THE "boys" would bet, and bet
again. This is a pernicious habit,
and those indulging in the practice
will find out, sooner or later, that
the folly gains them nothing. If a
fellow win he consoles himself with
the shallow belief that he has made
"clear" SO much money. If he lose,
which of course he or the other fell
low must, then he bemoans his fate
makes him cross and ill-tempered
and even distrustful. Nor is this
all. The majority of young men
making wagers are far from being
able to stand the loss. Many go SC
far as to borrow money to lay a bet
This is worse than all. The very
best advice we can extend, and es
pecially to our friends, is not to be
at all. Take it out in talk and jest
ing. In this way happiness is thu
result out of all political contests.

SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 8, 1884.

AFTER twenty-four years of en-
deayor the Democratic party has at
last succeeded in electing a Presi-
dent in the person of Hon. Grover
Cleveland. In this act there is
no need of Republicans. becomir g
frightened or picturing scenes of
misery and want all over this land
TO those who are not posted in the
working of political parties. There
is no danger of free trade. The re-
duction in taxes will be made Just
as Democratic and Republican plat
forms say. Business will not be
duller. Mills and manufactures
will not shut down faster because the
Democratic party will soon be in
power. There is a possibility, and
quite probable at that, that business
will become more active throughout
the country. Can il be possible that
there will be general stagnation in
all the industrial circles? No, il
cannot be any worse than now.
There are thousands of honest labor
ers idle at this date, and the coun-
try is over ridden with that class
that seems to have no aim in life
and no object ahead-the tramp
From whence these fellows came, We
speak not, but let us trust that thei
wanderings may cease. Labor vii
not be cheaper, with all the cry o
free trade. Wages can not be re
duced lower than at present, or els
men will die of starvation in Ger
tain localities. Therefore, Pepubli
cans and Democrats be of goo'
cheer for this change in the admin
istration of governmental affairs vii
work great reform, and "the desei
places will blossom as the rose"

GOV. IRELAND OF TEXAS.
A Warrant for his Arrest Defective and
Not Executed.

AUSTIN, Tex, Aug. %.
United States Marshall Tracy arrived in
this city Yesterday and entered the governors 5
Office to arrest Gov. Ireland under a warrant
issued IN the Francois mise genstion case
Marshall Tracy presented his warrant and
said he regretted being compelled to perform
such an official duty to arrest the Governor
of Texas. Governor Ireland said he would
always cheerfullv submit to charges on facts
and would answer them in court, but con
sidered that the marshall of the eastern
district of Texas had no authority to serve
warrant here, outside of his district, and
that the proceedings at Galveston were with
out shadow of fact, upon which to base a
case.
This being so, while he would offer no
assistance to the writ and would answer as
any citizen should, he would hold Tracy and
Others who had intrusted themselves in the
matter responsible for their conduct. Marshall
Tracy left the executive office and after con-
sulting with the L. s Dist Atty. Evans,
returned and informed the governor that he
would not execute the writ, stating that Juige
Evans in answer 10 a written question bearing
on the case had furnished a written opinion
declaring that Tracy, as L. s. marshall of
the eastern district of Texas, had no suthority
to arrest a citizen, resident and found in the
western district under a writ issued by the
L. 5. commissioner for the eastern district
except in special cases and that the charge of
violating sec. $50 of the revised statutes of
the United States is not a special case. 1t
is understood that Judge Evans advises
thaa the proceedings by Francois be dis
missed

NORTH ATLANTIC SQUADRON.
Experiments Practiced m Presence Of
President Arthur.
Very respectfully yours,
It. A. HENDRICKS.

NEWPORT, r. /, Aug. 81.
The naval review and torpedo experiment
by the North Atlantic squadron in the pres
ence of the president and secretary Of the
navy today proved a magnificent success.
The exercises took place at the extreme north
end of COnanicut Island. At IL A. NJ, the
Despatch with President Arthur and the
Albatross with Secretary Chandler got under
wav. On the former were Attorney General
and Mrs. Brewster. Miss Frelinghuysen and
several others. On the latter were senators
Hawlev. Miller. Butler and Aldrich and a
party Of distinguished gentlemen and ladies'
When the secretary arrived up the bay the
squadron passed in review. As a column Of
ships passing to the southwest they turned
eastward and once more proceeding to the
north came into line and approached the ves-
sells on which we're the president and secre-
tary. The movements excited much admir-
alton. The squadron then proceed to torpedo
practice, passing in column to the southw ard
and exploding torpedoes on the starboard
side and after steaming away around Gould
Island came up and exploded those on the
port side. Buoys made of light barrels were
placed between the squadron and Despatch
and Albatross so that the explosions which
we're successful were in full view of all on
board.

SPRINGFIELD. Mass, Aug. 27.
The reports of the New England Homestead
from 200 hcp-growing towns in New York,
Maine and the Province of Quebec indicate
that the crop is at least one-fourth short of
an average. This is believed TO be an under
estimate if anything. The averages for each
State are as follows Maine IS, Vermont 80,
Quebec 20, New York 75.
Buyers have been prospecting here and
they are offering % TO 80 cents a pound
Growers, however, are generally confident of
higher prices and are disposed to hold for 3j
to so cents. The prospects are that this will
be the case in New York where 40 and even
so cents has been offered in few instances
and where growers are well posted. Old
crops are pretty much out of the growers
hands. The new crop is of an extraordinary
fine quality. lice, wind and rust having done
