MR. MILLS AND THE ALLIANCE.-Reprs-
sentative Mills has answered the letter of
the Farmers Alliance. of Milan county, Tex
as, asking him to favor the establishment Of
government warehouses for the storage of
agricultural products and issus upon them
treasury notes to the extent of so per cent.
of the value of the products. He Gays when
the government begins TO take charge OF
cotton, wheat, cnrn. oats and tc5acco, 1t will
go Oh, and in time bacon, pork, beef, butter,
cheese, lard, hay and all other farm products
will demand the government to take their
surplus aud advance them so per cent. on 1t.
He adds that the only way In which the
farmer can be helped is By the SUCCESS of the
tariff reform for which Cleveland fought and
fell. Regretfully he declines to support the
Alliance proposition. Concluding. he says:
81 am too old to change the convictions Of

A Monster Piece Of Granite.

Vinalhaven, Maine, claims to have
produced the largest stone ever brought
to light. The Bodwell Granite Com.
pany recently quarried o shaft OF
granite which is the largest piece OF
stone ever quarried anywhere, and if
erected will be the highest, largest and
heaviest single piece OF solid stone
standing, or that ever stood, so far as
any record can be found. In height
it considerably exceeds any of the
Egyptian obe.;sks. The tallest OF
these, which was brought from Heliop-
ostantine, and afterward taken to
Rome, where it is still standing, is
1O5 feet seven inches high, while the
Vinalhaven shaft is 155 feet long, ten
feet square at the base and weighs $50
tons. 1t is understood, says Stone,
that the company quarried this I'M
mense monolith of their own account,
not having an order for anything OF
the kind, and they suggest that it
would be a fitting contribution from
Maine for the monument to be erected
in honor Of General Grant.

LIGHTS WITHOUT DYNAMOs.
A Swedish Engineer Finds Cheap
Way Of Providing Electricity.

A new system of electric lighting
which promises to revolutionize the
dynamo method now used has just
been put in operation at the pretty
village of Hollis, near Jamaica, L. /.
The inventor is a famous Swedish
engineer named kookegy. For sew
eral years M. KOokegy has been max
ing experiments in regard to changing
the system of electric lighting.
He argued that it was possible to
create a current sufficiently strong by
means of the simple batteries used by
the telegraph and telephone COM
panies.
The only obstacle was the great cost
of the fluids necessary to create the
current. This obstacle has been over
come by Mr.. Kookegy. by using a mix
ture of nitric acid bichromate salt.
This solution costs but three cents a
pound. On this basis, Mr.. Kookegy
is enabled to operate a circuit with
1000 jets at one-ffth the cost of the
present dynamo method.
That the new system is no mere ex-
pertinent is evidenced in the fact that
the whole village of Hollis is now
lighted from simple batteries. All of
the houses in the place are also lighted
by the same current.
A great advantage that the battery
system has over the dynamo, aside
from the small cost, is that by its use
any one can have an electric lighting
plant in his or her house. No engi-
neers, firemen or electricians are re-
quired and the cells which hold the
fluid can be placed on closet shelf or
in the cellar, the same as the gas
meter.
The Long Island Railroad people
have becom greatly impressed with
the efficiency of the new system and
have secured the sole contract for its
use on Long Island.

in them lay, to a radical-an almost
revolutionary-extension of the pro-
tective tariff at the very moment
when in New England, Kansas and
Minnesota pro tectionism showed signs
OF having been undermined, and to a
revival of that federal interference in
the south which the public sentiment
of the north compelled the party to
abandon twelve or fifteen years ago
and has neve. asked the rc-establsh
ment of. To handful of men i'll q
Washington parlor, who look on poll
tics as game OF CHESS, and the voters
of the country merely as pawns, this
programme might easily have seemed
like bold and promising dash for the
stakes on the table, but the most pop
ular Republican in the country, and
the most skillful Republican manager
in the country, have had to interpose
to rescue the party from the little CO.
terie in the house that has been at
tempting to direct operations.

TERRIBLE DISASTER.
Flfteen Men Lose their Lives by Ex-
plosion Of Dynamite at Spokane
Falls

A fearful explosion OF dynamite oc
Cured on the railroad grade at Spo
kane Falls, Saturday afternoon. The
scene of the explosion presented a
fearful appearance. On top of the
ledge of rock where the unfortunate
foreman James MCPHERSON was tamp-
ing the blast, by the explosion OF
which so many were hurled into eter-
nifty, deep hole was excavated, and it
is estimated $500 cubic feet of rock
and earth were hurled upon the un-
fortunate men directly beneath in the
cut. The explosion was terrific one,
it being stated that $50 pounds of
dynamite were in each of the two
blasts discharged. Although a large
force were kept at work until all the
rock dislodged by the premature blast
was removed, no more bodies were
found. The number of dead found
was fourteen. In addition to these,
one man died from the effects of his
injuries, ut the hospital Sunday, and
it is also reported that two others,
badly injured, have died at their homes.
Many of those injured were so badly
hurt that recovery is almost impossi-
BILE.
General Foreman Charles Bolt,
states that AZ men were in the gang
at work on the cut in that ledge. Of
that number Is are dead, 8 in the
hospital, and it has so far been impos-
sible to determine the whereabouts of
the other 19 men.

A Love d" Scrap"

"eohustou IObt.
The dainty ormolu clock on the
mantle had just chimed in silvery tones
when Algernon Percy de Velliford
came to time looking as fresh as al
daisy. The match was to be a finish,
for Ethel Vane had told him it was to
be their last meeting. Ethel's father
acted as time-keeper. She did not
make a move. 1t was evidently her
tactics to wait for Algernon to force
the fighting while she played for his
wind. Algernon was foxy from the
first.
Algernon," she said, after consider
able feinting, ~ love you. My soul
throbs with the subtle magnetism of
your presence. Oh, love, is it not q
horrible thing? See how it transforms
angels into monsters and monsters into
angels. When am with thee there
is no time, no eternity; nothing but
you. The sun shines that it may beam
upon your face. The stars glitter only
that their light may kiss the path that
you are treading. Do not turn your
head away. Do you not hear me2
Can you not feel the blood that rushes
through my hands madly tingling to
the refrain, love you'll love your I"
Algernon came up groggy.
He spoke fin monosyllables, under
taking series of short-arm blows.
She made gallant lead, but he count
cred.
"Ah-I-am-so poor" he said.
"Were rich-but think of your
family"
"What is wealth or prosperity to
me?"- she cried.
He reached for her with both hands
for a mad embrace. He was playing
for her neck, but she caught him with
u sumner over the heart.
His breath came heavily; he was
evidently pretty well winded.
"Will you consent to brave the fu-
ture and be mine, in spite of my pov.
erty and humble position"
40 Algernonp she murmured.
She had knocked him clean over the
roDes.

Silver and the Democracv
San Francisco Alta California.

sun rEuuCibcO AItd CallfOfnlo.
The Republican party deliberately
demonetized silver. A Democratic
Congress remonetized it. Twice did
Republican presidents veto bills passed
by Democrats, restoring silver to its
proper place in the currency OF the
country. The Bland act was forced upon
Republican president by Democratic
votes. The great body of the votes in
Congress in favor of silver have always
been cast by Democrats, and the bulk
OF votes against silver have invariably
come from the Republican party. At
the present session of Congress the
Democratic Senators, with the aid of a
few Western members, forced free
coinage measure, and the Democrats
with the aid of few score of Repub-
licans from the Silver States, would
have forced it through the House but
for the active Intervention of President
Harrison, Speaker Reed and Boss Quay.
The silver bill that was adopted was
passed merely to prevent free coinage.
That was the record.
