THE secession movement in Nova Sco
tia is a matter of dollars and cents nnd
not of sentiment. Premier Fielding in
an address just issued says that when the
province joined tlio union they worn told

but instead of that the figures were
189,000,000.

passed the house and will now run the

ready predicting that the influences which
"wore " not strong enough to affect the
lower house will prove powerful in defeating -

( strong lobby is already working hard to
force "hog butter" upon an unsuspecting
public as the product of honest creameries -
ios and clean farm dairies.

A Sonnrt Platform.
The Knights of Labor have proposed
some fantastic and impracticable legis
lation at their Cleveland convention , but
they constructed a substantial piece of
workmanship when they adopted the
following platform of principles to
which wo again cive place In our col-
tunes :
I. We demand that the public lands bo ie-
scncd for actual settler * only.
'i. Wo demand that all lands owned by In
dividuals or corporations in PXCCSS of IfiO
acres not under cultivation shall be taxed to
their full value , the same as cultivated lands.
'I. Wo demand the I in mod In to forfcltute of
nil lands u hero the conditions of the grant
have not been compiled with ,
4. We demand that patents boat once Is
sued for all \\hcrotlmeomlltlons ha\e
been compiled with , and that taxe be as
sessed on those lands as If under cultivation.
I ) . \Ve domain ! tlio Immediate removal of
all fences from the public lauds.
0. Wn demand that after 1SHJ the irovern-
incut obtnln i > ( wctiloti by tmrclmso of all
lauds now held by aliens at nmiratsed valua
tions.
7. Wo demand that after ISSfl aliens bo pro
hibited from obtaining land titles.
H. Wcdumand thaabolition of all laws re-
nulling a property mmlllicaUon to enable a
citizen to vote.
V. We demand that a graduated Income tax
be levied.
10. We pintcU against the small appropria
tions fur the national bme.ui of labor
statistics.
II. We demand the passage of the bills ap
proved by the eniicressloiial labor committee.
1U. Wo demand lite enactment of a law
prohibiting the employment of minors In
factories , mines , shops , etc. , for tiioic than
eight hours per day.
With the mass .of the recommendations
all honest and thinking men will agrco.
The demands forrcformof the land laws ,
the taxation of uita\ed lands , the repeal
of unearned land grants and the prohibi
tion of alien landlordism are in a line
with the best and mostcnlightoncd public
sentiment. Congress recognized tills in
making these questions , which the Cleve
land conference urges upon its atten
tion , matters reserved for immediate con
sideration audio which all minor.subjects
must give precedence.
Thrift nml Saving.
Thrift and saving go hand in hand.
Tito worklnginan , or clerk , or small capi
talist , who consistently lays aside a part
of iris earnings , however small , for a
rainy day , is certain lo succeed in the
race for a comfortable competency. The
man who made the largest fortune of his
day in America earned the boat which
gave him a start bv saving a hundred
dollars from his day's labor. Capital is
nothing more than accumulated money.
The laborer with lilty dollars drawing
interest and on hand to invest
when favorable opportunity presents is a
capitalist in the eyes of those who spend
their earnings and dodge collectors
when bill day and the month put in an
appearance , .tew people realize how
much the advancement of American
laborers is duo to the extent to which
they patroni/e the savings institutions.
Their reports are a standing evidence of
the thrift of the poorer clusses. In 1883
the little state of Rhode Island , with a
imputation not exceeding 323,000 and not
more than 130,000 persons engaged in
any kind of "gainful occupation , " had
savings bank deposits of no less than
$51,810,300 , or about $100 for every man ,
woman and child in the state. Massachu
setts , in the same year , had deposits
of 127-1,998,312 , an average of $141.04 for
each person in the btato that year. Tlio
most astonishing thing , however , is the
fact that there were 818,787 deposit ac
counts , or nearly half as many as the entire - ,
tire population of the state , and more
than its workers. Of course , this shows
that many individuals had more than ono
account , but it leaves no room for doubt
that the vast majority of the wage earners
of Massachusetts have bank accounts.
If the whole country were as rich as
Massachusetts in savings bank deposits
these institutions would hold the enor
mous sum of $8.000,000,000 , or about
twice the cost of the entire railroad sys
tem of the United States.
Suspending the Land Liaws.
The action of the bonatc caucus in mak
ing the bills for the repeal of the
pre-emption , timber culture and
desert lands acts preferred subjects for
legislationand the advanced condition of
these bills upon the house calandar , are
probably responsible for the circular
issued by Commissioner Sparks , suspend
ing the operation of the above named
laws until August Registers of laud
ofliccs have been notilicd to receive no
more filings and land hunters will now bo
compelled to restrict themselves to homesteading -
steading , instead of the various entries
heretofore permitted under our loose sys
tem of land oflice privileges.
The usual howl may bo expected from
the cattle barons and land syndicates , to
whose abuse of the land laws is chiolly
due the general movement for their re
peal. Land grabbers , masquerading as
"honest settlers , " will fill the territorial
papers with their squcals.and Mr. Sparks
will bo onpo moro spitted on the lanoo of
a "public opinion" which has no exist
ence except in the imagination of the
dishonest tricksters whom ho has check
mated ,
There is no danger that the homestead
Jaw will not be amply aulllclont for the
needs of actual settlors. Under its pro
visions the government will still pontinuo
to donate 160 acres to every applicant
who will live live years on his farm and
improve It sufliciontly to show his good
faith as a settlor. The homestead law has
built up communities by bringing into
the now counties permanent residents.
The pre-omption law of late years has
largely operated to build up the fortunes
of non-resident speculators. There will
bo little sorrow over the repeal of the
timber culture , pro-omption and deseit
lands acts , The llrst two'havo had their
day , The last has been u harbor of refuge -
ugo for fraud and jobbery over since its
enactment.
A Victory for Van Wyok.
Tlio senator from Nebraska scoicd a
remarkable victory in the senate on
Thursday by securing the passage 01 hia
bill taxing the railroad land grants nnd
compelling the companies to pay to the
government the cost of survojlng , select
ing and convoying the land. Jly a bril
liant stroke Senator Van > Vyck succeeded
In substituting the subject matter of
his own bill for that of the house bill ,
leaving only the enacting clause of the
latter and striking out tho. title of the
houau bill , thus making the. menhitro as
passed nn amcndud bill already passed
by the lower house. Before the railroad
lobby had recovered from their surprise ,
tlio bill was referred to a conference
committee of the two houses and Senator
Van Wyc ! < had made hUpplut.
This action of ( ho sun.Uq probably de
termines tlio success of the measure. All
that is needed now is the adoption of the
report of the conference committee In the
two houses. The simple pas. ago of the
senate bill would hare sent that nicasuro
to the bottom of the house calendar o
bills passed by the scnatc < wlicrcit wo'nli
have been subject lo the usual Intermlna
1 > le delays in awaiting consideration
Senator Van Wyck's shrewd tactic ;
changed the status at once. It secure *
the passage of his own bill nnd gave , I
precedence over other legislation by mak
ing it amendatory of the measure passci
by the house. The senator from Ne
braska knew the Held in which ho was
lighting his battle against the monopoly
lobby and ho took every advantage ol
the situation. The result was the rout of
his enemies.
Other Jinmln Than Oilr-s.
The Irish debate has been enlivened
during the week by speeches from Cham
berlain and Sexton , rumors of approach
ing ministerial resignations , and expec
tancy of a dissolution of pnrliament aa
soon as a division was reached on the
second reading of the homo rule bill.
Rulical opposition to the measure has
made the defeat of the second reading
scarcely doubtful , and the cabinet isonly
lighting for delay. Mr. Gladstone feels
sttro that the ministry must fall , but he is
anxious if possiblu to postpone a general
election until ne\t fall , in order
that his party may secure the
benefits of tlio now registration.
act. It is reported that if all other plans
fail , the premier will even resign and
permit llartington to form a ministry
which will bo retained in oflice until the
liberals find it convenient to overthrow
it in the autumn and percipilato an elec
tion tinder moro favorable auspices. Hut
both sides are preparing for an immedi
ate election. Forty-seven radicals follow
ing Chamberlain's lead have pledged
themselves to vote agiinst the measure ,
and the opposition vote is estimated as
more than sutUciunt to secure its defeat
when it comes up on Monthly.
Hut tlio Irish people are nol
not discouraged at the threats of defeat
ing the ( Hailstone bill that come from the
conservatives. Even if it wcro defeated
to-morrow , it would not dismay them.
Their cause has been fought for and won.
As Justin McCarthy say.s : "Happen wluil
may , Mr. Gladstone has already secured
self-government for Ireland. "
\
The possibility of the ministry resign
ing in order to hold parliament over until
the tall , brings up discussion as to Lord
Hartingtoii's probable course in case ho
is designated ns Mr. Gladstone's succes
sor. The new ministry will be a coalition
one , without doubt , in which all shades
of political opinion opposed to homo rule
will be represented. Coalition ministries
in England arc proverbially short-lived ,
and this is quite certain to prove no ex >
ccption to the rule. Nobody expects it
to last longer than untjl autumn , and its
collapse will bo an imminent probability
from the moment of its birth. The down
fall of the Gladstone government will rel
egate to the people the whole ques
tion of home rule and of Ire
land's relations to the empire.
A terrific battle will bo fought at the polls
in the autumn. Michael Davett cables
from London that ' 'Mr. Parnell is also
confident that ho will come backto West
minster with a party in no wise dimin-
ihhcd. The Irish voters in Great Hntain
will this time bo asked to poll
in favor of Gladstone to a man.
This they will do with graceful re
membrance of the only English
statesman in history who has braved
imperial power in behalf of Ireland.
This they will do with enthusiasm in tlio
carrying out of a policy which has at
length begun to be noble and patriotic to
their eyes. Mr. Paruoll is sure of the
royal and hearty co-operation of every
nationalist having influence with the pee
ple. Should Gladstone , however , be de
feated at the general elections ; should
the unholy combination as among Salis
bury , llartington and Chamberlain suc
ceed in persuading the election to return
a majority against homo rule , then one
of the most vital crises in the modern
history of Ireland and of England per
haps will have to bo fought between the
Irish national strength and coercion. "

English and Trench engineers have ro-
vivcd the dibcussion of the Indo-Euro
pean route contemplated before the com
pletion of the Suex canal. The English
government has already surveyed the
line of a railroad from tlio Mediterranean
across Turkey , connecting with the Eu
phrates , but the project now under dis
cussion is to connect the river with the
Mediterranean by a canal cut south of
Aleppo. This" would glvo a navigable
route from the Mediterranean through
Syria and the once fertile Mesopotamia ! !
valley , along the Persian coast , through
the Persian gulf , to India. Emil Kudo ,
who writes of the plan In the ttritish lie-
view , thinks that to cut the canal and
turn the current of Indo-European trade
down the Euphrates valley would result
in redeeming it from its present desolate
condition , and restore to it something of
tlio prosperity it enjoyed when it was tlio
pathway of trade between Europe and
buforu the Christian era.

THE G. A. It. MAN WHO TOASTED JUl'l'
DAVIS.
Tim rise and culmination of the annual
Decoration day sentiment has kept old
soldiers talking about the toasting of
Jeff Davis by Captain Saundcrs , member
of the ( iSranu Army post of Alt. Vernon ,
N. Y. I passed tnrough Alt. Vernon by
train a day or two ago and had to listen
to a half-hour discussion by several of the
captain's acquaintances who boarded the
tram and took seats near mo. It was
quickly manifested that it was the "lead
ing topic" of town talk , and that public
opinion was not only divided but subdivided
vided , and that although there were some
Mt. Veruon patriots who helped conquer
the confederate armies who would have
cheerfully done as Mr. Saunders did if
they had been lucky cnouch to sell the
givers of the feast some hundreds of bas
kets of champagne ; you probably know
that Saunders is a wine merchant and
went to Savannah , whore nis character
istic toast was given , strictly for business
purposes , which were accomplished
greatly to his satisfaction During the
hubbub Saundcrs has maintained a calm ,
air that has
nonc-of-yotir-blank-business
done more than the Davis toast tocuragu
his heighbors , for Alt. Vernon has roaclwd
the exact si/.u about five thousand in
habitants which makes a community
think itself the heaven-constituted man
ager of the affairs of elicit of its citizens
and it does not like Saunders' implica
tion that he is responsible to nothing but
ills own sense of propriety. Captain Satin-
dors is about lifty-live years ot ago , and is
said by his lady admirers to IOOK a great
deal like President Arthur a resem
blance which holds good so far as ro
tundity , cut of whiskers , dignified and
management of an ivory headed cane
go. Ho has hosts of friends in New
York , and even in his own town the al
leged "public sentiment" against him
has not been strong enough to compel
the Grand Army post , to which he be
longs , to expel him. A man who can
sell a 1,000 bottles of champagne on a
single trip , and make a $1,000 by the
operation , is in spite of his faults a big
man in a small town.
SOME FISH TALK.
Perhaps some of vour readers think
there is noi longer any sectional feeling
in the United States except in some be
nighted , unrailroudod parts of the south.
If such there be , tluiy would bo speedily
undeceived could they visit our two
great fish markets ono on each side of
the city--and hear what fish dealers and
fishermen who fi h for a living say about
the proposed bill to prevent the catching
of mackerel oft' our coast during the
spring months. Tlio Now York markets
sell about one quarter of all the tish con
sumed in the United States , and their
period of greatest sales always takes in
the whole of March and generally part
of April , for in these is the period of
Lent , during which about one-half of the
local population is by church rule for
bidden to eat meat except on specified
days. The great majority of this half
consists of people who are poor enough
to count every penny , and to them the
mackerel is a sunny-faced blessincr , for it
is always the cheapest fish in the market
during the spring. Since it was learned' '
that the mackerel could bo faster caught
by suinoa and purse-nets than by the
hook , and since the watery course of the
laid mackerel's spring tour has been
known , the season begins early , and as
F.ir south as the Carolina capes ; so Now
York liithormcn have kept the market
well supplied. The fish do not got as far
north as the Now Kngland coast until
rune , so a fisherman staled tlio case to
me a day or twd ago. as follows :
"Them Maine an' Massachusetts suck
ers jist want to takn the bread out of the
noiiths of lib Now Yorkers in the same
inu of biz. While wo can ketch nmckril
anywhere south of New York nn1 bring
'em to market they can't send cod air
litlibtit hero at livm' ' liggors.so they want
congress to make us starve. Kf New
York's poor folks want cheap fish in Lent
.nuy must buy salt muckril or cod thet
.ho'Yankees ketohcd last year , Kt the
. { tinker Millers is satlstied to eat codfish-
> ; ills alt through the spring , let 'em do It ,
jut when they come lo bossin' Now
York's breakfasts an' dinners , they're
wuss than the Britishers that trot us into
i national Uunpost over family teapots ,
vf Now England's got so big that no-
joily can make , his livin' an' eat wlnt ho

Nil dealers , let New Kugl.ind sueedo an'
iiui Canudy. This Is a nation of men ,
lot hogs , an' ' the quicker Now Kngland
s made to know it. the quicker
slm'll stand oliunco of u\U\n \ \ < decent , "
Ant ) some univnrmilly aeeepttsil author-
ties uii the lish ( pule , who stood by , anhl
ho old li.slienn\n : had put the maUer in
ts right light.
UAMKIIIOAN OI'EIIA ,
I hear from Chicago that when ( he
Vmorloan opera opened in that city List
vcok there was uu attempt made by the
aHhionablo element , to mttku Urn audi
ences ONduslvo , tuul tluft there \yil.n some
luniror tlio dress ooat would ( ] oinnatu ! tlio
itiiatioti and kill the American outer-
trise , AS it had 1(0110 ( the week buforu for
tli\pleson , : I can say from personal ob-
ervation that there was no such non-
euso in New York during the American
an.mnuny'4 season. In our Academy ot
tlnsio there about n hundred l > oxvi "d.
ho .mulu occupants of these wcro gcuer-
ally attired In slccl pen coats and white
ties , such a all of Dolmonlco's wallers
wear , butgotttlonion in the thousand or
more remaining scats considered U suf
ficient to wear clothing such as was ap
propriate to any other lirat-olnss place of
amusement. Opera depends entirely on
what voti go for. If you merely make it
an opportunity to call on ladles whom you
would otherwise visit at their homes , or
If you merely wanted to stand around in
lobbies to bo looked at , you wear a dress
suit , but If you go to hear the tmislo you
do not take the trouble to change cloth
ing , which was good enough to bo seen
In Dtisiness circles all day or to make an
afternoon call In. A dress coat opera
season has always meant that hundreds
of scats had to bo filled by going out to
neighboring club rooms mm bar rooms ,
antlgiving away hundreds of tickets to
the best drcs ed men who can bo found ;
it also meant that the stockholders of the
academy had to assess themselves at the
end of tlio soas'on or before to help the
manager out of the dlllleitltlcs. There
were no Hitch trouble during the American
opera's Now York season , for the name of
'Ihoodoro Thomas was of itself enough
to draw all the people who have been
crowding his Philharmonic concerts
during the past ton years. They had
more bruins , nnd certainly more money ,
than the customary dic s coal loafer ;
they went to hear the music instead of to
stare and bo stared at , nnd the
death of some single member of
a certain social .set was nol enough
to compel the stage to play and sing to
empty seats. I dropped In there every
ether night , regardless of what my dress
might be. nud I found scores of acquain
tances wtio did the same , nnd I never
discovered that my friends in the boxes
were sorry to sou nui when 1 wsis not
carefully " dressed , like a restaurant
waiter. Neither did any impecunious
swell , who had botighl only a "standee"
ticket , drop a ticket into my hand anil
ask mo lo put him into the seat of some
subscriber who hadn't come , as has hap
pened lo many a man \yho drc9 ° od in u
swallow-tail and white tic , and standing
for a moment just inside the door has
been mistaken for an usher. The dress-
suit has its uses ; it lasts forever , and
will enable any man whoso only other
suit is ragged and dirty to make a respect
able appearance Iu the evenlng ; but it is
not a necessary pro ) ) to music , whether
operatic or otherwise , and when tlio
public find this put there will be fewer
operatic companies who sing well and
have nothing but unpaid board bills at
the end. JOHN
FRUIT AND HEALTH.
A Vow Facts ItouanlliiK the Aotloi
or Fruit AciilH on the Stomach
and Teetli.
The lu-cloiis strnwbciry is the lirs
fruit of the season tlmt is onioyod in tin
liitittide , although closely followed by tin
churry , the vor.y grcon apple nnd variou
berries in their order. Much fruit i
uiton : , nnd it is well that nil should know
the relations of this footl to health. The
acids in fruit act also on the teeth , am
the following extract from "Items o
Interest , " a dental journal , will not bi
devoid of interest :
Every agreeable fruit contains three
principal elements on which its attract
ivoncness depends. Those are acid
sugar anil flavoring material. The acids
are citric , malic and tartaric. The citric
acid exists in the orange , lemon , cran
berry , raspberry , strawberry and rcc
currant. The malic acid is contained hi
tlio apple and pear , and tartaric acid ia
the sour principle of grapes. These acids
are capable , by long-continued applica
tion , of dissolving the solid .substances of
tlie teeth , and were they no provisions
of nature against it wo should pay fet
our enjoyment of the fruit by the inevit
able loss of these organs. It is the first
faint traces of this corroding action
which causes the teeth to feel rough and
"set on edge" when eating. Rino fruits
contain not only acids , but nlso'n small
portion of potash. When taken into the
stomach the acid , being n vegetable com
pound , is digested and destroyed and
rendered no longer an acid , but nutritive
material. The potash , on the contrary ,
being a mineral substance , cannot bo
thus destroyed , but is absorbed into the
blood and circulates to every part of thu
system , rendering the blood alkaline.
The alkalies of tlio blood being thus
abundantly furnished to the salivary
glands , insure a constant alkaline charac
ter to the saliva , which flows into the
mouth and instantly neutralizes any acid
which the fruit may have loft on the
teeth. This .singular provision of nature ,
however , is perfect only iu persons of
good digestion.
If the stomach is feeble , or the indul
gence in fruit excessive , the acids of the
fiuit are not destroyed. They pass into
the intestines and ure absorbed into the
blood , diminishing its alkaline character
nnd depriving the saliva of its neutralis
ing elements. In mid ; cases the fruits
exert a directly injurious effect on the
teeth. Hence , one reason why a disor
dered .stomach is apt to ho accompanied
by decay of the tooth. After referring to
the ethers that are contained in the
sugars , and which servo to gently excite
thodigostivenerves , \vritorconeludcs :
Practically , then , fruits are highly bene
ficial to persons of good digestion. In
proper quantities they furnish alkalies
to the blood and saliva which
protect the tooth from the action of the
acids. These alkalies , also , are natural
stimulants to the liver , so that steady
use of fruits tend powerfully to prevent
summer billions attacks. The summer
fruits , therefore , ure , to a ceitain extent ,
the natural antidotes to summer diseases.
Fragments of fruit skins and pulp t > ome-
limns lodge between the teetii and , act
ing as n sponge to absorb and retain
.acids . , keeps these corroding juices in
contact a long tune with tlio enamel ,
ultimately penetrating it and causing it
to decay. Thin should be removed. Let
all eat with reasonable freedom the ripe
fruits and enjoy the delicious flavors
which tlio maker of all things has prepared -
pared for the promotion of health and
enjoyment. A hound instinct points out
this course to us , and tlui teachings of
science confirm its mandates.
Many Yours In u Mail House ,
Jean Mistraltho supposed lunatlu , who
has been confined for years in the Mont-
puller asylum for the insane , has linallj'
boon liberated after a hctuing in his ease
by the Tarasuou tribunal , writes a Lon
don correspondent under the date of
Miiy'-M. Ills forluiio , with tint accumu
lated interest , now amounts to 03,100,000 ,
francs. His story is a peculiarly sad one ,
Ho is now searching for his wife , whom
his relatives oxpollml from France in
18.S7 because she refused in reluin for an
annuity of 500 frances to acknowledge
herself a woman of b.ul character. Jean
Mist nil is 11 cousin of hrcdorlek Mlatral ,
the pout , and is now an old man , much
bent and with a frightened manner , He
ia completely broken down and his nerves
are shattered. Ills experience in a mad
house wore drcadtul and totally wrecked
him Physically , although his mind N
sound. He refused to bulhivii that ho
was to bo heard by thu tribunal after so
many years of disappointment and neg-
luct until hu was autuully taken thuru ,
Then hu burst Into tears anil it was some
time before he was sutlleiuntly cgmpoaod
to talk ,
Thu president of the tribunal reassured
him anil then ho told his story lucidly ,
and in ti straightforward , logical way
unswcrud all tht > lusts of sanity and satis-
/uolorily demonstrated jlmt thuiu wtis no
legitimate ground for his incarceration.
He said ho had married when u young
man without the consent of hU piironts
an opera singer named Domhiowaka ,
Thu manlago took place in I'OMIII. Thu
lufiual of the patents to reeo'nii/o tlm
murriiigu was based on the absence of
dot , us the bride brought nothing will )
hur bit | vwn\ \ talent and tlio nuiuuy which
bhe had earned by it. Mistral's purcuis
declined to allow any Income , and ho
and his wife lived for some time on tlio
proceeds of her operatic oiiirngeincnls.
After a while Dombrowska's voice failed ,
nnd then they became Itinerant muslciani
and managed to eke out a sustenance.
The wife at last consented tea temporary
separation In the hope tlmt her husband
would bo reconciled with his parents ,
nnd bo relieved from the hardships which
ho was obliged to endure.
As . eon ns Mistral placed himself
within reach of his relatives they had him
arrested on a charge of lunacy. Ftom
that tiino to this he has not seen his wife
or heard anything about her. Now that
lu > has conn- into the family fortune ha
will probably spend the rest of his lifo In
trj ing to find her If she has not died in
the meantime.
The Paris newspaper Voltaire look up
cases of this sort three years ago and
began a vlgoious agitation in behalf of
sane persons conllnod as lunatics , This
instance excited wide interest and so
flagrant a case ofiong will probobly
lead to the repeal of the Itinaev law ns ft
now exists in France and renfedlal legis
lation on the subject.
