IT becomes more and more evident

the action and outcome at ST. Louis,
and are enthusiastic and confident OF
triumph in November.

II Is given out from Birmingham,
Ala, that some of the colored dele
gates to the Chicago convention re-
turned to that city with pockets filled
with Doodle, and boosted of having
obtained it from supporters Of Gov.
Ager. William Youngblood, mem
Der Of the national executive commit
tee whose home is in Birmingham, is
authority for the statement that Alger
and his men purchased the votes of
fifty southern delegates that went to
the convention with Sherman as their
fixed choice. He says the price paid
was $500 cash, all expenses in Chi
Cago and their expenses both ways.
Well this is pretty how-do-y ou-do ;
but 1t is the way certain of the Repub-
lican "leaders'' have OF doing things.
1t is too bad that Mr.. Alger paid out
SO much OF his doodle and then failed
to capture the coveted prize.

New Southern Party.

Hon. Thomas S. Seldom and bis
associates, comprising the committee
of Southerners from Birmingham,
Ala, who called upon Gen. Harrison
recently, were particular to impress
upon the press correspondents that
their visit was non-political in the
general acceptance of the term. In
quiry, however, into the causes and
circumstances leading to their visit,
and the formulation of the address
they presented to the President elect,
discloses the fact that beneath this
Endorsement of the protection doc
trine by the capitalists of Alabama
lies hidden what may prove to be a
great political project. 1t is believed
that the movement embodies a pro-
gramme for the founding of new po-
litical party in the Southern States,
the leading spirits of which should
be the business element, especially
the manufacturers. Said one of the
committee; "We regard the solid
South as a thing Of the past; it is
gone forever. The election Of Gen.
Harrison and the certainty of the adj
mission of two or three new Repub-
lican States, strips the South of her
former power in national politics.
The break up is upon US: we must
look to arranging new lines, aud in
doing SO we propose to make new al
liances and to bring about a settle
ment of the perplexing race issue" 1t
is learned that the original secret call
issued at Birmingham ABOUT Nov. 20,
and sent to about one hundred of the
leading manufacturers, capitalists and
business men of Alabama, has never
been published. An examination of
this call is of interest. 1t sets forth
the advantages to be secured by an
acquiescence in the verdict of the peo-
pie for protection. 1t deprecates and
rebels from a further continuation of
the political supremacy in the South
of what it terms Bourbon rule"
And, lastly, it outlines an ingenious
plan for the creation of a new and in
dependent Southern party, whose
founders and followers shall institute
a political warfare against "Bourbon
rule" and press that element until it
calls the negro to its aid to save it
from political death. "When the
Bourbons shall be compelled to call
for the negro vote in State and local
elections, from that moment" says
the call, ''fair elections in the South
are secured and political disfranchise-
ment ceases" The new party will
not antagonize the colored race or
drive them from its membership, but
it will be organized almost entirely by
white men who expect no support to
speak of from the negro at the outset.
Protection and fair elections are to be
the corner stones Of the new party,
and it's charter members are men Of
such unbounded wealth and influence
that the movement assumes an impor
tant aspect.

In China there have been several
horrible stories of torture and inhu-
manity. One was the case OF
Coolie at Swallow, who was accused
of kidnapping. He was tortured In
the ordinary Chinese way for two
DAYS, but lie either would not admit
his guilt or had nothing to confess.
He had no money with which to
placate his tormentors so on the
third day he was triced up naked IN
the broiling sun and surrounded with
layer of quicklime. He was al
lowed no food, but any amount of
drink, which the unfortunate wretch
swallowed greedily under the tropical
sun, and soon began to perspire freely.
When the perspiration came in con-
tact with the quicklime the victim
suffered as though suddenly plunged
into boiling hot water, or thrown
upon red hot Goals. His screams
could be heard for long distance,
and he expired in as great agony as
do the criminals who suffer what Is
called the ''lingering process" the
stripping of the flesh by keen knives,
until loss of blood brings welcome
death.

The total vote cast by the Northern
States at the recent election was Just
about 100000. Harrison's vote is
Ao73,873 and Cleveland's vote is
3,6o5,67S. Hence the Republican
vote in the North is 4oS,I95 larger
than the Democratic. In the South
ern States Cleveland's vote is 1920
757 and Harrison's I,353,396. The
Democratic vote in the South is there
fore 567,36I larger than the Republi-
can vote in the total of 3,274123.
The relative smallness of the South
ern vote is on account of the suppress
sion of the colored vote in the eight
cotton States.

American girls who view with envy
their sisters who make what appear
brilliant matches abroad may we'll re-
fleet on the results that occasionally
follow. A few years ago there was
a young lady who was one of the
bellies of the assembly, an acknowl-
edged beauty Of the deep brunette
type. She had many suitors, but was
ambitious and evidently desired hus-
band with both wealth and position.
She undoubtedly could have married
more than one desirable young man
in society had she been content with
q moderate income. But her own
means were small and she desired to
be like the wealthy women with whom
she was thrown in contact. She went
abroad and vague rumors Were hea rd
Of her sudden marriage on the CONT
nent. All that was known about him
was that he was spoken of as rich.
Not long ago the lady returned to
Philadelphia, and while she bears her
married name, she has asked her most
n innate friends 10 never mention her
husband, and is a crushed, miserable
md broken hearted woman.

a Story That Will Bear Repeating,

NS@o'J Anat VIII bear Repeating.
A certain fort in the far west, so
the story goes, was in command of a
major of artillery who constantly la
mented that his favorite arm could
not be more frequently used against
the Indians. Finally, one day he took
one of the small rhoWitzers, which de-
Tended the fort, and had It eocurcl,-
/ strapped to the back Ofan army mule
with the muzzle projecting over the
animals tail. With this novel gun
carriageshe proceeded in high feather
with a captain and sergeant to bluff
on the bank of the Missouri, near
which camped band of friendly In
dians. The gun was duly loaded and
primed, the fuse inserted and the
mule backed to the edge of the bluff.
The major remarked something about
the moral effect the exhibition was
likely to produce upon the Indian
allies, and stepped gaily forward and
applied the match. The curiosity of
the mule was aroused. He ierked his
head around to see what was fixing
away on his neck, and the next second
his feet were all punched together
and making forty revolutions minute,
while the gun was threatening every
thing within a radius of ten miles
with instant destruction. The captain
Skinned up the only available tree.
The sergeant threw himself fat on the
ground and tried to dig hole with
his bayonet to crawl into, while the
fat major rolled over and over in
agony, alternately invoking the pro-
violence and cursing The mule. Finally
the explosion came, the ball going
through the roof of the fort. The re-
coil of the gun and the wild leap of
the terrified mule carried both over
the bluff to a safe anchorage at the
bottom of the river. The discounted
party returned sadly to the fort.
Shortly after the chief of the Indians
and announced briefly:
''Injun 60 home" Questioned as to
why, he thus explained: '1njun very
brave, help white man. Injun use
gun, use bow, arrow, use knife but
when white man fire off whole jackass,
lDjun no understand, no think right.
lnjun no help UNI fight that way"

4 Wonderful Success.

Invaluable in the home and in the
office; to the parent and to the child
to the young man and to the maiden
to the merchant and to the farmer. We
speak of the Troy Weekly Times, and
when you read it once you will agree
with us. Many new features make the
paper additionally attractive to former
subscribers. From time to time changes
In important departments have been
made until now it is the best weekly
newspaper published. The Veterinary
department, the market reports, facts
for farmers, the Hermlt's letter, agrlcul-
tural intelligence, and selected mlScella-
ny are complete and satisfactory TO the
most eXacting readers, while able edIto-
rial discussion of the leading topics OF
the day is supplemented with careful
resume of the current news. During
the year 1889, the publishers OF the Troy
Weekly Times contemplate adding to
their already complete mechanical de-
partment, a Hoe perfecting press capa-
BILE of printing four, six, eight or twelve
pages at the raA of $4,000 copies an
hour. This large expense is necessary,
and is caused by the rapidly growing
circulation of The Times-a sure indica-
ton of the esteem in which it is held by
the reading public. Other Improvements
will be added from time to time, and
subscribers are assured of getting not
only the largest, but the best Weekly
newspaper ever offered.
Even with the largely increased
amount of reading matter the price will
remain the same One Dollar per year.
