The rise in the prices of goods
under the operations of the new
tariff has been so rapid that the Re-
publican leaders are badly frighten-
ed, and the campign committee have
been forced to rush to the defense
of the new law in a circular denying
that the advance is due to its pro-
visions. They propose flooding the
country with these circulars; but the
man who is forced to pay the ad-
vance for his goods will not take
much stock in such denials. Besides
if the Republican tariff doesn't force
up prices, how is it to afford that
protection" to manufacturers of
whichwe have heard so much?

and discourage the present cam
paign of the Irish.

The revelations developed since
the assassination of chief of police
Hennesy in New Orleans recently
shows terrible state of affairs in
the Crescent city. The Italians have
a secret organization there and had
planned to murder other officers be-
sides the chief of police, a detailed
plan TO assassinate all the city Off
GERS and State officers who acted
contrary to the wishes of the Malta,
having been found in the residence
of one of the men arrested. A race
riot Is likely to be precipitated at
any moment and woe be unto the
Italians if it is. Eight hundred on
their way there, will not be allowed
to land unless they can show that
they are desirable citizens. A COM
mittee of fifty citizens have taken
the matter in hand and will be
backed by ample means to hunt
down the murderers of Hennesy
and bring them to justice.

Executive committee are assisting
the Republican ineligible, with
money to defeat him. If we are to
judge by the papers when they have
joint debates Mr.. Cain is walking
along over him easy enough, but if
he secures any kind of vote his
next dodge and only hope will be to
contest the election, and if the next

be seated, though he will come no

Asleep in that sacred bier.
Flowers shall bloom on that sacred tomb,
While the bright green grass shall wave
And tears are shed for the quiet dead
Who sleeps In our fathers grave.

As to the amount of water required
to make arid land productive it may
be said that tor the sandy soil OF
Egypt III inches have been found
sufficient; for the heavier soil of
India l9A inches are required, 164 OF
which are supplied BY irrigation.
The recurds at Santa F., New Mexico,
show lO.62 inches to be the average
rainfall during the period " hen <h~
crops need water. Making due al
