THE PROHTRITION VOTE.

The prohibitionists are ftalking big" and
If the votes come out in accordance with their
talk they will have reason to feel encouraged.
But there are not few indications that the
big talk will not be justified by the result.
Indeed, there is reason to think that the vote
of the prohibition party has reached its max
imum and is even now on the decline.
Some figures compiled by the Boston
Traveller are very interesting. Up to 1886
there had been for several years steady in
crease in the vote polled by the prohibition
party. In 1880, 9,679 ballots were cast for
the prohibition presidential candidate, while
in 1884 they were increased to $50, ,626. In
1856 in a fewer number of States voting, the
Prohibitory aggregate was 151 ,233, and in
1886 it amounted to 294, 1858. In that year,
however, 1t seems the third party prohibi-
tory tide reached high water mark. The
total votes of the States for candidates of the
party dropped to 154, 465 in 1887, and there
is further decrease in State elections thiA
year as compared with 1886. True, fewer
States voted in 1887 than in the year pre-
ceeding, and this fact should be borne in
mind when making q comparison by totals
for the whole country. OF the ten States
voting in 1887, however, which had an cleo
ton in 1886, seven-Towa, Maryland, Michi-
gan, Nebraska, New Jersey, Pennsylvania
and Rhode Island-showed falling off in
1887, and only three-Massachusetts New
York and ohio-revealed gain. The de-
crease in 1888, also, from the vote of two
years ago, counting the States which have
had elections this year, indicates that the
falling of in 1887 was not merely accidental
or temporary, but that it marked the begin
ming of a steady and permanent decline in
the prohibition strength

clusively that of the individual members,
and nothing, take it, can be clearer than
that the parties to sale of property have an
absolute right to keep the facts and details
of that transaction to themselves and to de-
ny any information relating thereto to all
the world, and that there is no power in the
courts under our constitution to compel
them to make the same public. So that in
all the business transactions on the floor of
the Exchange between its members there is
no public service and no public duty and no
obligation rests upon any of the members of
the Exchange to make known any of the
details of their transactions with other mem
bers, and that with respect to sales of bonds,
stocks and securities there Is the same im-
munity from public inspection as exists in
all branches of mercantile business.
The Tribune's account of 'fthe revolt from
free trade" throughout the State of New York
has made quite stir, for it indicates that
Cleveland will not be able to carry his own
State. Some OF the facts are very significant.
In Rochester Harrison campaign club has
been formed by f20 veteran soldiers who have
heretofore voted the Democratic ticket In
Monroe county ex-Sheriff Hannah has sflist
of converts that would fill a column" In
wool-growing Steubsn county the correspon-
dent saw list of 130 such names. In one
town of 420 voters. which gave Blaine 40
votes four years ago, the county committees
canvass shows 1913 votes already safe for
Harrison. In Onondaga the revolt against
Cleveland and British political economy iE-
cludes the Syracuse Herald and some of the
strongest local Democratic leaders. In Dutch
ess county the Poughkeepsie Eagle has list
of nearly 100 well known Democrats who are
now committed against Cleveland. The pres
ident of the Troy Republican clab estimates
the detection from Cleveland in that town at
going on 20 per cent of the entire Democratic
voting strength. "The silent Democratic
vote that will be cast against the free trade
platform will surprise everybody" he says.
"You people in New York and elsewhere
have no idea how Troy is stirred over this
tariff ISSUE"

How a Little Trout Helped Joe Gotta
TO Hook Three Large Catfish.


TO HOOK Three Large Catfish.
From the Austin Statesman.
Joe Gotta, one of the tax figure clerks in
the Comptroller's ofica, returned from a
fishing frolio the other day. He had splen-
did luck, and says he caught three twenty
pound cats at one time on a single line with
but one hook. He was quietly fishing for
trout, when he felt quick, sharp pull, in
dicating that a handsome speckled fellow
was fast. He began to pull him in, when
he felt terrific pull at his line, and NOM
ment later there was another and he was al
most jerked into the water. The pull on the
line was very great but it was strong one,
and he began carefully to draw Ii in. Sud
denly there was another powerful lunge at
his line which jerked him spswling to the
ground but he held on and managed to get
half hitch on stump, which fortunately
was close by. There was wild commoti0n
in the water, which Joe says he could not ex-
plain, so he kept the line tied around the
stump until it subsied.
He then drew it carefully ashore and found
that had three cats weighing about twenty
pounds each. They were stung on the lines
through the mouth and gills just as you
would string your catch. And at the end
was lively trout weighing nearly pound.
Joe SAYS that when the trout was 6rst hook
ed three cats must have observed him and
determined to make meal of him, but they
signally failed. He had no idea of being taken
into their capacious maws. He was fast to
the line and could not escape, SO he watched
his opportunity, and, when one of cats would
close dowu his great jaws upon him he would
dart through his gills. He did the other two
the some way, and successfully strung all
three of the yellow cannibals On Joe's line.
Joe says he warded the pluck and skill of the
little trout, who was not injured by return
ing him to the river
Glow did that trout get out through the
glllsf' meskly inquired an incredulous clerk
in the crowd.
"Gentlemen, none of you know anything
about catfish. When be closes his mouth
and brsathes; his gills open, and then 1t was
the trout aid out. Perhaps some of you
know more about this story than do" and
Joe buried his face in his tax papars.

Pathetic Courtsh1Psand Marriages of a
Deafand Dumb Couple
From the Chicago Tribune-l
There was silent wedding last night in
the ladies' parlor at the Grand Pacific.
Champion Buchan who is employed at thePost
Office, and Elsan OF Patten, tall and beauti
full young woman, stood before DIR. Gillette
the Superintendent of the Deaf and Dumb
Asylum at Jacksonville. There were six
bridesmaids, one of whom was SO lovely that
she riveted attention, and the bridegroom
was attended by six young men in immacu-
late frock coats and carnations at their butt
tonhele. The parlor was filed with relatives
and guests. Nobody spoke word. All were
deaf and dumb.
"wheresoever thou goest will CO." said
DR.. Gillette, adding the words of Ruth to the
marriage service.
And the bride, with pretty fond gesture
touched eyes, mouth and heart, and signifed
that she would follow her husband.
"Wheresoever thou abidest will abide" +"
continued the Doctor.
And the bridegroom, taking the brides
hand in his promised with sign that he
would cleave to her.
'sThe Lord do so to me and more" said
Dr.. Gillette, IL aught but death part me and
and thee"
Tine VOW was MADE with quick, loving
movements OF hands and eyes; the bridegroom
slipped the ring upon the brides finger, and
SO without uttering word they were map
and wife.
And then the congratulations began. The
silent guests made rush for the bride.
They kissed her, they cried over her. Their
hands kept futtering around the region of
their hearts as though saying that, on this
occasion, their heart alone could speak.
A pretty dumb boy of four was brought by
his mother to the bride. He clenehed his
chubby fists and stamped his little feet and
went through panromine expressive of un-
bonded love and good will. Thr bride did
not answer him with signs. She stopped
and kissed him and tear fell upon his curis.
fIt is one of the rare romanees which have
touched our life, /" said DR.. Gillette. "These
young folks met at the institution, they WOO

Sportsmen from. the East and citizens of
of the Territory as well are very much inter-
ested in the report brought here to-day to
the effect that herd of fifty bufa!oes were
seen sixty miles north of here last week, on
the bank of the Missouri River. John White
side, a hunter who arrived here to-day says
that he saw the herd and killed one of the
animals. While the animals were stamped
ing to the river for water, Whiteside narrow
ly escaped being caught in a narrow ravine
and tramped upon by the thirsty beasts
The buffaloes swan the4xiver and started in
a northwesterly direction from the western
bank. This is the first herd seen in Dakota
for over five years, and it is supposed that
they have been driven from the Northwest
Territory by hunters. A large number of
settlers have started in pursuit in hopes of
capturing the big game.

EDITORIAL NOTES.

Mr.. Blaine's refusal to engage in a contro-
versY over Roscoe Conkling's grave is not
oensured even by the most rabid Blaine
haters.
1t really begins to look as If there were no
wheat in the country. But when the Chicago
spectators have made or lost money enough
there will probably be wheat enough to go
around.
This administration makes q great parade
of reform and economy. but the government
is costing about 50, ,000, 900 more per month,
or $24, 900, 900 per year, than under the last
Republican administration.
The new Russian ironclad Emperor Nicho-

inoh guns in turret, four inch guns and
eight 6-inch pieces, beside fourteen Hotchkiss
mitrailleuses It's speed is expected to attain
fifteen knots.
There are parts of the South which do not
look as solid as they did. The Memphis Ava
lanche warns everybody concerned that the
Democratic majority in Tennessee "has been
cut down to such point that 1t will be dan
gerous to build much on It," and that it will
need steady pull altogether to take that
State out OF the "doubtful" column. There
is also growing uneasiness about Florida,
in view of the wholesale flight from the yell
low fever.
