their treasury being robbed at this tiire There is nothing iu it.
tiike the laat rose of summer Parnell iu left booming alone, political friends have all deserted him and he can now devote all his attention to hi» new wife.
His
Tim country is after facts In regard to exports from the United States to Mexi co. If the exports are'only large and steadily growing the facts can be a! lowed to reel for a time.
NKW tactics for the army have been approved by the secretary of war, and they will soon be put in practice. It is not expected that they will reduce the jui»ntity of red tape now in use.
AIJ.EN Cor.NTY, this state, has a postoftice in a saloon and another in a barber shop. Further west it is the fashion to have them in drug stores, which are very near relatives of the saloon in that country.
Tuk remains of Congressman W. L, Scott have been placed iu a mau floleum which cost 950,000, but when fjabnel blows his horn It will be beard just as distinctly in potter's Held as in thl- costly ed I lice.
THAT blatant blatherskite, Lucy Par sons, has broken out again in Chicago She still advocates minder and anarchy If she is allowed to continue her harangues there will soon be cause for a few more hangings In the windy city.
Tin: coal mines of this country give employment to more than 525,000 men and boys, who earned $106,937,0f8 in 1881). As the coal mining industry iu the far west has not yet been developed tho number must necessarily increase greatly in a few years.
some time the weather buronu
has only been twenty four hour* behind time with it* predictions. If it would conllno itself to keeping a recoi'd of the weather all would be well, but when it undertakes a prediction it generally gives itself away. As a prophet the weather bureau, has boon a howling •fiilluro for Nome time.
THK total niimbor of immigrants who arrived in the United States ports from foreign countries, except Canada and Mexico, during August was •I5l172agalnst :17,.'W1 durinx tho saiu month last year. This country is losing none of Hsattrtiotlons for the foreigner, and thoso who come hero to make good citizens are al •ways welcome.
Hont parties are claiming success in Iowa the republicans on account of good times and tho success of tho McKiniey bill, and tho democrats because they arc opposed to prohibition. Tho light ione of the most bitter ever waged in the state, and as (Jovernor Holes has presitlal aspirations the result is looked forward to with much interest.
A Noitra DAKOTA farmer has fallen heir to a large Scotch estate, an earldom and a seal in the English house of lords Strange to say he is in no hurry about leaving his northwestern home, and when he does go to tako possession of his title and estate he will doubtless find life so dull there that he will wish himself back again on this side of the At lantic.
IT turns out after alt that tho Knglinh troops not ot»\v landed on tho island of t^igri, but placet! mines across the harbor's mouth and landed eight guns. Of course ther is no serious intention of taking possession of theisland at that time, but it demonstrated England's Ability to do it, and If occasion requires it the willingness will not be found wanting.
TnK exports from this country during .August last were «,7."0,?S3, an Increase of $U,"xU,43S over the corresponding mouth of last year. The August imports amounted to $»?8,S$M,754, an increase of ®7,tf$4,:U4 over August l.sw. The exports increased a little over 22 per cent., and the imports l-'s percent., a net .gain of 1VS P^r «*»t»t. io favor of the fxjMrts. The MoKinley bill is to blame for this just as you look at it politically,
Tm endowment fraternities of Marylaud have gone into politics, and are forming their Hues lo defeat the democratic candidate for attorney general, who has expressed a desire to wipe them out of the state.

THE telegraph yesterday morning told the story of one way they have of ending a strike in Arkansas. It, appears that a strike among negro cotton pick era culminated in a rfot. Two of the rioters were killed by sheriff's posae and nine were captured. On the way to the county neat the nine prisoners were taken from the officers by another mob and hung. There is nothing to show that any of the whites were injured, and it is presumed that the strike is ended.
GKNKKAL BOVLAXOER, the noted French political sensationalist, blew out bis brains on the grave of his mistress at Brussels last Wednesday. At one time be was a gallant soldier, but of late years became one of the most sensational extremists in the most sensational country in the world, and finally capped the climax by deserting his wife and child to live with a mistress, on whose grave he committed the last rash act of his life. In the death of such men the world loses nothing.
MOKTKKEORO has ordered thirty cruisers of English ship builders to be used in the Mediterranean. As the ruler of that country cannot squeeze money enough from his subjects to defray bia household expenses, there is no doubt that be is being used as a cats paw by Russia who is furnishing the money for the new ships, with the intention of using tbem In the eyent of war. Evidently the powers of Europe are giving Russia every opportunity to make ample preparations for the inevitable conflict.
THE troubles in China have become so serious that both England and Germany threaten to interfere for the protection of their citizens. It seems that the Cbiuose government is unable to control its subjects iu their lawless acts, although it has promised to do so. The two European powers named say they want no more promises, but the fulfillment of those already made. If China remembers a former experience with England, when the latter sacked Pekin, an oxtra effort will doubtless be made to avoid British interference in behalf of British subjects.
JRU&SIA'S EXTREMITY. If reports received from Russia this week are true the poor of that czar ridden country must bo in a pitiable plight. The crops have been a failure, tho cattle plague is raging, the small juantity of grain the couutry possessed has nearly all been exported and the peasants ure literally starving to death. They are compelled to eat food which oven tho stock of their masters refuse. In addition to the starving condition of tho people their cattle are being carried ofl by the plague, while tires have in many instances consuutod their property. It is estimated that thegovernment will have to support these people fourteen months boforo they will again be able to tako caro of themselves.
In the faco of all this there is no reduction lu taxes, which must in some manuor be met promptly, while Russia goes on with her preparations for war and keeps all Europe in a state of excitement. It may be that the condition of things is not as bad as has been represented, but undoubtedly it is bad enough. Some would think that famine such as is described would prevent war, but such is not always the case In
Curope. When limes are hard there and people are out of work It Is an easy matter to obtain rescrults for the army, and Russia is probably actively engaged filling tho ranks at the same time that theczar is tilling the mouths of his subjects. Following these reports of pertllenceand famine it will be interesting to watch tho course of Russia during the next few months, and the prediction is asafeono that there will be no relaxation the war preparations which have been going on for several years.
