Deacon DinWiddie Speaks.

Deacon Dinwiddie sat In Brother Jones
grocery last night, eating dried peaches
and discussing the situation regarding the
approaching election.
at is somewhat to be deplOred that the
primaries were conducted unfairly, but
then the voice of the party has spoken,
ank am gOln' TO vote like as / was blind

deacon emphatically.
81 have done that way all my life, but /
am not going TO do so this year." said
Jones, shaking his index finger at the dea-
con.
What is the matter Of you? Did you
expect TO get a nomination and get de-
feated ?" said the deacon.
"The time has come 10 have men in Office
not for their worth as political tricksiers,
but for their ability. You see Barnett for
CITY attorney, was not nominated for his
worth, br to beat Shaw, and that was all
ACCOMPLISHED in the primaries" said
Jones.

the deacon, sand / was not supposed to
know what transpired there. The city
convention was conducted fairly" replied
the deacon.
course Inc CITY COONcullOu was
right" sarcastically said Jones as he went
out and weighed out fifty cents worth Of
sugar for the widow Kelsey whom the dea-
con had tipped his hat very graciously TO,
as she came in.
Deacon Dinwiddie went home bordering
over the matter, and found his son John
kicking about Rauck for recorder.
WHY SO ?" asked the deacon.
"He rules by prejudice and passion, and
is not the man for the place." he tartly
told his father.
The deacon told John that next year he
might be a candidate himself for some
Office, and lac must keep himself straight so
as to stand solid with the mOss-backs.
This touched John in the right spot, and
he finally agreed to give In and go Tor
Rauck.
The, ceacon is a thoroughbred in politics.
He knows how TO touch the disafiected In
the right spot. He has held the lucrative
Office Of deacon for over thirty years, and
he likes the position like cat loves milk.
After telling his daughter, Sarah, that
he wanted breakfast early so that he could
get TO church before service In order ID do
little talking for Barnett and Rauck. the
two weakest on the ticket, he went to bed
and snored so outrsgeOusly loud that the
cat in the garrett could not sleep.

Near Gambler, Knox Bounty, Ohio
lived, until few days ago, Sarah Walk
er. For some time Sarah had been suffer
ing from Inflammation of the bowels
She was a "Spiritualist, and scorned the
idea of calling Il physician. She sent for
the Medium" one Burris, who claims
that when administering his faith medi-
cine he is possessed of the spirit of an In
dian Chief, and mutters d horrible jargon
which he dignifes with the title OF Choc-

Burrjs made a diagnosis Of the case. and
decided that the woman was possessed OF
the evil spirit Of a man who died in that
neighborhood several years ago, and that
the only way to relieve her was TO drive
the evil spirit out. He had the woman
shut up in room, allowing no one to see
her several days. Finally the friends OF
the family concluded that they would see
what was going on inside, and entered
the room. The oman was found dead
her body badly bruised, showing that she
had been made the victim of violent treat

innde of treatment of this spiritual doe
tor was the "laying on of hands" In
other words, it is supposed that his idea
was that the only way to drive the evil
spirit out Of her was to whip him out.
and he therefore beat the woman with
his hands until the spirit was gone, and
the inflammation was cured. But when
the spirit was gone the body was dead

One of the worst effects of the St.
John party is the blow it has given to
woman's influence in politics. AS is
we'll known the only hope for woman
suffrage is outside the Democratic
party. That party has never failed to
oppose any radical change in politics
as unconstitutional. Nearly all the
woman suffragists, we mean the voters,
are in the Republican party, and
while that party will continue to con-
troll the Northern States, its majori-
ties will be too much reduced to Sc
cure any radical changes in anything.
And. besides, the support which the
w. c. T. q. gave st. John has chang
