Journey up the Nile when the inlnd;-

The voyage forms perfect introduc-

gests to the observant mind (meaning
you and me) the real nature of mud as
nothing else on earth that l know of
can suggest it, for in Egypt you get
your phenomenon isolated, as it were,
from all disturbing elements.
You have no rainfall to bother you,
no local streams, no complex denuda

does everything. On either hand
stretches away the bare desert, rising
up in gray, rocky hills. Down the
midst runs the one long line of allu-
vial sOil--in other words, Nile mud
which alone allows cultivation and life
in that rainless district The country
crops are raised on it, the houses and
villages are built of it, the land is
manured with it, the very air is full
of it. The crude brick buildings that

A Stage Irishman's Story.

Joe O'Gorman, the capital Irish
comedian-a real Irish comedian, and
not an impossible creature, fourishing
a shillelagh-has been singing songs,
dancing and telling stories at the Al
hambra in London. Mr.. O'Gorman
has an imaginary friend, Flanagan, in
the wings, and Flanagan is the hero
Of every tale. 1t once happened that
Flanagan was in decidedly 'low wa
ter" SO he asked circus proprietor
to give him work. "Our largest lion
died last week." said the lord of the
arena, "but we kept his skin, and il
you like to get into it and be shown
as a real live lion you can have the
Job" Flanagan agreed. At the first
show the circus proprietor stepped
into the cage and said: Ladies' and
gentlemen, to prove the dGcility Of
this roaring lion, I'll order him into
the same cage as fcroc;ous tiger!'
Flanagan protested, but the circus
proprietor threatened to run him
through with a sword, SO poor Flan-
agan was driven into the same cage
as the tiger. He fell upon his knees
and cried Spare metz Then the fe-
rocious tiger jumped to his feet and
answered, aye needn't he afraid O
me. Sure, I'm an Irishman myself"

THE COUPLER BILL.
How 1t Was Passed in Congress BY
Hon. John Lind,

The Minneapolis Journal Of a few
evenings ago contained the following
letter telling how John Lind when in
Congress got the Coupler BilV passed
for the safety and protection OF rail
road men:
Minneapolis, Oct. %, 1902.
Editor of The Journal:
knowing that The Journal reaches
the homes of more railroad men than
any other paper, kindly permit me to
recite few facts taken from the Con-
gressional Record Of the fifty-seventh
congress, second session, page 1866
and following, showing Honorable
John Lind's position and work in con-
nection with II. r. $3.50, known as the
automatic coupler bill, which, through
his efforts, became law and has now
gone into effect on all the railroads in
the United States. spent some time
examining the record and reviewing
the rocky road that this bill encoun-
tered while pending In the house and
the devices adopted by it's opponents
to defeat it. From the time it was
taken up in the house until its final
passage, it was strenuously opposed
at every stage. The record shows
that Mr.. Lind took the floor at 2
o'clock p. m. and held it continuously
through the night until $50 the next
morning, parrying and defeating
scores and scores Of dilatory motions
and motions to adjourn. At the latter
hour the opponents Of the bill had to
give up, as its friends were reinforced
by the members returning for the
next days work and the passage Of
the bill was accomplished. One can
not help admiring the intelligence, the
tcnacity of purpose and parliament
tary skill displayed by Mr.. Lind in
managing this important measure
rand securing its passage.
We may differ from him in poll
ties, but no railroad man can look
upon Mr.. Lind in any other light than
as friend and as a man who has
contributed more Of his time and in
telligence to the saving Of life and
limb, and making our occupation as
safe as modern appliances permit, in
a greater degree than any other man
in public life. Nor can any fair mind
ed man withhold tribute of admira-
ton and respect for his genius and
liability in guiding this bill through the
house and securing it's passage. 1t
has saved annually an army of lives.
After the passage Of the bill Mr..
/ Lind received congratulatory tele-
grams on his success from p. NJ.

motive Engineers, Il. P. Sargent Of
the Brotherhood of Locomotive Fire
men, Samuel Gompers Of the Trade
and Labor Council, J. Kelliher Of the
Railway Carmen, w. p. Daniels Of

it was conceived, as he knows that If
he votes for it he certainly will not
return to parliament.
Some say that Mr.. Balfour will not
be able to force it through the house,
in spite Of the size Of his Tory major
ity, but this seems unlikely. The par
ty whip is used with great vigor, and
Mr.. Chamberlain has had the Liberal
Unionists meet him, and has declared
that they must swallow the bill. 1t
must be dose for himself, for in 1870
he was the leader of the most extreme
Dissenters against even Mr.. Forster's
far more moderate measure. But he
has swallowed so many Of his former
principles and convictions that it does
not cost him much to get this one
down also.
The Dissenters are quite angry with
the Irish members for not voting
against the bill. AS most Of them are
Catholics, and all Of them represent
Catholic constituencies who believe
that religious teaching is of the first
importance, and that it should be i'm
parted by representatives of the
church, they hardly can go against the
Tory measure on the grounds taken by
the English Dissenters. Mr.. John Dii-
lon made an effort to relieve the meas.
ure Of some of the needlessly offensive
features during the last session, but
with no success. But naturally the
Irish members must vote for what
they think the highest interest of the
children affected by the measure,
whatever the English Dissenters
think. 1t is not their business to
make themselves complacent to Eng
, land. To do so would be to weaken
the practical argument for Home
Rule. Their part in Westminster Is
to make themselves burden to every
English party, until all see the wis
dom of asking the Irish to manage
their own affairs in Dublin parlia-
ment, and let English alone.
The English Dissenters declare they
will resist the collection of school
rates under the bill, if it should no.
come a law Many of them are for
ward in this who We're very severe
in their censure of the Plan of Cau,-
paign, by which Irish tenants COM
bined to refuse to pay rent except uu.
der specified conditions. They thought
the plan was dishonest and immoral; {;
yet the right Of the local government
to the school rate is just as good as is
that Of landlord to his rent. Coler-
idge was once arguing with Quaker
about the refusal of the Society Of
Friends to pay church rates and
tithes. "You admit" he said, that
the state defines the rights of proper
ty, and that If it declared that some-
thing you have been owning was no
longer yours, but mine, you would
have to give it up without resistance?''
"Yes, friend Coleridge. / admit that.
Suppose. then. that the state says
that some part of your property be-
longs to the rector of your parish, are
you to refuse it to him?'' "Nay, friend;
thou savorest of carnal reasoning. If
the refusal of tithes and rates be just.
ihable, then the refusal of rents un-
justly levied is every bit as justifia-
ble."

"Mr. Diggles," said the boy with big
ruffles on his shoulders, Il wish you
would let me come and see where you
live. l want to look at your room.'
Why, certainly. But what made yoh
think of that?" "My sister said that
it was better than your company, so
I thought it must be something fine"

Meanwhile England is going to be
torn by the bitterest dissension that
she has seen for q century; and while
sects fight over the best education pol.
icy, the English boy is outstripped not
only by the American and the Ger
man, but by the Irish and the Scotch
boy Of his age.

the Railway Conductors; also from
Frank Sweeney, G. ID. Buchanan, III.
Warner, William A. Simsrot and
Charles Parson. A sample telegram
from Il. S. Ingraham Of the Brother
hood of Locomotive Engineers, which
appears in the record, expresses the
feelings Of the engineers at that time
on the Importance of that measure.
"The locomotive engineers of Amer
ica are watching with no slight de-
gree of solicitude the action of con-
grcss on the coupler bill, believing
that if passed it will be a potent
factor in reducing the number Of
p'oycs. The hundreds of thousands
of men in the service will hold to a
strict accountability the senator or
representative who, by his voice and
vote, shows that he has no care for
the life and well-being Of this great
class Of faithful but long-suffcring
men.
Ct. S. Ingraham."
Mr.. Lind needed no watching. His
heart was as loyal to our cause as his
ability was sufficient to further it.
My only excuse for writing this
letter is the information that has
come to me that outside interests and
men from Washington, d. G., have
been brought here for the purpose
of influencing the railroad men of this
district against the candidacy Of Mr..
I4ind's return to congress.

The Proposed Heavy Assessments.

According TO the report of the Senate
District committee accompanying the per-
sonal tax bill. Washington Is destined in
the near future TO become one OF the most
heavily assessed cities in the United States
The committee figures that when the new
assessment, now in progress, is completed
the real estate revenues will amount to
A,JOO."Oo. which will mean a minimum val
Uation Of S;OO0OOOOO In real property this
sum To be increased in proportion to the
amount of agricultural property in the
county which Is taxed al less than the
city rate. 1t is likewise estimated that the
proposed personal tax law will yield a
revenue OF 81 100000. which will stand for
total assessment of personal property of
approximately So, 100000. This will give a
grand total of at least s367 900 900 of as
sessed values for Washington. which will
show interesting results when compared
with other cities.
According to the Municipal Journal and
Engineer. which recently published some
interesting statistics OF municipal finances
the total assessed values real and personal
or certain cities. comparable in some de-
gree with Washington in point of size
were as follows in round figures: Cleve-
land, sli9oo0OO0: Buffalo. s245 100000: San
francisco, S+OoOOO.o 900; Cincinnati s2O6 900
"S; Pittsburg, SSJO.0OO. 900: New Orleans
Sl46.o0.oO; Detroit. s2i4 10000; Mnwau-
kee, SloI .oOo.0oO: Newark, $4,000, ,OCO; Jer-
sey City So, 100000; Louisville. SI2O. 600 600.
Minneapolis. S1OO.OoO,OOO. Thus il Is 10 be
seen that Washington, with S36I 600 600
overtops all Of these save San Francisco
which. with a much larger population and
great manufa ctu uring and shipping estab-
Iishment. is assessed. according to these
figures. at only .33.OOo,oOO more than the
capital
According to the census statistics of 1890
the cities of Brooklyn. Buffalo, Omaha
Denver. Des Moines. Seattle Kansas City.
Kas-. Sioux City, Jersey City. Rochester
Albany and Syracuse were assessed in the
aggregate on personal property only at
$50. .lS5OSO. or less than it is now proposed
Washington alone shall be assessed on this
Item. Further comparisons. on the basis OF
these same statistics. are instructive. even
though the figures given are ten years old.

Punish the Brutes!

That was a wise action Of the police
court judge who. despite the sufferers re-
fusal to prosecute, yesterday gave the limit
of the law to a negro brute who had slash
ed a woman with knife. Too often the
courts respect the sentimental wishes of
the victims of such creatures and dismiss
complaints which the community's rep
resentatives should vigorously press. OF
course, II the victim Of an assault refuses
to enter court to testify and there Is no
other evidence Of the offense, the court
can do nothing. But often there are
other witnesses. competent to prove the
charges. and their statements should suf-
fee to send the slashers and whippers to
the workhouse or jail. 1t Is well known
by the police that the complaints In such
cases are frequently Withdrawn through
fear of more severe punishment. When
that is suspected no pains should be spared
to bring such inhuman wretches into court
so that those who beat women or who use
their razors Unfortunately In melees
