RECIPROCITY DEFINED.
The newest and perhaps the bright
est of the great English magazines is
The Review of Reviews, edited by one
of the most famous journalists in
Great Britain, W. T. Stead, for years
the editor of the Pall Mall Gazette, of
London. The November number
contains an able article on the political
situatiou iu this country, from which
we quote the following clear exposition
of the difference betweenreciprocity
and free-trade:
"To twit the Republicans upon
their reciprocity appendags as being
inconsistent is higly absurd. The re
ciprocity policy is upon the most rigid
lines of protecton, and bears not the
faintest resemblance to the free trade
policy. Protectionism declares that
ordinary articles of consumption that
we do not and cannot produce should
be admitted free. The reciprocity
idea is that the countries from which
these articles come should in return
allow our wares those which do not
conflict with their home products to
enter their markets with special ex
emptions. The whole system is one
designed to encourage our industries
and foster our commerce. The free
- trade system would arrange tariff and
. lew taxes with the sole purpose of
providing the necessary public reve'
nue, and would keep bands off of in'
dustry and commerce, leaving all these
matters to private volition. The two
great parties are gradually ranging
themselves noon either side of the
dividing line between thete to large
opposing policies."

SOME POINTS ON PROTECTION.
We rarely read a Democratic paper
that does not advocate protection m
local affairs, and what is beneficial to
the community, is beneficial to the
state and nation. There is no law
more firmly implanted in every living
thing that exists tnan protection, ana
as an economical policy in tms nation
it is co-existent with tne nistory or
the country. In this connection we
copy the following excerpt from the
Heppner Gazette:
If the tariff is a tax, why is it that to
many articles of American manufacture are
selling lower in the markets than the actual
amount of duty on that of foreign manufac
ture; why more are lower than in the days
of free trade; why farmers' products are in
creasing in price and manufactured necetsi
ties are selling lower year by year? Our
home markets are open to American com
petition, only, that is the reason. Oar Eng
lish neighbors are thereby compelled to un
load elsewhere, their home territory not
beins of sufficient size to take nearly all of
it, and that is the reason why their money,
their press and their people cry against
America's protection and for the national
candidates of free trade tendencies. Our
neoDle cannot be expected to remember
back to an era before they were born, but
they can read and think. What was
England's policy in the inter-colonial
days remains the same, at present.
The colonies were ' manufacturing too
much, growing too independent. The
attempts to reduce them to serfdom and
poverty brought about our national inde
pendence. England's policy to-day, to ac
complish disaster for us and have their tills
running oyer, is to meddle with our nation'
al affairs. They do not own us, but they
would like to, and will practically accom
plish it if we are not on the alert.
The ring organ has cteated the im
pression abroad that the Regulator has
had a desperate fight for existence
since it has been making trips between
this city and the Locks, and has
charged the Mouktaineer and Sun
with not giving this opposition boat,
in this extremity, the support they
should. Facts in . the matter have
leaked out through a person who, we
believe, is a director, that puts a far
different phase npon the matter. It is
. stated, on this authority, that the
daily carriage of freight by this boat
has averaged 58 tons, and that it has
added over expenses, $100 to the sink
ing fund daily. Furthermore, from
this same Bourse, it is learned, that the
Regulator carries nine-tenths of the
freight to and from this city. This is
a good showing for the enterprise, and
it could not expect any greater sup
port from the community. The peo
ple of this county are heartily in
favor of the project; bnt it is not
necessary to publish a column
editorial daily in the papers regarding I
the benefits to be derived when the
figures given above are known. It is
doing a lucrative business, and is not
being forced to the wall by the Union
Pacific. Under these circumstances
the support of the press is not needed.
The Tacoma Globe says that the fact
that the morning newspapers of the
east are vigorously protesting against
the holding of the National Conven-1
tion at San Francisco, owing to the
.KinnMtnilitif rt vnnn! IT. Tl ft i a ll tr vo

paper, cnere neing tnree nours amer-
. i t j : nr I
ence in the time between San Fran
cisco and New York, will doubtless
militate against the Golden Gate city's
chances, if it otherwise had any. An
other argument is in use, to the effect
that San Francisco is too remote from
the eastern centers of population.
The time is coming when the condi- I
tions will be reversed, and the mount
ain will be compelled no more to go to
Mahomef.
Portland is opposed to the develop
ment of the Sound for well-known
reasons, and this was to be expected,
Vapp.t Sound is the finest harbor for
0- -
shiDs on the Pacific coast, and 800
(.
- miles nearer the trade of West Asia,
Japan and China than any point on
the coast by reason of the trade winds.
Aside form these, Puget Sound has
harborage for ships, and coal and agri
culture, and time will make it the great

The Ellensburgh Localizer says:
North Yakima is ahead of all the other
towns in the country in the way of shows.
She has a circus run entirely by home
talent; admission tree. They call it the
City Council, but it is a misnomer, how
ever. For the past year or more, according
to published accounts, that body has been
having a high old time at the people's ex
pense; they have the third mayor in office
inside of six months; coancilmen have, dur
ing session, accused each other of being
boodlers, liars, etc.; outsiders chip in and it
is hard to tell who are conncilmen and
who are not. The last attraction put out is
reported in the despatches. A prominent
stockholder in the electric light and water
company puts forth his strong right arm
and smites the city clerk, who seized a chair
and but for timely interference, would have
laid the e. 1. and w. man low. And all this
in a civilized city.
We do not wish to tell "tales out of
school," or else we could a "tale un
fold" which would rival this. Our
city council pledged the municipality
for $125,000 for waterworks, and the
supply is not different from what it
has been for a number of years past.
The Chic igo Inter-Oeean unmerci
fully scores Wisconsin for making the
meagre appropriation of $65,000 for
the World's Fair ; but the editor, it
seems, has not heard from Oregon yet.
This is what he says: "The Wiscon
sin World's Fair commissioners are
having poor success in their charity-
box style of trying to collect money
enough to give that state a suitable
exhibit at the fair. They have passed
the hat about in several counties and
Jackson gave them $100, but Eau
Claire and Dunn counties refused to
give anything. The funny governor
of Wisconsin has put his state in
light that is not at all funny. It is
very humiliating. And this cheese
paring economy on the part of the
governor and democratis legislature of
Wisconsin was simply to leave more
in the Dublic treasury -to be used for
I '
i olitical purp08e8 Xhey cut the
world's fair appropriation from $250,-
000. to $65,000 and then went begging
among the people. The best way for
Wisconsin to extricate herself from
8ach a numiiiat;ng position is to elect
a governor in all seriousness next
time and have no ioking about it."
Oresron has made no provisions w hat-
ever of the Coumbian Exposition,

and if these bad paid proper consider
ation to the importance of being rep
resented at the world's fair, the state
would now be erecting buildings in
Chicago for the display of our wonder
ful products in 1893.
Already some Democratic editors are
turning a horoscope for 1892, and pre
dicting a substantial victory. In or
der to accomplish this result, they cal
culate that nearly all the states which
elected Democratic governors this fall
will cast their electoral vote' for the
Democratic president next fall; bnt
this will evidently prove a delusion of
the worst kind. The electoral college,
in 1892, will consist of 444 votes, and
to secure a majority the D emocrats
must not only carry New York, New
Jersey and Connecticut, but some of
the western states, hitherto solidly He'
publican, and they cannot hope to do
so. The .Republicans can give tne
solid south New York, Nev Jersey
and Connecticut to the Democrats and
yet elect their president. Indications
are that the issues in the presidential
campaign will be distinctly marked,
and that free trade and free silver will
be placed against protection and hon
est money, and the decision of the
west will undoubtedly be in favor of
the latter. In no campaign have the
Republicans had btronger hopes of vic
tory than in the coming one next year,
and their success is almost assured.
Gov. Pennoyer has positively de
clined . being a candidate for U. S.
senator from Oregon. He considers
governor of this state a higher posi
tion, and when his term of office ex
pires he does not desire to step down
to a lower office. Perhaps the presi
dential bee is buzzing around him, and
bis ambition aims at the first or second
place in the campaign of 1892. We
have been informed by persons who
have carefully canvassed public
sentiment in the east that Mr.
Pennnoyer is frequently mentioned as
a prominent candidate, and the Re
publican party would as soon defeat
him next year as any other Democrat.
The presidential campaign in 1892
will be one of principle and not of
men.
The Tacoma Ledger, a Democratic
exchange, has the following:
The most hopeful indication of reform on
the part of the United States Senator Allen
is the fact that bis labored article recently
published in the Ledger, would seem to in
dicate to the people of the state that he has
just awakened to the realization that he is
a member of the United States senate, and
apologizes to his constituents for having
been elected as he was. Ia consideration of
the fact that Allen is the only semblance of
a United States Benator that this state has.
his apology would seem not only pertinent

states, and he has done nobly for

The absorbing question of the hour
appears to be, "Is Wealth a Failure?'
But editors are supposed not to un

debarred from its discussion.
THANKSGIVING.
Thursday from the different ros
trums in this republic eloquent ad
dresses were made upon the benefits
derived by being citizens of this
country, and the conclusion would
naturally follow that the great God of
the universe had discriminated in our
favor and particularly afflicted the
poor peasants not the cruel despotic
rulers of Russia. Why this should
be we cannot understand when the
framers of our constitution did not
have sufficient reverence for diety to
mention the name of God in that
grand instrument It may be that
our high potentates and rulers are
nearly just to the common people, and
therefore the country is blessed; and
that, because the Czar and his minis
ters have been cruel to Russian sub
jects, the land is cursed. If
this doctrine is true, there are few
monarchs in Europe who would enjoy
a single divine favor, and even in this
country we believe, without in the
least being unpatriotic, vengeance
would visit some in high places,
and there would be constant
weeping and wailing. The sub
jects of the czar are not in the least
responsible for the cruelties of the
government, neither are the citizens of
the United States the cause of the
free institutions being established -here
over a century ago by men not allied
to but a few of the present population
by any law of consanguinity, and he
who would punish the former and bless
the latter for these reasons would be
an unjust and cruel despot. Common
sense sums the matter up in a few
words. The season, by the immutable
laws of nature, has been favorable to
America and unfavorable to Russia,
In consequence, the necessities of the
far away realm of the czar has caused
a high price for the wheat of this
country, and we are benefitted by the
sufferings of our innocent fellow-men,
It may be that an all-wise and all'
merciful ruler of innumerable worlds
is highly pleased by the fulsome praise
of a few residents of this portion of
the g!obe; but the God of the gener
ous, honest man, on these Thanksgiv
ing days, would take greater delight in
unselfish donations to relieve suffering,
wherever it existed, than in ' long
prayers of praise and laudatory dis
courses. .
A BRITI8H WORKMAN SPEAKS.
The British workman has been
BtudviDi? Dohtical economy as ex-
i o w
pounded by American authors, and as
reduced to practice by the Republican
party of the United States. In its
"Labor Notes" the Manchester, Eng
land, Weekly Times, a strong advocate
of free trade says:
In Bradford (center of British worsted
goods manufactures) the greatest excitement
prevails. Mr. Benjamin Tillett has been
presented with a requisition, signed by
2000 electors, asking him to stand as a rep
resentative of the district in Parliament.
Mr. Tillett is a workman, and has
made himself distinguished as a cham
uion of the rights of labor. What
a -
concerns us in America is his bold
pronunciamento against the sitting
member for Bradford as, to use his
exact language: -
A representatiye of the old uncompromis
ing school of manufacturers who, in rigidly
applying the logical principles of free trade,
have shown little sympathy with labor.
Even in Great Britain the workmen
are learning that "the logical principles
of free trt.de" ' have little sympathy
with labor."
The Democrats will have an interes
ting fight over the next speaker of the
lower house of congress, and Roger
Q. Mills of Texas appears to be the
leading candidate. It is not expected
that the republicans will enter the
fight, except to give a complimentary
yote to some of their prominent mem
bers. The power of the speaker lies
in the appointment of committees, and
rulings on questions being discussed.
With their present maiority in con-
cress, it is earnestly hoped that the
democrats, either through the speaker,
or by some unfavorable legislation,
will do enough mischief to change the
political complexion of the following
congress. J udging tne future by tne
past this may be confidently expected.
Farmers' institutes are commenda
ble in every way the subject can be
viewed, and should be encouraged by
all classes of citizens. The wealth of
a country is more correctly judged by
its productions than by any other cri
terion, and in this age of advancement
science has come to the aid of the
farmer the same as' it has to niahy other
vocations. ' Intelligent farming in
creases the productiveness of any soil,
and he who does not study the adap
tability of his land to certain crops
is not a farmer in the fullest sense of
the word.
The slave-trade, with all its attend
ant horrors, is said to be carried on
upon the headwaters of the Amazon,
and the unfortunate victims are sold
in the interior of Brazil and Colombia.
This is a grand opportunity for the
republics of the western hemisphere to
show their appreciation of ' the rights
of man and put a stop to this barbar
ous traffic. Monarchical England has
spent millions to stop the African
slave-trade, and Republican America
should stop it on this continent.
Brazil, under Dom Pedro, as an
empire, was a progressive country,
and since it has become a republic
the same spirit is manifested. Fon
seca, as dictator, maintained his posi
tion but a short time, and free insti
tutions were reestablished without
bloodshed. Posessed of naturally rich
resources, Brazil is destined to be a
great country, and, with a firmly es
tablished form of government, will
soon take a leaning position amoug
the republics of SouthAmerica.
The Salem Statesman has a kind
word to say in favor of railroad con
nection between Astoria and the Wil
lamette valley.and we believe the press ,
of the northwest will endorse the follow,
mg from its columns: "There don't
seem to be anything definite so far
coming out of the Astoria railroad
propositions. The Southern Pacific
should step in next year and run a
definite line from the Willamette val
ley straight to tbe gateway of Oregon
the mouth of the Columbia."
This little lesson in reciprocity is
supplied by the New York Tribune:
"Since the reciprocity treaty with
Brazil went into effect on April 1st,
last, and until August 31st, our ex
ports to that country amounted to
$6,306,182, an increase over the same
period of last year of $1,169,592.
And yet the Democratic convention of
New York flippantly pronounced reci
procity a humbug.
The N. Y. Tribune says that as
Mr. Flower claims that $5000 covered
his election expenses, it is probable he
gave this amount to elect himself and
$995,000 to elect the rest of the
ticket. This is a reasonable way to
look at the matter, and may prove to
be an easy explanation of the finances
of the late campaign in New York.
Governments are made and unmade
in a day in South America. Fonseca
is no longer dictator in Brazil, because
the populace demanded his resignation,
and he quietly and sensibly acquiesced.
It will not be surprising if Dom
Pedro is welcomed back as emperor in
a few days, for these Spaniards must
have frequent changes.
Tammany controlled the recent
election in 'New York, and any one
acquainted with the history of that
organization knows that every method,
whether fair or unfair, was used to
secure a Democratic victory. To paint
Tammany white is an herculean task
on the part of the Democratic press.
Minneapolis has secured the nation
al convention of the Republican party,
and there is great joy in that portion
of the west. There can be no doubt
that city will give the Republicans a
royal welcome; but we should have
preferred San Francisco or Portland
to have secured the prize.
Terrific weather is reported east,
and snow and ice with otber elements
of winter are being experienced. In
this favored portion of the country
we rarely have winter before Christ
mas, and then it is of very short dura
tion. TELEGBAPHI0 HEWS.
The Keluetanee to Yield to America's
Beqaetit.
Valparaiso. Nov. 26. Ainerxaoa here
are not satisfied with tbe result of
tbe investigation by Judge of Crimes
Foster. Tbe Chilian government appears
willing to let matters take tbeir course,
just as if the killing; of tbe American
seamen wa an ordinary crime, to be
treated in an ordinary way. There ia no
appearance of any intention to comply
with tbe request of tbe United States for
satisfaction, and tbe indications are that
this attitude will be persistently adhered
to. While Chilians have ceased to insult
Americans, and are even seemingly
desirous of being friendly, there is an
evident reluctance to yield anything in
tbe American controversy as a matter of
pride rather than policy. Tbe English
minister at Santiago is known to have
bad a long conference with President
Montt. It is believed it was in regard
to the silver carried off on a British war
vessel in behalf of Balmaceda. Presi
dent Montt is said to claim satisfac
tion for what be consideres a breach
of neutrality on the part
Great Britain, As English idflu
ences are predominate at Santiago, it is
thought that there will not be any serious
controversy on tbe subject, it is said that
of tbe $17,000,000 expences incurred by
tne lunta in carrying on tbe revolution
between $4,000,000 and $5,000,000 is due
to parties in Jtmelund, who advanced tb
money. Among these ia Colonel North,
tbe nitrate king. The Chilian authorities
are following with great severity all per
sons who were implicated in punishing
Kicardo uummioes and other prominent
residents ot Valparaiso for an alleged
conspiracy in iavor ot tne revolution.
is said that Cummings was horribly tor
tared by order of tbe inteodento before
be was shot, in order te make him confess
the names of his supposed accomplices,
He was stretched on an improvised rack,
and his finger nails pared off by degrees,
inflicting exquisite pain. - He could not
be forced to reveal anything. Several

A Urain Blockade.
Buffalo, N- Y., Nov. 26 It is esti
mated there are 200,000,000 bushels of
grain afloat here, with more coming in
every day. The storm has kept tbe ele
vators from doing much work this week.
and if that were tbe worst of it a few days
of good weather would see tbe cargoes
out and the boats would go on their way,
Tbe elevators are almost full now. The
Erie City, Niagara, Frontier, Terminal,
umano, ana jixcDange elevators are
either full or so near it tbat a single cargo
wouta oiocK tnem, ana most ot tbe otber
active booses are not much better off. A
single tally man reports tbat he bas
seventy vessels set down on bis list, and
all are either here or under way. This
ought to be less than half tbe amount
already on the books of the elevators.
now, now it is to be bandied no one
knows. t- course, tbe elevators are not
to blame. It is tbe scarcity of cats tbat
bas caused tbe trouble. Had tbe roads
been able to handle the grain as tbev did
a month ago, there would have been no
difficulty, but tbe demand for cars in the
Ireigbt and other trades bas taken all the
roads had. The early closing oi the ca
nais adds greatly to the difficulty. Were
tbe JSrte canal to remain open an addi
tional week, tbe canal-boats would be
able to lift tbe blockade.
Plunged Into the River.
St. Petebbbubo, Nov. 28. An accl
dent attended by many deaths is reported
as having occurred on the railway
between Orol and Griaswetz, in Northern
Russia. It appears that owing to tbe
breaking of a - tire a train became
derailed at tbe bridge which crosses the
river Optukmha. Tbe engine, followed
by tbe carriages, plunged along, tearing
up tbe track and breaking through the
parapet of tbe bridge. Five carriages in
all fell from tbe biidge to tbe ice-covered
river, and, breaking through tbe ice,
were submerged, with tbeir passengers,
in tbe chilling water. Owing to tbe fact
tbat tbe accident occoned in a desolate
section of tbe country, where the officials
are few and tbe population scanty, there
was but little help in saving tbe injured,
except such as could be given by those
who bad escaped injury from one of the
lost carriages. Only one person was res
cued. Up to the present, twenty-six
corpses bave been recovered, and many
more are supposed to be under the ice.
Fifteen persons were injured.

Twt Hooting Accident.
Seattle, Nov. 24 Patrick McCarty,
of Ballard, accidentally shot and killed
himself this afternoon while hunting.
Tbe unfortunate man, in company with
J. D. Britton and Charles 6. Britton,
started early in the morning for Bitter
lake, abont six miles distant. Charles
Britton thought tbat he noticed water to
the right, and climbed a log to make an
observation. His brother did likewise,
but tbeir attention was turned by a shot,
and turning they saw McCarthy leaning
forward upon his gun. J. D. Britton
reached his side as McCarthy said, "I'm
done for," and apparently expired.
Deputy Coroner Green went to Ballard,
tooK the statement of Britton tbat Mc
Carthy was dead and returned to this
city for a wagon to go for tbe body.
Meanwhile, McCarthy bad resuscitated,
and by tbe aid of a farmer and Charles
G. Britton, was brought to Fremont and
operated upon by a pbvsiclan. but died
in a short time. Coroner Horton, on his
return irom ureenlake, stopped at Fre
mont, having heard of the case, held an
autopsy, and gave a decision of death by
accidental sbooting. Previons to bis
death, McCarthy spoke enough to show
that be stood on the log, slipped, forward
jamming the hammer of the gun sgaiost
toe toimoie.
Otto Matson, who lives at Boulevard,
north of Seattle, accidently shot himself
about 7 o clock this morning while duck
hunting on Sqaomish bay. He and his
brother were in a boat together, going up
Hood's canal in search of lind, hunting
along at the same time. Otto jerked bis
gun, and tbe hammer cangbt against tbe
boat, discharging tbe gun and filling his
left breast with heavy shot. His brother
rowed to Port Ludlow, where they took
the steamer for Seattle. On arriving
here be was taken to Providence hospital,
and on examination by the physicians it
was tound that tbe wound is verrv dan
gerous. Some of the shot penetrated the
lungs, but most of it followed the ribs
around nnder tbe flesb, lodging in the
side. Tbe "doctors have hopes of bis re
covery, ne is married.
.Railroad Projects.
Los Angeles, Nov. 24 General Man
ager K. H. Wade, of the Southern Cali
fornia railroad, returned to-day from Den
ver. He was shown a dispatch from Den
ver, in which it was stated tbat he and
other Santa Fe officials were there to ar
range a war on the Union Pacific on ac
count of tbe latter's witbdrawal from tbe
Leadville pool. u While I cannot say tbat
tbe matter will not affect trans-con tinen
tal rates." gaid Mr. Wade, "I do not
think jt very likely. Tbe business from
Leadville in hauling ore and kindred
freight is immense, and is very desirable,
but so far as I am informed on tbe
matter, it is purely a local affair and will
probably remain so." Mr. Wade stated
that all tbe surveys and plans prepared
for tbe construction of the Temecula
Canyon branch of tbe Southern California
road to San Diego, which was destroyed
bv tbe floods of two vears age. have been
rejected by the finance committee of tbe
Santa Fe, and a new survey will bave to
be made. Orders were issued for tbe im
mediate competition of tbe Mentone &
East Highland belt line in San Bernar
dino county, which will give the Santa
Fe control of tbe largest orange-shipping
points in that county. "When will you
commence work on tbe line to San Fran
cisco, Mr. Wade!" "That is a matter we
are not discussing in the newspapers."
replied tne magnate.
Aa Expert Criminal.
Dbhyeb, Nov. 24. Inquiry of tbe
chief of the Denver detectives discloses
tbe fact that J. F. Coyerle, arrested in
San Francisco is believed to be Charles
Ardine, alias Little, alias James Moore,
who pleaded guilty on the 7th of last
MsJbb to forgery, and was sentenced to
three years in tbe penitentiary. Daring
tbe morning of sentence be slipped bis
handcuffs, walked ont of the courtroom,
and was seen in Denver no mere. His
plan was to forge a check, go into a large
building, lay aside his coat and rush into
an office und say a certain man wanted
the check cashed. There are yet sixteen
indictments against bim. His discnp
tion was sent to Ban i rancisco to-day.
The Speakership.
Washington, Nov. 24. Bynum, of
of Indiana, comes out with a card with
drawing from tbe speakership contest.
in nis oara jsynum says: "1 never
pressed my candidacy, and consented
only to the tase of my name nntil it
became evident tbe contest was narrowed
down between Mills and Crisp. I shall
heartily support Mills. While nene of
tbe candidates are strong tariff reformers,
none so prominently reprentstbe position
ot too party on tms question as Mills.
Ho is known to the people as a prominent
ngnre in tne nouse on tbia question, and
bis defeat would, in a great measure, be
accepted as an abandonment of tbe issue.
Tariff is tbe issue upon wbicb we must
aim in 1892, and there should be no
semblance of wavering or baiting at this
critical period. Unless tbe parly stands
firmly and aggressively in favor of tbis
issue, the farmers of the noitbwett, who
gave ns sucb sweeping victories in 1890,
will become discouraged, and may aban
don a hope of success through the organ
izations oi our party."
An Important Decision .
South Bend, Wasb., Nov. 24. United
States Commissioner Egbert bas received
trom Register John P. Geogbegan, of the
Vancouver land office, an opinion of in
terest to hundreds of settlers in Washing
ton ana Oregon. The qaestion was:
"Are settlers who resided on unsurveyed
land prior to tbe repeal ol the pre-emp
tion laws and who intended to file under
said laws, still permitted to so file, their
lands having been recently surveyed f
.register Ueoghegan writes: "I answer
yes to tbe above qaestion. Settlement
is the initiation of pre-emption. If tbis
initiatory step was taken previous to tbe
repeal ot tbe pre-emption laws, and is
followed up witb filling of a declaratory

Satire Family tfone.
Cbabbon, Neb., Nov. ?. The death I
of Charles Barnett, a farmer aged 40
years, living about four miles south of
here, is tbe end of a chapter of fatalities
which is ont of tbe usual run. Ten
weeks ago the Barnett family numbered
eight people. Charles and his wife and
five children and Miss Martha Barnett,
his sister. One after another of tbese
have all died, and to-day not a soul re
mains of tbe family. Tbe youngest, a
child, was tbe first to be taken. Diph
theria, in a malignant form, attacked tbe
babe, and it died wi'bin two days, fol
lowed by tbo next child with tbe same
disease one day later. The other children
were attacked, but all recovered witb tbe
exception of tbe eldest, who was slow in
couvalescing. He took cold juet when it
was thought lie was getting we I, and
died. The next day one of the remaining
children fell from the too of the barn,
and when found its neck was broken.
On returning from the funeral tbe tesm
ran away and threw Mrs. Barnett and
her sister-in-law from the wagon, killing )
the latter instantly and inflicting sucb in- J
juries on toe lormer tost Btie died tbree
cays later. Two weeks ago the remain
ing child was trying to light a fire, when
her clothing caught fire and she was so
badly burned that she died. A week ago
Barnett was working in his stable, wb n
be received a kick from one of bis horses,
from tbe effect of which he died tbe next
day. bis death completing tbe round of
fatalities and finishing putting the family
out of existence. - He had no known
relatives. Tbe farm reverts to the state
unless there can be found some otber
members of tbe family.
Germany's Chancellor.
Berlin, Nov. 26 A decided sensation
was caused here to day by the announce
ment that Chancellor von Oprivi will in
all probability soon resign tbe chancellor
ship of the German empire. Tbis unex
pected news was circulated this morning
by Moehenblalt, a newspaper edited by a
deputy agent. Mochenb,lalt in announc
ing the approaching retirement of the
chancellor, says in explanation tbat the
latter is weary of holding office, and that
tbis bas caused bim to arrive at the de
cision referred to. It is inferred tbat the
retirement of Chancellor von Caprivi is
not definitely decided upon, but that it is
among the strong probabilities. The
chancellor's enemies, as soon a the report
gained circulation, started the rumor tbat
Von Caprivi has had a serious misunder
standing, and tbat he has adopted the old
Bismarkian tactics of threatening to
resign unless be has his own way. They
add tbat he will find that "Young
William" will not put up with any such
"bluffing," and -that Von Caprivi must
remember tbat though he has been a
uhigh favorite," he is lar from being the
historical personage Bismark was, and
still is in spite of everything. Of court e,
coupled with tbia r iinor is the report
tbat should Von Caprivi retire, Prince
Bismarck may be recalled to power. The
accuracy ot this rumor Is
doubted here.

A Water Famine In 31 nine.
Bangor, Nov. 26. Tbe farming com
munity of eastern Maine is suffering
severely because of s lack of water. The
failure of brooks and streams on accouot
of tbe long drought will cause a losa of
thousands of dollars to lumbermen.
Unless rain comes speady and in large
quantities no ice will be cut on the
Penobscot river. All the water flowing
past tbe ice privileges is salt, aod it wil,
take a week of rain to affect it ever so
slightly. Millions of trout in northern
Maine bave perished, owing to tbe dry
ing up of tbe streams.
