The Paris F'igaro is doing a signal service to the cause of the French re-public in revealing the contemptible plot with which the name of General Bonlanger Is ingloriously linked. The "man on horseback" cuts a sorry figure in the light of recent disclosures and his precipitate flight from Paris at the time of his indictment for treason is explain-ed by the overwhelming proof of his guilt in the possession of the govern-ment.

People well acquainted with Chicago declare the two sites chosen for the Columbian Fair to be a grave mistake. It is five miles from one of its two sites to the other, and the journey leads through crowded sections where loco-motion will be next to impossible when the crowds come. No World's Fair ever before started with such a prodi-gious handicap as this. The directors say that they were compelled to make this choico because Chicago could not make one for herself. At every turn appeared the amiable speculator with his littlo axe to grind. THE tTE8 WILL NOT II R REMOVED Hon. Adair Wllaon states that he has almost given np his Ute removal task. The govern-ment 1b tco slow in the matter. Although the Job might not be carried out with the tender-ness and Christian devotion in accord with eastern views. Jhe cowmen will perfoim the removal act If g vea permission. Rico (Col.) News. The Colorado cowmen do not fortu-nately run the United States govern-ment in this year of grace 1800. The Ute Indians will remain where they are and where they properly belong, on their reservation in Colorado. Com-missioner Morgan, while on a visit to Denver a few days, was interviewed on the subject and ho said: "Well. I am opposed to it, (the removal to Utah), because it is against tho settled policy of the government.which policy today Is 'o al-lot certain lands to certain Indians, generally, where it can he done, bestowing the land which they alieudy occupy. Where they feel at home U tlis proper place for them. For in-stance, we are alloting lands to other tribes than the Utes-- to the Oneldas. to tuo Devil's Lake Indians, have completed the work at Slsseton's, and to the Yanktons, while we have an, agent ntwork among the Crows, the citizen Pottawottamles and the absent Pawnecs.not forgetting the Jicarlllos. Arrangements are also being made to allot lands to the Sac and Foxes of Missouri, thn Kirki.pocs of Kansas and to a portion of the Cheyonnes in Okla-homa. "The same work will soon be accomplished among the Nra Perces. to the Hooper valley Indians in California and to the Blleta in Ore-gon, as well as scattered bands In Minnesota. Bo you boo we are doing considerable work." "Hut why Ik It ana'nit the policy of the gov-ernment to remove the Utes to Utah?" "Because H Is our dlcy to break up the tribal relations, and that can bo done by keep-ing them contented. ,Tjey were originally op-posed to being removed, but a pressura was brought to benr upon them which changed their aspect anil awakened t heir fears. If they are removed to Utah It will Introduce them to a mora wild and mount ilnous region, and re-tard tinlr civilization groatly, tending to koep up their tribal relations und prevent civiliza-tion getting a foothold among them. "The region thy are now occupying pos-sesses iw.iXjo aero i of tillable land with prop-er irrigation, which can bo accomplished, and they can be made goo 1 farmers and in time creditable citizens.

The fair Ethelinda is lonely As ho siti on the balcony rolled all In white; She has waited for Ludovlco all the long day, With his cuirass bo bright and his baldric so gay. But the sound of his slogan falls not on her ears. And no charger appears; "By'r Lady," she cries "if ho's slain by the foe, I shall die on the grave of my Ludovlco. Phe looks to the east and she looks to the west, But her Vigil Is vain for the Uulght she loves best; she Beans the horizon's black rims, For her cup of suspense is now tilled to the brims. ' Now woe spreads his wings o'er her fair, youthtul race. And the sighs for the bliss of her lover's em-brace, Then walls in ber anguish so piteous to see; "Come back, my Ludovlco, come back to me ' " But the trumpet's harsh peal rings aloud from afar. And the valleys resound to the fierce din of war; "Oh whore Is my true lovef " she cries in de-spair, And she fondles a lock of his silken, black hair; But a spirit voice answers, "Thou'it n'ersee him more For thy gallant Ludovico's battles are o'er; Far down in you glen where the green birdies wave. Thy knightly young love lies cold In tho grave ! " II. Zine pi e cut.

She watches the shadows that glide to and fro In their various ways on the sidewalk below. "Oh why does that chump keep me waiting" cried she: "If he don't hustlo quick I'll get squaro on him, gee " The evening wears slowly and everything's still Save the rush of the "growler," adown Cherry hill; The Junkman is taking a short blissful nap, And the ice man is feasting on luxury's lap. And the lights on the bridge shine out glori-ously bright, But the short-sto- p Is making a long stop to-night "His promise," she murmurel, "is only a fake, An' it's sorry I am for refusiu' Butch Jake." Now a dark massof clouds hldos the pale sum-mer moon, And they're singing "McOlnty" in Casey's sa-loon, Was that like his voice? If she knew he was there, How she'd tangla ber hand In a lock of his hair, "Oh, where is that lover " tho lonely one cried "Is It where la yer loiferf" her mother re-plied- 'He'll not be goln' wid ye I'll go bail Fur he's lyin' deadth dhruuk, full o' Casey's lnlxed ale!" a Three Noughts Omitted.

The Salt Lake Times, in trying to square itself with a correspondent as to the possibility of a famine devastating India, while the country, as stated by t'.ie Times, is able to supply the world with wheat, remarks that "India is an immense country, having an are of about HiOO square miles."

In an interview with The Times of that city, he re-marked, speaking pf polities in this state, that while ho was not admitted to the councils of the gang, 'Ureene will, of course, undertake to manipu-late the kite as usual, but I'm afraid it sours very high." He continued in the following language: "The republican party as a party want a new deal on a toeal platform, and if they don't get it well, there will be a Denuis in their name." Ho told the reporter that he had retired from politics and was at-tending to business. He spoke of tho mining industry as never healthh ; in its history. Wyoming, at any rate, is satisfied with her experience in woman siitfragc. Evidently, the Utah commission 're-ports simultaneously to tho interior de-partment and to tho Tribune ollico. A cask of Asiatic cholera is reported from Carrolton, Ohio, but it is more likfiiy to be imported from the water-melon patch than from Asia.

' Thhy are now wondering whero Clambetta's heart is. It matters little where it is. During his life Gambetta's heart was In the right place, and beat ever for his country. COLD WAVES. The first cold wave of the season was predicted by tho United State? weather, bureau for certain sections of the north-west on Saturday, and it arrived on schedule time, leaving in its track kill-ing frosts that (lid serious damage to lato crops. Thcso cold waves are a pn..lo to the meteorologist. When Dakota was still an unexplored country it was thought that they originated in that territory, and they were so desig-nated; later 011 the honor of originating the wintry blasts was accorded fo Man-itoba, for they ifo sweep from the region of the northwest down over Minnesota, and then follow either a southeasterly course toward tho Atlantic or else pass on" by way of the great lakes, In the d rection of the New England states. For this reason it is dillicult to predict with any-degre- of accuracy the coming of the cold wave in any part of the east until after it has reached Minnesota and delined its further path. The writer of this was for a number of years associated with General (then Lieutenant) Greeley, and with Profes-sor Abbe In the publication of the Me-teorological Bulletin, a daily issued by the government in Washington, and ho knows that one of the main objects of tho Greeley Arctic expedition was to determine the causes and the origin of the cold waves. That thoy start from the polar region that probably admits of no doubt, but the question still is why should they be so fitful in their travel? If it wore possiblo to establish a series of observation stations from the north pole to this country, we might be able perhaps to predict a week or more in advance the coming of a cold wave, just as we now can predict its arrival at a given time in St. Paul the moment It is signaled from Manitoba or Dakota, or in New York and Boston the moment it departs from St. Paul, but aside from its scientific value we do not see that it would bo of any practical utility. Come what may, a hot wave or a cold wave, the farmer cannot protect his grain or his orchards from either, for science may bo able to indicate, it cannot turn aside tho pro-gress of tho air once set in motion. The exodus from Salt Lake predicted by tho Herald is not materializing very fast. At any rate houses are scarcer than ever notwithstanding that build-- ing is general and rushing.

InsU'iul of being a faithful and verbatim transcript of tho proceedings of congress, as originally designed, it is nothing but a farce and a parody upon the truth. Few speeches appear ns they were delivered, most of them being revised or doctored by the speakers In proof, and a great many speeches ap-pear that were never delivered at all, the authors getting authority lo have them printed for effort on their rural constituents. Several days ago tho country was aroused to a high pitch of indignation at the rowdy conduct of several of its members, but it would be futllo to search the Record for an authentic ver-sion of these affairs. That perhaps is excusable on the ground of human charity toward human faults; but what shall be said of the post mortem publi-cation of Kennedy's speech, a speech uttered with deliberation and malice aforethought against the senate iu gen-eral and Senator Quay iu particular, but which now appears in the Record so mutilated that its own father would not recognize it as his own. Fortu-nately the press of the country is moro honest than the official Record, and the latter's prostitution to personal and po-litical ends, causes nothing but a con-temptible smile.

IMme. Nilfsan't Fondness for Poker. "Do you know what's the matter with Nilsson the famous concert singer?" remarked Captain A. II. Mattox, in the Chicago Tribune "Sho's a poor poker fiend and has injured her voice through her passion for the green cloth. I don't know whether she still stays up of nights playing poker, but she used to. I remember some years ago when I was writing musical criticisms for the En-quirer I sent roy card up to tho madam at her hotel and requested an interview. Sho sent word for me to come up. I found her playing poker with Marous Mayer and Henry Abbey. She was ex-pecting a visit from a clergyman-mad- am, you know, was religious. Well, the clergyman came, but before he was admitted the paper chips and card were covered up. Madam had just won a jack-po- t and was intensely interested iu the game, but when the 'clergyman en-tered he found her demure and appar-ently fully realizing that this is a very wicked world and that it was the duty of every true Christian to even up matters by being very, very good. I never saw such excellent acting. The clergyman remained but a few minutes. He had scarcely closed the door after him when out come the chips and plav was re-sumed. Madam laughed heartily at her little joke. We are pleased to note that Mr. George F. Warren has been solectod editor of the Grand Junction Star. Mr. Warren is a newspaper man by nature and training, and having had the valu-able experience offered him as a re-porter on The Timks he will doubtless make the Star rise in Grand Junction.
