| COVERINGS. l Clarence Coffman also returned from e short vacation this evening"
 Mrs. Jas. Douglass and Children came in on the train this evening on . visit to Mrs. Lewis Williams. They will probably remain here for some time.
 Frank Abrams returned this evening from an extended trip throughout the east. Frank has been away q number of months and has had very enjoyable time from start to finish. We under stand that he is to relieve Chss Heath the 4. & s. E. agent at FAirbank who also desires 10 take an extended yacs- ,ion.
 The balance of the party of Rebec. css who came up from Tucson to as sist in organizing a lodge here, return ed to their homes this morning. Part Of the party re:uI med some days past but Mrs. B. M. Mariner, Clara J. Ellis, Mrs. N. J. Cotton, were having such a good time that they concluded to stay while longer. They finally were fore ed to tear themselves away this morn- ingsiter having mos. enjoyable time.
 The evidences of the recent flood and hail storm have now about disssp- pesred from our midst. Carpenters and glaziers have been busy at work for the pas. three days and our houses lre once more looking inhabitsble. The greater par. ot the damage has been repaired without great deal ot loss falling on any one and to our minds we ought to te thankful that we had flood. One not quite SO severe might probably have been little better but we doubt ii any ordinary flow of water would have been suffic- tent to clean out our gulches thor oughly, and 1t is 6 certisinty that, in the condition m which they were, had they not been flushed out thoroughly we would have had a great deal of sickness before the next rainy season rolled around.
 The genial countenance of our friend Dick Hartman is appearing about town today slightly disfgured. This is not due to any whim or notion according to Dicks statement but was positive necessity. As he was walk | ing down the street at dusk last even- ing he was approached by person who, in the dim light. mistook bim for popuIist. Dick immediately made haste to barber shop and had his hair cut short and his whiskers trimmed to . gold bug point. He doesn't want any pin-headed sembl- ance of humanity to mistake him for a populist even at dusk. We suggest that, as e further precaution, he might purchase one Of the Mckinley hats.
 | The following dialogue was heard on the street yesterday and is rather inn pressive:
 Say boys that Was 6 great time the "Two Toms" had Saturday night @ssn't il2
 "Yes you bet they're right in the swim."
 "Wasn't that a great discourse Little Tommy gave them though"
 "Yes that was dandy but then it wasn't anything extra for Tommy he's full of those things."
 "Big Tom is pretty smoosh though isn't he?"
 "Yes they re a great pair all right Sure thing, regular kIllers."

Invasion by Japan.

The San Francisco Journal OF Com
MERGE says editorislly:
Ii looks es If the japanese were going
to get q strong hold in this country, to
make the United States the chief outlet
for their producte.
The tea that we used to get from Js-
pan was excellent; but Americans il
America wanted more for their money,
and American shippers in japan have
lowered the cost. They had to take @
poor tea, weigh it with gypsum or stone
powder, color it with Prussian Blue to
"beautify it"-1hich makes poor tea
even worse.
In this way immense profits have been
made at the expense of the American
public, and likewise at the expense OF
the japanese producer, whose interest
it is to have the best tea Consumed, be-
cause people like il, and 30 want more.
Good tea increases tie consumption
of tea, while poor tea, weighted and col
ored, tends to decrease the consumption.
The American shippers stand between
the interest of American consumers and
the japanese growers. Toe japanese
government seems to be quite aware of
this. and, at the Worlds Fair, spent
thousands OF dollars showing America
that we were not land are mott using
real Japan tea at all.
We shall watch the proceedings with
interest; for it will be good thing for
the country to use good tea. and great
thing for San Francisco which, because
of climate, harbor and trade facilities,
is the natural tea-port for the United
States.

A LOCOMOTIVE COLLISION
Fer Experimental Purposes on the
Hooking Valley Road.

COLUMBUS, O., May 30.-The 10000
people who gathered at the Buckeye
park on the Colum bus, Hooking Valley
and Toledo road this afternoon have q
pretty well defined idea of railroad
collision. The forty-ton locomotives,
to each OK which was attached three
coal cars and caboose, were run to-
gether at a speed of forty miles an hour.
AZ one of the engines was little faster
than the other, preliminary trials Of
speed were made so as to bring the col
lIsion at certain point. The engine
w. ID. Fisher was started $500 feet
south of the point OF meeting, the +. l..
Streeter 1900 feet north. The engines
were started on the main line and ran
together on siding at the park. Both
engines were started at the same time,
the engineers jumping after opening
the throtles. The collision occurred at
4:10 p. m the engines meeting within
about 100 feet OF the calculated point.
The immense crowd was client with
awe as the engines steamed into sight,
each running at rate OF forty miles an
hour. There was terrific crash and a
roar Of esBpIpg steam as the engines
came together, and they reared up in
the air. The care behind them were
telescoped, but the cabooses were only
partly wrecked. As the clouds of dust
and steam obscured the wreck there
was tremendous shout. then when the
escaping steam subsidized the people
clam bered over the wrecksge and every
loose bit of iron that could be found
was carried away as relic. Both ep-
gires we're complete wreck. Kline
toscopic views of the collision were
taken by New York experts. The only
thing to mar tie success of the affair
was the accident to the clerk in the
general passenger Office of the Hooking
Valley. A flying bolt struck him on
the right leg below the knee, breaking
the bone. A piece of iron also pune
tured his thigh. He was brought to
the city on a special train.

There is one thing that favors a Re-
publican victory in Kansas, although
that state has not been reckoned
among the Republican probabilities
this year, and that is the immense
crop of corn that is ready for the crib
in that state. The crop in nearly
twelve per cent greater this present
season than last, and there was an
immense hold over crop. That corn
is coming to the gulf for shipment
abroad and the lesser cost of the
short haul is going to put millions
into thepOckets of the corn growers.
This is condition that usually exists
side by side with n first class Repub-
lican vote. 1t will be interesting to
note the returns and see.

The newspapers are occasionally
calling the attention of the public
to the discrepancies between the
statements that Bryan makes on the
platform and the facts. This is use
less. for if the papers followed this
thing up there would he neither time
or space for anything else There
would be columns needed every day
to set forth the decisions and inaccu-
racies of his speech on the matter of
bimetalism alone. He claims for him
self and party the distinction of being
but in fact he is a silver
claiming such ratio
between the two metals as will nee
essarily drive gold out of circulation
He is no more n bimetalist than
is a unitarian.

Sam Jones finds with all his hate

is all that the Republicans need to
win in Louisiana, Alabama, North

1t is too much to expect that the hab-

Bryan and Mckinley are addressing
vast numbers of their cOuntrymen.
but Bryan is going to the people and
takes them as he runs, while McKin-
ley is taking the people as they come
to him. This is the great distinction
between the twain and tits going to
be preserved to the end of the chap
ter. Ever since the nomination of
Mckinley the people have been COM
ing to him in constantly increasing
numbers. Bryan is going to the peO-
pie, not the people coming to him.
This popularity in the Mckinley part
of the thing is 4 new one in Ameri-
can politics.

CONQUERED A PEACE.

The Republican convention at Fort
Worth finishes its work and for the
first time for more than twenty years
the party is in shape to go to work
vigorously and accomplish something.
Grant has not only shown himself a
hard fighter and a good arranger Of
| forces, but he has shown himself
| above a petty revenge that would
peril the success of the party in the
state. He has shown that the word
"hramOny" means more to him than
the lettreS that compose it. Harmony
| means in his eyes a union of all the
Republican elements in the state, the
Cancellation of his political enemies,
the bringing into one united effort for
the good of the party and through
that the good of the country, all that
the Republicans of Texas can COM
mand through themselves and with
the aid of those who will work with
them. 1t is n new thing in Texas

ed fight in which all the worst ele
ments of human nature and fractional
feeling have been called into play sit
ting quietly down and calling his old
time enemies around him and cOun-
selling harmony and peaceful action.
1t is wise that this is so. Grant is a
greater politician doing this than he
was in knocking out of the ring the
old time boss of the party, who was
as malignant as he was able and who
secretly engendered a perpetual
strife in the party along the color
line. The election of Green to the
state craftsmanship is a good thing
for the state. 1t is good thing in that |
it places matters in the hands of a
man of brains and standing in bust
ness circles. 4 good thing because |
this man is not party to any of the |
old political enmitieS and animosities /
that have disgraced and divided the /
party for the past twenty years. \ |

pded. The effort is to wrest the
