Although the earth has generously
rendered her increase, and wheat has
gone down in spite of the big corner
which Jim Keene, Hoyt and other spec
ulators have held over the market, there
will be general rejoicing at the final
collapse of this stupendous effort to con-
troll the price of the first necessary of
life. This syndicate. which is fnan-
cial slang in this case for an abomina-
BILE conspiracy, bought immensely of the
last crop more than six months ago when
England was taking heavily. They are
reported to have held 100000 BUSH
els at one time, and they expected to
sell at somewhere from S1.5O upward,
say so cents above present prices. The
country proved to be too big; the new
crop here will be larger than ever, and
the harvest promises fairly abroad. For
two months cheap breadstuffs has been
one of the certainties of the future.
With an American crop of from $50 to
500 million bushels, one-third at least
available for export, speculator on a
basis of l6 million bushels is dealing
in small potatoes. Mr.. Keene must be
reminded of an eloquent question in his
favorite work, -"Canst thou draw out
leviathan with an hook 2" His little
fishing adventure has cost him some
millions of dollars.

THE LOCAL PAPER.
ST. LEON SPRINGS, Aug. 9th.

The columns of a paper are the pub
fishers stock in trade, and the parties
who ask US to use them for their special
benefit must expect to pay for the same,
and we hope that parties will, after due
consideration, view the matter in the
proper light, as every public-spirited
citizen of place should have pride in
seeing his town and surrounding coun-
try improve. Every new house or barn
in the town or country, every fence,
road, shade tree, every new manufac-
turing establishment erected, every new
business opened, enhances the value of
property in our midst. Every honest,
rejecting mind knows this to be true,
and you should not forget that the local
newspaper adds much to the general
wealth and prosperity of the place, as
well as increases the reputation of the
town abroad. 1t benefits all who have
business in the place, enhances the value
of property, besides being desiable
public convenience, even if not conduc.
ted in the interests of the ruling politi-
cal power. If its columns are not filled
with brilliant editorials. still it benefits
you in many ways; 1t increases trade,
it cautions against imposition, it saves
you from loss, it warns you of danger,
it points out different advantages and
increases your profits. Now if you want
such a newspaper you must support it
by advertising your business in it, and
assist US in increasing its circulation by
getting your neighbors to subscribe with
you for it. If you want such a paper
you must not consider it an act of char
ity to support it, but means to increase
your own wealth as well as that of the
place in which you live. The local
press is the power that moves the people,
therefore support it by advertising and
subscribing and paying for it.-NeaOviAe
(Pa.) Enterprise.

Advices from Ireland show an unus-
ual state of agitation. Recently, for
eign ship which entered the Cove of
Cork to escape a storm, was entered at
night by an armed and disguised party
of men who robbed the vessel of case
of muskets, part of the cargo of the
vessel. No trace of the men or arms
has been found. 1t is alleged that
large bodies of the peasantry are being
secretly drilled at night by Irish Amer
lean Fenian emissaries, and also that
large quantities of improved fire arms
and ammunition have been secretly
landed on the West coast of Ireland
from the United States. These move
ments, in connection with the land agi-
tation, accounts for the sending of
additional troops to Ireland. The pol
icy of the Government seems to be of a
temporizing character. They are not
radical enough to suit the Home Rulers,
and not firm enough to overawe the
agrarian element who are for kicking
up "shindy."

once, one of the brutes hitched on to his
neighbor. when the growls and commo-
ton brought-perhaps one hundred
more to join in the fray. No harm was
done. We looked for the peas. as one
of the ingredients of soup in this coun-
try consists of this article of diet, and
were not disappointed, as almost every
man has good supply near his domi-
cile There is little tobacco plat near
each kitchen door, which will soon be
cut and dried for the use of the family
the coming winter. These people ap-
pear to be very happy. They have land
enough to raise their oats, peas, and
tobacco, one or more horses, single or
double spring-board, and jumper for
winter.
st. Leon Springs are near the bank
of the river, which at this point is about
fifty feet below the general level of the
country. 1t would have been much
more pleasant if the springs here dis
! charged their waters on top of the hill
| somewhere, rather than in this deep ra-
vine but this water, like other water,
runs down hill, and comes to the sur
face just at the rivers edge. Hotel
buildings sufficient to accommodate rs
persons comfortably, have been erected
here, where large number come annu-
ally for rest, and the cure of various
ailments. At present, 100 persons are
stopping with Mr.. Gilman, the popular
landlord from the Derby Line Hotel,
who spends four months here each year,
and the remainder of his time at the
Line. Cleanliness, good table, and
much courtesy on the part of those who
are running this house, to say nothing
of the water, makes this place where
visitors can spend their time agreeably.
We notice among the guests several who
are lame. and some who appear to be
sick; but, on the whole. they are very
lively set of cripples, and an active sci
of invalids, especially at the table
There are lot of young people here
and smart sprinkling of babies, which
with piano, make sufficient music
night and day. Some of the young
people make the evenings joyous by ;
kitchen dance. In another letter W,
will try and say something of the medi
cinal qualities of the water.

Mr.. j. Fl. Randall, grcenback orator,
undertook to make few speeches in the
interest Of his party in Alabama. His
reception in that state, as chronicled by
himself in the National VieaC, is not
complimentary to the people of that State
or to the Democratic party. His meet
ings, he says, were broken up by bands
of music, and by roughs who shouted
for Hancock, and he was told that the
people claim that they will be paid for
property they lost through radical mis-
rule. Mr. Randall states frankly that
the tone and temper of the South is bel
ligerent, and the inference is conveyed
in his recital of grievances, that the
widest statement of the future troubles
of the government of the United States
should the Democratic party succeed in
this election, is likely to come true
Such pictures of depravity and admoni
ton of breakers ahead should cause
thoughtful men to pause aud consider
we'll the situation; TO consider whether
it is not duty to vote the Republican
ticket at the coming election.

THE BRITISH PERIL IN
AFGHANISTAN.

There may be stirring news from AT
ghanistan ere long. The tenor of re-
cent dispatches from India all point to
the possibility that the recent disaster
at Kushk-i-Nakhud may be followed by
more terrible one at Candahar. 1t
may help the reader to understand the
news when it arrives, whether it be dis
astrous to British arms or not, to briefly
review the salient points in the military
situation.
After his defeat by Ayoob Khan,
Gen. Burrows retired to Candahar,
where Gen. Primrose is now in command
of total garrison of 200 men, of whom
little more than one-third are Euro
peans. Ayoob Khan has evidently es-
tablished complete investment of the
city. for the runners sent out from
Quettah have returned and reported
their inability to get through the Af-
CHAN lines with dispatches to General
Primrose. 1t is plain that the place
cannot withstand protracted siege.
The disparity in numbers between the
besiegers and besieged is very great,
about five to one, and all reports agree
that Ayoob is we'll supplied with artil-
lery, and has the assistance of several
skilled European officers. The citadel
has been described as very strong, but
a military writer in one of the London
papers says this is mistake, and that
its strength is much greater against the
city than against an enemy at its gates.
1t stands on the north side of the city,
and has it and the bazaar which occu-
pies, in the form of Greek cross, the
four main streets of the city, an open
place d ornaeS. The citadel is surround
ed with ditch, which, at the time of
the last British occupation, was full Of
rubbish, and useless, bat has since been
cleared out, though at the best it is
shallow. The walls are about twenty
feet thick at the base, of sun-dried earth
well-tempered, but friable. On the in.
side of the wall is banquette, the par
apet of from two to six or seven feet
thick. being generally crenellated, but
utterly useless as against artillery. The
gates are of old wood, as dry as finder
and nearly as rotten, but all of them
are protected by covered ways, though
they are above the level both of the sur
rounding country and of the courtyard
on the north side, which is, indeed, Sc
far below the level even of the fosst
that it could be flooded at pinch. Som,
! of the covered ways are strengthed will
stone, but upon the whole the gates
must be pronounced weak and not capa
BILE of holding out against battery O
3 guns for very long. while the narrow
!. ness of the banquette inside would no
allow guns to be mounted, and it would
t be dangerous to make embrasures in tn
thick lower wall. The commissaria
o stores, believed according to the las
y private and public information to b
very fairly supplied, are within tn

A Deputy United States Marshal
went to Covington county, Alabama,
few days ago, to arrest men charged
with beating and intimidating United
States witnesses and destroying process
ses from the United States Courts. He
reports that he was met by force of
between twenty-five and fifty men, armed
with shot-guns and revolvers, who had
assembled at the barn of man named
Fenton, for whom the Marshal had
warrant. The mob defied the Marshal,
and Fenton refused to submit to arrest,
saying: when we elect Hancock this
- foolishness will stop. The United
States has no business to interfere with
this county and its matters" The Mar
shall had no force to fight the crowd,
and was unable to make any arrests. So
the authority of the United States was
successfully resisted by mob of Alaba-
ma democrats. The affair may seem of
small Importance, but it is in reality
exceedingly significant. 1t shows that
the spirit of rebellion is still alive.
These Alabama supporters of Hancock
do not recognize the right of the United
States to interfere in their affairs. They
bulldOze witnesses. tear up writs issued
by the United States Courts. and when
United States officer appears with
warrants for their arrest, they rally with
their shot-guns and drive him off. They
cannot wait for Hancock's election fol-
the "foolishness" of enforcing the laws
of the United States to stop, but are de-
termined to anticipate the era of non
interference and free bulldozing which
they believe he is going to inaugurate
