UNEASINESS IN SPAIN.
(From the N. 7. Tribune Feb. ~

Barcelona, Feb. 6.-The Conservative can
didate for member of the Chamber of Depu-
ties has been elected, defeating Senior
Salmeron, the Republican leader. This victory
has greatly elated the supporters of the Gov
eminent. PUG, the Conservative candidate,
according to the returns announced, received
1914 votes, and Salmeron is stated to have
received 5,285 votes.
The Republicans are enraged at the result
Of the electoral contest, and accuse the ofici-
ais who had charge of the elections with tam
pering with the ballots. The Republicans
insist that Salmeron is duly elected. The
Conservative victory has caused popular dis
content, which has been smouldering for a
long time, to break out in all directions. The
cafes and clubs are crowded with people who
excitedly discuss the situation.
Two large petards were exploded in a pub
lie thoroughfare last night, causing a panic
among the people who were IN the %neighbor-
hood of the explosions.
The Government officials are thoroughly
alarmed and are making preparations to re-
sist a popular uprising. The military author
tiles in this city and in other large towns
have been ordered to hold the troops on the
alert. 1t is also understood that the military
authorities have been instructed, in case Of
disturbances, to act with promptness and
yigor. In other words, any revolutionary
movement is to be sterlly supp ressed by the
troops.

was a household word for excellence. 1t can
be grown without exhausting labour, and
prepared for market without more than Ordi-
nary care ; and It's cultivation can be conduct
ed on a small estate such as any industrious
villager could purchase with a few years saw
lngs from his wages. And so with corn, and
bananas, and other fruits. The country teens
with the kernels Of wealth that only require
to be tended with moderate assiduity to burst
into vigorous growth. An exhibition held
yearly and conducted in person by the fore
most men in the county, would give the peo-
pie an opportunity of competing against each
other in the production of the best and a
healthful spirit of emulation would be gene
rated. In connection with the exhibition the
people could be advised as to the disposal Of
their crops, the Government, if necessary,
making special provision in this direction.
The one great point is the willingness of the
people to be guided, and induced to enter
upon the march of progress; and it would
seem that the Berbice people are disposed to
follow the advice of their benefactors. We do
not know what last weeks Exhibition has
cost but unless it has proved a financial dis
aster, arrangements should be made at once
for the holding of another. A yearly compe-
tition would not be too frequent, for although
in many Of the classes into which the exhib-
its of last week were divided, there would be
no practical benefit accruing from the fire.
quency of the competitions, in the exhibits of
the vegetable kingdom the case would be diff
ferent. If the farmers get to know that once
a year the fruit of their fields will have a
chance of entering into competition with that
of their neighbours, they will exert themselves
to take a good place in the contest.

The "Lazaretto' of st. kits continues to
advocate with awful earnestness the compul-
sorry segregation of tae unclean or leprous
members of the community from the healthy,
and it's efforts are not being eXerted without
result. On the last day of the year, the In
spector of Police obtained warrants for the
arrest of so pauper lepers who had been re-
ceiving poor relief, After the people had
been identified it transpired that the |lazar3t.
TO was not quite ready for their reception.
This was vexing but Of course it meant only
a few days moro delay. To show that the
newspaper has undertaken a momentous duty,
in the interest of the inhabitants, it is only
necessary for our readers to peruse the follow
ing appalling statements of facts which appear
in the number Of January Goth :
con the 18th instant, we applied to the
Police Magistrate for a warrant under the
new Act, to apprehend and segregate in the
Leper Asylum a leper by name Sebastian.
The individual in question was employed by
one Darlington Hennigan to milk his cow,
from which he supplied US with milk. Sebas-
tian has been examined by q medical man,
who c~ertiies that he is a leper with his left
hand covered with leprous ulcers. We pub
fish these facts that people who object to
leprous milk may be on their guard against
obtaining it from q man who is so criminally
careless as to employ a leper to milk bis COWS.
This man was so we'll known by his own class
to be aleper that it is quite impossible that
Darlington could have been ignorant OF it.
We imagine that very many of our st. Kits
readers would discover q similar state of
things in the people who supply them with
food. We were told a few weeks ago by q
gentleman in Sandy Point of his having met
with a similar disagreable experience in his
milk woman. In that case the milk was kept
in a room in which a leper lived.
We have to record another case of a leper
who has been for some time in the habit of
milking his own COWS and selling the milk to
his customers in Basseterre. This man Ben.
iamin lives in College street, and though he
has lost the tips of his fingers, manages to
milk with the stumps.
On Sunday, the 18th instant, several re-
spectacle families in Basseterre received their
milk strongly tainted with iodoform. The
person who MIXED those COWS evidently had
an liberated hand which he or she dressed
with iodoform ointment | tt 1t is an inter
esting question how many COWS are MIXED by
liberated hands, on which the ~tell-tale iodo-
form is not used. Taking the most favourable
view of the mode by which that milk got the
iodoform faint, the person who MIXED the
COW must have at least been dressing their
own or some one else's sores with the remedy.
Iodoform is used here for only one thing-very
foul ulcers"
Wei might we ask ourselves after reading
such disclosures, -are we in British Guiana
more happily situated than our friends in st.
Kits. Our contemporary c~riticises the posi-

Berne, Feb. 6.-News of a terrible disaster
comes from the village of Ruetti, Canton
Glarus. A large number Of men were at work
cutting wood ON the side of a mountain near
that village, when suddenly a rumbling, crash
ing sound was heard, and before many of the
men could escape an avalanche Numbered down
upon the wood cutters, burying twenty-five of
them beneath a mass of snow, ice, rocks and
trees. Every effort is being made by the
nsighbouring villagers to rescue the men who
may be alive and to recover the bodies of the
dead. Up to the present, however only three
bodies have been reoovered.-Ibid.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 5.-The National alli-

peared in the Washington Post this morn

ence doesn't care anything about Mckinley,

of defeating Senator Sherman. President
Simpson arrived in Washington last night,
and it is supposed that Polk is the man who
outlined the alliance programme in opposi-

are to take the stump in Ohio. AS between

BENJAMIN franklin bolongei,to an era in
which political economy was practically
unknown, and when there was a general
disposition to exalt the homemade at tho
expense of the foreign and to decry all in
diligence in luxuries. Yet no could not
shut his eyes to an obvious fact that went
to demonstrate the practical advantage of
letting people judge of their own necessities
and removing all obstacles to free exchange.
He tells the following story:
The skipper of a shallop, employed be-
tween Cape May and Philadelphia, had

ing that he had n daughter. sent iser n pre-
sent of q new-fnshioned cap. Three years
after, this skipper being at my house with

gregation." How SOP" when my
daughter appeared will it at meeting it
was SO much admired that all the girls re-
solved to get such caps from Philadelphla;
and my wife and I computed that the
whole could not have cost less than 2l00."
''Irus," said the farmer, ''bnt you do not
tell all the story. l think the cap
was nevertheless an advantage to us,
for it was the first thing that
put our girls upon knitting worsted
mittens for sale at Philadelphia,
that they might have wherewithal to buy
caps and ribbons; and you know that in
dustry has continued, and id likely to con.
tinue and increase to a much greater value

whole, l was more reconciled to this little
pieoa of luxury, since not only the girls
were made happier by having fine caps, but
the Philadelphians by a supply of warm
mittens.
