A CONSPIRACY to oyerturn the pres
ent Government in Mexico is an
nOunced. Three prominent men, i'm
plicated in the plot, are said to have
been shot by order of the President.
Certainly affairs must have reached q
serious point if so high-handed a
course as this has become necessary.
The present administration in Mexico
believes in encouraging the investment
of foreign capital, and is committed to
the protection of investments already
made.

ST. JOHN, the Prohibition candidate,
gives signs Of making his canvass
sharp, if not decisive. In speech at
Rochester, N. Y, last week, he said:
"All political power is inherent in
the people, and the people propose to
use it to protect their homes against
the destructive influence of the 10000
legalized saloons in this country. No
evil to-day is so great as the lqnor
traffic 1t is guilty of every crime
known in the catalogue of crime. 1t
rObs the poor of their money and the
nation of its honor and manhood. 1t
destroys homes, stufs baliot-boxes,
SCOTS at virtue, and revels in vice. 1t
has no conscience and knows no God,
and ought to be condemned by the
laws Of the land. Yet acknowledged
as it is to be the greatest evil of the
day, neither of the old political parties
dares TO say Il word against it for fear
of losing the whiskey vote"

No More Little Elections

2
One among the best enactments of
the last Legislature was that abolish
ing the Inspectors and Assessors cleo
tions, popularity know as the Little
Election AN institution that was
hoary with age and loaded down with
political sins. 1t was an oT-shot of our
early and crude political legislation
when the population was sparse and
the people divided by sections desig-
mated as Hundreds" popularity we
believe considered to contain about
that number of voters. This election
was abolished because considered an
unnecessary expense to the tax PAYERS.
but it was further Objectionable because
1t intensified month of bitter political
anlmOslties, in most cases commencing
on that day. And, besides. it let loose
the political blood hounds" " on all
men who were considered party slaves
but were giving evidences of independ-
ent thinking and claiming the freedom
to vote as their minds dictated. The
Inspector and Assessor who served two
years ago will serve this, and those to
serve two years hence will be elected
on the general ticket on the 4th of
November. Thus, these officers will
always be chosen two years ahead of
their time.

ANOTHER anecdOte In connection
with the earthquake Is related CON
cerning a young lady living in the
Meek, and who like the one mentioned
last week had never become acauaint-
ed with that dread of Northerners--a
chill. II seems the young lady in
question was also trying TO obtain her
afternoon nap-a fashion which seems
TO be in favor with the fair sex, special
~ on Sunday afternoons. No sooner
had she fallen asleep when her head
commenced TO swim, and n sickening
sensation passed through her system
She arose and informed the members of
the family that she must have had a
chill, and was looking for it to be re-
peated on the following Tuesday. but
being in town and hearing Of the
earthquake she came TO the conclusion
it was that which allied her as the fever
was missing, and went home very well
satisfied that it was only an earth
quake.
