GENERAL GRANT AND THE c4yTEEy.

Many officers OF the United States Army are
anxious TO have the army canteen re-estab-
nshed They opposed its abolition when the
question WAS under discussion and they now
point TO deUeri0rations in the service which they
trace TO the absence Of the canteen and say.
I'VE told YOU so" Among the latest recruits
TO the force which stin hopes 10 re-establish the
institution is General Frederick ID. Grant who
like many Of his brother officers thinks that
the people who were responsible for IT'S abo-
lition and who oppose its re-esta blishuent do
not see the canteen in is proper light While
the good people who wished to benefit the sol
der by wping OFT the places where he could
procure light drink regard these places as vile

From the Milwaukee Sentinel.
The news that a Philadelphia firm
has contracted to supply Buddhist idols
to the Coreans has caused more or
less concern among religious persons
here in the United States. The idea
that q country which every year
spends millions Of dollars In support
ing foreign missionaries should be
come the center for the manufacture
of images for the heather to worship
is n that naturally causes indig:
nation. +.
Bishop Cyruos D. Foss of the Meth
odist church, in commenting upon the
news that a large order for idols had
been received, declares that, while
it was deplorable that an American
firm should engage in such q business
traffic, it was not so bad as the English
merchants export of opium to India OF
American dealers traffic In liquor
among our new colonies. The view
taken by Bishop Foss is certainly prac
tical and logical. Compared with
opium an idol is a harmless product
Moreover, the American firm has 9
chance gradually to bring about .
spiritual reform. Every one knows
that the long accepted patterns in idols
are not handsome Or inspiring. By
using a little artistic taste the old
patterns can be modified. Impercept
IDLY American made idols may exert
a powerful influence upon the far OF
Buddhists in Corea.
From a commercial point OF view
the Philadelphia firms enterprise is to
be commended. When the American
commercial invasion reaches the care
fully guarded idols Of an oriental peo
pie it is plain that there are not many
more steps to be taken in the onward
march of Yankee enterprise.

The Point Of View.

make old maids more than does lack OF
husbands. I have seen many a mar.
ried woman who was nothing but an
old maid, and many q spinster who
never would be anything blu a bach.
elor girl. The point of view made
the difference. While as to consola.
ton! Look at the poor sticks OF
men your best of friends have mar
ried, and see If that is not enough to
console the most forlorn old maid who
ever loved a cat instead of a husband.
l always liked that story Of the OLD
maid who, when urged to marry, said
she had no need Of a husband, because
she had a parrot that swore, a lamp
which smoked and cat that stayed out
nights. Nor would / advise the most
OF women t adopt a career al q cure
for her loneliness. A are is a cold
blooded thing. If she must adopt some
thing, let her adopt an orphan. An
orphan is liable to prove much more
satisfactory than a career.-Lillian

The Life of Maxim Gorky, the great
Russian tramp author, could not fail
to furnish grateful material to the BIZ
ographer. Certainly the volume,
Maxim Gorky." just about to be pub
lished by Mcclure, Phillips & Co., en-
inently justifes such an assertion. 1t
is full of everything that makes in
teresting, almost thrilling reading,
and has the character more Of a
novel than a biography. This is parti-
ally due to the fact thai the author,
T.. J. Dillon, is completely master OF
his subject. He has for many years
been recognized as one of the fore
most English students of Russian
character and customs, and has been
in close touch with Gorky in all he
has done. These facts give his work
especial authority.

Mine Of Fabulous Wealth.

Afer three years of vigorous search
ing for a mine Of almost fabulous
wealth, the Hobart estate, which owns
eleven square miles Of land in the
Sierra Nevada foothills, concluded to
give 'Budd' Barclay 20 per cent. of all
that the mine produced providing he
would reveal the location of the ledge
to the owners Of the property. It Is
now nearly four years since Barclay
created intense excitement in Carson
and Virginia cities by exhibiting, while
under the influence of liquor. spec
linens of the richest gold bearing
quartz ever seen in those parts. Bar.
clay claimed that while chasing a
wounded deer he vas g into a thick
ct, where he made his remarkable find.
The assay proved to be so fabulously
rich as to cause Carson people to doubt
the existence Of SO rich a mineral dis
covery. The Hobart estate at the
time offered Barclay 10 per cent, OF
all gold taken out IL he would "show
down" his mine. The land in question
was taken up under the congressional
act in force prior 10 1872. which allowed
those taking up timebr land to con-
troll all mineral found thereon. Thus
prospectors were prevented from work
ing upon the estate, which was steal
thi y watched by numerous detectives
employed by the Hobart people with
the hope Of stumbling upon the dis
covery somewhere In the vicinity of his
reported gold discovery. Every move
ment of Barclay was closely watched
by slueths, although he always car
ried q rifle and threatened to shoot
anyone he caught dogging his foot
steps. Barclay has at different times,
SO it Is said, routed innocent people
out of bed at all hours of the night
and confronting them with q rifle
made them swear they were not hunt
ing for his mine. Carson people seem
d~isinclined to believe Buds" story Of
the discovery of the rich ledge. They
say that Barclays uncle knew Of the
mine and at his death disclosed the
location to his nephew. The old man
always seemed t~ohaveplsnty Of money

PERTINENT AND OTHERWISE.

Mrs. A.. 8. Warren of Andrews ST.
ezra county. has written to Represen'
tative Howard, offering him the fol
lowing suggestions for the legislature:
First = Have our public schools
taught in English with the public
money.
Second-No officer to serve in any
manner on any official business except
he can rea n write the English
language sufficiently to be understood
Third-Fix our road law so that a
man who has a team of horses, oxen
or asses will have to work more than
a footman.
Fourth-Elect our j. P's. and con
stables at the general elections and
save this expense to the counties.
Fifth-Place the bonds of the JUS
tees of the peace at one thousand
dollars and extend their jurisdiction.
Sixth-Compel the j. P's. to make
a report of all cases. criminal or civil,
or produce their docket subject to the
approval of the district judge.
Seventh-New compiled laws and
nothing in them except the law.
Eighth-Fix a tax on dogs and bitch
es of one and two dollars respectively.
Ninth-Assessors should appoint a
man in each precinct to make returns
of property. personal and real estate,
animal per animal, as near as can be
done; and all persons making a false
report. when proven to be guilty OF
perjury, to be punished according to
law. No exemptions except poor wild
ows.
Explanation-So many young men
and others who own from one to one
hundred burros hi from one to forty
horses, pay no tax. This l know and
and they brag that they don't have to
pay because of the exemption and
for the reason that the assessor does
not call on them. h is one of the
most important laws of all.
Tenth-Enforce our grand juries to
look after bigamy and adultery. They
should be very particular about en-
quiring into the facts.
Eleventh-A law to protect our gov
eminent from land thieves. who are
footing the country by locating home
steads for pay.
Twelfth-Change our laws SO that
country stores can do BUSINESS on
Sunday, as the ranchman or miner
who desires to lay OF on Sunday
gets his weeks supplies then, and he
does not violate the law by work, as
it is the only day he can do his trad
ing.
Observation-Disclosures the fine and
penalty for carrying and using are
arms.
The above are a few suggestions
and ! hope you will pay some attention
to some of them, ii not all. 1t does
seem as il our legislators are there
to grind various kinds Of axes, and
for this reason ! beg Of you to con-
slider what ! have written.
