Savannah News, Feb ST.
1t has been understood for some time that the
canvass for the new City Directory was develop
ing large increase in the: population, and the
completion and consolidation of the returns has
been looked forward to with much interest by

prosperity.

expectations of the most sanguine.

THE IDEA of the Prohibitionists carry
ing a city in Missouri is somewhat
startling, yet our dispatches tell US that
on Wednesday the cold water people
actu Sly won the election in Inde-
pendence, and proclaimed that a tenn
perance town for four years at least.
The explanation, however, is given in
the telegram. The girls appeared at
the polls carrying banners with the
strange device: Temperance Beaus, or
No Beaus." These settled the bust
ness. The fun of beauing a Missouri
girl is enough to induce Missouri
young man even to forego his whisk Y
great as is his love for the latter. A

THE OFFICIAL returns from the
Oregon election show that as usual the
Republicans were somewhat extrava-
CANT in their claims and assertions
Immediately following the voting. II
seems impossible for the throughgoing
Republican to be content and satisfied
with the truth. The figures from the
election are now at hand, and they place
the Republican plurality at 7 ,407 and
the majority at 5,433, in total vote of
60,207. This is not such an over
whelming victory as We were led to
expect by the first reports, and is not
as great triumph as the Republicans
had the right to look for, considering
the Canvass they had made and the
character of the immigration to Oregon
during the past few years. The party
has nothing to crow about in this
petty majority; rather should it be
anxious to retain the State in the
Republican column where it has so long
stood

AN INTERESTING CASE.

The telegraph failed, the other day,
to bring from Washington a certain
piece of news which would have in
terested good many people in this city,
the matter relating to certain lady
who was for some time an esteemed
resident of Salt Lake-Miss Lena
Garter, sister of the late well known
lawyer of that name. 1t will be re-
Numbered that after leaving this city
Miss Carter, with other members of
the family, took up their residence in
Washington, and that few years ago
her friends here were startled and
panied to read that she was involved in
a scandal with Major Nickerson, of the
army, who fed to avoid severe action
an the part of the military authorities.
The United States Supreme Court, just
before its adjournment the other day,
decided a case which brought the story
of the Nickersons and Miss Carter again
before the public.
Eighteen years ago, in Portland,
Oregon, Major Nickerson met charm
ing lady whose home was in San Fran
cisco, and proposed marriage to
her, at the same time promising
to convey to her certain valuable
real estate in that city. The lady
accepted, and wrote to her mother in
San Francisco, but the latter refused
her consent; finally, however, she was
prevailed upon to yield, and the mar
riage took place. The marriage was
thoughs to be a happy one, and in 1880,
Nickerson sent his wife to Europe, rep
resenting to her that he could support
her there at less cost than in this coun-
try, and that 1t would be more ad7an-
tageous to their daughter. The wife
had no sooner gone than the Major
went to Philadelphia, acquired a resi-
dence, and, in 1888, obtained divorce
without the knowledge of his wife, two
days afterwards marrying Lena Carter.
His lawyer was then directed to convey
the Portland property to the Carter wo-
man.
When Mrs. Nickerson got news of the
proceedings she returned from Europe,
and it was then that the Major secreted
himself, and the scandal broke forth.
The wife at once instituted suit to set
aside the divorce on the ground of
fraud and perjury and the court
promptly gave judgment in her favor.
She then brought suit against Nicker.

twenty years that law was IN the books
with NO more force than the fly

ago, being still in control of
the Federal government, the statute

accordance with Republican wishes, and
yet polyga my was practiced openly and
thrived amazingly. Only after Demo-
crst had been elected President was any
earnest effort put forth to enforce Re
publican statutes and redeem Repub-
lican pledges. In the light of the history
of the party from the first, on this
question, the man who would vote the
Republican ticket because the Repub-
Hcans promise to stamp out polygamy,
would, if he were a prohibitionist, vote
a saloon keepers ticket with the ex-
pectation of suppressing the traffic in

HIS VULNERABLE POINTS.

The Republicans are becoming des-
perate in their efforts to find vulnerable
points in the armor of Judge Thur
man. They have never tefore been
confronted by a candidate who was
strong everywhere, and who did not
care from which direction he was at
tackled. 1t is all one to Thurman, and
to the people, it being impossible to
make the latter believe that the "Old
Roman" is not lncorruptible and above
reproach. The first charge, that he
was a copperhead and rebel sympa-
thizer, fell fat, nobody taking any stock
in such an accusation against q man
who had ever shown himself a patriot,
devoted to the preservation and well
fare OF his country. The people sneered
with disgust at the venomous depraVity
of those who stopped to utter such vii
famous SANDER. So also was treated
the awful discovery by the foul
tongued Foraker. that Mrs. Thurman
had actually sent from her table some
daintles to the Confederate prisoners
confined in Camp Chase. This was
such a terrible offense that some Re-
publican editors, whose hearts were not
quite as full of gall as as their fellows,
actually praised the kind-hearted lady
for her humane deed.
Every thing else having failed, now
comes the declaration that Judge
Thurman is guilty not only of buying
English-made handkerchiefs, but of
using Scotch snuff. offenses which the
protectionists and the nti-tobacconists
are asked to resent by voting the Re-
publican ticket. The Chicago Inter.
Ocean seriously asks:
Is the use of tobacco in any fora an
| evidence OF craftsmanship? Are Scotch
snuff and an English bandana proof of
| patriotism? 1t is hardly possible that this
disgusting folly should long continue. When
| once the Republican convention has done
its work and the fight begins in earnest

| nation The radical difference between the
| two parties amounts to something more
than a pinch of snuff, and the political for

If these awful accusations continue
it must be apparent to all that the &. o.
p. will gain great acquisitions from the
Democratic party, and will sweep the
country next November like cyclone.

That night the pistol, with powder,
shot and percussion caps, was snugly
slowed away under the planks. The
next few days were rainy, and when
the boys again met to examine their
possessions, they found their property
greatly damaged.
The powders just good for nothing,
Franz declared, greatly disgustod;
"and the metal is corroded; here we
haven't fired a shot, and our pistols
ruined"

and make an end of the whole thing"
The others easily assented, anxious
to rid themselves of their troubles ONE

cussion caps were quietly dropped in
to the pond, but the pistol received
severer treatment; each boy success
sively tried his strength upon it with
heavy stone, and the fragments were
left a monument of blighted hopes.

Mr.. Carter was grieved and shocked,
and yet gratified that his son possessed
the courage to confess his fault.
You have been acting a cowardly

at last shown the courage of q true
soldier; henceforth be loyal to truth,

course with decision. The world is in

they are the worlds best heroes"
The history of the pistol is fresh in

THIEVES BY BIRTH,


1.-TWO skilled detectives agree in tbo
theory that the disease known as Klein
tomania does not exist. when a rich
woman steals fifty dollars. worth Of
goods she has kleptomania, said one
of them, and when a poor woman
steals fifty cents worth of bread to
feed her starving children she is a
thief. Show me paupcr with a real
bad attack of kleptomania,' and will
believe that there is such disease, for.
if there is, why should not the poor be
as susceptible to it as the rich? Nv
impression at present is that people
are bern thieves, as they are born
musicians or singers-it is a gift.
though a deplorable one, and is as-
companied by great cunning and sage.
ity. Another fact which disproyes
the kleptomania theory is that never
in my experience of many years have
any goods been returned or paid for by
the friends of people afflicted with this
imaginary malady; it is only when dis
covered stealing that they and all their
friends call them kleptomaniacs. When
a woman comes in here and buys u
new bonnet and walks off bold with it
on her head without paying for it, or
takes a waterproof off figure and puts
it on herself before us ALL | know she
is victim of mental alteration and
treat her accordingly. IT, however.
there are kleptomaniacs, one of the
best known remedies for them is found
in a police court-it is almost q sure
cure Many rich women who have
large accounts at stores, and are APP
parently unlimited as to money will
take twenty-five cent articles surrep-
titiously if they can. and the clerks
make up the deficit in their bills or ac-
counts. A wagon load of goods was
recovered in the house of a rich woman
by one firm, the goods being slowed
away under the servant girls bed, and
never having been used or cut into.
But the popularity among rich shop
lifters lies in the cheapness of the arlI-
cles they pilfer, which would signify q
rather diseased mental condition and a
desire simply to steal. IN J. Sun
