Tired of Statehood.

Nevada WIS erected into state and ad.
mitted TO sisterhoOd merely to increase The
Republican strength in the Senate. Its pop.
ulation has dwindled 10 very insignificant
numbers, and the state government is SO
burdensome that an eifor, is being made by
the citizens to have the state reduced to a
territory and placed under government shelter
and expense orto have 1t aunexedto some 9th
er state. 1t has been rotton borough for some
years. The California millionaires, who hold
a legal residence in Nevada, bat live in Cali.
fornia, have paid the expenses of people to
get them to go to the Legislature in order to
keep up the government and secure seats for
themselves in the United States Senate. And
the Senatorships from that state nearly ever
since its organization have been purchased.
The politicians, however, win not permit
eiter annexation or the reduction to terri
tory. Two seats in the Senate and one in
the House will not be allowed to pass away, nor
viii the would be governors and others who
are ambitious for the place within state
consent to change, and these will be power
fuI enough to prevent it.

The City of Kumamato Destroyed by
Earthquake.

YoKoHAMA, July 30.--A dispatch received
today from Nagasaki states that q dreadful
earthquake has occurred in the western por-
ton Of the island Of kiou Siou. The city Of
Kumamato was destroyed. A great number
of people persisted. A vast amount Of prop
erty was also destroyed.
kumamato which has been destroyed by
the earthquake, is city of A., OOinhabitants,
situated in the centre of the island of Kiou
Siou, on the Gulf Of Simabara.
The island of Kiou Siou is the southern
most of the three principal islands of Japan.
1t is separated from Corea by the Strait Of
Corea, and from Houdo, the largest Of the
Japanese groups, by the Strait of Shikoku.
The island has an area of 10, 500 square miles,
or about one-third that of Pennsylvania, and
its population is about 6, 600, 600. The island,
like all those in the Japanese group, is
mountainous one, the chain OF active volcanoes
which starts at the north end of the island of
Yezo extending clear to the southern extrem-
ity of Kiou Siou.

If contemplated programs are carried out
the four hundredth anniversary of the discov-
cry Of America will be well celebrated. ORR
ginally it was intended to hold mammoth
worlds fair in Washington in honor of the
event, by which the progress of the four cen
turtles could be shown and illustrated. Con-
eress was to take hand in this, and aid the
fair by liberal appropriations. New York
then came into the field, and wants the fair
held there, as the great commercial metro
polls. In fact committee has been organic
ed and is at work on the matter. Then Chi
cago wanted to have the fair there, and St.
Louis put in bid, as the most central point.
The press are having war of words as to the
best point for the fair,-and in the meantime
Boston has concluded to have New England
fair. II looks like the various cities are more
interested in having an attraction that will
draw large crowds and making money, than
in any desire to really celebrate the discovery
of America.

The Growing Surplus.

The surplus is still piling upin the treasury,
Notwithstanding attempts to check it by buy
ing unmatured bonds at high premium, and
the extravaganza of Corporal Tanner. The
receipts from internal taxation for the year
ended June 80 were SIS, SOC, 600 greater than
the year previous, and the tariff tax was some
what greater. The collecting Of taxes beyond
the necessities of government is unconstitu-
tional and robbery, but it will continue until
the people awake TO the condition of affairs
and vote for reduction. A reduction in
tarifftaxes will result in the wrecking of trusts,
who now are fleeing the people in the mat
ter Of sugar. salt, Irvine, candles, medicines,
&c, &c. If farmers are content to raise
wheat at so cents per bushel and allow them
selves to be taxed beyond the needs of gov
eminent, and to be feeced by trusts, cOmbi-
nations, pools aud manufacturers, they ought
to be burdened. The remedy is in their own
hands; they can submit or not, just as they
choose

Another Standard Scheme.

dispatch from Franklin, Pa, says
s1From reports circulated in this city it would
seem that the Standard Oil Company is
branching out in an entirely new direction,
and now has corner on the wax candle in
dustry of the country. Having bought out
or induced to quit the business all the manu-
facturers Of wax candles, the Standard is now
practically without opposition, and it is ru-
mored they will at once advance the prices of
candles aud other commodities Wax manu-
featured from petroleum is used in their pro-
duetion, and it is even intimated that the
price of chewing gum will be advanced. The
Standard has stored away in their works in
this city from 5000 to 10000 barrels of wax,
which they are ready to put on the market as
soon as the prices reach their figures.
