The armored battle-ship Texas, which was launched Tuesday at the Norfolk yard, has been a long time building (three years), but she is the largest war-ship ever built in this country. She is a twin-screw ship of 6, 1885 tons displacement. Instead of being, like it's predecessors, some mod flied reproduction of foreign cruisers, the Texas was built on an original plan, which secured the $15,OOO prize offered by the secretary of the navy for the best design

 It is fortunate that this, our country, possesses such variety of physical con- ditions and diversity of resources. As it is, destruction of crops and calamity, even statewide, are at worst merely local. So vast is our area, so varied our supply, that, beyond the. tax on our sympathy, most serious distress in one part does not affect the other parts. Were we on the scenes of the terrific storms, floods and cloudburts which have devastated many parts of the west, we could realize the ex- tent of the damage. In Chickasaw eonn- ty, Iowa, neal the northern border, many lives have been lost, and the value of crops destroyed reaches into the millions. Suburban towns located on the little rivers about Chicago have also been food swept Should it prove, as feared, that the water supply of the western metrop- olis has been tainted, a serious experience awaits that city.

The gravity of the danger which threat ems us is not appreciated. 1 am amazed that the negro has been so patient under the intense persecution which he has had to endure. Since the proclamation of eman- cipation there have been more colofed men murdered by the whites in the south than there have been days in all the years which have elapsed.

A good deal of healthful promise is contained in the growing demand for small coins which comes from the south and west. It used to be regarded as sign of stinginess, in those quarters of the country, to regard nickels as worth taking in change, and the cent wasn't cir culated at all Now nickels are in uni versal use, and even the cent is beginning to be asked for in southern calls on the treasury. The change implies a change in habits of thought and life, which is of good omen for the business prosperity of the great mass of southern and western people.

very mild word to describe the sensation which men and women experience in pass ing along the walks of Main-st. Corners of streets and alley ways and other "hang- ing out'' places are occupied by a contin- gent of ill bred fellows whose gift in pro- fane and indecent speech is shocking, and shamefully over-worked. The most out rageous profanity, coupled with obscene remarks, are heard dozens of times day by any one who is obliged to pass along the walks, and ladies have their ears sa- luted with it. That it is purposely insult ing no one believes; but that it is refec- tion of gross i'll breeding is patent to every one.
 The nuisance complained of by the Journal is not confined to Willimantic. Worst of all, it is a growing one, and has ceased to be the novelty it once was. Of. ten through the open doors of the church. es on Sunday comes boisterous and un- seemly language while services are i1 progress. People living on the main streets complain that in warm weather certain points on the sidewalk are made regular rendezvous until after midnight and that persons who have to sleep with windows open must also duling half the night hear profane and obscene language from loafers-often more or less intoxi. cated.
 A new move in the granite troubles was made at Quincy, Mass, last Satur. day, when the Quarrymen's Union offered the following proposition to the Manufac. turers' Association:
 1. Nine hours shall constitute days work for six days week.
 2. The average rate of wages for pTac tical quarrymen shall be 23 cents pei hour.
 3. Pay day shall be on or before the 18th day of each month.
 4. This bill to remain in force unti March, 1, 1894; any changes to be made by either party at the expiration of this time, three months previous notice shal be given; should no notice of exchange be given by either party, this bill to re ludlu III 1OlCO lWO y0thI6 1OuS0I.
 This is compromise between Jan. and May 1, and is practically four-years bill. Indications point toward settle. ment of the granite troubles, for it is un. derstood that many of the manufacturers are in favor of accepting the proposition
 That part of the republican platform which is called the "force bill" plank reads as follows:
 We demand that every citizen of the United States shall be allowed to cast one free and unrestricted ballot in all public elections, and that such ballot shall be counted and returned as cast that such laws shall be enacted and enforced as will secure to every citizen, be he rich ol poor, native or foreign born, white ol black, this sovereign right guaranteed by the constitution. The free and honest popular ballot, the just and equal rep. resentation of the people, as we'll as theil just and equal protection under the laws are the foundation of our republican in. stitutions, and the party will never relax it's efforts until the integrity of the ballot and the purity of elections shall be fully guaranteed and protected in every state.

Mir.

THIS years gathering and dinner of the alumni of Monson academy was perhaps the most interesting ever held. It was presided over by Rev. MT. Dinsmore, of Willimantic, whose quick perception and ready wit in calling up the different stu dents of by-gone days was an inspiration to each one called upon, and each of these in turn to the others Old incidents were re-told and in most cases lost none of the original interest in. the retouches giv- en. Though all was an expression of love and loyalty to the old alma mater, which bodes good to it's future. Particu- larly warm were the references to Rev. James Tufts, a former principal, who was present, and hearty was the greeting giy- en the venerable school-master when called out. An educational institution must look largely to it's alumni for guar antee of its future, and Monson graduates will look forward to future alumni din- ners with greater interest after this years enjoyable experience. So will the guests permitted to partake with them.

Tn the July number of Harper's Mag azine the opening paper, by Charles D. Deshler, relates How the Declaration was Received in the old Thirteen,n being a history, from public documents and other contemporary sources, of the man. ner in which the Declaration of Inde- pendence was published in the colonies and how it was regarded by the people, It is appropriately illustrated, with nu- merous characteristic pictures by Howard Pyle Another article is Henry Loomis Nelson's exposition of the causes which have promoted "The Growth of the Fed eral Power' in this country, and which have gradually strengthened the authority of the central government while diminish ing that of the state. Brander Matthews contributes valuable article, "As to American Spelling, ," defending the usage of Americans against the aspersions of the British critics. John Heard, Jun. s story, Captain John QS14,") gives 8 thrilling account of the sea-fght between. British men-of-war and the American privateer, General Armstrong, at Fayal, in the Azores.

Raton Woodville, the distinguished Eng fish artist, describes 'sThe Capture of Wild Elephants in Mysore' upon the oc- casion of the late Prince Albert Victor's visit to India. stFrom the Black Forest to the Black Seap is continued by F. D., Millet, with illustrations from his own drawings and those of Alfred Parsons. Cyril Humphreys-D -Davenport's article on sAncient Gold-work' is appropriately illustrated.

Wilkins's delightful novel, "Jane Field" is also continued, and is accom- panied by full-page Illustration drawn by w. T. Smedley.
