in the western markets are TO be found, in
Guiding game and every variety of deica-

tables immaculate in the whitest of linens
and clearest cut glass. Every piece of table
cutlery has stamped or engraved upon it

The city has been full OF rumor. of rail-
road complications and changes for two or
three weeks past. 1t is thought by some
that during the late depression of stocks
the sun Flower road was unloaded into the
hands of the Santa Fe people, who thus be-
come sole masters Of the southwestern
transportation. or course there. is no end
10 dcnials Of that assertion. Again, the
tr;ck-laying force on the Wichita & King
man extension has been taken off and q Y
has been put in at Cheney. This is follow
ed by conjecture that the further extern
sion of the Fort Dodge line has been aban-
doned for the time and that Cheney will re-
main the present terminus. There is an
other rumor that the Santa Fe will make
cutoff from Florence TO Wichita and on TO
Dodge as the through main line. II is fur
ther said that the Fort Scott & Wichita will
build from here TO Mcpherson and on to
Anthony both, the coming season, and that
the l.. l.. 4 6. will extend from Harper
south to Anthony and on through the Indian
Territory into Texas. As TO all these ru-
mors We offer no opinion, but give them
only as the current street talk, but that great
changes are imminent, especially with the
Santa FEES interests there is little doubt.
and the future of some towns we wot of
hangs tremblingiy in the balances.

Judge Harris, of this city, in letter to
the Augusta Gazette, gives Hurts the fol-
lowing allopathic dose of Democratic tafIy,
and the Republican party and prohibition
this no uncomfortable dig which will be
read with interest. Talking of the inspir-
alton of Mammon, the judge, we suppose,
had not heard of the shameless buying of
the Democratic Ohio legislature. He says:
II read with much satisfaction what you
said OF prohibition. BY the way, the pay
ing part OF the arrangement is the only ex-
cuse for man, as wide in thought between
the eyes as you are, to be allied with a party
that draws its inspirations from the bigotry
of the clergy and the gormand of manufac-
turing capital-Mammon. In other words,
that a constable or city marshal is more
capable of determining the more appetiz-
ing beverage for the average citizen than
the citizen is Tor himself; and that TO pro-
tect the commercial prosperity of the coun-
try il is necessary that the government
for the benefit of few manufacturer
compel the people TO sell in cheap market

Mrs. Elizabeth Fox, wife of David Fox,
died at her home near this city last We'd
nesday night, January 9th, after long and

was heroically borne, but which wasted her
life away almost imperceptibly. Mrs. Fox
was born in Sunsex, England, where she

married to him who now mourns her loss.
She was a woman of the purest life, a gen.

death was regretted by large circle of
friends who had come TO know and love
her in the years in which she had made her
home in this valley. Mr.. Fox has the SYM

Unavailable Availability

HAOAn INC NJ l. ouuS Donl.)
The one and sole recommendation of Gro
yer Cleveland to the Democratic National
Convention was his supposed availability. 1t
was not commended in his behalf by his an
thusiastic partisans from the State capital and
the Department OF Public Works that he was
trained, experienced statesman, whose In
tellectual grasp Was firm enough and whose
knowledge of public affairs was wide enough
to put him within range of even the least dis.
tinguished of his competitors. He was sup
ported not as intellectually the fittest man to
lead his party, but as the man who could get
the most votes. Thurman, BayaId, Palmer
and Randall were infinitely his superiors in
intellectual force. bat they were not consider
ed to be so available. So Mr.. Cleveland was
selected, and folly was justified of her chill
dren.
Less than a month has passed since this
available nomination was made, and how il 10
quoted now? Has availability gone up or
down ia that time? What has the Democrats
party gained by lowering its standard OF public
merit, and by sacrificing its most splendid
names to a promoted accident?
1t has gained, or hopes it has, some small
quantity OF votes, the votes Of Republicans Whs
hate il as badly as they hate Mr.. Blaine, and
who have intended to vote for Mr.. Cleveland
as being about the same thing as voting for :
Republican. 1t has gained, also, the enmity
" great NUMBERS OF laDOftng men who have
hitherto been willing to support it. It is safe TO
estimate that for every dissatisfied Repablican
whom the demi-Republicanism of the Demo
cratic candidate has won over, it has turned
two Democrats away disguised. This ia the
fruit OF putting up a candidate whose coarse
however sincere may have been the motive
that prompted it, has only secured Republican
votes by alternating Democratic.
And now, to make this brilliant triumph OF
availability still more respondent, the Demo-
cratic candidate must go through the cam
paign with the burden of an old scandal
weighing him down. 1t is a wHetohed busi-
ness. Surely, if medioerity was to be honored
and exalted by the Democrats, there was
mediocrity enough to be found against which,
in private life at least, no shameful accusation
would be brought, and in whose defence no
painful confession would have to be made. But
to public abilities of the highest order, to
private lives without a Flemish, the Demo-
Gratis preferred availability
The result has been that already there ia
doubt where there should have been assured
confidence, and the fatal seeds Of division and
disaster may be already springing up in fields
where victory was looked for.

Great Fire i'm ROach's shipyard.
CHESTER, Pa. Aug ga fire broke out in
the blacksmith shop of Roach's shipyard to-
night, and spread rapidly to the punch
shed and bending shed. All three buildings
were burned to the ground. The principal
loss will be to the punch shed, where there was
great deal of heavy and expensive machin-
cry, valued at $350,000. Much of the machin.
cry was new and it will require several months
to replace it. The loss in the bending shed
will reach over 100000. The buildings were
worth $780, 900. The loss is said 10 be fully COW
cred by insurance. The confagration throws
about 800 men out of work, and will virtually
stop the yard and suspend work on the govern
ment cruisers for some time.

Mr.. Roach arrived here late this evening.
He states that the loss will not be above $780,
600, and that work will go on In the morning
as usual.

For other than party reasons, we rejoice in the
announcement that the Republicans propose a Wig
orous campaign in the South. They hope to carry
West Virginia, North Carolina and Florida. We
trust the Southern Democrats, orators, too, will
