Indeed, the administration was defeated on every turn, and the 1 predictions made in this eorres|K>n* denee, two weeks ago, haveeoiue true 1 to tllO letter. There was no; mincing matters by the Southern and Western S^A^tors. They came out squarely for tnf^free coinage of both gold and silver, and > although the president, Windoin, . Heed, Sherman, and all the other 4 gold bugs, made the greatest effort to forco jtlie Western ltopubliCADS . into line, they were unsuccessful, tuul Plumb's free coinage amendment t<? the House bill went through with 4 n whoop. Now the bill will go to u conference : committee, where Tom Rood ox]>eets ' to get the Senate to agree to a com v promise under the threat that liar rison will veto a free coinage bill, but v it is hardly probable that the Senators will allow themselves to be bulldozed by Itcod, csjiocially as they know ' that a free coinage bill would now !' pass the House by a very large majority. The Senate's action has placed (he free coinage Republicans in v. the House in a position where they 1 can now vote with their convictions. 1 and even Reed could not now hold L> them in line if the matter was before J the House. 1 NOT A FAIR COUNT. < The l'i ople of Clinrh riton Are Not Sntlr.lle?l I With llio Census Work. > Ciiari.kston, S. June lit.?There t is widespread discontent here about the result of the census enumeration, t and there is good reason for believing that the work has been loosely done. Several of the enumerators gave up their work, and therefore > the time will be extended at least un" I til tomorrow. The white enumcrai. | tors seem to have done their work r? pretty thoroughly. Tlio negro enuy mcralors, on tin- other lmud, seem to [> have done it very loosely. It is said that hundreds of families have not. t been counted. There arc thirty diss-1 i? tricts in the city, each of which was v calculated to show over 2,000 popula i tion. Some of these fall from 500 to [) 000 behind, and it is claimed that I this is caused by the negligence of [? the enumerators. Numbers of eases i have been reported where the enut, merato has refused to count the members of a household who had t been sent to a summer resort in ann other State after June 1st. A num1 ,-berof other eases are reported in i which the enumerator has never oven k* halted at the house. The last city 1 census, two years ago, gave a population of OHjOOO. It is t hought that the t present census will show a total of ^ not oyer 55.000. It is also said that > the increase in the colored popula i. t/on i^ qon aider ably more than that 1 in Hi?* whites.

There has m( been 110 rainfall for more than six j,r months in the southern portion of j)r, the Territory, ami the consequence is that the ranges nre bare and brown <}] and cattle are dying by the hundreds j)(. daily. The Lyons & Cainpliell Cult uli tie Company, one of the largccoinpanics of thiscounty, reports an average jm loss of about forty head per day. {>n This company lias shipped several p, thousand head of cattle within the yt past two months, as many other p, com iuu lies and individual owners f0 have done, but the ranges will not support tho stock now on them unless ];j there are heavy rains befoie many n, days to start the grass. 1(, Some of the oldest ranchmen in or thi^ country say that if the dry _\1 weather continues a mouth longer cr they will lone* one-fourth of their herds.

As long as such low priees prevail there were very few eat tie shippod from {Southern New Mexico, consequently the ranges became overstocked.

The Corn (Yon nntl Its I*rlecs. ^ C In 1807 the corn crop of the United jj States covered 152,520,219 acres ami , amounted to 7(>9T'520,000 hushels, of a total value of $010,949,i$90. Corn averaged 80 cents per bushel in that year and the average value of tho crop i>er acre was $18.87. In 1887 ,, the acreage had increased to 75,072,- jji 7?',:j acres and tho crop to 1,987,700,- s. 000 bushels, while the aggregate! val- ^ ue has only risen to $077,501,580. During this period the value of corn ; hud shrunk from SO emits per bushel, p Jind the nere that earned $18.87 in ISO7 yielded only $.82 in 18K7. Like- <r wise with wheat. In 1807 the urea " levoted to wheat was lx,821,5f?l neres, and the erop tunountcd to 212,111,1000 bushels, valued at , $121,780,400. The acreage in 1SH7 was 87,0-11,783 acres, ami, although the crop had more than doubled, to 150,02'.),000 bushels, its value was only $085,218,000, or $20,548,180 less than the crop of not half the size in 1807. The average value of the . wheat erop fell from $1.08 ]>er bushel in 1807 to 87.8 cents in 1XN7, and the ^ value of the erop per acre decreased in the same period from $28.05 to s $10.80.

"How's your Mother?" Oh, she's well except her rheumatim. Ifow carelessly the answer is given. l)o you know how it feels to have rheumatism? Oh! it's terrible, the swelling and the excrucating pain of ankle, knee, elbow and shoulder, just as if each joint was a bundle of irritated nerves, each one seemingly bent on giring more pain than the other. Laying awake all night longing fir daylight, aching too serverly to sleep, applying liniment every half hour to temporarily relieve tho agony. 1'raying, cursing, turning, twisting, but no ease, no comfort. What is it that causes rheumatism? Ah, there art! a thousand causes. What is it that cures rheumatism? Thank God, there is at least one cure. It is called li. 11. 11., or llotanic Blood Halm. It has cured more cases of rheumatism than any other known remedy. Try it. Do not sutler longer. J. II.
