In Wiltshire the population density is about one per square mile as rich land sits idle for lack of affordable small holdings. A British visitor with Liberal candidate William Saunders describes sheep farming dominates, rents and taxes burden small cultivators, wages fall short for families, and many parish workers face eviction, poverty, and a looming workhouse future.

Measures Not Men In New York Campaign Debate
Senator Colquitt of Georgia, in Washington after three weeks in New York, urges campaigns to stress measures over men. He warns a Hill and Cleveland clash could split Democrats and jeopardize New York. He favors party unity after the state’s likely fall victory and cautions South against supporting an early renomination amid anti-Cleveland sentiment. The South prefers a clear candiate and platform focused on reform rather than a third party split.

Ex Senator Hampton on Third Party Prospects in South
Ex Senator Hampton, passing through Washington en route to Canada for salmon fishing, says the third party movement will not gain traction in the South once intelligent discussion begins. He argues a single-issue party cannot endure and predicts Harrison will retain Republican support, while Southern sentiment remains unsettled. In Kansas City, Knights of Reciprocity plan their annual convention to organize expansion as Alliance influence grows. Also in Kansas, Republican editors applaud ex Senator Ingalls who warns the party faces grave problems and must address today’s fears with energy to prevent defeat.

Large Lime Stone Quarries Beset by New Insect Threat
In RATHER LARGE BUGS, a Delaware, Lackawanna & Western branch near Brighton Corners and Jamesville faces a strange disruption. A lighted switch area where loaded freight sits was invaded by an immense insectlike creature that caused cars to stall and block the track, forcing stoppage until the loaded freight could be moved. The creature, resembling a lithodomea rock-boring mollusk combined with predatory traits, appeared at the cut and impaired progress as engineers attempted to release the train from the quarry.
