Floods Tn weEieo,

The destruction oflife and property
 wrought by the floods along the llne of the Mexican Central railroad is ap- palling. For ten days rain fell in torrents on the table-land5 between the city o( liexiee and Zacatecas, and for a distance of POO miles along the railroad every rIyulet was converted into a torrent Valleys were flooded and many cities and towns were in undated At Silao the river oyertlowed it's banks and tho volume of water swept through tue streets with irri- sistible force, destroying about 325 adobe houses. At Leon p miles from Silao a similar disaster occurred with more terrible results. The river rose rapidly and inunda sed the city during the night. Houses tumbled in rapid successor, and the terror stricken in- mates bewildered and having nc chance to escape, were buried beneath the falling walls. Many of those whc escaped into the streets were drowned in the angry waters. This state of af. fairs continued for three days with an incsssant down-pour of rain. Then the waters began to rseede aud the extent of the loss to life and property could be approxlmated. It Is estima' ted that 700 persons perishsd, 2224 houses were destroyed, and that the losses will reach $2,000,000.

Trade of south America.

Among the recent consular report, issued by the State Department is sn able paper on the above subject, by John E. Bacon, U, s. Consul at Monte
 Yidso, from which we make the fol. lowing abstracts:
 The unusual and energetic efforts on the part of Spain to recover the trade of her palmy days with South Amsri- ca, as also with the West Indies, Mex leo, etc, are attracting great attention here, and are much commented upon in mercantile and diplomatic circles. Not lsss 80 are the efforts, still more energetic and successful, on the part of Germany to secure her share of the $700,000,0 900 of annual com merce tex, ports and imports) of tho twenty American Indias," In connection with these efforts comes the query, Why is the United States, especially so far as South America proper is com cerned, so lacking in energy?
 The countries south of the United States, consisting of the emplrs of Brazil, four European colonies, and fifteen republics, consist of over 40,- 100000 people and have an aggregate area of over S, 8,500,000 square miles "a population almost equal and an area double that of the United States.
 It's evident ihis South American trade is worth having, and deserves a serious struggle, and, as above intim- atedi the besl evidence of it's value is shown by the continued and energetic efforts on the part of the great mari time powers to control 1t. It IS also evident that the United States, if sue will make serlous effort, exhibit half the energy, and invest one-fourth the money thae these countries dc, can SC. cure the better part thereof.

Speculation as 70 ,he Prohibition Vote

In several Northern States tho Pro- hibition vote last year for State officers was smaller than that cast at the pre- ceding elections Tn the sarne States for the same posts. In each of the two Northern States which held elections this year like falling of Tn the vote of that party was shown. In Rhsde Island in April last the Prohibition candidate fer governor obtained only 1 ,336 votes, although he received 2,585 in 1887. An even greater decline Is shown in Oregon, where the vote of that organization h the contest a week ago is put at about 1000, the official figures not being at hand yet. At the election two years ago the Ore gon Prohibitlenists boiled 2,775 votes. In each State the Prohibition leaders predicted that ths years vote would be twice as high as it was in the pre- cedlng election. This is one of the reasons why the boasts of the Prohi- bitionists are not frightening any Re- publicans just now.-Globe- Democrat.

The Copper sltuasIea.
Engineering and Mining Journal.l

Engineering and Mining Journal
 The vast increase in the demand fol
 copper for electrical purposes is likely
 to more than compensate any reduc'
 tion in other uses, in this country al
 least, nor is the present prlce of cop. per so high as to greatly lessen con sumption in any direction, though we
 believe it to be too high for the inter. ests of ths Societe itself. Sixteen cents was not tormerly regarded as a high price. Consumption increased on both sides the Atlantic under such prices when copper was even less es Sential than it now is, te certain branches of trade; and we cannot therefore suppose that the same p1es should now paralyze consumption as completely as the copper bears pre- tend. There is, however, a point where prices will react very ssnsibly on consumption. Whether that point be sixteen cents, or more or less, the near future will show, for the methods of the European manufacturers can uet much longer disguise the real de- mands of the consumer.
 That our copper miners are profit ing immensely by the hIgh prices now ruling and the certainty of getting remuneratiye figures fer the next tive years is unquestionable, nor dc cur manufacturers object to high prices if they can be assured of their perma- neney. It is equally true that to the consumers of copper ln several de- parLments of industry tn, advance in price is of little moment; in other de. partments, however the increase in price will certainly restrict consump- tloa.
 That tue copper miners gre entitled O a nr,.,, s' "Dsn their investment does lot appear to occur to av~. sf the rities of the Societe. The basls of az ents pound for Lake copper is prob .bly as low a price as wlIi allow fair profit to such a number of mires as an supply the worlds requirements, ,nd VIC are convinced that the inter- .sts of the copper syndicate, or rather # ths Sociot des Meteaux, will be est served by keeping the copper market as low as the contracts entered nto will permit. Instead of adyan- ing from 163 cents, it would be bet CT to reduce the price gradually until i [ no longer offers great premium or the opening of new mines
 We cannot share the views of those who look for an early collapse of the iyndicate. The sales which all eur mines have made are guaranteed by i thoroughly responsible banking hous sS, and even should the Societe be overwhelmed, which IS quite impreb 1 lble, these banks would take the cop per to the end of the three years, ae- ,ording to their guarantee. The cop. per market rests therefore on a foun- dation very different from and infinite Iy more secure than the tin market, whose late decline has encouraged the bears.

A prominent Democratic contem- perary says: "The election this year will turn upon principle, not upon persons or personalities. Ideas, and not idiosyncrasies, will interest and divide the voters" That IS a predio- ten which respectable men of both the great parties will hope may be strictly fulfilled. Nothing could be much more regretted than campaign similar to that of 1884, which turned almost wholly upon parsons, and the chief weapons Of arguments of which were personalities.
