London In 1874.

In 1854 NJ. La Combe published
book entitled "A Picture Of London"
In which. inter ALA, he says, ''The
highroads thirty or forty miles round
London are filed with armed highway
men and footpads." This was then
pretty true, though the expression
FILLED" Is somewhat OF an exaggera-
ton. The medical student Of fifty or
more years ago seems to have been an

us that the brass knockers Of doors.
which cost from II. shillings to Is shil-
lings, are stolen at night II the maid
forgets to unscrew them precaution
which seems to have gone out OF fash

NJ. La Combe in another part OF his
book exclaims: How are you changed.
Londoners! Your women are become
bold, imperious and expensive. Bank
rupts and beggars, coiners. spies and
informers. robbers and pickpockets
abound. The baker mixes alum in his
bread The brewer puts opium and

or whose tiny fingers were not taught
to know the keys of the piano, no
great artist who was not introduced
to colors and brushes with the
dreams of youth. To even ride a

1t is of the utmost Importance that
we receive our lessons of life before
we have passed that stage when we
have grown too dull to learn.

IMMIGRATION AND EMIGRATION

But little while ago Americans
were worrying about the vast hordes
of foreign born which poured over
the land as IL from the horn of plen-
ty, and little later the cry was
raised that not only had the incom-
ing aliens been checked by the Oc-
tober panic but that there were more
old citizens returning to the lands
of their nativity than there were new
citizens arriving.
In view of all that has been said
pro and con and all the speculation
and estimating, the report Of the At
lantic Steamship company is inter-
esting. This report shows that for
the year endi-s June 80 last the in
coming aliens numbered $4,000 as
against 100000 for the year pre-
vious. The steamship companies also
report the departure of 560,914 for
eigners for the home land in the pc
Rod between Jan. / and June 80.
commissioner at New York is not
yet complete, the estimate is that
the departures of foreigners from
America during the six months end
ing June 80 have been far in excess
of the arrivals
The cause of this, of course, lies
in unsettled business conditions. The
aliens could live much more cheaply
at home than here, and also have
| their enforced vacation among
| friends and relatives. AS to what
! proportion of those who have gone
| back will later return, there can be
| only conjecture But it is safe as

SHORT. LINE TO KANSAS CITY.
Santa Fe to Make Present Route
Shorter by Connections i'm
North Texas.

The Santa Fee is soon to have a
route from Galveston to Kansas City
that will be seventy-five miles shor-
ter than its present route. This is of
interest to Sherman on account of
the fact that there has been no prep
araion made by the road to leave
this city and that from all indica
tons outside of officialdom, the con-
4 tract with the Cotton Belt has been
: renewed, Gays the Sherman Demo
crat 1t is pointed out in this re-
gard that there is only thirty mile
gap between Sherman and Gaines
Vile and that a connection of the
two cities would be the means of the
connecting link between North Tex
/ as and the present south terminus
at Tulsa. Port Bolivar is to be made
the port for the Santa Fe shipments
and great improvements have been
made in the wharf facilities. The
Beaumont Enterprise has the follow
ing to say regarding the shorter
route north:
The Santa Fee is now engaged in
connecting her line from Beaumont
to Center, Texas, with her line run
ming from Longview, Texas, south,
and, as part of a consolidation bill
passed by the last legislature, is to
run that line to the. connection with
her lines in Oklahoma. The objective
point there is Tulsa, which will give
her an air line from Port Bolivar d.
| rect to Kansas City and Chicago,
which is 1873 miles shorter than her
present route. 1t might be remarked
that the distance between Beaumont
and Kansas City by the new line is
/ only 500 miles, Is miles shorter than
the present route via the Kansas
City Southern railroad"

TO RECLAIM WET LANDS.
Mississippi Valley Drainage and
Good Roads Association Meets.

Mississippi Valley Drainage and
Good Roads Association Meets.
Memphis, Tenn, July 27,-Dele-
gates from Tennessee, Arkansas,
Louisiana, Kentucky and Mississippi
are in attendance at the convention
opened in Memphis today by the
Mississippi Valley Drainage and
Good Roads Association.
The purpose of the convention is
to discuss the reclamation of the
wet lands by drainage and to irrigate
the arid lands. The question of the
improvement of roadways through
out the states of the Lower Missis-
sippi valley will also be brought up
and discussed.
AS a result of the first meeting,
experts were sent here by the gov
err mt who made a survey of the
| lowlands, and noted the condition
of the roads in this section. The
question was taken up by the gov
eminent and a great deal of good
has been done during the last year.
The farmers of Mississippi and
Arkansas will be greatly benefited
by the reclamation of the wet lands,
as a majority of the lowlands under
discussion are located in these two
states Tennessee, Kentucky and
Louisiana will also be greatly bene-
fitted, as any number of acres in
these states are of practically no
value at the present time, but by
the aid and assistance of the govern
ment could be turned into rich and
valuable farm lands.
The government has sinking
fund of $3S, 100000 for the reclaim
alton of wet and arid lands, and one
of the main objects of the convention
will be to put this project before the
officials, and show them what the
real value of these lands could be
turned into.
The business of the convention
will probably be concluded tomor-
row.

Washington, Dec. 31--At the last
cabinet meeting of the present year.
the decision was reached by the pres
ident and Attorney General Bonaparte
that the government viii use every
means in its power to bring about in
the higher courts disapproval of the
decision rendered in Colorado yester-

alleged conspiracy.
