Is There Really a Conspiracy?-A
Shocking Revelation.

- ~ NN-
Shocking Revelation.
At this time of writing, we are in
possession of rumors that a conspir-
acy is maturing to defeat the prose
cution Of the indicted election officers
by trick and device. Before this days
paper goes to press, we hope to be
able to lay all the facts before the
public.
We find it hard to believe that the
report is true. 1t involves so much
of faulty as we'll as crime that it is
hard to see how any politicians in
their senses could lend themselves to
such a scheme. We sincerely trust,
for the honor of the Democracy, that
the story is not well founded.
If this report turns out to be true, it
at once proves, beyond the possibility
of a doubt, the worst charges that
have been made in respect to the No
vember election. 1t has been asserted
that the frauds then perpetrated were
not the result of crookedness and
Ignorance on the part of the election
officars, but of a great conspiracy, the
heads Of which ordered that the frauds
should be committed and promised
Immunity to all concerned in the
crime. We have always Indignantly
refused to believe this story. Even
when the Grand Jury presented indict-
ments which were designed to be in
operative we preferred to think
that the monumental stupidity of
that body was the cause rather than
deliberate villainy. But this present
story. if we are rightly informed, de-
stroys the last vestige of hope. 1t in
dictates that the so-called leaders of
the Democracy are the suborners of
crime and the protectors Of criminals,
and that, one way OF another, they
made the Grand Jurors their tools.
If this is really the case, one of two
things must happen: either the heads
of the conspiracy must go under or
the party must. Its present load Of
guilt and shame makes it stagger and
totter. This would be the last straw.
and in the congressional and assem-
bly, contests of the fall, would..un-
doubtedly break it's back.

THE great and constantly increasing
activity in politics which Mr.. Bill
Hogencamp displays, has led to much
speculation as to what the ultimate
object Of his ambition might be. He
now controls a bank and publishes
that is to say prints a paper. He is
besides virtually the Mayor of Jersey
City and with certain branches of the
City government his word is law. OF
late he has been using the power he
already possesses to increase his grip.
There seems to be reason to think
that he contemplates setting himself
up as party boss.

A well-bred woman always thanks
the man who gives her a seat in the
street car, and does it in a quiet and
not in an ELUSIVE way.
She does not declare that she never
rides in street cars.
She doesn't talk loud in public
places.
She doesn't shove or push to get
the best seat, and she doesn't wonder
why in the world people carry chill
dren in the cars, and why they per-
NIT them to cry.
She doesn't want to be a man, and
she doesn't try to initiate him by
adopting masculine manners.
She doesn't say she hates women,
and she has some good, true friends
among them.
She doesn't wear boots without
their buttons, or a frock that needs
mending.
She does not wear on the street a
dress only fitted to the house or car
riage.
She does not wear a torn glove,
when q needle and thread and a few
stitches would make it all right.
Her Hair Saved Her Life.
A curious freak of lightning during
a recentstorm was played on q woman
named Ellen Barnes, q laundress, liv-
ing in the suburbs Of Petersburg.
She had stepped to the door and
stood holding it ajar, watching the
storm, when she was struck by the
lightning and knocked ~senseless. She
was alone at the time except for a
child a few months old, but d neigh

A Use for oId Towels.

Is there any use for other towels
that have developed very thin mid
dles'' and lost most of their fringeP II
one has time to de vote to such saving
work, or if there are little girls in the
family who need employment, my
advice is to cut the towels down the
centre, lengthwise, and ''over and
over'' the edges together This gives
a firm middle, = good enough to cut
quare wash cloths from, for those
who like such, or to use for any other
purpose for which soft old linen can
be used.-Good Housekeeping.
Preserving the Contour of the Figure.
An authority on the subject tells
women who wish to preserve the
beuty and contour of their figure that
they must begin by learning to stand
well. That is explained to mean the
throwing forward and upward of the
chest, the fiattening of the back, with
the shoulder blades held in their
proper places, and the definite curving
in the small Of the back, thus throw
ing the whole weight Of the body upon
the hips.

quarter to one side.
A remarkable feature of the occur
renee is that the woman says hat as
she was struck she was conscious OF a
terrible pang in the side of her head,
which is unchanged, and remembers
no particular sensation in the other.
She is inconsolable over her strange
deformity, as the physicians give her
no hope that new and black hair will
aver grow again on the affected side
of the head, but endeavor to comfort
her by the unanimous opinion that
she owes her life, and at any rate
her reason, to the thickness of her
locks, which prevented the brain

Statement Sent to the British Minister
and to Mr.. Blaine.
[ From The Ne,os aud O6serusr.


From the Neus aud Observer.
Gov. Fowle yesterday sent a full
statement to Hon. Fred J. Credlen,
British Consul at Charleston, and to
Secretary of State James G. Blaine in
regard to the official action which has
been taken in the case of T. NJ.
Joiner.
Attorney General Davidson, in a
letter to Governor Fowle, says that as
result of Solicitor Longs investiga-
tion the following facts in regard to
the matter may be considered as es-
tablished: If an assault was made
upon Joiner and his wife, the persons
making it were SO disguised that to
recognize them was impossible. That
Joiner made verbal complaint to two
local officers. neither of whom had any
jurisdiction to make judicial inquiry.
He could give no information by
which the alleged offenders could be
identified. Joiner has never made
complaint to any officer CT court that
has Jurisdiction in such offeLses. Such
officers and courts have no informa-
ton In the matter, nor have they the
means of acquiring it. The assault, if
any, was probably provoked by the
conduct of Joiner-conduct calculated
to alarm and provoke the community
in which he resided. Joiner, while in
Raleigh, made no effort to bring the
matter to the attention of the Attorney
General. The Attorney General adds
that Solicitor Longs high character
entities the above conclusions to full
faith and credit.

But they must be forced into line.
The salvation of the party demands it.
The apportionment bill is not all of
the plan, however, and special ses-
sions of the Legislature in certain
States will be called under directions
from the National Committee to so re-
district for Congressional purposes as
to make good most of the increased
opportunities.
1t will be of no use for the Demo-

WEST VIRGINIA CAPTURED.
"Now," asks the speaker triumph
antly, "what do you think about the
next Congress, and, of course, the
same situation applies to the electoral
vote. There is one State, usually
called Southern, by the way, to which
the census scheme does not apply.
That is West Virginia.
1t is surely Republican in 1892. In
the last two years Steve Elkins,
through his land, coal and railroad
companies, has introduced four thou
sand new voters into the State.
