There is great complaint in England,
Franc* and Germany of the tendency of
the rural population to leave the country
and go to large towns. That is the case
here, adds the Atlanta Constitution.
N'inty-five per cent, ot all the monej
transactions in the associated banks of
New York arc accomplished by means of
checks and drafts, leaving five per cent,
of the total business to be representu 1 by
coin or paper money.
This tot ought to live long and pros

he “caught on.”
Perhaps, muses the New York Com
inercial Advertiser, science will some
day teach us how to use petroleum in
military operations, when wc will have
an agency by which our harbors may be
converted into Infernos to consume the
navies of the world.
The Carson (Nev.) Appeal says that s
little insect that fastens itself on the
wire fences in the fall, and exudes a
sticky, glutinous substance, is often re¬
sponsible for broken fences. The insect
remains glued to the wire all winter, and
in the spring the wire parts at that point.
There are just 1157 millionaires in
New York City, according to tho Tri¬
bune's final reckoning, The Vander

Smith family lead all the rest with
eight.
[ “Tho Bering Sea offers less attractions
to Canadian poachers this year than
last,” argues the San Francisco Chroni
cle. “Very few of them feel iuclined
to take any risks, so we may safely con
c.ude that the close season under exist¬
ing arrangements will prove a complete
success.”
The revolution that electricity is work¬
ing is shown in the auction sale adver¬
tised, in the Boston Transcript, of $500,
000 worth of stables by the West End
Street Railway Company. “The electric
carriage,” comments tho Transcript,
is - perambulating -Common
avenue and our suburban roads now¬
adays points the way to still greater
changes—when hevay teams and tii
cyclcs will discharge draught horses and
saddle horses and make stables, in town
at least, absolutely unnecessary.”
Miss Angelina Brooks, who is a recog¬
nized authority on all questions of kin¬
dergarten methods, has recently devoted
her time to a careful investigation of the
curbstone children in this city, 3ays the
New l r ork Commercial Advertiser. She
has ascertained that there are 140,000
boys and girls between the ages of four
aud six who spend their lives iu the
streets and never once see the inside of a
school. She is trying to eulist sympathy
for these unfortunate waifs which will
ultimately lead to the establishment for
them of free kiudergarten school.
It is asserted that after this year the
United States will not only be able tc
stop importing fruit, but will begin to
be a factor iu supplying the markets of
the world. The estimate is that New
York will have 29,000,000 pounds of
fruit from California alone this summer.
Fast fruit trains now cross the continent
in seven days, and enable the growers to
harvest a riper product than heretofore.
Arizona and Oregon are coming to the
front as fruit states; Mississippi is getting
famous for tomatoes, and Florida oranges
and Georgia peaches are always sure of a
ready market. The outlook has never
been so promising.
Frank Leslie’s Weekly states that the
State of Pennsylvania shows the largest
percentage of foreign born adult males
who are aliens, the percentage in that
State being 35.13 of the total number,
representing 139,522 persons. In the
State of New York, 19S.t5I4 foreigu
bom adult males, or 23.13 per cent., are
aliens, and iu Nev Jersey, 41,877 or
2S.87 per ceut. are aliens. New York
shows the greatest number of naturalized
foreign-born adult males, there being iu
that State 416,362, or 60.74 per cent,
of the total number of foreign-born adult
males returned. The city of New York
shows the largest perceutage of foreign
born of the total population, the foreign
element in that city representing 42.23
per cent, of the total population as
against 39.6S per cent, in 18S0. Buffa¬
lo shows 35.00 per cent, of foreign-born
as against 33.05 per cent, in 18SC,
Brooklyn shows 32.46 per cent., an in¬
crease from 31.36 per cent, in 1SS0.
Long Island City has a foreign-born
population of 36.67 per cent., while in
1880 the foreign-born element in that
city was 34.27 per cent, of the total
population; sixteen places show a great¬
er per cent, of foreign-born population
in 1890 than is shown in the State as a
whol*, while in 1880 nineteen places
were reported as having a larger percent*

Justice Thompson, of Greenfield, has
had to undertake the somewhat difficult
task of defining drunkenness in the Su¬
perior Court, chronicles the New York
Sun. He laid it dowu that beeaue a
man, as a result of drinking, was unduly
patriotic, or had been stimulated to the
expression of pious or sacred sentiments,
or had awakened his faculty for jest and
humor, he was not necessarily to be con¬
sidered drunk. Finally, the Judge de¬
clared that a man was drunk when lie
had lost control of his physical and men¬
tal faculties.
Among the other great things in this
country, the number of its high mouu
tains is a remarkable feature Including
those of Alaska, there are 3(>0 mountains
in the United States each exceeding
10,000 feet in height. Most are in the
Rocky and Sierra Nevada ranges, and
the greatest number are found in Colo¬
rado and Utah. In Alaska, however,are
the highest, there being in that Terri¬
tory five which each exceed 15,000 feet,
and Mount Elias, also iu Alaska and
19,500 feet high, is the loftiest peak in
l .he United States territory.
Two Southern women, who are the
editors of the Arkansas Women’s Chroni¬
cle, have recently achieved a remarkable
feat in local politics. At the school
election in Little Rock there were two
tickets in the field. The Woman's
Chronicle split the tickets, taking JtJjg
best man fr?jtn each side. Although it
poured all day long, more than 3U00
votes were cast as against 80U at the last
election, and the split ticket was elected
by an emphatic majority. The bravery
t>f this action can the better be appre¬
ciated, says the New York Commercial
Advertiser, when it is added that both
women are school teachers, and by pur¬
suing the course they did they jeopar¬
dized their positions in event of defeat.
Among the stories of Herr Forken
beck, the late chief burgomaster of Ber¬
lin, which are being revived in this. As
President of the North German Reichstag,
he was sent in 1871, with Von Stauffen
berg, to Versailles, to congratulate th<
Prussian Kiug upon his election as E n
peror. Bismarck, who had just con¬
cluded the terms of peace with France,
invited them to supper; and at that re¬
past the Kaiser’s chief counselor said:
“This night, at 12 o’clock, the Iasi
shots will be exchanged between out
troops and the French, and I have con¬
ceded to the French the honor of the
last shot.” Forckenbeck and his col¬
league left their host before midnight,
drew out their watches, stood under¬
neath a lantern of the Hotel du Reser¬
voir and waited. First, there was a
cannon-shot trom the German troops,
then a solemn stillness. Then followed
the last reply from Mont Valerien. The
tower-clock at Versailles struck twelve;
the French War had ended.
The scientists representing the Sat
Francisco Academy of Sciences, who
went on an expedition of research into
Lower California, returned the other day
with rich collections of bugs, bones,
plants, and with baskets, earthen ware,
and other products of the Indians who
people the peninsula. “The popular idea
about Lower California, that it is a dry,
desert-like region,” says Professor Eisen,
the entomologist ot the party, “is an in¬
correct one. The lower part of the pen¬
insula is not only a tropical country, but
an exceedingly interesting and fertile
one, covered with trees and rich vege
tation. The valley about Sau Jose del
Cabo is irrigated by the largest river in
the peninsula, carrying 1500 feet of water
in the dryest season. Picturesque mount¬
ains rise on either side, and the valley is
filled with field of cotton, beans, maize,
etc. There is a great variety of tropical
fruits, palms aud trees of many kinds,
and the whole valley is a mass of rich
vegetation.” Atnoig the new trees seen
was a variety of cottonwood called the
“juerigo” (botanical name, popuius
monticola), which is tall, straight, with
a light green foliage and a rose-colored
wood, valuable for cabinet purposes.
Seeds of this tree will be planted in Cali¬
fornia. The baskets brought home were
made out of the leaves of the yucca
plant, and are watertight. The Indian*

stones into the water used.

The most valuable and costly present
received by the King and Queen of Den

most 450 pounds.
The crushing power of domestic sor
row is strikingly manifest in the lives of
two queens, remarks the Chicago
Graphic. The sad later history of the
Empress Eugenie is well known. Nol
so well, however, is that of the Empress
Elizabeth, of Austria, who, once uoted
for equal beauty, has now lost both that
and brilliancy of mind. She is expect¬
ing to summer at Carlsbad in strictest

A company has been incorporate! in
New Jersey for the manufacture of
membranoid, a fancy leather mile fr >:n
tripe—nothing else than tanned tripe.
The patent-office authorities insisted
that tripe was tripe, no matter throu gt
what chemical process it might have
been put, and some time elapsed and
there was much parleying before a com¬
promise was affected 011 the name of the
product now called membranoid. This
new species of leather is said to be pretty
and durable.
A prosperous German residing ic
America writes of a recent visit to his
native country, thus: “One day I saw a
review of cavalry in Berlin. There were
thousands of meu cantering gayly along
for the entertainment of the vouag Em
peror the ., War Lord as he calls him
self. The next day I went into the
country, and not very far from the cap
itat I saw a sight 0 that was pitiful R
enough. One woman was holding a
plow, and this was being dragged
through . , the Al earth , by , two other women
and a dog harnessed together. Here,
then, were two pictures—the idle horses
-and the idte meaner rag-about Berlin, ,
the women and dogs doing the work of
men and horses in the country l”
“There is no Government in the civil¬
ized world, except possibly Russia,
which is not to some extent under the
domination of popular opinion,” declares
Henry Loomis Nelson in Harper’s Maga¬
zine. “The present Emperor of Ger¬
many is the most virile monarch in Eu
rope, but he dare not oppose too griev¬
ously the will of his subjects. If there
is any written instrument of government
powerful beyond all other laws, it is our
own Constitution, for it is the rule of
action prescribed by the people for the
guidance aud control of their agents.
But the history of the Federal power
shows that there is a power above the
Constitution, and that is the power ot
popular opinion. There have often been
times when the Constitution has not
stood in the way of the people's will.
Even the Supreme Court will change its
mind if the people are persistent. It
has not been always necessary for popu
lar opinion to demand the breaking or
flexion . of , the . Constitution; _ ., . it ., . only ,
is
necessary that it should approve what
has been done. The purchases of Lou¬
isiana and Alaska, and the many in¬
stances of executive and legislative acts
during the war of the rebellion that were
clearly beyond the constitutional grants
of power, are cases in point which will oc¬
cur to anyone who is at all familiar with
our constitutional history.”
Referring to the recent alarm near
Pottsville caused by the fear that a leak¬
ing dam might burst the Philadelphia
Ledger says: “There is something
wrong about dam building in Pennsyl¬
vania or the water reservoirs of the State
would be able to withstand summer
storms.” No doubt, also says the New
York Herald, this warning is needed,
not only in Pennsylvania, but in other
States, and especially in all localities
where the topography admits of a sud¬
den concentration of torrential rains. In
cloudbursts the descending sheet of water
gains greater force than large meteorites
which have buried themselves in solid
rock. In the cloudburst at Fort Elliott,
Texas, in May, 138S, hailstones fell in
heavy masses and lay in drifts six feet
deep on Sweetwater Creek. After the
famous tornado at Hollidaysburg, Penn.,
in 1838, the earth presented the appear¬
ance of having been bombarded, not by
drops, but by masses of water, excava-
1 ting here and there “a great hole 01
basin.” To be storm-proof, dams ii
mountainous districts should hereafter
be amply strong enough to resist such
glacial or aqueous artillery discharged
from the clouds. And if they cannot be
made secure they should be built only ia
places where, in case of bursting, th*
resulting flood will not leap and swoop
down upoD defenceless and unsuspecting
towns and villages, but will expend it*
force harmlessly.

LOOK OUT, REFORMERS.
We are tol l by the machine men of
the old parties, says the Progressivi
Farmer, that our silver do lar is only
worth 70 cents. Many of our people re¬
member about twenty years back there
was issued from the United -tates mints
a beautiful whit* 1 coin about the size of
our present beautiful “In God we Trust”
c ilver dollar. The beautiful coin referred
to was the celebrated and long-to-be
remembered “trade dol ar.” No sooner
had this trade dollar found its way into
the p ckets of the laborers and producers
in payment for their labor
products, dollar for dollar, th-m it
was called in and the banks would
receive them on deposit at 80 cents.
When thev were all in the vaults of the
banks at 80 cents each, then by special
act of congress the 0&' ks turned them
into the treasury of the United States at
par, dollar for dollar, and the people
were robbed of 20 dollars out of every
100. That s’eal worked so well then
that it may be well for the people to
watch out for another. Whenever ^ne
of plutocracy’s henchmen tells you that
a silver d i’ar is not worth but 70 cent*,
remind him that your eyes arc open now
aud that you are not the “blind purp”

THE HERALD’S VIEWS.
The New York Herald, the biggest
and one of the most reliable papt rs in
the world, has this to sav about the new
party: “Its origiu dates u ack but a few
years, aud is to be found in a widespread
feeling of laiunrs that they were op¬
pressed with burdens due to goveru
mtmal policies and legislation detrimen¬
tal to the interests of the agricultural

classes in general. At first it Was sought

South the greatest strength of the move
mtDt has oeen deve oped in Soutn Caro¬
lina (which is practically under the con¬
trol of the Farmers’ Alliance), North
Carolina, Georgia and Texas. In the
silver States also the party claims sub¬
stantial supp rt.
In the first national convention at Oma¬
ha a more comprehensive name has been
adopted than that of Farmers’ Alliance
and a broader scope taken than that of
ngi icuitural interes's. It is now the peo¬
ple’s party, and it boasts ‘a union of the
abor forces of the United States.’ The
principles and purposes of the party are
set forth in its Omaha platform. After
reciting many evils in the government
a> d tendencies of to-day, it declares that
‘our annual agricultural productions
amount to billions of dollars in va ue,
which inusi within a few weeks or mor ths
be exchanged for billions of dollars or
commodities consumed in their produc¬
tion; the existing currency supply is
wholly inadtquate ton ake this exchange;
the iesults are fulling prices, the forma¬
tion of combines and rings »nd the im¬
poverishment of the producing class.’
The platform then goes on to demand
a natioral currency—a fuff legal tender
for all debts, public and private—issued
by the general government with ut the
aid of banking corporations; the free
»nd unlimited coinage of silver and a
speedy increase of the circulating me¬
dium to not less than fifty dollars for
every person in the country. It de¬
mands a graduated income tax and that
all State and national revenues be limited
io the necessary expenses of the govern¬
ment economically and honestly admin¬
istered. In other words, no high tariff
lor protection of favored indu-tries and
cai italists. It demands that postal
banks be established by the government;
that alien ownership of land be p ohib
ited, and that all land now held by rail¬
roads and other corporations in excess of
their actual nee is be reclaimed by the
government and hel 1 for actual settlers
only. It declares that all railroads, tel—
egrai h lines and telephones must be
owned and operated by the government
u the interest of the people, and that
any international waterway like the Ni¬
caragua Cana!, deemed necessary or de
shab e, be cc 3tructed and controlled by
*be government of the United States.”
Nevada “ Diamonds.”
Some months ago Bob Logan of Bruns
wick found a stow? in Pine Nut which
he thought might be a diamond. He
took it to San Francisco and a lapidary
there pronounced it a white topaz weigh¬
ing twenty-six carats. The stone was
divided in hall and one-half cut into a
brilliant and set in a ring. It is a very
