That is not the Records solution.
Congress can wipe out the sugar

Not satisfied with owning our
breweries, flour mills and ranches
the greedy Englishmen are now after
the cotton mills of New England, be-
ginning with Fall River. The syndi-
cate is operating through a Fall
River adventurer and the whole
scheme is considered huge joke by
the mill treasurers. The syndicate is
acting in good faith and has sent a
circular1etter to the director of every
prominent cotton mill in Massachu-
sets and other states The plan is
as impracticable as it is undesirable.

CREATING AN ARIsTOCRACY.

The fact that about thirty million
acres of land in this country is owned
by English syndicates, and that fac
tories, breweries, mines, etc, are be-
ing bought and owned by the same
capital, forebodes no good to Ameri-
ca or its humber citizenship. The
tendency of things is already too
much in the way of having a number
of millionaires, a middle class of pro-
fessional men, but the great mass of
people laborers who must ever be the
willing or unwilling tools of the rich.
1t will be a sorry day for this coun-
try when the sovereignty of the peo-
pie is absorbed by the money of the
millionaires, and therefore the best
way to keep our liberties is for every
American citizen to own a portion of
her territory

Up tn . Balloon.

An association has been formed in Boston under the auspices of some oi the leading business and scientific peo- pie, to be known as the Aerial associa. ton. The object is to assist Dr. F. De- boussett to construct steel air ships on the vacuum principle. The ship is to be constructed entirely of thin steel plates of the strongest possible tensile strength, and is to be thoroughly braced inside by means of 2 new development in machines. This is to resist the stress of pressure of the machinery when s partial vacuum is obtained. It is ex- pected to lift POO passengers and fifty tons of mail or other matter, and also to carry all the machinery and apparatus, with electrical power sufficient To give to the ship a speed of at least seventy miles an hour. Dr. Debeussett has ap- piled for permission to build a ship at the Charleston navy yard. The cost is expected to be $a5o, 900. Dr. Debousset claims his plans are approved by the most eminent scientists. and engineering experts in this country.

Cogn.eOo Carp.

"Mose" Langley, of Kirkland valley
 has the best arranged carp pond in Arizona. It Is fed from never failing spring, which furnishes several hundred
 miners inches of pure, clear and cool water the entire year. Instead of the bottom of the pond, or lake, heinz cov- cred with mud, in which the carp can
 burrow, as is their natural custom, it is
 covered with sand. MT. Langly also discoursges them from this practice of
 burrowing in the mud, by feeding them
 as regularly as he would his chickens
 or domestic animals. The feed con-
 sists of dry, hard corn, cabbage and
 other vegetables. In one end of the
 pond he has an enclosure in which the
 largest and best fish are kept and regu.
 lar ly fed on corn, and from which he
 obtains his supply for the table. Keep
 ing and feeding them in this way his
 fish are all large and plump, and when
 killed the meat is found to be perfectly solid and firm, instead of soft and
 fiAbby, as has been the case with all
 these fish brought to market in Pres colt, while the flavor is said to equal almost that of any mountain trout. hr. Langley says he has fed two tons of corn to them during the past year. It is thrown into the pond on the cob, and the grains are soon stripped of by them. He also says that he has killed them within half an hour after being led, and found the corn in their stom- achs thoroughly grouad up as fine as it would be found in the stomach of hog.

A new law in Minnesota requires all executions to be held between one and four o'clock .. m.. and prohibits news papers from publishing more than sim pie announcement of the event. The first execution under the law was at Lit. tie Falls on the I9th instant. the victim being Albert Bulow. Notwithstanding the prohibitory law to the contrary. all the Minneapolis and St Paul papers contain full details of the execution. They probably will be prosecuted. The crime for which Bulow suffered death was the murder, November 73d, oi Frank Eich, in a dispute over wages Eich owed him.
