The Cincinnati Comm ercidl- Ga
@ette, a republican paper, says that
''Hoadly was with the Republicans
until 1876. Since that time he has
been with the Democrats. That
is all right. 1t is not disqualif-
cation for office to have once been a
Republican, nor will sensible Repub-
licans think it disqualification
that he is now q Democrat. A wise
man changes his opinion when he
discovers that he is in error, but a
fool never changes.

Mayor of Pittsburg, is dead.
A charter for the St. George
Academy has been obtained.
Mrs. Annie, wife of ex-Congress-
man w. Z. English, of Indian
apolis, died Monday.
There seems to be general bet
ter feeling among iron manufacture
ers concerning the outlook for the
fall trade.
Many people seem to be fonder
of hesitating between the old and
the revised versions of the Scrip
lures than they are of adopting
either.
Pittsburgh is to have a dog show.
1t will be held September 2oth and
goth and October Ist. Among the
attractions will be a mastiff that
cost its owner 81, 900.
A Newark, Ohio, woman has
eloped with Wang Poo. China
man who has been running a laun-
dry in that town. They are ex-
pected to return as Mr.. and Mrs.
Poo.
The Baltimore Sm is authority
for the statement that out of the
perpetrators of 1857 murderers,
2Io were lynched and Io3 were
executed. The others escaped the
death penalty.
The issue of standard silver dol
lars from the minis during the
week which ended August 18th
was $50, 46I. The issue during
the corresponding period last year
was S29S, 9oS.
1t seems that although James
A Garfield has been dead for four
years his grave is still guarded by
troops. Nobody, it is said, has
ever been guarded SO long by sol
diers after burial.
1t is reported that the Pittsburg
and Castle Shannon road will lay
track on the abandoned Pittsburgh
Southern grading and then build
six miles of track from Finleyville to
Monongahela City. The merchants

the six miles.
The Patrons of Husbandry OF

In Aleppo Township, Greene
county, Pa, an eight year old boy
was burned by the explosion of
kerosene oil which he was using in
kendling the fire. He was a son
of Mr.. David Bosworth, and Mrs.
Bosworth, the mother Of the boy
was SO shocked by the occurrence
that fears are entertained that she
will not recover.
Engineer Menocal, who was sent
out BY the last Administration to
examine and report on the Panama
Canal project, makes a report which
pronounces the canal a monstrous
failure, both in respect to the fnan-
cial and engineering problems. 1t
did not require the report of an
engineer to open the eyes of the
people to the fact that the Panama
Canal is a humbug.
Rev. T. De Witt Talmage, the
celebrated Brooklyn Divine, preach
ed on the 10th Of August to 20, 900
people at John Wesley's old church,
the City Road Chapel, in London.
1t is said that the throng of people
moving towards the church just
before the hour for service was SO
great that access to the house was
gained with great difficulty, And
that after preaching in the church
the desire to hear the great Amer
lean divine manifested itself in such
unmistakable enthusiasm that he
was compelled to deliver his dis
course in the open air.

TO the Editor OF the NEW DOMINION:
Our friend, observer" and he
ought to give true account of his
observations, says, ''money is scarce,
labor is cheap, nothing to do, so much
for old Democratic days. Ofcourse
there is nothing to do for those who
do nothing but complain. We have
not time nor space to argue with him,
yet we will ask him a question; What
caused the financial disturbances Of
1923? Were those what he terms
good old Democratic days?

Cleveland's conservative course
appears to have riled the spoils ele-
ment Of the Brooklyn Democracy
another first-class recommendation
of the Presidents policy.-Times
Star Rep) Mr.. Cleveland's policy
needs no recommendation Itspeaks
for itself. But the wriggling of Re
publican journals is amusing. AT
once they affect great satisfaction at
his conservatism at another they
propose great wrath at his merciless
inroads on radical office holders and
and at other times you cant tell what
they really are saying or thinking
about him. The joke of the whole
matter is that Mr. Cleveland is Civ
ing excellent satisfaction to the mas
ses of the people and it makes but
little difference whether radical
journals are satisfied or not.

A narrow minded correspondent
of the New York World writes to say
that Fitzhugh Lee and John S. Wise
were both rebels during the war and
both ought to be hanged, drawn and
quartered. The World in comment
ing on the subject says: ''The two
candidates for Governor in Virginia
were Confederate soldiers. In that
particular they are probably equal.
Gen. Lee is the more deserving can
didate, because he represents all
that is honorable in the politics of
the State. Wise is the representa-
tive of Mahoneism and Readjuster-
ism. The one stands for integrity
and the other for the discredit of the
State. Neither of these gentlemen
deserves to be hanged, drawn or
quartered for what he did in the re-
bellion--at least Gen. Grant didn't
think so--but Gen. Lee deserves to
be elected Governor and he undoubt-
edly will be-"

One thing is certain and that is
the business Democrats of New Yor k
are pleased with the methods of Pres
ident Cleveland Hon. Roswell P.
Flower says: "There can be no
doubt of the emphatic endorsement
of the administration by the State
Convention. 1t has commended it
self by it's thorough business-like
methods. 1t has simplified govern
ment and thereby reduced expenses.
Instead of the cumbrous, multiform,
extravaganza system which has so
long prevailed, Mr.. Cleveland has
successfully established simpler,
honester and more practical mode of
conducting the Government. Ac-
tions are more eloquent than words"

The following resolutions were passed in

WHEREAS, Our most worthy and esteemed

eating bis sentence, Cannon declined %

The Continued Uncertainty Greatly Re

The Continued Uncertainty Greatly Re-
strieting the Amount of Trading.
LONDON, May 9.-The continued un-
certainty of the political aspect tends to
restrict the amount of business done on
the Stock Exchange. with the result that
each small transaction exercises des-
perate effect on prices. Great anxiety is
felt about the result of the vote of credit
which will come up in the House of Com
mons Monday, although it is unlikely that
the result will be adverse to the Ministry,
especially if Lord Harrington's statement
of the SOudan policy proves satisfac-
tory to the Liberals. The current
rumOTs Of the resignation of Earl
Dutferin arise from the inference
that he disagrees with the governments
policy, and the fact that Earl Dufferin
accepted his position with the under
standing that he was to take full re-
sponsiblity Of the government in India.
1t is rumored that Russian dispatches by
courier differ somewhat from the sum
mary first received by telegraph, but il is
expected that the discrepancies of the
statements can easily be rec0nciled. 1t
is estimated that almost half Of the vote
Of credit has already been absorbed in
war preparations so far ordered, which
are now too far advanced to be rescinded.
The work Of equipment for the SOudan,
however, has almost ceased, the greatest
efforts being directed TO naval armaments.
