THE MICHIGAN AVENUE BOULEVARD.
We understand that tho scheme for boule-


varding certain streets leading to the parks,
as provided by the law passed by the late
Legislature to that end, will bs presented to
the Council in shape that will secure the
necessary consent Of that body. 1t is to be
hoped so. It WAS an outrage upon the peo-
pie Of the South Division for the Council to
refuse to transfer the necessary authority
over Michigan avenue to the South Park
Commissioners. There has been no dispute
Us to the choice of street in the South Divis-
ion to use as IN approach to the parks, for
Michigan avenue is the only one available,
and the sentiment in favor Of such approach
is all but unanimous. The refusal Of the
Councils consent, under these circum-
stances, was plain defiance of the popular
sentiment; it prevented the improvement
being made in time for Use and
enjoyment during the present summer season,
and nothing but mercenary desire On the
part Of some Of those who opposed it, and a
dog-in-the-manger disposition on the part Of
others, could have prevailed against it.
While two or three Aldermen had different
motives for voting against the measure, it
WAS the opposition that arose from the fail
ure Of the West Side people to agree upon a
street in their division which furnished the
votes to defeat the Michigan avenue plan.
This was petty piece of jealousy, and not
at all creditab1e to those who Were aotuated
by il.


It is probably too much to expect that the
Communists in the Council, and those who
are in the habit Of pandering to tha lass of
people, will. favor the Michigan. avenue
boulevard, or: any park approaches to
any Of the parks, because these
people are opposed to everybody who
drives horse for pleasure, IN tho
conviction that said horse ought in some way
to be divided up among them. But it is q
perversion Of fact to represent that the
scheme for park approaches is in any way an
injury to or discrimination against the
poorer people. Taking the South Division
as an illustration, the simple result will be to
exclude trucks from Michigan avenue, and
the owners and drivers Of trucks will find full
compensation in the fact that carriages, bug
gies, and all sorts Of pleasure vehicles will
abandon the other streets and leave them
free to the trucks and business wagons. The
benefits of the boulevard will be open to the
poorer classes equally with all others when
they drive out, as they frequently do, on a
family holiday and at all other times they
will enjoy an advantage in having better ac-
commodations in the street-cars and steam-
cars BY reason Of the larger amount of driv-
ing encouraged by q decent thoroughfare.
The poorer classes themselves are making no
protests against the scheme, and it is only
device Of demagogues in using them as a
prete1t for an opposition that hassom other
significance. When the matter comes up
again, however, no Alderman who has any
regard for public opinion or any desire to
save his official skin will vote against it un-
less he expects to be reelected by the Social

IN the stability OF the banks, and the

bank Keeping open until late hour

great measure To the present quiet. The
doors were thrown open this morning
at 9 o'clock, an hour before the usual

met. The run continued in a modified
form till IL o'clock. At noon
there were not a dozen persons
at the counter, most OF whom
were returning to the bank money

aggregate amount disburScd TO deposit

$3.50, 900. 1t is now evident that the
bank has surmounted the difficulty.
The Vile Marie Bank is still closed, but
the officers say they will reopen in a

realized from the securities to meet all
demands. There is a moderate run on
the HOchelaja Bank, but the directors
assert that They will have no difficulty in

The truth is that these too frequent
"unhappy marriages" are the offspring
of ignorance quite as much as Of actual
sin or wrong. Fools, and especially
victious fools, have no right to get pos
session of an honest woman's life and
soul which they cannot comprehend,
and the elevated influence Of which they
threw away even more by stupidity than
by wilfulness.


A woman by her sex and character,
has claim TO many things besides shell
ter, food and clothing. She is not less a
woman for being welded; and the man
who is fit to be trusted with good wife
recollects all which this implies, and
shows himself perpetually chivalrous,
sweet spoken, considerate and deferen-
tial. The fools and brutes who abound
among us may think such demands hard;
but they are not nearly as bad as to live
the life of cat or dog, missing the dear
est possibilities of human intercourse.


What right has man to expect hap
piness in house hold who brings no
sunshine into it? What right has he to
look for the graces and refinements of
early love when he violates them by
rough speech, ill-manners and the disre,
gard of those little things upon whicl
the self-respect of wife is built ant
maintained? The cynic who rails al
marriage is generally one and the sam,
with the thoughtless egotist who files in
| to the presence of his wife careless, stub
born and sour-tempered, though he new
er went to his mistress except Oh his bes
behavior.


The fate is horrible which pure an,
faithful girl may endure by encounterin,
in him whom she weds not mere actua
cruelty or injury, but stupid incompet
ence to understand woman's needs
dull forgetfulness of the daily'graces O
life and oblivion of the fact that Will
men have the world women have onl,
their home. These grossnesses of tn
Tasculne ingratitude do not, indeed, OF
ten lead to visible catastrophe nor groy
into absolute tyrrany, but they equal
tend that way. They drag down wife
soul to the point where she must despair
they change the sublime meaning of mar
riage to vulgarity and WEAKNESS the

all education which each man obtain

The spring is turning out to be very dry {;
much more so than usual at this season,
and grain sown now is slow in coming up.
1t is a, good plan to irrigate the land when
dry before plewing, then SOW ct once, and
put seed in shallow, and it will come up
without delay. 1t is not good to irrigate
before the grain is up, as it will bake the
ground and keep the plant back The old
adage, can ounce of preventive is better
than pound of cure,' is applicable to Mon
tana farming. Never let the ground get
thoroughly dried out, but keep it in good
growing condition. In localities where
water is liable to be scarce in the event of
dry season. it should not be allowed to run
to waste when it can be used to any pur-
pose. Water early and thoroughly, and
thus push crops ahead that they may be so
advanced as not to need it when the supply
begins to fail late i'll the summer.

they are almost entirely dependent upon
what is given them. 1t is now important
that the stock should be well fed and in
good, thrifty condition. Fowls thus kept
will be vigorous and full Of life, and chicks
hatched from their eggs will be correspond
ingly strong and healthy, and will thrive
and grow better than when hatched from
eggs laid by hens in poor condition.


Whenever they can be had, potatoes or
even turnips should be boiled and mashed
and mixed with ground corn and oats and
wheat bran, and fed warm in the morning.
A liberal feed may be given, but no more
than will be eater. In this feed is the place
to mix scalded sour milk, not enough to
make the feed too thin and sloppy-but as
much as may be without producing this re-
suit. At noon feed a little wheat, buck
wheat, oats or rye, and at night give
''square meal" of corn. Water should al
ways be given at feeding time or soon after,
as fowls usually want to drink after they
have eaten their feed. Pound up a few oys-
ter-shells every day and keep that or cracked
bone within reach Of the fowls whenever
they want them.


Where they are confined to small yards
and have no access to barnyards or other
sources of strawy or forage food, a little
nice, fine hay or corn-fodder may be given
every day. Scatter the grain given as food
among this litter and let the hens hunt and
scratch for it. 1t will afford both amuse-
ment and exercise for them. Fowls fed i'll
this way in clean, warm premises will lay
and their eggs will hatch strong, healthy
chicks.


These may seem Ike minute directions
for feeding chickens, but from observation
we are led to believe that the ma jority Of
poultry keepers either do not know how to
feed, or do not practice what they know.
Now, at the beginning OF the breeding sea-
son, is the time the 'chickens" should be
carefully fed and managed. From good
thrifty breeding stock one may reasonably
expect to raise good, strong, healthy chicks,
and from fowls starved and neglected no
one need entertain great expectations

The Jews Of the United States are inaug-
tlrating a movement for the establishment
Of agricultural colonies in the west ana
south. 1t is remaI kabe departure for this
people to undertake. Such a person as a
Hebrew farmer is hardly known in the MS
tory of this country.


The subject of colonization was first dis
cussed at the annual convention of Hebrew
congregations at Cincinnati last summer
On that occasion committee was appoint
ed to further consider the matter. This
committee has reported that in their opih-
ion the true emancipation Of the Jews con-
sists in the greater infusion OF spirit OF
manhood and sef-dependence, which can
best be done by encouraging the millions OF
Esrealites dwelling in eastern and southern
Europe to become farmers and mechanics.
The committee points to the broad, tree
acres Of the West, ready to yield untold
wealth, and to import to millions of Jews
that spirit OF true independence that the
owner and tiller of the soil always enjoys.

nature In trade they are close, active,

cution have failed to break either spirit or

durance is something wonderful. They
slowly emerge from the bondage Of ages,
and their representatives control the treas
uries Of the most powerful civilized govern
ments of the world, direct their grandest
commercial enterprises, dictate international
treaties, and the foreign and the home poll

Looking at the vast accomplishments OF
this remarkable race Of people in other df-

see them do IN this new field to Which they
now turn. We predict tor Jcwieh agrlcur
ture in America within the present century
success that shall be the marvel OF agri

fairly enlisted, we shall see farming prose
cuted as a business, with a thoroughness
and a success heretofore unknown either
abroad or at home.

Occasionally q very difficult and embnr-
RAISING problem is brought to clear solution
under the aid of circumstances which were
unlocked for and unsought but which were
thrown in the way as by accident This
may occur in solving the vexed and uncom-
Portable Chinese question under which the
people of the Pacific coast are chatting, and
which Congress attempted toadjust by legis-
lation even at the expense ofour national good
faith as involved in solemn treaty. The
negro exodus from the South, which began
in the cotton regions, but which is now ex-
tending to an alarming extent in the sugar
districts promises to SO reduce the labor re-
sources that the sugar crop must inevitably
suffer Labor must be obtained, or both the
cotton and sugar branches Of Southern in-
dustry and enterprise will become greatly
impaired and crippled, if they do not reach
the point of absolute ruin.


The people of the Pacific coast desire to be
rid of the Chinese, and the Southern States
will soon, under the colored exodus, have
need Of their services. 1t may be that it is
part of divine purpose that the MonGolian
shall take the place of the African in that
part of the country where labor is not
badge of honor and where the controlling
forces demand seryitude of some sort TO keep
the wheels Of industry and enterprise NOV
ing. The Southern whites those who have
been reared in the midst of slavery, do not
know how to labor, and if they did they
have constitutional preiudices which will
bar them from It, What are known there
as the "poor white trash have the same
constitutional objections to labor that attach
to the ex-slayeholdcrs; hence, under this
drain upon the physical resources Of the
South, it will be left as barren Of the Ordi-
nary agencies of industry and enterprise as
the tomb is of vitality, and unless relief
comes from some quarter the South in its
material resources of wealth will become q
waste.


The Chinoman would inevitably become
popular at the South, for the reason that he
loves to labor and will work cheaply, and
has no taste for politics He refuses to put
on citizenship, and hence is in no danger of
being assassinated for opinion sake or for
meddling in the political affairs of that sec
ton He can do anything and more of it
in the same time than any living human
being, for the reason that, when well treated,
he is contented and dutiCul to his tasks and
prefers his home and his duties to any other
place, even though it be garnshed with
proyocations to idleness. lie is only suited
to be newer of wood and Il drawer Of
water, lie may pilfer but the Southern
people can tolerate that weakness better
than they can citizenship or the right oi
opinion especially if it is not in accord with
their own. Nothing can be tolerated In the
South so we'll as serylity, even though il
be spiced with dishonesty. Stealing in the
South is a yenial ollensc, and hence would
