The discussion of popular govern
ment based on universal suffrage which
was begun in the May number Of DOna-
hoes, and which has created such wide
spread interest; is continued with vigor
in the June number, the significance Of
certain recent public u~tterances being
dWelt upon. Two radically different
articles are The Blessings Of Mono
poly and Tho Oasis Of Siwah.n In
the former, Rev. q. Al. Henirick, a
Catholic clergyman, presents the strong
est possible argument for the c0mpeti-
tive system and for monopoly, its inBv-
liable result, and in the latter article q

at that time our pitcher while at the
bat was struck on the arm by q ball
thrown with much force by the other
pitcher, the effect of which moi only
iiindelcd our progress but contributed
largely to our defeat. Chic0t muster
ing new courage and urged on by its
undaunted leaders carried the laurels OF
the day.

cot on the nth of June. This being the
last game Of the series our boys are

In regard to the a n + we can say
that the prospect for a large yield was
never much if any better than it is to-
day. The stand is excellent. Both

an enormous yield by grinding time.
But with all that there is now in sight,
the bright prospect for cane may be
blighted by the destruction of tho bOun-
