THE PURSE IN POLITICS.

Another rich man has been elect
eli Senator of the United States.
Besides using his own wealth freely
to compass that election, as report
goes, he was backed by the money
power of the strongest corporation
Outside of railways in the country
Henry B. Payne represents ten mil
lions of personal fortune and the
Standard Oil Company. He is not
. statesman; he has no political ex-
perience; but he is Ohio's new Sena-
tor all the same.
Verify, the purse is potent in poll
ties. 1t atones for lack of intellect,
and for unftness Of every sort, In
this instance, however, there appear
to have been other potent influences
at work. Practical Reform receives
q stab in the defeat Of Pendleton.
which must occasion real regret. 1t
is to this Democratic Senator that
we are largely indebted for Civil
Service progress; and it is for adyo-
eating such a progressive measure,
as we may infer, that he is laid
aside. He dared stand up for bet
ter methods, and now he is put down
by methods the basost. For unless
all accounts are false, the late Sena-
torlal contest was as cold blooded
an exhibition of money power as
ever disgraced American politics.
1t needs but one or two more such
accessions to our National Senate to
make that body financial oligarchy
dangerous to public welfare, as it is
now unwholesome in the body poll
tic. And if the purse is to be SO pc
tently employed in the race for Sen
atorial seats, there are grave reasons
for making Senators elective by the
people, thereby checking, in some
degree, the direct financial inhu-
ences, or at least, rendering those
influences more diffusive. As at
present conducted, Senatorial con-
test turns upon every possible point
other than fitness and worth. Flu
ture Presidential nominations may
be settled by it; great corpora
TONS interests may hide within it,.
the sel6shneSs of some faction may
be served through it. 1t is a scram-.
BILE, an auction, hooking outrage.
We can think of a dozen such con-
tests wherein the puF3e power cen
tered with baleful, demoralizing re-
suits.
And where is the remedy? He
would be wisely helpful who should
indicate it. Unless it lies III an cleo
ton by direct vote, we fear there is
none. So long, at least, as parties
.bicker over false issues, and factions
dicker for supremacy, a Legislative
choice is open to all the disgraceful
features seen Of late years in New
York, in Michigan, in Pennsylvania,
in Kansas, in Ohio, and in Mime
sofa. Why not try change =? 1t
could do no small harm, compare
lively; it might be productive of
good.-N6'o YORK. Reformey'.

ACCIDENTALLY OVERHEARD.

A gentleman, whose veracity stands beyond
questioning. furnishes us with the following
words, which he claims to have been used in an
unexpected meeting between two OF our soci-
ETY. gents few days since, on one of the promil
nent resident avenues: Why E. is 1t possible
that see you before me. Scarcely has the town
clock registered Ave hours since left your bed
side with the assurance that nothing but provi-
Dental circumstances would relieve you of
those excruciating pains. Why my dear feel
1t almost duty to censure you for INDUCING
such an imprudent appetite. Why don't you
know DR.. Kroch says that all fruits and vegeta-
bles contain microbes? Anst0er-Ah well, DIR.
Kroch has located the microbes, but not the
remedy. He should know of the merits of

Clydesdale Horse Fair.

On the second Saturday of August,
Messrs. Samuel Byers s. Son, of Shemoka
Run. OF this county, will give a Fair at
Weyer's Cave Station, on the Valley Rail-
road for the exhibition of the colts sired dur
ing last year by Mr.. B. s magnificent thor
oughbred Clydesdale stallion, which he i'm
ported from Pennsylvania about eighteen
months since. For the finest colt there
will be awarded a premium of 500. The
sire will also be exhibited, and two other
thoroughbreds which Mr.. B. imported last
March. The grounds chosen for the Fair
are only a few hundred yards from the sta
tion and are beautiful and select. Mr..
Powell, of Pennsylvania, who is one of
the most experienced and successful deal
ers in thoroughbred heavy-draft horses in
America, will deliver a lecture on horse
raising, and G. d. A. Curry will give a
practical talk on thrift and enterprise.
The Fair will open with band music at 10
a. M, sharp. The public, all ages and
sexes, are cordially invited to attend this
novel and well-timed enterprise, and will
be heartily welcomed without admission
fees. The Messrs. Byers are the first men
that introduced this unequaled thorough
bred, heavy draft stock into the State, and
the public should, by a generous outpour-
ing, show it's appreciation of their enter
prise. The Messrs. B. have been at great
expense and have worked hard TO intro
duce this fine stock, and merit universal
thanks. They are of the shrewd men that
aptly realize that the best paying enter
prises have to be worked harder when
they pay least, and require much thought
as well as work. In fact, to succeed at
anything brains and work must be we'll
mixed together.

wards. Iientenant Lockwood and DR..
Pavey hauled Ellison into Camp, Fredericks
and Linn walking. Elison's feet were
frozen beyond cure and all his fingers and
thumbs were lost.
Ellison was carefully cared for and lived
through the whole winter, receiving the
best of rations and more than the others,
and only died on July s. His joy at the
rescue and his terrible suffering was more
than his weakened constitution could
stand. The bodies Of Kislingsbnry, Lock
wood. Israe,. Jewell. Ralston, Cross, Linn.
Ellison. Henry. Whistler. Ellis and Schnei-
der were brought here Jones was buried
at Diske. The others were buried in the
ice. On August 8. 1888. the party left
Fort Conger. All were then well. The
party had steam launch. two whaleboats
and Il dinghy. all loaded with provisions.
Capt. Halves was reached without much
difficulty. There the party was beset in
the ice and drifted for thirty days. On
August %, Greedy and his men were off
Cape Sabine, but they were unable to land,
owing to the open water and heavy ice.
Several times they were within mile of
the shore, but could not land. Not one of
the party was accustomed to the manage
ment of boats. They abandoned the steam
launch and one of the whale-boats. The
dinghy was used for fuel. On September
20 they landed on Eskimo Point, which is
between Baird's Ihlet and Rosseboy. All
were then well. They made their first
camp at this place. After finding the
Beebe cache left by the Neptune, and the
stores left by the Proteus, and knowing
thatno vessel would reach them this year,
they moved their camp to the point where
they were found. ~
They prepared for the winter. and sent
out hunting parties. but with poor success.
They hoped to reach Iittleton Island when
the channel froze over, but it did not
freeze during the whole winter. and their
boats were used as fuel. They were afraid
to attempt the journey in the boats earlier
in the year. They moved from Eskimo
Point to Camp Clay on October %. In
The spring their boats were burned, and
they were unable to reach the provisions
at Littleton Island.

DEATH OF Mrs. MATILDA CRAIG.-On
Sunday last, at her residence in this city,
Mrs. Matilda Craig, reIic5 of VIM. Craig,
dec ID, died Of heart disease, In the nth year
of her age. She was sister Of the late
William, Jefferson and Chesley Kinney,
and a lady of many social and intellectual
attractions. Retiring in her disposition,
it was with no ostentatious display that
her christian graces shone out. 1t was
around the hearth-stone and in the init
macy of family affinities-a among the poor
and needy, that she found congenial asso-
Citations and the avenues where her tender
sympathies and gentle nature found ex-
preston. She was buried from the First
Presbyterian Church, of which she had
long been a consistent member, the fu-
neral services being conducted by Rev. J.
E. Booker, of the Second Presbyterian
Church.
