A FEW days ago the Brooklyn Eagle
published an interesting article on
"Wrecks of Ocean Steamers from
which we gather the sad fact that
during the past forty-one years,
nearly seventy fine steamers have
been utterly lost during their passage
across the Atlantic. Some left their
docks never to be seen again by
human eye, disappearing as suddenly
and completely as a sea fog, others
ran upon rocks or headlands, while
sunken ice, collision and fire did the
remainder of the destructive work.
We, who olive at home at ease"
many of us living so far inland as to
know nothing of the ocean, but by
report, how "little do we think upon
the dangers of the seas!' They
are many and manifold, but not
greater or more numerous than those
surrounding us upon the land, but
when mishap does overtake the
sailor, or traveller, doing cuisines
in great waters" the ocean and
world are lonely indeed; the re-
morseless deep is not. covered, as is
the land, in all directions, by the
extended hands of individuals and
institutions. Nevertheless, Hood,
in one of his songs, describes the
sailor in a hurricane, saying,
Lord help em, how ! pities all
Unhappy folks on shore now
We know what risks all landsmen run,
From noblemen to tailors
Then, Bill let US thank Providence
That you and are sailors"

The approaching winter speaks of
flooded rivers and streams, and
fords unfordable, leading to much
delay of traffic, and inconvenience,
and even danger. to life. The first
requirements in any community are
roads and bridges; a road broken
by an unbridged stream is a bar
barism, and one an. enterprising
and developing community will not
long tolerate. Now Morgan and
Fentress counties are waking up to
partake of the development and
enterprise of this steam driven and
electric lighted age, and it is not
possible the two counties will much
longer submit to the dangers and
and inconvenience of Brewster
fordover the Clear Forkriver. Surely
the two counties are wealthy and
progressive enough-with the large
land companies, too, that would be
greatly benefited by the improvement

RUGBY cannot depend upon agri-
culture alone. Some manufacturing
enterprises must be established, and
the proposed canning factory is a
a step in the right direction. There
is no internal, or external, reason
why it should not only be a success,
but great success. The soil is all
that could be desired for any kind,
and any amount, of fruits and vege-
tables, not excepting corn, which, if
not profitable to raise in this section
for general purposes, would be a
paying crop for canning require
ments. The soil being all right,
with liberal location terms from the
Board, excellent position for mar
kets, and good local cash confidence,
what is to hinder, before the winter
is out, the establishing of a company
and factory, and, as the spring and
summer come on, the introduction
on the market Of "Rugby' brand
of canned fruits and vegetables
that will open the way to big bust
ness, and induce others to start
some manufacturing and productive
concern?

These data show not only that the pro-
nounced republican states have greatly
more retail liquor dealers in proportion to
population than the pronounced democra
tic states but shows the astonishing fact
that the average the country over of retail
dealers in liquor is 40 per cent. greater in
republican states than in democratic states.
1t is fair to observe, too that one-f1fth of
all the retail dealers in the democratic
column are in the two states of California
and Connecticut, the state governments of
which are both republican and which are
hardly to be classed in the democratic
column.
These figures utterly disprove the as
sumption that irtemperance is democra-
tic vice, and that the course of the democra-
tic party is the result of the debaunche ry
of its individual members.

those who are not satisfied that the demo
cratic party does not hasten to declare for
prohibition The impression is sought to
be made that it is the inordiaate desire TO
indulge the passion for liquor which con-
trolls the democratic party on the subject.
Doubt is sought to be thrown on the pro
fession that it is the regard for individual
rights which controls democrats. To sus-
tain this impugnment of democratic mo-
tives it ought to be easy to show that DEM
ocrats are addicted beyond the average of
their fellow citizens to drinking and drunk
enness. 1t ought at least to appear that
those states which are always carried by
the democratic party by great majorities
are addicted to the excessive use
of LIQUOR. A comparison be
tween states most positively Democratic
and those most positively Republican
should surely prove the charge of intern
perance against Democrats and show the
relative moderation of the Republican par
ty in the Indulgence of the appetite for
drink. Data on this subject is not diff
cult to be had. The last annual report of
the commissioner of internal revenue for
the United States furnishes much interest
ing and suggestive matter to think of in
this connection. The following figures
show the number of retail liquor dealers
in each state of the Union and the number
of people there are in each state to the
dealer. For the purpose of convenient
comparison those which voted for Han
cock in 1880 are separated from those
which voted for Garfield. The average
number of people to each saloon in all the

miles north of Hudson. On the eastern
division there was no frost. There was a
light frost on the Sioux City division to
st. James and on the Blue Earth branch.
As corn is pretty much all gathered there,
no damage was reported. On the Mani
