OF $500 each, amounting TO S265,O0O /;
add to this the salaries of clerks, messen-
gers. doorkeepers and other necessary
employees; then the expenses for fuel,
light. furniture. etc. the expense Of pub
fishing the proclamation Of the amend
ments in all the newspapers Of the state,
and the entire cost of a Constitutional
Convention will amount to not less than
half a million dollars.
If the Constitution does need amend
ment, there is a much cheaper and easier
way of doing it, provided in the body Of
that instrument, by which the Legisla-
ture can submit TO the people such
amendments as are desired by them, for
their ratification or rejection. 1t is con-
ceded that the principal object of hold
ing Convention is to amend the Consti-
tuition SO as 10 make it conform with the
Australian ballot system, which has
lately been adopted by a number Of the
States; a system that is cumbersome, in
1ricate, expensive, and annoying to the
electors; that is so far an experiment /;
that has not been thoroughly tested, and
has not as yet shown any startling re-
suits for good. Is it worth while, at an
expense of half million dollars Of the
taxpayers money, 10 rush into a change
of the Constitution for the purpose Of
adopting a new method of electing our
officials, which is of itself mere expert
ment that is now being tried by some Of
the States?

Internal Machine in Court.


CHICAGO, June 27.-Whisky Trust Glib
sons internal machine, which was to have
annihilated Sbueldt's disiillery, was in
Court TO be exhibited to the Judge during
argument of thecase this morning. 1t came
very near reaching a stage where the Court
and everything and everybody about il
would have been annihilated.
A single drop Of the compound was drop
ped on a sheet ofpaper. The paper was in
stantly ignited and wholly consumed, and
the persistent liquid fire was still going.
The lOosened CORK in the neck Of the bottle
also burst into iisme, and there was a great
scurrying around until it was extinguished
by being dipped in water.
Gibson himselfw was an interested specta-
tor.
The conspiracy charges and all other
counts in the Gitson indictment except the
one for attempting to commit the crime of
blowing up the Shufeldt distillery, thereby
destroying life and property, were quashed
by Judge Collins

Our Democratic friends are beginning
TO hedge at a lively rate on the question
Of the free coinage Of silver, which is so
persistently demanded by some of tie
Western politicians and the Alliance"
men Of the South. The people are open
ing their eyes TO the fact that the So
called double-standard Of gold and silver,
by which the coin Of either metal shall
be on a par, simply means that the
United States shall pay dollar in gold
to every one who may bring 10 the mint
4l2l grains Of silver-the amount now
contained in one of our silver dollars.
AS this amount Of silver is worth only
about eighty cents in gold, it is readily
seen how the holders Of silver would
make handsome profit by the deal and
why the silver mine owners so clamor-
ously persist in their demands. To catch
this Western vote the Democratic leaders
were inclined to pander to the Silver
kings, Uut as the people begin to see
through the selfish object of the mine
owners, they are changing base. "Cheap
money may be a desirable thing, but a
clear profit 10 the producer Of twenty
cents on each silver dollar coined is a
little more than the people care to stand,
and makes the cheapness of the money
rather problematical.

Corn's New Enemy.

CHESTER, Pa, June 24-The Agricultural
Department sent a representative from
Washington 10 investigate the habits of the
bug which has been devastating John L.
Balderson's corn field in Kennett township,
this county. The bug belongs TO a family
of con-hill bugs, of which there are half
dozen varieties, and It works under ground
by inserting its bill into young plants and
extracting the juice. The reason why it is
not so frequently discovered is doubtless
owing to the fact that it works Underground
and is not readily detected by a careless OBJ
server
While the reports of the damage done by
this family are not very frequent, it is pos
sible that many corn fields which are blight
ed from causes unknown to their owners
may owe their destruction 10 the corn bug
Mr.. Balderson has had reports that the pest
was known early in 1888 and has been dis
covered several times since, but it has never
become epidemic like the potato bug. The
Agricultural. Department representative
spent two days with Mr.. Balderson, and he
succeeded in getting some rare specimens Of
the bug family

been recognized as a leading member Of
his profession. The Republicans Of this

To judge from the energy with which
the Democratic journals are pitching
into" Sherman and Foraker, either or
both of them is a candidate for Governor
Of Ohio. Mckinley is so inyulnerable
and his strength so much dreaded that
the only resort left for the enemy is to
try and disrupt the Republicans by en-
deavOring TO create feuds in the Repub-
lican party and shoulder the imaginary
political sins Of others upon his back.
The campaign in Ohio will turn upon
the new tariff law the people there can
not be scared by the bugaboo of ruinous
prices, as they were last fall; the cam
pasgn Of education is being vigorously
pushed; the great leader of protection to
American industry is in the saddle, and
the Democratic leaders throughout the
country see the handwriting on the wall.
Mckinley viii win, and the tariff issue
will be measursbly settled before the
dawn Of 1892.

Ok Saturday next, July 4th, another
star will be added to our National flag,
which will then contain forty-four. An
act of Congress makes it obligatory that
another star shall be added TO the flag on
the Fourth of July first ensuing after the
admission of new State. Wyoming
was admitted on the llth of July last,
and hence the additional star will be
added on Saturday next, it being the
Fourth of July first ensuing after her
admission as 8 State Of the Union.

Or course, Governor Pattison has We
toed the apportionment bills. Nobody
expected anything else. Unless the
State were gerrymandered and the Demo
Gratis given half a dozen members Of

al appodionment bill would not receive
his approval This, however, is Of not
much importance the districts remain

titled to on the State ticket As to the

A TRICK.

The battered wreck at Raleigh still
calling itself tie Chronicle, now tries to
show that "Once upon a time the News
and Observer favored the sub-treasury
bill.
Suppose it did?
There was a time when the sub treasury
bill met the approval Of many men
thousands Of them. On this subject the
News and Observer this morning says:
Since all the leading men Of the u
try, all the best minds, hold that it is I'M
constitutional, it stands no chance of
ever becoming the law, and the people
who wan relief will not get it in that
way. We have therefore not held out to
the people any hope for relief from that
source. 1t would be only to disappoint
them, and lead them from getting relief
from some other measure which can be
passed at the next session of congress if
the alliance will only ask for it.
Now that the battered wreck of the
eminent rebukist and farmer-known as
farmer joe-wants to bring back history,
and, as he r~eproduces in his wretched
abortion The News and Observer circu-
lar OF long ago, let the miserable little
scamp himself tell some history.
Why was he educated by the republi-
can party-if his limited knowledge is
to be called education?
Why did he turn on the friends who
supported his poor old mother and made
it possible for her to send the little in
CRATE to school?
Why did the dirty sneak attemptto
elect VANCE, who publicly proclaimed
that he was against the sub-treasury bill
and gave as a reason that it was uncon-
stitutional, and at the same time ask a
farmers alliance Legislature to appoint
him to a position where he could extort
$4,000 a year from the state treasury?
Why does farmer joe, the great and
only ass of a dozen hemispheres, draw
money from the taxpayers for doing
nothing?

THE FIRE

and the citizens and the town and The
GLOBE welcome them The iremen OF
America are the bravest and generally
the most sacrificing of all men.
Every day and all the days we read of
deeds of daring-of perilous situations
of terrible and frightful, catastrophes-
and always the brave firemen are there.
Schooled in their business they do not
get excited drilled in the real work of
their profession, and it is a profession,
they arc undaunted.
North Carolina has fircmen who can
relate experiences in the very jaws of
death, and then she has some other fire
boys-brave ones they were, who sleep
beneath the gross and to whose ears the
general alarm does not reach.
In the New York Morning Advertiser,
received this morning, THE GLOBE reads
OF a brave mar who met his death. This
is the story, as it is told
"The fire originated in some unknown
manner in the cellar, and fed by the light
toys in HoRsMAN's stock, had gained
much Roadway before discovered. When
the firemen arrived in response to the
first alarm, sent in at 4:40 o'clock and
promptly followed by a second, third and
finally a fourth alarm, the entire building
was enveloped in dense smoke that poured
from every window.
zone of the first engine companies to
respond was No. 81, whose members had
just been relieved from duty in Park

He was in every sense Of the word a
leader, and when he ordered his men to
go up to the second floor of the g. it was
no surprise to them to see him mount the
ladder first and plunge through the win

by FIREMEN GRAIK, ELKEs, PORT anda

in dense smoke, fought the flames from
that point for several minutes. Finally
Shuttle turned to HAGGERTY and said
"'This is pretty tough work, old man

sharp hat late garden truck had a mar
row escape. The mercury fell from 9O0

and nothing but cloudy weather and
heavy winds prevented the killing frosts.
Corn in this section is so far advanced
that the cold will have little effect On it.
The crops in southwest Iowa and adj
joining portions of Illinois and Missouri
are unusually large, and there is nothing
but long-continued rains on an early
freeze that can injure them. The far
mers are not apprehensive of either. The
mercury is now about 400 above zero.
