Oh EieCliCn.
WASHINGTON, July 25th.-Judge Law
renee, of Ohio, in answer to an inquiry as
to the political outlook, said: There is
but one way to look at it. | do not think
any man who has ever been anything of a
solid, calm observer; can arrive at but one
conclusion. That conclusion is, of course
that the Republican ticket will be elected 5"
VIII Blaine carry New York?'
Z" He will carry New York by $4,000 ma
jority The Democrats had one chance
but they made their usual great blunder.
If they had nominated Thurman, who was
undoubtedly their strongest man, the fight
would have been about an even one. AS
it is, it is a very unequal one, with all the
advantages Of the wide inequality on the
side of the Republicans"
VIII the Republicans carry any South
ern States ?"
&" I don't think they will I have no idea
that any Southern States viii go Republic
can. 1t is true that in one or two South
ern States the majority of the voters are
Republican; but in certain localities they
viii not be allowed TO vote, and in others,
if that privilege is given them, the count
will be manipulated so as to retain the
soidity of the South"
" You depend in some measure upon the
disa1fectiOn of the laboring classes ?"
Yes. The workingmen are against
Cleveland. Many Irish-Americans, who
have heretofore voted the Democratic
ticket, will go the other way this time.
And again, Cleveland cannot get the anti
monopolists. They are against him"
Major Grovenor said 4 feel confident
that Blaine and Logan will be elected by
as large a majority as Grant received i'll
1872. There is absolutely no reason why
they should not carry the country"
What effect will the Independent move
ment have on the campaign p
g The Independents are leaders, and they
were all present-some fifty or a hundred
of them-at the late New York conference.
The so-called Independent is a creature
who controls his own vote; that's all. He
is not the fellow who works during the
election. He just sits in his room and
theories, but never does any practical good
or harm"
" Is Ohio safe for Blaine and Logan ?''
" Yes. Just as safe as she was for the
Republican candidates in 1875. Ohio is a
loyal State"
" Is there any dissatisfaction among the
German element in Ohio this year?"
" No. The Germans can be counted on
as sure to vote the Republican ticket in
national contests"

WASHINGTON TERRITORY.


TACOMA, July 25th-A heavy fire is rag
ing here. Two business blocks are already
destroyed The fire is still beyond control.
The blocks destroyed are located on Pacific
avenue. The origin of the fireis unknown.
The loss is already estimated at over
$50, COO This is the second heavy fire
which has visited Tacoma during the past
six months.
SECOND DISPATCHI
PoRTLAND, July 25th-It is very difficult
to obtain full particulars of the Tacoma
fire, owing to the crowded state of the line.
The latest particulars are as follows: The
fire was first discovered few minutes past
midnight in what was known as the Amer
lean House. This building was located on
Pacific avenue The flames spread very
rapidly, and the entire block being of
wooden buildings, soon everything was on
fire. Owing to the inadequacy of the fire
department, and the scarcity of the water
supply, little progress could be made
toward checking the progress of the fire.
The entire block was soon laid in ashes,
some thirty three frame buildings being
consumed. The buildings were occupied
by small stores shops and saloons. Most
of the contents were saved but all in a
damaged condition. The business portion
of the town narrowly escaped destruction,
and the flames were prevented from cross
ing the avenue with the greatest difficulty.
The buildings destroyed were among the
first erected in Tacoma. A careful esti-
mate places the loss at near $50,0 600 The
insurance is light, not exceeding $4,000
The loss is divided among a great number
of people, and does not fall heavily on a
few The origin of the fire remains mys-
terry Only few months ago Tacoma was
visited by heavy fire.

PHILADELPHIA, July 25th.-The follow
ing from the Times is a fair sample of the
Eastern newspaper comments on the Pro-
hibitionists' nomination: For the first
time in our history the doings of a Prohibi-
ton National Convection have attracted
some attention in political circles. The
nomination of St. John is the best that
could have been made if a third party must
be organized to deal with this question: for
he is a man of fair ability. Since the last
Presidential election the movement has
had considerable accession of strength in
some of the States, and it is not I'M
likely that St. John may secure about fifty
thousand votes in the whole country. The
Prohibiuonists' purposes are fixed upon
Massachusetts,, New York, Pennsylvania,
Ohio and Kansas, where electoral tickets
will be placed in the field The Mcdonald
boom came TO sad end by some enemy
showing tares in his wheat, through the
charge that he made his millions by selling
bitters His eulogist in the Convention de-
nounced this as a foul SANDER, and he was
probably correct, as there was little less
than water mixed with some harmless de
cocti0n. All the money taken in was
profit, the principal cost of the mixture
being in printing and folding the much
vaunted temperance tract.

New YORK, July 25th.-General Neal
Dow has written letter to the editor of a
New Jersey Prohibition paper as follows
Il have had many letters from different
parts of the country, making inquiries
about Blaine. My reply has been that he
has always been a friend of the Maine law,
and has many times rendered important

constitutional amendment, and will vote
for it, He IS also teetotaler, and has been
so for several years"

and wood beside it,
And the rumbled, messy pasture-land runs
close up to its door;
While away buck in the greenness, with TUT
of fern TO hide it,
And flash like purest crystal, spring bub-
bes and runs DER
There's battered lineup hanging on n droop-
ing bough close by it,
Where the sunlight comes in flckers and the
shadows gather dim.
Oh, the rush OF childish footsteps when at re-
cess time they spy it!
Oh, the flash of cooling water! Oh, the warm
lips Mt its blim!
Then the pulling at the birches, the delightful
swish and rustic,
And the cracking of the tender twigs, the
noisy bursts of glee;
When the sharp rap on the window calls-oh,
what merry tussle
In the filling-out OF pockets SO that no sharp
eye may see!
The dark room grows strongly cheerful as the
little smuggers gather,
And spicy, woodsy fragrance penetrates its
dney hooks.
All, how sly the rodents nibDle, while they
make vain endeavor
70 appear absorbed in cleaning from the wis
dom of their books!
When the daily tasks are ended, and, with
dinner baskets swaying,
All the little folks bound homeward, and the

Then across the teachers weary face pleas

AS she brushes out he litter with her clumsy

Petering Ont.

Nevada is said to be gradually "pe.
tering out" 50 to speak. Her popula-
ton has dwindled to 62,000, which
makes her the most thinly inhabited
state in the Union; the big residences
at Virginia City and Gold Hill, which
cost immense sums Of money, are being
torn down and used for firewood, and
the rich deposits of ore, out Of which
such great fortunes were being made
a few years ago, have nearly all been
exhausted. The state has no agricul
tural possibilities, and unless she can
find way to utilize her deposits of
salt, sulphur and boraX, must soon
cease to produce anything worth men
tioning.

diameter. 1t was costly and flashing
piece of jewelry. When the purchase
had been made the diamond merchant
turned to me and remarked; THAT
was gambler, That pin will help
him in his business, and when he
wants to sell it he can make double
money on it. 1t is good investment.
The fact is, diamonds are good invest
ments for anybody. because they al
ways command fair money value
There is no such thing as second

THROUGH LIFE.

We slight the gifts that every season bears,
And let them iall unheeded from our grasp,
In our great eagerness to reach and clasp
The promised treasure OF the coming years;
Or else we mourn some great good passed
away,
And in the shadow of our grief shut in
Refuse the lesser good we yet might win,
The offered peace and gadncss of to-day.
30 through the chambers of our life we pass,
And leave them one by one, and never stay,
Not knowing how much pleasantness there was
In each, until the closing OF the door
Has sounded through the house and died
away,
And in our heart we sigh, "For evermore."
