WARNING TO CANDIDATES.
Peck's bad boy has analyzed the
situation aud gives a few pointers
to candidates in the burst of conf
dence with which he, deluges the
groeeryman. The moral painted
in. this tale is that candidates for
public preferment should maintain
a conservative front:
"Well, pa has got it bad, but he
is too numerous. He has been
yearning for two years for a politi-
cal campaign to open. | don't sup
pose there is citizen who enjoys
politics as much as pa. He stays
out nights till the last place is clio
sed, and is the first man on deck in
the morning. He has drank with
more candidates, more different
times than anybody, and when he
is so, full that he can't drink he
takes cigar, and brings it home.
His guests have been smoking up
old. efention cigars ever since the
Hancock campaign, and some of
them are awful. But this time thew
are going to run pa for alderman,
and he has opened the campaign
with corkscrew.- Pa thinks the
position of alderman is greater than
Governor, because aldermen wear a
badge, and have influence. But pa
is OVERRIDING the thing lie wants
to please everybody, and has prom
ised to put 81 men on the police
force, has promised A men the po
sition of bridge tender, and there is
only one bridge in his ward. He
promises the saloon keepers to re-
duce the price of licenses, and allow
them to keep open all night, and he
has promised the prohibition tempe
rance people to raise saloon licenses
to $1,000 and close every saloon in
town. The result is going to be if
pa is not elected he will kill him
self, and if he is elected the people
will kill him, so somebody has got
to save pa"

REPORTS FROM OHIO.

Capt. Godfather took refuge in 8
bridge over City Creek, near Xenia
O., yesterday during the storm

the cyclone, his horse killed and his
buggy demolished, but Capt. God.
father escaped by swimming ashore.
At Ripley, O., a fierce wind storm
unroofed many houses, yesterday
evening, and INSTRUCTED the roads

Polandtownship, Mahoning coun-
ty, was visited by the cyclone last
night, its path being 10 rods wide
and extending 2 miles north and
south. Several residences, barns

Petersburg, Va, March ga
tremendous thunderstorm burst over

night. The rain poured down in
torrents and the thunder shook the
houses severely. The Appomattox
River at this point is very high and
the meadows on the Chesterfield
side of the river are submerged.
The water is still rising. A pro-
tracted spell of bad weather this
month has greatly retarded all farm
ing operations in this section.
A Lynchburg dispatch says that
a terrific wind and rain storm swept
over that section last night, causing
great damage to property. In Am
herst county the low lands were all
submerged, and the fencing, bridges
and mildams were swept away.

great damage to fruits and blowing
down many houses.

THE JUDICIAL MIDDLE AGAIN
shreveport Times.)

Shreveport Times.)
The Monroe Bulletin has this to
say of the complication that has
arisen in the LIST and 18th Judicial
Districts. We conceive that our
contemporary is mistaken in saying
the law creating an additional
Judge in this District was uncon-
stitutional. The complication arises
from the fact that an election was
held under the law two years ago,
whereas, if the election of the addi-
tional Judge had been deferred I'M
til the general election in April,
1884, it is evident there would have
been no middle in the matter. The
Governor was, at the time, in some
doubt as to the proprietp of order
ing an election prior to 1884, but
we presume concluded it best to do
so and have the question to be set
tied by the courts. The act crea-
ting an additional Judge in the
18th District was drawn differently,
and provided for election immedi-
ately after its PRONUNCIATION -
''In 1882 the Legislature passed
two acts, creating an additional
Judge in each of the LIST and 18th
Districts. 1t seems that the laws
were very improvidently drawn up,
and grave questions have arisen as
to the constitutionality of the acts
in the first place, and in the second,
as to their Interpretation. Judge
Blackman in the 18th and Judg e
Jones in the LIST Districts were cleo
ted in 1882, under the provisions of
these acts. They claim that they
were elected for four years under
the constitutional provision, and
that it a successor to- themselves is
provided for in, the acts, which is
also disputed, that he can qualify
only upon the expiration of their
terms of office, namely, in 1885,
The Attorney General holds that
the offices are legislative creations,
are limited as to the terms of the
present incumbents, to the general
election, at which time the offices
themselves expire, as no provision
is made for electing successors
The Governor has issued a procla-
nation for the election Of successors
to these Judges, and, undoubtedly,
their successors will be chosen
Admitting the constitutionality of
The acts, we shall still have three
,ornered fight, and a middle eff ju-
ticial affairs in the Districts con-
,erned, that holds out anything but
! pleasant prospect for prompt adj
of justice"
