Toronto Empire.
 Whenever there are popular disturb anccs in Europe the great American re- public is prompt in putting forward sug- gestions for the better government of the people concerned. In return for this at tention Europe is now interesting itself in the internal affairs of the United States. The decay of authority in the friends of good government. With a con- dition approaching anarchy in two States and mobs everywhere usurplng the func- tions of the courts, 1t Is plain that the is becoming world problem.

How the Tariff Protects Wool.

Providence Journal.
 The present increase in the substitution of cotton for wool in New England wool en mills is immediately encouraged by the availability of the mercerizing pro- cess, by which cotton fabric an be made to look enough like wool to deceive many: indeed, it is now said that some of the mills are about to make a cotton cloth for Overcoats in which there will he no wool whatever. But the adulteration of woolens, though notably increasing just now. has been practiced to considerable extent ever since the Dingley duties on wool went into effect. It Is these duties which are the real cause of the inability of the poorer people to get warm cloth- ing. while In spite of these and other so- called protective duties the rich still sup ply themselves with woolens from Eu- rope. And yet there are eminent Repub- lican leaders who insist that the tariff is good enough for anybody.

 MT. Bowser believes that by holding em- ployers of negroes up to public notice and ridicule he will be able to cause the discharge oI all colored help and their banishment from the country.
 The Tribune openly declared that paid agents. of an Eastern organization are preparing to settle colored families in Porter and other Northern Indiansa coun- ties, within the next ten days, but the opposition to such settlement has become so pronounced that it is believed open resistance will be made. %

QUESTIONS OF RIGHT.

A nice question of right and wrong, and one which may have to be settled for or against the government, Is connected of the West. First, however, will have to be settled the question of what is the best way to reclaim these lands, whether by tree-planting or by irrigation. Some thing was said in these columns some days ago of the movement now under way to plant some millions of pine trees on the sandy wastes of Colorado, Artzo- na, Nebraska, or wherever the plan seems feasible and hopeful of success. As previously stated it is believed that by covering these wastes with an artificial forest greater humidity and rain fall will naturally result and thus in the course of years lands which are now treeless and almost rainless will be covered with tim Der and this timber both attract and re- tain moisture.
 This is one plan of reclamation. The other Is that the government shall un- dertake the work of reclamation by artificial irrigation. Dams are to be built, vast reservoirs constructed and canals and ditches dug to, convey the surplus water to the land as needed. Here will come up a question of right and authority What are called riparian rights are as sacred and inviolable as any other rights the people enjoy. In Alabama, for example, we have a law which provides that 'any person, divert ing any stream from its natural channel, is liable to any party agrieved for the damages sustained" and we presume other States have laws of like character, or of more positive force. Thus, if A. owns land abutting on a stream and B. owns land above him, B. has no right to dam or divert the stream so as to de- prive A. of water.
 Then the question Is, has the govern ment a moral CT constitutional right to do what an individual cannot do? Irriga- tion is now carried on to very considera- ble extent in the West by private enter prise. Persons owning lands on the rivers and smaller streams are using arti- fciaI irrigation successfully, and their rights and privileges are well defined If < the government should go at the work on hsuch an extensive scale as some have contended for, it might be necessary to huiid dams on some of the rivers which would practically deprive those below of water. They could certainly recover damages in such case if the obstruction was placed in the river by private in- diyidual, but can injured parties recover from the government? is the question that will have to be settled.

STRUGGLED OVER ICE FLoEs.
Led by Two Women, Party Has Thrill
inu Experience

ing E&pCIIC0CCs
st. Johns, N B., Feb. PA party
of travellers has just reached here af-
ter thrilling experience on the ice.
The party was led over 13 miles of ice
foes from an imprisoned steamer TO
Pictou island, and thence to the maAn-
land by two young Boston women.
The steamer Mimic, which runs frem
Nova Scotia to Prince Edward island
became icebound Monday Among
the 40 passengers on board were two
young women named Dent, who had
received word that their parents were
dying in Boston. When they real
lied the situation of the Mimic they
expressed determination to start out
for the mainland on foot. Another
young woman and four young men
also were willing to join in the un-
dertaking.
The party left the steamer shortly
before noon Monday. The suns rays
on the ice proved almost binding, and
after the party had struggled along
for some miles, one OF the young men
sank down from exhaustion. The re-
mainder of the distance, however, was
finally covered, although the young
women were obliged to constantly as
sist the exhausted man. They reach
ed Pictou island about o'clock in
the evening. After passing the night
on the island, the remainder of the
journey was made to the mainland on
Tuesday, where the Boston women
caught a train. The members of the
party belonging in ST. John, reached
here today, greatly exhausted.
After remaining on the ice for 4s
hours the Mimic managed to work her.
self free. She then ran over to her
sister ship, the Stanley, which has
been imprisoned in the ice foes for
over six weeks and managed to put
40 tons of coal on board. The Mimic
has arrived at Georgetown, B. E.

ADDS LAND TO BILTMoRE.
Vanderbilt Buys Nine Acres of Land
AZ 90 o50

Asheville, N. c., Feb. 27.-George
w. Vanderbilt has purchased of Josh.
ua Moore, colored, nine acres of land
for $2,250. The land purchased would
have been dear at $40 an acre to amy
one but Mr.. Vanderbilt.
The property really belonged to
Moore's wife, to whom it was decided
20 years ago, by Erwin Hardy, white
man in whose employ she had been
for many years. This is one Of the
parcels of land which it has been
claimed that Vanderbilt could not buy.
The facts are about this way: Josh.
ua Moore's wife had one child before
she married Moore. The land deed.
ed her by Hardy was to go to her
children. This daughter has just
come of age and she wanted the
money. Moore would no doubt have
sold long ago if he could have made
title. He says he got only a small
portion of the money, his wife and
her daughter getting the lions share.
