JOHN DILLON A London weekly illustrated mag- azine which holds high rank for lit- erary excellence and wields no little influence, pays this tribute to John Dillon, who was suspended from the house of commons a few days ago for having called Colonial Secretary Chamberlain.“‘a d—d liar” and refus- ing to withdraw the offensive designa- tion: 3 “You can read the history of Irland in Mr. Dillon’s face. he pathos and struggle of a lifeime have left their mark on hime and you think, as you see him walking through the lobby, rin his elub, of the bitterness and hopelessness of all the agitation and strife of twenty years and more. He is thé ost lovely man in Ireland. As honest as theday, heis exactly the man he looks, a taan with a big heart and a wise head, a man of cui- sure and deep religious faith, a man who is ready to go through fire, if need be, for the cause he has made liisown.. Has be not been through fire? He was thrown into jail with Mr Parnell, and the compaionship in suffering made them one as they had never been before. But he snapped the tie which linked them when Par- nell fell; he was not prepared to sac- rifice Irland for his own affection’s. sake. Somehow,.we alllike him. He is not the rude, unlettered apostle of revolution. He belongs, indeed, to eminently fashionable society. He married the daughter of a judge though he himself has slept in a prison cell; he was educated at a iversity; aud he is a member of the rish Royal college of surgeons.

Affect- ing the simplicity of the cowboy, he conceals beneath the self-contidence and queer manners uf the broncho- buster the sentimentsand ambitions, if not the talents, of a Diaz. ‘To him the reprimanding of the lieutenant geueral of the army, grown gray in lighting of the battles of his country, becomes an amusing horse- play meant to relex his muscles and illustrate his high-mightiness whilst warning lesser officers of the army to obey orders and say nothing. As Yhese go forward, partaking some- what of the charactor of feats to divert and blinds to hoodwink public opinion, the bill of army reorganiza- tion prepared and urged upon cun- gress which, if it becomes a law, will make the power of the president ab- sulute and which it is not too much to » say ought to be entitled an act to make * the president of the United States a military dictatior. But turn from the White House to the capitol and look at the republicans in congress. ‘The trail of the trade-mark is over them all.

Nothing for the peuple.” Minnesota’s Remaining Pine Timber, An article in the Mississippi Val- Jey Lumberman commenting upon the various estimate the amounts of of standing pine remaining in Min- hesota at the present date, serves to show how unsatisfactory all such es- timates dre. It appears that H. B. Ayres, of the United States Geologic- al Survey, division of geography and forestry, place the amount of white pine in 1899 at 11,190,000,000 feet, and ot Norway pine at 4,819,000,u00 feet. A bulleten issued by the division of forestry, department of agricultural, in 1899, states that the total-amount ‘of pine in Minnesota in 1897 was 36, 000,00000 feet. There is a difference of 20,00:',000,000 feet in these two estim- utes, both by government experts, ‘with only two years of time interven— ng between them. In that two years, the Lumberman estimates, less than 3,000,000,000 feet were cut in the state. The amount destroyed by fire ‘js not guessed at, but it was not par- jcularly large. The guess of pract- cal Jumbermen as to the remaining ine supply range all the way from 5,000,0.0,000 to 40,000,000,000 feet, and one extensive pine land owners quot- ‘ed as saying that he would be willing ‘so pay the market price for the pine deaths. from smallpox have yet occur-| most farmers. are not aware that’ red in the county, and the number | this plant disease is so seriously in-) of cases were less this year than last. | juring their crops.

Additional Local That turkey deal in which Hon. D. M.
