PRncREss OF the LICK TELESCOPE.

The object glass of the Lick
Telescope is now substantially
finished, and the few astronomers
who as yet have had the privilege
of looking through it speak of it in
the highest terms. The figure and
color correction appearto be excellent
and it has, of course, an enormous
superiority in light over everything
preceding. The views it gives in
dark nights of the brighter clusters
and nebul@ are simply magnificent,
and the defining power is such that
it most easily splits the most difficult
double stars, like y Coron@, for in
stance. The Clarks have, however,
just met serious check in the
matter of the Photographic cor
rector" which they were preparing
in order to fit the instrument for
astronomical photography. The disk
burst into three pieces on the grind
ing tool, and they will have to await
the casting of another. The loss
falls on the maker of the glass
Fell of Paris. When the disk was
first received, the tests by polarized
lights showed that the glass was
suffering severe internal strains, pro-
badly due to imperfect annealing |;
and the Clarks notified the maker
that they feared it would not bear
working; he, however, thought it
would, and told them to go ahead at
his risk, which they did, with the
result stated above. The erection
of the instrument will not be delayed
by the accident.-[N. Y. Independ-

Great Excitement in Wales
about a Marvellous Cure.
Living Six Years Without
Going to Bed.

Mr., EDITOR spending few
days ut the pleasant seaside town of
Abcrystwith, Cardiganshirc, Wales, |
heard related what seemed TO me either
fabulous story or marvellous cure.
The story was that IA poor sufferer who
had not been able to lie down in bed for
six long years, given up 10 die by all the
Doctors, had been speedily cured by
some Patent Medicine. 1t was related
with the more implicit confidence from
the circumstance, as was said, that the
Vicar of Llanrystyd was familiar with
the facts, and could vouch for the truth
of the report.
Having little curiosity to know how
such stories grow in travelling, took
the liberty while at the village of Liam.
rystyd TO call upon the Vicar, the Rev.
T. Evans, and to enquire about this
wonderful cure. Though total stran.
ger to him, both he and his wife most
graciously entertained me in half
hours conversation, principally touching
the case of Mr. Pugh, in which they
seemed to take a deep and sympathetic
interest, having been familiar with his
sufferings. and now rejoiced in what
seemed 10 them most remarkable cure.
The Vicar remarked that he presumed
report from his having mentioned the
case to Mr.. John Thomas, chemist of
Llanon. He said Mr.. Pugh was former.
ly Il resident of their parish, but was now
living in the parish of Llanddeinol.
He strongly vouchcd Mr.. VIM. Pugh's
character as respectable farmer and
worthy of credit. left the venerable
Vicar with a livelier sense of the happy
relation Of pastor and people, feeling
that he was one who truly sympathiscd

On my return to Abery stwith, i was
impressed with desire to see Mr.. Pueh,
whose reputation stood so high. His
farm is called Pancom- Mawr, signifying

A Democratic Argument.

The st. Paul Globe has the follow
ing sample'of democratic argument in
behalf of Mr.. Day-but it won't wash:
Notwithstanding the large republi-
can majority in Dakota there are
strong indications that the territory
will be represented by democrat in
congress. There are two prominent
reasuns why it should be so. In the
first place the democrats have present.
ed candidate, in the person of Mr..
Day, who is capable of looking after
the interests of the territory. He is a
brainy man, unselfish and untiring in
his devotion to the interests of the
territory and will make representa-
tive IN whom the people Of Dakota
could confide and of whom they would
be proud. In the next place the peo-
pie of Dakota realize the Importance
of having territorial representative
who is in accord with the administra-
tion snd with the majority in the
house of which he Is member. They
see the disadvantages Mr.. Clifford
labored under during the last session
of congress. The interests of the ter
ritory are of more consequence to the
people of Dakota than the success of
party or of individuals. This is the
practical view they are likely to take
of it and will accordingly vote for Mr..
Day without regard to political con-
vlctions or to party lines.

What the Democrats are Doing.

Aberdeen News: The democratic
party is working hard to get a foot
hold in Dakota. 1t is using every
available plan that can be worked to
weaken it's opponent, the republican
party. 1t is looking a long ways
ahead. 1t is not looking for this year
alone, but for the succeeding years and
campaigns. Its policy is to put
straight democratic tickets in the field
in the several counties, the same as
they have done here in Brown, and to
follow up the fight hoping to win for
some of their candidates, and to cut
the republican majorities wherever
possible. In other words, it expects to
be able to proclaim that counties and
localities that have heretofore in
reality are at the present time-repub-
lican to be democratic.

twenty years earned something like 40

Some Good Words for Roblnson.

Mt. Vernon Gazette: The farmers
of Dawson county should rally to the
support of r. 7. Robinson. He is their
candidate. They placed him in nomi-
nation and should see to it that he is
elected. He is worthy, capable, and a
veteran soldier. J. K. Smith will un-
doubtedly be opposed to him. But j.
K. Smith should have no claims upon
the farmers votes. He has held the
best office in the county for six years.
1t is time for him to step down and
out. Four-fifths of the farmers
Dawson county are republic
cans. They cannot afford to
vote for j. X. Smith, a democrat, as
opposed to republican farmer. The
farming community have been COM
planning that they have been ignored in
the distribution of the Offices and now
when the best Office in the county is
offered to one of their number these
complaints will have but little weight
in the future unless they stand by their
candidate.

A Drove of Hogs Devour an Old Lady.

MT. STERLING, ILL.,, Oct. 15.-Mrs.
Greenwood, a widow aged seventy
years, left her home on Tuesday after
noon between three and four o'clock to
visit Mr.. Williams, a distance of about
three-eights of q mile, She did not re-
turn on Tuesday night, but nothing
strange was thought of it. but anxiety
came when Wednesday came and did
not bring her. A search was made and
after time, the bones and pieces of
her bloody flesh were found surrounded
by drove of hogs, who were fighting
over the remains which were identified
by scraps of clothing as those of Mrs.
Greenwood. 1t is supposed that the
old lady tainted and that the hogs at
tackled her before she recovered con.
sciousness.

now until the second of November will
be carried on with increasing vigor.
The fight is fairly and squarely party
one. The republicans, as usual, took
the initiative, and have put frst-class
ticket in the field from Clifford down.
OF that gentleman's merits there need
be no elaboration at this time. His
unanimous denomination was the
strongest argument that could be ad-
vanced of the appreciation the republi-
cans throughout the territory have of
his ability, his honesty and his efficient
services to the territory. No honor
able republican can entertain for a
moment the specious proposition that
to show a weakened party strength in
Dakota at this time will help our cause
with the democratic administration
and house Of representatives. To
weaken in the face of the enemy is to
lose everything for which we have
labored all these years, and to gain
nothing but contempt from our party
friends outside, and ridicule from our
enemies.
The legislative ticket is one which
should command the full party strength,
made up as it is Of men who are in
sympathy with the majority of south
Dakota, and who can accomplish as
much for the interests of this district
as any delegation that could be sent
to Bismarck. So far as Mitchell's local
interests are concerned Messrs. Gates
and Sullivan are as strongly pledged
to serve them in every possible way as
men of honor can be pledged, and the
republican voters of this town and
county can not afford to withhold their
support from them.
AS we have before remarked, no mat
ter what shape the opposition to the
county ticket may take, it will be dem
ocratic in intent. The republicans
have named their men, and from out
the convention which did the work,
there went no disappointed candidates
with grievances sufficient to warrant
their refusing to endorse that work.
The result was obtained as squarely as
was ever the case in similar conven-
tion, and there is nothing in the way
of hearty cooperation on the part of
every republican in Dawson county.
Therefore, let all personal considera-
tions be sunk out of sight, and the
fight for once be made on party lines.
The democracy is organizing all over
the territory for an effective campaign,
and we cannot afford to take anything
for granted in the matter of majorities.
The past gives no assurance Of the
future. This year the relative strength
of the two organizations will be tested
as never before. Let it not be said
that the republicans of Dawson county
are weakening in the faith, nor that
they can be diverted from effective
party work by specious side issues.
The Mitchell capital. (Mitchell, Dakota [S.D.]) 1879-1918, 1886-10-22

The democrats of this legislative
district have put themselves fairly in
the field along party lines. The ticket
nominated at Plankinton is a repre-
sentative one and will doubtless have
the effect to solidify party organiza-
tion.
MIR. John d. Lawler, of this city,
who is at the head Of it, is the presi-
dent of the First National Bank, is one
of Mitchell's public-spirited citizens
and comes of good old democratic
stock.
Mr.. Clossen, of Aurora county is a
farmer and was the nominee of that
element in its late convention. Be-
yond this he is very little known in the
district.
Mr.. ]. V. Hamilton, of Brule county,
is an old resident of Mitchell, was a
democrat when it made a man lone
some to own up to it, and for year or
two past has made his home near Kim
ball. He is well known throughout
this district, and will get the full party
vote in all probability,
We are sincerely glad to see demo-
cratic ticket in the field. It means
that the republican party must not
sleep on its arms, but must contest
every inch Of ground from this until
election day.

which took effect yesterday. The rate
for local tickets in Illinois, Wisconsin,
Iowa and Minnesota will be three cents

may be sold at three cents. Ten cents
extra will be charged on the cars for
those not buying tickets.

The Right Sort of Talk.

Sioux Falls Press: There is of
course no possible doubt of Gifford's
election. Two years ago his majority
in round number was 5000 votes out
of total of about $4,000. There is per-
haps no denying that many of those
who supported the republican ticket
two years ago were democrats at heart
and were only training temporarily in
the republican ranks for what there
might be at the end of the march. AS
a prominent instance of this, mention
might be made of L. &. johnson of
Ordway, now one of the heaviest
weights in the democratic party. But
there are not many thousand of this
class, and the democratic gain might
not be so great after all. But there is
one thing which is not to be lost sight
of, namely, where the republicans
are making no fight at all, they are
organizing one of the sharpest cam
paigns ever waged in this territory
Previous to this year there was scarce
ly a county which was so hardy as to
venture to put up a democratic county
ticket. Now it is different. There is
scarcely county which has failed to
put up ticket and the party is being
thoroughly organized for work. This
can mean nothing else than that the
democrats will bring out their full
strength, and gain many of the inde-
pendent class and possibly some weak
kneed republicans. One party is work
ing hard, and the other is absolutely
inactive having quitely settled down
under the conviction that the battle is
already won. This is mistake and if
this policy is kept up the grand old
party will be shorn of its strength.
Let it be supposed that there is no
danger of Gifford's defeat, even then
the party should not be neglected and
permitted to lose its strength by mere
lack of action. The party must be
kept full of life. 1t has still an i'm
portant work to do, and the leaders in
Dakota should see that at least enough
is done to keep it in healtful working
condition. The time of statehood is
not far distant. Dakota will then
have voice in national affairs, and it
is of great Importance that there shall
never be any cloud cast upon the re-
publicanism of Dakota.
