Tue electoral commission fraud Of
1876 was the most damniug crime in
the history OF politics, and IL requires
no strain upon the mental vision TO see
u the triumphant election of Cleve-
land and Hendricks a most fitting re-
venga upon the party that perpetra-
ted that colossal fraud. Justice, that
may sleep, but never dies, has done
her W rk most effectually.
There is touch NJ poetic Justice in
the fact that Samuel j. Tilden and
Thomas A. Hendricks, inundated as
they were upon the altar OF Republi-
can machinRtion and fraud IN '76, have,
IN the year Of grace 1884, lived TO see
that great crime sagai st free govern
ment and the peOple'a liberties re-
dressed, righted and revenged. Surely
this Is q fl time for rejoicing.
We have reason to rejoice, that after
20 many years deferred, those true and
tried Democrats having the courage OF
their convictions, and believing that
"a public Office is a public trust, p TO be
administered In the interest of the
people, have borne our standard t.
victory. The result Of this election
signifies the death Of sectionalism In
politics. The era so auspiciously in
augurated will recognize no geo
graphical distinotiveness, but one
common country. cemented by the
bonds Of mutual brotherhood and
sympathetic patriotism, and restore to
the people clean, honest democratic
form OF government, established upon
the sure foundation stones laid by our

Introduction OF the BOca Conn
pany's New Reer.

The perfection of the Brewers art has
been reached in the production of the
"Pilsener Beer"-it is of the most beauti-
full amber color, as clear as crystal; little
beads rise through the liquid as il II were
champagne, and its foam is like whipped
cream. Upon emptying glass, its ap-
pearance is fully borne out by its taste. Il
Is delicate, with smart sm ack of hops and
malt, and leaves lingering flavor on the
tongue. One Of its best qualities is its
ightness, causing no headache, even il
used to excess. 1t 10 fully equal to. il not
superior, to any Of the Eastern or foreign
brands in the market. 1t is highly re-
commended for family use, and all orders
will be promptly executed by

THE OLD MAN OUTDONE.
A Former Audrain Girl and her Iowa
Husband in Texas and Out
of Funds.

From the st. Louis Chronicle, May 12.
Geo. H. Best, ST., Geo. H. Best,
Jr., and the young and charming
wife of the latter, attracted attention.
at the Union Depot last night. Six
months ago the young couple, who
were then at the home of Mr.. Best,
Sr., at Sheridan, Ia, became infatu-
ated with each other and eloped to
Texas. After brief period of hap
piness, Best, Jr., got to the bottom
of his funds and telegraphed to his
father for more. The old gentleman
forthwith went down into Texas and
found the foolish couple on the verge
of starvation. Young Mrs. Best had
pawned her gold watch and chain to
feed her George. The three then
embarked on the Iron Mountain for
Iowa, but arriving in st. Louis Best,
Sr., swore that he would discard bis
daughter-in-law. He bought her
ticket for Vandalia, Mo-, where her
parents reside, and tickets for him.
self and son for Sheridan, Ia. Mrs
Best thereupon gave vent to her feel
ings in tears. Her sorrow, however,
was assuaged by Officer Barney
Burke, who said he would fix the
matter with Conductor O'Brien ot
the C. & A. train. 1t was arranged
with O'Brien to take up the tickets
of Mr.. Best and his son and insis
that they were for the young man ant
his wife, at the same time kindly in
forming Best, Sr., that if he did no
like the way the Company" die
business he could get off the trail
and pay his fare anew. On arriving
at East St. Louis, the fury of the oil
gentleman knew no bounds, but ther
was no help for it and he was force
to take the new daughter-in-law bac
/ to his home.
The Vandalia argus says: Th

MEXICO, May 22.-I see by your
last issue that some fellow has ran
away with another mans very pretty
wife and there is trouble in camp.
Woman has been the cause of much
trouble ever since Adams wife kick
ed up the devil in the Garden, and
the damage she done there has never
as yet been fully paid.
Woman was created on purpose for a
trouble,
Proud they are as Lucifer-deceitful as
the devil.
They will dress themselves in rich array
Like mermaids they will sing,
And when they catch men in their snare!
Like serpents they will sting.
When woman was created
She was taken out of man,
Out of long and crooked bone
Deny it if you can
Out of long and crooked rib
Created woman where
And thus their crooked nature shows
How crooked women are.
