Georgia has ten representatives in
the present congress. The total vote
cast for these ten members was D.
COG and but l, 800 votes were recorded
against them.
Kansas sends seven representatives
to congress, with 251, 81 votes. Miss
issippi sends the same number with
1867 votes. In South Carolina, Al
ALBANIA and other southern states the
conditions are about the same as in
Georgia and Mississippi.
In other words" says the Oregon
ian the south gets its representa-
ton in congress and in the electoral
college on the basis of a large pOpu-
latiOn whose vote is suppressed, CO.
creed or thrown out of the count.
Thus 1873 votes in the electoral college
are assured to the democratic party
without another effort than that re-
quired to write the certificates of
election. Forty-eight more in the
north would give Cleveland another
term. In the Louisiana election of
April last the governor issued orders
to cOerce or fabricate democratic ma
jOrities, and when Ingalls, in the SEN
ate denounced the astounding spur
ious majority that was produced,
Senator Eustis arose and insOlently
told HIM, 1t is none of your business.
That is, the south by suppression of
the ballot and burlesque of the bal
lot box steals 80 additional members
Of congress and imposes a fore quar-
ter of democratic beef on the coun-
try for president.

a stauch and life long Democrat In
his letter he says: Indiana is wild
with enthusiasm for Harrison and
Morton, and VIII go republican this
year by from 5000 to 10000 major

This IS partly on the account of state

The San Francisco CaU discusses
Harrison on the Chinese question in
a long editorial, and says that there
Is no reason why he should lose a re
publican vote on the Pacific slope.
Certainly not. When Harrison voted
on the Chinese bill the Burlingame
treaty was IN force and he, as a law
yer, knew that the bill was in conflict
with the treaty. His position was.
that legislation on this subject should
wait until the treaty was abrOgated.

The LeavenwOrth Times of a late
date stated, in effect, that the passen-
ger division station on the G. K. & n.
had been changed from Phillipsburg
to Norton. This is an error. The
division was intended to be at Phil
lipsburg from the start; the round
house has been built here, a nam
moth well sunk and the president of
the road caused a statement to be
published that both passenger and
freight division was to be at this
place permanently. Ever since last
fall, freight trains were made up here
and engines were changed, but the
passenger trains ran from Fairbury
to Norton till two weeks ago, owing
to the fact that the road was not yet
finished to the next division west-tO
Goodland. When the road was Op-
ened to GOodland, 141 miles west of
PhiIlipsburg, then Phillipsburg be-
came in fact the division is, all
passenger engines and crews change
at this place. The Times was wholly
IN error and we hope will make the
proper correction. We presume that
the writer in that paper meant that
the temporary division had been
changed from Norton to Phillipsburg
where it is to be permanently.

A Cyclone at Hastings, Nebraska.
The Hastings Gazette-JournaI Of
July 18th gives a column account of
the cyclone that struck that city on
the 18th instant. We make the fol-
lowing extracts:
At about two o'clock a dense bank
Of heavy black clouds began to form
IN the north and In a short time a
brisk breeze sprang up from that
direction. The breeze soon became
a strong wind and IN a short time the
wind turned into a gale. At four
o'clock the air was full Of fine flying
snow and IN comparative short
space OF time 1t was impossible to see
across the street. The temperature
had fallen
ONE HUNDRED AND TWENTY-FIVE DE-
GREEs
inside of two hours. Of course bust
ness was entirely suspended. Neither
man nor beast could live twenty min
utes IN the binding storm of snow
and sIeet that prevailed over three
hours. At five o'clock the whole city
was covered with snow, sleet and ice
to a depth of eighteen inches and the
great velocity of wind, together with
THE INTENSE COLD
made it dangerous to appear outside
of doors. X
The scene which met the reporters
eye as he emerged upon the streets,
clad in buffalo OvercOat, bear skin cap
and Arctics, challenged description.
The streets were blocked with
GREAT DRIFTS OF SNOW.
At the corner of the Kerr opera
house the snow was drifted to depth
Of eight feet, while the drifts in front
Of the Commercial hotel and the post
Office were equally as deep. The tele-
graph and electric light wires looked
like great ropes of snowy hemp and
in many places had given way under
the weight of the snow and sleet
which encountered them. Street
travel was entirely suspended, as it
was almost impossible for horses to
force their way through the snow
drifts.
All trains are snow bound. The B.
& M. sent three snow plOws out to-
day, while the other roads sent out
one each. Hastings is not likely to
have any mails until Saturday. e
Ali the telephone and telegraph
wires are down. 1t was the greatest
storm ever known in Nebraska. No
lives We're lost as far as known. Of
course the crops are entirely destroy

There are a good many Union La
Dor men in Phillips county who will
vote for HARRIsON and MORTON. That

accomplish nothing by third party
movement now, and the Republicans

The period of intense summer heat
IS upon us. We are likely to have it
for at least thirty days, during which
people should exercise extraordinary
care both as regards eating and drink
ing. The system is rapidly depleted
during these intense hot days and the
exhaustion which follows makes thirst
almost intOlerable. Iced drinks, ice
cream and cold beverages are what
we crave and yet experience tell US
they are our deadliest foes. They
congest the stomach, infame the
bowels and produce dysentery with
attendant diseases. The poor child
rem come in for a good degree of all
this trouble. Ignorant parents per-
NIT them to drink cold water till chOl-
era infantum results. The mortality
among children is something fearful
to contemplate during the months of
July and August. A good degree of
care must be exercised In their diet
and drinks if they would be saved
from the diseases to which they are
incident. Over half the deaths which
occur in childhood are chargeable
directly to the lack of Judgment in

Guilford's Scandal Case.

The trial of the Benton ys Starr case was continued yesterday in the court of common pleas, New Haven, before Judge Bradstreet. Deacon Starr was on the stand and was cross-examined by the plain tltf's counsel. He stuck tenaciously to his denial that he was responsible in any way for Fanny Benton's ruin. He admitted that he had been somewhat intimate with the Benton family before improper rela- tions with Fanny were alleged and had ceased to be on such good terms with them shortly afterward. Counsel for the plain tiff tried to examine the witness as to his soliciting secret meetings with women, but this line of examination was ruled out by court. Donald Mcintyre, foreman of the button shop, testified that the French man, Alex St Marc, had visit ed Fanny at the shop several times. He had twitted Fanny on this seeming intimacy Several other witnesses gave unimportant testi mony.

Among the things we do not do is this Never annoy people, who are not but are willing to accord all a fair valuation in the market. Neither do we have one price to of fer and another to sell by, as in the case of the Shonnger Piano offered for $50 by J M Kellogg, whO when the sum was rendered him refused it on the plea that some one in the country had
 promised to look at it in the future. Shoninger
 Pianos being in such demand, and his supply linn ited, with poor chances of duplication, sug- gest. may have been the reason; although the fact remains that one minute 1t was for sale and the next it not The public left to judge of the business integrity of such dealings Lastly we manage our own business honestly, fairly and le- gitimately; pay dollar for dollar promptly; fur nish our own Bank Vaults for Leases taken from Installment Customers without the aid of Sher- ifs to collect the same. Thirty years standing before the people as Company, is sufficient guarantee of our stability. Those Shoninger New Style Upright Pianos elegant in design and finish.
