THE OUTLOOK IN PENN>YLVANIA-
SECRETARY SCHCRZ AND THE CANE
PAIGNERS-BUTLER CHANCES IN
MASSACHUSETTS.
WAsInNGToN, Oct. Both parties
in Pennsylvania acknowledge the strength
of the greenhack movement in that state
and both seem equally doubtful of the re-
suit in the coming election. Representa-
tive Watson Of the Erie district, and Rep
resentative Stenger of the Chambersburg
district--the former a republican and the
latter a democrat-are both here, and
speak of the national movement with
apprehension. Mr.. Stenger has no doubt
of the defeat of Senator Don Cameron
and the election of democrat. He says
there are more greenbackers in the demo-
cratic party than in the republican, and
that the Legislature will prefer demo-
era to o republican for Senator, and that
the grccnbackers will hold The balance OF
power. He cannot see how Cameron
can be- reelected.
THE SPEECH OF SECRETARY sCIURZ.
The republican committee are bcsicgcd
for copies of the speech of Secretary
Schurz at Cincinnati last Saturday. The

day if he intended to print the speech OF
Nj. Schurz as a republican campaign
document. Mr.. Gorham answered
promptly that he did not intend to print
Nh. Schurz's speech, because there wa,
nothing said in favor of the republican
party and nothing against the democrats
He said that Mr., Schurz's speech wa
very able, like the letters of Junius, tn,
essays of Addison and the addresses o
Burke, but that he saw no reason VIII,
these should be printed by the republican
committee. For the same reasons h,
had refused to print the speech of Mr.
Hayes in Minnesota.
BUTLER's DEFEAT PREDICTED.
EX-Secretary Boutwell,, who arrived
here to-day from Massachusetts, think,
that General Buffers defeat is inevitable
He also says that the republicans ar,
wei! organized, are holding daily meet
Ing, and are confident of victory.

The Fsilare Of tho Bank OF
Glasgow.

tIABuIrIEs FIFTY MILLION DOLLARS.
LONDON, Oct. 2.-The liabilities Of the
City Of Glasgow Bank, which closed its
doors to-day, are stated at s5O,OOO,O0O
The liability OF shareholders is unlimited.
One hundred pou d shares of the bank
we're dealt in yesterday at over 200, and
within a week at 237. The bank was
established IN 1889, and had from fifty to
sixty branches. This is the heaviest
hank failure in Scotland since 1857, when
this concern also suspended. The other
Scotch banks were asked for assistance,
but, after examining the books at q
meeting yesterday, refused to do more
than redeem the note circulation of the
City of Glasgow Bank, which is stated at
rhre, aud a quarter million dollars. The
failure has caused great excitement
throughout Scotland and in the London
Stock Exchange, where there was
heavy fall in Scotch railroad securities
in consequence of pressure of Scotch
holiers to sell. The failure of the bank
is generally attributed to its resources
being locked up in bill, shares and de-
heutures of various kinds that were not
realty convertibl+, large advances on
American securities, on grain and on
real estate.
The Echo says: "The failure is very
important, and is not less than natl
disaster, but, as usual i'll such cases, it
has been foreshadowed by innumerable
occurrences, and it Is hardly likely that it
will do more than bring down the COM
merc'al firms which are involved in the
bill transactions which have overwhclm-
ed the bank"

further point was presented in the reso'

ton, said that IL was about time that the
lot owners knew what was done with the
money that was annually paid in for i'm
provements. He did not wish 10 charge
the officers Of the association with doing
wrong but, az they could get no satisfac-
ton fIom those gentlemen, 1t was about
time that the people took the matter In

Mr.. j. II. Raymond, one OF the oldes,
lot owners in the Grove, asserted that nc

association as to the disbursement Of the
moneys for improving the street.. He
aimed that they were living under

Theory of Land Drainage.

1t appears somewhat parodoxical
that drainage should be beneficial to
vegetation, since water is so ossent.
ial to the well-being of plants, But
really more water passes through a
drained than an undrained soil. A
party Of gentlemen were throwing
doubts upon the advantage of drain
ing particular clay field. "What
is the uso," they said, "of draining
such land as this? Not a drop of
water is running from tho pipcs."-
The reply was sagacious: II don't
drain SO much to get water out Of
the land MS to get it into tho land"
The work of the drainor consists in
giving free passage to the water,
thereby securing the passage of the
entire rainfall through tho body OF
the soil.
1t must be evident that of yearly
rainfall, say of twonty.eight inches,
upon u tenacious and wet (undrain-
ed piece of lard, part soaks into and
through the soil, parts find its way
as best it caninto bitches, and part
starveS the soil by evaporation once
more into the air But on a drained
field, which is never surcharged at
the surface, the whole of the rainfall
passes into the land, thus proving
the truth of the remark just quoted
BY tho above idea u flood of light is
thrown upon the subject of drainage
Undraincd land Is surchargod with
water for great part of the year
by this is meant that tho pores, or
intcrsticos, of the soil are compile tcly
full of water and since two substances

this state Of things exists, neither
