John Thompson, of Thompson, the
young man who has been gradually
rotting away from dry gangrene in his
feet at St. Luke's hospital, had them
amputated near the knees by Drs.
Walbank and Collins this afternoon.
The operation is most delicate one
and it is doubtful if he will survive
the shock.

officeholding is getting unpopular"
Now, Bob, what is the use OF saving
that. If We didn't watch YOU fellows
you would steal the whole country and
run off to Canada with it. And as for
office holding becoming unpopular,
ha, ha, ha, that is good for fact.

idea, that there is no hell for wicked
politicians. Otficeholding becoming

Southern .Sentim ent.
1--WE have this time" said a r.

1--WE have this time," said rep
resentatiye Southern Democrat,
"given not only our solid vote but
our money also. With our money
he has carried four Northern states.
Southern Democrats have contrib
uted literally, and may say that it
is questionable whether without our
money in addition to our votes
Cleveland would have been elected.
Our title to consideration is perfect,
and there is no reason why we
should stand back and not take our
share of the fruits of the victory we
have won."
Southern Democrats here are for a
complete turn about. They do not
take to the ideas of the Independ-
ent Republicans about the civil ser
vice. Their notion of reform is that
Republicans be turned cut and that
Democrats be put in their places
They resent the suggestion that the
"mugwumps," as they are learning
TO call the followers Of Curtis and
Schurz and their Yankee coadjutors
in Boston, shall have anything TO
say about what Cleveland shall do
or what the policy of his admins
TRITON shall be. "T'hese boiling
Republicans" said Virginia Dem
ocrat, "wanted to beat Blaine, and il
they think they have done it let
them be satisfied. What they have
done does not entitle them to share
in the formation or the spoils of the
new administration"
An Alabama Democrat said:
"This is a Democratic victory-the
restoration of the Democratic party
to power. There is no better way
to decide who shall have the lions
share than by seeing where the
electoral votes come from. Of
Cleveland's 2l9 votes the North
gives only sc. All the other votes
are from the South"
Already there is much of this
kind of talk here. Throughout all
these years there have remained in
Washington a number of old-school
Democrats, important once, and be-
ieving themselves not less so now,
who are coming forth to have their
share in shaping things. They
adopt the Southern idea, as Indicated
above. Mr. Cleveland will be for
tunate if, when he comes to Wash
ington, he escapes being brought
under this kind of domination. The
Democrats referred to propose to
begin as nearly as possible where
they left off, almost thirty years ago.

here and there in white loose robes,
low necked, covered with jewels (slaves
they are yet, all are subject to the mas

with flowers and fountain. We en-
tered large salon, with gay divans,
and on the lovely Turkish rugs sat sew
en- women, some smoking, sewing, loll-

slaves standing ready to do their bid

brothers. Some were young, some
were old; one pretty little wife, only IA
years old, had one child months old
She had a chance to say a word to the
teacher some weeks ago, and told her
she remembered when some men took
her from her mother in Caucassia,
about three years ago. She had been
sold twice since. She said the old
wives beat her sometimes, when they
saw the husband show any affection
towards her. She is so sad; was COW
