Hockiug valley.

The Industrial situation in the
Hooking Valley has again assumed
a gloomy hue. Business there is
at a lower cbb than it was in 1884,
when Blaine entered the region in
handsome palace car and told the
starving laborcrs and miners that
their only hope for work and saliva
tion was through electing the Re
publican ticket, which his name
headed He was not elected. but
strange to say, the election of his
opponent gave peace, plenty and
prosperity to che working people
of the Hooking Valley. Four years
later, the same people, enjoying the
sweet fruits of Democratic National
rule, were again told by tho politi-
clans of Mr.. Blaine's party that un-
less they elected the same ticket
that Mr.. Blaine was then advocat-
ing through the Northwest, their
work would stop, and they and their
families would starve; that Grover
Cleveland's election meant ruin,
disaster, and horrible ills, while the
election OF Benjamin Harrison in
deed, meant a land deluged with
with "wine and oil. In tho Hook
ing Valley there are nine blast fur
naces. All of these except two are
out of blast, and those two are get
ting ready to shutdown. The coal
mines, too, which in that region
give employment to multitudes,
have mainly ceased operations while
those continued to be worked are
operated only day or two in a
week. Assignments among bust
ness mon dependent upon the trade
maintained by the Industries of that
section arc numerous. and the pros
poet is that more will follow. In
the district in which this unpieas-
ant outlook is afforded, there are
fully Ave thousand workmen who
will be thrown out of employment,
and many of them with families to
care for Sir. Harrison was elected,
and is now President.-K Kanaeha

The following sentence, said to be
taken verbatim from law recently

sound, so far as officers of the law
are concerned:

son to fire off OF discharge any pis-
tol, revolver, shot gun, rife or any
fire arms whatsoever on any public
road or highway in any county in

yards of such public road or high

The Philadelphia Record, discuss,
ing the sugar trust, says: In Eng
land the price of sugar is three
cents pound less than in this
country. Under the precious tan
iffi system the duty on refined sugar
is SO high that the sugar trust can
run the price up at will without in
curing any risk of foreign compc-
tition. A feM years ago there was
a large export trade in refined SUI
gar, and the sugar of this country
WAS sold in considerable quantities
in England in competition with the
beet-root products of the Continent.
But the membcrs of the sugar trust
concluded to abandon the foreign
trade and to compel American con-
sumers to pay more for smaller
quantity of production. This they
are enabled easily TO. do behind the
tariff wall. In order, therefore, to
enjoy all other like advantages and
.blessingsof the tariff system, Amor
ican consumers must pay for one of
the commonest nccessarics of Ito
just what the sugar trust may dc.

Death.
CHICAGO, Aug. 18.-Mr. and Mrs, Carlson
were brought TO the Jail yesterday morning
and conducted TO the door Of Burke's cell.
When the old couple paused at the cell door
Burke looked inquiringly at them, and II he
felt surprise or any other emotion he did not
manifest It, The Carlsons took good look
at the prisoner, neither party to the identi-
hcation uttering word. The Carlsons were
then taken to the States Attorneys office,
where they both declared positively that
The man whom they had Just seen In the
Jail was Frank Williams" their tenant Of

LONDON, Aug. 18.-According to the Ma

have positive information on the subject,
the agreement reached at the recent confer.
ence between Emperor William and Lord
Salisbury 10 all intents and purposes
amounts to an alliance between Germany
and England. Although no formal treaty
was concluded memorandum was drawn
up covering the points upon which an un.

this memorandum provides for the conting.

become involved, and defines the obligations
assumed In such an event by the other.
The French press is In perfect ferment
over this whole business, and the opposition
papers charge the government with having
driven England into the arms Of Germany
by their foolish policy Of irritating her, no
tably in the refusal to sanction the ERyp-
tian conversion scheme, upon which Eng
