The democrats at Albany have dropped
Jacobs and are now voting for Clarkson
Potter. The Republicans are voting for
Wheeler instead of Cornell. Depew (rep.)
and Herman (dem.) lead for the short term.
The stalwarts are reporting that as soon as
the charge of bribery was made at Albany,
Blaine issued a general order to the cores
pondents of administration papers to charge
conspiracy against Mr.: Conkling and his
friends.
The republican candidate for governor of
Ohio, Mr.. Charles Foster, cannot. if reports
are true, have much confidence III his cleo
tion. 1t is currently stated that he is seeking
the Berlin mission. This, to use a sporting
phrase, is hedging for an office.
The report is again circulated in London
political circles that Mr.. Forster will resign
the chief secretaryshlp Of Ireland. 1t is
thought he will be succeeded by Mr.. Charles
Russell. The home rulers say they will aban-
don all Instructions agai st the land bill if
Forster will retire.
Nothing decisive has as yet been arranged
in regard to an alliance between r ussia and
the Merry Turcomans, but the latter seem
willing to agree to an offensive and defensive
alliance, under which they would employ
their forces in putting down marauding at
tacks against Russian subjects i'll their terri
tory, but would not be called on to fight out
side of their own country.
1t is stated that Col. Bob Ingersoll is some
what staggered over some OF the changes
made by he new version of the Bible. They
necessitate a rearranging of his views SO as to
place them in direct opposition to it, and
this is what troubles him. He has spent
years of weary brain labor to put himself
square against the King James version and he
is too old now to undergo revision that will
place him in harmony with his past teach.
ings and at the same time land him on his
old fighting ground.
1t is now claimed that under the new revi-
sion OF the Bible the republican party ceases
to become the political representative OF ''sreat

no longer command the support of its con-

Since the killing of Jim Moon, the noted
gambler, at Denver, the police of that city
are enforcing the law against the carrying OF
concealed weapons. About fifty arrests were
made there on the 18th inst. Now the Lara
mic Times is calling upon the officials in Lar
annie to move in the same direction and says
men are walking our streets every day
with a whole arsenal concealed about their
persons" It's a good plan to lock the stable
door before the horse is stolen, but some peo-
pie never have their attention called to this
fact until the last one is taken. II is so with
the matter Of enforcing laws against carrying
concealed weapons. After a few good citi-
zens have been killed through the non-en-
forcement of laws in regard to pistol carrying
the community in which the homicides occur
generally becomes alive to the Importance of
enforcing them.

probably escape the general destruction which
is to follow the discharge of those packages
of dynamite mentioned, in which case she is

at convenient points, the whole being con-

The German Reichstag is discussing TIN
enormous emigration from Germany to tn

tribute it to the wretched condition OF tn
laborers and artisans. While this may hav'
much to do with it, they should look a littl
