to act.
desire also TO earnestly suggest the wis
dom of amending the existing statutes in
regard TO the issuance Of government bonds.
The authority now vested in the secretary Of
the treasury to issue bonds is not as clear as
il should be, and the bonds authorized are
disadyantageous to the government, both as
TO the time of their maturity and the rate of
interest.
Of course, this is q small affair
which is referred to merely IN an in
cidental way, and which it is thought
need not interfere with the present
establishment Of 'sound currency"
Are the people of this country ready
to submit to q new issue Of interest
bearing bonds in time of profound
peacel If the government is unable
to sustain itself at this time without
increasing it's bonded indebtedness,
1t would better go into bankruptcy
and retire from business.
Furthermore, we desire to repeat
here and now what we have said be-
fore upon this bond question. If new
bonds are issued, it will be upon the
fimsv pretense Of buying gold; and
1Vben they are issued, no gold will
be bought. They will simply be ex-
changed for securities. Remember
this.
Referring to the agricultural de-
the president chiefly di-
lstes upon the economical manage
ment of the present secretary. This
economy consists in the discharge of
clerks, and in cutting off the supply
of seeds which it has been customary
to allow the members of congress to
distribute to their constituents. We
could suggest another measure of
economy still more important than
these. If corporation lawyers who
know about as much about sgricul-
ture as Mr.. Cleveland cares about
the welfare Of the common people,
are to have charge of the depart
ment, the most practical economy
that could be thought of would be to
abolish the department altogether.
Respecting our exports it Is SAID:
The exports of agricultural products from
the United States for the fiscal year ending
June 30, 1892, attained the enormous figure
of $S00,0O0,000 in round numbers, being
1877 per cent. Of our total exports. In the
last fiscal year this aggregate was greatly
reduced, but nevertheless reached S615, ,000,-
900 being 75,1 per cent. Of all American
commodities exported. A review Of our ag-
rioultursl exports, with special reference TO
their destination, will show that in almost
every line the united kingdom of Great
Britain and Ireland absorbs by far the larg-
est proportion. OF cattle the total exports
aggregated in value for the fiscal year end

Three terrific explosions of dynamite

the handsome homes of John Martin,
editor of the Muscatine Journal, f. M.
Lessenger, a retired capitalist, and N.
Rosenberger, an attorney. The fifteen
sleeping occupants of the three dwellings
escaped death in miraculous manner.
In every case the occupants of the house
slept on the second floor, and as the ex-
plOsives were thrown into the Easements
or first floors. the force Of the explosion
was below the occupants. The lower
floors of all the houses were completely
demolished and their contents dropped
into the cellars. 'At Mr.. Rosenberger's

from cellar to roof. some Of the occupants
fell from the upper floors into the cellar,

manner that they escaped injury. Book
shelves, pianos, tables, chairs and costly
furniture were thrown in a confused
mass of chaos into the cellars. and win
dOws, doors and walls were blown into
the yards
A more complete and hapciess wreck
than the interior of the three houses
presented would be difficult 70 imagine.
MIR. Mahin estimates his loss at 5000,
and that of Lessenger cannot fall be-
low this figure. Rosenbereer's residence
is beyond repair, the walls being torn
from the foundations and shattered to
pieces. Its value, however. will not ex-
coed $1,000. The owners O. the wrecked
