Famine in Finland.

BERLIN, Jan. 2.--The peasantry of Finland, and especially those of the Northeast, are suffering for want of food, and have sent appeals to Swollen for relief. Although tue crops have been short in Sweden, there is a move ment in favor of helping the Films owing to the strong attachment between the two nations, which has survived the annexation of Finland to Russia. The Russian auth OritieS are said to be dis pleased at this action on the part of the Films, as tending to revive associations which Russia has done her utmost to efface. The Swedes, on the contrary, are pleased to see Finland looking to them in the time of distress

OUR NEW MONITOR.
The Milan ton Omoh Will Test Her Guns
 at Gardiner's Bay

The Milan ton Omoh Will Test Her Guns
 at Gardiner's Bay.
 NEW YORK, Jan. 2.-The monitor Mianton omoh, under command of Capt. Montgomery Sicard, has left the Brooklyn Navy Yard under orders from the Navy Department to test the ten different guns which constitute her armament.
 The chief interest in the monitors s movements lies in the fact that the test about to be made is the first one in the history of the United States Navy where long rifles such as the Miantonomoh carries have been mount ed and fired on board coast defence vessel.
 To many minds this test is not with out danger to the gunners and others on the monitor. There is always the danger of explosion, albeit the guns have been previously tested on shore.
 There are four ten-inch breecA- loading guns, two each being placed in the fore and aft turrets; two three- pounder Hotchkiss revolving cannons, and two of the new Driggs-Schroeder rapid fire guns. The last namel are new inven- tions of American naval officers.
 CBpt. Sicard says that the guns will not be fully tested until Monday or Tuesday next.
 When the test is completed the Milan tonomoh will return to Brooklyn and Capt. Sicard will send his report to Washington.

Stories of Impending HostIlltles the
 Work of Sensation NTonSers.
 WASHINGTON, June 2-There are no unusual preparations on foot in the Navy Department, the War Department, the navy yards or the arsenal in this city There has been some apparent ground for the current stories of un- usual activity in the navy yards and about the plants of firms engaged in building cruisers and supplying the Government with munitions of W IT, but analysis in each case soon disp.ls the impression that these things are going on as part of the preparations for hos tilities with Chilli.
 Just at present the Cramps, of Phila- delphia, are urging the Government to pay them large sum for work on the new cruisers, which they guarantee to finish within few days. If not com pleted within a specified time the pay ments will be delayed 30 days or more, and Tor this reason work is being expe- dited at the ship yards, though ut no unusual pace. The same thing is true regarding the Bethlehem Iron Works and Carnegie, PnippS & Co.,, of Pitts burg The companies are hard at work furnishing deck-plates for the cruiser New York, which are now some days behind the contract date.
 These are fair samples of the incidents which have been seized upon by seusa- tion mongers to startle the country with stories of impending hostilities. They are of piece with the report that Gen. Miles had been ordered to Washington to take charge of the land campaign against Chilli, when, as a matter of fact, the general had arrived unofficially and accompanied by his wife to attend the wedding of his niece.

A WAsHINGToN newspaper man tells us that the late Senator Plumb answered over 3O,OOO letters a year. Senator Manderson says: "A jury would probably find that Senator Plumb was killed by his correspondents" ." While congress was in session MT Plumb's letter mail never dropped be- low 100 a day, and often it reached 200 a day. All letters were answered. Less than week before he died he arose one morning and dictated the answers to 105 letters before he went out to his breakfast.

The people at the Worlds Dispensary of Buffalo, N. Y., have. a stock taking time once a year and what do you think they do? Count the number of bottles that's been returned by the men and women who say that Dr Pierce's golden medical discovery or Dr Pierce's favorite prescription didn't do what they said it would do.
 And how many do you think they have to count. One in ten? Not one in five hundred
 Here are two remedies-one the "gol- den medical discovery" for regulating ing the blood; the other, the hope of weakly womanhood; they've been sold for years, sold by the million bottles; sold under a positive guarantee, and not not the medicine for me! and-is there any reason why you should be the one? And-supposing you are, what do you lose? Absolutely nothing

OUR esteemed contemporary, The Morning Punster, oversteps the bounds of fairness in it's denunciation of Senator Hill of New York. Mir Hill is a democrat, and he makes no bones about it. The highest tribunal in the state of New York has decided that the claims of Governor Hill ill the contested cleo tion cases were in accordance with the facts. There was no attempt to ''steal the state" The democrats of the empire state simply demanded justice. In common fairness the attacks on the ex-governor of the state should cease. The state of New York gave a demo- cratic majority of nearly 5O,OOO at the recent election, and there is no question that both branches of the legislature , would be even more strongly demo- cratic than they are, but for the inten- tional neglect of the republicans to obey the constitution, which provides for census of the people and an ap- portionment of the representation of the state thereon once in ten years. This census should have been taken in 1885, but the republican legislature refused to allow it, knowing that it would make New York a democratic state without peradventure.

The 9e1nncrat.
WATERBURY, CONN.

REPRESENTATIVE SPRINGER says he has received many letters from all sections of the country, commenting his plan of attacking the Mckinley tariff bill in sections, by means of separate bills providing for the amendment or outright repeal of the worst sections of that law. Mir Springer thinks that the committee on ways and means will re- port a number of the separate tariff bills early in the session, and that they will be put through the house without any unnecessary delay.
Waterbury evening Democrat., 1892-01-02

ANOTHER tariff lesson: In 1890 when the Mckinley tariff bill was under con sideration, John B. Talcott, president of the American Hosiery Co of New Bri- tain, appeared before the ways and means committee, and advocated higher duties on hosiery and underwear, and expressed solicitude for the welfare of employees of hosiery factories. The dnties were largely increased and now MT Talcott's company has given it's em- ployes New Years gift in the shape of a general reduction of ten per cent.

THE republicans cannot hide the anxiety they feel about MT Blaine's in tentions; they want to know just what he intends doing, in order that they may trim their sails accordingly, and all sorts of devices have been resorted to in the hope of getting the willy secretary of state to declare himself. At a dinner party this week, attended by a score of senators and representatives belonging to the republican party, it was decided te send an embassy to Mir Blaine, in the person of w. w. Dudley, who, ever since his falling out with MT Harrison, has been an ardent Blaine man, with a request for positive yes or no as to his becoming his party's candidate. Dudley called on Mir Blaine and devoted almost an hour in the most persuasive argu- ments he knew how to make, and left as wise as when he came. Mir Blaine declined to commit himself.
