The Congo State.

PARIS, August S.-The Nation says
thlt persons entering the service OF the
Congo State are obliged to sign an
agreement to maintain strict silence re-
garding the state of affairs in that coun-
try. The hostility of the natives pre-
vents stores from reaching their desti-
nation. The climate is deadly and
there is only one doctor in the territory,
300 by 600 miles in extent.

Mr.. GEORGE w. CHILDs, proprietor OF
the Philadelphia Ledger, and General
Grants most intimate friend, makes an
interesting statement and one which
will add credit to the character of the
dead General in that it will go far to-
wards removing the blemish of Cesar
ism, " which has been made to attach to
Grant. Mr.. Childs says the third term
movement was from the first against the
judgment and desires of the General.
and that those who were pushing it
were well aware of the fact. Shortly
after the return of General Grant from
his foreign trip, he and Childs met and
thoroughly discussed the matter in all
It's aspects, the result of the conference
being that the General should write
letter to Mr.. Childs, saying he was NOT
a candidate for the third nomination
and declaring that he could not accept
the nomination If it were rendered. Be
fore the lester was put into writing,
however, the third term movement was
SO thoroughly organized, and its leaders
We're SO wholly committed to it. that
their solicitations dissuaded Grant. and
he allowed them to go ahead. The let
ter declining was never written. but
those who supported the movement
never had an intimation from General
Grant that he would accept the nomi
nation if the convention offered it; on
the contrary, they were to the last ap-
prehensive that declination would fol-
low a nomination.

ALLEGED ELECTION FRAUDS.


There are ugly stories that are being
told of the way in which the election
was conductor in Park City. and what
is worse for certain parties, they are
told apparently without malice, and
solely for TIE purpose of calling atten-
ton to grievous Wrong-doing. If. it is
tree as represented, that frauds were
perpetrated at the polls, no good can
GENE from them to those who have
been guilty of the crime, and the party
that sanctions and approves the wrong
will assurediy come to grief. The HER
AID does not like to charge fraud against
those WHO had control of the election
machinery at the Park until it has better
evidence of crookedness than has yet
been obtained. though we must confess
that appearances are against the election
having been conducted honestly. The
indications and allegations of crooked
ness are so pointed that the matter
should be locked into. and if guilt is
discovered, punishment be inflicted.
Election frauds are so rare in this Ter
ritory that the suggestion that they
have been practiced is somewhat start
ling. Whether or not there is any
thing in the Park City charges, the fact
that crookedness is alleged and |
how the fraud was committed specific
ally pointed out, shows there is defect |.
in the law which should be remedied as
as possible. With honest, efficient
registration officers and faithful election
judges, there would be no occasion for
changing the law in any particular, but
as officers do not always perform their
duties faithfully, and as they are not
always honest, the hole through which
the Park City frauds-if there have been
frauds-were committed, should be
plugged. The Election act requires
the registration officer to annually visit
every dwelling house in each precinct,
and make careful inquiry if any person,
whose name is on the list has died or
from the precinct, or is other
wise disqualified as a voter of such pre- u
cinct, and if so, to erase the same there. j
.ro m" The registrars may, or may d
not make the careful inquiry, and they
may or may not, as they please, erase a
The names of those who have died, re-
moved or otherwise been disqualified as I
voters. 1t is said that the lists are car
rying the names of dead men, of men o
not IN the Territory, and of persons II
who are registered in more than one a
precinct. The allegation is that the a
Park. City lists contain the names of U
many persons who have left the pre- II
met, and of others who have left the II
world, and that the names of these dis 81

A New EnterprLse.

W. SPRINGER x Co., Proprietors of the
Patent Medicine Depot 3l5 Shipley street
are doing a thriving business. This store
was opened July 1st by Mr.. Barker who
was formerly identified with the drug inter
est in the lower part of this State and was
well known to many of our business men.
Some two months ago Mr.. William Springer
associated himself with Mr., Barker aud un-
der the firm name of Wm.Sprlnger & Co.
the business is now conducted.
This firm was the first to cut the price OF
all patent medicines and although it was
considered a hazardous move yet the firm
that inaugurated the cut have realized hand

Just within the cool shadows of the Ennis

'Ive lost himr' sobbed Ruby, clasping
her hands lespairingly. He's gonel"
A sudden chill seemed to gripe poor
Harry's heart Had she then loved his riv-

''And it's all my own fault, too" contin-
ued Ruby, with fresh burst of tears.
''Uucle warned me how it wonld be. He
warned me against having anything to do
with him. But would have my own way.
And now l am rightly punished. He's
gone Jerry has run away!"
"Ruby for heavens sake do not speak
thus!" said poor Harry.
''But can't help it," walled Ruby.
"Dd you then love him so well?T bitterly
demanded the young man.
"Didn't care a snap about himW cried
Ruby. ''But uncle told me to let him alone,

"Has he?" said Ruby, apparently very
little interested in this secondary piece of
information. "Well am not at all surpris-
ed. Ialways wondered where he got the
money to pay for SO mu1h jewelry. I'm
sorry for his poor mother, though. Are you
quite sure that Jerry is safe, Mr.. Satlord?"

"But wasn't going With him." said
Ruby. "He asked me, an | said no. -

"With no body at all, F" said Ruby, with a
charming pout. "Nobody has asked me. "

Uncle Ennis was doing over the weekly
paper-he had read it twice through already,
but he seems always to regard himself as de-

with Harry Stafford, cadind the red Irish
setter by its chain.

RubY's Visit.

'Iet her come to the farm" said old Mr..
Ennis. "She'n enjoy the blue-bells and the
peach orchards, and the white clover bios
soming along the roadside. 1t will be a
great deal cheaper than Newport and more
sensible than Cape May"
''Oh, papa, do lot me gon' said Ruby,
clasping her pink fingers ecstatically togeth-
er. "Mamma, says yes"
A year ago. Mr.. and Mrs. Alden Archer
would have considered this sort Of thing as
nothing more nor less than Punishment.
The Misses Archer had never been anywhere
else than at Saratoga, Long Branch, and
Atlantic City But times were altered now.
The Financial pressure" whatever that
might be- had acted very unpleasantly on
the atmosphere of the Archer household.
Euphelia, the eldest daughter, hab just dis
covered that Fontenoy Favrier, to whom
she had engaged herself, was not next heir
to an English boronetcy, at all, but de-
faulting clerk from Threadneedle Streat,
with half dozen detectives after him; and
Alicia, the second blossom Of the family-tree,
had been unceremoniously deserted by Mr.
Dallas, of the Polo Club.
"If girl-aw-hasn't got money, you
know-aw," said Mr., Dallas, ''there's no
use-aw-in keeping up the thing. We
amt like wavens nowadays, to be fed by
aw-the prophets. We must-aw-have
cash."
'But, mamma" pleaded Ruby, ''you said
was to come out this winter"
"Child, don't be absurd" said Mrs Arch

society, if Euphy and Allie were married,
but they're not; and I can't go into the ball

ers. What would people say?"
at isn't my fault that they are not mar
ried," pouted Ruby, "and am so tired of
the nursery. Mamma, can't go to Atlant-
ic City with you?"
Certainly not!' said Mrs. Archer.
"And mind, Sabina, if any one asks you
how old you are, you must say sixteen"
Why" cried Ruby, with open brown eyes
of astonishment. 'But l was seventeen

''There are the girls to cons ioer," said
Mr.. Archer, sorrowfnlly.
GLOW are they to be bettered by my tell
ing lies about my age? retorted Ruby.
And then her mother told her to hold bor
tongue and not speak again until she was
spoken to.
So that Uncle Ennis offer was truly vel
come when it came, and merry little Ruby
was like a lamb let loose upon the hills that
slope down the blue sides of the majestic
Connecticut River.
N ,She tore her dimpled brown fingers with
blackberry-b she rifled birdsnests for
addition to her collection of eggs; she romp-
ed like child, whisted like boy until all
of sudden she was recalled to the facts of
real life.
She had come in from the blackberry
fields all sunbrowned and happy her cherry
lils stained with the burple dyes of the fruit,
