NEW York CITY Is gong through one
OF the periodical ScareS about cutting
oil OF the water supply. There Is no
doubt that vast amount OF the water
is wasted, and the only check upon 1t
appears to be the general use OF water
meter. Consumers will be more care

they waste.
ACCORDING to the Agricultural Bureau

buckwheat Is somewhat better than last
year. The average is IS per cent for

THE OCTOBER ELECTIONS.

On Yesterday an election was held in
Connecticut, and one will be held in
Colorado to-day.
one week from to-day the great strug-
gle in Ohio will close, and on that day,
also, Iowa will vote.
The Connecticut election was for town
officers, and upon the acceptance OF
constitutional amendments providin.
for biennial sessions OF the Legislature,
and extending the time for Judges for
the Superior and Supreme Courts to
hold office from 20 to 20 years. The
election i'm this State will, therefore, be
OF no significance outside OF the State.
The Colorado election today will be
for an associate judge Of the Supreme
Court and for district attorneys.
In both Ohio and Iowa State ticket,
including members OF the Legislature,
will be voted for, and in each State there
are Democratic, Republican and Green
back tickets i'm the field.
Iowa is a thoroughly Republican
State, and it will be a surprise il it does
not continue to be.
Ohio is the battle ground toward
which the whole country IS lookin. with
some show OF inter st. We believe
there is a good degree OF confidence
honestly felt by both the DemOcratsand
Republicans OF the State in a victory
for their respective tickets. The
Republican campaign opened with
greater gustO than that OF the Demo-
cratic, but OF late, and as the day OF
election approaches, the Democrats are
warming up to the work, while the Re
publicans show signs OF weakening. The
campaign is being vigorously and bril-
liantly conducted on both sides, and the
whole State will be fairly ablaze with
enthusiastic demonstrations at all the
prominent centers OF population from
this on to the time OF taking the vote.

The New York World makes a lengthy
review of the political prospects in that
state, and comments upon the status OF
tine Greenback strength as follows:
Coming down to figures, Oneida coun-
tv may be taken as fair specimen OF the
present status of the Greenback Labor
party. Last November nearly 1000
votes were given in the county for the
Grcenback nominee for Congress, an eX-
Republican. This year he runs for the
State Senate. and if he receives 1000
votes he will do well. Last fall the
county committee were literally sup
piled with funds. This year it has al
most literally none. Last fall the Green
hackers had lively bi-weekly or
can with 5000 subscribers; this year
they have dull weekly organ
which is on its last legs, and Is not
likely 10 last a lOrtnight-ln fact IL be-
lievrd that it has seen It's last issue.
Last fall the Greenhack county con-
ventiun consisted of 20 members and
the contest over offices was lively.
This wear the convention consisted oi
less than 80 members, substitutes and
all, and offices went begging. What
was true of this convention has been
true OF district and ward gatherings.
There is no backbone, enthusiasm or
money in the whole concern, and long
before election its votes will return To
the parties from which they were taken,
and the Democracy OF Oneida county
will gain $500 by the breaking down
OF the Greenback-LabOr campaign.

Parker, Not Lincoln.

Mr.. Lincoln has often been credited
with the expressive phrase, "Of the
people, by the people, for the people"
It was not original with him, however,
Theodore Parker first used it, and often
used it during the last decade of his
life. A, lady who was long member of
Mr.. Parker's household, and who assist,
ed him in his intellectual work, says
that the idea did not spring at once to
his mind in its perfect conciseness; he
had expressed it again and again with
gradually y 1essening diHusiveness before
he gave the address to the Anti Slavery
Society, May 13, 1854, where it appears
thus: "Of all the people, by all the
people, and for all the people" as pub
ished in Additional Speeches, vol. 2, p.
25. But that" she adds, "was not
quite pointed enough for the weapon he
needed to use so often in criticising the
national action, to pierce and penetrate
the mind of hearer and reader with that
Just idea Of democracy, securing it tl4ere
by much iteration; and can distinctly
recall his joyful look when he afterward
read it to me in his lib, ary, condensed
into this gem: "Of the people, by the
people, for the people"

PardOned.

DR.. Kerwin, the famous Heland's Eye
murderer, has just been released from
Spikes Island prison, in Queenstown
harbor, after twenty-seveu years of in
generation. The murder for which this
man was convicted, in 1851, was one of
the most celebrated criminal cases Ire
land has ever known. DIR. Kerwin was
q wealthy and very distinguished physi-
clan in Dublin. During the early sum-
mer of 1861 he visited the island in the
harbor of Dublin known as heland's
Eye. Soon after, the body of his wife
was found on the beach of this island.
The woman had been stabbed to death
with the blade of sword-cane. The
visit of the doctor to the island was
readily established, but there was little
or no evidence going to show that his
wife had accompanied him. Indeed,
the evidence throughout was of cir
cumstantia1 nature, and the efforts put
forth by the doctors many wealthy
friends to save his life we're unceasing
and multlform. The ablest legal talent
in Great Britain defended him. The
jury, after a protraeted trial, con victed
DR.. Kerwin of murder in the first de-
gree, and he was sentenced to death.
The Queen, taking into consideration
the fact that the evidence upon which
the prisoner was convicted was wholly
circumstantial, commuted the sentence
to penal servitude for life. From this
sentence he is now released.

The Terrible Garrote.

An execution by the garrote, al
though accredited with being mercifully
painless, is certainly awful to behold.
The place of execution in Madrid is ac-
cessible to the public, and the occasion
is of equal interest with day at the
bull-ring Everything connected with
this ceremony of death is viewed with
morbid horror by the Spaniards because
of ancient Oriental preiudices of pollu-
tion. All actually empfoyedfn the op-
Grafton are accounted infamous, and
lose their caste and purity of blood.
Even the gloomy scaffold on which the
culprit is strangled is usually erected in
the night, and by unseen hands. It
rises from the earth like fungus work
of darkness. Execution by hanging
was graciously abolished by Ferdinand
VII. It is certainly more in accord
ance with the semi Oriental natures of
the Spanish people, which leads them to
tenderly respect the bowstring. All
that Cervantes, from his sad experience,
pictured prison to be, it is to-day; all
that he said of the morbid love of his
countrymen for the horrible Or the ludi-
crous is equally true now. The crowd
that assemblies just beyond the line of
gendarmes go to see how the criminal
will conduct himself. They sympathize
with him if he displays bravado or cour-
age, and they despise him on the least
symptoms of unmanliness. At the fatal
hour the culprit appears, usually clad in
a coarse, yellow baize gown-the color
In which the Spanish school of painters
robe the special object of their con-
tempt, Judas Iscariot. The scaffold
having been mounted, the culprit is
placed on a rude seat His back leans
against strong, upright post, to which
an iron collar is attached, inclosing his
neck, and 90 contrived as to be drawn
home by turning powerful screw be-
hind the post. The arms and legs OF
the culprit are tightly bound. When all
is ready the executioner takes the lever
of the screw in both hands, gathers
himself up for powerful muscular ef-
fort, and, at the moment of precon.
certed signal, draws the iron collar
tight. while an attendant filings IA black
handkerchief over the face. A convul-
sive pressure of the hands and heav-
ing of the chest are usually the only
visible signs of suffering.
