IT Is possible for the republicans Of
this congressional district to elect a rep
resentative to congress who will figure
/ little more advantageOusly to the in
terests OF his constituents that pOdle
Sayers has done. The wool growers,
buyers and merchants Of this whole Sec
ton have again and again expressed
| their desire for a restoration OF the wool
tariff of 1867. This desire has been eX-
pressed In fOrcible terms to the late mis-
representative Of this district, who, re-
ceived the same, and going into the rep
resentatIve chamber voted to reduce the
tariff on wool. This man comes home
and his course In congress Is endorsed
by his wool growing democrat cOnstitu-
ents. This is democratic consistency,
and by this means tariff reforms are
constituted. The first thing to be done
in this case is to reform Jodie by elect
ing him to stay at home and thus teach
him that the interests OF the people are
Of more account than the reelection OF
free trade democrat from wool dis
trict.
The Associated Press has sent to the
Charleston 5. c. News and Courier
check for $500 to be divided among the
reporters who stood to their work and
collected the material for the wired re-
port which WAS published the next
morning. No war correspondents on
any battlefield displayed any greater
courage or truer pluck than did the
Charleston reporters on that night of
terrors, and the act of the Press assOCia-
tion as recognition Of that fact is time
ly.
CAN the editor of the Evening Paper
show any good grounds for advocating
a straight republican congressional and
senatorial nomination that do not apply
in nominating a legislative ticket? Tn
less he splits his county ticket and goes
democratic with one side Of his face and
republican with the other how is he GO
ing to vote fusion and yet vote for re-
publican members of the legislature?
This going straight across the crooked
lane and all around the square in poll
tics is not what it is cracked up to be.
The sanitary measures for the proven
ton of the cholera epidemic spreading
beyond the borders of Italy have been
most complete. TO this fact alone is
owing the confinement of the dread
disease to so small a locality. In the
circuit to which its ravages have been
limited the mortality has been very
great. Out Of a total OF $4,000 cases
one third of that number, or over 1900,
have died, Notwithstanding the most de-
voted and heroic efforts of medical
science to arrest the disease and relieve
the victims.

The Express does not do justice to
the motives Of those who advocate
straight ticket, either among the repub-
lioans or the democrats, when he attri-
butes that movement to desire to
"down" some particular candidate. The
design Of the advocates Of a straight re-
publican nomination is to put the repub-
lican party in the field fully equipped to
battle the free trade democracy at all
points, and compel them to put better
men in the field than the republicans
nominate or get whipped at the polls.
The straight republicans have no pet
candidates to put forth; no republicans
that they desire to defeat. Their object
FIRST, last and all the time, is to act as
republicans, work as republicans, vote
as republicans. whip or be whipped as
republicans, and forever end this fusion
In politics which accomplishes no good
end and only serves the purposes of
political disorganization.

SIR MICHAEL Hicks BEACH was put
through a course of sweating in the
house OF commons by Mr.. Sexton re-
Gently, who took occasion to inquire
concerning the Belfast situation and as
to the disposition of the government
under certain conditions to assist those
who had suffered through the late riots.
The gist Of the replies, which created
profound sensation in the house, were
to the effect that no aid would be given
the hospital, which had spent GSOO in
caring for the injured, but that aid had
been given a landlord who had been
hurt. Simmered down, the reply meant
aid to the rich, but not to the poor.

little expense by using a desirable
shade of red plush, say purplish red,
and ornamenting with spray of mag
nOlias. The screen should be
large enough to admit of the
flowers and foliage, being as near the
natural size as possible, showing at
lOast one full bloom and two or three
buds of different degrees of develop
ment, with a number of the dark, rich
waxy leaves. The design, however,
should not be so large as to give
cramped appearance, and less than
eight inches margin will give that ef-

production, and here it is:
ELLA Wheeler's latest poem is The
Room Beneath the Rafters,' In which
she declares she saw the hornet come
forth from his mud walled hanging
house. We do not intend to criticise
Mrs: WilcOx's poetry, but when she
calls a mud wasp hornet, we kick.
A hornets nest, Ella, is made of
homespun paper, and is built around
26S, 900 hexagonal holes, there being,
when the nest is in executive session,
about 500 hornets to the hole. The
nest grows, in a good season, to the
size of bushel and half measure.
Moreover, people do not 'lie in a trun-
die bed and watch the hornets play,
as you say you did. All, no, when
they happen to come Unexpectedly
upon a hornet at play, they turn
and fly, or would fly, if they
could trade off their boots for pair
OF wings, The chief industry among
the hornets is the manufacturer of
probes and bodkins. Hamlet speaks
of making his quietus, with bare
bodkin." Now, when a man takes
about three-quarters Of an inch of a
hornets bOkkin, is doesn't make his
quietus. Land no; it makes him
jump and holler until you can hear
him a mild, mild and half, or two
milds;"
Ella probably didn't like the COM
ment, but it shows how often poets,
and also pOetesses, strain after some
thing which when published may
sound pOetical but lack common
sense. | shall try to discover some
thing suitable for Christmas in the
"rag.bag" for next week and in the
meantime am yours DOLLY.

The HigIiwaymep.

Although every effort was put forth
by the police force yesterday to over
haul the two coons, who held up old
man Beach Friday night, the vicious
crooks managed to escape them. A
large force were out all night scouring
the woods in search of them, but
failed to find them. 1t was learned.
however, that the miscreants had
encamped west of Muddy Greek
bridge, where they made several
attempts to board west-bOund trains,
but failed to do so. At Lamonte
Constable Rogers turned out with a
large posse and searched the country
and all passing trains, but without
success. Yesterday, however, it was
reported that they had been seen four
miles south of Lamonte headed west,
and another posse was sent out in that
direction.
The fact has leaked out that the
desperadOes are the same who, some
days ago, slugged and robbed Mr.
Bischel, the jeweler, in this city, after
which they disappeared until Friday
night, when they again showed up in
their great sensational role. They are
of the worst character and
every community should be on the
lookout for them and arrest them on
sight or kill them.
One is a large, powerful mulatto
about 80 years old, six foot high, and
heavy built. The other is medium
sized mulatto, about the same age.
The city marshal, of Sedalia, is very
anxious to hear from them.

Burglars Bagged.

Officers James Gossage and Barnett
yesterday made clever capture of a
agang of black burglars consisting of
Tony Grant, and Alfred and George
Walters.
For some time past petty depreda.
tons have been going ON in various
localities, and petty thieving from
store fronts has grown 10 be a common
occurrence. In spite of the most care
full watching a clue has been hard to
find. Suspicion, however, has for
sometime centered upon Grant, who
is not only sprung from a bad family
but has long been noted as one of the
worst criminals in the country, having
already served two terms in the peni-
tertiary, one for the murder of a
policeman in Kansas City, and one
Tor burglary in Sedalia. Officers
Gossage and Barnett have been track.
ing him up, and finally traced bolt
of Denims taken from in front of the
Campbell Mercantile company's store,
and pair of mits from Cain Bro. s,
TO Manda Cushaw's, Lincolnville
coon, where he had disposed of them.
Further investigation led to the arrest
of the parties named, with ample
proof of their completely in the depre-
,dations. They Will have a hearing
