THERE were 100000 men who voted
for HARRISON, and yet at the most he
will hardly have more than 100000
offices at his disposal. Many who will
ride to Washington in the band wagon
and camp around the White house will
YEARLY trudge home on foot. The
depths of eXperience-the experience of
others-furnish the evidence that this
is world of trial and disappointment

TIE intimation that every member
elect OF the legislature has a rod up for
speaker is probably an ill-humored ex-
aggeration. DoNNELLY has not-ah,
but it was forgotten that he decided not
to serve as member this session.
There is, however, Mr.. PoTTER-his
name, too, is missing. Anyway, it is
safe to wager that no Democrat really
expects the position, or is writing an
impromptu inaugural address.

In the Boone district court the case of
the state against W. F. Laidley came up
for trial. Laidley was q Methodist minis.
ter at Ogden, was indicted for the seduc-
ton of Alice Alderman. now Of Ames, and
mt II time Il member of the Laidley
household. She testified that the illicit
intercourse began in July. 1884, when she
Was about Ii years of age. and continued
I'M il September, 1857, when the affair be-
came public. At the conclusion Of her
testimony l.aidley's counsel moved to Iii
rect the jury to return a verdict for the de-
PENDANT upon the ground that action was
barred by the statute Of Limitation andtha
the court had no jurisdiction. as the ac-
tlon was not begun until April, 1855, aud
the statute of limitations required it to he
commenced within eighteen months from
the time the first offense was committed.
The court sustained the motion and the
verdict for the defendant was ordered by
the judge. The OF. err cases against Laid
ley for lewdness, etc.. were dismissed by
the court before trial. The interposition.
Of the statute Of limitations saves Mr..
Laidley from the ~penitentiary, but tine fact
that he chose to plead this technical de-
Tense. instead of making . defense upon
the merits OF the whole case, confirms the
generally prevailing opinion that he il
morally, u not legally, guilty Of the crime
charged. The conference dismissed him
from the ministry some time ago.

The season of 1888 started in early. and
has been. on the whole, Il very successful
one for the l%umbernlen. The result is

is one of the largest in the annals of that

and few setbacks. Last year five mills
We're burned in the middle of the season.
Two new mills have taken their places and.
another is projected. The exact figures on
this seasons cut are not %obtainable, but
from the boom scale and other sources of
information IL close estimate can be made.
The figure is placed at 325. OOO, 900 feet of
lumber. If the estimate shall prove cor

that of the banner year of 1882.
