JOIN TIE GREAT HOST.

There have been some grand parades
during this campaign. But the grand
est marching of all will be done to-day
when the millions who are in favor Of
honest money and good government
march to the polls to record their will
and their protest. Every good citizen
should make himself a part of this
great host.
The issue has become palmer and
palmer during the last days of the
wonderful campaign. 1t is good gov
eminent against bad government, or,
perhaps, no government.

day? DO it promptly and patriotically,

Those who do not see any reason why
the plan Of profft-sharing cannot be
more general and more successful than
it is will be much encouraged by the
latest report from the Bourne mills in
Fall River, Massachusetts, where
prof1t-sharing experiment has been on
trial for seven years. During the finan-
mills paid to stockholders Is per cent.

in the profit sharing plan got 10 FER

$72,o0O This amount was distributed
at Christmas e per cent? ana Just
previous to the Fourth of July g per

Mr.. George w. Chace, the treasurer
of the mills, was the originator of the
rofit-sharing plan. Under 1t all Of the
employees of the corporation, some 400
or more, are eligible to participate, OK
cept the treasurer and head bookkeeper
Each of the participants agrees with
the authorities of the corporation Tot
to expect or exact any part of the divi-
dends distributed among employees I'M
less he complies with the requirements
outlined by the corporation. Among
the conditions imposed are: An en-
ploye must work six months for the
corporation. He must not have quar-
relied, seriously, with the overseers or
other authorities in charge Of him be-
cause of idleness or bad work He
must make a regular deposit, or saving,
in what is termed the profit-sharing
bank, established and managed by the
mill authorities, as in any other bank
ing institution, public or private, where
regular and frequent deposits of saw
ings are exacted. Between 200 and ECO
of the employees have always s,artici-
pated In the profit-sharing, and the re-
suit is that the Bourne mills have one
of the steadiest communities of opera
tives in New England. The amounts
received by operatives vary greatly.
Some receive Sc for the six months,
and some receive as much as $50. These
amounts are paid In addition to the
regular wages earned in accordance
with the schedule of wages adopted by
the Cotton Manufacturers association.

the irrigating capacity has risen from
one and half to two millions of acres.
There are now more than ten millions
of acres Irrigated from various sources
in the Northwestern provinces and
Oudh, while in the Punjab the total IT.
rlgated area has risen since 1877 from
five to seven and half millions OF
acres. During the same interval the
open miles of rail have increased in the
Central provinces, the Punjab, the
Northwestern provinces, and Oudh
from 2,460 to 6234, while the cost of car
riage has been greatly reduced. The
report points out that the steady i'm
port of wheat from the United States
and other sources will prevent the
high rates reached in previous famines,
and directs attention to the expensive
schemes of railway and canal construc-
ton which the central and local author
tiles are preparing to put in operation
as relief works Large advances have
been made also for the sinking of tenn
porary wells. On the whole, the
authorities do not expect that the dis
tress will approach that of 1877.

An elaborate official statement of the
prospects of the threatened famine in
India was made at a recent meeting
of the Legislative council at Simla. 1t
is expected that severe distress will
be felt in most of the Oudh districts, in
those parts of the Agra and Allahabad
divisions which are not protected by
irrigation, in parts of the Benares,
Gorakhpur, and Rohilkhand divisions,
in a great part of the Cis-Sutlej portion
of the Punjab, and in the tract lying

the central provinces prospects are less
discouraging, but relief may be requir-

a chronic state of intoXication without
impairing his capital AT Brownsville
he rendered an American dollar for a
drink and received a Mexican dollar in
change. He then hurried across the
border to Mexican barroom, ordered
liquid refreshment and was given an
American dollar as change. Back to
Texas soil he fastened, and when he
had slaked his thirst he had Mexican
dollar with which to cross the line and
again wet his whistle, So delighted is
he with his experience that he writes
to a friend as follows: 81 feel as if l

An Inexpensive Look of Richness.
Brocades of rare weayes and of rich
hues are fine things for jackets, as
every one will admit, but it's not every
one that can have them, and it is for
these to know that less costly fabrics
of solid color are now voted quite as
distinguished as the gayer ones, In
the accompanying Illustration, for in
stance, there is a jacket bodice that
had an appearance of richness hardly
to be excelled, yet it was of plain
brown velvet. Its vest was brown silk
fastening with brown silk cord loops,
and at the waist line with two large
gold buttons. The revers were doubled
and were of the dress material, seal
brown English suiting. The sleeves
were tight, with triple capes, each one
edged with narrow silk passementerie.
A dust ruff1e can be placed on the un-
derside of the skirt, or, as in the pict-
ure, a handsome changeable silk petit
coat may be worn.

England's Royal Marine corps is to
be increased by 5000 men, who are to
be substituted for the army contingents
that form the garrisons of British
strongholds out of Europe, such as Hal
lax, Hong Kong, Bermuda, st. Hele-
ma, and Alden. The idea seems to have
sprung from the recent growth Of the
French Infanterie de Marine and Colo
NAL army. The result Of the change
would be to put the military control
OF these places entirely in the hands of
the Navy department
