WHETHER the United States are
to regain their former pre-eminent
rank as a commercial and naval
power on the seas, is a question
that no American can contemplate
with Indifference. The subject is
discussed with marked ability in the

by the Hon. Nelson Dingley, M. G.
who opposes the project of admit
ting foreign-built ships to Ameri-
can register, and by Capt. John
Goldman, who is well known as a
jealous advocate of that measure.
Judge ]. A. Jameson, in the same
number of the Review, discusses
the question, "Shall Our Civiliza-

the means that are at hand for
withstanding the various agencies,

which threaten to overturn our ex-
listing civil and social institutions.

The American CultiVator SAYS
that store pigs and those kept for
breeding will not be hurt by being
induced to root in the manure heaps
a part of the time this month, and
to make them do so an occasional
handful of corn thrown into the
heap is good practice. They
make their beds there it is too heat
ing for sow with pig, and it is said
to be frequent cause of rheuma-
tism, and also, by some writer's, the
principal cause of measly pork.
Fattening hogs, however, should
not be allowed to work in the man

A DISPATCH from Memphis of
recent date says:

A DISPATCH from Memphis of
recent date says:
The river here came to stand,
this forenoon, and has since risen
two inches. The gauge, tonight,
marks thirty-one feet five inches.
The heighth attained by the recent
overflow was thirty-five feet one
inch. Those best able to judge
think the water now coming from
out the Ohio and other streams will
swell the river at this point about
two feet, which, beyond delaying
travel on some of the railroad lines
which were overfloWed by the late
rise, will not do any other damage.
1t is fair to assume that the waters
will decline sufficiently to enable
the planters of the whole Mississip-
pi valley to plant full crop of cot
ton and corn.

The Condition of New Mexico.

WASHINGTON, d. c., Oct 13.-In his re-
port to the sIcretary of the interior upon the
condition of affairs in New Mexico the past
year, Gov. Sheldon says the territory has
prospered materially in all its industries.
Stock raising has received greater impetus
than any other interest, the number of cattle
and sheep being estimated at two million
head. The report states there is an ire
pressible conflict waged between cattle and
sheep rancheros which may result, in the
near future, in the destruction of the sheen
raising business. The trouble is attributed
10 the destruction of pastures by sheep, and
there is no authority resting in the territorial
govern ment to stop the conflict The remedy
suggested is the passage of law defining
the boundaries of ranches and requ ring the
erection of fences. Taxable property in the
territory has increased in value during the
year four million dollars. 1t is asserted that
unless law is passed allowing individuals
to acquire large amounts of land, it cannot
be expected that the stock raising industry
will be developed to the highest attain able
point Seyen-eighths of the public land in
New Mexico, says Gov. Sheldon, will. in all
probability, never become the property of
citizens, as it is difficult to comply with the
requirements OF the present land laws on
account of the absence of water. The failure
to settle the status of the Spanish and Mexi-
can grants has retarded the progress of the
territory. The production of gold and silver
has reached point sufficient, in the opinion
of the governor, to justify the establishment
OF United States mint in the territory.

ST. John in RnEtinore.

BALTIMORE, Nd, Oct. ia mass meeting OF
the friends of Prohibition was held in Monument
square tonight. In the throng the square and on
the stand were a number of ladies'. Ex-Gov. st.
John, candidate of the party for president, was
warmly welcomed. He spoke OF his passage
through Baltimore twenty two years ago as cap
tain of a company OF Illinois infantry, and of the
kind reception he then met, and was happy to
see that the sectional hatred of that time had
passed away. Speaking of the platforms OF the
Republican and Democratic parties he said there
was no issue between them, and if abuse of
each other removed it would be difficult to
tell one from the other The Probibitionists had
come before tee country with protective plank
in their platform, and il was something else to
wool. lie has always. been Republican in po.k
tics up TO the 9Th Of last June, when the Repub-
lican national convention turned a deaf ear to
the appeals of half the people. That party had
refused to protect the boys OF the country. aud
supposed it would afford them 10 protection un-
less they were made of pig iron. When the in
teliigence came from the west that COWS were
affected by disease, business OF congress was
suspended and q committee sent to look after
the cows, but that body would do nothing to pro-
Iect the mothers and children of the country.

Senator Camden estimates the Democratic ma

Senator Kenna thinks the maximum majority
viii be about 1000. According to Mr.. Camden
all the Democratic candidates for
congress will be elected by majoritics ranging
from 1000 in the Fourth district to 5000 In the
Third. The outlook is generally regarded as
least encouraging in the Fourth district, but
even there it is thought no doubt exists of the
success OF the Democratic candidates.
To sum up, it may be said the Republicans are
making serious effort to carry the state
and that the Democrats are confident

which is an important factor in the contest. and
which has heretofore sided with the Republi-
cans, is said to be largely for Cleveland, while
the accession of Irish voters to the Republican
ranks, OF which so much was expected
in various portions of the state,
are said to be here as elsewhere
an Insignificant factor in the contest. The op-
position Of the railroads, also, which it was feared
might injure the chances of Wilson, the Demo
cratic candidate for governor. is not regarded as
formidable except perhaps along the
line of the Chesapeake 6 Ohio
road, which has always been a distinctively
Republican corporation. Any possible losses
from this source, it is thought, will be more than
offset by gains from the labor vote From q
general survey of the situation and from such in
formation az can be CLEANED from leading men of
both parties, the conclusion may he drawn that
West Virginia is reasonably sure to give Demo
cratic majority tomorrow.

COLUMBUS, Oct. 13.-Mr. Blaine left Lancaster
at little after for Toledo, via Columbus Just
as he started the train going down Hooking val
ley carrying Mr.. Hendricks, the Democratic
nominee for vice president, arrived at Lancaster.
The crowd at the depot cheered Mr.. Hendricks
when he appeared on the platform, and he
returned thanks in very brief speech in the
course of which he said: ''If Ohio tomorrow
shall support the Democratic cause
the fight is over: but if Ohio shall
not do that, then in Indiana and other states the
fight is to the DEATH
At Columbus Ex-Governor Foster, Chairman
Ogilvie, of the Republican state committee, and
ex-Commissioner Dudley, boarded Mr.. Blaine's
car. There was stop here of over an hour,
but the car was left on the outskirts of the city
and didn't go into the depot at all.
TOLEDO, Oct. 13.-At Prospect, small station
where brief stop was made. an interesting
scene took place. Several hundred people We're
assembled, who cheered, shouted and waved
their handkerchiefs when Mr. Blaine appeared
While he was bowling his acknowledgements two
very old men, veteran Republicans who had
come to the depot to see him, were brought out
and Blaine jumped down from the platform
and went to meet them. One of these was Rob-

was John Jones. native of Wales, but q resi-
dent of this country since 1918. He is now in
his ninetieth year. Both OF the veterans seemed
to be well and strong, aud Mr.. Blaine remarked
afterward that they had grasped his hands
firmly. They both assured him that they ex-
pected to see him elected president of the United
States and he expressed his qualification in meet
ing them. When the interview was ended and
Mr.. Blaine stepped upon the platform, the peo
pie checred again and clamored for q speech,
and Mr.. Blaine in response said:
81 thank you, my friends, for your kind recep-
ton. This old gentleman, with whom have
just been talking, was born when this country
had but 3,000,0O0 of people, it has now about
60,000,O00. He was born when we had just es-
capped from colonial dependence, and he has
lived to see this among the leading nations of
the world. III we desire to keep it up let us
maintain those principles on which alone true
republic rest.'
The next stop was made at Marion The peo-
pie here seemed wild with excitement Mr.
Blaine spoke a few words of thanks and encour-
agsment.
At tseyeral small stations there was loud cheering
as the train passed. At Upper Sandusky
there was another very enthusiastic crowd, and
here again, the people demanded a speech, and
Mr. Blaine said:
"a speech, my friends, is unnecessary A
speech on political topics is too late action is the
word now. Tomorrow Ohio is to proclaim the
result of the presidential election. l hope that
Republicans of the state are ready for the trial.
At 4 40 the train reached Toledo, and Blaine
