In the last thirty years 100000 dl.
vorces have been granted In the United
States. For the nineteen years. from
1867 to 1886, statistics show that the
divorce hlgh-water mark belongs to
those who have been married four
years. Beginning with the one-year
married people. the total Is. rOundly.

total mounts up nearly dOuble-?7.OOO.

for those who have been married nine

Manitoba Is beginning to look con-
fidently to the United Sta :es for an
overflow of population to make the
vast plains of the nOrthwcs; Il new ag-
ricultural empire. Basing their con-
clusiOns on the fact tina. the public
lands OF the United States open to set
tlement are practically exhausted, the
ManitObans think that as the United
States now receives and has been re-
ceiving the surplus populations Of the
old world the surplus of the United
States will In turn overflow into Can
ada. especially into Manitoba. where 1t
Is now much easier to obtain n farm

Some idea OF the value and OF the In.
terest that Is being shown In Ontario's
gold mines In the newly discovered
MlchipicOten district may he learned
from the report of Mr.. Archibald Blue.
director of the bureau of mines, rs
given In the Canadian papers. Mr..
Blue has organized the new mining dis
trict. which has been placed under the
direction of Mr.. ID. Boyd. During the
fifteen days Mr.. Blue was at the Office
there We're registered between eighty
and ninety claims. which had been reg,
ularly staked out by llcense-hOlders
and upon all of which discoveries OF
gold had been made. In all over 2OU
licenses have been issued since the new
regulations went into effect, then about
month. The new law allows miners
to take out two licenses provided they
are not under the same vein. ana q
number Of miners have availed them
selves of this privilege. AS the system
of mining enables miners to secure d
claim mt trifing expense, Mr.. Blue re-
ports 1t as very popular among pros
pectOrs. Among the prOspectOrs whC
have staked out claims are Lord Doug
lass of lIarvick and company II
which Col. Hisdale Is interested. Tn,
director also reports that he heard o.
one vein from twenty to thirty fee
wide which showed free gold In prom
ising quantities, the samples Of quart;
shown him being literally covered OF
the face with the precious metal Man!
Of the prospectors had no experience u
all, and many of them, according 4
Mr.. Blue. never left their camp a
| Wawa. Most of those who did. how
ever. were successful In locating
claims.

THE PROBLEM

Before Connecticuts Silver Democrats.
A dispatch from this city to the New
York Evening Post last evening says
regarding the silver democrats action
on Thursday:
Every divergent reports have pre-
vailed here as to whether the resolution
approving the Chicago platform was or
was not passed yesterday at the meet
ing of the silver democratic state com
mittee. members of the committee itself
disagreeing on the point. The chair
man of the committee says that the
resolution was not formally passed, but
was sent to the committee. This, he
says, however, amounts to its passage,
as the committee approves the resolu-
ton and was known to approve 1t
when the resolution was acted upon.
1.-THE feature of the session of the
committee yesterday afternoon was it's
decision to appoint county chairmen as
silver whips for the town commit
tees. In this way the silver leaders
hope to bring under their control and
discipline those local committees which
in this state are the mechanical units
Of party organization, and the great
majority of which are either under the
control of the gold men or neutral be-
tween the two wings of the party
There are many difficulties In the way
of such a county organization, which
is a novelty in Connecticut politics"
