FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 1, 1895.

JAMES WHITCOMB RILEY has completed a new series of poetns in which he varies the treatment of each one to such an extent that they are said to show the Hoosier poet's versatility to a remarkable degree. He has given the series to the Ladies' Home Journal in which the first is about to be published. A. B. Frost has been engaged by the magazine to illustrate the poems.

INDIANAPOLIS Journal: During uie first two years" of the administration of Benjamin Harrison more than 8200,000,000 of the public debt was paid and with it forever canceled an annual item of 810,000,000 of interest. During the first two years.of the present administration the public debt was increased 8164,000,000 and the annual interest account 88,000,000, and the excess of expenditure over income goes on at the rate of from 85,000,000 to 87,000,000 a month. The country has paid dearly for "four, years more of Grover."

THE receipts of the Treasury have fallen behind the expenditures at the rate of about 850,000,000 per annum. We have increased the national debt by 8102,500,000 thus far under this Administration. -The Treasury is not paying the appropriations made by Congress, and has adopted all kinds of subterfuges to prevent such payments, such as the establishment of a Su Dreme Court in a bureau of the Government at Washington. Our exports have fallen oil more than 8120,000,000 per annum, as compared with the last two years of the McKinley law. Our 'imports are increasing We are im porting the common articles of agricultural and of mechanical and industrial production, the things which can be producedj by American labor, and we are sending abroad our money to pay, in this indirect way, the labor of

Europe, Asia, and Africa. While this condition exists, labor in thiB country iB yet largely unemployed' and, outside of a few branches, is being remunerated at a figure far below the McKinley times of 1^92. If this be prosperity vre have it.

EARTHQUAKES.

The talk of the town Thursday was -of the earthquake which occurred in the morning at about 5:15 o'clock. The tremor was felt by everybody who were awake at that hour, and those who were asleep were awakened by the subterranean noises. The movement was north and south and the experiences of the people are various and amusing. It is said that no portion of the earth's surface is exempt from the influence of earthquakes, but they are the most fre-

quent around the. lines or centers r.f volcanic action. However, districts in which there are extinct volcanoes are not more liable to such irritations than non-volcanic regions. All Unorists are agreed as to the connect ion between volcanoes and earthquakes— that they are produced by the suitie subterranean agency. The existence of molten matter in the interior of the earth is the starting point of all. The earth is full of cavities. Into these cavities water sinking down through the crevices from the seas or the land must be constantly finding its way. The steam thus gathered exerts such enormous pressure as to force the molten matter to the surface, itself mingling and escaping along with it. When a mass of water is suddenly precipitated into a hot cavern, the explosion of steam will cause an earthquake concussion, and when there is no exit, may be sufficient to convulse and rend the superincumbent strata. On these theories may be accounted the presence of our natural gas. The shock Thursday morning may be the means of giving us a new supply in abundance. Now would be a good time to sink a well to see what the earthquake has done for us.
