A Pathetic Speech.

A vain attempt has been made by
party newspapers to prove that the
farmers of the west are enjoying a
very picnic of prosperity under the
benefcent high tariff regime.
But this is the kind of story which
Mrs. Lease, of Kansas. told to a
Washington audience. She said:
twenty-five years ago the women
came from the east to this land
They came with roses in their cheeks
and the fire of hope in their hearts
Leaving behind them all that was
near and dear, they turned their face.
toward the new and untried west
Here we endured loneliness and pri.
vations. Children were born to VI
and our babies lie buried beneath thu
sods of the wild prairies.
To-day we are being robbed o.
our homes by the Infamous system o
mortgage foreclosures. As many al
500 families have been turned out il
week. We are evicted from homes
that represent the toll of the hes
years Of our lives.
do you wonder that we join thu
Farmers Alliance and the Knights o
Labor wonder how any mothe

John the Baptist heralded the cominI

Although there was net decrease
Of the bonded debt during the month
of March of little over 100000
there was an actual increase in the
total net debt of 40,126.13. The
receipts and expenditures of the
Government begin to show the inAu-
ence of the reckless legislation Of the
Fifty.irst Congress. For the month
of March, 1890, when the expenditur.
es and receipts were still determined
by the work of the Fiftieth Congress,
the income was $35, 100000 and the
outgo was s1S,0O0,000 in round mum.
bers, leaving a surplus of $1,000, 900
For the same month this year, under
the tax laws and appropriations Of
the first session of the Fifty-frst
Congress, the receipts were 500, 000,-
600 and the expenditures $31 900, 900,
leaving deficit of 100000. 1t is
interesting to note the items that
caused this notable difference. The
customs fell off S5,5O0,0OO. the civil
and miscellaneous expenditures in
creased 100000, pensions nearly
100000, war s1.200,O00 and navy
100000. In 1890, 100000 was
paid in premiums and nothing this
year, while this year s2,4O0,O0O was
paid for the redemption of bank notes,
the fund for that purpose having been
turned into the Treasury. The net
result for nine months since July 1,
1890, has been an excess of revenue
of about ST. $780, 900 against $40, OOO.-
900 the previous year, but it will be
noticed that the excess for this year
has come to an end.-New York

Election.

The full returns of the vote cast in
Michigan at the recent State election
have not yet been published, but re-
turns from all except thirteen counties
give the following result:
For Justice of the Supreme court,
Champlin, Democrat, 1877 1884; Mont.
gomery, Republican, 141 1927; Dodge
Prohibition. 11,056; Atkinson, In
dustrial, 7,07S.
The vote for Regents of the Univer.
sity, in same counties is as follows
Clark, Democrat. 138,s90; Williams,
Democrat. 1876, 297; Howard, Repub.
lican, 1858; Cook, Republican,
1858.
A fair comparison, as regards the
vote politically, is between Williams,
Democrat, and Cook, Republican.

Destructive Power of Big Guns.

Few people," says naval officer,
appreciate the tremendous power of
the blast caused by firing big gun
on board of ship. An example of
its effects was seen in some recent
trials in firing the sixty-seven-ton gun
of the new battle-ship Trafalgar, con.
sidered one of the three or four finest
vessels in the British navy. The gun
was pointed directly ahead, and fired
with charge of $50 pounds of slow.
burning powder and 1.250.pound
projectile. The blast produced by the
rush of powder-gas and the shot was
so tremendous that the plates Of the
forecastle were forced in and the
deck-beams bent out of shape, while
almost every round carried away
some fragment of the projecting por-
tions Of the ship, even when the train
ing was to the right or the left. 1t is
estimated that the vessel would be
reduced to something very like a
wreck were twenty-five rounds to be
fired, either directly ahead or directly
eastern. This interferes with, or
renders impossible, firing when either
in flight or chase, and has caused our
naval constructors to modify the
plans for the projected battle-ships,
as 1t is not deemed desirable to have
them sink from the the discharge of
their own guns."-Ex.
