Bite Of the Peaches.

Sad news comes from the peach
country.
The peach blight is spreading with
alarming rapidly throughout this
Peninsula. Many of the varities are
maturing FIVE and six weeks ahead of
time. The yield, which promised
well until few weeks ago to exceed
six million basket, will now be num-
bered in the thousands. Reports
from over the Peninsula bear up this
assertion. The cause for thepresent
alarm is an unusual one. Prematur-
ing is the great bugaboo. Sometimes
it is found that on tree one limb
will be full Of beautiful red, ripe but
premature fruit, while the remainder
of the tree is full of green fruit. This
complaint is general. Many of the
largest growers say it would be i'm.
possible to find single basket of
perfect fruit in their orchards.

There is a great deal of large bragg
ging among the politicians and the
subsidized party papers in the way
of predictions on the result of the
election in Ohio. Each of the old
parties are sure of winning if we are
to believe what they say, which as a
matter of fact neither feel any Ger
tainty of. Judging from the signs
of the times and the ferment among
the masses, we will hazard the pre-
diction that Mckinley will be beaten
so badly that his friends will hardly
know him after the election. The
party papers are fooling their read.

Dunn & Co.'s statistics Of business
failures in the United States for the

6,0T4 failures with liabilities of $92,.
4l6,000, as compared with 1886
with liabilities of $65.319 900 for the
corresponding six months of last
year. And thus we go on the down
road to bankruptcy and ruin with
accelerated speed. The business
and money which these unfortunate
men lose go into the hands of the
millionaire few. Steadily the little
streams of business throughout the
country empty into the great lake of
wealth and are lost as their sources
are dried up.
The old parties have succeeded in
fooling all the people some of the
time, and will continue to fool some
of the people all the time, but they
can't fool all the people all the time.
The old parties are preparing to
unite to beat the labor army. Sen.

"If the farmers and labor people RIM

An Accidental Shot.

An accidental shooting occurred this forenoon about three miles be- yond J. H. Lees ranch, which may result in the death of 'Joseph H. Stephens, son of J. 0. Stephens. The latter two were on their way to Prescott in a wagon and were rid ing on the front,seat. On the rear seat was Albert Behan, son of John- ny Behan, A coyote was seen near the road when Behan attempted te pull his pistol to shoot it when the weapon was accidentally discharged sending bullet into Stephens back just below the shoulder blade. They attempted to bring the wound ed man to town but on arriving at MT. Lees he was unable to proceed further and a messenger was hur- rledly sent to Prescott for surgicai assistance. The man who brought the news to town could not tell how serious tie injury was but stated that Stephens looked very bad, and the would was in a dan gerous place. The bullet lodged in in his body.

The Campaign of '92.

The Worlds Washington corre-
 spondent announces that Mir. liar
 rison is about to turn back to his old
 political friends and captains, Quay Dadly, New and their like. This is undoubtedly as it must be if MT. Harrison is to secure the renom-
 ination which he seeks. There is
 only one Republican leader whose nomination is at all likely to be
 forced by what maybe called the pop ular sentiment of the party, and that is Mr. Blaine. MT. Harrison must depend upon the machine and the men who are able to capture Republican primaries and caucuses or to lead Republican conventions. It is not easy to point out any one at the head of the Republican or ganization who possesses anything like an exalted idea of politics. MT. Harrison must capture the machine by the use of the arts and corrup- tons in which Quay, Wanamaker, New, Platt, Chandler and Dudley excel. Any one save Blaine who secures the republican nomination next year must depend upon the men who raised the money and bought the votes 1888. And as Mir. Harrison seeks the prize he must secure 1t in accordance with the practices which will find most favor Tn the National Convention. To say that he is seeking the support of Quay and his crew is simply to say that he knows how to play the game of Republican politics.-New York World.
