When Cleveland was elected president the democratic party was jubilanf. From all parts of the union there were shouts of rejoicing that after twenty-five years the democrats were restored to power. The united and harmonious democracy was to do great things for the people; government affairs were to move on like clock work, and there was to be peace and good-feliowship as the distribution cf offices went on. All affirmed that reform was necessary" and that the right men were to be put Tn the right places. These pleasant dreams, however, were but of shor, duration. Anon
 the earlier appointments were some that the wiser and more experienced leaders did not see fit to be made. Old wheel horses, men who had grown old in serv- ing the party, were showed aside for dudes of inexperience, lacking capacity to i'll the positions for which they were named. And so dissatisfaction com menced, and disafection has been growing from the day the president entered the White House until the present time.-Albuquerque Journal

New Orleans, February GA duel took place in the suburbs of Plaquemine this s.ate, this morning between William Smith and Ben Anselm. two very promi, nent yourg men in Plaquemine society, both of excellent families, Tn which the former was seriously wounded. The difficulty arose our of the breaking of of the engagement between Smith and Miss Marie Anselm, sister of the other principal in the duel The two young people had been engaged for some time, and were very devoted to each other. A recent affair, however, greatly to the discredit of Smith, induced the parents of the young lady to break of ,be engage ment. Smith revenged himself by speaking against the young lady. Her brother came 10 her rescue, and the two principals met in the neighborhood of Plaquemine Revolvers of thirty-two cahber were used, and four shots were fired. Smith received three wounds, enc in the frontal bone, one in the forearm and above the right kidney. Young Anselm, who was unhurt, i'm mediaiely surrendered to the author ifies

According 10 the signal service all of the cold waves traced out appeared first at Helena, NJ. T. except five, which five were felt at Bismarck, D. T., before being felt at Helena They have their origin in the vast regions of ice and snow near the Arctic circle, far to the Forth of the observing stations. It often happens that a cold wave sets in from the extreme northwest, and upon reach ing the Mississippi valley divides, part going northeast 10 the lower lake region, and the other part southward to the gulf states; in either case the intensity ap- pears to be greatly diminished. This action seems generally to be due to the sudden development of storm some where in the Missouri valley. Another frequent feature is that after a cold wave commences the temperature continues to fall in the northwest, and another wave IS for me ely distinct from the first from which it becomes separated by a warm wave; the warm wave IS only 2 narrow belt. but the cold waves are per fectly distinct.

stree. Car. .. s.,,..

There IS a lawyer in Boston who is D. the habit at times of addressing individi ual jurymen when inattentIye or restless, and sometimes his argumentum ad hon. inem is effective. Some time ago he was trying a case against street railway company, and there was an old sailor on the jury who seemed to give no heed to what either counsel said. The lawyer made his most eloquent appeals, but all in vain. Finally he stepped in front of the sailor and said: "Mr. Juryman, 1 will tell you just how this happened. The plalnt3 was in command of the outward bound open car and stood in her star board channels. Along came the in- ward bound close car, and just as their bows met she jumped the track, sheered to port and knocked the plaintiff of and run over him." The sailor was all atten- ton after this version of the affair and joined in $500 verdict for fhe injured man.-DeIoit Free Press.

BOUND ID RAVE ECONOMY.

It is unofficially whispered, but on what is apparently good authority, that United States Marshal Meade has gone south to secure an additional bond, as result of the recent overhauling of his accounts by Special Agent Fisher. A large amount of the MarahaPs accounts for expenses of United States court have been suspended, it is alleged, in Wash ington, hence an additional bond IS re- quired of him. IL is no secret among all who have watched the proceedings of the court here that the expense has been greater than at any other term of court held in Prescott for years, and in fact there probably was never term of court held for which the expenses footed up such an enormous sum. The exact fig- ures are not at our command, but the appropriation usually required for two terms, it is safe to s,y, has been absorbed at this term Not only this, but the United States has practically nothing to show for it. The government IS usually liberal in the administration of the de- partment of justice, and stops not at expense in the punishment of the viola' tors of the law. But when an unusually large amount of money IS expended and only one criminal conviction entered up IS an offset 10 Il, an investigation IS bu, natural consequence. The additional expense of United States courts. 1t would seem, IS no; confined 10 Arizona alone, as the attorney general has called for an additional appropriation of Ssoo,o 900 for the payment of witnesses and jurors. Ii must not be forgotten, however, notwith- standing the increased appropriations, which are called for by nearly every de- partmen; of government, that this IS reform administrator, and that the au thorities are determined to have an eco nomical and reformed administration, If they have to exhaust the last dollar in the United States treasury 10 bring il about.

DENENT IN A BOX.

A recent telegram from Washington says that:
 Surveyor General Dement,, having gone before the committee on public lands yesterday, and entered a general denial oi the reports of frauds. attributed to him. three correspondents joined Tn a note to the ecmmll;ee, asking to be allowed ,o subs;an,Ia,e the truth of dis patches they have published about him- They ask the privilege of proving that Dement, had made the statements attrib- u.ed 10 him. and they will be gwen an opportunity tomorrow. One of the cor respondents claims to have preserved the notes of his interview with Dement,, and claims they were written on paper furnished by Dement,.
 Surveyor General Dement, of Utah, was examined by the senate committee on public lands, with reference 10 recent publications which embodied alleged ut!eranoes of bis, duplicating senators, members of congress and high executive officials in Washington and Utah in extensive conspiracies to infu- ence by their bribery legislation affecting Mormons. Dement, denied the state laents attributed to him without reserya- ton"
 The f.cl of the whole business IS that it has been discovered that frauds reported by Dement, implicated prom inent democrats and that the surveyor general was compelled by the powers that Dc fo make the above denial and place himself before the people of the United States in the position of a self convicted falsi6er. Another feature of Dement'S first statements, too IS that the exposure of frauds against the Mormorsl IS ia violation oi the secret understand irg existing between the moneyed po~- s of the Mormon church andtheyena- and corrupt leaders of the democratic party. Dement, wili hereafter consult with demo5ratic bosses before making any rash statements.

Lieuienat Governor Ken nedy, the presiding officer of the Senate has decided that the four Democrats from Hamilton County whose seats are in contest, cannot vote OF questions relating to the oontest. The Democrats, to prevent an investigation in open Sen- ate, put forward the absurd claim that Hamilton County members may si, in judgement on their own cases. ?. The Republicans are making fight for the investigation of the Hamilton County frauds in open Senate, where advantage can be taken of no one, and where the truth must come out. The Democrats are fighting to prevent this, not to save the Hamilton County Senators, but to save their party from exposure.

lBoun to Have Pie.

Jesse Wood tells a good story of a farmer whom he saw a, the breakfas, table one morning in the leading hotel a, Nashville.
 When the waiter handed the rustic the bill of fare, he glanced over it, and remarked:
 Johnny, just bring 'em all in. I'm gosh durned hungry, and just got in Nashville"
 The waiter grinned, and after being gene for few minutes returned with dishes that made great semi-circle around the strangers plate. He counted them all over, and then with a doubtful look remarked:
 Look here, waiter. l don't see any pie, and I'm mighty fond of pie, ,oo."
 "say, mister, we don't set no pie for breakfast at this hotel Only have pie for dinner"
 The country gentleman, with look of disgust, turned to Mir. Wood, and said:
 "Neighbor, this a-of hotel"
 "Why?"
 'Two dollars day, and no pie"
 Doc Bamford, clerk at the Burnet House, tells similar story of man who once stopped at the Fremont House, in Chicago. He braced up 10 the hctel counter ard greeted the clerk with:
 Before 1 register at this hotel 1 want il understood that 1 must have pie for supper"
 Well, sir, you can have pie if we have to order extra pies made"

THE IDEAL LIFE.
iCOMMUNICATED.
 ADRE4.

Strive for intellectually
 As they beacon star Of light; Gained through the power of men, tality,
 To be thy buckler of might, To dwell on the imaginary, unreal fancifuI or visionary, is to draw upon the ideal We, all al times, dwell in the beattitude of this reyene, which is bot iomless and shoreless, making it, ''for the time" living, expanding and progress ing thing, with the powerful radiation oi of the Divine.
 The ideal life, then should be the life of love, which is lodged immense and obscure under the depths of human life, even supporting its basis and lowermost foundations. The family should rest upon love, and society upon the family, placing love in advance of everything. then we can seek the ideal; the ideal which can be realized to-day, without postponing it for better state Of society.
 one phrase resounds always the same along the scale of life, whether We go up, or down, single phrase; ''l wish for something beyond myself" l wish for too much-all, and always.
 So the ideal ascends, and always VIII ascend, without reaching its summit. It would have nothing, that IS not absolute y endless, without margin or limit II has profound instinct, desiring itself in its ascendency, penetrating itself with light, like love eternal, until darkness closes around ii, ard it disappears.
 Imagination cannot be termed rea- sonins power, but pertains to reflex per = cep,ion, or mental exercise, auxiliary 10 il. Through this faculty we see through the mental eye, and are continually vearning after things of beauty and shapes of grace, not content with what we have, but picturing to ourselves things brighter and more glowing than our vision can comprehend, fancying worlds within worlds, and all celestial. Never underra,e this power, but educate it with might, to work for good, as a standard element in human happiness.

Too Realistic.

Among others who saw the Gold King" al the Park Theatre last night was young man of fair complexion, blue eyed and neatly dressed, who, after taking several glasses of wine at the bar, went up stairs and took the right pros cenium box. In the play, toward the close of the second act is the cue for Hector, the New Foundland dog, to spring from behind the scenes upon w. T. Thompson, the villain of the play, and apparently choke him to death as the curtain goes down. Accordingly, at the appointed time. a large, dark object was seen to launch itself forward and settle with growl upon the shoulder of the villain. The two fell to the stage, and the seeming struggle with death began. Just at this moment the young man in the prosoenium box leaned for ward out Of the box and pointing a pistol toward the man and dog, not twenty feet away, fired. The audience rose as one man and made a rush for the street. They thought tragedy was being enacted. The young man dashed out or the box and ran down stairs. A moment later he was collared. Search revealed the pistol, a thirty-eight calibre. In explanation of the shooting he said that he thought that the dog was killing the man, and he wanted to save the latter. He was put behind the bars. The bnllet, which lodged in the scenery could not have missed Mir. Thompson by ov>r a foot Banner.
