GLADSTOKE'S POSITION.

what viii Occur After the Result of
the Election is Formally Announced.
New York Tribune, 12: Mr., Glad
stones defeat involves an immediate
change OF government. His resignation
will be deferred until the result of the
elections are definitely de-
clared, but there is every reason to be-
lieve that it will precede the meeting of
parliament. This was the precedent fol-
lowed by Mr.. Disraeli in 1868, by Mr..
Gladstone himself in 1874, and by Lord
Beaconsfield in 1880. On each occasion
the government of the day had appealed
to the constituencies without success !;
and without waiting to confront hos
tile parliament. Each prime minister
promptly resigned and enabled his sue
cessor to write the queens speech. Last
November there was departure from
this rule and there was a reason FOR it.
The conservatives, while outnumbered
by the liberals, we're in alliance with the
nationalist and the coalition had clear
majority. It-was Lord Salisbury's duty
as well as privilege to remain In office
| and to meet parliament. But ordinarily

the country and been outvoted, it is only
frittering away time to retain office. A
government which has lost the conf.
dence of the country is discredited. 1t
has nothing to gain by facing parlia-
ment and being ignominiously expelled
from power.
There has been some foolish talk about
Mr.. Gladstone's attempting to modify
his Irish measures and to reunite the
forces of the liberal party, hereby escap.
ing the consequences of defeat. II he
could net succeed in overcoming Lord
Hartington's and Mr.. Chamberlain
hostility to his policy before consti-
tuencies voted, it would obviously be q
hopeless undertaking after they had
voted. Lord Darlington and Mr..
| Chamberlain are victorious now and q
parley with them would involve absolute
| surrender. Mr.. Gladstone is too proud q
statesman to allow himself or be drag.
ged on the ground behind Mr.. Chamber,
la1n's chariot wheel. Negotiations with
the unionists would ALLEVIATE at once the
support of the nationalists and make
Mr.. Gladstone the laughing stock oi
England. The prime minister will re-
tire from Office with dignity and moi

with nnsorupulous foes who would exul,
in an opportunity to degrade him.

ABOUT BOLTING.

1t it wanted to the Gazette would
not know how to bolt. Born and rails
ed in a political school that put a man
to death if he deserted his party's ban
ner, it only knows how to stand by
organization, viudicate discipline and
march with the colors.
The above manly words are from the
st. Joseph Gazette, and have the ring
of true democracy in them. No one
who knows Major Edwards will eX-
poet anything else from him, even
though the banner he fought under be-
fore the primary went down therein in
humiliation and defeat. This is the
school of politics i'll which we, too,
we're reared, and we have but little
patience with that class of men who
push themselves to the front, take all
active hand in preliminary cauvasses,
and then if their pets and favnrites fail
to secure nominations, desert to the
enemy, and GndeavOr TO excuse their
ircaChcry ny dcnouncing the more for
tunatc candidates. No maj is expect
ed to participate IN a democratic prima-
~ except democrats, and every maj
who votes therein stands pledged by
that action to support whomsoever the
nominees may be. The man who
fails to do so is no democrat, and
shows himself to be devoid of political
manhood and integrity. We say this
~adviscdly, and mean it in the fullest
sensc-plattsbur@ Democrat.

A FATE.

We are requested to print the follow
ing
LIMA, o., July 26.-The following
remarkable story was related to the
Enquirer correspondent by Il reliable
farmer who lives near the county line
between this and Mercer county
Last week while at work in the fields
a farmer by the name OF Sylvester
Redyan, owner of several hundred
acres of fine farming land i'll Mercer
county, began cursing in a most shock
ing n about the drouth injuring
his crops. and wound up with an oath
that he would cut Gods heart out il
He would come down. No sooner
we're the words uttered than Il vivid
streak of fire resembling lightning came
down from the cloudIess SKY and struck
Radyan. His companions who were
in the harvest field with him were
rendered insensible for several
minutes. When they recovered they
were nearly frightened to death at the
sight witch presented itself. Redyan,
the man who just a few second
before had uttered the terrible curse,
had been transformed into stone, and
lay on the ground where he had stood
when he made the shocking
offer to the Supreme Being. His
clothes had been burned from him, and
the lips were parted in the stone figure
just as Redyan had finished the oath
An awful heat arose from the piece OF
stone, and was so intense that no per.
son could 60 neal it.
While the story il so strange that i
may not be believed by many, its truth
is vOuched for by my informant and
several others equally as reliable me,
of that vicinity, with whom your cor
respondent has talked regarding tn,
strange affair. Each of them had been
to the place and seen the trausii9urct
body, and do not hesitate to say tina
every word of the account which
have given is correct. One man offere,
to hire a rig and drive the Enquire
man to the spot, and if things were no
as he represented them to be he woui,
pay the expense.
Redyan vas a man about Is years G
age, and had a family of Il wife and fiy
children, who are nearly wild wit
griet. Redyan was addicted to swcai
ing, and could scarcely speak a wor,
without accompanying it with an oatl
The country neal where the affair ha!
pened is not very thickiy populated

transaction not being given to the pul

The next house, said IA member of the

CHINESE COIN.

No coin i'll China is ever called in,
and the coinage remains the same as
when first issued, abOnt six centuries
before Christ. The Chinese word for
''curremt money! and the name of the
emperor in whose reign it was coined,
are on each piece. The coin is cast,
not stamped, and has a square hole for
facility in handing. any number being
strung on II bit of bamboo. These coins
date from 800 Il. G. to the present reign.
Some issued about the time of the
Roman conquest show little signs Ofage.
The characters are worn away on one
side: butsthc reverse is as plain as if il
| had been only Il few years out of the
mint. At one TING, a small business
was done in coins by clever foreigners
LOO being exchanged for a silver dol
lar in one part of the empire, LOO il
another. BY buying in one district
and selling in another, a fairly GOOD
interest was made; but those times ar
gone, and coin now has approximate,
the same value all over China.

ALI IN THE FAMILY.
IErnm the Post-D Dispatch.


Tennessee is determined to have a
TAYLOR for governor. The democratic
and republican nominees are brothers,
one being 81 and the other 3S years
old. Col. Robert l.. Taylor the demo
Graf and the younger of the two, has
served one year in congress, and enjoys
the unique distinction of having tid-
died his way into that body. Being Il
good viOIinist he made the canvass
among the music-loving population of
the backwoods with the fiddle and bow
and carried the ''wOOl-hat-and-One-gal-
lus'' vote by storm, defeating his re-
publican opponent in a district which
is republican by 5000 majority. For
several years he has been an editor.
Alfred A. Taylor, the republican NOM
inee, is a lawyer by profession and a
better speaker than his democratic
brother. He canvassed the state for
Blaine and Logan, and was a candidate
for congress-, but retired before the
election. This is a contest between
the press and bar, with the prospect
that the press will come out a few laps
ahead. The prohibitiomsts threaten to
complicate matters still further by nom
mating the father of these Taylors as
the cold-water candidate for governor.
1t is evidently the prevailing opinion
in Tennessee that the office must be
kept in the Taylor family.

HIS CHANCES.

From 4 New Hampshire paper.
AT a recent session oftheNewEugland
conference one of its popular bachelor
members was assigned to a new field
of labor, and has since been making
the acquaintance of his new flock. On
a recent Sunday he made a tour of the
Sunday school, under the direction Of
the superintendent, by whom he was
presented to the different classes. As
they came to one class of small boys,
taught by a preposscsSing young lady,
the superintendent, by way of intro
duction, said: 'This class has usually
been taught by our pastors wife"
Before the new pastor could utter his
word of encouragement to the class one
OF the boys said: Now is your chance,
teacher" The word OF encourage
ment was not uttered and the pastor
and superintendent quickly sought the
next class, leaving the blushing teacher
to her boys.

A PENSION CASE.
From the n. Y. Post.

FROM the n. I. POSt.I
Mrs. Almira II. Farrar, of Waterbu-
ry, VT, has just received the large sum
of 81, 1875 in cash as arrears, and the
assurance of $15 a month as long as she
lives, as the pension due a dependent
mother. 1t appears that a son of Mrs.
Farrar enlisted in the army in April,
1861, and was killed at Gettysburg in
July, 1868, and the pension is allowed
upon the ground that he was her only
support. But is also appears that,
when the soldier SOIL died, Mrs. Far
rar's husband and three other sons
were alive, that the family lived on a
good farm, well stocked with horses
and cattle, and that these other sons
are still alive and able to support the
mother. When the pension bureau in
terprets the law so literally as to grant
pensions in cases like Mrs. Farrar's, ii is
obvious that there is small excuse for
carrying to congress cases which the
bureau is unable to- allow, and that Mr..
Cleveland was abundantly justified in
vetoing many of the private pension
bills.
