terrible social commissions, the destruction Of
civilization or the establishment of an absolute
despotism. In this c.isis of human affairs the
intelligent working people and producers Of the

We declare our union and Independence. We

We charge that the controlling influences
dominating the old political parties have al
lowed the existing dreadful conditions to de-
velop without serious effort to restrain or pre-
vent them. Neither do they intend to accom-
plish reform. They have agreed together to
ignore in the coming campaign every issue but
one. They propose to down the outcry of q
~plundered people with the uproar Of
q sham battle over the tariff; that
corporations, national banks, rings,
trusts, "watered stock" tbs demonstration of

Russian merchants do very little al.
verlising, principally because the
great majority of the humber classns
cannot read, aud the Boston transcript
observes that this is not to be wondered
at, as there are thirty-six letters in the
Russian alphabet, which seem to have
the combined difficulties of the Greek,
Chinese and Arabian characters. The
signs OIL the stores III Russia are
mostly pictorial; for instance, the
dairy signs are cows; the tea signs

other, etc. Russia uses more candles
than any other country, $4,000, 900
pounds a year being the estimate. y
large part of these are made in houses
instead of large factories. One csti-
mate states that rs, 900 men make
$3.50, ,000 900 worth of goods in their
own homes. The fine shawls known
as "ring shawls" are made entirely by
hand by the peasants Of Oremburg,
and Russian laces, velvcts, carpets,
bronzes, siverwarc and enamel ware
are beautifully made, somo of these
things being The finest in the world.

in that exciting period of history, and as
there was nothing lacking in the number
and extent Of the crimes committed by the
ambitious rulers in those days, his pen
has found enough material at hand to not
only give us something new in this line, but
much that will prove startling to those
who have never read the his
tory of Constantine l., who dis
tingulshed himself by his military
talents under Diocletian aud subsequently
under Galerius in the Persian war The
tragedy, as ! have been briefly informed,
relates to that period when there was great
strife for power, there being no less than
six emperors in the field for Roman honors
and the consequent plotting and counter
plotting which followed have no doubt is
woven into the story Of "Amtyllus" with q
master hand. The pay will be presented
with a star cast.

Veterans with Queer Wounds.

There were some veterans with
queer records in attendance ut the re-
cent encampment One of these,
known familiarly as Comrade Chase,
who served in a Maine battery during
the war, carried the scars of forty
eight wounds received in a single bat
tie, that of Gettysburg. His numerous
wounds resulted from the explosion
of spherical case immediately in
front Of him at that memorable battle.
Corporal John Burns, of Ohio, re-
Ceives q pension for u peculiar wound
which is described in the pension
bureau as "shot in the hip with n bar
rel of sugar"
Burns, says the Washington Post,
was ON guard duty at a sharp railroad
curve in Virginia during the latter
part Of the war, and was struck in the
hip and disabled by II barrel Of sugar
which was thrown suddenly from the
rickety car by the momentum at the
turn in the road Another veteran
who is present j. recorded in the bu-
rcau as having stopped II cannon ball
with his abdomen. lilo was sitting III
a tent near headquarters when spent
cannon ball came bounding along and
struck him in the stomach with suffl-
force TO knock him hors de combat,
but not to kill him.
Still another queer case is that OF
Pcnnsylvanian veteran. He was rem
dercd totally deaf by II cannon ball
which whizzcd by his head In un-
comfortably close proximity at the
battle of Malvern Hill. In describing
the sensation afterwards lie said it
felt for an instant ~ if fifty cyclones
had burst loose about his head. The
conclusion also paralyzed Inn for
several minutes. There is another
pensiouer who receives a monthly al
lowance from Uncle Sans till for
"horse bite of the neck" He was
cavalryman. and claims TO have been
bitten by vicious animal while serv-
ing with Sheridan in his valley ride.
The bite resulted in partial paralysis
of the spine. These are but few
illustrations of the various and multi
tudnous pecuharitics of war which
were represented at the grand army
encanpmcnt.

Secretary J. b. Harrison Of the
New Hampshire Forestry Commission
In an address 10 the people of that
state offers to speak wherever meet.
ing can be arranged OIL the subject of
the waste of New IIampshire's natural
resources, by which he means the de-
struction of its forests. He hopes by
arousing the people to the danger of
losing eventually their "summer busi-
ness" to evert a pressure on the Legis-
lature that will result in the passage
of laws for tho protection and preser-
yation of the woodlands. "lt is time,"
he declares, "for some advance in the
methods OF discussion Of forestry and
related subjects. The course hitherto
generally followed in this country by
writers aud speakers OIL these topics is
inadequate 70, our situation here. We
shall have 20 get down from our
rhetorical stills pretty soon and face
the facts in the case, or we shall not
have much grand and beautiful
scenery to talk about" Mr.. Harrison

York Post, merely by sentimental
motiyes. IA the lumbermen might
term his love for the scenic beau
ties of New Hampshire. lie also
points out that with the devastation OF
the forests tho watercourscs must
dwindle ani dry up and the manufac-
hiring interests of tho state suffer M
calculable loss. Mr.. Harrison ap-

The Municipal Contest.

The next, and probably the most exciting
campaign, will be the municipal contest,
which Is already engrossIng the attention Of
politicians. Mayor Matthews Is working
hard to be his own successor, and will prob
ably be successful. He has lately been very
Jealous in the matter Of street cleaning and
sprucing things up generally, which is
highly commendsble, but whether
this will placate the dlsgruntled
element of his party to such
a degree as to secure his nomination remains
TO be seen. Boston seems to be short Of
mayoralty timber, not because OF inability to
Hll the office but because few men can be
found who affiliate with that strong political
element necessary to their success. There
are pleuty Of men here who would make eX-
ceIlent mayors, aud in case dark horse
should find favor in the nominating
convention, why could not the present
head of the fire department, Hon.
Robert G.. Fitch be nominated? He Is
An able man In every respect, has had a
large and influential newspaper experience,

graduate of Williams College, and, II mis-

The quiet national campaign Is at last
ended aud While there may be those who
are diSheartened and foreboding over the
result, We can all take heart from the fact
that Just such things have happened time
anu again, and yet the country has survived
ana Is more prosperous today than at any
other period of its history. When the Dem.
ocrats are out OF Office they are given an op.
portunity for calamity shreking which they
no not fail to improve, and now that the

can stand by with their hands in their poc'

come, when the country wi 20 to the dogs.
This, as have often before remarked, has
been campaign Of intelligence. and we are
all bound by the fundamental principles OF
our government to respect the will of the
majority. That win has been unmistakably
expressed in the choice Of Mr..
Cleveland, and as good citizens
We should strengthen his hands in the work
Of giving us an administration which will
continue the era Of prosperity upon which
we have SO lately entered, and which be-
lIeve is largely due to the protection of Am
e-ican industries. II we do not owe our
thrift to that source, the true cause should
be sought out with state esmanlke intelligence

The Mechanics Fair,

This fine exhibition Is now at the height
Of its success, and from present indications,
Its financial results will be largely i'll excess
of its previous trennial, which was the most
gratifying one the association had ever
known. Many new features have
been introduced this year which
make the incidental entertainments OF more
than usual interest, aud as natural con.
sequence the great building is tbronged at
all hours OF the day on which the exhibition
is open to the public. The fairs Of the Mas
>aChuSetts Charitable Mechanic Association
have come to be to New England what
those OF the American Institute are
to the city Of New York. The high
character of those connected with the en-
tCrprise and the recognized scientific knowl
ed .e of those sclt ctod as judges in the seye
r Il departments Of at and industrial manu-
lectures attaches a value to its awards high
ly priced by competitors, and which no doubt
are found Of great service in the upbuilding OF
private and corporate affairs. This is PROV
Ing greater incentive each year to cNhibi-
tors, aud the extent and variety of the dis
plays are correspondiugIy increased, the

News Notes.
The oft repeated assertion that cher
fies cannot be grown in Southern Cali
fornia is myth, at least as far as La
Cafiada is concerned, for J. L. Lanter-
man of that place sends into the cham
ber of commerce clusters of as fine cher
ries as were ever sent from the north,
with the statement that he has an acre
and half OF trees that are loaded, from
two Of which he yesterday picked 200
pounds, and 60 heavily are they loaded
that it is hard to tell that any have been
taken from them. Several ranchers in
the same neighborhood report equally
as good output.
Mr.. Baldridge of Covina paid the
chamber Welt yesterday, and reported
that he had just finished shipping his
first crop of strawberries this season,
the sum total of which amounts to IL
600 pounds, the majority of which were
disposed of in Denver, at very salts
factory prices. He also reported that
there had been shipped from the Asuza
valley fifty-four tons of Strawberries
this season, and that the second crop is
equally as promising as the FIRST, the
shipments from which will begin in
about two weeks.
Persons interested in the worlds fair
work will please bear in mind the gen.
eral meeting that will be held in the
chamber of commerce rooms, Tuesday
June 7th, at 1890.
