Very Dry New England.

A Plainfeld, Conn.,, dispatch Of the
10th says: To-day has been one of the
hottest in years, and the drouth is some
thing startling. Ali late crops are burn

that they are badly dwarfed. The
rivers, ponds and other mill
streams are lower than for
years. Ashland, Jewett City, ClayviIle.
Central Valley and other places have
been compelled to stop their mills for
want of water. All through the valleys
of the Yantic, Quinnebaugh and She
tucket rivers mills are idle. Pachaug
Lake, that covers IA 900 acres, is nearly
dry, and unless rain soon comes the loss
to crops and in wages will be great.

Guided that it is not case of attempt

to prove that the incoherent story

that the injuries from which she is suf-
fering were self-inficted. No reason
for her attempt at suicide is given, but
the police hope to soon discover why
she attempted to kill herself.

are not working under association rules.

Real Estate improvements.

Are twelve children improvements
on homestead ?" is the question now
confronting the local United States land
office at Marquette, Mich. In 1888
Frank Foote and Mahlon Mauger took
up claims on the Marquette, Houghton
4 Ontonagon Railroad indemnity lands
north of Portage Entry, these lands
having been declared open to settle
ment by the secretary of the inte-
rior in 1887. Now William Popin comes
forward to contest the claims of
Foote and Mauger. Popin is fisher
man, and alleges that he settled on the
land in 1865; that he has made it his
home ever since; that Foote and Maui
ger took possession during his tempo
rary absence. Popin enumerates sun
dry buildings erected and other i'm
provements made on the land by him.
Among the improvements he cites that
he has raised a family of twelve chill
dren, all born on the land in controver-
sv and all now living.

A Mexican Shake.

Cocopah Smith, an American trapper,
accompanied by Gardner, hunter, and
Espich, a Cocopah Indian, have re-
turned to Yuma, Ariz., from the Gulf of
California, and give additional details
concerning the recent earthquake
and tidal wave. About 6 O'Clock
in the morning heavy
shock struck the country about five
miles below Lerdo, colony in the state
of Sonora, Mexico, on the Colorado
River. The sky darkened and thun-
der storm arose accompanied by great
flashes Of lightning. The river rose as
huge wave from the gulf and was driven
inland, and corrals. fences and landing
places were washed away by the rush
ing waters. The shaking of the
ground increased, and the crack
ling, grinding noise of the crumb-
ling hills was intensified. A second
shock caused the earth to open in
many places, some assures being from
four to seven feet wide and thirty feet
long, and seemingly fathomless. The
men were thrown to the ground by the
force of the shock. About mile from
Lerdo they noticed a fssure in the
middle of the river bed into which the
Colorado was pouring with much

Advocates Of the free and unlimited coinage
OF silver appear to lose sight of certain funda-
mental principles. They contend that as gold
is coined free so should silver be. Thus, ignor-
ing the fact that gold coinage rather diminishes
the value of gold, A. shown by recent exporta-
ton, the gold bars having premium over the
coin, while silver coinage appreciates silver
from 81 to Sl.29 per ounce, they seek to use
the government to benefit those who sell silver
q. the expense Of the rest Of the people. For
tie higher price paid by the government for
bullion to stamp into dollars il q tax that has
to be paid by somebody. But the silverites
seem to think that by some hocus pocus cheap
money brings prosperity. This is the boss de-
fusion OF the age. 1t neverwas 30 and in the
safe constitution Of things in this world cannot
be 90. A day of such alleged prosperity would
b speedily followed by days Of prostration.
The free and unlimited coinage Of the money
metals depends on the state Of the money mar
ket When that market settles the ratio Of
silver TO gold, or gold to silver then perfec.
bimstAllism results. The government of the
United States does not control the money mar
ket Of the world.

, Marty Of Ohio. ~ the third party

The peoples party Of Ohio, a. the third party
calls itself, has put out a ticket and platform.
The former, 1t is said, is composed of respect
able men. The latter will be scrutinized
closely and some parts Of it will be severely
criticised. The financial plank Of course is the
principal feature. The abolition Of national
banks as banks Of issue il demanded and the
substitution for their currency of free legal
tender treasury notes in sufficient volume to
conduct the country's business on a cash basis.
Nothing is said Of warehouses or crop mort
cages, but government loans directly to the
people on real estate or 'other ample security
at rate OF interest not exceeding two per cent.
may include the alliance proposition. For the
rest, free and unlimited coinage Of silver, and
short plank declaring against taxation that
builds up one interest at the expense Of another,
sad a declaration for graduated income tax,
complete the economical exactions OF the party.
In these latter features the peoples party aud
the democrats are in harmony in Ohio. There
are also labor and municipal reform demands,
demand for the forfeiture Of the Standard
on Company's charter on the ground that II
lad turned to an alien trust its powers and
privileges under the laws Of Ohio, and
o demand for the suppression OF all
forms Of gambling in futures and
all agricultural and mechanical products.
In the demands for the popular election OF
United States Senators, for the prohibition OF
child labor under fourteen years Of age, and
Contract prison labor it is likely the convention
has the moral support Of a large majority OF
tine people The liquor plank, over which there
rss more sticking than anything else. is not
ala in
tended to catch the prohibitionists-
To abolish the element Of profit, believed to
be q source of constant temptation and evil.
the third party demands that the exclusive ini-
portation. expectation, manufacture and sale
Of spirituous liquors shall be conducted by the
general government or state, at cost, through
agencies or salaries in such towns and cities as
snail apply for such agencies
The plan for the management Of the sale Of
s2irifuous liquors by government is much like
that in use in Switzerland. 1t has worked well
In iha. country in reducing the sale Of liquor
BY removing all the temptations of the saloon
TO its use; and it has also proved beneficial TO
the health Of the community by abolisbing all
the pestilent authorizations Of liquors, and fur
nishing only pure article. The profits from
the sale, also makes large item in paying the
expenses Of the government; and in this way 10
vastly popular with the taxpayers, who usually
have increased burdens put upon them by the
erime-producing. pauper-making unrestricted
sale Of liquors.
Whether the plan that has worked so salts
fsctorily in q small country like Switzerland
would succeed in our big nation is a matter Of
doubt, but the adoption Of the idea by the
