The Knights of Labor have proposed some fantastic and impracticable legis- Iation at their Cleveland convention, but they constructed a substantial piece of workmanship when they adopted the following platform of principles to which we again giye place in our col- umes: 1. We demand that the public lands be re- served for actual settlers only. We demand that all Iands owned by in- duals or_corporations in excess of 100 acres not under cuitivation shall be taxed to their full value, the same as cultivated lands, 3. We demand the immediate forfeiture of all lands where the conditions of the grant have not been complied with, 4. We demand that patents beat once is- sued for all lands where the conditions have been complied with, and that taxesbe as- sessed on those lands as if under cultivation, . We demand the immediate removal of all fences from the public lands. 6. We demand thatafter 1500 the govern- ment obtain possession by purchase of all hlluln now held by aliens at appraised valua- ons. 7. We demand that after 188 aliens be pro- hibited from obtaining land titles, 8. Wedemand the abolition of all laws re- quiring a property qualification to enable a citizen 1o vote. u] We demand that a graduated income tax e lovied. 10. We protest against the small appropria- tions for the national bureau of labor statistics, 11 We demand the |mn-‘fl|( e of the bills ap- proved by the congressional labor committee, 12. We demand enactient of a law Frmflhlllnx the employment of minors in actories, mines, shops, ete., for more than eight hours per day. With the mass of the recommendations all honest and thinking men will agree. The demands for reform of the land laws, the taxation of untaxed lands, the repeal of unearned land grants and the prohib tion of alien landlordism are in a line with the bestand most enlightened public sentiment. Congress recognizes this in making these questions, which the Cleve- lan¢ conterence urges upon its atten- tion, matters reserved for immediate con- sideration and to which all minor subjoects must give precedence. Thrift and Saving. Thrift and saving go hand in hand. The workingman, or clerk, or small eapi- talist, who consistently lays aside a part of Ifs earnings, however small, for a rainy day, is certain to succeed in the race for a comfortable competency. The man who made the largest fortunc 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 fitty 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, kew people realize how much the advancement of American laborers is due to the extent to which they patronize the savings institutions. Their reports are a standing evidence of the thrift of the poorer cluasses. In 1835 the little state of Rhode Island, with a population not exceeding 325,000 and not more than 180,000 persons engaged in any kind of ‘“‘gainful occupation,” had savings bank deposits of no less than $51,816,300, or about $160 for every man, woman and child in the state. Massachu- setts, in the same year, had deposits of $274,908,812, an ayerage of $141.64 for each person in the state that y The most astonishing thing, however, is the fact that there were 848,787 acposit ac- counts, or nearly half as many as the en- tire population of the state, and more than its workers. Of course, this shows that many individuals had more than one account, but it leaves no room for douabt 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 Laws. The action of the senate caucus in mak- ing the bills for the repeal of the pre-emption, timber culture and desert lands acts preferred subjects for legislation,and the advanced condition of these bills upon the house calandar, are probably responsible for the -circular 1ssued by Commissioner Sparks, suspend- ing the operation of the above named laws until August 1. Registers of land offices have been notified to receive no more filings and land hunters will now bo compelled to restrict themselves to home- steading, instead of the varlous entries heretofore permitted under our loose sys- tem of land office privileges. The usual howl may be expected from the cattle barons and land syndicates, to whose abuse of the land laws is chiefly due the general movement for their re- peal. Land grabbers, masquerading as *‘honest settlers,”’ will fill the territorial papers with their squeals,and Mr, Sparks will be once more spitted on the lance of a *‘public opinion” which has no exist- ence except in the imagination of the dishonest tricksters whom he has check- mated, There is no danger that the homestead law will not be amply sufficient for the needs of actual settlors. Under its pro- visions the government will still gontinue to donate 160 acres to every applicant who will live five years on his farm and improve it sufliciently to show his good faith as a settier. The homestead law has buiit up communities by bringing into the new counties permancnt residents. The pre-emption law of late years has largely operated to build up the fortunes of non-resident speculators. There will be little sorrow over the repeal of the timber culture, pre-emption and desert lands acts. The first twojhave had their day. The last has been a harbor of vef- uge for fraud and jobbery ever since its enactment. E— A Viotory for Van Wyck. The senator from Nebraska scored a remarkable victory in the senate on Thursday by securing the passage ot his bill taxing the railroad land grants and compelling the companies te pay to the government the cost of surveying, seleet- ing and conveying the land. By a bril- liant stroke Senator Van Wyck succeeded in substituting the subject matter of his own bill for thatof the house bill, leaving only the enacting elause of the latter and striking out the title of the house bill, thus making the measure as passed an amended bill already passed by the lower house. Before the railroad lobby had recovered from their surprise, the bill was referred to a conference committee of the two houses and Senator Van Wyek had made his point. This action of the senate probably. de- termines the success of the weasure. All that is needed now is the adoption of the report of the conference committee in the two houses. The simple passage of the senate bill would have sent that measure to the bottom of the house calendar of bills passed by the senate, where it would have been subject (o the usual intermina- ble delays in awaiting consideration, Senator Van Wyck's shrewd tactics changed the status at once. It secured the passage of his own bill and gave it precedence over other legislation by mak- ing it amendatory of the measure passed by the house. The senator from Ne- braska knew the field in which he was fighting his battle against the monopoly lobby and he took every advantage of ation. The result was the rout of his encmies ands Than Ours, Other The Irish debate has been enlivened during the week by speeches from Cham- berlain and Scxton, rumors of approach- ing ministerial resignations, and expec- tancy of a dissolution of parliament as soon as a division was reached on the second reading of the home rule bill. Radical opposition to the measure made the defeat of the second r scarcely doubtful, and the cabi ) fighting for delay. Mr. Gladstone feels sure that the ministry must fall, but he is anxious if possibl to postpone a general election until next fall in - order that his party may sccure the benefits of the new registration act. It is reported that if all other plans fail, the premicr will even resign and permit Hartington to form a ministry which will be retained in oflice until the Iiberals find it convenient to overthrow itin the autumn and percipitate an elec- tion under more fayorable auspices. But both s roan immedi- al tion. Forty-s ing Chamberlain’s lead have pledged themselves to vote against the measure, and the opposition vote 18 estimated as more than suflicient to secure its defoat when it comes up on Monday. But the Irish people are not not discouraged at the threats of defeat- ing the Gladstone bill that come from the consorvat Even if it were defeated to-morrow, it would not dismay them. Their cause has been fought for and won. As Justin McCarthy says: “‘Happen what 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 1all, brings up discussion as to Lord Hartington's probable course in case he is designated as Mr. Gladstone's succes- sor. The new ministry will be a coalition one, without doubt, in which all shades of political opinion opposed to home rule will be represented. Coalition ministries m England are proverbially short-lived, and this is quite certain to prove no ex- ception to the rule. Nobody expeets it to last longer than until autumn, and its collapse will be 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 emnpire. A terrific battle will be fought at the polls i the autumn. Michael Davett cables from London that “Mr. Parnell is also conlident that he come back to West- minster with a party in no wise dimin- ished. The Irish voters in Great Britain will this time be asked to poll in favor of Gladstone to a man. This they will do with graceful r membrance of the only English stutesman in history who has braved imperial power in behalf of Ireland. This they will do with enthusiasm in the carrying out of a policy which has at length begun to be noble and patriotic to their eyes. Mr. Parnell is sure of the royal and hearty co-operation of every nationalist having influence with the peo- ple. Should Gladstone, however, be de- feated at the general elections; should the unholy combination as among Salis- bury, Hartington and Chamberlain suc- ceed in persuading the election to return a majority against home rule, then one of the most vital crises in the modern history of Ireland—and of England per- —will have to be fought between the Irish national strength and coercion,’” *"% The Tmperiulist congress which has just assembled in Paris indicates that the re- public, if it remaiuos true to the spirit on which it was founded, has even less to fear from the Bonapartists than it has from the various branches of the Bourbon family, at wnose head now stand the Or- leans princes. The rivalry between Vie- tor and Jerome can be depended on, until one or the other dies, to render dis- cordant and powerless for harm the heirs to the dynasty founded by the great Cor- sican, * e English and French engineers have re- vived the discussion of the Indo-Euro- pean route contemplated before the com- pletion of the Suez canal. The Enghsh government has already surveyed the line of a railroad from the Mediterranean noross Turkey, connecting with the Eu- vhrates, but the project now under dis- cussion is to connoct the river with the Mediterranean by a canal cut south of Aleppo. This would give a navigablo route from the Mediterranean through Syria and the once fortile Mesopotamian valley, along the Persian coast, through the Persian gulf, to India, Emil Eude who writes of the plan in the British view, thin 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 desolute condition, and restore to 1t somothing of the prosperity it enjoyed when it was the pathway of trade hetween Europe and Asia before the Christian era. * e Colonel Pereira, of Peru, hus suggested a project for the organization of colonies in that country which is said to have mot the warmest approval of President Caceres and is promised support by pub- lic men of all parties, The project pro- nies in the vast prairies of the heart of the South Awmorican continght which the ) are known as “pampas’ or “plains” of ‘£l Sacramento,’’ They are extremely fertile, Hum boldt having sounded and found alluvial mould thirty feet in thickness on some of them-—whilst cattle and game abound, s0 that from alwoest the first moment the ecolonists would become If-supporting.

JOHY HABBERTON'S LETTER. President Oloveland's Ante-Nuptial Visit to the Metropolis. THAT TOAST TO JEFF DAVIS. It Was Done Strictly for Business by & Wine Morchant—Some Fish Talk—American Opora. New York, June 1.—|Correspondence of the Ber. ]+ Perhaps you have heard that “all the world loves a lover.” I quote the tired out sentiment again only to ex- plain why more curiosity to see President Clevelundis manifested in New York this week than ever before. His excellency ran up from Washington Sunday night, having promised to review the Decora- tion day parade 1 New York and Brooklyn. As these ceremonies were sare to bring him twice before the full gaze of the publie, you would suppose the public conld afford to possessits soul in patience and cither buy a ticket to one of the stands erected opvosite the reviewing stand in each eity, or join the proce: But the publie didn’t do anything of the sort; men hung about the Gilsey house all morning in hope of seeing the president go to the breakfast room, the barber shop or the newspaper stand, or perhaps the cigar counter, or the bar; others haunted the doorway through wlich the guests usually leave; they weren't dudes cither, nor very young men, but solid, level-headed business men, most of them as old as the president himself. Nor were they office-scekers; they looked too well-to-do and self-contained to be abroad on any such business, and on a holiday, too. No, they simply wanted to look at a bachelor who was going to be married— a man who, though he had a larger in- come than any bachelor can spend to good advantage, and a higher public po- sition than any other eitizen of the United ned that hfe isn't worth living unlessone has & wife to help him do it. His is the first case on record of a president of the United States doing any- thing in which he had the unanimous ap- proval of everybody in both political parties. THE G. A. The rize and culnnmnation of the annual Decoration day sentiment has kept old soldiers talking about the (onsting‘bof Jeff Davis by Captain Saunders, member of the Grand Army post of Mt. Verno N.Y. I passed tnrough Mt. 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 train _and took seats near me. 1t was quickly manitested that it was the “lead ing topic” of town talk, aud that public opinfon was not oniy divided but sub-di- vided, and that although there were some Mt. non patriots who helped conquer the confederate armies who would have cheerfully done as Mr. Saunders did if they had been lucky enough 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, where his character- istic tonst was given, strictly for business purposcs, which _were accomplished greatly to his satisfaction. During the hubbub Saunders has maintained a calm, none-of-your-blank-business air that has done more than the Dayis toast to enrag his heiglibors, for Mt. V s ronclrod the exact si about five thousand 1n- habitants—which makes a community think itsolf the heaven-constituted man- ager of the affairs of cach of its citizen and it does not like Saunders’ implica- tion that he is responsible to nothing but lhis own sense of propriety.

Perhaps some of vour readers think there is no longer any scctional feeling in the United States excent in some be- nighted, unrailronded varts of the south. If such_ there be, they would be speedily undeceived could they visit our two great fish markets—one on each side of the city--and hear what fish dealers and fishermen who fish for a 1i “F about the proposed bill to prevent the shing of mackerel off our coust during the spring months. The New York markots sell about one quarter of all the fish 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, durinfz which about one-half of the local population is by church rule for- bidden to eat ment cxcept on specified days. The great majority of this half consists of people who "ure poor enough to count every penay, and to them the mackerel is a sunny-faced blessing, for it is always the cheapest fish in the market during the spring,” Since it was learned that the mackerel could be faster saught by seines and purse-nets than by the hook, and since the watery course of the said mackerel's spring tour bas been known, the season begins earl far south as the Carolina cupes; so New York fishermen have kept the market well supplied. The fish do not get as far north a5 the New England coast until June, so a fisherman stated the case to me a day or twd ago, as follows: “Them Maine an’ Massachusetts suck- ers jist want to tu the bread out of the mouths of us New Yorkers in the same line of biz. While we can ketch mackril anywhere south of New York an’ hrmg ‘em to market they can't send cod an halibut here at livin’ tiggers, so they want 8 to_make us starve. Ef New 's poor folks want cheap fishin Lent they must buy salt mackril or cod thet the Yankees ketched last year. Ef the Bunker Hillers is satistied to eat codfish- balls all through the spring, let 'em do it, but when they come to bossin’ New York's breakfasts an' dinners, they're wuss than the Britishers that got us into a national tempest over family teapots, Ef Now Ei id’s got so big that no- body cun muke his livin’ an’ eat what he wants without axin' permission of Boston fish dealers, lot Now England secede an’ jine Canady. Thisis a hation of men, not hogs, an' the quicker New England is made to know it, the quicker she'il stand a ohance of gittin' decent,” And some universally accepted author- itios on the fish trade, who stood by, said the old fisherman had put the watter in its right light. UAMERICAN OPERA, I hear from Chicago that when the an opers opened in that eity last an attomipt made by the hionable eloment to ‘muke the audi sxclusive, and thift there wus some Ju. dress eoat would dominate the ation and kill the American ente a8 it had done the week betore I can say from persanal ob. servation that there “wus no such non sense in New York during the American company's season. In our Academy of Music there about a hundred boxes, und the male occupants of these were gener ally aitired in steel pen coats and white tios, such as all of Delmonico’s waiters wear, but gontlemen in the thousand or more remaining seats considered it suf- ficient to wear olothing such as was ap- propriate to any other first-olass place of amusement. Opera depends entirely on what you go for. If you merely make it an o) \lpnnnnlt(v to call'on ladies whom you wnu?- otherwise visit at their homeos, or if you merely wanted to stand around in lobbies to be looked at, you wear a_dress suit, but if you go to hear the music yon do not_take the trouble to change cloth- ing, which was good enough to be seen in business circles all day or to make an afternoon eall in. A dress coat opera season has always meant that hundreds of scats had to bo filled by goingout. to hboring club rooms and bar rooms, mlrrzh‘iluz away hundreds of tickets to tho best dressed en who can be found; it also meant that the stockholders of the academy had to assess themselves at the end of the season—or before—to help the manager out of the difficulties. There were nosuch trouble during the American opera's New York season, for the name of ‘Theodore Thomas was of itseif enough to draw all the people who have been crowding his Philharmonic concerts during the past ten years. They had more brains, and certainly more money, than the customary dress coat lonfer; they went to hear the music instead of to stare and be stared at, and the th of some single member of a certain social set was not enough to compel the stage to play and sing to empty seats.

A Few Facts Kegarding the Action of Fruit Acids on the Stomach and Teeth. The luscious strawberry is the first fruit of the season that is «ni'uyud m this latitude, although closely followed by th cherry, the very green apple and varion berries in their order. Much fruit is eaten, and it is well that all should know the relations of this food to health. The acids in fruit act also on the teeth, and the following extract from ‘‘ltems of Interest,” a dental journal, will not be devoid of interest: Every agreeable fruit contains three principal oloments on which its attract: acid, ess depends. Those are sugar and flavoring materi are citric, malic and tarts The citric acid exists in the orange, lemon, cran- herry, raspberry, strawberry and red currant. The malic acid is contained in the apple and pear, tartaric aci the sour pringiple of graps. The are capable, by long-continued anplica- tion, of dissolving the solid sub the teeth, and were they no provisions of nature against it we should pay for our enjoyment of the fruit by the inevit- iven ableloss of these organs. It is the faint traces of this corroding o which causes the tecth to feel rough and *‘set on edge" when eating. Rive fruits contain not only acids, but also'n small portion of potash. When taken into the stomach the acid, being a 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 be thus destroyed, but is absorbed into the blood and circulates to every part of the system, rondering the blood alkaline. The. aikulics of tho blood being. thus abundantly furnished to the s glands, insure a constant alkaline ter to the saliva, which flowsinto the mouth and instantly neutralizes any : which the fruit may have left on the toeth. This singular provision of nature, however, is perfect only in persons of good digestion. If the stomach is feebte, or the indul- once in fruit excessive, the acids of the tuit are not destroyed. They pass into the intest nd are absorbed into the blood, diminishing its alkaline character and depriving the saliva of 1ts neutraliz- ing elements. In such cases the fruits exert a_directly injurious effect on the teeth, nce, one reason why a disor- dered stomnch is apt to be accompanied by decay of the tecth. After referring to the ethers thut are contained in tho sugars, and which serve to_gently excite the digestive nerves, the writer concludes: 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 tecth from the action of the acids, These alkalies, also, nre natural stimulants to the liver, so that steady use of fruits tend powerfully to prevent summer Dbillious attacks. The summer fruits, therefore, are, to a certain_extent, the natural antidotes to summer diseases Fragments of fruit sking and pulp some- times lodge between tho teeth and, act- mg as & sponge to absorb and retain .acids, keeps these corroding juices in contact a long tune with the enamel, ultimately penetrating it and causing it to decay. This should be remoyed. "Let all eat with reasonakle freedom the ripe fruits and enjoy the delicious flavors which the ker of ali things has pre- pared for the promotion of health and enjoyment. A sound instinet points out this “course to us, and the teachings of science confirm its mandates, —— Many Years in a Mad House. Jean Mistral,the supposed lunatic, who has been confined for years in the Mont pelier asylum for the nsane, has finally heen liberated after a hearing in his case by the Tarascou tribunal, writes a Lon- don correspondent under the date of May His fortune, with the accumu- latéd interest, now amounts to 65,000,000 franes. ad one, His story is a peculiarly Ho 1o now searching. for his wite, whom his relatives uMlultul from France in 1837 becnuse she refused in return for an annuity of 500 frances to acknowledge herself a woman of bad ch Mistral is a cousin of kreder the poet, and is now an old bent and with a frightened mani ia completely broken downand his nerves are shattered.

The 1 of ‘the parents to recognize the murriange was based ou the ubsence of dot, as the bride brought nothing with her but voeal talent and the mouey which she bad earned by it. Mistral's parents dechined to allow any income, and he and his wife lived for some time on the proceeds of her operatic engagements. After a while Dombrowska's voice failed, and thon they beeame itinorant musicians and managed to eke out a sustenance The wifc at last consented toa temporary separation in the hope that hor husband would be reconciled with his parents, and be relieved from the hardships which he was obliged to endure. As =oon as Mistral placed himself within reach of his relatives they had him arrested on a Nmrr' of lunacy. From that time to this he has not seen his wife or heard anything about hor. Now that he has come into the family fortune he will probably spend the rest of his lifo in trying to find her if she has not died in the meantime.
