Attention Road Oyerseers.

The last legislature made some I'M
portant changes in the road laws. Here
are some of the most important
changes:
Sec. |. That every road overseer
within his district shall erect and keep
up Il guage post at the foot of every
creek or river that becomes unfOrdable
or impossible ut the crossing of the
public roads of his district, which posts
shall be set at low wafer mark, on
which shall be inscribed, in plain legi-
bic letters or figures, together with a
scale of feet showing the scale of feet
| above low water mark, To the height of
which said stream is known to have
risen; and the expense of the same
shall be paid by the counties in which
the posts are erected, not TO exceed -
for the erection of same.
Section. 1882. 1t shall be the duty
of the road overseerS to cause the gen
eral work on roads To be performed
between the first day of March and the
first day of October of each year, one
half of which shall be performed by tn,
first of July, and it shall be his duty tC
superintend said work and require o
each laborer faithful performance o
duty, and require him TO do g hours o
actual service each day, and shall fur
nish to each laborer the necessary tool,
for working the road. Provided, tha
any county court in this state may, b,
order entered of record, suspend th,
provisions of this section requiring one
half of the work to be done prior to th
first day of July.

AMERICAN TIN PLATE.
Present Situation of the Industry and
Its Prospects Under the New Duty.

10 the Editor of the New York Evening Post
Sir-Our agony is almost over, and
we shall soon be enjoying all the bcnr-
fits of the spontaneous tin platc-pro-
ducimg Mckinley duty of , ljc per
pound. One year ago Mr.. Croncmcycr
stated in the ways and means commit
tee room that if the party in power
would pass this bill he would guarantee
that before the duty was eXacied Ameri-
can tin plate would be produced in
quantities sufficient to supply the de
mand, and at prices no higher than the
English article. A year has passed,
the new duty will be eXacted next
Wednesday, and what is the situation?
Not II box of tin plate is produced in
the United States for sale To the trade,
and MIR. Croncmeycr, whose mills are
at Demmler, Pa, is without any ap-
pliances TO produce it ut all; while
that prince of windbags, Neidringhaus,
is trying to gull the public with his
stories about his vast production in his
Sxlo factory, where is employed the
vast force of two boys and II man.
The Albion mills have turned out Il
little terne or roofing plate, but not, |
believe, II box of tin plate, and for this
''terne" ask prices 20 per cent higher
than English plate can he bought.
Now, what has the country gained
during this period? Since the agitation
commenced, tin plate has advanced
from 81 to 81 % box. We have inn
ported not less than 6 million boxes
and paid the Welsh makers, ! am safe
in saying, not less than Z million dol
lars more than we should have paid
had this item been undisturbed; and
before January |, '92, we shall require
fully = millions boxes more, costing
the American consumer another : =
millions in extra duties and without an
American tin plate mill prepared ia
relieve the demand to any appreciable
degree. For with my knowledge of
the present position of the industry,
feel very sure that 1891 will see pre-
cious few American tinplates offered
for sale. All claims to the contrary,
am sure that we shall not have IN this
country on the lSt of July over two
months supply of such places rs ART
required for our great canning industry
OF trash there Is an abundance; in
fact, Wales has cleaned house, and
dumped her worthless stock in here ri
an advance of fully 80 per cent over
what she could have obtained for it one
year ago. Thousands of boxes of re
cent arrivals are rejected stock whicl
she would have been compelled tC
market elsewhere had we not offereC
this premium for it here. II will bC
interesting to watch the course of th'
market this summer to watch also The

Hatch for Speaker.

''' i''''o oo'-i'isputCn.
The Post-Dispatch had a conversation
with a member of the last house and a
member-elect to the Fifty-secOnd from
Jersey on the subject of the next speak
ership. When asked who he was for
his answer was positive and emphatic:
81 am for Bill Hatch of Missouri
"Why am for him? Because in my
Judgment he is by all odds the most
available candidate. He comes from
the right section, close to the Iowa
line, from the great state of Missouri.
He knows the wants of the agricultur-
ist, not only of the great northwest,
but of the whole country lie is Il
practical farmer himself, Il fine LAWYER,
Il man of commanding appearance, II
fine presiding officer and dignified in
his manner, cool in debate but firm in

that Col. Hatch is the man. They know
that whatever of good has resulted tC

his twelve years in congress. He ha.
elevated the agricultural bureau to {;

tural stations to be established all ovel

the farmers. But in addition to all thai
he is right on all the important issues
of the day. He is with the people ant
a majority of the democrats on the sill
yer question. He is in harmony with
the people and his party on the tariff
He is not, however, one of those who

men who are aspiring to the position
have but the kindest regards. They
are each and all honest and competent
gentlemen, but il is my judgment that
the best interest of the party would be
subserved by the election of Col

The Lake in the Colorado Desert.


The recent sudden formation of II
vast lake in the Colorado desert still
remains Il mystery. A despatch from
Yuma, Arizona, states that boat party
sent out To trace the new lake have
been forced to return after travelling
twenty-five miles. The force of the
current made further progress impos-
sibIc.
There seems to be but little force in
the explanation which some have sug-
gested, that the inundation is caused
by rise of other lakes due to the
melting of unusually heavy snowfalls
in the winter and spring. 1t has been
limited that the desert lake is result
of earthquake action. And there is
some color of probability for this
theory.
After the New Madrid earthquake
shocks of 1Sll-l2, according to the
gcographer Flint, who visited the
scene of the commissions II tract of many
miles in extent became inundated to a
depth of three or four feet. In the
course of an hour or two during the
period of the earth tremors large lakes
twenty miles long were formed and
others were as suddenly drained. Sir
Charles Lyell, the English geologist,
who subsequently visited the disturbed
region of the Mississippi Valley, con-
iirmed the truth of these and many
like wonderful statements.
In the great Calabrian earthquake OF
1888 numerous circular hollOws and
new lakes were similarly formed. An
Italian authority places the number OF
new lakes formed during the convul-
sions at fifty, though probably some OF
these were mere ponds. While there
have not been recently any violent
seismic disturbances IN the region OF
the Colorado desert ii is possible that
earth shocks, exciting very little notice,
may have been influential in causing
the new lake.
The subject is one of so much inter
est, geologically and practically, that
the cause of the remarkable submer-
gence of the desert should be carefully
followed up by competent scientists.

ARIIONA'S OCEAN.
The Great Desert OF the West Filling
With War.

TUsCON, Ariz., June 3O.-A special
from Yuma says: The Colorado des-
crt basin at Salton, sixty miles west of
Yuma, is rapidly filing up with fresh
water from Il subterranean passage. be-
lieved to be connected with the Colora-
do river, caused by high water last Feb
ruary. AT last advices the desert was
converted into lake five miles wide.
The machinery is being removed
from the salt factories at Salton. The
Southern Pacific railroad track passes
through the basin for more than fifty
miles, its lowest point being 263 feet be-
low the sea level. The Colorado river
is 100 feet above the sea level at Yuma.
If the subterranean passage connects
with the Colorado above Yuma the lake
will be over 400 feet in depth and over
fifty miles long. If the waters continue
to rise the Southern Pacific track will
be submerged for nearly one hundred
miles and the great desert of the Colo
RADIO will be converted into vast lake.

nothing for the President to do, appar-
emily, except to order the Secretary to

which no ought not TO touch, and to
ask Congress as soon as 1t meets for
authority 10 negotiate a new loan.
The country is far from being in the
comfortable circumstances that short
time ago made it happy. On the con-
| trary it is on the brink of bankruptcy,
entirely owing to the criminal extrava-
gance of the reckless politicians, who
have been able to squander the re-
sources of the people by reason of their
control of the executive and Legislative

only gratitutude and thankfulness that
he was surrounded by the many comforts
| the Soldiers Home afforded, for it was
a home indeed. Then let us do every

Let us remember that these manned
and crippled soldiers are the braves
who barred their breasts To the rolling

defense of our country and our homes
We have accepted the result of the
