The Second District Democratic
Fight.

Speaking of the Democratic Congression-
al fight in the Second District the Enquirer
of yesterday says:
"Shank's strength is mostly with the con-
servatiye element of the district and the
better class of citizens--the stad West
Enders, who are,aYerse to rings and politi-
cal wire-worlling, but feel that Congress-
man should rise above this sort of thing,
and should not resort to their use in getting
position. Among the legal fraternity he is,
TOO, very strong, and thus with these ele-
ments and added to them the country pre-
cincts, he combines much strength. Goss is
especially strong with the contractors and
City Building ring and will get their
support largely, though it is said that an
effort to get on both sides of the Chief of
Police question in the late contest deprived
him of some strength. He has, however,
been a candidate ever since The Convention
Of two years ago, and as result has things
pretty cleverly arranged among the boys,
while the contractors, with many of whom
he has business relations, are warmly in his
favor Banning's strength is with the
Courthouse ring and the masses of the dis,
trict, the Prosecutors office, the Sheriff
office, the Jail officials and all the other
county offices under the Democratic
regime"

THE Bounding Banning has fearfully
weakened in his district during the last
ten days. 1t is now pretty clear that he
can not possibly be nominated, and
clearer still that if nominated he will be
badly beaten. The boys are against him,
the conservative solid elements of his
party are against him, and the Rings are
against him. These latter are. for Goss,
and while they will help in securing a
nomination their support will be fatal to
the nominee when be comes before the
people. Shank, according to the univer-
sal testimony of the people in the wards,
has, the elements Of strength, which mean
success after the nomination as well as in
convention.

Lawyers look with great interest to the
Inauguration of the new judicial system
provided for in the law under which the
two new Common. Pleas Judges are to be
elected. By this new system a Judge will
not sit in the District Court to r6T!eW his
own decisions, bnt appeals will be appeals
in fact as well as in form, the consideration
of cases on appeal being in all instances by
different jursts from the ones who rem
dered the decisions in the Court below. The
selection of Judges is, therefore, of more
than usual interest. For the Republican
nomination it is generally conceded
that Hon. George B. Hollster will be one,
and the other will probably be either
S. n. Maxwell, Fayette Smith, or Captain
Foraker. On the Democratic side the list
of aspirants embraces Samuel F. Hunt w.
Fl. Pugh, Henry Snow, A. B. Huston, Ozro
Dodds, Moses F. Wilson, Samuel A. Miller,

that he was chiseled out of the Judgeshil

I ne'er will forsake thee,

fne'er will forsake thee,
Though darkness and woa
ehroud with gloom thy pathway
In llfe's journey below;
Though friends may prove false
When fortune doth frown,
One heart shall prove true
To the soul that's cast downlt
How sweet for true friends
In communion TO meet,
Where heart beats to heaIh
And naught IL deceit;
In veal or in woe
Never 'sunder the tie
That binds hearts together.
Though storm clouds sweep byl
Though adversely be thine,
True hearts will remain
Free from the foul touch
or fslsity's stain;
In Joy or In sorrow,
False hearts let them fieei
But noble souls will be ever
True TO heaven and thee.

FROM an official report recently made
by United States Consul Skies at Cardiff,
Wales, it seems that the wages of labor
ers and mechanics in that country are
much lower than here, while the expenses
of living are fully as great. Mechanics
receive from 81 to So per day, and day
laborers from So 50 to 81 so per week.
The Welsh women take an active part in
the support of their families, and perform
duties common only to men in other
countries, many of the letter carriers being
women. The Welsh laborers are de-
scribed as very thrifty class, but they
are now suffering for want of employ
ment.

o The mermaid which combed its hair
upon the crested waves and wooed the
fated mariner with its siren song, has
been led into captivity, and now founders
with it's fins in tank of water at the
London Aquarium. 1t is described as
great shapeless being without suspicion
of beauty, out Of which nothing but the
fertile fancy of sailor could ever have
created the beautiful female which fig
ures in nautical narratives. 1t is more
fortunate than womankind, however, in
having two hearts, which do not beat as
one, and three eyelids, to each eye, all of
which keep up a lazy, but persistent wink
ing. 1t is superior to the, daughters of
Eve, also, in having no voice, and those
who have waited upon it diligently, hop
ing to hear some grunt of satisfaction or
disapproval from its lips, have been dis
appointed. As a mermaid it is in fact a
failure, and nobody has yet been found
to take delight in its contemplation but
the nataralists, to whom it is known as
the Manatee.
