NOTES.
The committee of arrangements of
which Register p j. Arson was chair
man deserves the highest praises for
the success of the reception in every
particular and detail.

Democrats as well as Republicans
one and all, and that welcome wa
alike cordial from all.

Expensive.

EoR the next two years our govern
ment will spend annually more than
$500.000,000. To pay one years ex-
penses Of the government it will take
nearly the combine wheat and oat crop.
Our annual output of gold, silver,
copper, iron, coal, petroleum and lead
will not foot our tax bill for twelve
months. Nor can we do it with years
product of cotton, wool, rye, barley,
wine potatoes and tobacco. The CON-
bined capitalization of our national
banks is $500, 100000. One years
taxes will nearly swallow it up Now,
all this is the federal tax. We also
have to pay city, county and state
taxes. We pretend to be a nation OF
plain people, with no aristocracy, no
princes, no standing army and no ex-
pensive frills, and yet our taxes are
more enormous than those of Austria
Germany or Great Britian.-Wash

Business Failures and Their Causes.

Bradstreet's semi-annual report of
business failures in the United States,
which has just been issued, shows
startling increase of commercial dis
asters during the first six months of
1891. Compared with the returns for
the corresponding period of last year,
the number of failures has risen from
5,466 to 6,037, an increase of ST.,
and the amount of liabilities has adj
vanced from s62, $3.50, 1852 to s91 ,270,-
652, an increase of $28, 402, $50.
These figures should command study.
While last years scanty crops I'M
doubtedly contributed to the COM
mercial depression which drove so
many smaller firms to the wall, the
cause did not lie entirely with Provi-
dence. The reckless course of the
Fifty.first congress, and the admins
tration that approved its acts, cannot
be ignored while considering the woe
full exhibit The passage of the Nc
Kinley bill--the most unconscio nable
tariff ever adopted much to I'M
settle values and shatter commercial
confidence. And the extravagant ex-
penditures which have already result
ed in embarrassing the government
did not tend to extend credits or pro-
ppte mercantile faith.

TALENTED Republican economists
are advising Western farmers to re-
strict their acreage for the next wheat
crop in order to avoid the necessity
of selling it for less than the cost of
production. Such talk is thrown away
upon the farmers who have no means
of combining to restrict production
and are compelled to work for the
biggest crop possible, so as to make
both ends meet after paying the tax
collector and the mortgageholder.
What the wheat-growers need is an
increase in the purchasing power OF
each bushel of grain through reduc-
ton in the Mckinley prices of the
supplies that every farmer has to buy

PRoF E. STONE WIGGINs, the Cana
dian weather prophet, says the pre-
vailing drouth in Canada is due to the
existence of wire fences and telegraph
lines on the prairies in our Western
States. He says there is constant
atmospheric current running up the
Mississippi Valley, and that the vari-
able winds sometimes experienced in
this wide valley and flow beneath the
great prevailing gulf stream of the
heavens. This prevailing wind bore
moisture from the Gulf of Mexico, and
distributed 1t over the Western States
and Canada. But the electricity from
the many wires on the great Western
plains of the United States causes the
clouds to precipitate their moisture
prematureIy, thus defrauding the Ca
nadians of their just share of rain, and
at the same time engendering cyclones
and other atmospheric commissions IN
this country.

Hanging to the side of Car He Holds n
Little Child Up ut the Risk of His Life.
AS freight train was going to Pitts
field, n. H., on the Suncool1 Valley
railroad the engineer Charles j. Hutch
ins, saw short distance ahead little
child on the track. 1t was impossible
to stop the train before reaching the
child, and he went forward to the pilot
in the hope of grasping and rescuing the
little one. A sudden lurch of the locomo-
tive threw him on the road-bed. The
engine knocked down and passed over
the child, who, when discovered by the
engineer under the moving train, was
attempting to crawl out between the
wheels Hutchins, hanging to the side
of car, reached through the truck
frame, caught the child and, holding it
safely, was dragged by the train until
it was stopped. The child was unhurt,
but the engineer was slightly bruised,

SECOND AUTOPSY.
Black hinged Eyes Stripped OF
Their Skin on Smiler's Body.
Flayed and Pnrboiled Legs and Blistorod
Face-Such the Result OF Elec-
trocution.

Thursday morning the result of sec
ond autopsy held by Drs. Culver, Rod
enstein and Nook on the body of Har-
ris A. Smiler, one OF the four men cleo
trocuted at Sing Sing Tuesday, was
made known. To the unprofessional
mind the condition of the body was hor-
rifying, and on slight examination ii
seemed as if the man had died from roast
ing. The blacs:-ringed eyes, stripped
of their skin, the flayed and parboiled
leg and the mysterious scars on the
nose and chin, were all suggestive of a
horrible torture. But when the visible
marks were more closely examined it
was easy to see that they were merely
superficial, for they did not extend be-
yond the outer skin. In describing the
body as it lay in Undertaken Hulberg S
establishment, New York city, the
reporter says: "The features were
composed, but painfully dis
colored. The shaved head and
nnshaved chin added to make the body
repellant. The retreating forehead
and the discolored places about the eyes
added to the sinister and forbidding as
pect of the face. I'm seeking place
where the skull was thin for the plac
ing of the head electrode the eXecu'
toner had clasped it across the eyes
The fierce, white-hot current, which
set a bucket of water boiling in q
breath, had scared and stripped
the skin in horrible way, leav
ing the raw, red surface cults eX
posed to view. At the edges strips OF
the epidermis, the outer skin, were
curled up and dried like parchment,
and easily came off when touched by
the finger. A piece of skin had come
off from the bridge of the nose, and
there was small scar near the chin
How could it get there? When the
right leg was barred another painful
sight was disclosed. The lower elec
trode, concave pad of brass six inches
by three, or thereabouts, had beer
strapped on just below the right
knee. It's mark was there, for the
skin beneath had been stripped away
and raw-looking place had run up the
under side of the leg past the knee
joint. This latter was as mysterious
as the marks on the chin and nose. The
New York Herald had an interview
with DR.. Ira T. Van Fiesen, of Brook
lyn, who assisted at the autopsies IL
Sing Sing, in which he says: THE skin
on the leg was burned and also the
cuticle on the forehead where the cur
rent first entered the bodies. But
do not suppose any pain was felt from
that -

The Kaiser Embarrasses the Prince.

Emperor William, at the state dinner
in Windsor put the prince of Wales in
an embarrassing position by asking
him some questions about naval mat
ters, which the prince was entirely un-
able to respond. The kaiser also tried
to obtain some military intelligence
from the prince, but, it is said, found
the Royal field marshal hopelessly ig-
norant on such topics. A well-known
nobleman has cruelty suggested that
the prince would have been at home on
baccarat. The kaiser, it is thought.
takes malicious pleasure in politely
sounding the depth of the princes ig.
norance on prominent public topics.
However, to all appearances they arc
very friendly.

Crop Prospects.

A recent careful survey of the crop
situation in the Northwest showed bet
ter prospects than for several years past.
There was an unusually excellent stand
of wheat in the No. hard districts of
Minnesota and North Dakota. The rains
had been seasonable and the growing
temperature just right. There had been
no damage, except in limited and isolat-
ed cases, from winds, rains or insects.
The Red River Valley, in which there
has never been general failure, prom
ised to beat its best record, when itpro-
duced 81, 900, 600 bushels of wheat. There
was a scarcity of farm-hands, and from
SO to So. so day anu board was being
offered for harvesters.

Quick Lime Follows Electricity for Sing
Sing Trio-SmiIer's Body Taken to His
Relatives.
Warden Brown, of Sing Sing prison,
Wednesday afternoon closed the last
chapter of the famous electrocution sen.
sation by burying the bodies of Jugiro,
Slocum and Wood side by side in the
prison cemetery on the hill, just out
side the prison walls At noon the body
of Smiler was placed in an express
wagon and driven to the depot, where
the box was transferred to the 1870 p.
M train for New York. His remains
will be buried in Woodlawn ceme-
terry. The bodies of Slocum, Jugiro
and Wood were gathered up, and nude
as when born, were placed in rude pine
coffins. Before the flesh was placed
in the wooden boxes bushel of quick.
lime was thrown into each of the re.
ceptacles. On top of the quiclSlime the
remains of the dead were placed and on
top of the remains more quicllime
was spread. The boxes were
then lowered into the graves, which
had been dug for them by convicts early
Wednesday morning. The earth was
then shoveled in upon the boxes and
the graves leveled off SO that no traces
should be left of them. There were
no religious ceremonies, as the
law prohibits any such demonstration.
AS soon as the bodies were removed
from the morgue convicts were at once
set at work cleaning up the death
chamber and putting it in order for the
next electrocution.

AN EXPENSIVE BLAZE.

Destruction of BurkhRrdt'B Ten-Story Fur
Establishment, Cincinnati, Together
with n Clothing House and other
Property.
Fire broke out in the ten-story build
Ing, corner Fourth and Elm streets,
Cincinnati, Wednesday evening, oc-
cupied by A. Il. Burkhardt & Co. dealers
In furs, etc. Two hours after the tiny
stream of smoke had first told the dam
ger, the great fur house and the whole
were marked only by heaps Of
blackened and smoking wreckage. Tho
loss to adjoining property was due
chiefly to smoke and water. The Pape
Brothers Molding Co. occupied the
building next to Geiershofer &c Co.
Their warerooms were stored with
fine framed pictures, costly mir
rors and fancy bric-a-brac to
the value of about $4,000. The
greater portion of their stock was car
ried to place of safety by the Sal
wage Corps, but in tearing the pictures
off the wall and carrying them out
through the water large number was
seriously damaged. The building is
damaged to considerable extent by
the falling of the east wall, which went
through to the cellar, sweeping all
before it. Next to Pape Bros.
establishment are the store rooms
of the Steinway Piano Co.
Its stock is valued at $50 900, on which
it carries an insurance of $4,000. The
chief loss will be from water and the
falling walls. The entire loss on build
ings, stock, etc, will reach 800, 600,
covered by an insurance of nearly a
million dollars Mr.. Burl1hardt says
he will resume business at once. The
origin of the fire is not vet known.
