!: nEpUlILlCAN NATIONAL TICKET.
StO,,inclls In Politics.

Because tho Bourbons retain their hold
on West Virginia there arc Republicans
who areready to belabor the Greenbackers
for. not keeping faith. 1t is fact that
many Grcenbackcrs went back to the
Democratic party, whence they came. A
large body Of them stood by tho peoples
ticket, and arc in little danger OF falling
into tho Democratic ranks.
II is too early 10 tell what percentage OF
sGreenbackcrs stood BY Maxwell and what
percentage did not. 1t is equally difficult
! to estimate how many Republicans cut
Maxwell because their. delicate stomachs
couldn't take the mixed ticket. Probably
these rigid Republicans will find delight
in four years OF Wilson Bourbonism
There is difference in stomachs.

3 Bclv, I.uckwvnd's Campaign.

z The most amusing spectacle OF the pres
sent political contest is tho attitude OF
Mrs. Bclva Lockwood, who has been NOM
I mated by her sisters in woe" as candi-
date for President. OF course when the
nomination was made and when Mrs.
Lockwood wrote her letter OF acceptance
everybody laughed at the joke and
thought it n piece Of humor on the part of
the women. Mrs. I.ockwood's candidacy,
however, has turned out differently. Be-
ing a lawyer in Washington city she saw a
chance for obtaining 4 great deal Of noto-
Z, riety cheap, and with-this thought came
, thedoterminationt to take the stump. She
Z haseven gone SO farasto be the guest Of the
4 louisville Exposition and place herself on
exhibition. From MrsI a.ockwood's ac-
tons one would naturally suppose her 10
BIO devoid OF the delicate ideas Of proprie-
(which all true women possess.
M Her scheme for notoriety is working
wei, but whether it will be OF any cash
value to her is n matter OF doubt. All
thinking people see through her purpose.
They know that she can never BE- elected
President. IN
Rt On Sunday night she addressed an au-
dience at the Academy OF Music, New
York city. The attendance was very
slim as an admission was charged, and
she came on the platform and requested
the management to let in all others free.
: No one entered. 5, ~ ls.t5
The burden OF her song was that the
time had come when woman could no
longer be relegated to the cradle and the
\ kitchen. This issue strikes us as being
nearly as bad as the free trade hercsy OF
the Democratic party. II we arc 10 have
y no women Mt the cradles and in the
y kitchen what will this country come to ?
n The thought is terrible and we leave in
pain. a.
~ IN herrandom remarks she claimed that
there was nothing in the Constitution 10
4 prevent her from filling tho Presidential
chair. No, nothing except votes; and TO
any reasonable mind this would seem to
/ BIO sufficient. Belva closed her speech
with weak witticism: .i$s,f
Mo person under the age Of thirty-iive
years is eligible to the Presidency.
Some OF you may think ! am not eligible
on that account" Mrs. Lockwood suggest
led, with wintry smile. "All TINT I need
TO elect me-" she continued, "is a majority
3ot electoral votes, and by your aid will
get them. This is a free country, and at
the coming election you can vote for me
or any other man." Z.

4 Sign Of Success,

While Verdi was putting the finishing
touches upon IN Trayatoren he was visited
in his study BY privileged friend, who
was one Of the ablest living musicians and
critics. Tho latter was permitted to glance
over the score and try, the ""Anvil chorus''
OH the pianoforte. ."'What do you think
Of that?" asked the master. .s"Trash p
said the connoisseur. Verdi rubbed his
hands and chuckled. "Now look at this,
and this, and this" he said. Rubbish p
The composer rose and embraced his
friend with burst Of joy. "What do YOU
mean by such strange conduct?" asked
the critical one. "Aly dear friend" re-
spondcd the master, 'I+have been COM
posing popular opera; in it / resolved
to please everybody except the great
judges and classicists like you. Had |

II Mr.. Blaine's most affecting and most

This was one Of the half adozen big towns

at Lancaster his connections, Mr.. Ewing,
the greatest Wing perhaps in tho State,
who was in q prosperous career andcould
bestow his sons well In lie. Mr.. Blaine
belonged 10 u parentage whose patrimony
was spent in good living and good nature.
hut d Republican equality and honesty In
thnt duy brought tho sons OF respectable
people together on tho same plane with
out tho least regard 10 their future pros.
poets. Mr.. Ewing would alt absorbed at
the breakfast table, and turning to his
daughter. now the wife Of General Sher-
man, would tear of piece Of her
bread and awaking from lis preoccupa.
ton would say with a gentle smile:
daughter, ! will divide tho last crust
with you" Blaine and tho Ewinss and
Shrrmans went together to Columbus, not
far distant, TO sec tho State capital In It's
glory. They made close bargain with
The landlord TO know what tho bill would
be. and II delighted him TO see the boys
Gnancjering with him, the friend Of their
fathers. These incidents were related 10
mo In Lancaster two years ago by one OF
The Ewings, perhaps the same who has
entertained Mr.. Blaine. It would be a
nice reception for Sheer and Sneak to 20
out to Lancaster and tell tho descendants
Of Mr.. Ewing that Blaine was corrupt
man, a thief and liar. These two mon
without country would feel rs II the
whole West had struck them at once.

Government Telegraph Rates.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 4.-The postmaster
general to-day, acting under the provisions
of the act of 1865, which requires the post
master general annually to fix the rates to
be paid for government telegraphing, issued
an order fixing the rates for the remainder
of the current fiscal year as follows: For
day messages of not exceeding twenty
words, exclusive Of date, twenty cents for all
distances within 1000 miles, with an addi-
tional charge OF five cents for every addi-
tional $50 miles, or fraction thereof, but for
no distance is the rate to exceed
fifty cents; for night messages
of not exceeding twenty words
exclusive of date, fifteen cents for all dis
tances below 1000 miles, and for greater
distances twenty-five cents. For both day
and night messages an addition Of one-fifth
rate is to be made for every five words or
fraction thereof in excess Of twenty words
For cipher messages known as signal service
weather reports the rate shall not exceed
three cents per word, sent over each circuit
as now or hereafter established by the signal
service officer, and all such messages are to
be dropped at such intermediate points
as may be designated without extra
charge. It is further provided that in no
case shall the government be charged higher
rates than the public is charged for the same
service. The reduction ordered to-day is the
greatest reduction made in any one year or
series Of years. The rates promulgated To-
day are those reported by the senate com nit
tee on postoffices and post roads last winter,
in their postal telegraph bill. The postmas-
ter general thinks it fair to adopt them for
government service
