The Next Election.

While the minds of our people is
being absorbed in the Presidential
campaign, it may be we'll to remind
our city people that we are to have
an election here in June. Petitions
are being circulated for signers ask
ing for an election in June to pro-
hibit the sale of intoxicants in this
city; and it is believed a sufficient
number will be secured and the cleo
ton ordered. The advocates of pro-
hlbition are hopeful of success.
They made very heavy gains last
year, and it is said there are many
supporters of prohibition this year
who were the other way last year.
1t is the same old fight over again.
No argument or evidence is needed
to convince a man which side he
should take. 1t is fight of morals
against immortality. 1t is battle in
which conscience is the strongest
weapon. A fight within mans own
heart. Prohibitionists have their
leaders as well as the ants. 1t is
not necessary for us to say here
which way our readers should vote
when the time comes. We may in
the future tell how we expect to vote.
We simply want to tell our people
that they must not forget that they
will be called upon to vote as early
as June, for or against whiskey. 1t
may be necessary for you to register.
Every voter in the city cast his vote
that day.

Trick of a I1indoo coniurer.

After a number of tricks, too familiar
to justify mentioning here, the conjurer
covers his head with a cloth for min
ute, and then reappears with brass eye
balls, with small hole bored in the CEN
ter of each to represent the pupils; and
his mouth is rendered hideous with a set
of teeth belonging to some animal. In
this horrible make up the old Hindoo
tom-toms on small oblong drum, while
one of his assistants sings in broken Eng
lish Buffalo Gals" He then openly re-
moves the false teeth, and taking out the
brass eyeballs, he casts them jingling on
the gravel at my feet. They ere simply
hemispheres of sheet brass, and fitted
closely over the eyeballs beneath the lids.
The conjurer's eyes water visibly after
the brass covers are removed; and well
enough they might; there is no slight of
hand about this, it is purely an act of
self torture. -Thomas Stevens in Outing.

So Strange.

We often hear of strikes on rail-
roads and other places by white men,
but seldom hear of their arrest on ac-
count of the strike. But few weeks
ago 1000 engineers struck out in
Illinois, and those roads are yet en-
barrassed on account of it. The Ne
gro seldom strikes for higher wages.
But few months ago, away down in
Louisiana, some poor fellows dared to
strike for better wages and a number of
them were shot and others put in Jail.
And now it is reported that fifty col
ored hands on the coast line, struck
at Sumter, s. c., and the ring-lead-
ers have been arrested and lodged in
Jail. What Negro hadn't rather go
to California than to Jail? If the
Negro would be free, he must him
self strike the blow. He is not al
lowed to demand higher wages,
neither is he allowed to quit work
when he starts.

The Cosmopolitan for March departs
from its precedent of making each
month complete, in commencing a new
serial story by Z. P. Roe, entitled
"Miss Lou" But the phenomenal
popularity of Mr.. Roe as a novelist,
warrants this enterprising young
magazine in making such a venture.
"Miss Lou" is a powerful story of
southern life at the close of the war,
full of dramatic incident. 1t will 90
of the usual length of Mr.. Roe's
novels and will run through eight
months of the Cosmopolit0n. Ex-
ceptional interest will be taken in it
by Mr.. Roe's large constituency as
the author says of it 81 consider Mss
Lou to be the most successful novel [
have written. 1t is certainly most
full of surprising incidents" When
it is remembered that $4,000 copies
of Mr.. Roe's novels have been sold
in the last six months, and that his
publishers make the first edition of
his new story 100000 copies, it is
not strange that Mr.. Roe is ranked as
the most popular of living American
novelists.

In a Nutshell.

The New York Ncrah thus peril
nently puts it:
Eyes, there is quite a difference
between the Republicans and the
Democrats on the tariff question.
The Republicans would take the
tax off Of whisky, beer and tobacco
and let the matter rest there for the
present.
The Democrats would take the tax
off of fuel, that they may have more
comfortable shelter, and off of raw
wool for two reasons-frst, that the
poor man may have warmer and
cheaper clothing, and, second, be-
cause free wool will start scores of
mills that are now shut down and
give employment and good wages to
thousands Of workmen.
Now, these are the facts in q nut
she'll. and you will simply wear your
shoes out if you kick against them. -

House PIN $.

The way house plants thrive on
the drcgs Of .uffec left At breakfast
is admirable. Bowk"r itself hardly
turns out stronger LEAKAGE or such
thick bloom. The grounds are a
good mulch IN the top Of the soil,
hut little care must he given not
20 let them sour and get musty IA
cooli>h. damp weather.
The great trouble with house
plants, greater than errors in water
ing. i letting the pots he exposed 10
the sun. The fihrOuS roots soon
grow to the side of the pot, and
these are baked in full sunshine,
trehly hot coming through glass,
which cOndcnses Its rays; the root
tips are soon killed. The whole ball
of earth is baked over and over, and
vet people wonder why they don 1
succeed with house plants. Shade
the side of the pot always, either by
plunglng in box of sand, moss,
cocoa finer or ashes, or place thin
board on edge across the front of
the plant shelf, that Will come almost
to the top of the pots.
Let the plants have the sun, but
shade the pots. y good way to
screen them is to set each pot in one
or two sizes or more larger, filling
the space with moss or sand.
The best gardeners say that the
porous common pots are not so good
for house plants as those glazed or
painted outside. The reason is that
evaporation Is constant from the
sides of the porus pots, and the roots
are not only drIer but colder for 1t.

lowing on Joe Manley, blaine's lieu
