point to an early frost; ..''Out Of forty-one
applicants for cadetship at West Point, fifteen
were rejected. Among the rejected was s. w.
Livingston, colored, of Florida THE State
central committees of the two wings OF the Re-
publican party of Georgia have had meet
ing at Atlanta and harmonized their differ
ences. ..'.'..Jesse James subscribed to five
newspapers, but his object was not a literary
one. He desired to be posted as to railway
schedules and the various 1amOunts offered
for him, dead or alive. ....iThere were ten
deaths from yellow fever in Havana last
week. An advance in Southern freight
rates, amounting to 5 cents per hundred
pounds, as agreed upon by the Southern Rail
way and Steamship Association went into eff
| feet on all Southern lines last Monday. AT
| least half million pounds Of dried fruit have
been shipped from Greensboro, N. g., the
present season. ..'.''Mr. Kelley, of motor
| fame, has bound himself to run railroad
train from New York to Chicago at cost for
| fuel not to exceed fifty cents. At that rate
the fare, according to the Inter- Ocean, ought
to be about nickel for the round trip. The
Mormons declare that they will resist the Ed
munds law. They say they want no carpet
bag government foisted upon them by the
United States Government. There are
several cases of yellow fever at Pensacola,
Florida, and the disease threatens to become
epidemic. For several weeks the trial of
what is designated the star route cases has
been progressing at Washington the defen-
dants being under accusation of defrauding
the government in contracts for carrying the

rendered as to some of the defendants. In
fight last Friday evening the Mayor Of Dan
Vile, Va, shot and mortally wounded the
chief Of police of that town. The Mayor ac-
cused the police officer with failing to pay

cline the Greenback nomination for Congress-

THE OFFICE SEEKING THE MANA num-
ber of the citizens of York county addressed
a note to Hon. w. B. Wilson requesting his
consent to permit his name to come before the
voters of York county as a candidate in the
primary election for a seat in the House Of
Representatives. Mr. Wilson replies 81 had
no idea or desire of being a candidate, but
when publicly called upon, as now am,
feel that private interests and preferences
must give way to the duty of the citizen, and
that l cannot, with propriety, refuse the re-
quest that has been made" 1t is truly re-
freshing to note such an exhibition OF good
sense on the part of the voters OF Y Ork county
in thus selecting their public agents, and the
no less noteworthy instance Of the highest
order of patriotism illustrated in the manly
reply of Mr.. Wilson. When the people shall
have learned to adopt the same rulers OF COM
mon sense in reference to the conduct of their
public interest, that they adopt in reference to
their private interest, new era Will nave
dawned upon us. We will then have more
wholesome laws, a more effective admlnls-
tratiOn, and fewer defalcatiOns. Let the good
time hasten.-tSaludaA Argus.
WOMAN SUFFRAGE IN UTAH.-The report
of the Utah Commission has been received at
Washington. The Commission report as to
the appointment of registration officers and
say that it was not deemed advisable to COM
mence new registration, but they had deci-
ded to order revision of the existing regis
tration lists as required by the Territorial
law, and to apply to it the governing princi-
pie of the Edmunds Act. The Commission
also say that later embarrassment came in
the form of demand on the part of certain
citizens of high character that
the Commission should assume jurisdiction
and decide that the local statute authorizing
women to vote was illegal and void. They
concluded that it was not competent for the
Commission to repeal or modify the statute in
the manner suggested; that the principle of
female suffrage is in norespcct in conflict with
the purpose of the Edmunds law, and there
fore that the Commission had nothing whatev-
er to do with the subject. Moreover, they
found, on investigation, that this statute had
been in force for twelve years without being
in the courts Of the Territory, or
by Congress.

teau's brain is published in the Philadelphia
Medical Ne,rs of last Saturday. In reference
to their report the Medical Nears says editori-
ally: There is in the microscopic revelations

expressed that Guiteau, an abnor-
NAL character, justly suffered the penalty Of
the law for the high crime he committed.
