The Democrats of Indiana have sacrificed
all of their other candidates for those on
the State ticket. Even their aspirants for
Congress we're put on the altar as a sacri.
fee to victory, and go barren is the victory
that it can not bs SO regarded by fair
minded people. First, the Democrats
have allowed their opponents to capture
four additional congressional districts,
including those represented by Messrs
Holman and Landers, two of their most
prominent and active partisans; second,
their candidate for Governor, if elected,
will go to the capital and remain with his
hands completely tied. rs the Legislature
will undoubtedly be Republican, Re
ports SO far received indicate that the
Democrats will not have over forty hve
members in the House, q loss OF IF
teen, while the Republicans will have
fifty-two members a gain OF twenty.
Third. Williams will be minority execu-
tive by not less than three to four Thousand
votes. aud in November it will be di:cov-
cred that the Republicans, who have wan
dered eff after strange gods labeled indie
pendent, have all returned to tn. ir
first love. The result of the election
proves conclusively the wisdom OF An
con Wolc0tt in declining to allow Lim-
self to be used as q tool to assist in the
election of Williams. If the seven thou
sand Republicans who voted for Judge Har-
rington had been possessed of the foresight
of Mr.. WolcOtt, they would not now be la
menting their folly. IL is lesson by which
we hope they will profit. We hope that
they will learn that independence in poll.

The entertainment at the Opera House
last night for the benefi Of St. Mary's Or

Local Intelligence.

He WAS WILLING AND THEN OTHERWISE -
A lively young man whose name may be
written down John, which is not the proper
one, admired . comedy lass, and in every
possible manner induced her to believe that
he loved her to utter distraction. The silly
girl, full of confiding love, believed him,
hesitated, and then fell. Time disclosed
their miserable secret, and the victim's
father was made aware of the shame put
on his name. As father he resented the
awful insult to his household, and finally
brought the gay young man to an account.
Father and seducer placed the case ia the
hands of an arbitrator, the three being
locked in private Office. The arbitrator
took a seat between the irste father and
the offending individual, he sitting 1T his
private desk, on which rested q large re-
volver. The delicate subject was discussed
and the parent, qdite excited, could with
difficulty restrain his passion. When the
good looking young man declared that he
could not think of making any recompense
for the wrong committed, the angry father
spraug from his chair, drew deadly looking
fl I, and befor the umpire was pushed aside
had grabbed the revolver, presenting it's
muzzle in such threatening manner that
both father and referee deemed it best to
stand one side temporarily. John was dis.
armed and informed that if he failed to act
an honorable part his life would certainly
pay the penalty. John was in an exceed
ingly close corner, and did not like the des-
perate situation of his surroundings. He
uttered faint negative, but one more per-
suader brought him to terms and he con-
scented to s1arry the unfortunate girl, though
he did agree to it with q merry laugh.
"Now is The accepted time" firmly remark
ed the to be fa:her-in.la law, who had that
morning read in political advertisement
that delays are dangerous. A qualified
person was called on and the eventtul cere
mony performed. TIE reader will please
jump oil right here, as the reporter has no
further information to offer.

Three hundred and eighty-four years ago,
this month, Christopher Columbus. it is

nent of America His venture was one CT
the strangest in the worlds history. and
has not been surpassed up to this time; the
great Geuoese won for himself fame that
will endure as long as this continent holds
q grateful man. The Italian society, Trio
al Bsrsaglo, will to day celebrate the event
by making a public parade, demonstra-
ton in honor of the bold navigator, whose
memory they cherish so reverentiy. The
procession will start about half past one
O'Clock, this evening, and march to Coli
scum square, where tableau will be pre-
sented Several unique features will be
introduced, such as will please the public
taste. Other associations were invited TO
ioin in the celebration, but some OF them
declined because the day was Sunday. The
reason for not celebrating the occasion on
the twelfth instant, is because nearly all the
members Of the Bersaglo are unable to
leave their regular occupations at any other
time during the week

TALKS ABOUT LABOR. By J. N. Larned.
Pablished BY d. Appleton & Co. New
York.
This little book discusses in simple con
vocational way, many questions upper.
most in tho minds Of capitalists and work
ingmeu. The five evening talks given in
the book are about tho power Of capital;
the rights of capital; the competition Of
faculties among men; the just claims OF
labor, and the ways and means Of justice.
Its aim Is to harmonic conflicting ole
ments between the employed and employer.
which result in disastrous labor strikes,
and it delivers plain truths in the right d.
rection.
MY Own CHILD. A novel. By Florence
Msrryatt. Published by D. Appleton &
Co.
The story ia that of child of fifteen who
marries young man against the wishes of
the young mans aristocrstic parents, and
whose husband dies in . short time after
the romantic marriage. The little widow
oonquers the family pride through the
means of little heir, which in due course
of time comes to bless and blend all.
Many OF the details Of the little mothers
story might have been left untold with ad-
vantage to the book - . work for all to
read. The experiences with doc50re,
nurses, aunts and old maids are all too
communicative for young mems ears; they
are too natural and too true to be good;
but all need not make haste to read the
story thinking it is bad, for it carries with
il right lessons, though frankly told.
