graph wires to Silver City are down

and a number Of business blocks have
collapsed. The railroad authorities
report the storm the worst ever known
in that section. The Santa Fe railroad
has lost several bridges on it's Silver
City branch, and IL badly washed out.
First reports were that several lives
were lost, even as high as twenty-five,
but later couriers, while confirming
the reports of damage throughout the
section, say that there has been, so
far as learned, no loss of life.

The gold reserve in the treasury is
again up to S100,0O0,0O0, after two years
of pretty steady borrowing, and the fact
is heralded in proof of the great financial
ability and success of the administration.
But it has cost the country 1886, 600, 900
in loans, interest and deficiency. That
is the price which IN two years the coun-
try has been placed under obligations to
pay for the luxury of Democratic admin
istratiOn. The enormous sum of indebt-
edness was equaled, however, by the
Harrison administration, though in the
opposite direction. But it took that ad.
ministration four full years to pay off as
much indebtedness as the Cleveland ad-
ministration has piled up against the
government in two years and three
months. No wonder our Democratic
friends regard the Harrison administra-
ton as slow. 1t never had a deficiency
in single month. Itfound surplus on
hand every time, and when it retired it
left larger surplus than was ever left by
any administration before the war, and
after having paid off more than $500, OOO,-
900 of the National debt.

lieve the wisdom and patriotism of the
Nation is concentrated in the persOnali-
ty of Grover Cleveland, recognizes men
may differ upon questions of politics and
political policies and still be honest, and
is an American to the innermost fiber of
his being. At the Democratic National
convention of 1892 he declared the NOM
ination of Cleveland would lead to the
disintegratiOp of the Democratic party,
and, although his predictions were not
verified SO far as the result of the presi-
dental election was concerned, the eff
fects of that election upon the political
fortunes of the Democratic party have
been to the tuil as disastrous as he pre-
dicted. In an interview at Chicago a
few days ago, Col WattersOn declared,
If the Democracy of Kentucky at its com
ing convention declares in favor of free
coinage at ratio of l6 to one, or at any
low ratio, from $4,000 to 10000 Demo-
cratic voters will support the Republican
ticket. AT the last election in the State

would ensure the election of the entire

State into the Republican column. And

are wide OMEN, thousands of Democrats
have passed through during the past two
years, and there is room for thousands
more.

News and Notes,

The revival of a Rochester electric
works employee after 5000 volts had
gone through his body, is suggestive Of
awful reflections. Does the 'electrocut-
ing" process for the infection of the
death penalty kill, or does the State rely
upon the surgeons knife to finish up
the job? The next subject brought to
the death chair should be turned over to
the surgeons afterwards to discover
whether he is dead or not, before the au-
topsical knife is brought into use. A
few more cases like this one in Roches-
ter will start revolt against execution
by electricity. A murderer's life may
not be of much account, but the sense of
humanity revolts against his butchery
like a hog.-Troy Telegram.

Free Lecture to wonen.

DR.. X. c. Flower of Boston, Mass, will
deliver his new lecture, entitled ::
Health, Happiness and Beauty of
Women" at the Opera House, Benning-
ton. at 3 o'clock Tuesday afternoon, July
End. This lecture will be delivered un-

cities.
If you would know how to regain lost
health and preserve your health, if you
have it; if you would know how to get
the greatest amOnnt of happiness out of
both the single and married life; if you
would know how to preserve your beauty
and your youthful looks far into the
evening of life, then go and hear DIR.
Flower.
DR.. Flowers friends claim that, as II
lecturer, he has no superior, if equal, up
on the American platform, and Tor wit,
sarcasm, pathos and beauty of speech he
has no equal.
The press says: DR.. r. c. Flower lee
| tured yesterday afternoon in Assembly
Hall, to over 100 women, representing
largely the wealth, culture and brains of
| the city. Never was an audience more
enthusiastic in praise ami applause than
this vast assembly of women. They
laughed; cried and laughed at the same
time.-Philadelp Times.
Dr. r. Q. Flowers lecture at Assembly
Hall yesterday afternoon, to women, was
attended by nearly 1000 ladies. The
Doctor had the sympathy of his large
audience from the opening to the close
of his lecture. The enthusiasm of his
audience at times knew no bounds. No
higher compliment could be paid the
Doctor than the remark of the president
of the Chester Club: "a finer lecture
was never delivered by man."-Phila-
nelphia Press.
DR.. X. G. Flower lectured last night to
nearly 1000 people in fremont Temple.
His audience went wild over his elO-

the finest entertainment ever given the
women of this city. Hundreds were I'M
able to gain admittance, while those who
did enjoyed for an hour and forty min

tears, the richest treat of the season. The
Doctors tribute to the married life and
home, and his closing tribute to women,
for eloquence, pathOs and beauty of
speech can never be utdone.-COurier,
