He Has no ApoIogists Even Among
the Republicans in Indiana.
INDIANAPOLIS, Nov. 1.-THE Feder-
al Grand Jury have returned two in
dictments against violators of the cleo
tion laws, and adjourned till December.
The Federal election laws do not pro-
vide for punishment for cases Of at
tempted bribery. and some two hun
dred cases that have been reported un-
der this head will he sent back to be
tried in the escape of many who are no
doubt guilty.
Among the first cases to be investi
gated when the grand jury rec0nvenes
is that of w. w. Dudley, treasurer of
the National Republican Committee.
1t is claimed that additional evidence
has been received showing that each
county chairman in the State received
such letter as that published.
Even the Republicans have ceased to
defend Dudley, and the Instructions of
Judge W,mdS to the grand jury have
convinced every me that he believes
Dudley guilty, and the Republicans
generally have settled drwn to the same
opinion

WASHINGTON, Nov. l7.-Senator
Quay, chairman of the Republican
Nationel Committee, authorizes the fol-
lowing statement of the situation in the
lower branch of the next Congress:
1--WE have the House of Representa-
tives by u majority of five certainly,
and possibly by nine on the official
count OF congressional districts.
AS to the Democratic threats that
Democratic Governors of States will re-
fuse to certify the election of Republi-
cans to the Clerk of the House, and he
will refuse to place our people on the
roll, we do not care what the Demo-
cratic Governors or the Clerk of the
House may do. Thay are not dealing
with children and old women.
1.-THE Republican party will hold
with a mailed hand all that it fairly
won on Nov. 81
Matt Quay's utterances, ever since
the election, have been characteristic of
the bully, and this last declaration, if
not incendiary, comes very near it. 1t
would be too much to say that the at
titude of this booted and spurred politi-
cal dragon is approved by the respec-
table portion of his party; but since he
was chosen by the party to command
their forces in the Presidential contest,
they cannot, if they continue silent,
escape certain responsibility for it.
There has never been the shadow of
a warrant for Quay's assumption that
the Democrats intend or desire to take
any unfair advantage. So long as the
number of Congressional districts re-
naming in doubt are sufficient, if car
rIed by the Democrats, to give Demo-
cratic majority in the House, the con-
troll of the House is in doubt. And this
is the situation so far. According to the
latestfi CURES received by the clerk of the
House, l60 Democrats and $50 Republi-
cans have been elected. Six districts
are in doubt. They are the First Cali
fornia, Tenth Kentucky, Second North
Carolina, and the First, Third and
Fourth of West Virginia. Advices
from Kenna, chairman of the Demo-
cratic Congressional Committee, says
that all these districts but one in Cali
fornia have s.J GetIrged R4sReGFats, #
ty of five at least.
The tone of Quayis authorized state
ment is very like that of the men who
engineered the Presidential steal twelve
years ago, and it might fairly warrant
the suspicion that he contemplated
initiating their revolutionary tactics
clear through. Democrats will remem-
ber that he is q silent schemer. During
the whole Presidential campaign he
scarcely opened his mouth to any out
side of his associates on the committee.
1t is only when he feels that he has q
desperate case that he permits himself
to speak in the manner recorded above.
But whether it is a bluff to frighten
Democrats or deliberate declaration
of purpose, his party, for its own hon.
or, ought to lay its "mailed hand" on
him.

A Woman's Curiosity.

Some time ago, says Chicago paper,
there appeared in local paper an item
to the effect that if a woman saw par
agraph cut from a newspaper in her
house she would not rest until she pro-
cured another paper to see what had
been cut out. a young man egged on
by his brother, cut out the paragraph
referred to, and he had the satisfaction
of-saains his VITA hustle fnr, another
copy of the same edition. That IS a
woman's curiosity. If any man cuts
out this paragraph and gives his wife
the paper she will certainly go to the
nearest news stand and buy another
copy to see what he scissors have done.

Sugar From Sorghum.

The United States government will
expend a hundred thousand dollars
more in the attempt to develop the in-
dustry of making sugar from sorghum.
The Rural is glad to note all such eff
forts, for this country can unquestiona-
bly, produce its own sweets, for which
it now sends so much money to foreign
producers. In our sugar making enter
prises, however, we seemed to have
been doomed to degree of misfortune
that has discouraged private capital,
and the government shows wisdom in
lending helping hand. Other govern
ments have done this greatly to their
advantage and the prosperity Of their
people. That sugar can be profitably
made from sorghum and the sugar
beet we firmly believe, and it only re-
quires the assistance of the general
government to determine the fact and
point out the way FFester7t RurdI.

want is not a defense or vindication OF
States rights doctrine. but a serious
assault on the principle Of local SOW
ereignty and autonomy.
If we would maintain local self
government in independent States, we
must take care that ground be not
afforded for just criticism of the home
rule principle, by insisting on an APP
plication ofthe local government theory
so unfair as to do injustice between To-
calities and prevent the people from
carrying out their will in the compost

The RattIesnako Exterminator.
Lake George Cor. Albany Jou1nal.l


Isaac Davis, of Hague, who in four
years has killed upward of ] 400 rattle
snakes, and who last fall at the county
fairs of this vicinity was the first to
handle rattlesnakes in public exhi-
billions, recently killed four monster
rattlesnakes near Sabbath Day Point.
Thisyear he has killed upward of 400, for
which he has been paid bounty of -
cents per snake. He makes rattlesnake
hunting, catching, and exhibiting his
business, and is paid $50 a month during
the season by property owners about
Hague for killing snakes in aid of thier
determination. He is believed to be the
only man in the world following this
occupation. He is an intelligent man,
fond of reading, of quiet demeanor and
gentle disposition. His friends ap-
prehend that he will meet his death
some day in handling these reptiles,
but the business seems to have q fas-
cination outside of the remuneration it
affords him. He always carries with
him remedy in case he should be
bitten, but does not feel any special con-
fidence in its efficacy. He is man of
forty-five, and killed his first snake be-
fore he was six years old, but never went
into regular snake hunting until four
years ago. His father before him was the
famous snake hunter, mint" Davis,
who used to kill them for the oil to sell to
druggists. The old man is said to have
been bitten several times by snakes and
to have cured himself by use of "rattle-
snake weed" 1t used to be standing
joke about the lake that when a rattle
snake bit old mint" Davis it was the
snake that was poisoned to death. The
old man certainly seemed to have no
more fear of rattlesnakes than a child
had of kitten.

1t will be seen that Hill received 49,
$40 more votes than Cleveland received,
while Miller ran 1861 votes behind
Harrison. It does not appear from this
that Hill was elected at the expense OF
Cleveland, but that he was elected by
the aid Of Republican votes taken
away from Miller. That is. these 49,
651 votes were Republican votes cast
for Hill because,of his position on the
high license question, and cast for Har-
rison because that issue was not in the
presidential contest. This explains
why Hill was elected and Cleveland
beaten at the same time.- Pain Dealer.

NEW YORK, Nov. 13.-The old ques-

dental office at eight years. and render

second term, has again been brought to
the front and is exciting much discus
sion. The Herald devotes a whole page
to the subject. Depew favors the pro-
ject, saying that elections cost too much
money at the present day, and also in
terferes sadly with the business of the
country.

believing that it is the time to
talk, and as we have something
to say of vast Importance, we
wish all to lend a hearing ear.
But before we come down to
business, and the convincing
proof that it is a paying invest
ment to call upon us, we wish
to relate a little incident. A
friend of ours, who is a locomo-
tive engineer, says that our
competitors remind him of an
engine, stalled on an up grade;
they puff and blow, but they
can't get to the top. That is
the whole story, he says, you
get there every time! An old
proverb says: Taste the pud-
ding for it is chuck full of plums,
and the proof of the pudding is
in the eating thereof. Now, we
are chuck full of good things for
those in need, and who is not
in need, and we save you mon
ev every time.
This is just the season of the
year to pick up bargains with
us, and even if you do not wish
to use the goods now, it will
pay you to lay them by until
you do. Our wall paper de-
partment is not thinned out by
any means, being full of nice
stylish patterns OF ceiling and
side decorations, which we are
selling at prices which cannot
be duplicated in the wholesale
markets at present. These goods
were bought or contracted for
before the recent raise in the
price Of wall paper, and we are
selling them to our customers
at no advance. Think OF it, you
can make your room comforta-

never again be so low, We also
have a full line of window shades

Our drugs and medicines are
fresh, as no stale goods are kept
on hand. In connection with
all necessary remedies for the
human body we also have rem

HOW GLOVES ARE MADE.
An American Industry Which Con peses With France and England.

An American Industry Which Com.
 peses With France and England.
 The manufacture of gloves is not by any means of recent date; but the ancient use of this article of dress was rare and occasional, whereas the modern use is common and al- most universal Leather, when prepared for this purpose, undergoes much lighter dressing than when prepared for any other article of commerce. France has long been celebrated for its glove manufactories, but New York has now become recognized as strong competitor. The first operation in glove making is to stretch on a piece of mar ble and render uniform with blunt knife the surface of the skin of which the gloves are to be made, after which it is to be re- dueed into pieces of convenient length and width, without cutting the material to waste.
 Before cutting, however, the skin is damp ened either by rubbing it with a wet cloth or by putting it in a damp place. It is then sounded and examined with view to the discovery of faults or blemishes, so that they may be avoided in cutting out, or at least that they may be so placed as to be un- important. There are regular scales of sizes for mems and women's gloves and for the width of the thumb pieces, which are cut out at the same time and are proportioned to the particular size required. In order to cut the skin to the best advantage it is stretched from time to time by pulling it at the edges, between the thumb and the knife. When it AtaS 0coA 1Aub oIouS6k00 aA0 WAuSAcA sAc dc~ tual cutting process commences. Here it is that the American glove makers have great advantage over the English and French. In cutting up dozen skins of equal size, an American will generally manage to get one or two pairs of gloves over and above the number which an Englishman or Frenchman can cut from the same skins, and these not inferior or scanty, but well and handsomely shaped as the rest. The shape of the gloves to be cut is not the only thing to be attended to; great care must be taken that the same shade of color prevails throughout each pair, for it frequently happens that there are clou- dy spots and gradations of color to the skin, which would be destructive of beauty and good effect. The skin thus cut is in order now to be sewed, and the machine used is of peculiar pattern, the feed wheel of which Is tipped with a metal comb, through the points of which the needles carry the silk and make an unusually speedy and neat stitch. The glove industry in New York has achieved immense proportions, although quite few French makes are imported; how ever the home article finds ready and in- crAasiyfo sa1A

A STRAW.

MT. Blaine has declined, but at all gather 1itical, his popularity as the next candidate is manifested At the Republican banquet in Music Hall, Waterbury, the other even ing, where about two hundred and fifty rep resentative Republicans were present, the name of MT. Blaine produced more enthusi- asm than any other. Hon. Lynde Harrison of this city responded to the sentiment, ''The Nutmeg State in 1888." The follow ing extract from his remarks, printed in the Waterbury Republican, indicates how the names of different candidates are regarded in Waterbury:
 'tThe present contest in Connecticut greatly resembled that of 1860 in that then the Republicans of this State had no decided preference for their candidates. They were ready to heartily support any of the able men then in the canvass: To-day it was much the same. Connecticut Republicans have confidence that the deliberations of the Chicago convention will be wise, and that candidate will be given them filter than any man that the Democrats can name, one who will take the government from the hands of the present incapable administ1a- tion and make it respected at home and
 
 great financier of Ohio (applause), or Har- rison, or Allison, or Gresham, or whether they come east and select Platt or Hawley (applause) or whether they go over to New York and take Chauncey Depew (great ap- plause), or failing in all these they appeal to that greet man, dearer to the hearts of the masses than any other in the country, and persuade James G. Blaine (prolonged applause and cheers) to become it's candidate, Connecticut Republicans will loyally support the candidates of that con- vention and do their utmost to give them the electoral vote of the State"
 The Waterbury American says the name of Blaine brought out heavy applause, and that Depsw seemed to be the second choice of those assembled. As MT. Blaine never had any earnest support for the nominatier from the Naugatuck valley in either 1876 1880, or 1884, the change of sentiment ir Waterbury is significant.
