Provision for Ex-Presidents.

Senator Allison is quoted as looking
with favor on Mr.. Cleveland's suggestion
about a governmental provision for ex-
Presidents. He has no plan for carrying
1t into operation. but expects the subject
to be presented in Congress. and that
something will come of it.
1t Is tribute to our institutions and to
the men whom we have called. to the
chief place under them that not since the
early days has there been a case where
an ex-President has been pinched for
money From the time of the younger
Adams the men who have occupied the
White House have returned to private life
in comfortable circumstances. and there
resumed activities with dignity and ease
Mr.. Adams re-entered political life and
died in harness. never rich. and never
craving or needing riches. Gen. Grant
embarrassments after he became citizen
of New York grew out of circumstances
which a government pension would not
probably have prevented. and could not
have relieved. Feeling a desire to be &C.
cupied-though from the standpoint OF
money he did not need to be-he became
speculator. and fell into the clutches OF
rascal
The case OF MT. JEFFERSON Is lilc oiie eiieie
always gives point to the discussion OF
this subject. And yet his was a case
wholly apart He was by nature lavish.
and even wasteful. He lived. and loved
and adorned the life of sage. His do
nestle establishment was as carelessiy
ordered as that of the younger Pitt, so
frankly described and condemned by Ma
caulay. He entertained on an extensive
scale even in his poverty. 1t was privi-
lego to meet him, and people hocked 10
see him. AS the phrase is, he lived ike
a prince And as he lived. and in those
times he had no income out of office.
Today. Mr.. Jefferson. as ex-President
would be- II he cared to be. a rich man
from his pen alone. Publishers would
camp at his gate for an opportunity to
submit propositions. His autobiography,
prepared as he would be urged to prepare
IT, would be worth a round hundred
thousand dollars to him. And he would
spend the money, and have ninety day
note In bank, in less than five years. Mr.
jefferson and his money were soon parted
He had a superb head for the biggest
things, but not one for what is called
business.
Assuredly, the man who has once filed
our highest office should never after leav-
ing it know want There is small likeli-
hood that any such ever will But the
country will indorse cordially any money
or other provision that Congress may de-
eide to make for the comfort and imam
ciaI independence Of our ex-Presidents.

ago was fitted out for entertaining pur-
poses. 1t is believed that this was dar-
ing stroke Of diplomacy. by the Duke of
Portland to indicate how little he thought
of the claim that an underground passage
led from the ducal home to the former
es Enlistment of bruce.
The tradition which ran in the bruce
family that there was a connection with
the Portland title may have had its
origin in the imagination Of the original
bruce. whose remains were exhumed to-
day. Possibly there was a blood connec-
ton between him and the fifth Duke of
Portland not recognized by society and
the courts. Perhaps the mysterious al
lusions by bruce which have found their
way into the testimony through various
channels were the vagaries of his imagi-
nation. or possibly the result of some
understanding between him and Port
land.
However regarded. the case is a
strange one, even in this hour of the COL
lapse OF the bruce claim through the
discovery of the bones in the coffin. The
existence Of articles in the bruce fam
lily possessions marked with the Port
land crest, the testimony of a nurse, the
recollections of distinguished men. now
dead. which strengthened the belief that
Portland and bruce were one and the
same man, all gave vitality to the con-
tention. Even now that the lead
weighted coffin theory is dispelled. there
will be many to shake their heads when
the bruce claim is mentioned, and aver
that there was something in 1t more
than the mere greed of an INSCRIPTIONS
family. And after all is said and DONE
the fact remains that the English gov
eminent might easily have led to the
present explosion of the claim years
ago by ordering the elimination Of the
bones of T. c. bruce. That the claim
has lived as long as 1t has is to be at
tributed solely to the extraordinary con-
servatism of the home secretary's office

The Nevada Situation.

In the Nevada case the issue has been
sharply drawn and has now been ac-
cepted by the commemorative executive.
The state legislature is to be called in
special session to deal with the emer-
Eency presented by the Goldfeld strike
aud the refusal Of the President to al
LON the federal troops to remain longer
wlA<s1t action BY the state lawmakers.
The Sfact that Nevada has heretofore
neglected its plain duty to provide means
81 eopdng with such difficulties. by organ
3z54s~a constabulary or a militia force.
does not shift a duty upon the United
States government to quell any disturb
ance thatzinay arise there. Nevada can
not preserve its state organization and
still rely upon the federal government
for assistance in matters which are
Nprdinarily settled wholly by common
wealth means.
FBy summoning the legislature Gov.
Sparks tardily lays the foundation for a
5ustifable appeal to the United States.
The cry for help which was heard in
Washington and promptly answered may
have been only the individual voice of
the Goyernor. 1t will now be possible
to ascertain whether 1t was more than
this. the voice of the people of Ne
vada. 1t is within the power Of the leg
islature. standing for the nonce In lieu
OF the people o. the state. to repudiate
the call for troops and to declare Ne
vada's ability to stand on its own re-
sources in meeting it's strictly intra-st
emergency. 1t is at the same time within
the power of the legislature to sustain
the governors action and to declare the
states inability to maintain order within
Its boundaries. a confession of i'm
potence which should be quickly followed
by steps to prevent repetitions of such
situations hereafter.

Good Resolutions.
From the Philadelphia Ledger.

Shall we make good resolutions on New
Year day? Yes. Resolve every day to
build more stately mansions" Every
day a man should be stronger to will
and do; stronger today for the resolution
and the deed of yesterday. Volition is
the high part of man; the will to say no;
the adamantine II will not" is the high
est part. 1t takes volition to dismiss a
vice, to correct a habit, to turn away
from ailurements, and a remuneration
strengthens the soul. Surely there can
be but one answer to the question. Shall
1 as the new year opens resolve to pass
beyond some trait or faint that is I'M
worthy?

the sagebrush and turning burrows
at the rate of thirty acres per day.
The plow is equipped with ten
fourteen inch bottoms and has a
speed faster than that of any
horse.
The land will receive water
from the Snake river hoisted from
its banks by a $40, 600 pumping
plant which will be ample for all
requirements. The bitches are all
completed and ready for the culti-
walton of the soil when the efforts
of these promoters will be rewarded
with such vegetation and grazing
lands as only these lands are cap

OF this concern, however, will be
directed to stock raising rather
than the cultivation of diversified
crops. Horses, cattle, sheep and
hogs of the blue ribbon quality will
be reared and held for the market.
Only enough grains will be raise d
each year to maintain the herds of
stock.
Steadily and surely does the work
of reclamation go on. Men of fore
sight and means see nothing but a
bright future for this land of sum

their money in the vast areas with
the full confidence that we live in
the greatest section of the United
