was here that the youthful Decatur went
to his doom by the unerring aim of Bar

THE HANDWRITING ON THE WALL.

Truth will out. Even Associated
Press lies vanish before official figures.
According to the latest reports the cleo
tions of last week show the following ex.
traordinary results;
l. The Republican plurality in Ohio
is reduced to about half of what it was
four years ago.
2. The Republican majority on the
State ticket is less than NOTHING. The
Republicans are actually in MINORITY,
while four years ago they had a positive
majority of over 5000 over Democrats,
Greenbackers and Prohibitionists COM
biuod.
3. The Republicans are not only in q
minority in the popular vote of Ohio, but
they elect minority of the CongressIon-
al delegation, Four years ago they
elected Is Republicans to Congress
This year they only elect 10. Four
years ago the Democrats elected only &
Representatives; this year they elect IL
"A majority of the delegation.
4. The increase in the vote of Ohio
over that OF four years Sgo is G6,OOO.
The Democrats cast 80, 600 votes more
than they cast for Hancock, while the
Republicans, in spite of Blaine, Dudley
and Corruption, cast only 10000 more
than they cas-! for Garfield. In otheI
words, nearly two.thirds of the new vote
since 1880 went Democratic, while 8
large part of the Republican one-third
was unquestionably obtained by fraud
and wholesale bribery in the large cities,
5. In West Virginia the Democrats
have an absolute majority, oyer the Re
publicaus and Greenbaokers combined,
nearly three times as large as Hancock 4
majority of 1880. They swept every
Congressional district in the State, gain
ing one now held by Republican.
II this be "victory" the Republicans
are welcome to ii.
These figures show clearly that Blaine
is much weaker than Garfield; that the
popular tide is against him in spite OF
all he does; that he is doomed to defeat.
and that if the Democrats could gain
10000 votes in Garfeld's Republican
Stale over those cast for Hancock, they
should and will gain at least 100 600 in
Democratic New York. where nearly the

Brooks and Jack Lawton, both COL
ored prisoners now confined in our
Parish Jail here, set fire to the in
side of the Jail with a match. They
had the fire started about S O'Clock
in the evening, but by using water
on it, kept the flames from rising.
About 9 o'clock, the hour when Mr..
Geo. Smith, the jailer, discovered it,
they had concluded to let the fire
burn, and had actually covered
themselves up and had gone to bed
to sleep, not caring for themselves
or the other inmates confined Mr..
Smith in company with Jos. James,
succeeded after some little trouble,
in putting the fire out, which, had
it not been discovered so soon,
would have resulted most fatally
no doubt. Brooks, who is now in
Jail awaiting the Governors SEN
tence, acknowledged that he alone
did the act, saying that it made but
little difference to him as to wheth-
or he was burned or not.

Marketing Honey.

One might infer by the naste with
which some Of our friends rush into the
market with their honey that il was a
perishable article. or that 1t was mat
ter of life or death that their honey be
disposed Of at once. Many, again, have
an itt6a thai by getting in iiIIle ahead
Of their neighbor they will secure bet
Ter pr ccs and quicker sales, The
facts in the case are directly the reverse.
But very little honey Is consumed until
the cool weather comes Customers
VIII buy taste of new honey and there
they stop, and are satisfied, until the
berry, fruit and vegetable crops are out
Of they way. Then we may expect
good sale for our honey.
For the most satisfactory results in
disposing Of our honey crop, the homo
market should first be taken into con-
sideration. especially whore the crop to
be disposed Of is not very large,
Honey, like all other commodities,
