Never hefoio In the his- toiy of tlio city were the streets so well nigh Jnipas.-f.iblonH during the Ihieu month's fiom January 13 to April 15. All tluouili ; the cen tral poitlon ( if the town tlio mud was huh deep , nnd business of nil kinds that depend- wiJnrfli'lyQU uw lng ! for success was fear fully cilpplud , nnd in some instances totally Hiispumlcd. Tlmt ornclu of wisdom , the old- list Inhabitant , viewing the bottomless hed ( if mini on Eleventh stieet , In fiont of the Com- muiulnl hotel , and the equaly dlsgiacetul condition of Tenth street , was fit n loss to disc'ein the C.-UIM ; , nnd Instead of trying to invent n remedy , passed his time In nsstirliiK complalnin : ; teamsters thai the roads would "bo all iluht as soon ns the mud dried up. " Ono conservative man , a largo property own er , and possessed ot good , sound business ublllty , nlllrmi'd one day that he couldn't undeistaiid why the streets weio In mti'h honlblo shape. Ho had lived In Lincoln ten years , imsald , mid never saw them so badly cut up before. The statement by the Uii : : man that the tralllo of the elty had Kti'iitly Inciunsod durliifc the past year. uml us it continued to jjiow the stieots would become moio and more unlit torteaiiiln . un til paved , was un elirtiical lovelation to him , us It was to otheis when roncateil. The In- lei iimlion fell on good iionnd , however , nnd 1ms bornu fruit In the sh.ipe ot a teiior\l de- Hire lor permanent improvements that is not HUely to die out In uliuiry. Witli-tlio exam ple oT Omaha to pattern niter , no effort will lm made to pave tins stieets until a tlioiomli HyHtcm of so\\i'nuo : pipes aio laid , and con nections made liom ovcry lot to them , as well as to the water nnd fjas mains. In this respect nt lea-it Lincoln will have an advant age over the ( late elty , where tlio failure of tliu piopor aiithoillles to see that the connec tion" were all Hindu before the pavements were put down has lesulted In a series of un- Hiuhtly patches on the asphalt with which many of tno streets are coveied. The plans onhleh Mr. AVarlni : Is now eiia ( ed will provide ample sanitary drainage lor the settled portion tion of the city lor some years to come , at an expense of about 875,000. The idea Is to put in mains and l.iteial.s that can ho muled to Irom lime to time , ns the city urows , without nlteiation or distuibaiico ot the original plant. This woilc will , in all prouabllity , bo completed this summer , when the more im- poitiintniid expensive Item ol paving will bo taken up. There nio thirty-three blocks , containing I'J.OOO running leet that should bo paved at the earliest practical moment. This teirllory consists ot nine blocks on O stieet , from Sixth to Fifteenth ; live on 1 , tiom Seventh to Twellth ; four on Q , fiom Seventh to Eleventh ; tlneo on N , Horn Mnth to TwelHh ; three on Mnth , trom Q to N ; tlneo on Tenth , from Q to X ; four on Eleventh , fiom Q to M ; and two on Twelfth Irom I" to U. With these streets paved business can be carried on sncccsstnlly tor years to come , and extensions made from tune to time in various ( lliectlons as piopcity owners may call for. The bugbear ol expense- may fiiglitcn timid people for awhile , out it is a ghost that Is easily .exor cised. It is the experience of the world that tlio ti no prospeiity of cities dates from the day tiiat public impiovements are com menced. Every dollar honestly expended in seweingc. paving , ami similar wonts , en hances tlio value of property iust as surely as though paid out for paint and bricks or sod. And besides the money goes Into the hands of the laboring classes who are compelled to immediately pay it over to the moicbaiits , and thus there is a larKO Increase in trade. The cry that the value ot property in Lincoln will not warrant tliu proposed tax Is an idle one. His an Indisputable fact that residence piopeity Is held as fiigh hero to-day piopor- tlonatefy ns in Omaha , and the icnts , for anything like desirable locations , am even higher. As Omaha has prospered under her work : ) of public Improvements , honestly nnd economically done , so will Lincoln , piovided the barnacles can bo scraped off. and the smooth ] men of enterprise allowed fair sail ing. A OHAXCR FOIl A NOVr.MST. If the statement of the Uradshaw-Voor- Iieo3 murder case , ns given to the public by the prisoner's irlonds , is true , the case fur nishes mateiial fora htory worthy of a Lo- coca or Utiuorlenn. Uradshaw was convicted in ( iniro county In IB * ! , of the murder of. a man named Vooihees , and sent to the peni tentiary for life. It was .shown by Iho prose cuting nltoruoy that Yoorhees and Uradshaw liad come fiom Missouri land hunting , and thai , alter Voorhres' body was found In tinge county , Uradshaw was traced to his old home In Missouri and arrested. In Ids pos session was a wioneh , which was Identified as belonging to Voorliees , and on this nica- cio testimony , In the absence ot anything like a defense , a verdict of murder in the second degree was obtained. The prisoner's lawyer had asked fora continuance In order to ootniii witnesses , which the trial court ovei tided. An exception was taken , nnd Satuiday tills exception was dismissed by the state supienie comt on the tcchnlca ground that the time had been a ! lowed to lapse. The justices , however over , agreed that the now evidence presented went far townul ostaolisliing Bradsliuw's ln < noeence , and It Is probable that a petition foi Ids paidon will bo piosontcd. This evidence is to the otl'ect that Uradshaw nnd Voorhoes wuro joined in their travels by two men troir llavenna , Ohio , where they were known ns de-ipeiatocharaotcis.

[ Corrospondonc of the BIK. : ] The grand bustle , an pleased countenance pf our populace ii riieato- that some great and importaii event in the history ot our embryo clt is about to occur. Tlio fact is that th Ivack layers of the Union Pacific are no\ \ irlthiu eight miles of our villu o , and ar the rate of about ono mile per day. As this is our lirst railroad connection with the outer world , our friends cannot but appreciate our joy at forovcrmorc being able to discontinue our driving and freighting forty or fifty miles through mud and blizzards to other railroad towns , as has been our neces sity heretofore. The grand boom will slriKo ns within the next two weeks , and then we nxpcct n great rush of business. Then mechanics and capitalists , who , seeing the great advantages of our town will locate witli us. Loup City will bo the present terminus of tins branch of tlio Union Pa cific , and will control tlio trade of a largo scope of fertile farming country. This territory tributary to our trade is thickly settled by farmers and stock growers , whose productions guarantee prosperity and success to a thriving town of 0,000 to 10,000 Inhabitants. Our superior water power is a great inducement to manufacturers. Our healthful and pleasant climate is an in centive to draw the home-seeker.

[ Corre spondence of the UKK. ] Neopohs is tlio caption that designates an infant town whicli lias recently made its advent , and bids fair to do honor to its title. It is situated in the northern part of Buffalo county , in Garlield township , and will bo at the junction of the Union Pacific running from St. Paul westward and a branch ot the B. & M. extending from Grand Island. The town is admirably located , and bids fair to enjoy a rapid growth and reach considerable si/.e. It commands a scope of country some twenty-live square miles in extent , which cannot be excelled for the fertility of its soil. The surrounding country is thick ly settled by prosperous farmers who will welcome a nearer market , as they have had to so from liftecn to twenty live miles to dispose of their pro duce and secure provisions. Neopoljs is situated on the South Loup river whicli ailbrds niagnilicent water power for all manufacturing purposes , and its being situated at the junction of tlio two leading railroads of Nebraska guarantees to it tlio cheapest transporta tion. tion.Tho The town lias already been surveyed and platted and arnigomonts have boon made to construct several business and residence houses , and ore the summer is over a town will mark the spot which lias so recently boon a part of the open prairie. The interests of Neopolis are in the hands of wide awake business men who offer liberal inducements to all classes who may be seeking a desirable location. Tlio Antl-PollHh Agitation in Prussia. ULYSSES , Neb. , April 23. To the Ed itor : In answer to a special inquiry con cerning the recent anti-Polish agitation iu Prussia , L have received the following reply from Germany , which may bo of general interest. Respectfully , II. EMCIISON. Dear Sir : On February 28 I received your letter concerning the Poles , etc. It was too late to take any action , but I can act forth to you how matters stand. The German government has recently discovered an organized system of mili tary espionage supported by the secret fund of the French ministry of war. Its four principal agents were two Danes nnd two Poles , stationed at four headquarters in Germany. It has furnished to the French war department : First , tlio com plete German plans of mobilization in the event of war with Franco or witli llussia and Franco : secondly , largo portions tions of campaign plans ; thirdly , draw ings and specifications of all varieties ol , explosives and lire-arms intro need or projected in Germany ; fourthly , plans of countless fortilieations. Tliu discovery of this espionage has resulted Firstly , in a certain tension in Germany's diplomatic attitude toward France ; sec' ondly , in great humiliation in high mil itary circles in Germany ; thirdly , in the conviction and sentence to nine years' ' penal servitude of Sarann and Kraszew- skj , the poet ( since pardoned on account m. fore o ! policy ) ; tourthly , in tfio Adoption bv Hisinarck of a repressive policy toward ! alien subjects of Prussia. The Poles , being ing the largest and most anil-German bodv in Prussia , tlio point of his measures ures is directed mainly ugainst them hcnco , a. a treaty between. JUissia urn ! Prussia ( not Germany ) by whien each per niits ami invites the otlior to expel subjects jocts of the other whoso presence is nol felt to bo an obvious advantage. Undoi this treaty Prussia has expelled 80.00C Russian Poles and many Russians ; It , J5a varia followed suit in producing n shnilai treaty witli Russia , but it cncountorei FO unanimous an opposition in the chain bor that tlio reactionary cabinet has noi dared to act upon it oxccpt in finite isola ted instances. The roiclistag ot the Ger man empire also emphatically con domncd tlio action of Prussia , c. liis iiiarck has asked , and I think obtained i credit of b'00,000,000 marks , or$75,000,000 to buy out the Polish landlords. He in tends to settle Germans in their place b ; letting to thorn estates at a low rate o by parcelling the estates and scHlin ; German farmers on them. Diamurck does not intend to banisl Prussian Poles outright ; on the contrary ho thinks ho can Germanize the majority of tlio population by the aid of sclioojs courts .Hid army. I think ho will embitter tor the Poles so much ns to defeat hi : own ends. Two-thirds of tlio deputies p the national diet condemn his actions ii no measured terms and ho uses the tac tics adopted every now and then by th liritish commons towards the lords , i. o , throats of abolishment. I have no heard that the Poles are omigratincr , ex ccpt the 30,000 Russian Poles , who rotun to Russian Poland or go to Austria. Yours truly , * Ilnubl Uonsou's Lcctnro.

THE PAST , PRESENTAND FUTURE Failure of Civilization and Chris * tlaiuty to Clinnco tlio Indian I'aupors or Tramps ? Civili zation Imperative. tCOPVIIlOIITED 18SG.1 The fact that the Indian Is hero at all in this day is conclusive proof that there i-J something wrong in the life of the white man with whom ho lives. It is now 230 years since civilisation and Christianity came in contact with the savage life of the red man. It is believed that the num ber of Indians upon this continent when our fathers came here was about the 5511110 that is he.ro. jiojy ami t5 ! ; Condition of the Indians in character , in mode of life , and in all the traits which distinguish them , dl libra very little now from the condition of tlioM ) who greeted the Pilgtiins at Plymouth Hock and the cavaliers on the James river. There are , of course , ex ceptions , and there is of late considerable progress toward n radlc'il ' change in all these particulars ; yet no such impression has been tnado by the life and character brought hero by our fathers upon that they found among the people who were hero before them which need qualify the statement hero made. There cannot bo found in the history of the world a parallel to this fact. Nowhere else have civilization and Christianity come in con tact with barbarism and savage life and made so little impression upon them as here. It would be interesting to dwell at length uiioii the cause of this failure on the part of the white people who name hero to force out of existence the barbar ism they lirst encountered. The Indians , as a whole , lead the same life of idleness , are as ignorant to-day of the language which civilization and Christianity brought here , refuse as persistently to walk in their ways and adopt their faith as in the outset. Why is it ? One cannot help believing that this con dition of things is largely the fault of those who boast a higher life and a bettor faith. There is too much reason to bo- Hove that the failure on the part of civil- y.atiou and Christianity in the struggle witii this barbarism is owing to their lack of honesty and fair dealing with tno In dian tribes tlioycneountered. They never dealt fairly and squarely with the In dian , ? , a nl they wore never able to teach the Indians to "trust them , because they never kept faith with them. 1'hoy treated with the Indians as an independent power and then they violated their treaties and violated them as soon as the fear which originated them had passed away. They bought the Indians' lands and cheated them out of the pay. They quarrelled with thorn when the whites grew stronger and adopted the Indian methods of warfare , lying in ambush for them , violating Hags of truce , laying waste their habitations and slaugh tering their women and children. And in later years , after wars with the Indians have seemed to bq impossible , devices that between white men themselves would be denounced as frauds have been resorted to to deprive them of what re mains of their heritage ; and now wo wonder why they do not adopt our mode of life , our language and our religion. The woiulor is rather that it is possible after such treatment to make any im pression at all upon the Indian charac ter. MEASURE FOlt JIEASUIIE. While this mode of treatment is not de nied many seem to think it is justilied be cause the Indians have failed to bear it all with the patience and forebearanco of saints. They have , it is true , mot this kind of treatment with savage retaliation and they have sometimes met with savage orgies tlio cruelties which white men liavo inllictcd upon them , and in doing this they have not been far away from the methods which those who boast of their civilization and Christianity have pursued. in their strifes with their fellow men. Measure for measure is not meted out by the savage alone. If one at this day wishes to repeat the question , why the In dian has remained a cruel savage for these many years of contact with white men , let him study thoroughly the treat ment that the Indian has received at the hands of the white man and ho will iind an answer. Briclly , this is the Indian of the past. Till : INDIAN ALWAYS WITH US. The Indian of the present is that same Indian substantially in all his main char acteristics , but living under conditions very dill'erent from those under which ho lived during the many years of vain struggle for his rights. The past treat ment of the Indian was largely upon the theory that ho was to vanish before the onward progress of civilization in this country. The white men svoro to increase and the Indians to decrease. They were to fade out and pass away be fore tlio irresistible progress of civiliza tion. Hut a more thorough study of In dian life has made it very clear that this theory was erroneous. In point of fact ho does not decrease. There have been periods , without doubt , in the history of the Indian tribes in this country sincn llioy were first known hero , hi which their numbers have diminished very rapid ly. There have been a great many rea sons for this decrease , some of which have entirely passed away. Wars have ceased between Indian tribes , as well as Indians and white men. Their exposure to the rigors of tlio climate , to the ravages oruiseasoaswCirsS7. ' * " " " * > , h'wbccu greatly diminished and wherever their condition has improved their numbor.s have increased , and the last quarter of a century has witnessed a very considerable increase in their number. It is now a faot well established that the Indian is always to bo with Its ; but ho is to bo no longer with us the Indian ' of the , past. Ho can no longer live 'n ? his fathers lived. The handful that they mot first at Plymouth - mouth and Jamestown have multiplied into 00.000,000. The boundless heritage of wilderness over which the Indian roamed unmolested in the past has given way to cities and towns and rail ways and tek'graphsQ anil all the teaming lifo and business of civilization. The game upon which ho subsisted has disappeared. There is not an acre of soil left to him capable of cultivation that ho can safely call nis own. There is no seclusion to which this unfortunate people ple can bctako themsolvns that the ag gressive foot ot the white man will not roaoh before they have built a wigwam. They are literally surrounded , and the ranks are closing in upon them. All this while they are still untutored and un trained savages , speaking an unknown tongue , untaught in the ways of civilized lifo ami utterly powerless to sustain themselves by the labor of their own hands , It requires no argument to con vince the thoughtful that u body of idle , ignorant savages 300,000 strong , with no abiding place among the people , with no means of support at their own command and with no ability or disposition to earn their own livelihood , bred in everything that is savage and cruel , brooding over wrongs inflicted and hard ships unjustly brought upon them , is a dangerous clement in society. They have never known restraint , they are utterly ignorant of the laws1 which impose re straint upon them ; never possessing property of their own , they know not what it means to others. They are gov erned by their necessities , and by power only when it shall bo laid upon them. AN AHMV OF I'AUrEHS OH TItA.MPS. The Indian problem of the day is. no light question to bo solvtd ofl'-hand or cast ono side as of no consequence. We see frequently in .the public prints and hear in nubile discussions , now solutions of the Indian i problem as it 1.1 called , taken up and disposed of as if it were the work of an hour , but to thojo upon whom the administration of Indian afl'airs has devolved und -ligso duty it is to provide against the evil consequences likely to follow a continuance of the existing con dition of affairs , it seems full of difll- cullies. To them there is no way out of the present condition of things , nor nro the methods of treatment easy. This al ternative presents itself to them at ovcry stop. An army of paupers to be sup ported in ignorance and in idleness at an enormous and ever increasing ex pense to tlio nation , or an army of savngo tramps taking their own livelihood into their own hands knowing no law but that of might , and held under no otlior restraint than that the brutal instinct of fear imposes upon them , sput tered throughout communities unpro tected from their lawlessness and con stantly exposed to tlio outrages which savngo instinct shall suggest. The statesman - man Jh ojiJiihinthropi-i ; .r..i i-l0- Christian al'.lte must leel tluil oirWr alternative is unendurable , and that no policy of tills government toward the Indians which leaves them , as they are , certain to be- eomo the ono or the oilier of these dis- tnrblnir ami dangerous elements in soci ety , can 1)0 m.ilntaiiied for a moment. What , then , is left to bo done with tlio Indian in the future ? Ho is certain lo belie ( lie beggar or the tram ) ) if loft to himself. Ho will not die. Ho will not starve. If he remains an idle savage in our midst wo must feed him or he will food himself. The nation has been a good wliilo coming to face this condition of things. It has been unwilling to deal witli the Indians on any other theory Hum that they shall pass inyay and cease to trouble us. They have tried all other methods except the one that admits the fact that the Indian is to remain with us. Gradually , until lately , but now very generally , the truth has been forced upon the nation that it must accept tins among the prob lems of our government , tiiat they are to have the Indian as well as the negro a part of our permanent population. Wo are forced to consider , witli the Indian as well as the negro , whether ho shall re main a distinct , alien and barbarous race among our people , refusing to assimilate , an insoluble sniistaneo in the body poll- tie , or whether by some method ho may not be made a part of the people who are compelled to live with him , bearing with them the burdens and en joying the immunities of a common gov ernment. t'OUCHU TO CIV1MZR TIIK INDIAN' . Thus have wo been led step by step to the policy which by a general concurrence of public opinion now prevails. Wo liavo been forced to the conclusion that there is no other way open to us than to at tempt to make something out of the Indian. Haying failed in all other meth ods , it is little to our credit that wo are now trying this , the only one left to us. The success of Captain Pratt at St. Augustine in controlling wild prisoners of war by teaching them now to work has suggested to the government the method now pursued. iCaptain Pratt took his Indians to tlio school at Hampton , and by patient 9iidoavor brought out of twenty-three { savage and brutal Indians twenty-ono wcJl equipped and Intelligent men now ongngcu.iu useful occupations and discharging with credit to themselves and beuclit o'thoir ' fellow men tlio duties ami obligations ot citizens. From this boginniiig lias grown the policy of Indian . education and civiliza tion which has now enlisted the general support of tltif , public and the earnest eo- _ opcrntion of the government. With it are other auxiliary methods , sueh as the allotment to Indians of lands in severally , the kindling in his breast of the desire to acquire and'kee'p ' property of his own , and witli it _ the disposition to keep also the peace with tliosoi around him. Now ways of reaching him and winning him from his barbarous life are constantly opening , and the progress made in tlio work , which has many sides and many phases , but is generally described as tlio effort to make something out of tlio In dian , is most encouraging. K.VI'11) OKOWTII OF INDIAN SCHOOLS. Indian schools constitute the main fea ture of this work. It is but ten years since the lirst general appropriation for Indian schools was made by congress and the constant increase in these appropria tions is a good measure of tlio faith of the government and those enlisted with it in this work have in its success. The lirst appropriation for this purpose in 1870 was only $20,000. In 1877 it was $30,000 ; in 1878 , $00,000 ; in 1870 , $80,000 ; in 1830 , $80,000 ; in 1881. $85,000 ; in 1883 , $150,000 ! in 1893. $080,000 ; in 1881 , $ 'J92,000 ' ; in 1883 , $1.107,000. The schools themselves have not only increased in number , but they have in a much larger ratio increased in ollicieney. Indian education is far better understood now than when it was under taken ten years ago. Nearly one-half of all the Indian children of tfio school ago have been brought to attend more or less upon these schools and Iho adult Indians liavo also made great advances toward civilization and self-support. There are now 201 boarding and day schools supported in whole or in part by the government , and the average attend ance of scholars ilurin" tlio last year was 0,31-1. Supplementing this work of school education is what may bo called farming education. A sum of money has been appropriated lor two or three years past , amounting the present year to $50,000 , for the employment of assistant or prac tical farmers among the Indians whoso business it is to show the Indians how to cultivate tlio soil. The result from this appropriation has been very encourag ing so much so that ibis feature of In dian education is commending itself so strongly that there are those who advo cate it ill prgferonce to any other kind of Indian education. IANI ) IN SRVr.ItAMTV. With this comes land in severally , or the allotment to individual Indians so far advanced as to know the value of laud , of 100 acres each , lo bo his in fee , with the single limitation that no shall not nllorialo H'hitwoTYty-nVb years , There are very many minor auxiliaries to this system of education which commend themselves to these who arc iu tlio work , 1ml whieli can not well bo pointed out in detail , They arise on this spot and are tlio suggestions or/minds ( puck to see the necessities andopportimitics of the In dians witli whom they have to deal. The good results that ilro to follow from this policy , pursue with vigor and intelli gence and persisted in witli pa tience and /icrqovurcnco / , can hard- jy as yet , bo measured , for it is hardly ten years since it was begun , but the reports from tlio Indian agen cies , as n whole , give gratifying assur ance that the 'Indian ' is making healthy progress toward civilization and self-sup port. It enables. , the government each year to mnko inallor appropriations for the subsistence oft the Indians and more for their civilization. In Iho pending In dian appropriation bill more than $100- 000 has boon taken from the head of sub sistence and support and transferred to that of education and civilization. And thus this work is being amplilied and pushed forward more and more each year without any addition to the ag gregate appropriations for the Indian servico'.EJThoro is reusou to believe that tha time is not distant wnon the Indian wilj disappear in the self-supporting , in telligent und useful citizen.

Do'islus ' sFrcerr The sowing school was opened at the same time with the mission and has been in operation ever since. At present wo have about 150 or more scholars enrolled , though to-day t Inn o are but 1513 in tlio room. These are divided tip into classes of about six or seven. No , there is no grading in the classes. The work is confined mainly to plain sowing , siieh as making of tin- tlorwenr , aprons , etc. A few dresses have been made , but not many. Each scholar is entitled to everything she makes. Some of the girls are really very prolieiont , and cut and baste ami sew with astonishing skill. Most of them , however , eomo hero with out tlio slightest knowledge of needle work , and nave to learn slowlv and by degrees. Wo consider this branch of work a most important one , for the poorer classes ought to have a thorough knowledge of the very things wo are teaching ] The school is undoubtedly doing a great deal of good. The only trouble is to secure the necessary funds to carry on the work to buy cloth and dillbrent materials which the scholars themselves are too poor to purchase. Then again wo want teachers. Some of the classes are too largo to allow the scholars to learn rapidly. There really ought not to bo more than three or four in a class at the most , live. Yes , the school is carried on all the year round , in summer as well as winter. " In addition to tlio large main room in which the sowing classes are hold , there is a small cutting room in the roar where the scholars are taught to cut tlio garments whicli they sow. The girls take their turn at the cutting board , and are required to work rapidly , and at the same time as neatly ami skillfully as pos sible. In connection with the sewing school. there are opening exercises of song and prayer , leu by the superintendent. At nine o'clock , sharp , the school is opened , and at cloven o'clock the work is closed. Promptly at that time , the youthful seam stresses lay aside their sewing to take it up on tlio following Saturday. This branch of work is a deserving ono , and certainly ought to have the support of all the charitably inclined. Smoked on iho Sablmtli. Shortly after the doors of the police court were thrown open Saturday , a very excited individual came rushing in. Ho gave his name as Wolf Calm , "Judge , " ho said , " 1 want to plead guiltv to making an assault on another man. I want you to line mo right away. " "I can't do that , " roulied Judge Sten- berg , "until 1 have heard both sides of the ease. What have you got to say ? " Cahnl wliois ajLierniaixJcw , went on to tell ho'w a follow countryman named G. Umber , had traduced his character by telling it about town that ho ( Calm ) had smoked cigarettes on the Jewish Sabbath. which was in violation of a strict rule of their religion. The next time the two met. a lively racket ensued in which Gnibgr was considerably worsted. Calm had just finished tolling his slor.y when the plaintiff came rushing in , and repeated the same story with variations in ills favor. Judge Stcnberg disposed of the m alter by lining CahiHrO and costs Bold Tramps.

Boycotting did not originate in America ica , but it was started long before UK slavery troubles became annoying , Tjn boycott , like the whirling chair , the Vir ginia and Kentucky resolutions , and tin scheme to defend our coasts by batterici on wheels , originated with Thomas Jot fer on. It will be remembered that b.\ the embargo wo boycotted every specie1 of English goods ; wo neither bought o that company nor sold to her. The shipi of Now England were Buffered to Ho rot ting at the wharves ami American foreigi trade was at a complete standstill. Tin famous , or infamous , Hartford con von lion , with its debates on secession , wai tno result of that boycott , and the luke warmness ot the cast in the war of 181' may bo traced to that. It was not i highly successful boycott , but it occupiei a pretty big place in history. PILKSl ulMlTl53 ! PILES A sure euro for Hllnd.

[ 1' ° tluj Editor : ] Your valuable paper seems to liavo taken the lend in this state on nil questions of political anil social ruform anil 1 sliould like to contributes my mho to what arc tliu most leading questions of the day , viz. land and labor trouble. Every body seems to liavo some grievances , 'but no ono scams to know what they want to satis fy them. Some want arbrltration , some co-operation and others land pur chase and homo rule , but nobody has any dolinito idea of the cause of all this dis turbance oxccpt ono man. Henry George pointed out the cause and predicted the result of these troubles liftecn years ago , and is the only man in tno world who Inn given a remedy , yet this remedy and the man liavo alike been uored , A'nil why ? because this remedy strikes at the cause titles in land. All others are homeopathic In compar ison with this : This is a euro from the old school which has sought the oausu ami proscribed for it regardless of all symptoms. What good will home nile and land purchase do with the Irish people if it wont Into ell'ect to-morrow ? At most it would bo but temporary and would cvonlimto in the sumo condition of alVairs as now exists. The small hunt ow ners would become largo land owners , some will fail to make their payments ami the more snoeesstul will relieve them oftheir charge , and be come land lords in their turn. Besides , the agricultural people of Ireland do not comprise the entire population. \ \ hat will thn mill operatives in Uclfasl do Will it bettor their condition any ? Most certainly not ; and yet , they outnumber the agricultural laborers by half. In this country no land quotum is agitated in the great strikes of to-day. That ques tion is over-looked entirely , and why ? because this is a sparsely settled country as yet , but it won't ' bo for long if lail- roaus and land .syndicates succeed in their land grabbing schemes in the future as well as they have in the past. People forget that the Pacific coast will bo reached in a few years , but immigration from the older countries will continue until the United States will bo as densely settled as Europe is to-day , and then what will bo the dill'erenco in our condition ? None whatever. All the questions and dilHeultios will confront us then as surely as they do llie Glad- stonians and the English people to-day. Mr. Powdorly is asked to solve the strike troubles of the west and southwest for the congressional committee. Will ho solve it on the land basis or not ? If not , he will certainly fail to do a permanent good. All tlip writers of our day acknowledge the existing evils , such as the Paoilic railroad steal , tarill'for protection , con centration of capital , stock watering , etc. , but they keep away from the only solution of the problem that has over been given to tlio people of any age. that is to abolish titles in land and all ( axes , except on land valaution. This may prove untenable , but in the absence of any other definite solution , why not agitate it and prove so instead ot de nouncing it as too radical ? CJ. O. S.
