Professor Hilgard

of the University of California,
in his annual report for the
year 1890, writing about
VERONICA MINERAL WATER,
says:
Gas a purgative this water is
very effective, and not painful
in the least. 1t was a medicinal
water used by the Indians. The
composition of this water is very
unusual, in fact, the compost
ton is very remarkable, as it
contains nearly every chemical
element of value to the human
system, whether to become a
part of the membraneous secre-
tions, the blood or the bones."

spain's $4,000 Mon.

The autumn programme of the Madrid
Government 10 to call out 5000 reserves,
of whom half will be sent abroad, $1,000
to Cuba and $4,000 to the Philippines.
Spain could hardly do less than this in
order to keep up the hopes of her people for
the campaign In Cuba that Is to follow the
rainy season. And yet the contrast between
this new contingent n the host which she
prepared to send out a year ago, and which
she did send out, is striking. She intended
then to put down the rebellion by what
seemed an overwhelming force. and 1t is
admitted that, first and last, she has EN-.
ployed, in round numbers, 200, 600 men.
Yet 1t is seen how little this prodigious
army has accomplished. The insurmount-
able difficulties with which Spain contends
are the almost impregnable natural de.
fences of Cuba, its proximity to the United
States. from which arms and all other
supplies can easily be sent to the rebels,
and, above all, the unconquerable spirit
of the patriots. whose cry is indepen.
dence or determination. In a former war
they fought ten years, with fewer re.
sources, and Spain could not now stand
the drain for half that time, aver should
u country hold aloof.
The new quota of 81, 900 men is therefore
thrown into a hopeless struggle. At best
1t will only repair some of the ravages In
the Spanish ranks. The patriots who did
not quail before 100000 foes will not be
troubled by the added $4,000. If Spain is
wise she will listen to the proposals that

Not Mr.. Platt's to Give.

Ont of the curious mixture Of petty anil
mosities to the New York Republican or
RaniEation on the part Of alleged Republi-
can newspapers we extract this shallow
sentiment from the NetD York Press:
"Mr. THOMAS @. Plat. who Is the absolute master
Of the Republican organization OF New York. will de-
eide what the Republicans will do regarding Mr..
low"
This 10 the way It looks to observers who
have lost their craftsmanship, and who. look
Ing through Mugwump spectacles, see
nothing but q boss, whether 1t be SETH
Low in the Citizens Union or THOMAS G.
PLAT among the Republicans.
Instead of Mr.. PLATT being a supreme
boss In this matter, he Is governed by Q
power which doesn't consider his per-
ponal preferences, or hang upon his delibera-
tions a. to whether or no to enroll the Re
publican organization as a member Of tho
Citizens Union. Mr.. LAT Is a very able
man and q very great politician; but as the
Now York leader Of the Republican party,
he IL bound to see that that party Is repre-.
scented a. usual in the Important election
ticket is duly entered In the race. Th Re-
publican leader in Mr.. PLATT's place would
have the Same right to indorse the ticket
Of Tammany Hall, the representative OF
tho Chicago platform, that he would to In
dorse the ticket of the Citizens Union,
more thar anything else the fruit Of Mug
Wump venom against the Republican plat
! form and party. If the Republican organi'
: ration should indorse the Citizens Union
platform, 1t would at once become irregular
and there wouldn't be much delay in the
appearance of another organization to TAXI
fits place.

MIR. Lows Two designations from tho
Republican Party.

We observe defence of Mr.. SETH Low. Q
candidate for Mayor Of New York. in re-
gard to his retirement from tho Repub-
lican party in 1888. Although Mr.. Low
did withdraw from his party at the time,
giving the protection plank as a reason,
his second and more recent resignation
merits much greater consideration.
The Republican party Is again In power
on the platform from which Mr.. Low with
drew nine years ago. Moreover, this time
the Republicans, through the passage Of
another Tariff act, have lifted business out
of a pitiable state of Generalization on to
a level Of stability and repose, where the
public is again happy and industrious.
The entire country feels the thrill of
prosperity. 1t is living In the hope that
the party identified with the preserva-
tion Of the national credit n social
order, against the most portentous organ.
ization for their destruction the world has
ever seen, may be so strengthened through
out the Union that the dangers now threat
ening the nation may disappear. Yet, in
spite Of this situation, MI. Low has lately
published a second resignation from the
Republican party.
On June z he wrote to the Citizens Union
that he was for Its platform, q heteroge.
neous collection Of Mugwump and So
c~ialistic fancies based on the idea that the
Republican party should rave 40 part in
the administration Of the Greater New
York. While the national party Of good
credit and good order Is keeping up the
fight and looking with peculiar anxiety to
the result in New York, Mr.. Low has
stepped out again and joined a movement
directly hostile to it.
Even If Mr.. Low had not retired from
his party in 1888, his separation from the
Republicans for the impending momentous
conflict makes him utterly impossible as
the Republican candidate.

September opened auspiciously in the en-
larged New York.
Sept. l marks the beginning Of the COM
mercially important oyster season in New
York, and it is encouraging to know, on
the authority of oystermen and fishermen,
proverbially veracious, that not in many
years has the local oyster crop been so large
and of such high standard m fine flavor.
In the field of commercial industry Sep.
TENDER opens we'll, with dollar wheat an
established fact, and an enormous and in.
creasing foreign market for American
cereal products, of which New York is the
great shipping point.
Sept. l marked the conclusion of the three
months of summer, during which the city
Of New York has happily escaped epidemics
of all kinds and the death rate OF the town
has been lower and the sanitary condition
of the city better than ever before.
The tax rate upon real estate and per.
sonal property in New York is not exces.
sive this year, and the collections of taxes,
which will be begun at the close of this
month, will exceed $40, 900, 900. They will
be made Under business conditions more
satisfactory than at any time since 1892.
The divergences of opinion in the Police
Board between the Commissioners OF Police
and the Chief of Police, between the Chief
of Police and the lead of the Detective
Bureau, and between the Commissioner
Of Police and the precinct commanders,
which have made difficult the performance
of necessary police duty, seem now to be
ended by the retirement Of the former Chief
of Police and by a readjustment of the
commands" in the department, which
promises a larger degree of efficiency and a
diminished amount of friction in the future.
New York has enjoyed during the month
of August exceptionally invigorating
weather, and its continuance will make the
moro irresistible the attractions of the
town for those of Its citizens remaining
within its limits or who arc impatient to
return to 1t from the country.
September opened auspiciously in every
part of the great and glorious territory
which, on and after Jan. /, 1893, will

States, although the expansion OF the area
of improved land under farms does not yet
keep pace with the growth OF population
The number of improved acres has, never
theless. trebled in twenty years, having
risen from 1000 acres In 1870 to 49,
o2O. 600 In 1890. Mr.. MULHALL observes
that the new farms established in the In
terval cover q superflcies equal to that OF
Holland and Belgium put together. The
annual production Of grain per inhabitant
was In lse3.95 no less than 1,7oo pounds,
and that Of meat 44O pounds. No part
of tho Union has such abundant herds
and aocks; IL horses, cattle. sheep,
and pigs DO considered collectively,
there are 8 head to each ~inhabitant. as
compared with 8 in the Prairie States,
and less than 8 in the Union at large.
The annual value Of farm products is
computed approximately at a little less
thar $500, 900, 900, which gives an aver
age of $13 an acre, as against $3.50 In
the Prairie and $14 in the Middle
States. II we accept the formula that q
ton of meat is equal to 8 tons of grain, 1t
appears that the labor Of each farm hand
Is equivalent to 80 tons of grain in the
Pacific States, % in the Prairie, z In the
Southern, and 8 In the Eastern States, the
average for the whole Union being IA o
per hand. The superior productivity Of the
Pacific States is attributable in part, no
doubt, to fertility, but in part also to tho
fact that the farms in these States are
much larger and the number Of acres to
each farm hand much greater than else
where. We remark, finally, that in the
Pacific States there is an immense field for
agriculture as yet undeveloped, only 6 per
cent. Of their supericies being under farms.
even including the unimproved portion of
the farms. whereas the farming area OF the
Union is 20 per cent. of the country.
Statistics are usually accounted dry, but,
to Mr.. MULHALL, the figures relating to
our Pacific States recount a story as mar.
vellous as any Arabian tale. Almost all OF
them have sprung into existence since 1860
yet, Viewed collectively, they possess more
miles of railway than any European coun,
try. except France or Germany, and their
wealth exceeds that of Sweden, Norway,
and Denmark combined. 1t is evident,
moreover, that the Pacific States are but on
the threshold Of their development, for,
while they constitute 40 per cent. Of the
area of the Union, their inhabitants form
but 8 per cent. of the total population.

The rreachery OF Jake worth.

To THE EDITOR OF THE suY-Str: In view Of the fact
that 1 am q Republican. 1 consider It my duty 70
make some response TO the attack of that man
Worth. Mr.. Plat is too much of q gentleman to
recognize such an assault on his character a. that Of
Worth. Besides. Mr.. Plat knows that the very cpl
thets hung at him are appropriate to Worth rather
to himself. Is not Worth q sneak himself and q liar
also. as proved by his underhand treatment Of tho
Republicans OF the Greater New York in cooperating
with q %Tammany newspaper. the Journai-a treach-
erous. anarchistic advocate Of dissension. riot. and
murder? In the vain hope of gratifying his personal
ambition to become a boss himself. he thinks that by
starting a new party called the "Citizens' Union
composed of Mugwumps, 8 liver Democrats, and q lot
Of other fools who don't know to what party they
belong. he will defeat the only opposing power to his
schemes. by assisting Tammany to regain Its lost grip
on New York city.
What Worth is trying to do is to defeat the Repub-
lcan party and create q party that he can boss him
self. II Mr.. Low permits himself to become Q party
to this nefarious scheme, he lowers his name to that
of Worth and his associates.
Every Republican. and, in fact. every person who
