CAPITAL PUNISHMENT.
Connecticut to the Substitution ul Elec
trocution for Hanging.
Habtfobd. July 15, One of the mat
ters which may engage the attention of
the Connecticut legislature is the ques
tion of substituting electricity for hang
ing in the infliction of the death, penalty
in this state. The report of the recent
electrocution of four murderers st .Sing
Sing has led different parts of the state
to the consideration of the subject. Rep
resentative Stevens, of Bridgeport, will
probably introduce the bill. He will be
careful, however, to omit the clause re
garding secrecy, as he regards that very
un-American idea prejudicial to the in
terest of society and a direct violation of
the constitution of the United States, so
far as it relates to the" liberty of the
press. He cannot see where the slight
est goon is derived t herefrom.

ABOUT THE CROPS.
Advised to Hold Tbelr Wheat.
New York. July 17. H. W. Aver,
secretary to the president of the farm
ers' alliance, signs a circular, advising
the farmers of the West to bold tbe pro
duct of their wheat fields as long as pos
sible. in which event a substantial re
ward is sure to follow. Ibe circular
points out the fact that European crops
are worse than ever before, and that the
reserves are exhausted. All the Europ
ean governments are alarmed, and are
now taking steps to ward, on famine..
Under such circumstances, it is certain
that the true value of wheat is greater
than ever before, and farmers are ad
vised not to market their wheat, unless
they get the benefit of the rise that is
crrtsin to come.
IDLE CARPENTERS.
San Francisco is Overrun Wltb Members
of That Craft Without Work.
San Francisco, July 16. The carpen
ters' trade is said to be overdone in the
city at present. Owing to the dullness
in building operations at Denver, bait
Lake and other points near by, a num
ber of idle carpenters have drifted to
this city, and about 200 members of that
craft are thought to be out of employ
ment here now. Tbe carpenters of this
city, as well as tbe rest of the union, are
contributing to tne national strike rand,
which is rapidly growing,, acd will be
used for the general 'strike. The eight-
hour rule is in force here, so it will not
affect San Francisco, but outside of Den
ver and Seattle the building operations
in all other western cities will be tied up.

tle Christian in whom we all believe, let
us proceed in peace." " -

knocked senseless by a stone, which
struck him on the head. Policemen

tion; and that the more ignorant among
the Catholic residents declare services
shall never be held in the new church.

Tbe Peasantry Starving In Russia Good
Crops Promised In England.
i July 20.-The Time this
I morning8ay8the hATyest pr08p&.ta o
the world are as follows : "
In Russia there is a grave deficit, and
the peasantry is starving, with small
hope of relief. India is in serious anx
iety lest famine prevails over a consider
able portion of the country. -Madras,
Rajgutana and the- Fungale, are the
worst sufferers. The drouth in Bengal
is severe, and the -need of more rain is
very urgent. Bombay alone promises
good harvests. The American harvest
will be good in quality and amount but
with the failure of India aud Russia
supplies will be of the utmost impor
tance. The English crop will not be
short. The prospect on the whole is
good. In the chief wheat counties of
Essex, Norfolk and Suffolk, the crop is
above the average and in other counties
up to the average. Harvest will be late
and prices high, consequently there is a
good outlook for the English farmer to
break the long series of disastrous years.

castle ban Antonio was a monastery under
control of Jesuits. During this period
the treasure Is supposed to. have been

contract for tbe demolition of the castle
stipulated that in the event of the dis
covery of any precious metals half the
treasure belongs to the state.

GOOD READING.
In the July number of The North
American Review, the discussion on the
right uses of wealth is resumed, this
time by Baron deHirsch, the well known
Hebrew philanthropist, who has done
and is doing so much for the poor and
oppressed of his own raie. His contri
bution is not long,, but the frank state
ment which he makes regarding his
plans in "My Views on Philantrophy"
cannot fail to command wide attention.
This article is followed by two papers of
special interest to farmers. The first of
these is written by L. L. Polk, the Pres
ident of the Farmers' Alliance, on the
subject of "The Farmers' Discontent."
It is mainly an answer to the note and
comment of George E. Waring, Jr., in
The Review for June. Erastus Wiman
writes spiritedly about "The Fanner on
Top," and makes some startling state
orients concerning the exhaustion of the
world's wheat lands and the growing de
mands for food products. He predicts a
rosy future for the farmer, and not a very
distant future, either. Miss Emily
Faithfull, famous on both sides of the
Atlantic for her labors in behalf of wom
en, discusses with a zeal born pf knowl
edge the question of "Domestic Service
in England," in which she deals impar
tially with both mistress and maid. Ad
mirers of the late E. P. Whipple will
turn with interest to his posthumous es
say on "Loafing and Laboring." Mr.
Clarkson's article on "The Politician
and the Pharisee" in The Review for
May has called forth a spirited reply
from the Hon. Dorman B. Eaton, for
merly President of the' National Civil
Service Commission. Professor Richard
T. Ely, of Johns Hopkins University,
contributes a paper on "The Inheritance
of Property." Francis B. Thurber, the
well known New York merchant, writes
about "Industrial and Financial Co-operation,"
dealing with distributive co
operation and with the recent great-
combination commonly known as
"trusts." "The Relations of Literature
to Society" are considered in an enter
taining way by Mrs. Amelia E. Barr,
who contends that. good writer receive.
all the attention from the social world
that they deserve. Something about
"The Art of Magic", is contributed by
that master of the art, Chevalier Herr
mann, who leaves his readers in a puz
zled state of mind before a shattered
mirror which he has succeeded in res
toring without flaw or blemish. The
last of tbe principal articles in this in
teresting number is from the pen of
Professor Charles A. Briggs, whoBe re
lations with the Union Theological Sem-
i inary were the subject of a great dis-
. . i .1 T

HOW HE KNEW IT.
' Last November a gentleman from the
east was in Portland looking for invest
ments for-himself and friends, and while
in a barber shop was looking over the
advertisements of a ten-dollar excursion
to Baker City. He thought that tbe
charming little city might be' a good
place to put'ifi some money and began
asking questions about the place, satis
fying bis curiosity as far as possible.
Just as he started to leave the shop he
chanced to see a Baker City paper on
the table. He picked it up and glancing
it over saw a notice Bigned by the bar
bers of .the city stating that the price of
hair cutting would be reduced from 50 to
25 cents from that date. He took that
as an evidence of improvement in times,
and called the attention of the "knight
of the strop" to the announcement.
"Don't go there, my friend," advised the
barber, "for it is dead sure that tbe
bottom has dropped out. In a mining
town, when the barbers drop the" price
of shaving or haircutting to less than
four-bits, there is no money to be had,
and you will find all the gamblers have
skipped and the town is dead." The
speaker bad been on the coast forty
vears. and having watched the same
thing in other places, spoke from exper
ience. The way the boom collapsed at
Baker proved that the tonsorial artist
was pretty level-headed. It is the ex
perience of every such town on the
coast.
LINCOLN'S PROPHECY.
The prophecy made by President Lin
coln in a letter to a friend near the close
of the war is being circulated in printed
form among- the labor organizations of
Chicago. After speaking of tbe struggle
which was drawing to an end, Lincoln
said :
It has been a trying hour for the re
public, but I see in the near future a
crisis arising that unnerves me ana
causes me to tremble in fear for the
safety of my country. As a result of the
war corporations have been enthroned,
an era of corruption in high places will
follow,' and the money power of the
country will endeavor to prolong its
reign, by working upon the prejudices of
the people, until all the wealth is aggre
gated in a few bands and the republic is
destroyed.' I feel in this moment more
anxiety for my country than ever, before,
even in the midst of war. God grant
that my suspicions may prove ground
less. Thousands of slips have been printed
and postal cards with the prophecy on
them have been sent broadcast through
the mail. No one seems to know who is
tbe author of the movement, but all la
bor organizations are Hooded with the
slips and cards, . .
Tbe Oregonian is undoubtedly a great.
newspaper but it does, every now and
then, get off some things that would dis
grace the volumns of a third rate back
woods county paper with a patent out
side. Yesterday it devoted nearly half
a column of editorial, in denouncing as
the "acme of human selfishness" and
the "inconsistency of fanaticism," the
"frenzied cry" to the Lord to "spare
him" of.the many friends of the great
London preacher, Spurgeon, who meet
daily in the Tabernacle, so long the
scene of his labor and triumph, to lov
ingly remember him in prayer before
God. In the presence of these thous
ands of sorrowing men and women,
(many of whom own him as their spirit
ual father, and all of whom delight to
call him a friend and brother) pouring
out their helpless grief into the ear of
tbe Almighty, on his behalf, one would
indeed think that a less reverent pen
might well pause before it would write a
a line of condemnation or criticism.
If it can be demonstrated that the
sugar beet can be grown successfully in
Eastern Oregon, and we know no reason
why it should not, it is possible to add
another element to our industrial pros
perity.' It has been demonstrated in the
factories at Alverado, California, and at
Grand Island, Nebraska, that sugar can
be made in this country much cheaper
than it can be made abroad. With the
great impetus to business the two-cent
bounty gives the industry it can be made
to become one of the leading ones of the
United States. At the factories in Utah
one half the amount of the sugar con
sumed in the territory will be produced.
A late telegram informs us that this fall
at Marshalstown, Iowa, another large
factory will be started and simultane
ously six more institutions will be put in
operation in Nebraska, Kansas and
Western Iowa.
- A wonderful feature in modern jour
nalism is the growth of tbe afternoon
papers. "Today's news today" seems
to be demanded. Even the morning
papers are yielding to tbe popular de
mands and are publishing evening
editions. . Tbe truth is the majority of
readers have no time to devote to their
newspapers until night. Sucb is the de
mand for tbe very latest news that the
morning paper is cast aside for tbe one
issued in the evening, which contains
not only tbe best of the news in the
morning papers, but likewise the hap
penings throughout the world up to the
hour of going to pree. So perfect, too, is
tbe present method of news eathering
that people are enabled to read at sup
per news of all the important occurren
ces of the day.
An item is going the rounds of the
press to the effect that a young working
man in Dubuque, Iowa, bought a colored
'shirt. In tearing off the tag. he discov
ered a note therein requesting the pur
chaser to correspond with the maker of
the shirt in New Jersey manufacturing
town. She said she was working for
starvation wages, and hoped to find a
borne and a husband, when she would
be happy. He wrote to her, and was
pleased with her replies, went to New
Jersevand married her. Three weeks
after they were united for life she re
ceived a letter from England, the home
of her ancestors, containing a draft for
$5,000 and a notification of the fact that
she was sole heir to a fortune of over
$750,000..
Sir John Macdonald's widow, says the
New York Sun, will hereafter be coun
tess or Lady Earnscliffe. It is not yet
made known whether her new rank will
extend to her heirs, but it is thought
that without doubt ber son, Hugh Mac
donald, will succeed to the title, because
such has been the custom following the
patent of an Earldom. " However, if she
has also obtained a subordinate title as
Baroness, in addition to the higher title,
her son will be called Baron during .ber
lifetime by courtesy. At her death both
titles will be his. Hugh Macdonald is
an able and successful man in profes
sional life.
A newspaper directory just issued re
ports Oregon's thirty-one counties as
having 131 newspapers,' fifteen of which
are dailies, and nearly all of the remain
der weeklies. Of course Multnomah is
tbe banner county, having four dailies,
and twenty-eight weeklies and month
lies. Seven counties Crook, Curry,
Josephine, Klamath, Lake, Malheur and
Sherman, are reported as having but
one paper each. There is no county In
the state without a newspaper. In Linn
there are eight, two of which are pub
lished daily. Lane has six, Polk four,
Benton, five, Umatilla seven and Clatsop
has five.
If a farmer has a good thing to sell,
takes proper measures to let it be known
and has good facilities for getting it to
market, he will pretty surely obtain a
good price for it. There is a market for
first-class articles of every kind, especi
all articles of food. Sixty odd million
of people consume a vast quantity of eat
able every day in the year, and among
these millions there are vast numbers
who think "the best is good enough for
them" and are willing to pay a fair price
for what thev want. It takes time to
get up a solid reputation as a supplier of
"All" goods, but once established it is
worth a gold mine.
In Spain, France j Ireland and some
parts of England, a tinker is held in
such abhorrence by the- common people
as to make it almost impossible for him
to get a meal or find lodgings for the
night. The reason alleged is that whe'n
the blacksmith was ordered to make
nails for Christ's crucifixion he refused,
but the tinker made them and Christ
condemned him and all of his race to be
wanderers, and never have a roof of their
own to cover their heads until the world's
end..
