THERE were many good reasons
why farmers who had for quarter
of century voted the straight Re-
publican ticket should have voted
the Farmers Alliance, or Peoples
ticket at the late elections, but there
does not exist a single sensible rea-
son for expecting those Republicans
to follow the Southern wing Of the
National Farmers Alliance, which
dominated the recent Ocola conven-
ton, into the Democratic party. If
the Farmers Alliance is to become
merely an assistant Democratic or
ganization its usefulness will be as
completely destroyed as if it had
never existed. These words are
written after careful considera-
ton of the political status of the
Farmers Alliance and kindred or
CARNATIONS, and farmers should
hold a thoughtful conference with
themselves and see if we are not
correct about the matter.

THE Navy Of the United States
now ranks as sixth among the great
powers of the world, but if we can
keep up our present rate of prog
ress for few years more we shall
have, not only the greatest number
of fighting vessels. but the most eff
fective ships in the world. We
have the best of everything else
and we shall never be satisfied un-
til we have the best Navy.

IT is very evident that somebody

IT is very evident that somebody
ia seriously opposed to the calling
of a Constitutional Convention. 1t
appears now that the Supreme
Judges will not canvass the vote on
the Constitutional Convention ques-
ton because the present Constitu-
ton does not expressly stipulate
that they shall do SO. They can
vass the vote of all the State officers,
but, although it was evidently in
tended by the Constitution that
the Judges should canvass the vote
cast on such question, they refuse
to act and hold up a small techni-
cal point TO excuse their inaction.
The endes vor was made to knock
out the Convention question by de-
claring that it had not carried be-
cause it had not received a MAORI
ty Of the votes of all the voters in
the State instead of a majority of
the votes cast on the question. This
failed because the returns showed
that majority of all votes cast in
the State were for Convention.
When the Constitutional Conven-
ton meets there will probably be
some radical changes made and one
of these will be the abolishing Of
the Supreme Court. We do not
wish it understood that we for a
moment believe that the Supreme
Judges refused to act on this ac-
count, but it seems strange that
they should throw a stumbling
block in the way of the Convention,
which is the wish of the people, in
the shape of such a small technical
point az they have raised.

Mr.. ANDREW WILLIAMSON, a re-
tired London importer, who trav-
eled over the United..States last year
contributes to the London press
some corrections Of its general fall
lacies regarding the Mckinley Tar
if bill. Among other things he
says: In order to show the utter
fallscy contained in the Free-Trade
axiom that "there never was duty
that was not paid by the consum-
err" I shall give an instance which
occurred in my own experience
when at the head of a large import
ing house in Calcutta. In 1858 the
Indian Government raised the duty
on Manchester manufactures from
8 to 10 per cent. This did not af-
feet the market value, because it
led to no curtailment in the supply.
When, years afterward, the rate
was reduced to 5 per cent. again,
the market was not affected. Here
clearly was a case in which, as my
firm found to its cost, the importer
and not the consumer paid the duty.
To Americans our system, where
by we levy 100000 sterling a
year on such articles as we cannot
ourselves produce, while we admit
free what we can produce, seems
nothing short of suicidal madness
-an opinion fully shared by the
rest of the world, and rapidly gain
ing ground among themselves.

Two years ago the Legislature
made an appropriation Of 100000
for the purpose Ct building reser-
voirs in this State. Not q dollar of
the money has been expended for
the purpose for which it was appro-
priated. No reasons are assigned
that the public can hear of why the
money has not been put to some
use, except that the amount was not
sufficient to construct such irriga-
ton works as were necessary. There
is in Lyon county, on Walker river
a reservoir site that 100000 will
put into a condition that nearly
every acre of ground inl Mason Val
ley can be irrigated from. Itmight
be q good idea for the members of
the next Legislature, from this
county to demonstrate to the body
that the money could be used to
great advantage in this section.

SUGAR REFINING CASE.
Injunction Against the Removal of Prop
erty by the Trust Continued by the
New York Supreme Court.

Injunction Against tho Removal of Prop
erty by the Trust Continued by the
New York Supreme Court.
New YORK, July 19.-The General
Term of the Supreme Court has handed
down decision in the suit Of Henry
Winthrop Gray, the receiver of the
North River Sugar Refining Company,
against the DeCastro and Bonner Sugar
Refining Company for a dissolution of
that and all other companies com posing
the Sugar Trust. Gray obtained an in
junction restraining all the defendants
from in any manner disposing of prop
erty coming into their hands under the
trust agreement. The General Term
modified this injunction by simply re-
straining the North River Sugar Rein
ing Company from removing any prop
erty from this State, holding that the
receiver has no authority for acting in
the case of other companies.
The General Term says the probability
of removal of assets to another State
was sufficiently established to warrant
an injunction to protect the rights Of
the plaintiff as receiver of the North
River Refining Company, but there had
been nothing produced to show tn at this
prohibition should extend to all the eff
fects of the combination. Gray was
without authority to act for other mem
bers of the trust, but the North River
company's property should be kept in
this State pending litigation and so the
General Term continues and affirms the
injunction in this respect.

TRIED TO ROB A TRAIN.

Bold Work of Robbers Cincinnati,
Jackson g. Michigan Traiu--Wrecked by
Collision.
Fort WAYNE, Ind, July ia spe-
cial to the Journal from Van Vert, o.,
says: A bold attempt at train robbery
was made late last night on the Cincin-
natl, Jackson &c Michigan railroad.
Three men boarded the engine OF the
southbound passenger train at Enter
prise, o., and attacked engineer Van
dervender and his fireman with ham
mers and coupling pins, knocking both
senseless. They did not succeed in
stopping the train, however, probably
owing to the plucky fight made by the
trainmen, and jumped off before reach
ing Van Vert.
The engineer and fireman were both
lying senseless in the cab of the loco
motive and the train, which should
have stopped at Van Vert station,
rushed through the yard at the rate OF
twenty-five miles an hour. Here it col
lided with a switch engine and engineer
Vandevender was found dead in the
wreck. The fireman is still unconscious
and it can not be learned whether
the engineer was killed by the train
robbers or mot his death in the collis-
ion. None of the passengers were seri-
ously injured.

MYsTERlousLY MISSING.

Receiver of the Brooklyn Surface Rail-
road Disappears and No Trace of Him
Can be Found.
NEwBURaH, N. Y, July 21.-On
Thursday, July 3, Mrs. Frank Ward, nc
eompanied by her two children, left
their home in Brooklyn and came to
Newburgh to spend the Fourth with her
father, W. c. Johnst0n. When Mrs.
Ward left home 1t was with the under
standing that her husband was to como
here on the Sunday following, after
finishing up his Office work. His vaca-
tion was to commenc, N Monday, and
the Ward family was >, leave here on
that day for White Lfike.
Monday came but Mr.. Ward did not,
nor did he arrive on Tuesday. Mrs.
Ward received telegram on Monday
night from the mother of her husband
asking If he had come here as he had
not returned to his home. This alarmed
Mrs. Ward and she hastened back to
Brooklyn, and visited the Office of tho
Brooklyn surface railway, of which cor
poration her husband had recently been
appointed receiver. There she ascer-
tanned that her husband had worked at
his desk all day Sunday. Toward night
he bade the clerks goodbye and boarded
car bound for home. There all trace
of him ends. An examination Of his
books and accounts at the Office show
that every thing is correct and straight
so far as the railroad company is con-
cerned. Since Mr.. Ward was appointed
receiver he has been doing the work of
two men, and it is feared that overwork
has wrecked his mind, although he APP
peared to be in the best of spirits on the
day of his disappearance.

wife Horribly Burned by Her Husband
and His Paramour-The Husband Sui
cided When Arrested.
COLUMBIA, S. c., July 21.-One of the
most horrible crimes on record is re-
ported from Colleton County. The crime
was committed on Mary's Island, an un-
frequented spot in the county mem
toned. Paddy Grant lived there with
his wife, Phebe, and another woman
supposed to be too intima te with Grant
frequently visited his wife. Wednesday
last Grant informed the relations of his
wife that she had been severely hurt
the week before by the explosion of
kerosene lamp and was in bad condi-
tion. The relatives found her burned
from her knees up in front only, ter
ribly charred and speechless. Ske died
and an attempt was made to remove her.
No trace of oil could be found on the
floor or no traces of burning below the
knees of the woman. These and contra
dictory statements caused the arrest of
Grant, but he escaped from his guards.
Having been run to earth again he
requested permission to return to his
room for short while. Almost imme-
diately the report of gun was heard
and it was found that he had placed the
stomach and exploded it, blowing hole
clear through himself. 1t is thought
kerosene was poured over his wife by
himself and the other woman and that
she was then set on fire.

HERolSM SAVED LIVES.

A Reporter Prevents the Drowning of
Two Persons mt Alexandria Bay-The
Sinking of tho Yacht Catherine.
ALEXANDRIA BAY, N. Y, July 19.--
Robert II. Gere, a reporter on the Syra-
cuse Herald, who was one of the passen-
gers on the steamer st. Lawrence, which
sunk the yacht Catherine on Thursday
night, heroically saved the lives of Mr..
and Mrs. G. A. Berry as they were being
drawn under the steamer. Mr.. Gero,
seeing Mr. and Mrs. Berry hanging to
the rail, rushed through the office door
and breaking window grasped them
and pulled them on the steamer st.
Lawrence.
II. A. Thomson, who was an eye
witness, says: Hearing the bells rung
to reverse the engine, stepped to the
gangway to see whore we were. A steam
yacht, crushed and splintered, was slow
ly sinking. ran up on the main deck
and helped lower the boats, and then
assisted in throwing over life preservers.
In few moments six people were
lifted out of the lifeboats and prompt
assistance was rendered them. The
boats then went searching for the re-
mainder, and the search light was turned
on the scene to assist the crew of the
boats"
r. L. Edgett, one of the saved, says
that Captain Senecol is entirely to
blame for the accident, since he did not
obey properly the signals which were
given. Mr.. Edgett also states that he
placed life preservers on Mrs. Hart and
Miss Henry but did not see them after
ward. The Catherine sank in five min
