A traveller pictures the guano coast
of South America as the most desolate
region on earth. On one side of the
Pacific ocean, with its great swell swee-
ping almost around the globe, as regu-
lar and constant as the throbbing OF
the human pulse. On the other side
the impenetrable Andes rise in range
whose altitude averages $4,000 feet,
and whose peaks tower 10000 and
$4,000 feet above the sea. Between
the ocean and the mountains for 1000
miles, with q varying width from
twenty to fifty miles, lies a strip of
drifting sand with no river water and
where rain never falls. There is not a
well nor spring along the coast, and
drinking water is an article of mer-
chandise, like ice or -four, costing about
cents gallon to the consumer.

The cattle industry has reached a
wonderful development in this country with
in the last thirty years. In 1850 there were
in round numbers about l7,778, 900 head of
cattle in the United States. Ten years later
this number had been increased to %, 62O, O0O
In 1870 there was a slight falling off, the
number counted being only $500, 900. The
loss was more than made good, however, in
1880. when there were found to be IN the
country not less than 81, 925 900 head of cat
tie. Commissioner Colman estimates that to-
day tina lumber is not far from $4,000, 900.
1t is difficult to appreciate the vast accumu-
lation which this figure represents. The
Commissioner says that if column should

resting at New York City, its centre encir-
cling San Francisco and its other arm reach.

contain about the number which now forms
the basis of the cattle industry Of the Uuited
States. The value of these animals would
not be less than 81 200, 100000.

In some States some of the most enter
prising cities and towns are organizing
boards of trade and other commercial as
sociations, the object being to increase
manufacturing and other business interests
in their respective neighborhoods. These
bodies, by procuring free bnilding sites,
exemption from taxation for limited peri
DDS, and in some cases, pledging certain
bonus of capital, have. in many instances,
secured the establishment of large manu-
featuring enterprises in their communities,
which have added greatly to the general
prosperity.

The season of navigation on the Great
Lakes for 1885. which has now practically
closed. will pass into history as one of the
most disastrous known. The wrecks have
been more numerous and the losses great
or than in any one year, with the single
exception of 1888. the worst known year
to marine men. Sixty vessels have been
lost this year. involving destruction of
$1,0l6,20 in property. Twenty-Five of
these were steam vessels. and thirty EIGHT
were sailing vessels. Saddest of all is the
fact that seventyfour lives were sacrificed
with the wrecks. Forty.eight OF these
deaths were the result OF the Algoma dis
aster on November T. Nearly halt OF the
losses occurred on Lake Michigan. but it
must be remembered that there is about
as much commerce on this lake as on all
the others combined.

The new republican weekly, of Boston,
The State, has now for its editor. General
John l.. Swift. the eloquent speaker upon
political topics to whom many Maine
audiences have listened with pleasure.
In speech before the Middlesex Club.
Nov. 2Sth. Mr.. Swift defined the policy
which he thought should govern the re-
publicans. In that he said:
l follow the Republican banner because
under 1t march those whose headquarters are
to be found in the households that bless, rath-
er than in the saloons which curse, this land.
The 100000 liquor shops of America are
10000 democratic headquarters, and more
than aught else they debsuch our politics.
am republican because l prefer the home
to foreign market; because believe more
in the factory and foundry than in the import
ing house. and because hold to the Ameri-
can rather than the European scale Of wages
for labor. am republican because its his
tory is insepsrable from, all that makes the
citizen confident and the patriot hopeful.
The future 10 big with events. Looking be-
yond to-day the weight of evidence is conclu-
sive that republicanism can alone bring har-
mony out Of the coming democratic chaos,
Republicanism alone is capable of perfecting
honest and thorough civil service reform
alone able to adjust income to outgo without
sacrificing American interests; and is the
only way likely to correct the sole remaining
defect in our currency. Believing that the
defeat Of the republican party has proved. and
will continue to prove a national disaster !;
and firmly convinced that republican success
would be the hsrbinger of national prosperi-
~ and glory, for one, am resolved, in or
out of Office, in sunshine or in storm. to stand
fast by the republican colors borne in 1860 by
Abraham Lincoln, in 1868 by Ulysses S.
Grant, and in 1884 by james G. Blaine.
