Indicates Nothing.

The republican press OF this district
processes great surprise because the
friends of Mr.. Cable are not filled with
jismay at the outlook for the November
election. The repu blicsn press is Just
now engaged in trying to convince MT
Cables friends that that gentleman does
not stand the ghost OF a show, and might
as well give up now as a month later
when the stern decree of fate will compel
him to relinquish all hope of attaining to
congressional honors.
The latest argument against Mr.. Gable
is fOnnd in the vote Two wears ago when
Mr.. Gest was elected by plurality of 2,
077 over Prentiss. This is urged as
sure indication of victory this fall But
that was two years ago, and times change
in two wears.
In the first place 1888 was presiden.
tial year That in itself, as has been
shown in the past. gives big increase in
the republican vote. There is always a
falling down in off years among the faith
ful of the z. @. p, with the result that
the idols of that party frequently get left
on those occasions
Another thing. The republican party
won two years ago on the strength of q
pledge which they have never fulfilled
They promised II reduce the tariff and
they have increased it. The people asked
for a loaf, and the republican party gave
them stone.
Altogether it looks rather bad for the
republican party. The fact that Mr.. Gest
received q plurality of 1000 two years
ago. indicates nothing for this year

A Man Tearing or His Clothes aud
GiviRg Lots Of Trouble

Giving Lots Of Trouble.
Chss. Ham, man about 81 wears of
age, was found yesterday afternoon by
Officer Mulqueen on the c.. B. & O.
tracks in wild and wanton state. He
was behaving himself in such way that
the officer was obliged TO conduct him to
the station. On the way the demented
fellow began tearing off his clothes, and
1t was as much as the officer could do to
keep him in Il clothed condition. At the
station when placed in a cell he literally
tore his clothes to pieces His panta-
looms, shirt and everything he
could rend he made quick ard savage
work of. until he stood perfectly nude. A
quit of clothes was procured for him By
the overseer of the poor, the officers at
the station supplying a hat and some
other articles. He made so much annoy
ance by his antics at the city Jail that
Officer Ohlweiier thought he had secured
for himself steady job for the winter
perhaps upon that fellow. The man had
been drinking but was not drunk, and
who he was or where he came from or
any other particular concerning him is
not known. He was shipped to Mon

Some Curious Patents.

A western man has patented shield to
prevent a horse from being cut by wire
fences, and this consists of a sort of armor
of padded cotton or leather which is
strapped around the neck, breast and front
legs Of the horse. Another way of prevent
ing horses from hurting themselves on
these fences is found in the electrical divis-
ion. The wires are charged with cleo
tricity, and when the horse goes against
them he gets shock which drives him
back. In the same division there is an
electric plan for preventing horses from
cribbing. The Manager is charged with
electricity, and the moment the horse at
tempts to crib he gets shock. Then there
is a chicken hobbler consisting of spring
attached to hens leg, which, if the hen
attempts to scratch, will move her onward,
and will in fact walk her right out of the
garden.-Frank q. Carpenters Letter.
