Got the Girl He Wanted.

4 story is told in Brooklyn society Of
the sudden appearance Of former res
ldent with a large diamond and an
ambition, equally glittering, to marry
q former sweetheart if he could. He
sll'a 5had been to Australia, made pile,
ana was coming back to stay long
enough to get a wife, give her the
diamond, marry her, and take her back
tnere. Unfortunately, the girl of bis
choice was engaged and about to
marry. The Australian went sadly
away without having shown his dia-
.mond, and in day or two he gave it
to another old acquaintance. Then he
called upon the lady Of his choice to
DID her good-by, and she told him that
she had been thinking the matter over
and had found that she loved him
better than she loved the man to whom
she was engaged. Back went the
young man to the girl to whom he had
made a present of his diamond and
persuaded her to give it to him and take
Its worth in money or another jewel.
He then took the diamond to the girl
Tor whom it was intended, and she be-
came his wife and they have sailed for

A Surprising Statement.

We boldly assert that all American
china and glazed crockery ware is
enameled with a preparation consisting
largely of the red oxide of lead, or as
it is commonly known, litharge. This
salt of lead is very soluble in the fata-
cids especially in butyric acid. All
fatty goods contain this acid and when
from the frequent alternate expansion
and contraction of the enamel or glaz-
ing on the various dishes and plates
we use on the table, cracks have formed,
the butyric acid insinuates itself under
the enamel, takes up the lead, and with
the food on the plate is taken into the
stomach, where being a cumulative
poison it insiduously poisons the
system. Do not let us deceive ourselves
by thinking that the quantity of lead is
small, but remember that the quantity
Of lead set free by carbonic acid in the
water running through lead pipe is
still less, and yet no less authority
than Professor Chandler has proven
that much lead-poisoning is due to
this. -Aane7ican A,aatyst.

JUDICIAL EXECUTIvE COMMIT
ZEE.


At the meeting Of the State Executive
Committee at Parkersburg, a resolution
empowering each member Of the commit
tee to appoint members Of a judicial exec
utivs committee for the several counties in
his Senatorial district, was adopted. 1t
was . wise step. A thorough organization
of the party in every district, and upon
every issue, is the Democracy's pressing
need. The committee acted for the inter
ests Of the party and in the line Of organi-
cation and discipline. OF course it was
not the intention to supersede any ex-
isling organizations, but rather to stimu-
late such organizations and to encour-
age the party to strengthen itself at
every point for toe coming political con-
test.
The attention Of the State committee is
called to the fact that a judicial executive
committee already exists in the fourth jul
dicial district. The convention, that nomi-
hated Judge Stealey in 1880, adopted q
resolution that the ehairmen of the several
Democratic county executive committees,
act as a Judicial executive committee. This
committee stands from the appointment Of
eight years ago. 1t is the regularly con-
stitrted body, and its acts are authoritative.
The appointment Of a Judicial committee
by the State committee, for this d strict,
is a natural oversight, under the circum-
stances. When informed of the existence
of an organized body, empowered to act
for thu Democrats Of the fourth judicial
district, The State committee will no doubt
repair its error.
A like condition of affairs may exist in
other judicial districts besides the fourth.
II SO, the matter should be investigated,
and the conflict removed. There must be
no clashing of authority. The proper
method is to recognize the committee ap-
pointed by the Judicial convention and al
ready in existence.

THE Eureka Pottery Company, Of East
Liverpool, is a firm that is evidently not
oppressed with the fears for the future of
the pottery industry, that are 80 painful to
General GoFF and perhaps, a few others.
In spite Of the tariff reduction proposed by
the MILLS bill, the Eureka Company has
let the contracts for its new buildings, and
it proposes to be making ware in them by
September. General GOFF and his brother
high tariff advocates could make a good
point on the pottery industry if they could
Just get the facts to accord with their state
ments. The difference between these gen
tlemen aud the Eureka company is that
they are engaged in pottery politics and the
company in p9ttery business.

party. 1t was this policy Of carrying
water on n shoulder and beer on the
other which knocked out the q. o. p. In
's4, and will knock it sky high in 's8.
They want the Prohibitionists and they
want the liquor men. They talk IN
favor of prohibition privately, luggle
or body and say nothing in their platforms,
but built mp, foster and protect the bust
ness in the strongest Republican States In
the Union, where they have the offices and
the power.
In this State in the Legislature they
voted almost solidly for submission, after
voting 3 to / against it in their State con-
yention. That was done so as to go to
temperance men and Prohibitionists and
say: Here, we are for prohibition; we
voted solid for submission. The Demo
Gratis wouldn't have submitted it" Then
when the liquor men in their " party
take them TO task they reply: I'VE didn't
submit the question. The Democrats had
q majority both in the House
and Senate, and they are
responsible. II they didn't want it sub
mitted, it wouldn't have been done. The
Republican party isn't a Prohibition party
and YOU can't find q line in the platform
which saws So" And so it goes-''goOd
lord, coed devil" Only a day or two ego
oae of the most prominent Republican
Prohibitionists in this valley told the
writer that niue out of ten OF the Republi-
cans of this State are for Prohibition. If
that is 50 then it is simply the rankest kind
of cowardice, treachery or duplicity to the
cause 10 allow the one liquor man in the
party to dictate the policy of the nine, as
in this State. 1t is safe to venture that
the nine will not dare attempt TO put a
square toed Prohibition plank in the COM
ing Republican platform. The best that
can lie attempted will be a see-saw plank
which can he read and interpreted both
ways. Ia the mean time the g. o. p.'s
prospects grow beautifully less, and this
fall we expect to wind the CORY garment
about its ~lifeless form and lay il away to
rest with its fathers. Then in 1892 the
REGISTER and its party will have the
pleasure of q square setto with the young
giant of Prohibition.
