THEY'LL HAVE RAIN OR BLOOD,

How the Mexican People Manage to Avert
Drought.
Cry IF MEXICO. July 24.-The action of
the Mexican government in it's movement
coward confscating the property of the
Catholic church in this country can be ap-
preoiated in a degree whom it is known to
what absurd extremes the ignorant Mexican
officials will 60 on some occasions. Some
days ago at Torreon, on the Mexican Cen
trail railway, q man was brought to the
station all cut and hacked to pieces. He
had been taken for a conjurer and was be-
ing punished for causing the severe drought
there last year. This, however, is not a
marker to what was done at Castanas a few
days Ago.. In the department of Castanas
the Q had been no ain for nearly a year
and people were brought to such a pass
that they were actually dying of thirst, to
say nothing of the total destruction OF ali
crois and other agricultural industries. Ell
Pueblo Catolico of New San Salvador,
prints a number Of resolutions promulgated
by the principal a'calde of the town and
department of Castanas. They are as fol-
lows:
considering that the Supreme Creator
has not behaved we'll in this province, us in
the whole of last year only one shower Of
rain fell, that in this summer, notwith-
standing all the PROFESSIONS. prayers IND
praises, it has not Iained at all, and con-
sequently the crops of Castanas, on which
depend the prosperity Of the whole de-
partnent, are entirely ruined, it Is decreed:
Article If within the persmptory period
Of eight days from date of this decree rain
does not fail abundantly no one will 90 to
mass or say prayers.
Article 2-If the drought continues eight
more the churches and chapels shall
bs bnrned and missals, ~rosaries and other
objects of devotion shall be destroyed.
Article 3-lf, finally, in a third period of
eight days it shall not rain. all the priests
frlars, nuns and saints. male and female,
will be beheaded. and for tho present per.
mission is given for tho commission of all
sorts of sin, in order that the Supreme
Creator may understand with whom lie has
to deal"
The most remarkable feature of this affair
10 the fact that four days after these resu-
lutlons were Eassed the HEAVIEST rainfall
known for years was piecipitated on the
burning ~communitv.

SENATOR TELLER. of Colorado, who

IN the senate and at Minneapolis, is
squarely back In the traces working for
Harrison's reelection. He says, "the

bill will be reported, and it will BASS,
too. Its defeat this session will have no
material effect in Colorado, which will
go republican by the usual majority.

The latest campaign h%umbuggery
from the republican organs ia the pro
mitigation Of figures showing a great in
crease in our exports under the Mckin-
ley law. They are very careful not to
give the explanation. 1t is simply that
the failure OF the European grain crops
last year caused an unprecedented de-
mand for American bread stuffs. With
this item deducted, it will be found that
our total exports have materially fallen
off. The Mckinley tariff had nothing
to do with increased exports of Ameri-
a wheat. It did, however, prevent the
American farmer from exchanging his
grain for cheap necesssries Of life abroad
and took his profits from him to put into
the pockets Of American manufacturers.

BE JUST, NEIGHBOR.

The St.Johnsbury Republican, which
intends to be right in political ques-
lions, has in this canvass, as we and
many Of its best friends believe, taken
= course in regard to Col. Fuller as
candidate for governor which is un-
lind, if not absolutely unjust. Realiz-
/hg, probably, that the feeling among
men best acquainted with Mr.. Fuller in
st. Johnsbury is really in his favor, the
paper is keeping up fusillade with the
Spent ammunition of other papers,
much to its own discredit and to no
possible purpose. With Col. Fair
banks out of the field, ST. Johnsbury
ind Caledonia county will naturally
support Fuller. The very same rea-
|spns for friendship and support which
.the Republican presented in favor of
Col. Fairbanks, can with equal propri-
ETY. be urged in favor of Colonel
Fuller. Both are men of good
natural ability, both men of large
business experience, benevolent,
public spirited, genial, popular, thor
pughly good; both of them interest
I'd in great manufacturing interests
which have largely helped to build up
their towns; both doing a business in
Vermont which probably might be
|earried on to much greater profit
nearer the seaboard or in large cities;
both experienced in matters of legis-
|1ation and familiar with the affairs of
the state. Neither the Republican or
Rny other paper which supported
Col Fairbanks has reason for dispar-
aging Col. Fuller, and when it is done
there is bias of some sort that the
Rditor does not reveal. To our per-
Bonal knowledge many of the best re-
Publicans of ST. Johnsbury give, and
will give, hearty support to Col.
FULLER, while they regret the foolish
! md unjust course of the Republican.
