To those persons who believe in the
doctrine OF retribution, ruses the Phila-
delphia Record, the death from hydro
phobia in the city of Mexico of Colonel
Miguel Lopez, the betrayer Of the EN-
peror Macmillan, will furnish text.
Lopez was Maxilian's trusted friend, and
the godfather of his child. For bride
Of $50, 600 be gave the password to the
troops Of Juarez, SO that they could enter
the city of Queretaro; and the capture and
execution Of Macmillan followed. The
wife and children of Lopez left him; he
was Kissed on the streets; even beggars
refused his charity ard cursed him, and
for twenty-five years he lived Stunned
and despised, dying at last in paroxysm
Of madness. Poor Carlotta and the mis-
guided Maximilian have been amply
avenged.

Dos's rRAp{ REVIEW.
Hard Times For SPECTATORS, But
Legitimate TEhde Good.

Il
The failures throughout the country last
For the United States, 2l9; for Canada, 25;
total pa, against 2l2 for the corresponding
week of last year.
There is nothing rose -colored in our report
as respects the the chances of spectators and
gamblers. Those who consider gambling the
end of business, and no other, may well be
disheartencd. Prices are lower, with pros.
poets of a further decline. The exposures
and LOSSES of these who have emptied their
own funds and the funds of others into Wall
street are notrose- colored. But the legitimate
business of the country, though not so large
failed and trade was far greater than ever
before, is nevertheless large, wellinaintained
and generally healthy. Very rarely has such
strain been put upon productive industry
and legitimate business as by the enormous
exports of gold in May. 1t is most signifi.
cant fact that after this severe test trade is
better for the season and more hopeful than
in April, when the great movement of gold
had not begun
Within thirty days the largest crop of
wheat ever grown, it is probable, will be
moving to market AT Philadelphia the
manufacturing trade is strenthened by orders
from Chicago. The paper trade is fair and
hopeful; tobacco and drugs unchanged;
paints dull and the liquor trade good, In
groceries there is a dismal lack of spec.
ulation, but tea moves more largely than last
year.
Pittsburg reports no change in iron, except
that Bessemer steel is stronger. At Cleveland
dry goods, groceries and hardware are NOV
ing fairly, and manufactured iron is in fair
demand. Capable business men in all parts
of the country look upon the moderate
shrinkage in the present trade as the natural
result OF last years short crops, and count
with great confidence upon a large business
with the full yield promised this year.
The iron industry for months, exceeding
others in the decrease of production, reports
a weekly output of 146,7s2 tons against 115,.
500 last month, with decreasing stocks unsold
which Is evidence that heavy demand here
after is expected. In bar, plate and structu-
raj iron the demand is already larger.
In all parts of the country the money
market shows surprising strength, notwith-
standing the loss of gold to Europe; and
while closeness is reported at Detroit, st.
Louis, Nashville and Savannah, reports from
nearly all cities show that nobody is suffer-
ing except spectators. In brief, the stu
alton is not good for gamblers; but for pro
ducers and legitimate traders, decidedly
hopeful.

1t is said, laments Munsey's Weekly,
that the snake charming industry is on
the decline. 1t no longer affords an
opening to girls who feel within them
the promptings of lofty ambition to
earn two hundred dollars a week and
their travelling expenses by dexterously
toying with lcthargic pythons, comatose
boas, and cute, little spotted garter
snakes. The public is weafying of an
exhibition which, it has discovered, does
not require a superhuman amount OF
bravery. It wants to see something really
remarkable, entirely new, and absolutely
unprecedented such as, for instance, a
female mouse tanner.

MEN ROASTED ALIVE.
Result of Terrible RAILROAD
Smashup.

Smashup.
A telegram from Parsons, Kansas, says.
The most disastrous wreck that ever occurred
on the Missouri, Kansas & Texas took place
Tuesday between Savannah and Frink
Three men were burned to crisp and six
injured, some of them, it is thought, fatally
Two engines were totally demolished, and
the wreck took fire and thirty cars were
burned
Two freight trains were ordered to pass at
Frnk. One of them arrived at the station
ahead of the other, and the engineer seeing
the train on the siding supposed it was the
train he had orders to wait for, and did not
stop for orders.
One of the men who burned to death was
the head brakeman and two are unknown.
Thebrakeman could only be identified by the
finding of the switch key on his. body.

THE NEW YORK ,rnRALD ON Tur THIRD

THE NEW YORK ltERALD ON THE THIRD
PARTY MOVEMENT.
Tho Neao York Herald says that the
National Union conference held recently
IN Cincinnati, is not to be poh- hoohed
away az an insignificant gathering Of
cranks and sorehcads. Following this
the Herald continues: PARTY leaders,
Republican or Democrat, Who look upon
it with indifference or treat it with ridi-
culc, fail to see its Significance and its
warning. Admit that the interests rep
resented are diverse, even incongrous
and discordant; that visionary schemes
may be favored and extreme demands
made 1t may be that no prac ical agree
ment will be reached, no platform
adopted, no third party formed. Ali
this signifies nothing The real signili-
cameo of the event is rather in its origin
than in what may be its immediate re-
suits, in the causes which hove led to it
rather than the effects which may now
come from it. From this point of view
the gathering on the banks of the Ohio,
lance and the Knights of Labor,
to say nothing of other organizations,
IS more significant than any so-called
third party movement we have had in
this country for years. The greenback,
the prohibition, the woman's suffrage
and even the labor cause have appealed
TO special classes Of limited numbers.
They lacked the elements of national
strength, and consequently of national
achievement. Different from all these is
the movement now looming up With
growing Importance especially in the
west. We have said that its significance
is In its origin, its cause. That cause is
party politics. Il is deep seated griev-
ance felt by the farmers and the wage
earners OF the country in consequence of
the shameful disregard of their interests
and welfare shown by the party in pow
er. The organization of the ag-
grleved classes is practical pro-
test against such party manage
ment. As the grievance affects ag-
ricultural and industry the scope of the
movement may be as broad as the nation,
as general as the masses. Il The
Farmers Alliance joined with the forces
of labor and other organizations may
prove factor in coming politics more
potent than many affect to believe OF
course it is not expected that third
party, if one should be formed next year,
would elect its candidates. 1t might,
however, carry enough States to throw
the choice into the house, which would
insure the election of democratic presi-
dent. But whatever may be the imme-
diate effect of this new uprising, the
movement is not going to disappear while
the cause which started it exists. Either
party in power must look to the interests
OF the farmers, workingmen and the
masses generally, OF these classes win
combine for their own protection"

THE "cRusIIfNe OUT" IDEA.

The CRUSHING OUT IDEA.
Under the above caption the Alliance
Advocate of Louisville, Tenn, says:
1.-THE fiat has gone forth The ma
tional banks have assumed control of tho
old political parties and directed that the
Alliance be forced to stand alone as a
third party. They forget, however, that
if the Alliance Democrats and Republi-
cans in their respective parties go to the
primaries that they are numerically strong
enough to control the workings thereof.
Do they expect to be able to buy up the
farmers Of the country by taking advan-
tage of their oppressed condition and
holding them in thrall by threats and
gllttering promises as hcrctoforc2 Oh,
no! They realize that the poor worm has
at last turned, and that the farmer is
thinking for himself, and shat his
thoughts are turned to his own hard CON
dltion and how to improve his opportu-
mites to secure fair amount oil relief
for himself and his family.
Hence the edict goes out that
the farmer must be led or forced
INTO third party, and the two old parties
unite to crush him out OF political exist
ence. And the city press has been bought
up and are one and ali united in an effort
to turn the attention of the farmer to the
high offices and great wealth awaiting
him as the rewad of independent political
action. But the farmer will not be thus
led from the enemy. He will be at the
caucus and at the convention, and his
voice will be raised in defense of his
home and his family If thcro is to be i
third party formed let the bankers and
monopolists organize it, and let them
come before the American people defend
ing platform erected on tho national
b,nklng system of to-day. Ye gods.
what spectacle they would present TO
the taxpayers of America. Let the ma
tional bank advocates defend their own
position rather than attempt to dictate
the position the farmers shall take. and
they will be kept busy from now until
their platform is rent asundcr by the
wrath of an outraged people. Ii the
farmers Of Tennessee adopt thc sub treas
ury plan they will defend it to the last.

the organization is prospecting beyond all
precedent so far as organization is con-
cerned. His greatest hindrance is in the

allure is far in excess of ability to supply.
Organizations having literature which
they can dispose OF, can do, much by
forwarding it to President Humphrey, or
distributing it among colored Alliances

WATER SUPPLY.

1t would be as we'll for the pres
emit Ministry if they made use OF
the time yet to eIapse between the
present day and the opening of the
next session of the Legislature in
preparing complete plan for pro-
viding this city with an ample
supply of water. Let this plan,
with drawings and estimates COM
plete, be ready to put into the
hands of the members the first
time they meet, that it may be ex-
amined by committee and if ap'
proved, the money necessary be
provided in the Appropriation Bill.
To supplement the suggestion, a
few hints are offered that may
prove of service whenever the sub
ject comes to be practically dis
oussed.
First, then, the idea of leaving
the city dependant upon stream-fed
reservoirs must be at once and
completely abandoned. Our pres
ent reservoirs may be utilized, as
we shall show presently, in supple
menting the artesian supply upon
which the greater part of the city
must, for the future, rely.
Let the city be divided into two
main divisions by line drawn
parallel to Beretania street, or per-
haps by Beretania street itself.
Everything mauka or lnshore OF
this line to be supplied by the
present reservoirs, which would be
sufficient when they are relieved
of any demand from the town be-
low the dividing line. All this
lower part to be supplied by arte-
sian wells, sunk, grouped and
worked as we see those at Eva
Plantation.
It is q delusion, although appar-
entity popular one, to suppose
that an artesian reservoir is mex
haustible; it is not so, and it becomes
sensible people to avoid waste and
extravaganza in the use of artesian
water as we'll as in anything else.
So deeply are we impressed with
the necessity of conserving the ar
tesian supply that we would gladly
see well-sinking strictly regulated
by law.
No we'll should be sunk without
the permission of the Minister of
Interior who would not issue his
permit without taking the opinion
of the Survey or Public Works
Department certifying to the neces-
sity and ACCESSIBILITY generally of
the new we'll. A license fee should
be charged for the permission and
the Government should reserve to
itself the right of overlooking the
quantity of water used, at least as
much as is the case with present
privileges in private premises, with
the right if necessary of closing
any well or the wells of any dis
trict for so many hours in each
day. In case of fire the Govern
ment, of course, through the Fire
Department would claim all the
water needed, and in case of
drought or any other emergency
the Government should be entitled
to certain recognized proportion
of the water from each private
well, paying of course a fair rental
for it, which would be settled at
