in India.
Under English rule local sef-gov-
eminent has been bestowed upon the
people of India SO the board has to look
around for means to pay for water ana
drainage schemes and town conserv-
ancy; the barrier dues are one OF them,
and the carriers, who have just come IN,
are as disconnected as the people of the
town, who pay, one way and another,
shillings per head annually for local
rates, says the Gentleman's Magazine.
-Four annas for each cart entering
Singhpur, in addition to four tolls on
the road from Panhunder! It is mon
strousi How will they get fced TODAY
for themselves and their bullocks!
Here some women, passing on their way
to the tank, halt and listen to the dis
pute and join in the complaint that the
'takkus' is grievous, the children's food
is being taken away" The toll con-
tractor has no concern with their Ieei-
ings, and only observes that it is the
"hukm'' or command of the govern
ment, and proceeds to rake in his dues
The district officers say that the IN
gratitude of the people is most d1Scour-
aging; latrines have been put up, the
filth is ca-ted away daily to distance
from the town, street drains are
cleansed, stray dogs are destroyed, OIL
lamps have been erected in the streets,
water of good quality distributed to
standpipes for public use, and they have
a local board, presided over by the
Taluq native revenue officer, and yet
they are not happy. 1t is really too
bad Some of the people will positively
not drink the water coming to them IN
metal pipes, and some still neglect to
use the public latrines, preferring to
resort to the open country outside the
town, according to cid custom. A native
hand-loom weaver, of whom there are
many in Singhpur, told one of the col
lectors poems, who told the head clerk,
who told his superior, that the people
were not ungrateful, but they were all
queer and liked their own ways, which
the English did not understand; they
did not notice the odors which the En-
glish called bad smells; they liked to
take their drinking water from the vii
lage WELL or the temple tank, especially
the latter, which had been blessed by
the presence of Vishn9: and they did
not like the dung-carts parading the
streets and standing in the market
place. Least of all did they like pay
ing weeks earnings every year to the
local board when the cost of food was
increasing. They were very poor men ;
what should they do?

tiated in front of four wheels in time bet
ter than $40. Ths official figures are
2:0834. The fastest pacing time hereto
fore made to wagon was 2:14k, by John
ston, at Detroit, in July, 1887. This,
however, was in a race, while w. w. P.'s
wagon record was made against time.
The phenomenal performance of W. W.
P was at the Indian summer meeting at
Lincoln, Neb., when he made the worlds
best record for two miles. The first mile
was paced in 2:14% and the last in 2:GSM,
making the two miles in 4:2234. This
was certainly a most wonderful exhibition
of speed and endurance, accomplished, as
it was, in the face of wind that blew
strongly down the back stretch. The two
performances, taken for just what the fig
ures indicate, stand out as noteworthy in
the extreme and stamp W. W. P. as a
marvellous animal.
The two mile record, which W. W. P.
has thus successfully broken, was BATH,
made by Defiance and Longfellow in a
dead heat race at Sacramento, Cal, in
September, 1879. Prior to that time the
championship was credited to James K.
Polk, who paced two miles, under saddle
in 4:57 4 in Philadelphia as far back as
1850.

Chicago, Oct. ia meeting of the
Populist national executive committee
was held at the Sherman House to con
sider the question of fusion in Kansas and
Colorado, over which considerable friction
mas arisen. 1t is probable that action will
be taken looking toward the 1isplacement
of some of the Democratic electors in tbe
states named and putting Populist cleo
tors III their places. All of the members
oil the national executive committee were
present with the exception of Secretary
r.. ~: stone, OF the national committee,
and Chairman Dorr, of California.
Senator Butler, chairman of the ma
tional Populst committee, when asked if
Mr.. Watson would come out in n letta,.
opposing fusion arrangements made in
the West, stated that no such letter wac
expected.
we are all pulling to defeat NrcKin-
ley, said Mr.. Butler, 'and while there
is some friction over division of the cleo
tors IN several of the States no action will
be taken that will in the least leonard ize
the success of our ticket. This will be
olscussed to-day, and AIN sure it will be
adjusted amicably. You can state au-
thoritatively that Mr.. Watson will re-
main on the ticket. No thought of his res
lgnation is entertained by u.s.

outlook was asked of him.

Minneapolis Mimi, Oct. 13.-perhaps
the most unique feature of Mr.. Bryan's
visit to Minneapolis was his address last
night ut the Lyceum Theatre to an audi
ence made up exclusively of women and
presided over by woman. There were
2.O00 women present and Mrs. Frank
Wabash presided. When Mr. Bryan ar
rived about 10 O'Clock the ladies arose en-
masse, waved their handkcrchiefs and
flags, clapped their hands and called his
name-in fact did every thing that men
might have done except give three cheers
and tiger. Mr.. Bryan in opening said:

tircly, but also new in that have to

ginning of a campaign than to have the
husband, If could only have one. (Ap-
plause.) And will tell you why. BE

could understand how u man could be a

Mr.. Bryan then launched into dis
cusson of the silver question heretofore
covered by him, saying that the women

The speech captivated the women.

ISOLATION of Democratic Clubs to-day is,
sued an appeal to all club members to do
all in their power to bring out full
