Wonderful Growth CT Electric Travel.
Only twelve years have elapsed since
tAe first crude suggestions Of the prac-
tiaal working OF an electric railway were
made, and four years ago a list of
dozen would comprise every such road
III the world in even passably successful
operation, whatever the method of ap-
plication The first large commercial
electric railway was, after many difficult
ties and disc0uragements, opened in the
early part of 1888 at Richmond, Va,
and since that demonstration was made
the industry has grown until there are
now in operation or under contract, on
the general lines laid down at Richmond,
not less than $50 roads IN the United
States. Europe. Australia and Japan, re
qllling more than 1900 cars and 1000
motors, with more than 5000 miles Of
track, adaily mileage of nearly coo, 600
miles. and carrying nearly billion pas
sengers annually. Fully 10000 people
are employed on these roads, and there
has never been an authenticated report
of death on account Of the electrical
pressure used. Over 500 900, coo are in
vested in this industry in this country
alone.--Frank J. Sprague in Forum.

POISON.
The Devilish Work Of u Chinese
Cook at sadIer's Ranch.

N Devilish Work Of u Chinese
Cook as sadIer's Ranch.
Five men employed on R. Sadler' ranch,
at Sulphur Station, this county, narrowly
escaped death by poison on Tuesday night
last. They were George Woods and foul
others whose names were not given us.
Arsenic in large quantities had been put
in the sugar. George Woods began eating
his supper q little in advance OF the others
and got the worst dose Of the poison. II
was the overdose that he got that
saved them all. When be began to drink
his tea he noticed that II had q bitter taste.
Then ID occurred to him that possibly he
had not sweetened it. and he put in more
sugar. 1t was still bitter. He next put
sugar and milk on a plate OF rice and be-
gan eating that. This too had q bitter
taste. A moment later nausea sat In, and
he ran to the door to relieve himself by
vomiting. There were two small puppies
in the door yard. One OF them Tapped the
milk and rice that Woods had emitted,
and was seized with convulsions and died
in q few minutes. This told the story,
and there was great alarm among the vic.
Tins. They rightly conjectured that the
poison must be in the sugar, and 10 test
the fact fed a small quantity to the other
puppy. He too quivered and expired in q
few minutes. The boys were all sick, but
Woods was much the worst. They used
such antidotes as they possessed, and all
hands managed to pull through, though
Woods still looks badly. He came in We'd
nesday night and placed himself under
medical treatment. The other boys got
less OF the poison, and consequently es-
capped with less injury. Samples Of the
sugar brought in and left with the Sheriff
show plainly the crystals Of arsenic In
great p~rofusion. The cause Of all the
trouble is supposed to be Lee Ling, = Chi.
nese cook. After working 33 days on the
ranch he was discharge and came to town
last Saturday. Mr.. sadler paid him of
on Sunday and he took the Blackboard for
Palissde Monday night. The Blackboard
stops at the sulphur Station on the way
down. II is believed that Lee Ling put
the poison In the sugar At this time. Either
this, or he had put II in the sack ana not
in the bowl before leaving the ranch, in
order TO give himself time to get out Of ihe
country. As to the motive for the crime
that Is not so clear. II will be remem-
bered that a Chinese cook committed sui.
eide on this same ranch a few months ago.
That Chinaman was a cousin Of Lee Ling.
II is said that Lee Ling assumed TO believe
that his cousin had been foully dealt with,
and made threats that he would get even.
At all events be did not gel along agree.

The few Alliance men in the South
who are giving their attention to plans
to prevent "over production" OF cotton
might attain better results in efforts to
promote ~cheapness Of production. Many
experiments have proved that combina.
tions among farmers to regulate the acre.
age given to any one crop are impossible.
Their only course is to study economy OF
production, avoid all debts that are not
absolutely necessary, and strive after such
financial independence as willrelieve them
from the necessity Of ~mortgaging their
crop before it is made or OF selling it as
soon as il is made. By practising these
virtues and voting straight every time
against the monopoly tariff which robs
them, the farmers will come out all right.

MCKINLEY LOSING HOPE.

At the recent meeting OF the Execu.
tive Committee Of the National Repub-
lican Committee q letter was read from
Major Mckinley appealing for pecuniary
aid, saying that it would be impossible
to carry Ohio without such aid, and com
planning that his applications to the pro-
tected manufacturers of Pennsylvania
for assistance had met with no responses.
At least it was published at the time
that such a letter was read, although 1t
was denied by newspapers claiming to
be on the inside. Now comes confrma-
tion in the statement that Mckinley has
visited the Pittsburg manufacturers in
person and informed them that unless
they contribute $40, 900 to his campaign
fund he will be defeated and thus the
great Buckeye State will ~repudiate the
principle of protection and give the death
blow to Republioanism. 1t is also re-
ported that the manufacturers did not
respond with any sort Of generosity, and
some of them went so far as to say that
so much fat had been fried out Of them
for political purposes that they were EN-.
barrassed and would have to call a halt
in giving until they could.recuperate.
This would indicate that the situation
is desperate with Mckinley, SO desperate
in fact that he regards his election as
little else than hopeless. The price of
wool has gone down SO much under the
operation Of his bill that the s~heep-own.
ers have deserted Mckinley and are
working for Campbell. But there is an
other element in the business which is
troublesome. Mckinley is the candidate
and representative OF the administration.
and is therefore supposed to represent
the anti-Blsine ring of the Republican
party. The Executive Committee Of the
National Republican Committee is for
Blaine as against Harrison and everybody
else, and it is known that Blaine does
not like the new protective law which he
has publicly and privately denounced on
numerous occasions. 1t would not be
grievous to the Maine statesman were
Mckinley defeated, and il is not at all
unlikely that the Executive Committee
would be quite as highly pleased as Mr..
Blaine to see the champion of high taxes
and the Harrison administration shelved.

rLowEx FOR SOvERNOR OF
NEW Work..

The Democratic Central Committee OF
New York held = meeting the other day
and resolved to call the Democratic State
Convention together at Saratoga on the
18th Of next month. The papers indi-
cate that Hon. Roswell 2. Flower has a
practical walk over for the nomination
for Governor, and being popular with
the people and acceptable to both the
Clevelsnd and Hill factions. though 3
little closer to the Hill crowd, can hardly
fail OF an election by q great majority.
And what then Flower is as good, II
not better, Presidential timber than
either Cleveland or Hill. II we are forced
TO 20 to New York for 8 candidate, which
is the wrong thing to do, and Flower
comes out Of the Gubernatorial race with
flying colors why not Flower for Presi-
dent Z! Flower is a bimetallist Of the on
sentative type, but we are certain that
he would be with US in free coinage
to the extent at least Of coiniug the en-
tire American product. Il will be well
to keep an eye on Flower as the days
lead up to the great struggle OF 1892.
Come to think OF it, it might not be such
a struggle after all. Suppose Flower
should carry New York. Campbell Ohio,
and Boies Iowa, how could our friends
on the other side hope to muster courage
enough to hold a convention, much less
make q campaign The whole thing
would be settled a year in advance, for
all Of these State fights this year will
turn largely on national issues. The tariff
is being fought as hard in these elections
as it will be in the Presidential election
a year hence. 1t is hardly possible that
any State will reverse it's position. AS
they 20 this year 80 they will next. The
Eastern press of all shades Of opinion are
attaching this much Importance and sig
nificance to these local battles. The
States will determine the Presi-
dency this Fall, and the interest already
aroused lie tremendous and still growing.
Everything will be politics from this on.

MINERAL LANDs-NEw RULING.

Acting Secretary Chandler, of the De-
partment Of the Interior, has made a new
decision which will materially change the
practice Of the department as to agricul-
tural entries which are subsequently,
found to be mineral in character. The
Acting Secretary holds that in order to
defeat agricultural entry on the ground
Of mineral character Of land, 1t must be
shown that the mineral was known to
exist at the time OF entry. Heretofore
the practice has been to cancel sgricul.
tural entries where mineral was discov-
cred at any time prior to issuance Of
patent.-White Pine News.
The ruling is Department made law
and should not be the law Of the land.
Congress has forever exempted the min
eral lands from sale except in the man
ner prescribed in the United States min
ing law. Il is the grossest t~omfoolery
for q mere Department clerk tosay that
title to them can be passed in any other
form. Miners have rights as we'll as
other people, though they are not often
recognized in any shape at Washington.
