The leaders of the Homestead strikers on Saturday put forth the following ulti- matum:
 "We are not weakening, and there will be no compromise so far as we are con- cerned. The only terms on which we will return to work are these: The con- pany must recognize the Amalgamated Associations, must agree to have the scale expire as heretofore on the last day of June of each year, and MT. Prick must resign the chairmanship. When these terms are agreed to and the company signs the scale, then, and not until then, will the Amalgamated men return to work. Let no one get the false notion into his head that we are weakening or seeking a compromise. We are just as firm and hopeful as ever."
 MT. Prick, chairman of the Carnegie company, is recovering from the murder ous assault upon him more rapidly than even his most sanguine friends anticipat- ed. If nothing unforeseen happens, he will return to his desk two weeks hence He is now giving to the business a gen. eral oversight from his sick room. The anarchist who assaulted him is held for trial, and two others are held without bail, charged with knowledge of the mur- der before the fact. One of the strikers has been denied bail, and is now impris- oned awaiting trial for leadership in the riot and the murder of one of the guards, and several others are out on bail.

David Johnson, spruce old colored man of Pomfret, who was on a big south ern plantation "befo' de wah," is teach ing his neighbors that cotton may be grown in Connecticut as successfully as s"way down south in Dixie." David has a little farm of his own. He has been trying vainly for several years to make people believe his cotton theory, and this year has verified it by growing cotton on his farm. His crop is small one, but it looks splendid. Johnson, who tended thousands of acres of cotton in the south, says that his plants are as luxuriant and promising as any that are raised in Dixie.

Trustee Sweetland of the Sprague es- tate at Providence is now paying the Sprague creditors final dividend of 3-20 per cent, making in all 27 3-2O per cent. for the creditors. The original creditors have in many cases passed away and their descendants are widely scattered. By the payment of this dividend the Cranston savings bank and the Franklin institu- tion for savings will receive funds they have been expecting ever since they were ruined by the fall of the Spragues in 1873, and to receive which they have remained in existence, and then the last dividends will be paid out by those institutions. They will be ready to wind up in the au- tumn, it is announced, the Franklin in- stitution with dividend which will make the total of it's payment nearly 90 per cent, and the Cranston bank with pay ment which approaches that proportion of the liabilities. According to the trust mortgage deed, the value of the Sprague estate was $2O, ,OOO, 600 and liabilities $14,- COG, ,000 due 125 creditors.

 THERE'S A BALANCE, And it isn't any feather-weight balance either; it is a good stiff balance in fla vor of every purchaser of our Closing Sale of Spring and Summer Clothing It is balance that we can make per- fectly clear to well-halanced minds. There is not much poetry in arithmetic, but it is wonderfully conclusive, Here's a little problem in figures which shows that comparisons are not always odious. Our prices are marked very much low CT on our broken suits, &c,, and when we say very much you will be surprised what that means. If you have par tiality for the right side of your fnan- cial ledger you will adorn it with that balance, and the quicker you are to recognize this as an offer without a parallel the quicker you will be to put that balance there.

THOSE newspapers which have been publishing the reports that the Temescal tin mines in California were ''giving out,' we have right to suppose, were innocent of intent to lie. They were simply mis- informed. The mines have shipped dur ing the past thirteen months 3S2, ,638 pounds of ingot tin, more than meeting the expense of opening and working. Manager Purcell says
 ''There is no sign of the ore giving out, but it shows more tin and richer quality than ever before. Increased shipments are being made every month and new ma- chinery is being added. About 100 men are constantly employed sinking shafts and taking out ore. There are a large number of lodes that have never yet been opened. The ore is there in great abun- dance and is being mined at profit"
 But what we cannot understand is the gleeful manner in which some papers have commented upon the false story of failure! These papers assume to be pa- triotie, to desire the growth of the coun- try and addition to it's record of prosper ity and wealth. And they openly exult over the assumed failure of the tin indus try.

 Above all other dates nearly every pu- pill in our public schools remembers that Columbus discovered America, October 12, 1492. They will all want to know why the Tooth anniversary falls on Octo- Der 21, 1892. For many centuries the calendar instituted by Julius Cesar, known as the Julian calendar, was con- monly accepted. This calendar assumed that there were 3654 days in a year. But as this made the year Il minutes and IA seconds too long, it could not without correction very long answer the purpose for which it was devised. Consequently, Tn 1852, it was found necessary to reform the calendar, and the Gregorian calendar was adopted. In order to correct the er- TOTS that the old calendar had made, ten days were dropped out, and October of 1582 became October 15. As the error was found to be exactly three days in 400 years, the Gregorian calendar omitted the leap year from every centennial year, ex- cepting those which were divisible by 400. Thus the years 1900, 1700 and 1900 were not leap years. As above stated, this reformation took place in 1582, and ten days were omitted from the calendar But as Columbus discovered America previous to the year 1900, which reck oned by the Gregorian calendar would not be leap year, there would be but nine days to omit. On October 21, 1899, the sun will occupy the same relative position to the earth as on the memorable October12, 1892 Hartford Post: About eighty years ago in a little village in the town of East Haddam lived Boss Lee," silversmith, from whom the place took its name of Leesville. Boss Lee was building a new house, and as panes of glass with 'bulls- eye" were thought to be ornamental, some of them were put into the windows. An eccentric old man, who thought himself quite philosopher, observed these, and warned the wOrkmen of their danger in acting possibly as burning glasses and thus setting the building on fire. He gave case in point where some shavings left on a south window sill of new house took fire from this cause while the work men were away at dinner, and they re- turned just ill season to save the house. "Now," concluded the old man, impress lively, Eff that had happened in the night the house would have burned and nothing could have saved it."

Joseph Cleary vs.. County Of Eddy
Decided for Defendant by su-
pureme Court.
Mrs. J. B. Deckard, Wife of the
Ss Baptist Minister of Mandan,
Dies Suddenly.
The District Court Again Grinding
on the Hubbard, Spencer
Case.
Cleary va. County Affirmed.

The first case to be handed down and
which was filed Tuesday, of the
number argued and submitted to
the supreme court at the recent January
term, is entitled Joseph Cleary VS.. the
county of Eddy. This was an appeal
from a judgment rendered by Judge
Rose in Eddy county adverse to the
claim of Mr.. Cleary. 1t appears from
the testimony that from August, 1886,
to April, 1891, Cleary held successfully
the offices of probate Judge, clerk of
court and district and states
attorney; that during all of this time
he furnished his own office and fuel; that
at divers times he demanded of the board
OF county commissioners of Eddy county
that they furnished him with an office
room for his use as a public officer,
rlDdt the same was always re-
fused. Cleary furnished his own office
and at the expiration of his
various official careers made out a bill
against the county and presented the
same to the commissioners, who disal-
lowed it and on appeal to Judge Rose
he affirmed their action. This result is
likewise %concurred in by the supreme
court in an opinion written by Chief
Justice Corliss, the syllabus of. which
opinion says that "a public official can
not, on refusal of the board of county
commissioners to provide office room for
him, rent an Office and bind the county
liable to him for the rent he pays. His
remedy is to compel by mandamus the
board to furnish him with an Office"
Judgment affirmed with costs of appeal
against Cleary.

considerable portion was yet in shock
and stack {of course unthreshed) and
that possibly would reduce the amount
estimated to be in reach of the granaries
to 100000. It was not his duty to
follow the grain from the field to the
market.
He left that for the future, when by a
careful report from stations of the
number of cars and weight of grain
shipped could be secured. Also when
the elevators would report the amount
received and shipped. Then by ascer-
tanning the amount received and ground
by our home mills. The amount re-
tanned for seed in 1892 and estimating
losses by fire, by wasteage, by rot and
other causes he could verify the report
and state the amount sold, it's average
price, and the net Profit to the state as a
whole.
Had Colonel Morton of Fargo con-
fined his criticisms to the report-in-
stead of branching off into politics-he
would not have been received in the
manner he has. He could have in his
own graphic way told what mad or
would become of the estimated g. 600, 900
bushels of whsat. He could have taken
the calamity view. He could have cried
out: "Gophers, geese, fowls, rats and
mice, fire, cyclones, billiards., heavy
rains and rot" will reduce the amount
fully 5 per cent. He could have truth
fully said that from the day the grain
had turned yellow in the feld-from
the time the machines started to cut,
there was a steady loss-in standing-in
c~utting-in shocking--in stacking-in
threshing either from the shock or
stack-in sacking, in hauling to the
granary, mill, a or elevator-and by
this cutoff another 5 per cent.
He could have withheld 3,OOO,O 900
bushels to seed the 100000 acres in the
spring of '92.
He could have hung up 100000 more
bushels for home use nest eggs to the
careful farmer. If he wanted to show
that this great yield was not all convert
able into cash-why did he not do so.
If he wanted to do the state an injury
by belittling it's productive qualities in
order to hold up the price of wheat
already on the market, or the i'm
aginary wheat on the wheat pits of
boards of trade, or grain exchanges, he
has taken that course, and we will watch
the outcome. This state has many
great interests that hinge on the vertical
ton of the statements made of Its
fertility, productiveness, and natural
advantages. Colonel Morton has done
much to circulate information of all these
advantages in this state, and the com
missioner of agriculture and labor has
%endeavored by the most careful, painstak-
ing and practical method in his
power to verify and %substantiate just
what Colonel Morton says of the Red
River valley and Cass county in particu-
lar, also of the whole state.
