10 wipe out the Republican majority OF $4,000 four
years ago.-lC. q. Mayhem.
This champion story-teer comes from Walnut
Iowa. And 1t is by such yarns as these that the
Democrats and Dependents keep up their spirits.
Iowa gave $4,000 plurality last year to the Repub-
lican ticket, the total vote being the largest ever
COST The "mracle" is expected TO be wrought by
the anti-temperance vote, but only 125.077 votes
were cast against prohibition, and 165,436 for It,
In that State, in Kansas the Republicans who OPP
pose prohibition are in open alliance with the
Democrats on State issues only, while supporting
the Republican National ticket.

statement"-t Hubert o. Thompson.
1t is necessary to conclude either That Mr.
Thompson is lying, or that decent Republicans
have not cared to make his acquaintance. He can
take his choice.
Ceveands letter vindcaes the wisdom of tho Chicago
convention in nominating him.-lWheeng Register.
Yes, there was Just about enough wisdom" in
that proceeding to be indicated by such letter.
The position OF Butler in this state ls precisely similar

Buter can get any more votes than Kelly received Ia
1879 Tor Governor, or 1900. 1.-THE World.
In this matter. the opinion of the most hope
less political lunatc naturally gets quoted in The
World, very proper place for it. Persons who have
some sense, however, imagine that General Butler,
and Mr.. Kelly and The Sun are likely to influence
more votes than Mr.. Kelly alone. If voters do not
stop with General Butler, but prefer to make each
vote count two by going for Mr.. Blaine. SO much
the worse for Cleveland
The knowing predict a majority OF 10000 for
Perry, the Democratic nominee. We giODg 10 have
lively time of little later on.-lJames Chestnut,
o. Florida.
Which way shot guns, "Copenhagen"f That
the Democrats mean to carry the State one way OF
the other may be readily believed Doubtless tho
knowing ones" can mention the majority as well
now as in December-unless the people, by some
chance, contriye to express their opinion.

Brooklyn populated by thai class OF men, They are

Republican victory in Brooklyn. Yet, in spite of
this admis ion, Nj. Hendrix claims to believe that
Cleveland will get nearly the majority giyon TO

ton, and as the majority Of the Prohibitionists
are Republicans, the only effect OF increasing
their vote can be to improve Clevelands
chances. With the Democracy in power pro-
-hibition would be worse off than ever, yet the
prohibition campaign is in the interest of the
Democrats, however little this may have been
intended. The Prohibitionists generally how
ever, know enough not to abandon their po-
litical organization in Presidential year, and
no doubt they will be found, as heretofore,
swelling the Republican majorities when No
yember comes round

PROKLEITION lIR.C4STLES.

The Witness IS trying to mako the Prohibit
tionists believe that they may not lose their
votes by casting them Tor ST. John and Daniel.
It says: "Many things indicate that the Prohi-
bition vote this year Will as,onjsh the public"
In former Presidential years tho public have
been rather astonisacd at the suallness OF the
Prohibition vote, but now that they know what
TO anticipate in that direction they vii probably
not permit themselves TO be much surprised.
The Witness innOccntly asks: "What is 10 him

"but Of pnrcand honest government als0,and cf-

We will tell The Fitness what is to hinder.
The fact that the people of the United States
belong in the main to two great and long-estab-
lishcd parties. The fact, evident to all who can
see. that one OF these two parties will elect The
next President. The fact that however strong
ly great many people may believe in proLbi-
ton. comparatiycly few think it wise or practi-
cal to vote in the mir, as all must do who vote
for st. John and Daniel. The fact that Prohi-
bltonists themselves have never yet abandoned
their political affiliations in Presidential years,
and are no whit more likely to do so
now. The fact, which The jiincgs ought
to recognize, that every Republican Prohibi-
ZIONIST who votes for st. John and Daniel will
thereby help Cleveland, and so assist in putting
the control of the Government into the hands
Of the Democracy, the party of Rum.
Tile Witness can only do harm to prohibition
by advocating seriously the claims of st. John
and Daniel. There Is 10 possibility of their cleo

General Newton's annual report concerning tho
excavations at He'll Gate, that the work there
is so much delayed by lack of sufficient appro-

last fiscal year was to keep the mines already
made free from water, and to preserve tho
plant Something more will be accomplished
this year, but not nearly what could be done IL
Congress had voted tho money the engineers
REQUIRE. Doubtless the rocks in the way OF

realize that it is necessary undertaking since

which ought to be appreciated by the business
men of this community.

The only thing that troubles the Republican
managers in Maine concerning the September
election, is the over-confdence of the voters
that the Republicans will win there anyhow
whether full voteis polled or not 1t is prooa-
BILE that this suppostion is true; but II Is
unwise for any Republican voter to act on II.
1t is desirable that the majority in September
should be as large as possible. We do not eX-
pect it to come up to the figures which VIII W
reached in November, when Mr.. BlaineS per-
soual interest in the result will swell the nun
Der of his followers, but it ought to DC large
Now is the time for every true Republican Ill

cratic party on September but an lgnoDle

The frost of Sunday night seems to have been
extended over much country north and north
west of this city. Reports from various places
say that corn and buckwheat have been seri-
ously injured 1t is too early yet to tell just
what damage has been done. Probably the first
reports will prove to be exaggerated. Already,
according to the Department OF Agriculture, 1t
Is apparent that the recent drouth in Ohio, In

less harm than was anticipated.

Dead. Beat Advertisers.

Texas newspapers have II in their power
10 destroy the evil effects In this state OF
the growing army Of dead,beat advertisers.
Advertising agents and patent medicine
manufacturers are the most numerous, II
not the exclusive, advertising frauds and
beats. The fact Is evident that too many
newspapers are careless aud negligent In the
matter Of accepting and enforcing foreign
advertising contracts, or frauds would not
flourish as They DO. There IN but one safe
aud Legitimate rule-in all eases where the
commercial standing and responsibility OF
tho advertisers are not well known, demand
cash in advance quarterly, and in any aud
all instances where an advertiser proves a
fraud and beat, expose him at once and
keep up tho exposure until II becomes
known % the press Of the state. This subject
should also have the careful attention OF the
Texas press association at its next annual
meeting. Would II not be well for II, AZ n
body, 20 agree that propositions will only
DO considered, by the members OF the asso-
citation, that come from specified advertis-
ing agencies, well known as responsible,
libora and fair dealing frms3 In this way
irresponsible agencies would be excluded
aud tho public as well as the newspapers
would thereby Ia great measure be protec-
ted against consummate frauds, who nei-
thor furnish that which IL advertised nor pay
for the advertising.

AHrienas, Wedding.


A genuine "Friends' wedding took
place last evening at the residence
Of Jacob 4. and Matilda Fredericks IN
Oak Park, tho contracting parties
being Miss Frances I, frederieks and
Mr.. Willard Clark French. The
ceremony was in the regular Quaker
form OF long ago, IN the days OF
William Penn. A circle OF invited
"Friends" gathered in the parlor OF
the beautiful homo about $3.50 o'cloctI
and sat speeehlossly quiet for several
minutes. This silence was broken
by Jonathan Plummer, m approved
minister Of the Society of Friends,
who rose in his place and requested
all the Friends" present 10 engage
in silent prayer for the young couple
who were in u few minutes more 10
present themselves at the marriage
altar. A few minutes thereafter the
young couple marohodin accompanied
by Miss Minnie Fredoriclls, sister OF
the bride. as bridomaid, and George
III. Wessling as groomsman. The
bride was attirod in a cream satin
dress with silk blonde and white lace
trimmings and natural flowers. The
dress was cut plain and straight
without overskirt, The bridomaid
wore blue silk dress trimmed with
white lace and ornamented with
natural flowers. The four seated
themselves and Mr.. Plummer prayed
aloud and fervently that tho young
couple might dedicate themselves to
the service of the Lord. Bride and
bridegroom then rose together, with
the other young couple who were to
stand up with them, and the bride
groom facing his betrothed grasped
her by the hand, and said, SIN the
presence OF the Lord and these our
friends, 1 take thee, Frances Il.
Frederick, to be my wife, promising,
with divine assistance, TO be unto
thee a faithful and loving husband
until death doth separate us" The
bride, without removing her glove,
grasped her partners hand in the
same manner and repeated the same
words with tho substitution of his
name for hers, and they were man
and wife. Next marriage certificate
was produced which was signed first
by the newly married couple the
woman signing her new name,) and
then signed by everybody in the
room, including two newspaper
reporters from Chicago, thirty-six
persons in all. Leading the list of
witnesses to the marriage were the
names of the overseers of the wedding,
Jonathan w. Plummer, Phebe Brown,
Alice Mills, and Thomas Brown.
When young couple intend to

before a meeting of the
Executive Committee of the Society

which was legalized by special act
