Special to The Herald.)

Washington. D. c., May 2S.-The
Mondell-smoot enlarged homestead
bill was today killed for this session of
congress by the house. which voted
against agreeing TO the conference re-
port upon it and refusing to send the
bill back to conference. In fact, the
bill had a narrow escape from being
killed for all time. When the vote re-
fusing to return the bill to conference
was announced, Representative Reeder
of Kansas. leader of the opposition,
asked recognition to lay the bill on the
table. Speaker Cannon came to the
rescue of the western men by not re-
cognizing Reeder. Had he allowed the
motion TO be made. it is believed GER
tain it would have carried.
MondeiI's Opinion.
1t is the opinion of Chairman Mon
dell. VINO was in charge of the bill,
that the main cause of its defeat was
the Incorporation in the house measure
of the SmOot amendment permitting
patents to issue for lands without re-
quirement of actual residence upon
them by entrymen. This amendment
opened the way for argument by OPP
pOnents that passage of the bill was
desired so that large landowners could
enlarge their holdings for grazing pur-
poses Speaking on the floor of the
SmOot amendment. Mr.. Mondeil said
it was not included in the house bill
originally, and personally he was
never favorable to the idea of non-re-
sidence, but il was insisted upon by
the senate conferees. and their posi-
ton was strengthened by the fact that
the non-residence feature had been
recommended by the commissioner OF
the general land office in his annual
report.

excitement was created in the house
today during the consideration of the
conference on the bill providing for

dell of Wyoming, and Gaines of Ten

urged its adoption.
Mr.. Needer of Kansas. however. bit
terly opposed the report and bill and
IN the course of his remarks made the
following statement:
People in the west seldom send men
here who do not vote for what they
want, and l presume that the men
who advocate this bill have hundreds
of thousands of acres of western land,

Clever Grabs

The tree crab of the South Sea
islands is akin to the hermit crab
but it is larger and it has its hind
quarters sheathed in a shell. 1t is
also known as the palm crab because
it climbs the cocoanut palm aud
picks the fruit, which it nips off
close to the stem. 1t always takes
care to choose a palm tree with
plenty OF stones at the foot, so that
the cocoanut may be broken by the
tall. When the native see that crab
is in tree they tie ruff of grass
around the trunk. When he comes
down again he is upset by the grass
and falls heavily to the ground where
he is stunned. He is then killed
with stone ak.

Eleven Years.

1t is eleven years since the intrepid
Andree sailed away into the myste-
rious regions of the frozen north. The
fate Of him and Of his balloon remains
a mystery which probably will never
be solved. In his day, so recent as it
was, aeronautics was in its infancy.
Now, with airships that can remain
aloft for twelve hours, the feat he at
tempted is nearer possibility. One
message came from him after starting,
brought by a carrier pigeon to the
whaler Aiken. 1t ran thus:
July 10, 1880 ok noon, lat. 50 degrees 2
minutes, long. Is degrees 5 minutes east.
Good speed eastward. 10 degrees to south.
All we'll on board. This is the third

He Is q Tyrsnt, and His Tenant Is q
Sort of Slave.

Sort of Slave.
According to Sydney Brooks, Lon
don correspondent for Harper's Week
ly, New Yorkers who live in rented
fats or houses are enjoying a cordi-
ton Of paradise compared with the
lot Of the London tenant.
The British landlord, he complains.
is a tyrant, and the long lease system
is the basis of his tyranny. The sys-
tenn of twelve months leases that OBJ
tains in New York is the Magma Char
Ia of the tenant. 1t has done in
finltely more for American happiness
than either the Declaration of Inde-
pendence or the divorce laws. IT
makes landlords compliant and con.
fers upon the tenant a status of some.
thing very like equality.
TO be able to take house or a fat
for year. with the option Of re.
newal at the same rent--a rent that
in houses includes all decorations and
repairs and in flats includes steam
heat, electric light and a perpetual
supply Of hot water--is to be a free
man.
What London landlords are appar
emily on the lookout for is n slave
and slave who, besides being a mil
llonaire, will outlive Methuselah. Vr
tually it is nothing more than the
skeleton framework of a home that
lie hands over to you for twenty-one
years. The tenant does the rest.
If he wishes to add a new window
or to put in the electric light it must
be done at his own expense. You are
to imagine a procession Of tenants
passing through every London house
each one of them laying out money Oh
some pet improvement of his own
this one adding a billiard room, thai
one concentrating on gas cooking
range, a third lavishing parquet floor
ing upon the drawing room, a fourth
bringing the bathroom up to date, {
fifth installing heating system, ant
so on. And every one of these addi
tions becomes in the end the land

The democratic candidate, at Lincoln,
lay ~ bed,
With his nervous system shattered
and bandage round his head.
And his friend Mack stood beside
him as returns came DER the wire,
And endeavored to enthuse him with
his ld-time zeal and fire.
But poor Bryan whispered feebly as
Mack held his trembling hand:
"I am once again showed under Gee,

"Say to Haskell that his action lost

That those horrid Archbold letters
we're the knives that cut my thl oat.
Send my love to Hearst and tell him
that / bear him no ill-will,
Though to lose in this election is in-
deed bitter pill.
Under ordinary rulings should have

But in spite of all his wallops I'll
again be in the swim;
But it will not be this season, for the

And I'm going up Salt River to re-

every plank I'd advocate
In the letters he indited, and that
helped to seal my fate.
Now his friend Taft Is elected, and il
makes me mighty sore,
But IN going up Salt River to re-
main for four years more. :"
His voice grew faint and husky, and
his grasp was childish, weak,
And as Mack bent down to cheer him,
Willie sighed and ceased to speak.
The emocratic chairman strove to
fan the spark of life,
But the peerless one had succum bed
for the third time in the strife.
And the soft moon rose up slowly
over Fairview's acres grand,
Where the many y-sided Bryan was 6

To write q cheer up poem
You take your ready pen,

And sit down in your den;
Then let the pencil wander
Across the dainty sheet,
And in about a minute

Cheer up, cheer up, cheer up, cheer UP,
Cheer up is what to say;
Cheer up, cheer up, cheer UP, cheer up
And all the while be gay,
And never frown, though you are

Or blind or halt or lame.
Cheer up. cheer up, cheer up, cheer up;
The price is just the same.
No need to waste gray matter
In writing rhymes like that
Just set the pen in motion
And on the job stand pat,
And If you should grow drowsy
Proceed to take a nap,
For when your sleep is ended
The cheer will be on tap.
