SPEAKING Our TO THE PoINT.--It is pleas
ant to see that there are some Democratic papers
which do not preserve meek silence under the
lash Of the Washington Union or, like the Bos-
ton Post and Worcester Bay State, seek to keep
peace with the administration by copying extracts
from papers which endorse the new fraud upon
the people Of Kanzas. The Press (FOrney's,l Of
Philadelphia says

ARREST OF SUPPOSED BURGLARS IN CLINTON
On Saturday night last, the selectmen of Clin-
ton made descent upon a notorious drinking
and gambling saloon, and in their search for Ii.
quors they found in the cellar some fifty or sixty
keys, of various sizes and patterns, billy, dark
lantern, and some other implements such as are
used by burglars. They took these implements
into their possession, and it was found upon exam
nation that many of the keys would fit the store
doors and safes of many of the prominent places
in Clinton. Some three days ago,an attempt was
made to enter the store of Mr.. O. A. Smith, but
the burglars broke the key they we're using in
the lock, and retired without accomplishing their
object. On taking the lock off, the piece which
was broken from the key was preserved the 9th.
er part of it was found among those seized by the
selectmen on Saturday night, The place where
the keys were found was kept by two fellows
named VIM. Mclaughlin, alias "Big BILL and
- Bein. They have been in Clinton some
time, and have kept a notorious drinking house.
So says the Boston Journal.

the Atlantic Ocean is long trough, separat.

ing, probably, from pole to pole. From the
top of Chinlborazo to the bottom of the AT.
lantic, at tho deepest plane yet reached by the
plummet in the Northern Atlantic, the dis
lance in a vertical line is nine miles. The
deepest part OF the North Atlantic is believed
by Lieut.. M to be, probably, somewhere be.
tween the Bermudas and the Grand Banks.
The waters of the Gulf Of Mexico are held
as basin about mile deep in the deepest

The VINEYARDS OF THE RHINR.-The wine
harvest of Germany, and particularly of the
valley of the Rhine, the most renowned grape
country in the world, is finished this year,
and is stated to be the best since the reno wn-
ed year of 1911, as well in quantity as in
quality: 1t is even spoken Of as exceeding
1911, and as being the most abundant and
best Of the present century. Still, the poor
wine growers are not likely to be much bet
ter remunerated for their labor than in preyi-
GUS years, IS in consequence Of the universal
financial distress, money is scarce, the dspo.
sition to speculate has disappeared, and they

free States, and Of holding it there in defiance of
State laws" Forney pronouaees the Union's ar
gument in support of the Kanzas Constitutional
Convention "a miserable apology for great mo-
raj fraud
The Chicago Times is equally manly and free
spoken. In an article under the heading of
''Ffe Soil Associations it says;
1.-THE Washington Union attempts to rebuke
some dozen al the ablest Democratic papers of
the country for what it styles their free soil
soeations.' The Chicago Times agrees fully and
cordially with all these papers; every Democratic
paper in Illinois agrees with the Times the
Kanzas issue. Every Democrat in Congress from
Illinois agrees with the course of the Times, and
when the vote for printer comes up, We hope
Messrs. Douglas, Harris, Morris, Marshall,
Shaw and Smith, will remember that the Union
rebukes thsm for their free soil proelivities and
therefore does not want their votes +"
In the Press of December l, Col. Fofney has
the following emphatic and conclusive argument
in its showing up of the folly of the course of Mr..
Buchanan, in backing up the attempt to force the
bogus Leeompton constitution upon the people
of Kanzas, without reference to the people:
at is alleged that if the constitution, as
whole, had been submitted to the people of Kan
zas, they would have voted it down, without
to the convention, and that, therefore, the con,
vention was justified in not submitting it. If
the opposite state of feeling had paeyailed-if no
doubt had existed of the endorsement of the con-
stitution by the people--Saeh condition of pub
lie sentiment might, in some degree, have JUST
fed Neglect refusal to submit it But the very
existence of doubt of popular approval, or still
more, the settled belief that majority of the
people dS0pproUed Of the constitution is the very
strongest of reasons why 1t should have been
submitted. The deaa that constitution must
be made binding upon the people of Kanzas, with
out being submitted to them, because they do not
approve of it, is of the most startling propo.
sitous that was ever advanced in free country.
Thare is not State in the Union whose people
would not rise up en- aaaSSo in indignant protest
against any attempt to impose upon them a con-
stitution against their views and wishes, because
they were opposed to it, When constitutional
conventions assume such power this, and not
only defy public sentiment but make the exist
ence of feeling Of hostility to particular meas
ures the very reason why those measures are to
be fastened upon them, they act like monarehial
or despotic-not like republican-hodies."

deemed $3,7ll,000. Since that time she has
