help this last feature. If he were not
egotistical be would not be Joaquin

whereas the United States con
sols are 2 per cent snd are now telling
at 107 before issued, and are now in
considerable demand at that price.
There can be no better barometer of

achievement for this country."

Keturns From the Primaries,
Pat Fagan returned yesterday from a
trip to his old home in the north of
Ireland which he had not visited for
thirty years. He is perfectly enthusiastic
over the condition in which he found
things in general in The Old Sod. He
has traveled extensively over the north
of Ireland and visited Glasgow, Scotland
and found everywhere abundant evi
dences of prosperity. But the condition
of the people of Ulster surprised him
most. Wages bad increase 1 wonderful

Belfast on one Sunday he watched a big
crowd of working people and their
families at they strolled through a
pleasure resort of the city, and he avers
be never saw a lot of better dressed or
more respectable looking people in his
life. Tbe landlords have nothing to say
to the farming population any more as
to their holding unless the rent is un
paid, and the government has fixed the
rent so low that Tat savs he gets more
rent for a little house he has up on the
bluff in this citv than he would have to
pay for a good sized farm in the old
conntrv.
Long as the time is since he left home
he met a large number of old acquaint
ances, who knew bim on sight, and in
one case when he visited an old friend
of 83. his aged, bed-ridden wife in an
adjoining room cried out, "Is that Pat
FaganT" She had recognized bis voice
after an interval of 30 vears. Pat's
brother Tom, who is well known over

prospects of its passage in the house are
altogether favorable. The most Im
portant feature of the bill is tbe follow
ing provision :
"In all cases where parties, aa p re
em ptors or homestead claimants, have
paid double minimum price for land
which afterwardj has been found not to
be within the limits of a railroad land
grant, or which is within the limits of
any portion of a grant which has been
heretofore, or which ehall hereafter be

portion of the road in aid of which inch
grant w as made, which is adjacent 0
and coterminous with sucb lands, the
