DRY AND WET-South Carolina has 0 local option law which applies to incor- porated cities, towns and villages. When place votes in favor of prohibi" tion it is said to have gone "dry," and when another votes for license it is said to have gone "wet." More than twice as many towns have gone "dry" as have gone "wet."

Ell Paso, Tex, Special Correspondence,
Nov. l6.--I met to-day j.. j. Ormond of
San Francisco, who was n Of the pas
sengers in the stage running between
Globe and Florence, Ariz., on inc night
OF Aug. IL, on w1ich occasion The treas
tire box Of We,ls-Fargo was robbed and
their messenger ricGled and killed. He
saws that about $50, as the b~uck-weGol
was passing a large cact1s, Two Shots
we're fired, and Messenger Co ms fell
dead at the feet of the drive soe who's
lower part of his jaw shot awav vnie
he fell two rife shots struck him ia the
neck, and he died without pain or con-
seriousness. The four horses dashed on
some thirty yards and other shots were
fired from behind a rock which brought
down in their death throes the right
leader and wheeler, and Mr.. Ormond
and the other passenger sprang to the
ground and took TO the brush where
they lay upon their faces without say
ing a word for five or six hours, during
which period they became wet through
with perspiration from fear and excite
ment. although the night was cold and
they had no great coats. While thus
secreted they saw the robbers compel the
driver to descend from his seat and take
out the treasure box from under the
corpse Of the messenger. They then
handed him an X and compelled him
to break it open, while they held loaded
revolvers over his head. Having rifed
the box they stole the nigh leader and
left, after starting the driver back to-
ward Globe and warming him not to
give them away. Ormond and his com-
panion took the body of the messenger
upon the remaining horse and walked
to Riverside, where they told the story
of the crime. Mr.. OrmOnd, who is a tea
drummer, looked into the treasure chest
before leaving the scene and found four
packages which the rascals had over
looked. These he took to the Wells
Fargo people, and it is said that a gold
medal is being cast for him in ~recogni-
ton Of his services. Sheriff Paul Of
Tucson captured three some days later,
one Of whom was acquitted and two
were lynched in Jail by the ~vigilantes
The other two Mr.. Paul shot dead, as
they resisted arrest, and so none Of the
marauders met the rigor of the law.

unjust bill and inequitable measure,

IT is said the failure Of the First Ma
tional Bank of indianapolis was caused
by the state treasurer of Indiana With
drawing 500, coo of the state deposits.
One question the people are vltally IN
terestad in is what right has IL state
treasurer to allow hundreds of thous-
andg of dollars 20 accumulate In the
treasury and thea divide this money up
among favored banking institutions
out of winch politicians draw large div.
idends ? What would happen To the
Alleehany National Bank if General
Baily should withdraw the SS00,0l0 Of
the peoples money he has on deposit
there, or to the Farmers and Mechan-
icS' bank Of Pniadeiphil which has
SS22, 900 of the states money, or to the
Peoples Bank Of Philadelphia which
has $i23, 900, or to the Uniontown
BAlk which has S2S5,000 ? Wolfe
never made better hit than when he
said at Tltusville, October 8, 1881 :
1.-The Peoples Bunk of Philadelphia
is properly called the Peoples Bank be-
cAuse the money Of the people of Penn
sylvania is deposited there, and the
politicians grow rich off its dividends. "

quired by law. Elect LivSey and the

He Has Nothing to Say.

Representative Niles, the Republican
candidate for Auditor General, was
member of the legislature in 1881, and
is also a member Of the present house.
Then Mr.. Niles had a very clear con-
coption of his constitutional dnty rs
regards apportionmeut. In a speech
delivered by him at that time he said
1--WE have for months been neglectmg
our constitutional obligation TO pass
an apportionment bill which the con-
s'itution declares shall be passed" "
Now Mr.. Niles has not one word t.
say against the revolutionary couse of
his confederates in the senate, although
he is the chosen candidate Of his party
for high and responsible Office. He
is silent, dumb as an oyster. No sense
of constitutional obligation" now i'm
pels him TO speak in favor of justice
and right. The bosses nominated him
they own him, and he must do their
bidding ; and this is why he stiles con-
viction and lodges plain duty. But
the people will bring up his cowardly
course in judgment t against him on e.
lection day. They viii not be so silent
about the matter as Mr.. Niles is.

THERE is no lDnger any doubt that
the country is becoming thoroughly a
Harmed at the spread Of intemperance
and consequent increase Of crime.
Take Chicago alone. Ten days ago a
man on the west side came home
drunk, and whipped his wife to death,
in the sight OF her Child. The saloon
did it. The next day drunken man
murdered another in saloon in the
same neighborhood. Liquor did it.
Last week two desperados met in sa-
loon and fought to the death of one and
wounding of the other with revolvers.
WhiSkey did it. More than three
fOurths of all crime is traceabe directly
to the saloons. .-Uhicag0 Adrance.

CHAIRMAN HENsEL, of the Demo-
craft; state committee, takes hopeful
view of Democratic prospects in the
state. lie says that within four weeks
after the state convention there has
been more work done than in the eight
weeks succeeding the convention last
year that the work has been untiring,
energetic and thorough, and that there
is Democratic organic ltion in every
election precinct. Mr.. Hensel believes
there will be larger vote pOlled this
year than is ordinarily expected in an
off year, and he is confident of the sue

WE have only space to state that the

week, was a big affair. The Court
House was crowded. and not few re-

to hear our noble young chairman, Mr..
IIensel, and Ex-GoY. Curtin. Both
speeches are highly spoken of by all
who heard them. The speech of Mr..
Hensel, who appeared before a Centre
county audience for the first time, was
especially able, comprehensive and
strong.
ID. T. Fortney and w. G.. Heinle,
Esqs +, also made speeches. and the
meeting was kept up with much enthu-
siasm until late hour.
Thus the campaign opened very au-
spiciOusly Ill O.d Centre.

AT HARRISBURG the situation is
still the same it has Leen these many
weeks. The uhject is becoming stale,
mOnOtOnOuS-tireSOma and even dis.
gusting to write about. The House from
time to timehitS upon some new or at
least different plan to effect some kind
of apportinnments, but the Senate, un-
der the leadership and party lash Of
bold, bad men like Cooper, Reyburn,
the hypocrite Stewart and others, de.
feat every project brought up to bring
about that desirable end. They will
not bulge an inch beyond their infa-
nous, outrageous McCracken gerry
mander, the deadlock continues and
the people are squarely robbed out of a.
bout $4,000 each day under the forms Of
law.
1t sickens the heart to see that party
feeling, party interests, party bigotry
and wickedness can go to this extreme
eXtent-abOve and beyond all fairness,
right, justice and even sworn constitu-
tional duty. And yet it is but the log
lcal punishment the people must suffer
for electing unworthy men to high and
responsible positions.
Nor do we see any present, constitu-
tional remedy for the shameful evil, ex-
cept partial one-and that is to ad-
journ. If the legislature can give the
people no better return for much time
idled away and vast treasure spent,
they can at least adjourn, and thus end
disgraceful performance.
