A BRASS AND BRAID CAM
PAlGX.

San Francisco politicians are go
ing wild over tinsel. Both parties
are trying to Guido each other in
organizing political military COM
panies. The leaders act as il the
masses of the people were incapa-
BILE of reasoning, and conduct the
compaign as if it is to be decided
by the greatest display of brass
and braid. There are thousands Of
men enrolled in uniform clubs, with
high-sounding military names, the
prevalent idea being that the party
making the most imposing street
parade will receive the mort votes
in November. This fuss and
feathers convinces no one, yet &C.
cording to the papers it is the most
attractive feature of the campaign
and thousands of people of all ages
and sexes line the sidewalks when
the plumed and epauletted cham
ions of Cleveland or Blaine march
through the streets. People seem
to be determined in their choice
for President, by the gaudy uni
form of political club rather than
by issue on which the parties are
divided, and it looks very much as
if the election in San Francisco is
to be decided by street pageants,
instead of arguments.-Silver State.

The Haley Times says: A
friends. inquiries why the Times
does not give this or that candi-
date "lift' in its columns. Sim
ply because it has not been ten
dered the usual $40 for the an
nouncement. Business isbusiness,
and a man, too mean to pay for an
announcement, or who tries the
silent dodge to worm himself into
a paying office, proves himself too
stingy or too tricky to deserve pub
lie confidence.
From the tenor Of the above we
should say that the Times was ed
tied by level-headed man.

-IHoUGH it may seem strange
to some that our District Attorney.
Mr.. John G, Wicklife, should have
taken such an active part in the
prosecution of the libel case against
Mccormick & HUE, commenced
last week and finished before Mag
'strate Wilmington on Thursday,
the gentleman disavows most ear
nestly that he was actuated by none
but the best of motives. Taking
into consideration the fact that this
was the first case of its character
ever tried in the District, and that
1t held at stake the reputation and
integrity of one of our District
Judges, under whom he was to
practice and endeayor' to watch
and guard against all offend
ers OF the laws of Louisiana, are
the plain reasons that moved him
to action. This, of course, is not
intended as an apology, for the
gentleman knows and feels that he
has but done that which he believes
to be his sacred duty.

HEAVY STORM.
Terrific Wind and Rain Storm in the
East-Much Damage Done.

PITTsBURG, Dec. Ga terrific wind and
rain storm passed over western Pennsyl-
vania at O'Clock this evening, and although
it lasted but few minutes great damage TO
property was done. In this city the tele-
graph wires, swinging signs, chimneys, etc.
suffered severely. One sign four feet wide
and covering the entire length Of a business
block on Seventh avenue was carried away,
falling on a woman named Pfaff and her two
children, Willie, aged six, and Gertie,
three years old, who accompanied
her. The boy was killed instantly, and the
mother and little girl seriously, but it is
thought not fatally injured. There were
rumors OF accidents in other parts OF this
city and Allegheny, but nothing definite is
yet received. At Greensburg, West More
land county, the roof Of the eour; house was
carried of, but no one injured. No reports
OF damage is received from other towns.
The wires are down in all directions and
telegraph companies are experiencing great
difficulty in handling business.
New YORK, Dec. 6--Pedestrians out last
evening realized that one of the severesl
storms of the season was raging over the
city, and those whom kind fortune kept in
uOolH NOulu couBE6tulalt themselves Win the
reason. 1t began to rain about O'Clock, and
continued steadily during the afternoon and
evening. AT s the wind increased in velO-
city and was blowing gale over the house
tops, while it scurried through the streets in
sheets that ratified against the windows an
buildings with great force. The streets were
swept clean and the payments fairly secured.
The effect of the storm in this city was
marked. The streets became deserted after
p. M. and even the Bowery, which is gen
orally thronged all night Saturdays. was as
dreary as a side street. while electric lights
and Illuminated signs called but few visitors
within the doors over which they shed their
glare. The theatres suffered from the storm,
and the usual large Saturday night audiences
were wanting. The Times notes the trouble
with telegraph wires, and adds that all prin-
cipal points were reached, however, through
roundabout routes, from northern circuits.
Little trouble is reported from wires near this
city. The low lands about town are sub
merged, and many cellars along the river
streets flooded.

terest Our people, when properly ap-
preached, have responded favorably as a
rule. There has heen but one feeling with
those who understood the object of the fair
and with few exceptions a cheerful response
has been given. Those who have borne the
battle deserve and viii ever be solicit
ously cared for by our loyal
people. The committees have not felt it
necessary that any one give largely. In a
city as large as this there is no call for it, A
little as free will offering at this Christmas
season for the relief of the man who wore
the Union blue, whose dependent family is
all that is required and all that is desired
1t will greatly encourage the Women's Relief
corps, however, if they see every man,
woman and child in Armory hall sometime
during the fair, and it is hoped the house
wives of the city will respond to this desire
by informing their husbands that on We'd
nesday, Thursday and Friday that dinner
will be served at Armory hall with a free mo-
ter ride thrown in.
The committee in charge have courteously
agreed that the drills of the carnival guard
and fan brigade may be continued every af-

advisors, and several subcommittee at Ar

The escape of a prisoner from the county
Jail Thursday night has attracted consider
able criticism. 1t seems that the county
commissioners are alone TO blame. The
sheriff is allowed $12O month with which to
hire Waterman and turnkey During the
day it takes two men to attend to the Jail,
and as the commissioners refuse to allow
pay for night Waterman, prison contain
ing at times nearly hundred prisoners is
unguarded at night.
