Prohibitlonist Daniels Pet Vanity.

OnICasO LeIttI'
Daniel, the cold-water candidate for Vice
president, attracted considerable attention while
here recently. He is a dapper little fellow, his
head about reaching to an ordinary mans
shoulder and his feet the smallest in the world.
Mrs. ingalls,, the comely matron down on Michi-
gan boulevard, acted as chief bridesmaid at
Daniels swell wedding at Baltimore, many years
ago, and she says that all the bridesmaids
essayed to try on Daniels shoes after the cere-
mony, but the feminine feet were all too large
to fit The bridal Clnderellas were compelled to
discard the little grooms slippers, and it panied
them keenly. Since that eventful occasion his
feet have remained OF the same diminutive pro
portions, but his head has swelled immensely
with the nomination for the vice presidency.

Stone forests are in many parts OF the
world. A number of stoney trees have
been received at the Smithsonian 1nsti.
tute from the West. In many cases they
are hardened by the peculiar atmosphere
as they stand, and in others they are
buried, the parts being replaced by min.
cral matter. The Little Colorado river
in Arizona has long been a famous local.
ity for these finds. At one place more
than fifteen hundred cords of trunks and
sections of logs We're found by govern
ment surveyors. Most Of them were
sllicified. Many are seven feet or more
in diameter, and from twenty to seventy
feet in height. The greater part of them
have probably been covered in the mari
that originally was one thousand feet
thick. Some Of the trees are changed to
Jasper, assuming numerous hues. while
others resemble opal, and when broken
open the core is often found lined with
crystals of the most beautiful tints.
Louisiana and Ohio are noted localities
for fossil trees. In the former State,
several years ago, in turning mp the
ground an ancient forest layer was un
earthed, and in succession two Others
below it; and scientists Judge, from the
size Of the trees, and from the time o
the first layer to the la t, that 20, 00(
years must have elapsed In the re
mains Of the glacial drift in Ohio old for
ests are often discovered. Some hav
been buried beneath the water by tn
sinking Of tho land. Some of the Obi
trees are not entirely changed into stone
being yet soft, while Others are found i
all stages, from rock to porous spong
matter.

AZ Mr.. A. Winters, rancher from
Southern Nye, was on his way to Bel.
mont topay his- "a. -, d atopaol on last
Sunday night at Mr. Wilkes. San An.
tonic. Here he met two miners of bro.
ken fortune named respectively J. W.
Fdrber and B. L. Keenan,, who have been
employed short time by Mr.. Wilke on
asse ,,ment work. Winters having occa
sion to hand Wilke twenty dollar bank
bill, returned the remainder OF the rail Of
bills to his 'ckey box in the wagon which
Fnrber saw done The miners instead Of
going to their work as usual, waited till
about noon, and when Winters proposed
starting offered to get his team ready.
Wintres stepping in to say good bye,
Furber proceeded to hitch up the team,
while Keenan, searched the wagon and
finding the box stole the money. Win.
tiers ust then coming out saw him at the
box and g'ing up t, the wagon took out
his pocket, book and said to Furber,
you see it is empty" and very cnolls
taking his pistol from the wagon and
turning to Keenan, said, "Paltner, yor
have got my greenbacks, and had better
give them up, as You can't get away with
them" Keenan, began using abusive
and threatening language, at the sam'
time endeavoring to draw ouo his revol
yer, when Winters fired, killing him in
stantly. Mr.. Reed wa' appointed t,
guard the body, which laid where it fel
till Judge Ball, the coroner from Bel
mont, came. Upon searching the body
bills were found amounting to one hun
tlred and eighty dollars, which Winter
identified as his. The deceased bein
brought to Belmont an inquest and eS
animation was held on Wednesday eve
The jury rendered verdict for Winters
ucquittal on the ground of justifiabl
homicide. The deceased was buried o.

Quaar .I11stina.


The Boston papers are inclined to crlti-
else, and not without good reason, the de-
cision of Judge Parmenter In a recent as
saulr case, which on account of the social
standing of the defendant relatives, at
tracted good deal of attention. The as
ssilant was son of ex-Mayor Prince, and
his victims were Mr.. Messenger aud Mr..
Jones, Proprietors OF tailoring establish
ment. The firm had made pair of riding
pants for Mr.. Prince, which the latter had
many times refused to pay for. Last week
the bill was sent him again, and he was in
formed that unless 1t was promptly paid le-
gal measures would be taken to compel
settlement. Young Prince, conceiving this
to be an insult, Immediately hired cab and
rode to the store OF Mr.. Messenger. Gor e
into the store he informed Mr. Messenger of
what the collector had said to him, and
when Mr.. Messenger endorsed his collect
or's act, Prince promptly knocked him
down. Mr. Jones, partner in the concern,
coming to Mr.. Messengers assistance, was
knocked down also, while Mr.. Messengers
son, who was just recovering from an attack
of diphtheria, and was in weak condition,
only escaped similar fate by lodging
around the counters, with young Prince in
pursuit. The elder Messenger, who Has
aged and feeble, was quite badly hurt.
Prince was arrested and taken before
Judge Parmenter, who, after hearing the
case, let him off with fine Of $125! No ex-
tenuating circumstances were revealed at the
trial. On the contrary the assault was shown
to have been entirely unprovoked, unless
insistence on The payment of a debt justly
due be provocation, cowardly and brutal. To
man OF Princes resources the imposition
of a fine of 1925 was no punishment whatev-
er. The knowledge beforehand that he
would have to pay that sum for the fun
of cleaning out tailoring establishment"
which was his declared purpose when he ap-
peared at Mr.. Messengers, would not have
deferred him an instant from carrying out
his design. As for the disgrace OF being
brought before a criminal court which Judge
Parmenter expatiated upon at considerable
length. the Boston Advertiser very truly
says that "while the publicity of the ARRAY,
the trial and the judgment of guilty would
be looked upon by sensitive man as deep
dilgrace, yet to man capable Of the offence
such train OF events is of little moment
when be is allowed TO atone by SO meagre q
fac as $125."
The fact is, aud 1t cannot be successfully
concealed, that young Prince was let of
with what amounted to no punishment
at all. There is not doubt that there are
scores of men 10 Massachusetts, jails
to-day for offences very slight indeed In
comparison with Princes. 1t is such parti-
ality as this that gives color to the popular
notion that there lie one law for the rich and
influential and another for the poor aud un-
known. Such cases, however, must not be
regarded as peculiar to Massachusetts. We
In Maine bad one not many months ago,
when man who shot companion in
drunken spree was let off with fine of $1,000,
sum which probably did not represent
tenth of his annual income.

The Vote of the Country

Tbere have been many requests for the
publication of the full vote in the ate cleo
ton; but Il has not been practicable to do
this heretofore with any satisfactory ap-
proaeh to correctness. The dispatches have
been incomplete and confusing. This morn
ing, however, we print table of the vote
for the Republican and Democratic candi-
dates in all tia States except Texas, in COM
patison with the vote OF 1880. This table is
based upon one given in the Philadelphia
Press, corrected by what appear TO be
more Trustworthy figures in certain cases.
We bave arranged it 80 as to show the vote
In the different sections, collecting In sep
arate groups the New England States, the
Nor bern Central States, the far Western
States, the Southern Central States and the
Gulf States, including with the latter, for
obvious reasons, South Caroliua. The vote
OF the New England States as given IN this
table differs slightly firm The vote upon
which the article of yesterday was based,
but not sufficiently to affect the general
izatlons OF that article. We may add also
that the report of The vote of 1880 differs
slightly from that given in the Tribune al.
manac, by which Garfeld's plurality in the
whole country is made 9464, instead of 1898
as in this table:

gland where there is a growing indispositlon

gland where there is a growing indisposition
to take the trouble to vote in any election.
In the next group of States those OF the
far West, there is cheering state of things.
Not only was the Republican vote increas ed
in much larger ratio than the Democratic
vote, but two States which were Democratic
In 1880 have become Republican, and in
both the others the Republican plurality is
increased. California, which The Dem :
Gratis Carried by plurality of 80 10 1880,
now gives Republican plurality of 1860.
In the Southern Central group of States
the first thing to be noted is that The vote of
each party is much Increased. Leaving the
estimated Butler vote in the States where
there was fusion out of the reckoning, the
Republican vote is 11S,457 larger than in
1880, and the Democratic vote is 96,394
larger, but the Democratic plurality (not
counting the estimated Butler vote as Re-
publicau) is 22,063 less than before. Della
ware, West Virginia, North Carolina, Ar
kansas aud Missouri, unless the Bntler con-
tingent in the latter State is over-estimated,
increased their Democratic pluraiitIes. In
Maryland, Virginia, Tennessee and Kentucky
the Republicans made notable gains.
The last group, that of the extreme South,
presents some remarkable features. AS the
vote from Texas is not received we will. con-
slider only the SIX States whose vote is given.
There is a strange perhaps not unaccounta-
blel falling off in the vote of each party.
The Republicans in these six threw or, more
correctly, we're allowed to have counted, 264,-
$50 votes In 1880, but this year only 246, SOL,
loss OF over $1,000. The Democrats count
ed for themselves Ala 706 votes in 1880, this
year but 42S,335, loss of over 10000 The
Democratic plurality declines from 209 1862
to 1Sl, GA, an apparent Republican net gam
OF S,1S2. We say an apparent net gain, for
election figures are pretty nearly meaningless
in States where the minority asserts its pur-
pose to rule, and employs intimidation, muir
der, tissue ballots and fraudulent counting
to accomplish its purpose. All the condi-
tons which give significance to election re-
turns so far as relates to the relative numer-
ical strength Of parties are wanting in most
of these States, and the reported result of
an election becomes simply curiosity indi-
eating nothing but the fact OF a great perver-
sion of Republican forms of government, and
great rlme. against human rights.
There are no more instructive facts for the
practical politician than are presented in
election tables when they are calmly and
candidly Analysed. Prejudice and passion,
sentiment and defamation are entirely out
of pace in treating of them. 1t is possible
to joggle with them, TO suppress what is un-
pleasant and please ourselves by displaying
only what is agreeable; but it is not wise. it
does not make that mol to be which is.
The best way is to know the worst and go to
work intelligently to achieve a better result
| next time.

~Euflon vote.
There would be some change in these fig
ures If 1t were possible to separate the But
Ter vote from the straight Republican or
straight Democratic vote in the four States
where there was fusion ticket This can
be done in the case of Michigan where the
two parties cast about $50, 900 for one Cleve-
land elector and about 40, O0e for one Butler
elcctor II the same ratio held good in
Iowa about 81 500 votes must be credited to
Butler there. These Butler votes being de-
Quoted from the Cleveland column viii show
that the true plurality of Mr.. Blaine over
Cleveland in the Northern Central States is
1858, 155 instead of 290,65 In West Virginia
and Missouri the fusion was of the Butler
and Republican tickets. Reckoning on the
same basis as in Michigan, the Butler vote
In West Virginia was 1924, and in Mssou-
ri AZ, 100. II these are subtrscted from Mr..
Blaiue's vote in the Southern Central States
Clevelaud's plurality there will be 1877, 1853.
The net gain for the Republicans by this re-
vision is about 81 500 increasing Mr.. Blaint's
plurality 10 the ~ States to 90,205. Wheth-
er the returns from Texas, when received,
will leave him small plurality or give
Cleveland small plurality in the country is
matter Of doubt The Tribune says s'if
either had any plurality whatever it is ap-
parently smaller than the insignificant plu-
rality which President Garfield obtained"
In the group of Northern Central States,
the great States of the nation in population,
intelligence aud wealth, some of them cast
ing more votes than all New England, the
Republicans threw 19S, $50 more votes than
In 1880, and the Democrats (not counting
the Butler vote) threw 1855 more votes.
The Republican vote was increased in every
State of the group. The Democratic vote
was diminished in Pennsylvania, but in
creased in all the others. New Jersey is the
only State carried by the Democrats in both
elections, and in the last election they cap
tured New York and Indiana. In Pennsyl-
vania the Republicans increased their plu-
rallty from 1926 to S0,521, magnificent
