Record and Tine innotlhs tue reduction Of
Rryburn's majority from that Of judge kel-
lev in the Fourth Congressional district,
philadelphia, is what might be termed a
fake victory A glance at the figures will
show this. In 1883 there were $3.50 votes
cass in the district, Of which Judge Kelley
received 81. Sal and Mr. Ayres. bis opponent,
"a so2. the Prohibitonists getting f67. On
Tuesday last there were ASIA votes cast.
os which Mr.. Reybun received 2i.SS''
and Mr.. Ayrs II. .446, thus there was loss
OF fsseniy os,e per cot. in MIR. Reyburn's vote
and loss OF tsue1fg eight and a half per eeaf
In Mr.. Ayres' vote. or loss Of seren dnd
half per oenf. greater for Free Trade than for
Protection. Thus you see that the Free
Trade victory is fake yictOry-based on
nothing. Very much like the figures that
are distorted and the facts that are perverted
by the singerlys and McCures in their ef-
forts to help the pro-Bntish party IN the
United States

TnE new Congressional gerrymander
IN Ohio makes ffleen Democratic and six

the Democratic Legislature intended, but
twist and turn the counties all they could,
they couldn't get any more districts. The

been made strongly Democratic, for they
fear him. but big majorities have been

Suicide from a steepIe.

KEkRSEY, Feb, Feb. 23.-A remarkable
suicide is reported frem Wicksville, rs miles
northwest Of here. Wicksyille has a church
with a set of chimes in the steeple. A
young Englishman named John Hicks

About siT weeks ago he had severe attack

to work again. but has acted very strangely
and has seemed very despondent.
This morning during the service. the con-

fall, and Dawson was found lying on the
ground groaning. He was carried into the

TnE election OF John r. keyburn to
the seat long held by the late Judge kel-
lev is proof positive that the free raw
material dodge won't work in Repu6-
Iican distriet. Mr.. Reyburn's majority
does not seem to compare unfavorably
with that of Judge Kelley at the last
election. If due allowance be made for
the apathy OF an off year and for the
strong and long matured personal infiu-

Governor Fleming has determined to fol-
low the course of his predecessor, Governor
Wilson, and protect the Hat6elds unless as
sured that they will secure a fair trial in
Kentucky. The report that he intended to
honor Kentucky's requisition for them was
without foundation. The effort Of the Hat
fields to have the McCOys arrested and tried
is direct result of the hanging of Ellison
Mounts at Pikeville. The Hatfields have
recently sold large tracts OF land, have plen-
iy of money and are all well armed. A
fresh effort TO capture some Of the McCoys
and be revenged for Mounts death is daily
looked for.

Men Of weight and wisdom.

The faces of the Justices of the United
States Supreme Court fairly shine with
good living, and upon each you see the
writing that the owner has not single
care and that he has for life $4,000 a
year. Justice Miller has received $780,
600 in salaries from Uncle Sam, and Jus-
tice Field has carried in his inside
pocket Uncle Sans good drafts for S27O,-
900. Bradley has received $500, 900 from
the Government, Harlan $130. 900, Gray
500, 600, and BIatchford's receipts have
amounted to $50, 900 in cold cash. Each
will receive SO. O0O more for every year
that he lives, and he will get this
whether he remains upon the bench or
not. If he leaves it the Government
will have to get new $4,000 man to
take his place, and Uncle Sam viii DO
out $40, 900 instead of SO. 900 as long as
he lives. There is no doubt that any
one of these men can make more than
this amount at the Law and each is well
worth the salary paid him II [Philadel-
