an Inland Sea.

Further news OF the flooding Of the Colo
RADIO desert is waited for with a great deal
of interest The desert Is in San Diego
county, which is in the extreme southern
part Of California. 1t covers about 5000
square miles, and the lowest part of it is 263
feet below the level OF the sea. It is great
basin, and there are evidences in it that it
was oncs filed with salt water, Among
the Indians tlere is story that about a
half century ago water from some unknown
source flowed into it until the whole desert
was covered to a very considerable depth.
Not much faith is placed in this story, how
ever.
At Salton, which is the lowest part of the
desert, there are extensive salt mines. The
| workmen were driven out OF the mines on
| Saturday by the rising water. The South
ern Pacific railroad runs entirely across the
desert aud portions of its track are said to
be uudsr water.
At first it was thought that the water
came from the Colorado river, in which
there was a food, and which runs along the
eastern border Of the desert and at Yuma
is 140 feet above the sea level. But now il
is thought that it comes from the Paci c
ocean through a subterranean passage II
it came from the Colorado river it would
be fresh. 1t is, however, very salt, and il
the lake which has been formed, and which
| is very wide and many miles long, sail
water fish are being found.
On last Saturday there were severa
severe shocks Of earthquake In Southern
California, and one theory is that the earth
quake opened the way for the water to en-
ter the desert from the ocean. Whether or
not this theory is the true one is a question
which will soon be determined, if it has no
been already.
II a permanent inland sea should b.
formed, the whole section of country in tn,
vicinity of it may be transferred from
barren waste into fertile lands, where al
kinds OF tropical fruits may be successful,
cultivated. The desert itself is full Of hug
rocks, sand hills, dry lakes. aud muc
volcanoes, and its temperature in no
weather is 30 high that only Indians ca
endure il for any considerable length o
time. IL the desert, however, should be
come an inland sea, great changes woult
take place in Southern California.

Before the tin plate tax went into effect
the country was fairly flooded with the
foreign af<lcle Notwithstanding the enor-
nous output of the home product that the
republican papers have been constantly
telling US about, but no one on this CONT
neut has ever seen. Now the price of tin
ware will go up like rocket. 1t will help
the workingman only to the extent of
making him pay 25 per cent. more
for his dinner pail whenever he has occa-
sion 10 buy a new one. Poor people are
the ones who use tinware most, and on
them will the burden Of this unjust tax fall
Laborers and washer women will have to pay
il. Rich bankers and manufacturers will not
contribute penny. By the time the presi-
Dental election comes around again the
contributors to this tax will have had time
to decide how they like it.

Juggling with figures and Withholding
the payment of overdue pensions does not
give the country bona fide surplus in the
national treasury, nor does such cheap
tricke-y inspire the people with confidsn ce
in an administration Of the government by
men who have no scruples against resorting
TO that sort of petty trickery. AS the money
is not there no sort of deception that can be
practiced will put it there. Withholding from
pensioners their warrants will leave a very
large sum in the vaults until after the fiscal
statement can be made out. But that is
Just as dishonest to the pensioners as 1t is to
the taxpayers. Even that exorbitant tin
plate tariff cannot be relied upon TO line the
empty treasury vaults for some time to
come. Until the importers have used the
enormous supplies brought in on specula~
tion they viii not contribute penny above
the old duty. But they will rob the people
just the same by raising prices under the
protection" Of the tariff act.

Recently a Nebraska judge decided that
woman who was married in Missouri
within week after being divorced in Ne-
braska was not legal wife after returning
to Nebraska for the reason that the Ne
braska laws require that at least six months
shall intervene between a divorce and a sub
sequent marriage Now that the woman
wants TO be divorced again after
three months season of connubial
felicity she finds that such
formality is unnecessary, and the
alimony that she particularly wanted is not
available. But the decision has startled the
simple natives Y no have been accustomed
to get married and then unmarry again
pretty much as they pleased. Some of the
local Iapers say this astonishing decision
will tend to place thousands of good citizens
in peculiarly embarrassing position if it
should be sustained by the higher courts.
Nebraska people evidently believe in enjoy
ing their liberty pretty freely and lot Of it.
The gathering at Pembroke yesterday
was notable one. The representative peo-
pie Of Bryan county we're present, and
there are no better people in any other
county of the state. The occasion was the
visit of the Confederate Veterans associa-
lions Of Chatham and Efingham counties
to the C moderate Veterans Association OF
| Bryan county. The affair was exceedingly
well managed, and, therefore, passed off to
the satisfaction OF every one. A feature of
the occasion was the dinner, which was
superb. 1t was prepared by Bryan county
ladies', who contributed greatly to the
pleasure of all. These confederate reunions
are good things They bring the people
together, and should be encouraged.
Representatives of the congressional
party In Chile intend to lay before the
state department statement which will
tend to show that Balmaceda is the revolu-
zionist, and that they are merely trying 10
maintain order and sustain tho constitu-
tional law of the country. From their
statement it appears that Balmaceda is a
defiant usurper, who is simply endeavoring
by force to put in some overtime as president
somewhat after the manner of Bulkeley's
usurpation of the Office of governor Of Con-
necticut. With the Buckley example be-
fore US the government should promptly
shut down upon these statesmen who are SC
anxious to work overtime
Usurper Buckley is going right ahead
and appointing his friends to office just as il
he had been regularly elected governor Of
Connecticut, instead of being rejected by
his own party for a denomination. But il
may be observed that the Senate has mo-
confirmed his nominations. and as that body
is democratic they are not likely to be ap
proved.

The New York Sportsman calls the Char
ter Oak 10000 race the greatest trotting
event of modern times. 1t will likely be
many day before those eight heats will

Out in Detroit they have just now a
thoroughbred horse which stands twenty
one hands and weighs 1850 pounds.
Later advices from the Derby meeting
go to show that the little unpleasantness
wherein Auctions driver was fined and
deposed was one of the most scientific pool
playing events of recent times. Accord
ing to the stories, parties who knew the
bay gelding's ability to do the trick in 80
and thereabouts steadily bought him at
$40 to $40 and better. When their pockets
were well stuffed with tickets purchased
at these very neat odds, they stated to the
judge their belief that the horse was not
being driven to win and asked for new
driver, with the result already men
toned. After the race the tickets were
exchanged for a big sum of money.

onemile heat trotting races. The reason why
running races draw better than trotting races is
the fact that they vary the card with dashes
of different lengths and decided so quickly
being dashes and not heat races. If trotting
tournaments should have dash events of one
and two miles they would gain in variety. Be
sides, consider that trotting races, best three
out of five are, when the heats are split up tt
| race of five, six or more heats, too great g
strain on the horses. For example, the nine
heat race for the Charter Oak Park $40, 00t
stakes last week was altogether too long, ant
was cruel to the animals. 1t was almost crimi
nal, and Bergh's society would not have beer
Of the horses
Naturally there are two sides to al
these questions, but it goes without say
ing that the one-mile dash system hardly
shows the stout breeding of a horse; and
besides, very many horses which win the
third, fourth and fifth heats in contested
races would not be in it if the decisions
were reached in the first dash.
The directors of the Gentlemen's Driv
ing club of Hartford have decided tc
postpone the matinee events for the pres
emit. This action is taken in view of the
| various trotting events on the card fol
the next few weeks. There are meetings
at Rockville and Waterbury this week, the
state fair and the New Britain meeting
next week, Cherry park and Sufield later

drawn to nearby events for several weeks
to come. It is intended to make the

the Strong Features of the Trading.
NEW YORK. September 8.
Stocks opened at irregular but generally high
er figures, but the early trading developed great
fevershness under the pressure of the interests
selling certain stocks. The grangers and Goulds
made no material progress, but the low priced
Vanderbilts soon became the strong features of
the trading, while in q few shares like Missouri
Pacific, which has opened up materially higher,
positive weakness was seen. Union Pacific opened
down ID per cent. at 41A, Notwithstanding the
return of Mr.. Gould, and recovered portion of
the loss during the day, as did almost, all the
weak stocks The Chesapeake and Ohio shares
were subjected to considerable realizing and
consequently they all retired and the first pre-
ferred lost over per cent, being the only ma
terial loss for the day.
The market continued to show the greatest
irregularty throughout the day in the move
ments of the different stocks, but prices were
kept within narrow limits on the whole, while a
heavy tone prevailed in the general list until the
last half hour when there was q revival Of
strength under some new buying and the market
closed active and firm, generally at insignificant
changes for the day.
Railroad bonds were strong in the forenoon
though reacting somewhat later in the day with
the effect of leaving prices especially among the
active issues only slightly changed from those of
last week. The Atchson incomes were again
the leading active issues, and it furnished $751;
