state has not changed in the
slightest in the past week or
even in the past few weeks, except
that the Independents have daily gained
strength and that the Democrats have
daily increased their chances of full
and solid party vote. There is less
ground of belief now than there has
been at any previous stage of the cam
paign Of Beaver polling SOC, 900 votes !;
there is more reason than there has been
at any time for the expectation that
Stewart will get JOG, 900 votes and there
is no principle of political calculation
which will justify the fear of Pattison'a
vote being below $4,000. The last of
these figures are more apt to be increased
than either of the others. Their logical
conclusion is as certain as it is satisfac-
tOrV.

A Most HOMELESS Cause.


The hopeful tone Of Gen. Beavers
speech at the Philadelphia meeting of
his party on Saturday was in part in
spired by his surroundings. A torch
light parade, the blaze of red fire, the
blare of brass bands and the bowling OF
few thousand partisans are apt to
make a candidate forget that all of these
accessories to a political meeting neither
change nor influence any votes. They
merely indicate that that many OF tine
partisan friends of the candidate are
willing to make that sort of a display OF
their partisanship. But Beavers expires.
sion of such confidence in his elec.
tion as no sasacious person cherished d
was inspired mainly by the desperation
of his cause. At a meeting of himself
and Cooper and Quay and Cameron in
Philadelphia last week, it was discovered
by a comparison Of notes that tie condi
tion Of their party has created a feeling
Of dependency in its ranks from which
they must find immediate relief. The
general distrust Of the present campaign
management, the indisposition of lead
ing Republicans Ci Pennsylvania to
speak for Beaver and their ignorance OF
what to say, the detection of leaders by
scores and of rank and file by thousands,
the failure of the attempted tariff scare
and of other campaign devices, and even
the unwillingness of hitherto liberal con.
tributors to Republican campaign funds.
have effectuaiIy frightened "the gang
and they resolved that the only way .o
create a reaction in their favor was by
the policy of ''bluff.'
Cameron assured his agents Of az
abundant supply of money. If the pro
ceeds of the blackmail and blood money
run short the private fortunes of the
bosses are to be drawn upon to save them
from political destruction. But these
means to debauch the state are not suf.
ficient to win the struggle. The dispir.
tied workers must have some assurances
of success and the order has been issued
that it be given to them regardless OF
truth. Beaver, who now takes his
orders as meekly as any of them,
starts Of by proclaiming his
own election and all over the
state, this week, by arrangement, the
m0ribund Stalwart cause is to be revived
with an avowal Of confidence in his
election. Bets are to be offered here and
there and loud boasts are to be indulged
in everywhere, with the single purpose
of encouraging the sickly Stalwarts and
of seeking to alarm buoyant Democrats.

No Hope for Mason.

Judges Wallace and Cox have refused
to grant wri: of habeas corpus in the
Mason case. Tho decision was rendered
Immediately after the argument of coun.
sci and without the judges leaving the
bench, after General Bigelow finished mis-
argument in favor of the writ. The court
held that they were precluded by the
opinion of Chief Justice Waite, given at
the October term of 1881 from determin-
ing any question in the case, except the
power of judge advocate general to re-
verse decision OF court-martial. Judge
Advocate Gardner Was heard on that
point. In rendering its decision the court
held that judge advocate general was
simply an advising official of the war de-
partment, and that Congress never in
tended to give him power to reverse the
findings Of court martial.

An American Citizen Arrested in Germany
for CriticisinS tho EmPeror-The span

Great excitement has been caused in
the city of Dayton, O., over the report OF
the arrest and imprisonment of DIR. VIII
liam Egry, a well known citizen of that
place, who, it is said, on the authority of
a cablegram, was arrested at Oberkirchen,
Germany, for alleged seditions utterance
against the Emperor William. The mes.
sage says that he has been sentenced to four
years imprisonment for the offense.
DR.. Egry left Dayton about year
ago at the request of his wife,
who desired to live with her
would return to this city. He consented
to 90 with her, and since leaving has
practiced medicine in Germany. Hc has
can citizen, inasmuch as he intended to re-
turn to Dayton as soon as his father-in-
law died and his large estates were settled
When citizen of Dayton he was remark
ably outspoken and figured prominently as
a German Democratic speaker. 1t is as
serted that since going to Germany he has
| not hesitated to denounce Emperor Viii
Iiam's policy on various occasions, and
this has caused his arrest. II nothing
can be done by his German friends,
efforts will be made to bring the case to
the attention of President Arthur and the
American minister at Berlin.
Newport, r. l., is threatened with an
international complication over a canine,
a valuable pet dog, belonging to NJ. De

frightened, killed and buried the dog, and
now confesses to having stolen it. The
minister has telegraphed Secretary of
State Fre!inghuysen to have justice done
him, and Traser will doubtless be visited
with the severcst punishment the law
allows.

cago Herald, says that not ono man in q
dozen knows anything about the cigars he
is smoking, and will smoke . five cent
cigar with as much enjoyment as q fifteen
cent one, provided he thinks the five
center = igh-priced cigar. The label on
cigar-bOx has a great deal to do with
making a cigar popular, and the quota
ton, L" a rose would smell as sweet by any
other name," does not hold good in this
instance, as customers generally go back on
a cigar when the label on the box is changed
It does no good for the clerk to explain
and expostulate the label is changed and
the cigar has lost its attractions. The
stealing of Cuban manufacturers labels
by American manufacturers was caused by
this simple fact. No matter how good y
cigar was made by homo manufacturers,
they found that they were Oversold by in
feriOr grades of cigars which bore foreign
brands. They adopted the foreign labels,
therefore, and Immediately their home
manufactured cigars sprang into de-
served popularity. The high-toned
smoking public merely wanted the
name. It pleased a young blood
more to 60 into a cigar store and domand

to ask for q "Squashtown 1tegalia," or
"St. Louis Domestic" In nine cases out
Of ten a straight fifteen cent domestic
cigar is far superior to an imported arti-
Gle of equal price, but you can't argue
that with the general run of customers.
Among these, Hebrews as q class are the
best judges and smoke the finest articles.
The Hebrew custom is much priced, and
no cigar dealer who enjoys their favor is in
any danger of going into bankruptcy.
Gamblers arc as a rule smokers Of the fin
est goods, but they are as customers very
erratic, owing to the different changes Of
fortune they experience. For weeks and
weeks q member of tho fraternity may
present himself at the Same cigar counter

Suddenly some day he appears and says
he is tired of the brand and he will try

found it was lying close to the fence and
about halfway between East Marion and

nice looking chemise, around which was a
newspaper and heavy piece of light

that it was fully developed and was
that of a nine months child. From
his examination he believed that
the child was born alive either yes
terday afternoon or last night. There
were no marks Of violence on tho body.
The jury rendered q verdict Of "death
from unknown causes" The child had q
very heavy head of brown hair. Who the
mother of the child is, is u mystery as yet.
On the heavy piece Of paper in which it
was wrapped, two names had been writ
ten, one of which was with ink and the
other with a lead pencil. These had
been carefully rubbed or scratched off
and even with a magnifying glass the jury
was unable to read them. The theory in
regard to the affair is that the child died
shortly after i:s birth and the mother dis
posed of it in this manner. The body was
taken to the almshOuse for interment, and
the clothing papers, &C., are in the hands
Of the coroner.
