The Richmond Wing (Dem.) serves
notice upon the iptolerant "tariff reform
ers" who are clamoring to have protection
lists read out of the Democratic party that
without the aid of protection Democrats
the party could not carry half enough
States to elect a President, but would be
beaten in Virginia by $4,000 to $4,000 ma
jority and would be in a hopeless minority
in every Northern State and in many
Southern.
Members of the Swedish churches and
temperance societies in Worcester have
adopted resolutions declaring their faith in
the Republican party, and announcing that
- long as the City Government respects
the Scandinavian sentiment by not grant
ing any liquor license to member of that
race they will stand as true Temperance
Republicans. This frank statement de-
serves the careful consideration of the
Worcester Republican City Council.

WHY Now Mexico 10 Democratic

According to II correspondent of the
New York Tribune, New Mexico is an odd
corner of this great country, and a
visitor to the Territory might stay there
long time before realizing that he was
In a part of the United States. Though
American political institutions are per-
force in vogue there the American Ian
guagc still appears to be a stranger, for
this correspondent says:
You do not vote in English but in
Spanish You do not vote the Republican
ticket you vote the Boleta Republican,.
You do not vote the Democratic ticket but
the Boleta Democratca. Your vote is re-
corded in Spanish on the poll books not for
delegate to Congress but for delegate al
Congresso," and the given name of the
candidate is changed, if it be American, into
its Spanish equivalent. No one in New
Mexico at the last election voted for Mr..
Antony Joseph, the present delegate to
Congress; for in this case both names were
changed, and his constituents voted for
Antonio jose"
II is evident that the process of Ameri-
canning New Mexico has made exceed
iugly small progress, when even in the
Territorial elections foreign tongue is
exclusively employed.

started here go laundering down over snow banks for thousands of feet, until they are lost to both sight and hearing. The west side is less steep, and here both the trail and carriage road find their way by zigzags to the summit.
 The view from the peak is grand and im- pressive, but you are too high up and too far away to get the effects of landscape scenery that are to be met with in places of far less elevation. Here one Is impressed with the magnitude of the surroundings To the eastward the great plains extend without apA parent limit, while far away on the west are piled up mountains upon mountains, with many snow-capped peaks, while to the north and south the dividing line between the mountains and the plains can be traced to the limit of vision.
 While the ascent of the peak is fatiguing and is seldom made in less than six hours, yet 1t is always interesting, as new scenes are constantly opening up before us, and be- sides nature has furnished an abundant sup- ply of ice water st frequent intervals This water, coming directly from the snow banks, is as pure as one could desire A small run. ming stream of this ice water was noticed within one hundred and fifty yards of this Signal Service station, and where the surface rocks were removed in grading the new road ice could be seen in inexhaustible quantities.
 We hear much about persons suffering from difficulty in breathing and bleeding at the nose while at such heights, but others do not experience any inconvenience. The pulse is generally quickened, however, and Is usually about that of fever patient.
 The Signal Service here will be abandoned in October, as it is very exposing for the men, and the advantages to be derived from it are not of sufficient value to warrant it's continuance. The winters are long and se were. Last winter the men were showed in for three months, the snow being thirty feet deep, completely burying the station, but they always lay in supplies for such emer- gencies.

years, was with her. Among other things placed on the deck for the accommodation of the Queen was costly and very splendid sofa ornamented with tassels; and the Prince like other boys of that age, being of de- structive turn, began to pull at one in 8 manner that threatened to detach it. His mother observed the act, and ordered him to desist. He did so, but as soon as her back was turned seized the tassel again to give another jerk. The Queen appeared to have expected something of the kind, for she was at that moment watching him from the corner of her eye. In an instant she turned, and seizing the luckless heir appar- ent of England by the "scruff of the neck, :" elevated one of her feet upon the sofa, hoisted the youngster over her knee, adjusted him in the position mutually familiar to parents and children generally, when such ceremonies are to be performed, and gave him sound spanking.

The explosion recalled the royal mother to 8 sense of her position, and, having turned toward the crowd for a moment her face suHused with crimson, she hastily descended into the cabin, and was seen no more by the expeotant popu- lace

TWO INTERESTING OPINIONS

TWO INTERESTING OPINIONS.
 MT. Bear, an English writer, maintains that the low water mark has been touched in the prices at which wheat can be sold in England, and says that at current prices that is, at thirty-two shillings quarter-it does not pay the American farmers to grow wheat for the English market. He brings certain statistical statements to support him in his assertion that there is every reason to believe that wheat cannot be pro6tsbly sent into the English market from abroad at a lower price than forty shillings, and that the wheat which has lately been supplied at a cheaper rate is really grown at a loss.
 MT. Edward Atkinson, of Boston. does not take the same view of this matter that MT Bear does. He believes that, looking toward the Northwest alone for the source of grain, it would be possible fer the American farm CTS to proftably carry on the business of wheat growing, even if they could obtain no more than twenty eight shillings 8 quarter for their grain in the English market. In the last number of Bradstreet's Nr. Atkinson publishes some letters which he has received from wheat growers in California, that not only sustain what he has said, but carry the matter to still more extreme conclusions. These show that the California wheat grower can sell wheat in the English market without loss to himself for seventeen shillings quar- ter, including all the charges for labor, ma terisls. freight, wear and tear, depreciation of machinery and interest on the investment of capital in this branch of industay. One of these farmers, MT. G. S. Berry of Visslia, California, says-that with the agricultural machinery he uses, by working as he does, two gangs of men day and night, he can plough and seed seventy acres day, at cost per acre of ffty-nine cents, this being the ac- tual cost of sowing grain, including plough ing and narrowing. He can harvest fifty acres of grain day at an average expense of seventy cents per acre, the machine em- ployed cutting, thrashing, cleaning and sack ing the crop as it goes on. He states that he has built and started another machine, by the use of which he expects to reduce the cost of production by ct least 15 per cent. This machine cuts a swath forty feet wide and has capacity of eighty acres per day.
 It is pretty evident from this that the Eng fish farmer will not soon cease to be affected by the competition of the American wheat grower. Mr. Bear isn't as much of a bear on the price of wheat as his name might indi- cate and the facts would warrant him in be-

 Her Majesty, accompanied by the Prince Consort and the royal children, visited Scot land for the first time, and tarried a long time on her way to Balmoral. On the trip the yacht, in which the party travelled by water, called at Aberdeen, and, of course, the loyal inhabitants of that city turned out in large numbers to do honor to their be- loved sovereign. A guard of honor, consist ing of the merchants of the place, was formed, and, in all the glory of black broad cloth and white kids, paraded on the edge of the dock to which the vessel moored at just sufficient distance to prevent people from stepping on board. Seats were erected on the bank, tier above tier, like those of cir- cus to accommodate the thousands that as- sembled to gaze on the spectacle Of an an ointed Queen.

 In an address recently delivered by Pros lessor Ayrton in London the statement was made that it was possible that the result of certain experiments now being tried would increase the working power of ten of coal to eight times it's present value, the energy it contained being converted directly into elec- trio energy without the intervention of 8 wasteful heat engine. If such an invention
 can be made it will quickly revolutionize the
