Though private ownership OF land

In his rights, all fair minded persons
are asking ii these rights are not often
exceeded In the use of land. Certain
institutions. manufactures. etc. may
not be built In residence districts,
where legal restrictions are based on
''the greatest good to the greatest num-
ber," majority rule, the basis of our
United States government. Natural
beauty should be common heritage,
for it Is the chief natural enjoyment
Of the human family, and we have the
same right to It that we have to pure
air and should as quickly resent any
Interference Herewith. Billbcards, IN
slightly buildings, tall fences, the cut

building sights, should be subjects for
legal restriction lest any fair city or
town eventually become altogether
artificial and unsightly. Beautiful

parks go far to counterfeit the de-
struction of natural beauty by the self

these can never entirely replace the
great charm which natural scenery
holds for enc and all. II the departing
mortal has not left the world In some
way better than he found it he has
lived in vain.

went into the shop and asked to see
the "fine Landseer" The dealer who

in its praise.
"And how much do you want for 1t p

count of some pull with District Attor-
ney Langdon. but even then the news
WASH t Forthcoming as fast as it was to
the Call, and meanwhile the other paper
was entirely left out of the reckoning
1t is small wonder then that these
papers did not enthuse over Heney, al
though they could hardly blame him
the paper owned by the family of the
man who was supplying the ''sinews
of war; 1t has been perfectly APP
parent to all that Heney has made some
bad blunders in handling the graft
cases, though no intimation must be
drawn that Heney is not carrying out
a wonderful work and has the support
of all law-abiding citizens in his en-
deavors to catch the - higher-ups' But
as before noted, the average citizen is
fully as convinced that Heney has made
mistakes as he is that Ruef, Schmitz
and Patrick Calhoun are guilty of the
crimes with which they are charged. It
is, however, easy to see that the news
papers which were not favored with
Heney's friendship early in the fight
are not going to stand up for him
through THICK ana tnln, ana whenever
Heney slips up they seize upon the mis-
take to get back at Heney. The latter,
who has never been accused of being
modest or trying to shield himself from
the limelight, whatever other fine quail
tiles he may have. has been consider
ably irritated by the attitude of these
papers, which irritation he has many
times allowed to get the better of him,
as result of which he seldom gives a
speech without referring to these
papers in violent terms, advising peo-
pie not to read them and threatening
libel suits at some future time. In the
face of his statements as to why some
of the San Francisco newspapers are
against him it is interesting to know
that he himself is to blame for part
of their attitude at least.

IreIand's Native Color.

Green is universally acknowledged
as the Irish color but antiquarians say
green as the national flag of Ireland is
of comparatively modern date. The
lates authority to express an opinion
on the subject is Canon French, a
learned member Of the Royal Irish
Academy. He does not accept the ex-
PLANTATION that the green flag was
adopted by the United Irishmen at
the close of the eighteenth century. by
blending the orange and the blue, the
latter being then regarded by same as
the Irish flag. He asserts the emerald
green standard was used in Ireland in
the sixteenth century, but it was not
till the eighteenth century that 1t be-
came the national color.

NAPOLEON and Ireland,

In 14ecky's first edition of Leaders
of Public Opinion in Ireland" in a
chapter which has, no doubt in the
interests of the Union, been eliminated
from later editions, an anecdote which
should not be forgotten is told of d
conversation between Napoleon when
prisoner at ST. Helena and a Capt.
Watson. a naval officer in command of
ship or war; who touched at st. Hell
ena. and who visited Longwood to pay
his respects to the General as the
fallen emperor was scrupulously called
by his captors. Capt. Watson was an
lrishman. member of we'll known
family in Limerick The moment Ma
poleon heard lie was from Limerick he
spoke with the minutest knowledge OF
the towns Of Tarbert, Foynes Kilrush
Scattery Island, and, above all, of an
eminence overlooking the Shannon
above kilrush. Capt. Watson natur-
ally expressed his ap,azement at Napo-
he had never seen, and the emperor
Immediately explained the origin of his
interest In this remote quarter of Ire
land. He said that he had studied the
whole district for strategic purposes,
and that it was the cardinal mistake
Of his life that instead of making a
descent on ireland he had undertaken
the Egyptian expedition. Had I
acted" he said, las I now wish | had
done, the history of the world would
have been changed"
