The Chicago Herald charges that Bob,

The announcement is made that shoals
of sinners have been crowding into the
churches in South Carolina since the earth
quake shocks began down there, but we are
rather sllcplical Of the truth Of the state
ment; the result Of the election i'll that
state don't bear it out. Il is still solidly
Democratic.
Democratic officials under the general
government who participated in political
campaign work are condemned by the ad-
ministration as being guilty Of ''pernicious
political activity" Republicans similarly
engaged are characterized by the same au-
thoriiy as offensive partisans." The
characterization really amounts to little; all
Republicans ask is an equal show for their
white ally.

last total number II ported was 5000
It is stated that the French will next

consequent loss of Alsacc and Lohrane still

There are scores of influential Republi-
cans in Shawnee county who will never
again cooperate or vote with the Republi-
Can party.-Topeka Democrat.
If not, why not? If those influential
Repubi cans want to feel the sensations OF
defeat, to quit the Republican party will
be the proper capor. Or mc6bc that is
what is singing them. True blue Repub-
licans don't go of at a tangent; they amt
built that way.
The Democratic papers throughout the
country are raisingsa great cry against
General Master Workman Powdelly. His
active Intervention in the New York may
orally contest, together with his ringing
letter in reply TO an editorial in the New
York World, in which lie states that he is
a protective tariff man from the crown Of
his head to the sole Of his foot, has caused
the Democrats to discover great many
unpleasant things in this gentleman.
Russia believes III The special education Of
railway employees for their profession, as is
shown by the fact that there are thirty
three railway schools now in operation I'M
der the direction Of the government minis
ter of transportation. The course en-
braces mathematics, accounts, surveying,
biography, mechanics, engineering. rail
way construction and operation, etc. Ii
more attention were given to this matter in
this country there would be fewer railroad
disasters and less loss Of life thereby.
The trial for heresy of AndOvcr profcs

culprits and their august judges may bt
spared To see the close Of the trial. 1t is
very difficult, however, TO gel up anything
like the semblance Of enthusiasm over &
trial for heresy in these days There are
no faggots, no flames, no rack, no thumb
screw, no damp, dreary, dungeon cell.
The here,ics rs we'll as their judges, eat
three good meals day. and sleep well
