The population of Nevada is said to be steadily diminishing. The Carson Tribune estimates that there are now not more than twelve thousand voters in the State. In 1880 the total vote was 16,611. Only one county has 5000 voters, and of all the others only three have voting population in excess ot 1 ,OOO each One county is credited with 200 voters only, and there are five counties whose combined vote will not exceed 2,500.

Catarrh

Is undoubtedly caused by impure blood Hence medicine which purfes the blood removes the cause of the disease and opens the way for thorough cure. This is exactly what Hoods Sarsaparilia does and it makes the cure complete by giving the system health and strength &nd enabling it to throw of the depressing effects of the disease.

The new Schuylkill Valley railroad in Pennsylvania is remarkable for the number and costliness of it's bridges. Besides thir- teen large iron structures it has many others which span small streams and ravines. The largest bridge, that at Manayunk, is 1,409 feet in length, has five spans with plate gir- ders, and stands S5 feet above the level of the water. The bridge over the Union canal at Reading is 700 feet in length, with & through truss. In addition to the expense of the various bridges is that of the tunnel near Phoenixville, which, with its approaches, was formed out of the solid rock. The tun- neI is 800 feet long by 27 feet wide.
 Instead of happily receiving medal for good scholarship at the hands of Philadel- phia's board of education, Olga F.

Particulars of the Awful Disaster That Fell
Upon spain
At Granada on Tuesday the ''Te Deum"
was sung and prayers were offered for the
cessation of the earthquake.
At Priego, i'm the province of Cordova, the
shocks came while the theatre was crowded
with people. A terrible panic followed.
Many persons jumped from the galleries and
from the windows upon the crowd below.
Two were killed outright and forty were
more or less injured.
At Malaga two lofty chimneys forming
part of the gas works fell to the earth. The
patients in the hospital were so terrified that
they forgot for the time being their mala-
dies and fled to the open air. The conViCts
in the prison refused TO enter cells and re-
manned all night in the court yard.
Albania and Santa Cruz were completely
destroyed. Soldiers are at work clearing up
the ruins i'll search of corpses, which are
found in large numbers. Many of them are
horribly disfigured. The number of persons
killed is still unknown. There is no doubt,
however, that the report which fixed the
number at 900 is an eNaggeratiOn. There i
much distress among the survivors and the
people are asking for relief.
At Albunuelas 200 persons received injuries
more or less serious From the ruined
houses 100 bodies have so far been recovered.
The barracks at Lola, in the province Of
Granada, are ruined. At Zatfarraya, town
not far from Lola, fifty persons perished.
The walls of all the churches in Malaga
were cracked. Several houses i'll Canellos
were destroyed and many persons were
killed. Five persons were killed and several
others injured at Motifs. Sixteen houses were
destroyed at Lam jaron, and numerous houses
were demolished and lives lost i'll other vii
lagos. Fifty corpses have been found at Ven
tas de Tain Arranza.

4 Quarter Million Dollars Asked for CoTup-
ton Purposes.
In the House of Representatives the strong
est opposition to the Nicaraguan treaty
comes from members of the Appropriations
and the Foreign Affairs committees, before
which Secretary Frelinghuysen last season
made his arguments in behalf OF the $50, 900
appropriation then asked for as necessary to
negotiate the treaty. One of these members
has made this extraordinary statement "In
the presence of Mr.. Randall mention him
as one of the prominent men present
Secretary Frelinghuysen Stated i'm language
plain though diplomatic that S25O,OOO was
wanted to corrupt the Nicaraguan govern
ment'
This member went on TO say that Mr..
FTelinghuyseu was asked what General
Grant Mr.. Menocal, and the other parties to
whom the original concession had been made
would demand. The secretary replied that
they would want one hundred thousand
dollars each, and as there were twelve Of them
that would amount tO 81, 100000 Being asked
il he would advise the payment of that
amount, he replied that he would agree to
treat them very literally in order to get them
out of the way.
Speaking of the treaty, this member of the
House, who questioned Secretary Freling-
huysen, sayS he believes that the concession
holders comprising Grant, Menocal, Phelps
and others, are the parties who prompted
the insertion in the treaty of the provision
requiring an interest in the canal to be given
to Nicaragua, and he believes that large
proportion of this interest would 90 into the

IT is easy to believe in the genuineness Of
the reported discovery in Maryland house
hold of four carefully boxed manuscript vol
umes of correspondence between VIM. Vans
Murray, American minister resident and
envoy extraordinary to the Netherlands, and
General Washington and Alexander Hamil-
ton, the purpose of the correspondence on the
part of Washington and Hamilton having
been to secretly obstruct and prevent Lafay-
ette's proposed removal from France to
America, to become a citizen here. At that
time they represented and espoused the ex-
treme Federalist side of the political ques-
tions disturbing America, while the Jeffer-
sonans drew inspiration from the French
ideas, which Lafayette personified. The in
fiuence of his removal to and residence in
America would have been to strengthen the
anti-Federalists and 1t is not hard to conceive
of Hamilton and even Washington doing all
in their power to thwart it. The correspond
ence reported to be found will be interesting
and important 1t need not go begging
for a government purchaser at $1,000 as
alleged. There are newspapers in the
country which would doubtless give that for
the first whack at the publication Of ii, and
curiosity hunters who would buy the manu-
scripts after they had been copied at a good
round sum.

An elopement and a $1,000 swindle, in
Volving rich widow OF - and man of 30,
have been brought To light, in Titlin, ohie.
Several wears ago Abraham Cromwell died
leaving his wife a fortune estimated at slon-
600, nearly all of it in rich Seneca county
farms Early last summer an oily, plausibly
talking man, calling himself Buckley, came
to riihn and did heavy business selling Bo-
hemian oats at s. bushel. By some means
he became acquainted with tho aged widow
and in a short time gained her complete
confidence, SO much So that she in-
trusted $1,000 to his keeping, and 1t
has cttectually disappeared. by some
strange change the woman's friends were
not aware of the proceedings until her money
was gone, the first intimatOn of the real
condition of affairs being discovered only ON
the announcement of the marriage OF the
couple, who eloped to Monroe Mich, where
! they were married.
They returned To Thin. where the aged
| wife now is, but the whereabouts Of Buckley
are unknown. 1t is learned that the old lady

affair produces a profound sensation, and

uses far fetched illustration that does not
illustrate. Neither the case of Postmaster
Marshall nor that Of his appointees comes
under the operation of the civil service law.
II does not apply to postmasters nor to let
ter carriers at offices where less than fifty
are employed.
But there is paragraph of Gov. Cleve-
land s letter that refers to such as they.
This is it:
Many lnow holding such positions have
forfeited all Just claim TO retention, because
they have used their places for party pur-
poses i'm disregard of their duty to the peo.
pie, and because, instead of being decent
public servants they have proved themselves
offensive partisans and unscrupulous manip-
ulators of local party management The les
sons of the past should I've unlearned, and
such officials, as well rs their SUCCESSORS,
should be taught that efficiency, fitness and
devotion to public duty are the conditions Of
their continuance in public place. and that
the quiet and unobtrusive exercise of indi
ual political rights Is the reasonable measure
of their party service.
If Postmaster Marshall and every othel
federal official in these parts had not FUSED
their places for party purposes" or hat
been content with the "quiet and unob
trusive exercise of individual politica
rights" they might take some consolation
from then president S proclaimed policy

sans, they must go--every man of them.

The share In Various Cities Bequeathed by Dr.
tamnaCk,
pr. William CammaCk, of Williamspo
for many years claimed to be the owner of a
great deal of property in Philadelphia and
other cities i'll the state and when he died a
few years ago he bequeathed this claim to his

prosecution. His claims were based upon
the fact that III 1S40 Thomas Hill, who died
intestate, was the owner of l23 acres OF land
in West Philadelphia, 3TT acres near Middle
town, Dauphin county, and 500 acres on the
Delaware river. The heirs-at-law of Thomas

THE COTTON CROP.
a Decreased Yield of 5,5SO,OOO Bales Indicated
for the Current Year.


The December report OF the department OF
agriculture indicates smaller yield of cotton
than the returns of condition in October. The
Otober average was "A against 6s in 1883 -
in the great harvest of 1882 and 60 in the dis
astrous season of 1851. The returns of condi-
ton in October and of product in December
have been unusually divergent this year.
The first indicated larger crop than last year
the latter product slightly less or about 9s
per cent The comparative decline is in the
states west Of Alabama The comparison
with last year is as follows: North Carolina,
lO0 South Carolina, l07 Georgia. l0I
Florida 1903; Alabama, l05 Mississippi, 9i 4;
Louisiana, 9s Texas, 50; Arkansas, 30; Ten
nessee, l0l.
Applying these percentages to the figures
of the crop of 1853, they indicate product of
3gs, 900 bales in North Carolina, $4,000 in
South Carolina, 100000 in Georgia, G0,0OO in
Florida, 66l, ,O00in Alabama, Si7. 900 in Missis-
sippi 10000 in Louisiana, 9a5,0 900 i'm Texas
$4,000 i'm Arkansas and 1900 in Tennessee.
The remaining territory will probably give
about so, 900 bales. This makes an aggregate
of 5,5s0,000 These figures are provisional
and may be slightly modified by future re-
turns 1t is possible that the general dis
appointment at the outcome of the middle
and top crop has made the December returns
unusally conservative. But il is certain the
rate of yield will be much below the
average.

Gov. BEeoLE, of Michigan, has written to
Detroit paper defending his course in
granting pardons apparently by the whole
sale, He says:
From my experience in our prisons, where
/ have devoted much time, / earnestly be
lieve that there are 200 men in our prisons
to-day in whose cases the ends of justice
would would he better served by their re-
lease. There are many young men serving
out sentences for no other crime than being
poor. There are rings in all the large towns
of our state that arrest, convict and send to
prison persons for no other reason than to
make business for constables, sheritfs and
Justices whom small sum of money would
release.
Intelligent and humane persons who have
given thoughtful attention to the subject will
be inclined to believe that the governor
knows what he is talking about Lancas-
trians need not go far from home to find
confirmation of il. In their own Jail they
can find men sentenced to three years at hard
labor for crime which is of little higher
grade than the sin of poverty. 1t hasn't been
many years since an offender who stole
$4,000 got off with lighter sentence in this
very court
