dabbled again in Western mines and
has run an Eastern mule farm.
Retiring from the Senate last spring,
he was again one more n poor man,
and with his advanced years it was
presumed by the unknowning ones he
would sink into obscurity but like
some others, bill Stewart has never
known when he was down and out,

purpose to again rebuild his fortunes.
The chances are more than even that
he will although he is nearly four
score years.
The Senator expects to reap a pro-
fitable harvest from the various legal

former years a fortune as a single fee.

CLIMATE IN MANCHURLA.
It Plays a Prominent Part in the
Fortunes of War.

The climate Of Manchuria plays an
important role in the war between
Russia and Japan. Up to the present
we have had but little precise informa-
ton upon this point. NJ. ]. Ross has
lately given the Scientific American in
dications as to the climate of that re.
gion and the character of the different
seasons. He states hat in the months
of March and April there are strong
southwest winds which bring with
them heat and moisture. At the end
of March the winter a ends. The
undersoil is still frozen at this time,
but the ground can be worked for agri-
culture. April appears to be the only
month of spring. At the end Of this
month the sowing of wheat commences.
Summer begins in May, and at the end
of June or the beginning of July the
wheat is cut. Up to the end of June
rain is rare and the sky is generally
clear, while cloudy weather is an ex-
ception. The heat reaches a maximum
at the end of July and first part of
August. Afterward come heavy rains
or storms. 1t often rains for several
days and nights without stopping. The
soil is completely saturated and inun-
| dations are frequent.
September is the harvest month,
Wnlle OCTOBER gives some OF the uneSC
weather of the year. At this time the
climate is agreeable during the day and
the sky is clear, with bracing air, while
vegetation is at its height. At the end
of the month the first night frosts be
gin to appear, and in November the
cold weather commences and keeps up
until March. At Mukden the temper
allure sometimes reaches a very low de-
gree. During the day, however, the
cold is not excessive, and sometimes in
the middle of the winter the suns rays
become very warm, on account of the
southerly position of that locality. The
maximum temperature of summer is
1904 deg. F. About ten months of the
year are dry for the most part, and the
excessive wet season only occurs dur
ing a month or so. At Niuchwang, on
the north shore of the gulf of Lao
tung, the mean winter temperature is
16 deg. F., and the mean 70: the sum-
mer, 74.S deg. The mean annual tenn
perature is Al deg. f. The Russian
maritime provinces have a very low
mean annual temperature. At Vladiv-
ostock the average for the winter is
1912 deg. F., and for the summer it is
only 1913 deg. f.

received by any lawyer in the world
in a single fee; the man who was in

THE RIGHTS OF MAN.
They Should Include an Opportunity
to Make a Home on a Piece of Land.


The right to work, to employ ones
self, comes from Nature, and not from
legislative action. If that is true,
says the Detroit News Tribune, it fol-
lows that legislatures have no right
to make regulations which will permit
the cornering of opportunities for self
employment. The United States laws
governing our national domain of land
were originally designed to conform to
the rights of man. Our homestead
acts were designed to place the land in
the hands of those who would actually
use it productivity, and much of the
lane was so parcelled out to the
great advantage of society. But cum
ming lawyers and INSCRIPTIONS men
who want to reap where they have not
sown, who seek to avoid productive Ia
Dor themselves by controlling the OPP
portunities of self-employment, have
succeeded in cornering large Sec
tons of the United States. The
revelations of the land frauds in
the West are worthy of great at
t%ention, but they excite less inter-
est than do our troubles with
President Castro of Venezuela. The
astonishing fact is learned hat n
man has acquired nearly $1,000 square
miles of public land. He does not want
to use it himself, and his only object is
to make others pay him for the privi-
it more difficult for men to employ
themselves, and the rights Of nan are
to that extent denied.

The insurance scandals, and the gen.

and Europea politics were the subjects
before the Ebell club members at their
meeting yesterday.
Mrs. Lou V. Chaplin was the speaker
and her lecture on current history con-
tained many uncomplimentary remarks
about corporations in general and GER
tain corporations in particular.
Mrs Chaplin declared that because
only one corporation is found out that
is no reason to think all others are all
right, for even successful dishonesty
is not right
John McCurdy says all dishonesty is
relative" said she. He has his son and
his son-in-law and the whole family in
Office. 1t is little wonder he says dis
honesty is relative.
The tariff question also was discussed
and Mrs Chaplin declared that the time
for change has come.
I'VE say let well enough alone when
we look at the prosperity of America -
she said, "but we forget to realize that
well enough will not always let us alone.
We need enough Yankee foresight to

try in order that he may be prosperous

Judge Wright entered fully into tht

on which the law is based, pointing out
the grounds in public policy which have
led every nation to fix limits within
which creditors must endeavor to Sc
cure their rights or be content to have
them lapse.
At the close of his address a general
discussion followed in which concrete
cases were taken up and the application
of legal principles to them was con-
sidered. The discussion was partici-
pated in by a large number of MEM
bers of the association who cited oc-
currences from their individual expert

applied.
