State, has been presented to the City
Council praying that body to cause all
saloons in the city to be closed at 8 O'Clock

this; all other business houses do this
without being requested to do so. Why
should not saloons close at the same time?

THE Democracy are loud in their
demands for reform, the true meaning of
which, in Democratic view of reform,
is to reform the Republicans out of office
and reform Democrats into office. That is
all there is in their heartfelt desires for
reform.

Counting the Ell, ctoraI Vote.

The New York Tribune publishes re-
view of the laws and regulations in re-
gard counting the electoral votes. This
review shows that while the refusal of
Congress to readopt the twenty-second
joint rule, which gave either House the
right to reject State vote, because of
dissatisfaction with its working, has left
us almost entirely without actual regula-
tions in such contingencies as now seem
possible, there have been, nevertheless,
certain precedents fixed by usage which
may go far toward preventing awkward
and even dangerous complications.
The records show Q) that the president
of the Senate has never attempted to act
as judicial officer in determining the
validity of State vote; (0 that while
such questions have invariably been re-
ferred to the two Houses of Congress,
neither House has ever asserted its right
to throw out State or choose between
two sets of returns, except under the
twenty-second rule, which Congress has
expressly omitted to readopt; (3) that all
disputes of this nature that have arisen
have been decided by the two Houses,
acting concurrently, though they derived
no authority to do so, either from the
constitution or the laws.
"The precedent would seem to be set,
therefore, of concurrent action by the
two houses, and, if the latest returns
should foreshadow a wrangle over the
vote of some one State, the hope of all
good citizens will be that Congress, dur
ing the coming session, and before the
counting of the electoral votes, may come
to some wise and patriotic agreement
whereby, while all just rights will be pre-
served, the danger of so deplorable q con-
troversy will be averted.

was one of company who struck rich
pay on Williams Creek in 1861, arriving
at Victoria with 800 pounds of gold in
the fall of that year. He was the slion"
of the winter Of 1862, and spent his gold
lavishly. On one occasion he entered a
saloon and SHE'D handful of 500 pieces
at large plate glass mirror behind the
bar. When reproached by the bar keeper.
he requested him to keep the "beast for
the damage" On another occasion he
and another Caribooite astonislled Gov
ernment street by throwing 500 pieces
at each other until stopped by the police.
The throwing commenced with snow
balls. On his return to Cariboo Abbott's
good fortune continued, and he has been
known to stake $4,000 on hand at
poker. After two or three years pros
perity. Abbott got to the bottom of his
claim and his purse at the same time, and
was miserably poor at the time of his
death.

SLIGHTLY MISTAKEN.

WHAT CAME OF A DECIDEDLY RECKLESS
ASSERTION.
John Dove is a very indiscreet youth
of35 or 40 years. Lasl night John pranced
into Nolen's saloon, on the corner of Six
teenth, and O'Fallon streets, s,sanguine and
brisky, with knife something less than a
yard long in his hand, and related that
he was willing to eat his grandmother if
he couldn't whip thunder out of any of
them in the house, and that's the kind of
hair pin he was. 1t is hard to believe
that he realized that he was in the heart
of Kerry Patch when he advanced this
proposition-for such degree of reck-
lessness is past credibility. However that
may be, the knights of Kerry never let a
man languish for want of fight, and John
was accommodated. They wiped the
floor with him and used him for billiard
cue, and wore him out. When they got
through with him they rolled him out
doors, and two police officers collared him
and his scimetar and locked them up. He
sent out for about bolt of calico and
some fresh beef, and this morning when
he came into the police Court he was
something little more gaudy than the
famous ring tailed monkey. Concealed
weapons was what they called Johns
scimetar, and he couldn't rebut the thing.
The Court fined him one hundred dollars
and sent him to the rocks. He isn't able
to do much in the way of pounding
macadam, but he is filled with admiration
for the thrashing machine that he ran
afoul of and, and all he wounders at is
that he came out alive.-(St. Louis Re
Rublicdn.)

DICK TURPIN'S GALLANTRY.
Ne,v York Century.

Ne,o York Century.
"A descendent of a willful, high-spirited
young woman of the olden English times
tells story concerning her. This young
woman had beensent on visit to some
friends of her family living about twenty
miles from town, and while there quar-
relied with her hostess. Without more
ado she ordered her horse to be saddled,
and, attended only by young servant
boy, started to ride to London. She
reached Blackheath in safety, and there
of course, she lost her way. But after a
while, seeing a horseman at some distance
she cantered boldly up to him and asked
him to direct her. He wasa cookbook
ing man, with fine manner, and rode
tie incontestable sign of a gentleman
then-a remarkably handsome horse. He
was very courteous, not only showing the
road, but escorting her for several miles
chatting very pleasantly by the way, till
the houses were inview. When he was
about to leave her he said: "Tell your
friends, madam, that you are too handsome
a young lady to ride alone, but that you
have safely crossed Blackheath under the
escort of-Dick Turpin." and withthat he
raised his hat and galloped off.

The Whole available Strength of the

In Florida.
The latest dispatches, both from private
sources and through the Associated Press
clearly indicate that Louisiana has gone
Democratic by from 1000 to $4,000 ma
jority, thus giving her eight electoral votes
to Tilden and Hendricks. The claim OF
Republican politicians that the State has
gone Republican is based solely upon the
expectation that the partisan Returning
Board will repeat its former operation,
and not upon the result of the vote.
The returns from South Carolina, en-
bracing reports from all the counties, give
Wade Hampton for Governor 5000 ma
jority, and the majority for Tilden in the
State but little over 1000. Both branches
ofthe Legislature are probably Demo-
cratic, thus insuring United States Sena-
tor.
Only portion of Florida has yet been
heard from, but the gains in the sections
from which returns have been received
indicate that the State has given Demo-
cratic majority of from 1900 to 1900, and
elected the Democratic candidate for
Governor.
The Pacific States are all claimed by
the Republicans, but no vote are given to
sustain their claims. Oregan has gone
probably Republican,
Ohio is becoming one of the close States
The majority for Hayes, from present
advices, will be considerably below that
of Barnes (Rep.) in October, if it is not
all wiped out.

INDIAN SUMMER.

just after the death of the flowers,
And before they are buried in snow,
There comes a festival season.
When natute is all aglow-
Aglow with mystical splendor !..
That rivals the brightness of Spring
Aglow with beauty more tender
Than aught which fair Summer could
bring. -...
Some spirit akin to the rainbow.
Then borrows its magical dyes,
And mantles the fairspreading land
scape tt tf.rn.
In hues that bewilder the eyes.
The sun, from his cloud pillowed cham.
Der,
Smiles soft on vision SO gay, 'fH
And dreams that his favorite children,
The flowers, have not yet passed away.
There's a luminous mist on the noun
tains,
A light, azure blaze in the air,
As If angels, while heavenward soaring,
Had left their bright robes floating
there,
The breeze is SO soft, so caressing,
1t seems a mute token of love,
And floats to the heart like blessing
From some happy spirit above,
These days, so serene and so charming,
Awaken dreamy delight
A tremendous, fearful enjoyment,
Like soft strains of music at night;
We know they are fading and fieeting,
That quickly, too quickly, they'll end,
And we watch them with yearing affec
ton,
AS at parting we watch dear friend
Oh! beautiful Indian Summer!
Thou favorite child of the year
Thou darling, whom nature enriches
With gifts and adornments so dear!
How fain would we woo thee to inger
On mountain and meadow awhile,
For our hearts, like the sweet haunts OF
Nature,
Rejoice and grow young in thy smile
Not alone to the sad fields of Autumn
Dost thou last a brightness restore,
But thou bringest world weary spirit
Sweet dreams of its childhood once
more,
Thy loveliness thrills us with memories
OF all that was brightest and best;
Thy peace and serenity offer
A foretaste of heavenly rest.
