A FlZZLE.

The Democratic grrrymanderinc OF
the Ohio Congressional Districts,
which, it was fondly hoped. would
give . majority Of the Cong' essnen
from that Stue to tho free traders, is
likely to prove fizz'e. l" their haste
the Democrats omitted Storrs town.
ship, and failed to include it in any
district. This, it is claimed by the
Republicans and conceded by tie
Democrats, is fatal to the redistric,ing
act, and the forthcoming elections will
have t" be held under the old law
As the principal reason tor the gerry
Wandering was the defeat OF McKin
ley, tho able author of the riff bill
the Psotectionists will not be apt &c
grieve over the mistake il it leaves

ARE YOU REGlSTEREDs

The registrat Oh hooks will be
closed next Friday evening, the 26th
lest. All who wish to vote at the ap.
preaching election should therefore
SEQ to it that their name is on the
registry list by that time.
There Is some difference of opinion
- to whether it is necessary for those
who registered two years ago to re-
register. In order TO be safe, it i.
perhaps best for every citizen entitled
to vote to register.

THE RATE VARIES.

The Boise Sun states that the rates
on ore shipments from any station on
the Oregon Short Line are $l2.4O
per ton. 1t depends upon the point
to which ore is consigned. The rate
named, is, we believe, that to Omaha ;
to Kansas City it is little higher
than this; to Denver it is lower, being
only 1880; and to Salt Lake City it
will be still lower, after Saturday, the

ImDrOyed in jail.

Every time batch of Jail prisoners are
arraigned in the criminal court l am
struck by the vast improvement in their
personal appearance that few months
confinement gives them. In 90 cases out
of 100 they are a coarse, brutal, heavy
drinking class, and show their low
habits in their faces. In the Jail they
get the whisky out Of their skins, the so
called jail pallor leaves their faces clear
and white, and more or less refined, and
they make a better impression upon a
jury than they certainly would if brought
to trial when first arrested. A striking
case in point was Sanders, the dog
catcher, who killed Police OTHER Printz.
When he was first put in Jail he was
about the toughest, bloated and alto
gether brutalized specimen of humanity
l had ever seen. Eight months later ne
was brought to trial. 1t was almost i'm
possible to recognize in the pale, finely
drawn features of the quiet, self pos
sessed and intelligent talking prisoner
