THE Martins Ferry correspondent of
the Wheeling Register asserts that
County officer elected by Republicans
has recently been down in that town
interfering with the people in the selee-
ton of candidates for the coming cam
paign. We are reluctant to credit this
statement. 1t BODIES no good, if it is
true. and exhibits a spirit of bOsSism
that the Republicans have not been used
to and are in no temper to tolerate
Men are not elected to office to dictate
to the people whom they shall support
for this or that office. That is no part
of the duties of County officers, and if
any of them arrogate to themselves that
function they do the people who have
trusted and hOnored them very great
wrong. The people are competent tC
transact their own business, without
dictation or interference from County
officers.
For the sake of a great Cause, com
pared with which men are nothing, VT
hope there is some mistake about thi:
story. If Republicans must in a few
weeks go into campaign with 'cloud
and darkness round about them,' meet
ing treachery and deceit and intrigu,
on every hand. and especially betraye'
by men whom they have trusted an,
honored, and who owe so much to tn
party, they may as well hold no Conven
ton nor waste any time about the elec
ton.
Men and brethren! in the language o
the NelC York Sun, addressed to tn
Democrats, "YOU must get together.

But the verdict of Rhode Island was the
most decisive of all for it was rendered
after three years of actual trial of COnsti-
tutiOnal Prohibition, which was adopted
in 1856 by 15.113 votes in favor to $3.50
against. There is no evidence that any
unfair or corrupt means were used to pro-
cure the reversal of this vote Yesterday.
According to all accounts the contest was
quiet and orderly. although it was earnest
and well organized on the part of the ad-
vocates of the repeal of the amendment.
The vote by counties was as follows:

THE Bourbon party of Virginia is
adrift. 1t has had control of the
State government since January l,
1885. The big debt is not yet settled,
and the "Old Dominion" is now about
bankrupt. A new Governor, Lieu
tenant Governor, and Attorney General,
one hundred members of the House
of Delegates and twenty-One members
of the Senate are to be elected in No
vember next. The only question with
the Bourbons is how to keep the Repub-
licans from carrying the election this
fall. They want platform and planks
enough to prevent any but Democrats
from getting Office.

TENS of thousands of pensioners must
wait for their money until the new ap-
preparation becomes available. This is
a great hardship to many and is entirely
due to the soldier-hating Democratic
majority in the late Congress, which re-
fused to pass large enough appropria-
ton.

THE attempt of Democratic editors to
fix the responsibility for the exhaustion
of the pension appropriation on Commits
sioner Tanner simply exposes their i'm
becility and malice. The deficit was
predicted when the appropriation
bill was passed. The Pension Depart
ment has suspended payment simply be-
cause the Democratic majority in Con
gress refused to make the appropriation
equal to the expenditure provided for.
The default was inevitable, whichever
party controlled the administration. 1t
is characteristic of the Democratic par
ty to bankrupt every fund they have
any control of, in one way or another.

yard are down, and the gate marks

seldom seen. The little witnesses
of refinement, culture and purity
are too much neglected, and the
good housewife is not to blame.
She would snatch the time from
every day routine of household du-

4 Terrible Story of the code Oysuo

one OF the Georgia duellists re-,
served four of his FIVE shots while
his antagonist was aimlessly firing
upon him. He then claimed the
privilege of debating a rctraction
under penalty of the completion
OF his four rounds. This method
of settling the quarrel proved suco
cesstul, especially as he had the re-
putatlon of being . crack shot,
his solution differed radically from
the outcome of a famous French
duel which had been forced upon
an army officer who entertained
conscientious scruples against the
code. He had declined the cnall-
enge, but finally accepted it under
the influence of threats from his
superior officers that he would be
cashiered for cowardice. lie claim.

each should fire in turn, beginning

missed the mark, and was then at
his mercy. The seconds and specta-
tors naturally expected that he
would fire his pistol in the air out
OF respect ior his Conscientious
scruples. He coolly took aim shot
his antagonist through the heart,
and then, cXclaiming: "Our blood
be on your heads !" killed himself.
This duel had a most beneficial
effect in modifying military opin>

fsrsr from Scrofula, or some blood dis
ease which had lain dormant all her life.
We had attention from some of the most
skillful physicians in the country, but all
to no effect, until we had all despaired Of
her ever recovering. Her mouth was one

her body was broken out with sores until
she lost beautiful head of hair, also eye
lashes and eyebrows; in fact, she seemed
to be complete wreck.
Now comes the great secret which |

any one who did not know it to be So.

TIE BRIDE or A GORILLA.
Remarkable Story of the BARK Cont
Hent T6'5 BY az Exsiorer.


Carl SteckleInan, the African
explorer, has been ordered for a
second trip by cable to the CONT,
nent by an English concern. Be,
tore leaving indianapolis. he told a
correspondent some remarkable
stories of his first trip, among
which the following is the most re-
markable:
"There are some extraordinary
things told of the male gorilla. l
had always heard i: said that the
male gorilla would not harm a wo-
man. This is the common belief
in some tribes. One day we came
to a village in which one but had
been built apart from the rest. We
inquired for the reason for this
and found that it had been dali-
Gated to witch. This witch was
greatly revered. She had been the
wife of a gorilla. The woman had
lived in the village, in a house
stood On the edge of the forest.
A great tree overbung her shanty.
In the village all the trees had been
cut down as a precantion against the
gorilla.
Zone night one Of these animals
came out of the forest, got up in.o
the big tree which overhuug the
woman's house, climbed down on
to the root, threw the roof of,
swunc down into the hut, seized
the woman, climbed up through
the hole of the roof up into the
tree, and went away into the
woods, carrying the woman with
him. His great strength made
this an easy thing for him to do
lie could hold her in one arm and
with his two hind legs and his one
forearm make his way up and
down trees or through the woods.
The woman was gone for many
days. The people saw that her
house roof had been torn off,
I. ey looked carefully around the
house and saw that there were no
tracks whatever. They then knew
that the dread enemy had carried
her off.
zone day she came back. She
told wonderful story. The goril-
la lad carried her for miles in the
woods, ana finally had climbed a
great tree and deposited her in his
home. Th,re he treated her very
kindly, brought her food and drink,
but would not permit her to Lave.
After watching her carefully for
many days he finally left her,
probably intending to return in a
short time, convinced that size
would remain. The woman came
down to the ground, and, after
wandering for several days,
made her way back to the village.
TIE people at frs were about to
kill her, but they finally concluded
that she was possessed of extraor-
binary powers. They therefore
