1.-THE Third district was not
Cummins district last year." says the
Sioux City journal, land in view Of
this fact it may be believed that there
are partisans in the state who will
confess to difficulty in understanding
how it was possible for the district
this year to pull out three fat nomin-
ations-one third of the total number
put up. Nothing here will be under
tax en- to help such people in the dl.
lem ma in which they find themselves
unless it is to suggest the merits Of
stat esmanship and the need, recog-
nized at Des moines, of harmony.
There are very many repub icansin

and things, uninfluenced by small
and narrow considerations, who will
join The Journal in extending con-
gratulations to the Third district" "

MILITARY RESERVES.

The speech of President Roosevelt
to the New Jersey national guard
last week sounded a note of encour-
agement to all national guardsmen.
The president strongly favors the re-
organization of the national guard in
a way to promote Its efficiency and to
permit it's closer association with the
regular army.
The militia bill which passed the
House on June 80 was framed in ac-
cordance with recommendations and
suggestions of the President and Sec
retary of War, and was approved by a
majority of the national guard Or

army as the first line OF defense, m a. kes

Twenty tons of machinery for the
sisal plantation at Sisal, Oahu, started
down the railroad yesterday and with
in thirty days the first crop Of sisal
will be taken off the companys 5OO-acre
plantation. The machinery arrived this
week from the coast and only yesterday
was loaded into cars of the Oahu Rail-
way for shipment. The machinery con-
sists of a decorticator and baling press
and the same viii be set up at once in
buildings already erected. The mill has
been up for sometime.
Manager Turner of the plantation
was in town yesterday and states that
the plant has a capacity of one ton
per day and the probabilities are that
the company will run it for at least six
continuous months, working six days
a week. In this time about 124 tons
would be prepared for market, or about
2SS.000 pounds. The present price for
sisal, f. o. b. San Francisco wharves, is
101a cents per pound No effort will be
made to work overtime, but a steady
output will be maintained. The cutting
of the sisal plants does not touch the
roots and the centers are unfolding
steadily after each cutting.
Manager Turner states that there is
a good demand for sisal and even over
lures have been received from as dis
tant point as London for advices con-
corning the Hawaiian output.
The process if shredding the sisal
plants is simple. They are put into
the decorticator which shreds them
After drying the product is put into the
press and baled, all taking place the
same day.

ROME AND ITS REIGNING SAGE.

Baltimore, April 6.-The silver jubi-
lee of Pope Leo XIII was observed
by solemn and unusually elaborate
services at the cathedral today The
ceremony was marked by the presence
of two cardinals. Cardinal Martinelli, the
apostolic delegate, who came over from
Washington last night to take part in the
services, pontificated. and Cardinal Glib
bons preached the sermon. Notwithstand-
ing the inclemency of the weather a large
congregation was present.
The cardinal briefly outlined the per-
sonal and ecclesiastical history of Leo
XIII, dwelling especially on his encycli-
calls, OF which he said:
The first encyclcal to which ! allude is
on Christian marriage. which was pub
lished in 1880. The holy father INDICATED
in strong and earnest language the unity,
the sanctity and the indissolublity of the
marriage bond. He tells us that the mar
ried couple are the source of the family,
the family is the source of society.
Social life cannot be maintained in its
purity and integrity unless it is sanctified
at the mountain head of the home.
The encyclical on the condition of work
men was promulgated in 1891, and is an
exhaustive document on the rights and
duties of the Iaboring classes Never did
the redeemer of mankind confer greater
temporal blessing on humanity than by
ennobling and sanctifying manual lanor
and by rescuing il from the degradation
which has been attached to it. Christ
comes into the world not surrounded by
the pomp and splendor of an imperial
majesty, but he appears as the reputed
son of an artisan. is not this the car
penter, the son of Nary the people salu
to him.
He has shed halo around the work
shop and has lightened the workman
tools by assuming the trade of an artisan

or of a prelate can be dignitied by the
examples of a Washington, Carrol ana
a Taney, how much more is the calling OF
a mechanic ennobled by the example OF
Christ.

allude, appeared in 1888: ana treats oI

church can adapt itself to all forms OF

SEARCH FOR A LOST MINE.
Interest in an Attempt to Relocate
the 'Lost Frenchman"
Nos Angeles Expressly

Who has not heard of the Lost
Frenchman' mine? Like that of equal
| celebrity. known as the "Pegleg,7 it
has had many inquirers. Years ago,
the story goes, three Frenchmen came
to America and scattered through the
southwest in search of mineral wealth.
One was fortunate enough to discover
a remarka Bile mine, from which ne took
a sack of almost pure gold and sailed
away to France. After visiting the old
home he returned and set forth into
the desert again. since which time
nothing has been heard of him.
Wonderful ores he had exhibited in
famed the minds of those who saw it,
and when he failed to return, not
doubling that he had met with death
at the hands of the Indians. or per-
ished from thirst or exposure. the pros
pectors of southern California began
to look around for some signs of his
remarkable mine. None of the men
who went out to hunt for it ever dis
covered the deposits, all traces of
which have long been lost.
Now, it is said, one of the French
mans friends knew of the discovery
and impaired the secret to man who
is in Mexican prison undergoing i'm
prisonment for some offense. which
prevents him from profiting from the
knowledge gained. A countryman, who
came recently from France, and who
is living temporarily at the house of
G. p Goytino in this city. is acquainted
with the prisoner. This has led To the
interchange of condolences which may
result TO the mutual advantage of all
concerned.
Cnder the laws Of Mexico, a person
who desires the offices of prisoner
may secure his release, il is said, on
payment of the penalty attached to his
commitment. 1t is possible that way
could be paved with cash for the re-
lease of a felon whose acts under or
binary circumstances would not be
punishable by the imposition of fine.
No doubt as entertained by Mr.. Coy
tino and his friend that some way can
be found Of getting the Frenchman
out Of the carcel long enough to en-
able them to visit the lost mine, the To-
cation of which he is willing to dis
