AWarnign agaips. Hasty Conclusions.

A woman in Lafayette Street, East,
rushed ouG the other day and informed
a policeman that she had seen a huge
dog crawl under her barn and that she
believed the animal mad. The Off
Ger went around by way of the alley &C
companied by the usual crowd, and
after peeking and peering around fol-
some time he shot three bullets under
the barn to scare the dog out. After
the third shot movement was heard,
and presently the long end of a colOred
man crawled into view. After back

his eyes he asked:
''WaS it me you were shooting al?

In the realm Of disease the facts Of In

nature Is more pregnant with awful mean

Modern science, which has illuminated 80

WHILE the democratic party resides
almost entirely below Mason and Dix
on's line, they dare not as yet nomin-
ate one Of their number, even to the
Vice-presideney. The tWenty-four del
egates from Virginia to the st. Louis
convention will vote solidly for Gov
ernor Fitzhugh Lee, the peer if not the
superior of any democrat of the north.
But this will be all, as even the north
ern democrats recognize the fact that
the time has not yet come when treason
and traitors can not be made little
bit odious in the north. In this man
ner do democrats virtually acknowl-
edge that only by hypocrisy and the
hoodwinking of majority of the vot-
ers in one or two of the northern states
together with, if necessary, the total
Obliteration of the colored vote in the
south, can they retain control of the
government.

ALREADY some of the democratic
papers are beginning to sing new tunes.
Some declare that Blaine was the only
man the republican party stood any
show of electing, while others declare
that he declined because he was so
shrewd that he knew there was no show
against the great pension vetoer and
free trade advocate who now occupies
the White House. However, in short
time harmony may prevail and def
mite line be agreed on. In the mean
time democratic abuse can be freely be-
slowed on each and all of the promi-
nent republicans whose names are
mentioned in connection with the nom
nation.

Mrs. A. L. Ruggles, who lives three
miles north of the city, met with a
serious accident Thursday morning.
While on her way to this city her team
became frightened and overturned the
carriage, throwing her out and break

elbow. Both bones were broken. The
fracture is known as ''COlley's" frac-

resulting in deformity of the limb.

WASHINGTON, June 1.-The senate
committee on the judiciary failed again
this morning to reach conclusion in
regard to the nomination of Melville
w. Fuller, to be chief justice. 1t is
understood that further information
from Chicago is awaiting. The most
serious of the charges brought against
Mr.. Fuller, are those from Mr.. Dun
levy, of Chicago. They allege that the
clerk of the court, and Mr.. Fuller
were jury commissioners in 1881. and
that Mr.. Fuller drew jury before
which a case in which he
was himself heavily interested
was tried. The result, according
to Dunlevy, was verdict for Fuller.
and the consequent recovery of large
and valuable tract of swamp land.
The committee has telegraphed
for transcript of the records
and will await the receipt.
The senate bill reviving the grade OF
general, which became a law to-day,
reads as follows:
Be it enacted. etc.. that the grade
of acknowledgement of the army is
hereby discontinued and is merged in
the grade of general of the army of the
United States, which grade shall con-
tinue during the life time of the pres
emit acknowledgement, after which
such grade shall cease, and the presi-
dent of the United States is hereby
authorized to appoint, with the advice
and consent of the senate. general OF
the army of the United States.
Section 2. That the pay and allow.
ance of the general be the same as here
toforo allowed for that grade.

THE national prohibition convention

Brewers National association at st.
Paul. These two bodies are supposed
to be working for different ends, and
both express themselves as hopeful.
The Indianapolis convention hopes for
the day when there viii be no drinking
of beer, and the st. Paul convention
expects to see the time when beer win
be more generally drank than now.
Yet both are avowedly working in the
interests of democracy.

WHILE Blaine was the idol of many
republicans, yet there was a very
pronounced opposition to him within
the ranks. With any of the other
candidates named the ranks will close
up and present solid front. The fall
acy that Blaine could draw heavily
from the democratic ranks on account
of his popularity with the Irish, is nom
sense. If the Irish do not know enough
to vote for protection as personified by
any candidate the republicans may put
in the field, against the British dog
trine of free trade as exemplified in
the person of the husband of Mrs.
Cleveland. then there is little to be
hoped from them in the way of sup
port of any sort for republicanism.

A REGULARITY of prohibitionists, to
persons who suppose them to be tenn
perance advocates, is the fact that,
instead of showing pleasure when
learning of many saloons being closed
by the exercise of high license law,
they only seem to experience aggra-
vation-because the saloons have not
been closed by their methods alone.
A sort of dog-in-the-manger party, is
the prohibition party.

EVEN yet some of Blaine's enemies

Into a flame. But they will be unsuc-
cessful. The republican party, unlike
the democratic, does not belong to any
