KNOW YE THE STATEg
Wei, If You Would. This Is the Way, and
None Other.


The special edition of the b. and O..
Red Book for this State could not cover
the political past OF the commonwealth
more completely if its author had spent
years upon it. That no brief time was
expended is plainly evident from its re-
markedly comprehensive scope, and
those who 90 to the little trouble of en-
closing stamp with address to G. X.
Lord, Baltimore, and thus secure a
copy, will not regret such action. Moth
ing like the Red Book series in the line
of political textbooks was ever given
the public until the B. and 0. inaugur-
ated the scheme of affording informa-
ton in such shape just when the de-
mand was greatest for it. In general
make up, typographical excellence and
neatness throughout the Red Book is
simply Incompatible, while in the extent
of data given, it is almost inexhaustible.
The returns of Presidential, State and
Congressional elections are shown in
full by counties and districts, and the
comparisons figured out cover every
possible point that could be raised. The
remarks embrace statistics of the State
culled from past results almost without
end; such, for instance, as the name
and term of every Governor from the
first; the variation of State Verdicts at
presidential elections since admission in
the Union, the electoral vote, MAORI
ties, presidential and cabinet positions
held by State representatives, and thus
to the end of chapters which constitute
very epitome of political history. In
writing for this invaluable little work, it
should be definitely indicated what
State is desired, as special editions have
been issued for dozen or more States.

months and 30 days.
Long and lonely are the days,
Since our darling Fora left us
But she has gone TO dwell with the angels,
And we know that God will bless her.
From her suffering and pain she has departed.
70 that land where the weary are at rest
hen OH why should we sorrow for our darlingi
When we know she is happy with the blest.
But when the sound of her voice. now hushed
forever,
Is never heardthroughout the lvelong day,
The memories of the past rise up and haunt us
And we mourn for our loved one passed away.
Pure and gentle as an angel fresh from Heaven.
Soothing MS in trouble and in pain,
Can il be that she will never, never bless us
With her bright presence here on earth again?
When lifes journey here below is almost ended.
And Death shall beckon with his shadowy hand
Oh. grant your spirit may be lowering near US,
To guide US to that bright and blessed land.

The Situation,

On the eve of the great battle which
is impending, it viii be well to look
over the situation carefully and without
blind prejudice, and consider the ad-
vantages and disadvantages of each
party in the coming struggle. The ad-
vantage of the Confederate Democratic
line is in their actually needing only
4S electoral votes to secure their
triumph, while the Republican party
must secure POI electoral votes to Sc
cure their victory. To make the matter
plain; there are 401 votes in the presi-
dental electoral college, and the Solid
South furnishes 1853 of these votes. If
necessary to the election of the Demo-
cratic candidates, those votes will be
counted solidly for the Democratic
ticket, and that too, without regard to
the results of the elections in the
Southern States; for all their state
governments and their returning boards
are as completely under the undisputed
control of the Confederates, as they
were before the Rebel government was
overthrow in 1865. They have strong
hopes of securing from the following
list of states enough electoral votes to
secure their triumph and the control of
IT, governments:
New York Sc
new Jersey ..|..... observation-disclosures.
thuidHa '-'..'.-.'. ..................l 10
Connecticut. Observation-Disclosures. 6
Nevada g
Of the above which they regard as
doubtful states they can afford to lose
Indiana and Connecticut, and vet nave
the requisite 48 votes; but losing New
York, and carrying all the others, they
would still want 10 votes to secure
their victory. There is no reason to APP
prehend that they will carry either New
York, Indiana or Nevada; and the only
Northern states in which the Demo-
Gratis have an advantage are New Jersey
and Connecticut, and even in those states
their chances are lessening every day,
and the Republicans expect to carry
them both. The chances are more than
favorable for the Republicans to carry
tho fotloxuipnr ota4os.

LAREDO, May 27.-[5pecial Rather a
romantic marriage WAS c0nsumated here
last night. Mr.. X. @. Durnette, OF the Mex.
ioen National, was the groom, and Miss
Nellie Garmin the bride. The parents
OF the young lady, who live at Pena, object.
cd TO the marriage and did everything pos
sible to prevent II, but the couple resoried
TO strategy as last means ard we're secret
ly married At the bonded warehouse, Just
outside OF Laredo last night. The parents
learning OF the marriage took the
matter philosophically and gave the young
couple their blessing.
Mr.. NJ. V. Parks, OF Eflingham, Illinois
who recently arrived here, was victimizea
by stock broker In Now Laredo yester-
oay. Parks wishing to buy gtocks called
upon the broker, Blnm by name, and told
him that he was looking for stock. Blum
worked into the nor herner's GOOD grGces
and offered to show him around, but Parks
would not 90 until he underdtood that il he
did not buy stock Blum would not ask
commission. Blum readily made this his
went to the stock pens. Mr.
Parka failing to find tho stock
did not purchase and he and Blum sepa.
rated. Parks returned to New Laredo 10
da9 TO continue his purchase, when he was
arrested and told that he must pay Blum q
fee of $40, which he finally did, and re-
turned to the United States, where he re-
mained. Blum is notorious scoundrel
and does not venture on this side.
Laredo prospects are Frightening up, and
1t is thought the new reciprocity treaty be.

benefit trade here to great extent.
While the surrounding country is being
flooded with rain, Laredo has had her
