A survivors Account.

"Everything was working nicely. The weather was fine, the moon shone bright and the sea was smooth. It was about o'clock when Was on deck and took few turns back and forth while smoking an after-dinner cigarette. I didn't see any vessel near us. The ship was in charge of the first officer, who was on the bridge. went down to the saloon then, and there met Mrs. Calvo. We sat do VII and began talking. Suddenly, I heard the gong in the engine room ring the stop signal. Be- fore could even wonder what it was for, there came an awful shock, 6 crashing, scraping sound on the deck over our heads, and the steamer rolled over on her port side.
 "Every body in the saloon was thrown down. All was excitsment-msn, women and children shrieking for help.

A Terrible Scene.

"Mrs. Calvo seized my hands and begged me to find and save her boy. told her would. I started up to the deck to find him. When got to the companionway, a terrible scene met m y eyes. The bridge, deck house and fore rigging were all torn away, there was Q great gssh in the starboard side just absft the coal bunkers, and through this opening the water was pouring in. Close by on our starboard side beam was Q big four-masted schooner, her bowsprit and fore-rigging gone and her bow stove in. She too, was filling rapidly. Men were running here and there all over our decks, shouting all kinds of orders, and I can remelnb Der seeing tho crew of the schooner doing the same thing on their vessel.
Waterbury evening Democrat., 1890-11-01
A Night of Suffering.

''One of the men on the yard said that while climbing the rigging he had seen a boat lowered from the schooner and seven men get in and row away. We looked all around but couldn't see anything. Then, in hope of attracting the attention from some passing vessel or some one on the shore (we were only six miles off the coastl, we out the tarred ropes on the yard into pieces 6 foot or two long, and lighting these, waved them in the air as long as they lasted, But no one came to our aid, and all through the long night we clung to that yard, growing colder and stiffer as each hour passed Toward daybreak cold fog settled on us and made matters worse.
 ''When ons of the men on the yard said he thought he heard a steamer passing by. we all hAlloed as loud Aa our numb dondition would permit ua to. Then boat made it's appearance and we were taken on board the Hum boldt. We could not have held out much longer"
Waterbury evening Democrat., 1890-11-01
Sinking of the Vessels.

"The next thing I knew the water was making over our decks. The steamer was fast sinking. With @ wild idea of saving ourselves, several of the crew and myself scrambled up the port fore-rigging. Down, down went the steamer and up we climbed. We reached the fore-gsllant yard, and just then the hull reached the bottom. of our crew had tried to reach the schooner, but she had sunk almost as quickly as had the Vizcaya and 6s far as we could sec not a soul but oursel yes was in sight.

OUR NAVY.

When trouble was threatened in Sa
moa and the best of our navy was hur,
ried there year or two ago, although
we all tried 10 be as patriotic as possible,
we felt that the show we made with our
antique wooden vessels, along side Of the
steel vessels Of the Germans was not inn
posing.
But conditions have changed since
then and our navy today presents a far
different array of vessels than it was
thought possible for us TO produce,
In the Baltimore, Philadelphia and
San Francisco we have the three finest
cruisers afoat, while, in addition, the
Charleston and Chicago, new vessels,
compare fairly well with any other YES
sells of their class.
The new navy alone furnishes us with
some ten excellent war vessels Of mod
ern construction and with the Maine,
soon to be completed, we will have more
than a nucleus of navy, for we will
then possess a small but an efficient one,
and one that none but the most powerful
maritime nations could afford to ignore.

TIE ALLIANCE PARTY.

Our dispatches yesterday from Ocala,
Florida. seem to indicate that the ALI
ance is making trend in the direction
of organizing as political party under
the guidance of the Powderlys, Trave-
locks, Williams and other union labor
leaders. The Alliance is thus making a
grave mistake. As an organization in
the interest of the producing classes its
power would prove almost Unlimited as
it would be immediate and effective
As balance of power they would but
have to express a reasonable wish to
have it fulfilled at the hands of what
ever party might be in power. For in
stance the men whom they elected to
the Kansas legislature this fall need but
ask anything within reason as it will be
granted by the Republican senate and
endorsed by the governor. AS an indie
pendent or distinct political party or
ganization it will be a struggle with
those of the survival of the fittest dur
ing which the recurrence of prosperous
time alone would defeat them.

RESULTS OF LOW WAGES.
From the Atlanta Constitution.

From the Atlanta Constitution.
In England the classes have always
| kept the masses under. 1t Is a country
of low wages, and the average working
man is born in poverty and never gets
out of it.
These figures from Gen. Booths book
will show the results of a mistaken eco
nOmic system. In England there are
200, 600 criminals, and $4,000 Juvenile
! thieves.
There are 10O. 900 fallen women, and
500, 900 drunkards.
The annual cost of liquors is $780,
| 900, 600.
Suicides last year numbered 1927, and
2,157 were found dead.
| Last year 10000 children died from
violence or neglect.
Over 100000 perople are absolutely
homeless, and 100, 900 are out of work.
The warehouses shelter 1870, 900, and
5000, 600 people outside are so wretchedly
poor that they are hardly civilized.
Heretofore it has been believed that
much of this misery and poverty was
caused by liquor and crime. The new
theory is that misery and poverty drive
people into crime and intemperance.
The active cause of all this is low wa
ges. Life in England to the favored few
who tread the primrose path is one long
holiday. But the toiling millions have
to foot the bills in one way or another.
They are ground down in the mire, and
are paid so little for their work that a
laborer is fortunate if he can afford meat
on his table once a week. A Sunday
suit of clothes is an impossibility. De
spair makes these people unthrifty, and
drives them to seek forgetfulness in
drink. Bolder spirits join the army of
criminals. Others helplessly drift into
vagrancy.
1t is bad economic system that is re-
sponsible for these evils. Good wages
lessen both poverty and crime. They
enable working men to rise in the social
scale, and save enough for a rainy day.
Nor do the capitalists lose anything. The
money paid to the working classes i'm
mediately gets into circulation, stimu-
lates business and adds to the general
prosperity.
In countries like England where the
ruling classes make it their policy to
keep the masses on the verge of starva-
ton there is always danger of a social
revolution. Men will not long remain
peaceful and law-abiding citizens if they
cannot get what their labor is worth.

COUNTIES HELD TO PAY.

Some years ago bonds were issued by
Lyon county, Ky, for the construction
of the Elizabethtown and Paducah rail
road. The county afterwards repudiat-
ed these bonds and refused to pay inter-
est upon them. In the case of Quinlin
VS.. Lyon county, Judge Jackson of the
United States circuit court for the mid
die district of Tennessee has held the
county liable for the payment of the
bonds in question, and in view of the lit
igation which has been had over the liza
bilities of the tax payers of the county,
he said that should the county judge
fail or refuse to assess and collect taxes
for the payment of these bonds, the Fed
eral court in Kentucky shall appoint a
commission to make and report such
assessments and names of tax payers
and issue execution upon the property of
Lyon county tax payers for the collec-
ton of the taxes.
Several other counties traversed by
the road named are in the same attitude
towards it, and the Lyon county case
was made a sort of test case. Several
other counties that voted and issued
bonds to the road settled the question
with the company on a compromise basis
and have largely reduced the debt.
