Tho depth of the water is unknown,
an its surface is smooth and unruffis.l
As il lies 30 far below the surface OF

not affect it. Its leng h is estimated
at tw I've OF fifteen miles, and its
width at ten or twelve. There is an

senator Davis Defines his Position
Judge Davis, Of Illinois, President
Of the United States Senate, has drtia-
Ell his political views in a speech de-
Iivercl in the Senate. He intends tn
extend to President Arthur's admins
tratinn candid treatment, sustaining
it when right and opposing it when
wrong. 1t seems best to him that the
party which has the President and the
House Of representatives should be
held answcrable for all public meas
nrrs, and that there lie no divided re-
SpunsibiIity, he favnrs Continuing the
committees of the Senate as they now
are constituted, and will mt vote to
change the officers OF that body. tie
thinks the Senate is the first place
where an example should be set
against the common scrambllng Tor
"!fice that disfgures our political life.
Tie country was almost equally divid-
ed between the two national parties
ut the last Presidential election, and
while the majority Of one Of the par
tics in the House Of Representatives
is small, the Republicans AID De,no-
Gratis in the Senate confront each other
with like numbers. The committees
are held 10y one party aud The offices
of the Senate hy the other, and from
his standpoint it would be unwise t.
| disturb this condition of affairs. His
only ambition is to bring about "a PEI,
feet peace between the North and the
South as the best means OF protaoling
the prosperity Of tie whole Union.
"N hen" said the Senator, "the rude
voice Of faction, which for fifteen years
past in time Of peace has distnrbe''
the national fellowship, that should
have been restored at the close OF the
civil war, shall he silcnccd, this cnun-
try will bound forward in u career OF
grandeur and glo,y that will astonisll
mankind. But reconciliation has no
bier aims than mere national wealth.
If the experiment of a republican gov.
ernmen, is to endure and be perpelua.
ted, as we humhly pray God it may lie
for unborn generations, then the spirit

it was created by the patriotism of ON

TIE NeaCk Post Office.

Last Monday morning our citizens were
agreeably surprised when the Post Office
opened to find that its internal arrange
ments were remodeled and in q much i'm
proved condition, thanks to the enter
pristng spirit, both of our postmaster,
and the owner of the building. Mr..
Moak and Mr.. Brook had beer for some
weeks previous quietly arranging plans
for the new order of things and the de-
tails of the work were given to James
Forncrook & Company. The old and
dilapidated boxes and drawers, which
have stood the test so long, have been re-
placed by a bran new set of the Yale lock
boxes and drawers, which are not only
more convenient for general use but most
chaste and neat in appearance, giving to
the interior Of the office a bright and
cheerful look. With the completion of
all the improvements contemplated Wa
tertown can boast of as pleasant and con-
venient post office as any of her sister
cities.

Winter Wheat.

Many conjectures are arising regarding
the probable effect of the present winter
upon the winter wheat in this section.
1t is the opinion that owing to late sowing
generally, and the small growth in con-
sequence the crop had when the winter
set in, together with the long time it re-
manned exposed to severe weather with
out any covering of snow, it is more than
likely to be seriously injured, while again
it is claimed that the test as to the safe
ty OF the crop is yet to come; that moth
ing definite regarding its condition can
be stated until spring fairly opens, which
is held to be the more reasonable conclu-
sion by those who have had the most ex.
perience with growing winter wheat. The
large area in this section under winter
wheat, perhaps three times larger than
ever before known, excites considerable
interest concerning its prospects.

and he Goes on to show that it is only by
reason of the strong coercive hand of the
Supreme Court of the United States that
counties, towns and even states have been
prevented from repudiating their indebt-
edness on the technical pretexts. Dillon
on Municipal Bonds p. Sc. Then too it
is we'll to remember that every defalcation
of a town or county Injuries the credit
of the rest of the state, and of the
various municipalities, who are willing
to pay their debts. 1t may be stated au-
thoritatively that the successful evasion
of her debts by Watertown has been of
more injury to the state credit than the
whole debt of Watertown is worth. In
view of these facts would not a general
law enabling courts to enforce their
judgments be both wise and just? Iowa
has done it. Why not we? In CONVEX
sation with prominent and intelligent
member of the present legislature, the
writer asked this question and received
the answer that the granger element
would never permit passage of such an
act If this be true then indeed Mr..
Bennett speaks the truth when he says
that "Watertown (and all other unwil-
ling municipal debtors) may look to
their state legislature for protection" from
their just debts. Yours truly,
