk to a
very subordinate official in the Treas
ury Department. The Capitol guides
tell the story of the woman who,
when told that the Vice President pre-
sided over the Senate, said that she al
ways wanted to see Bryan.
But Bryan is not Vice President"
explained the guide.

And there is still another story of
the woman visitor to the Capitol who
asked the name of the Secretary of
State.
Mr.. Hay was the reply.

surprise. That can't be, because Mr..
Hay is a member of the cabinet"
