Wholesale Fraud Exposed.

AS the the Gubernatorial contest
committee approaches the end Of
its labor, the dastardly frauds grow
more and more palpable. There
have been 1873 illegal Republican
votes proven in Mercer county,
alone. We have it from good
authority that if Fleming's attornies
could now file a supplemental notice,
they could prove from twenty-five
hundred to three thousand Illegal
votes, Even this enormous num-
Der of fraudulent votes is not all, for
it is not all prababIe that all could
be possibly ferretted out. Mounds

tering degree of success. The pro-
duct Of West Virginia dairies has
already begun to attract attention
in the market. The creamery
company IN Greenbrier county re-
ceived and used over 5000 pounds
of milk daily during July, while
the Charleston creamery shipped
1900 pounds of butter during the
same month Other Establishments

West Virginia farmers cannot
engage in a more profitable bust
mess who're they have proper facili-
ties for it. The investment is not
necessarily large, and the risk
small. while the returns are larger
than can possibly be obtained from
simply cropping their lands. The
RkqIsTER has repeatedly urged
these points. West Virginia has
all the natural advantages of a
great dairy State, and it would
repay her people to develop them.

The Agricultural Insurance Company,
of Watertown, New York, was organized
and commenced business in March, 1853,
with a.charter combining its risks entire
ly to farm property. The charter has
been amended so as to include private
residences in cities and villages, and
other property not more hazardous.-
The officers of the Company have never
allowed it to be diverted from this poll
cy. Many Gifts contemporaries of TWEEN
ty years ago, have been swept away by
the devastating fires in our large cities,
while, this Company by its system of
isolation from business risks, has steadi-
ly pursued its prosperous course, win
ming its way to popularity and strength,
until it stands second to no Company
for permanence and safety. 1t, there
fore, conffdentally appeals for patron
age TO the farmer, whose occupation ex-
empts him from business hazards; 10
those who have retired from business
and its uncertainties, and desire securi-
ty for their lifetime accumulation; and
to the business man who wishes to ex-
empt his home from the uncertainties
of traffic offering each of them an in
surance in harmony with his desires
Prudent men often deed their homes to
their wives to preserve them from bust
ness calan,itv; legislatures pass exemp-
tion laws, and Congress homestead bills
to secure homes; and the Agricultural
Insurance Company was organized for
their future protection from calamity
that no law or human foresight can
guard against. a Company doing
general business may be protection
under ordinary circumstances; still it
lacks that element of security and GER
tainty offered by Company doing only
Ian isolated residence business. This
Company is now admitted to be the
strongest Company in the World, in its
speciality, and its history of over thirty
years is sufficient guarantee of the pro-
lection afforded by its policies.

Judging from the vaious accounts
by the city papers, the banquent CIV
en- to our law makers one evening
last week by the city of st. Paul, was,
in good plain United States, q high
old spree, or drunk. OF course all OF
the law makers who were present
were not drunk, but good many Of
them were, and most of them were
t'loaded down to the guards" with
wine. II such conduct Is not shame
and disgrace, then 1t would be hard
to designate what constitutes shame
and disgrace Just think Of 1t, men
elected to make laws for the punish
ment of crime, become drunk and dis
orderly. Shame! Shame! What .
pity that Albert Scheffer's bill max.
ing it misdemeanor to get drunk
had not been law before the occur
renee of the law makers, drunk at the
Merchants Hotel, st. Paul, last
Thursday night. Such disgraceful
proceedings strengthen the prohibit
ton course, and it is right that they
should,

Two weeks since the TRIBUNE eX-
pressed the opinion shat the discovery
of gold mines in Lower California, or
the southern part of California, might
lead to trouble with Mexico and re-
suit i'll annexing another slice of
Mexican territory to the United
States. A dispatch dated Los Angeles,
CAL, April 18th, says: There is a
well-authenticated scheme on foot to
capture Lower California. A reporter
yesterday found two gentlemen who
had been asked to join the undertake
ing. They are Grand Army men,
well known and reliable. At their
request their names are not given,
but If it becomes necessary their
identity can be established, One of
them occupies all official position in
this city and the other is a well
known capitalist. One said:
Yes, sir: I think there is a scheme
to capture the lower peninsula, and if
the plan is as well organized and has
the powerful backing that the MEM
bers claim for 1t they will make con-
