Two more oitizena joined him, and he was then marched to the look -up and told that he was prisoner, charged with at- tempted burglary the „night before. Two of the men positively identified him as the maxi they had seen running away from the jewelry store. Seeing it was no use to talk he kept still, and they went through him. They found nothing suspicious, but they held to their case, and he was looked ftp and loft alone.

They are not enough to hold the balance of power, which is the important thing. Never'thelees public men regard the development of the alliance movement as by no means insignificant. Though their num• hers in the Fifty-second Congress cannot turn a vote one way or the other, their influence will probably be considerable, chiefly because of their spreading influence throughout the country.

The cry is for more money, and it seems that something must be done in this Oongrees or in the next to satisfy the call. It is urged upon the Republicans that if something is not done to satisfy the clamor it will grow so as to serious ly threaten the party, During the Fifty-second Congress. where the al liance will have actual representa- tion, its influence will probably be more strongly felt. Representative Sayers, who is the Democratic expert on the Apprnpri• ation Committee, where he holds about the same position that Mr. Randall used to held, is coneerued about the enormous obiigation., which have been incurred under this Congress, and believes that the Iy Demrcrats will bav a heavy burden to bear in the Fifty second Congress, coming as a legacy from this. The Democrats will, he says, have to practice the most rigid economy, cutting down expenditures where they can, In the present coudition of the Government funds he finds a fulfilment of hie predictions made early last session. He says the Democrats have a great reaponsi bility to carry with their victory, and that they will have to exercise great wisdom in their management of affairs in the next House. There must be no partisan legislation and no attempt at partisan management in the House. The duty of the Demoorate will be, he says, to cut down appropriations ss low as pos- sible ; to pees a bill for the free coinage of silver promptly, and pass a tariff hill which will give the relief the prople demand.

Unless p. aper 1!. formation is appended to the invite• tions or communicated in some way to the various foreign goverornew there is apt to be some confusion, arising out of the fact that while the Fir ofliciaily opcni in April, 180.2, the Pair will not redly begin till in October following. The candidates for '92 are being discussed with almost as mnclt narn• estness as if the noininating con- ventions were about to be hold. It is astonishing what a near approach to unanimity there is hi the opinion that the two man brought to the head of their respective parties by the result of the election are Blaine imprisonment, and I won't atatid it: ' 'If the officers don't know their business I can't help it.' 'Well, I find you to be a disorderly person, and I fine you $5 and a month in jail 1 If you'll get out of town I'll remit the jail' part.' 'And I must pay $5 because your officer made a mistake 2' queried the Detroiter.' 'Certainly. While we were fool- ing with you the man we wanted got away. And more heeitetlon will be contempt of court and a hundred dollars fine and six months in jail. Train is about due and my buggy is outeide. He rode down with him, and as the train moved off 'his honor' said 'Yon got out of this mighty lucky, olrl, fellow !

More women in proportion to population are employed in indus trial occupations in England than in any other European country : 12 per cent of the industrial classes are females. Though the population of the U. S. is in excess of that of Great Britain, the British railways last year carried 755,000,000 passengers as against 495,000,000 in America. The Minnesota lumber cut this year will exceed that of last year by several million feet. The esti• mate places it at not less than 825,- 000,000 feet, and not more than 350,000,000.

Tho nee German farmers put the light to in °etching the fly of the nun cater- pillar, which has done so much damage in parte of Germany this summer, was, perhaps, the first great application of electricity to invent catching. But electric lights aro everywhere working havoc with insects. Prof. Lintner, entomolo- gist, estimates that the debris he collected from a single electric light represented 133,000 insects, Of course, useful insects may be as ruthlessly slaughtered by the light as useful ones but the matter may, nevertbelese; have a very practical bearing. Gardens and orchards With tiny electric lights blazing out here and there to catch moths may be amongst the common things of the fuiure when electricity becomes cheaper. DEo. 5, 1890. EAT CASH SALE.
