Narrowing accounts are given of starva-
ton in Russia, from the failure of crops. In
addition to the suffering from famine an enor-
nous number of unusually disastrous fires
have occurred in the famine-stricken districts.
The inhabitants of the burning villages, weak
from lack of food, made no attempt to check
the fires but stood listlessly by while their
dwellings burned. The cattle plague has
also caused immense havoc. Thousands of
cattle have died and many families have thus
lost their only means of subsistence. The
famine is 80 great that the unfortunate pea
SAINTS consider bread made Of finely.chopped
straw mixed with a little bran, great
luxury. In many places they have been re-
duced to eating the most horrible messes to
keep themselves alive. Notwithstanding the
distress of these poor people the government
continues to exact taxes from them; the tax
collectors flogging them with the knout to
enforce collection.

The Tin Mine Humbug.

The Mckinley bill imposes high tariff
on tin for the avowed purpose Of encourag-
ing the development of mines of this useful
metal which were said TO exist in Dakota,
Wyoming and California. Before the law
went into operation its pernicious effects
were felt by Gamers in higher prices ex-
torted from them for cans, and they have
been anxiously looking for the result prom
ised from the tin tariff, of development Of
rich tin mines, the product of which would
give employment to American industry,
drive all foreign tin from the market and
cheaper the article. Their hopes, it seems,
are doomed to disappointment and the only
result has been to increase the cost of pack
ing their goods while the price has not ad-
vanced
1t was announced with a great flourish in
the protectionist newspapers that in the
Black Hills of Dakota and Wyoming there
existed the richest quartz tin mines in the
world. Strange to say these remarkable tin
mines have not yet been developed and can
ners can see no prospect of benefit from pay
ing higher prices for their tin cans. The
tin, if it exists at all in the locality named,
must be in such small quantities that it would
not pay to mine it. That this supposition
has some reason to support it is shown in
the fact that Professor Claypool, of Akron,
Ohio, one of the editors of the american
Geologsst, has recently visited the Black Hills
and made search for the wonderful tin
mines. He writes;
"There is scarcely enough ore taken from
all the mines together to keep stamp mill
of fair size at work." The enterprise of max
ing American tin plate, according to Profess
sor Claypool, is in suspense and it is difficult
to say what the next move will be.
Similar glowing accounts were given of
the tin mines in California, which were said
to yield from four to six tons of pig tin a
day. 1t was stated, jubilantly, that these
mines gave employment to $50 men and had
orders ahead for 100000 worth oftin. These
tin mines, it is said, are about to be closed,
whether from the failure of the ore or the
discovery that there is no duty on pig tin at
present. and therefore they can not be work
ed in competition with foreign mines. Only
eleven tons were taken from this mine up to
July LIST. The production is lessening and
one of the managers says work will proba-
bly, soon cease altogether. In addition to
all this, the Baltimore Sun, from which our
information is chiefly derived, says the mines
are owned by Englishmen and controlled in
London.
"Thus perishes," adds the Sun, "the last
hope of getting tin in 1894 without paying a
duty of $500 ton on it."
How can any cauner support the ticket oil
q party which has established such grind
ing tax on his business? The tariff on tin
was not needed by the government. The ef.
feet of it could only be to further embarrass
and depress the growing American industry
of canning, and it was imposed merely to en-.
rich favored few at the expense of every
Gamer and every householder in the coun.

was entered through the transom, at one o'clock
at night, but the burglar was detected by Mr..
II. Levy, who fired pistol, the rogue having
tried to visit MIR. Levys store before going to
Mr.. McFadden's.
A few nights afterwards thieves gained admit
lance into the store of Mr.. Gross, by making
two large holes in the door, one to move the
bolt and the other to take large staple out.
They took their departure after obtaining the
money drawer.

Our Republican friends, we are told, are
industriously at work endeavoring to cut
down the Democratic majority in Hartford by
trading votes for the principal offices to be
filled this fall. Besides, where they find a
Democrat who has a personal grievance
against one of his party's candidates they
first try to induce him to vote for the Re-
publican nominee for the same office. Fail
ing in this they urge him to vote for the
Prohibition candidate. Democrats should
be on their guard and not yield to these en-
treaties. They must stand shoulder to
shoulder everywhere, this fall, in order to
secure a great victory for tariff reform by
the election, next year, of Democratic
President.

change which would be radical should be

At any rate our advice is to vote for this
Sixth Amendment and give the Legislature
the power to tax mortgages. In the multi
tude of counsellors there is safety and per-
haps practicable plan may be devised which
will equalize and thereby lessen the burden
of taxation upon the farmer.
We have every reason to believe that if
this amendment is passed the members of the
Senate and House of Delegates, including
those from this county, will consider the
question carefully and be sure they are right
before they go ahead.

way to cure deafness, and that is by constitu-

Eustachian Tube. When this tube gets inflamed
you have a rumbing sound or imperfect hearing.
and when it is entirely closed, DE- afDess is the
result, and unless the Inflammation can be taken
out and this tube restored to its normal conoi-
ton, hearing will be destroyed forever; nine
