Investigating the causes that buried the
marty in st. Louis Tuesday, and have
reached The conclusion that the saloon ele-
ment knitted Mayor Francis and the entire
LEGAL ticket. As the democrats have twice
saved the saloon and brewing interests OF
tbs state from the wrath of the rural dry
democrats and republicans the knitting Tues
day is put down as the basest treachery.
The sentiment of the dominant party OF the
state is now voiced by the Repub lie. 1t has
opened war on the saloons, and at the COM
ing session of the legislature the prohibit
ion amendment will be submitted, and
there is no question what the result will be.
The state will follow Iowa and Kansas. Ihe
democrats propose to get even, and IN TINS
they hold the winning hand. The majority
OF the party in the state are prohlblnonlsts,
and majority of the republicans believe IN
the same doctrine. FitIy-four OF the La
counties in the state are now controlled by
the '.dry'' element. The saloon men are
shaking with fear and apologizing and deny
1pg in the most humiliating manner the
charge of treachery.

Misplaced Confidence.

BRIDGEPORT, Conn.,, November 12.-Miles
A. French and his wife, Nellie, were arrested
at the depot in this city last night by Pink
erton detectives, as they were about taking
q train for Boston. French has been en-
ployed the last three years by the Bridge
port Copper company, his business beng
to extract silver from copper ore. For some
time past he has been carrying on a system
of stealing the silver thus obtained The
company had no means of knowing the ex-
act amount of silver taken from each
ton of ore. which French well knew, and
they trusted to his honesty. When a ton of
ore would exceed the average he would ap-
propriate the excess to his own use. He
soon began to spend money freely and live
far beyond his salary, which caused the firm
to investigate matters. This resulted
in his arrest. He or his wife, or both,
made frequent trips to Boston, to Provi-
dence and to New York. whore they met
agents and disposed of their plunder. When
arrested last night they had ABOUT LOCO
worth of silver in bars. 1t is thought that
French has stolen from $4,000 to $1,000
in this manner.

Baby'S Toilet.

Every mother knows how difficult it
is to clean the baby's fingersails. By
folding some tissue paper into sharp
point, and, when using it, calling the
attention of the baby to something
else, this simple task can be easily per-
formed. The paper is SO soft that it
does not hurt the tender flesh, yet it is
sufficiently firm to remove every par
ticle of dirt. My children sometimes
CRY when taken out of water, but never
when they are put in. think it is be-
cause they have such good frolic in
the bath that they dislike to leave it.
The tub should be but half full of wa
ter, and should be placed on two chairs
or low stand, for there is danger of
draughts if it is put on the floor. Set
it before an open fire if possible, and
see that the baby's clothes are warm
and well aired before putting them on.
In winter, when giving a very young
infant bath, it is best to wrap it in q
large piece of old flannel, and then nut
the baby into the water gradually.
without removing the flannel until II
has been in the tub for a minute or
two. The water should be lukewarm.
Always wash the baby's head, face.
mouth, and tongue thoroughly before
putting it into the tub, and give it a
teaspoonful of cool water to drink. If.
possible, let the hour for feeding come
directly after the bath, and then the.
baby is ready for the long morning
nap. When the child is old enough to.
sit up in the tub alone, it is always
well to let it have some toy to take into
the bath, such as tiny rubber doll or
animal, or little wooden OF, uaper

sired the acquaintance of an intelligent
lady with a view to matrimony. The wo-
man who made the charge, after an inter.
view with Newman, refused to press 1t, but
the police held him under suspicion to swat
further investigation. They have already
found that he was ordained as a Methodist
minister in Maine about dozen years ago,
and that subsequently he was transferred to
New Jersey. It has elso been ascertained
that under the names of DeHugbes, Noble
and st. Clair, be has been married to wo-
men in Philadelphia, jackson, Tenn, AID
Indianapolis, and in Wisconsin. The Pc.
lice found in Newman's room a number of
letters from young girls and women of this
city, filled with expressions of the most pas
eionate admiration for Newman. They
hope to get some of his former wives to
testify against him and convict him OF

the extreme views of Henry Wattersen upon
the tariff question he found practically de-

approved of the little band of msdiocrity
which, under the presidents orders, con-
trolled the tariff question in the campaign;
he disapproved of the president's civil serv-
ice policy. After the nomination he disap-
proved of tho composition of the national
executive committee, and of the men whom
Cleveland had placed in charge of the cam

changes In the plan of the campaign, only
to be ignored in the end. Ee entertained no
bitterness over the fact that the views he
held, gained from his long experience, but
calmly looked forward to the inevitable les

MILLS ON TIE SITUATION.

The Views Of the Texas statesman upon
the Democratic Defeat.
CoRs1cANA, TEX, November 10.-Roger
@. Mills though disappointed is not dis
coura2ed. He Gays he attributes Cleveland's
defeat IN New York to trades and deals in
New York city and in the state between the
friends of Hill and the republicans. He
says: "The tariff question had not bad
effect on our party in New York or any
where else in the north. The vote in New
Jersey, great MANUFACTURER state, shows
this. think that in the future or at least
for some years to come, we will have to
come west for our presidential candidates.
The struggle for the control of the muni-
cipal government of New York has always
been at the expense of the national ticket,
and the debauchery incidental to practically
allowing the mixed population of q great
city to control it in great national contest
is not healthy. Our next presid initial con-
d;date must be from the west, and he must
be representative of the bone and sinew of
the democratic people of the country. The
democratic party has it in its power to
make enough western states reliably demo-
cratic, 30 that 1t will not be of much lmpor-
lance which way the vote of New York
goes in national issue. We must 60 on
without halt. It is our mission to reduce
tariff taxation and remove the burden of
the people. We will continue the fight for
tariff reform until the next presidential cleo
ton and then again force the issue. The
defeat of Cleveland will have no effect on
the policy of the party on the tariff quss-
ton"
do you think Cleveland's political career
will end the 4th of March,"
"I'm not 80 shure of that. He has q
strong hold on the affairs, the affection and
confidence of the people, and he may be
forced to take the democratic presidential
nomination in 1892. One thing is certain,
can be nominaten by the democrats"

GROSS FRAUDS CHARGED.

State Health Officer Cochran Denounces
New Decatur's Appeal for Aid.
MEMPHIS, TENN, November 9.-The fol-
lowing has been received by the Associated
press from Decatur, Ala:
''It is we'll that generous public should
know something more of the sort of destltu-
ton that prevails in New Decatur. Ten days
ago Mayor Frye stated that they were feed
ing 600 INDECENT whites and 600 INDECENT
blacks. Our actual census, taken few
weeks ago, showed that the total population
of New Decatur was less than 500, so it seems
they are feeding twice as many people as
the total population of the town. This may
be all right, but hardly think the good peo-
Die who have sent contributions to New De-
catur contemplated such wholesale and
wasteful charity. In the meantime New
Decatur has had no yellow fever, her stores
have been open, country produce has been
brought in, and her industries have not
been suspended. In addition to this the
cotton fields are white with the pearly staple
and hands cannot be had to pick it. Why
should anybody work when all ars fed free
of charge? And they propose to keep this
up all winter, as they state in their appeal
to Chicago. It is the most shameful abuse
of public charity ever heard of. No doubt
they can find people to take all they can fad
to give them, and no doubt these people
will be quite ready to certify in very strong
terms that the help was very badly needed.
The poor we have always with US. but am
sure there is thousand times more suffer
ing right now in Chicago than there is in
New Decatur, and these New Decatur peo-
pie have all the word before them where to
choose their place of work. It will be easy
to assert that this statement of mine is
tissue of Misrepresentation, but, all the
ia | a.
specially recommend to the attention of
the Rev. DR.. Gwin the careful reading of
the first four verses of the sixth chapter of
the gospel according to st. Matthews.

so a petition signed by other voters
calling upon him to issue certificates
according to the returns anu citing
him to the law on the point, Judge

the matter yesterday and issued the
the certificates, but A. IL. Anderson,
by his attorney Harry Ferguson, filed
m'ndamus proceedings in the Com
mon Pleas Court demanding a re-
count and asking that the certificate
Issued to DAbney be issued to him
