comes from Republican source.
Labor Commissioner Powers has Just
sent out his official report for the

of that State are prospecting as they
have never done before. This is ''the
most unkindest cut Of all, for upon
the ruin of the farmers, and especial
ly OF those of the West, has the
Democratic party staked its last hope
Of success.

NEW JERSEY is about the only
Northern State that the Cleveland
ties can now really hope to carry
And even that hope is based on the
fact that in the darkest days of the
civil war New Jersey kept voting the
Democratic ticket, while sending the
bravest troops the world ever saw to
the front. But New Jersey is gre w
ing more and more enlightened, and
she will probably cast her vote for
Harrison this year. A good many OF
her ablest ballotbox suffers are now
in prison.

Catastrophe Denundations.

Comparatively small glaciers can,

may have been held back by the huge
ice sheets OF the great glacial period

wild speculation. Already much evil
dence has been brought together

another lake of the same kind,

In Montenegro.

Suicide is regarded by the sturd
MontenegrinS as despicable and
cowardly act During the past fifty
years not a single instance of self
destruction has been recorded among
the inhabitants Of the Black Mount
aims. One can therefore imagine the
excited feelings Of the populace when
it was learned that merchant by the
name Of Lyezar had attempted suicide
in order to elude his creditors The
poor fellow had narrow escape. He
was taken to the hospital, where the
bullet was extracted, and he is at
present on the way to recovery.
Prince Nikita came in person to the
hospital and severely rebuked the
wounded man on account Of his cow
ardice. Leyezar begged the prince to
pardon him for his rashness and swore
that his creditors had driven him to
distraction. Nikita was touched by
the mans story, and Immediately
ordered that his creditors be paid out
Of his own eXchequer, but at the
same time the Prince was determined
to Danish the man from the princi-
pality as soon as he recovered. This
anecdote explained the following de-
cree recently issued: BE it known to
the people of Montenegro that the

suicide will be exposed to the public
gaze on lofty gallows for period of
