The September report of the English
Commissioners of Inland Revenue shows
that in England during the year ending
last March, the revenue from excise
duties on spirits decreased So. 1876, and
upon beer, e130,451. The quantity of
spirits consumed as beverage de-
creased in England by 294, go gallons,
and in Scotland by 46, 255 gallons; but
in Ireland there was an increase of
245, 667 gallons; thus the net decrease
for the United Kingdom was 95,S57
gallons. The Commissioners remark:
"There cannot be any doubt that in
some localities the spread of temper
ance principles has already caused a
marked diminution in the consumption
of Intoxicating liquors, and the ten
dency is still increasing. On the other
hand, it is remarkable to find in Ire
land, in spite of decrease of popula-
ton, an increased consumption of 245,-
667 gallons"

The Chicago Daily Ne,CS, comment
ing on the failure of great CONNER
cial house, which had for years, up to
the very hour of its collapse, been re-
garded 10y the business community as
one of the solidest financially in that
city, remarks: "The failure is only an
other instance of the lamentable effects
of the present speculative trading which
has, since 1879, virtually debauched
the former older, more conservative
and safer methods of business. The
great trouble with the trade during the
past few months has been that those
to whose hands the credit of the country
has been intrusted have been to far too
great an extent unable to intelligently
use it in the direction of legitimate
operations. To say nothing of the
modern custom of dating notes ahead
which has brought ruin upon so many

most dangerous symptoms of mercan-
tile expansion that, perhaps, has ever
been experienced in the United States.
Notes of every description, from kite
flying paper of the most pronounced
character, with no property behind it,
to the best class of commercial bills,
are daily hawked about the streets for
sale. The result is that even the most
conservative bankers and capitalists
are often deceived into acceI ting really
worthless securities, through no fault
of their own. They are simply made
the victims of a vicious system OF de
cidedly bad imitation of a foreign GUS
tom, which, unlike ours, is hedged
about by checks and guards which rem
der it particularly safe"

THE FORD BROTHERS.
Attempt to Assassinate Charlie at His
Fathers Home i'm Missouri
Disappearance of Bob.
Richmond Mo- Telegram. !

llucnInOnu (MO.J IelegraIn.J
News has reached this city of the attempted
assassination of ha lie Ford, one OF the no.
torious Ford brothers, at his fathers home,
about three miles from this city. AS nearly
az can be learned the circumstances are as
follows: Ford had been notified anonymously
not to come into the neighborhood
but he disregarded the notice, and Monday
night after supper, while walking
out, seven shots were fired at him
In rapid succession, but none of them took
effect, although one passed through his coat
The shooting was done by persons concealed
in tall weeds growing near by. Ford returned
the fire, but being unable TO see his assailants
did not succeed in hitting them, and they
made good their escape. There are many
rumors as to who the parties were, but moth
ing is really known as to their identity.
Some say it was neightors of Ford S
father, who had forbidden both
Charlie and Robert Ford TO come into the
vicinity. The report Of the attempted assas-
:ination created much excitement. A mover
who was camped near by stated that the shots
were fired so closely together that they
seemed to have been all fired at once, and
there is a strong belief that the party was
composed of seven men who made their escape
ON horseback, the horses being in the timber
adjoining.
Ford has stated that he feared some such
an attack, as his life has been threatened
frequently, and that he frustrated n plan
to kill him or his brother Mt Peoria by amen
Der of the troupe with which he was perform
ing, who had substituted powder and ball for
blank cartridges.
Charlie Ford left here for Kansas City 10
secure the aid of officers in searching for his
brother Bob, who has mysteriously disap-
peared, and whom Charlie thinks has been
foully dealt with.

Melting, the Indiana Butcher.

A recent dispatch from Lafayette, Ind,
says: Jacob Melting, the brute who killed
Ada Atkinson, continues to hold his peace in
regard to the details of that horrible tragedy.
He positively refuses to make any further
admissions than have already been printed.
The Coroner of Benton county, Paul
Htzie, has visited him several times, as
has also the Rev. II. S. Buchtel, and
both have earnestly urged him To make a
clean breast of the whole transaction and
make his peace with heaven, but thus far to
no purpose. He continues to have pa rs in
the head whenever the mat err is broached
o him. He is very outspoken on one point,
however, and that Is an intention to demand
change of venue from Benton county.

EDUCATIONAL MATTERS.
Interesting Figures from Report Of the
Commissioner OF Education.
Tho Status Of Education In the
Northwest.

FIGURES FROM THE COMMISSIONERS REPORT.
The report OF the Commissioner of Educa-
ton for 1881, embraces the following, as to
the condition OF education ia Northwestern
States:
Illinois shows an increase In receipts, ex-
penditures and rate of teachers wages, and
decrease in enrolment and attendance. Yet
70 per cent OF the school youth were enrolled,
and the average attendance was 60.7 per cent.
Of the enrolment.
Indiana has lost heavily in enrolment and
daily attendance, but still Il In good educa-
tional condition. Progress has been made as
regards school-houses, graded schools, and
receipts and expenditure.
Michigan had nearly ~ per cent. OF her
school population enrolled in the public
schools, an increase for the year OF IL, 073 In
school population and of 9,1S7 in public
school enrolment, with 934 more in private
schools. There were 175 more public school
houses, school property valued at S4O6,S57
more, and 1881 more volumes in public
school libraries. There was an increase in
the number OF teachers employed and in the
number attending State institutes. The
permanent school fund was Sl59,24l more,
and S30I,6I3 more were expended on pubic
schools, although the average pay Of teachers
decreased slightly and the average term was
four days longer.
Wisconsin has an increased school popula-
ton, slightly increased enrolment and
decreased daily attendance. There was i'm
provement In the quality and length of
schools, and in the annual expenditure and
permanent funds for them. Other facts fur
Their indicate steady and healthful advance
ment.
Minnesota is imperfectly reported. A small
decrease in enrolment and heavy gain in
school property are indicated by the statistics
given.
Iowa had 70 per cent. of its school popula-
ton 1894, 1907 under instruction, and has adj
vanced in all matters except average attend
ance.
Nebraska has advanced in nearly all re-
spects. There were ,476 more youth of the
school age, S,227 more enrolled in public
schools, and 5,3iS more in average daily at
tendance. With an increase of 269 in school
districts, there were 5l7 more having school
six months and over, while fewer reported no
schools and the average term for the State
was day longer. More teachers were en-
ployed at a slight advance in average pay,
81, rs more were expended for public-school
purposes, and the permanent State school
fund increased by Sl,S03,34S.

The Third Greatest Diamond.

Mr.. Peter Rhodes has found dia-
mond in South Africa which enjoys the
proud distinction of being a paragon
gem" 1t weighs $50 carats. 1t ex-
ceeds in dimensions the "Koh-i-noor, F"
the "Star of the South" the Regent"
or PITT" the Austrian" and "Sancy"
jewels, and in purity of water it is re-
ported to rival the Regent" the finest
of all these notable gems. 1t is inferior
in size to the "Orloff," belonging to the
Russian Gar, which weighs 100 carats
then there is said to be diamond in
Borneo, still uncut, which weighs 400
carats. But Mr.. Rhodes has white
elephant. His gem is so enormously
costly that there is no market for it.
There is no monarch in the market to
buy it, and its cost is so great that il
would impoverish the millionaire who
might wish to possess it. Rich men
who are willing to give up all their
fortune for the sake of a precious stone
are naturally very scarce, and so Mr..
Rhodes, Notwithstanding his great find,
may die poor man. A jeweler in New
York has a diamond worth 100000. II
weighs 10 carats. 1t is the largest
gem on this continent. Democrats

THE CORN CROP.
Final Report from Washington, Showing
Falling Off of 40, 900, 900 Bushels.

Final Report from Washington, Showing
Falling Off of 10000, 900 Bushels.
The November report of the National De-
partment Of Agriculture gives the local yield
per acre. In the October final reports, the
condition of corn, which averaged seventy
eight, was interpreted to mean product Of
close to 1,60O,OO0,OO0 bushels. The average
yield per acre appears to be twenty three and
Dne-tenth bushels-one and one-half bushels
lower than the yield of 1882 This gives re-
suit practically identical with that of October.
On the acreage reported in July of 6S, 30O,0 900,
the exact figures would be 1877, geo, 900
bushels. In the revision of the seasons
returns this result will not be materially
changed. The product will therefore be
about 40, 600, 900 bushels short of the previous
crop, Notwithstanding the increase of area.
The potato crop is large, amounting to
LIS, 000, 600 bushels.

JOHN NEWTON, of Ledyard Center,
CT, died recently, owning $4,000 in
cash and half the swamp land and brush
pasture in Ledyard. He lived to four
score, and his bent and beaten form
and his patched garments were familiar
objects to his debtors for miles around.
Mr.. Newton was an eccentric character
He never had a debt. He "farmed it"
with al his might III his youth, and his
first earnings he lent on mortgage.
This he kept up, until at his death most
all of his property consisted of mort
cages on the barren farms throughout
the town. He had hundreds of acres
that cost him little if anything, and so
much that the Collector never knew
whether he was paying his full tax or
not. He married Charity Norman,
because, among other good traits, she
could turn out such a prime article of
butter. Once he began building new
house, which cost him thousands of
dollars. But just before completing it
he got angry at something, and he at
once nailed up the windows, and now it
is rotting down unoccupled. He spent
his days in howell.

Game i'm the Far West.

Wild game is every year becoming
scarcer along the lines of the railroads
in the far West. Even along the
Northern Pacific road, so recently
opened through comparatively new
region of country, we looked in vain
while penetrating the forests for signs
of buffalo, deer, bear or other wild
beasts. The only wild animal we saw
in the long stretch from st. Paul to
Puget sound was an occasional ante
lope or wolf, and we saw only very
few of these. You must leave the
railroad and go back into the country
ten or twenty miles, if you want to see
any big game" said an old hunter we
met at Missoula, in Montana Territory,
and he added: "The railroad has
scared them off, but even in the distant
forests and plains game of all kinds is
being slaughtered so murderously by
fur-hunters and hide-hunters, it is now
hardly worth mans while to go after
tits such hard work to get anything"
As regards the buifaloes, which were
so plenty few years ago, all accounts
agree that they have been virtually ex-
terminated-a fact which exasperates
the Indian tribes against the pale-faced
sportsmen, who shoot the animals
either for the mere fun of the thing or
for their hides and market. The
buffalo was the Indians main depend
ence for food, and its extinction is to
him serious deprivation COP. Shu-
man, IN Chicago Journal.
