A novelty in New England political meth
DDS is the course of James S. Taylor of Con-
necticut who has announced himself an In
dependent candidate for Congress in the
Fourth Congressional District of that State
now represented BY E. W. Seymour Demo-
GRAFT. Mr.. Taylor in his address soliciting
support takes pretty much the same ground
as General Butler in his comments on exist
ing parties. He takes this method of pre-
senting his name, with the view of trying
to elevate the Democratic element of our
people above the corruption ever attending
the caucus rule" He claims to have been
induced to take the step by large constitu-
ency of Republicans and Democrats. With
regard to one subject his head is level. He
says, mo party need ever hope TO succeed
in New England with a iree-trade platform,
or by utilization with majority of the rep
resentatives thereof, who by their caucus
rule have forced such measures before the
country

There is no question Of the fact that the
free-trade Democrats, or, as theyprefer to be
called, the revenue REFORM Democrats,
ale much more earnest in their support of
Governor Cleveland than that wing of The
Democratic party which still clings with
more or less fidelity to the sound doctrine of
protection for American industry. Waiter
son and Hurd, Morrison and Carlisle, and
all that class claim Cleveland as one of their
own kind and they are making the fight for
the Democratic party in the Western States
boldly on the ground that Democratic vic
tory will be the end, or at least the begin
ming of the end, of the tariff policy which
has prevailed since the Republican party
governed the country. II MIST be presumed
that these party leaders know what they are
about, and know their man. And their at
titude maintained with so much assurance
and confidence is warning to be needed.

Good Bnttnr Cows.

Two COWS on the farm of John
Mitchell, near Newburg, N. Y, have
made themselves famous by some re-
markable yields of milk. They are
named Jamaica and Ethelka, and about
two months ago the former produced Il
little more than l12 pounds, or about
56 quarts of milk in one day, while
Ethclka gave l01 pounds, and during
thirty-onc consecutive days IN average
of j6 pounds. These records eclipscd
all previous yields of 3-ycar-olds, but
has been put in the shade by their
more recent performances. For III
days ending June l Jamaica yielded
1850 pounds, an average of 70 pounds
daily, while Ethclka gave l1,0i3
pounds, or over G3 pounds daily. They
have to be milked three times daily to
prevent the milk being wasted

Oscar. II took out comma

A Hot Place,

One of the hottest regions of the
earth is along the Persian Gulf, where
little or no rain falls. At Babrin the
arid shore has no fresh water, yet q
comparatively numerous population
contrives to live there, thanks to the
copious springs which burst forth
from the bottom of the sea. The
fresh water is got by diving. The
diver, sitting in his boat, winds a great
goatskin bag around his left arm, the
hand grasping its mouth; then he takes
in his hand heavy stone, to which is
attached n strong line, and, thus
equipped, he plunges in and quickly
reaches the bottom. Instantly OPEN
ing the bag over the strong jet of fresh
water, he springs up the ascending
current, at the same time closing the
bag, and is helped on board. The
stone is then hauled up, and the diver,
after taking breath, plunges in again.
The source of these copious submarine
springs is thought to he in the great
hills of Osman, some 500 or 600 miles
distant. t.-BoSton Times.

The gain in the four days receipts
of this year amounted to 1904.
The cause of the heavy "runn of
hogs, which We're mostly from Kansas,
can be accounted for in several ways.
The hogs were maturcd and ready for
market, then again money may have
been needed, and for another reason,
the wheat harvest is near at hand.
The four days receipts of hogs
amounted to j7,142, which at $1,000
each a very fair valuation--amountcd
TO SGSj,7Oi. From the 1902 cattle
will be deducted 1,S00 head which
were shipped through from Caldwell,
Kas,, to Valentine, Ncb., thence to
be driven to Montana, which leaves
5000 head sold and which will average
$4,000, making 100000 paid out for
cattle. Adding the amounts paid out
for hogs and cattle in four days of last
week it can be readily observed that,
within four days, the stock interests of
Kansas at Kansas City alone realized
nearly Sl,0O0,00O. Surely the value Of
such an interest to the country should
be appreciated Kansas Chy Lice

In regard to the S2jO,OOO which the state de
partmcnt desires 10 obtain from congress for
some purpose connected with thr right of way
for q canal across Nicaragua, it has come out
that none Of the money is to 90 to the Maritime
Canal company Of Nicaragua. This company
ha, been in possession Of a concession since
April u, 1850, which VAS extended April "a,
lSS2. BY the terms of this grant and the cx-
tension, the surveys Of the canal were To be
completed by September, 20, 1854, and report
cd to the Nicaraguan government. Money had
been collected by the canal company for com
plctng the last section Of the surveys and dc
posted with Grant Ward " Co, and Just
previous to the failure the engineers were about
to start ou their final work The failure made
further steps impossible, aud the concessions
must now lapse. The extension also bound
the canal company to pay to the government
Of Nicaragua the sum of s200,0OO for the pur-
pose of constructing canal connecting the
Tipitapa river with Lake Nicaragua, which
canal the Maritime company was bound to
construct under the first concession 1t is
thought by some that 1t is for this purpose
that the state department Is now asking money
