The Mexican money question is becoming very serious in Nogales and in the case of people working for wages is a rank injustice. In a community where there is large American working population it would not be tolerated. The mer- chant can protect himself by mark ing up his goods as,Mexican silver goes down, but the poor devil of a workman who only gets dollar a day has no recourse against this re- duction of his earnings by the de- crease of the purchasing power ofhis wages. Looking at it from this point of view, the community cannot afford to allow matters to remain as they are, for in the ratio the pur- chasing power of the great mass of the people is reduced just in that ratio is the prosperity of the com munity affected. It is no use deny ing the fact that business in No- gales is now, and for some time past has been. in a depressed condition, and one cause in undoubtedly the low price of Mexican silver. If our people do not take some action to correct theevil the situation will get worse instead of improving.-No- gales Hrrald.

An Abandoned Colony.

get Sound, was, according to the statement of Captain Henry Hardy an exceedingly pleasant one. The commander and his jolly crew spent three days upon the Isle of Norfolk, a sequesered nook in the South Pocific ocean that boasts of a colo ny of 522 women and only ten men. Here the mariners were enter tained with genuine southern hos pitality by the ladies, and only de- parted from the most urgent neces- sity, their schedule requiring them to arrive in Philadelphia before March 18th.
 The Crapo one bright day was sitting several miles from the shore, of Norfolk island, which is in lati- tude 29 degrees 3 minutes S., 167 degrees 26 minutes E., when signals, presumably ot distress, were mo- ticed by the lookout.
 "Turn her around and push in !" shouted the Captain when the look outs observations were imparted to him, and the bark accordingly made for the shore. The signals then ceased, and soon three boats, man. ned, so to speak, entirely by women, shot out to meet the vessel.
 Heavens p cried the mate, they're all girls. Something must be up."
 But nothing was up at all, as the ladies, who were without exception young and beautiful, soon explain ed. Norfolk was formerly a penal settlement of New South Wales, and as there was absolutely no pos sibility of a mans escape, only the most abandoned criminals were there confined. But as time moved the sentences of the male and the female prisoners expired and they were at liberty. The men with few exceptions left the island upon the first vessels that would receive them but the women all remained. At about this period the South Wales Government resolved to abolish it's penal settlement, and thus today the matter stands.
 The fair maidens who had push ed out to the Crapo, after narrating these facts to the Captain and his puzzled crew, urged them strongly to disembsrk and spend a few days upon the verdant shores that loom ed so invitingly before them. The girls were clad in a primitive style, and their repeated urgings proved too much for the mariners, who;one and all, after securely anchoring the ship, entered the boats and were rowed to land.
 Three days were spent upon the Isle of Norfolk, and spent pleasant ly. Its lofty trees, many of which exceed two hundred feet in height and thirty feet in girth, it's green shady woodland groves, it's lemons, guavas, pineapples and bananas. which grow in the greatest abun- dance-these and many other de- lighttul features proved too much for the crew, and it was only after putting three men in irons that the Captain compelled his comrades to recognize the necessity of their de- parture.
 With sobs and lamentations from the 522 women, and with many ex- pressions of regret from the few and feeble men who form the colony the Grape hoisted anchor and sail ed away. The natural beauties of Norfolk were so great, however, that each and every one of it's visi- tors is determined hereafter to stop off for several days from every voy- age that bears him to the South Pa cifc.-Philadelphia Record.

MINNEAPoLIs, June 9.--The following
is the text of the tariff plank adopted by
the committee on resolutions:
Resolved; That we reaffim the American
doctrine of protection; we call attention
to its growth abroad; we maintain that
the prosperous condition OF our country is
largely due to the wise legislation of a
Republican congress; we believe that all
articles OF foreign growth--except the
luxuries oflife- which cannot be produced
in the United States, should be admitted
free Of duty, and that on all imports COM
ing into competition with tAs products OF
American labor there should be levied
duties fully equal to the difference in
wages abroad and at home; we assert that
the price Of manufactured articles of gem
eral consumption have been reduced un-
der the operation Of the tariff act of 1890;
we denounce the efforts of the Demo-
cratic majority Of the house of represe 1ta-
tives to destroy our tariff laws by piece
meal and we ask the people for their judg-
ment thereon. We point to the extension OF
our export trade and the great success of
the Republican system of reciprocity
under which our agricultural products
are now reaching markets unknown be-
FORE We remind the people Of the bitter
opposition of the Democratic party to this
practical business measure, and we claim
that II executed by 3 Republican admin
pistration our present laws will eventually
give us control Of the trade Of the world.
The silver plank in substance favors

eminent adopting such measures as will
make the gold and silver and pepper dol

these contests. We have q majority Of

no decisive effect upon the final result.
President Harrison will be nominated

he continued, .'emanates from the Har-

be a time in the balloting until candi-
date is nominated that President Har-
rison will not receive the vote of every

not go before the country upon the
issue that the president declined to

CHICAGO, June 10.--A United Press
reported called at the residence of Judge
Gresham to make inquiry concerning
the report that he had informed the
Blaine managers that he would accept
second place on a ticket headed by Mr..
Blaine. Mrs. Gresham sent word to the
reporter that the judge had been i'll all
day and was then asleep and could not
be seen. Mrs. Gresham was then asked
if there was any truth in the report, and
after considerable delay she replied to
the effect that she did not know and
could not answer the question. This
non-committal answer, coupled with the
fact that Judge Gresham is known to
have received q great number of tele-
grams from Minneapolis. gives some
credence to the rumor.
