The Dispatch virtually surrenders Ohio
to the Republicans in October. but urges
the Bourbons to save Virginia i'll Noyem-
Der, as means to prevent the break in the
Democratic Solid South in 1884. This is a
good argument to induce every Republican
in the State to vote for the Coalition can
didates for the Legislature. Whatever
will conduce to the disruption of the Solid
Bourbon South, should be encouraged by
all friends Of good government and State
and National prosperity.

cation Of solar heat. The way it is done

collected in an umbrella-like reflector and
concentrated upon boiler in the center
thereof, which generates the steam re-
quired to run small motor. Whether
this motor will prove useful and reliable
remains to be seen, but the Frenchmen
are confident of it's success.
Ohio will lead off in October with an
overwhelming Republican victory. This
will give an impetus to Pennsylvania and
Massachusetts,. where the Republicans will
redeem these States. New York will feel
the effects of the political wave, and will
range in the Republican column. Every
where the Democratic party is demoralized
and the Republicans united. With success
this fall almost assured, we can safely
those who have eyes to see and ears to hear,
see and hear. None but the blinded Bour-

The Chairman of the Utah Commission
declares that by rigid enforcement of the
Edmunds Act about $4,000 Mormon poly
gamists have been disfranchised. This
number exceeds previous estimates by 25
per cent. So long, however, as the num-
Der of MormonS not disfranchised greatly
exceed the number of Gentle residents of
the Territory. the Territorial Legislature
and all the local offices will be controlled by
the Mormon Church. The law is not a
failure, for under it nearly all of the prac-
tical polygamists have been deprived of
the ballot and debarred of Office-hOlding.
If the people of Virginia are in earnest
about the Riddleberger bill debt settlement.
they will see to it that the Bourbons do not
get control of the Legislature. The Bour-
bons may protest ever SO loudly and yocif
erously that they will not disturb that set
yet the fact that they opposed it
at every stage of its progress, is the best
evidence that it will not be safe under
their control. Bourbon promises, like pie
crust, are made to be broken, as is evil
denced by the past history of that party.
