The fyaway squibs ON the decline of
Boston interest in Browning that have
appeared in certain papers--chiefiy in
the funny columns-could not be better
refuted, If they were worthy of refata-
ton at all, than by the gathering Of
Browning lovers at the Hotel Brunswick
Over 150 members of the Boston Brown
ing society came together in tho large
parior OF the Brunswick for the first
meeting OF the society after its summer
recess, and had an interesting and en-
thuiastic meeting. There was a brief
business meeting at which eight new
members were elected.

A Contrast-Civil Service Reform.

Under Cleveiand's administration, the
holders were not permitted to take
any part in political meetings. and our
Democratic Postmaster, VIM. A. Burke,
though an ardent Democrat, refrained
scrupulously from doing so, and also his
employees. Under the present Republican
administration, it is quite different, notwith-
standing the Civil Service plank in the
platform of the National Republican party,
and the emphatic endorsement of it by
Harrison in his letter of acceptance of his
nomination, for at the Republican Conven.
ton held in the Court House yesterday,
the Chairman who presided was the pres
emit Postmaster, Major Ed. Mcmahon, and
the man who was elected Chairman OF the
Republican Committee for both the county
of Augusta and city of Staunton was w.
E. Craig, U. 8. Attorney for the Western
District of Virginia. That party is ruled
rigidly and absolutely by Republican Office
holders. 1t was clearly manifested by the
remarks of several of the delegates from
the county that the more independent Re-
publicans are getting very weary of the
manner in which their party has been con-
trolled, and uttered very emphatic protests,
but without avail, for the old regime is con-
tinued, and they will have to submit or
resolutely assert their independence.

Canton TO Farmers,

The Advance has uniformly been warm
champion of the cause of the Farmers Al
lliance. We believe in the farmer and
planter as the salt of the earth, and think
them the worst wronged and robbed people
by high tariff and trust corporations of any
class of people in the world. There is one
thing the Farmers Alliance should not in
any way attempt or think of, and that is
to mix mp politics with their cause or for m
a new party. That would be fatal to their
cause and entirely defeat their Objects
They should all vote with that one of the
two parties which is most in har
mony and sympathy with their cause
and interests and is most likely to serve
them in Congress and the Legislature. If
they attempt separate party of their own
they will simply divide their forces and
permit their worst enemy to come and fur
Their Cypress them, while if they stick to
the democratic party, they can and would
control the legislation of that party to con-
form to their views and interests.
The Farmers Alliance in South Carolina
is committing a great blunder in nomina-
ting separate farmers ticket for State Of
ficers. They will simply split the solid dem
ocratic party of that State and transfer
the State government into the hands of
negroes and republicans. We trust the
Alliance of Virginia and the other States
of the South will never fall into any such
error, not to say crime.-Lynch6arg Ad-

A GIANTEss' GIANT BABE.-Perhaps the
largest infant that ever saw the light OF
day was born at Nicetowp, Philadelphia,
on Sunday. The baby has not been
weighed, for it is deemed by many an un-
lucky act to weigh newly born child, but
competent authorities who have seen and
handled it are sure that its weight is not
less than twenty five pounds and maybe
more. This big little boy is as large as the
average child of three months. He is
bright and hearty and all his limbs are
we'll developed. He crows and laughs in
cessantly and seems to he in the best OF
health. The mother is the wife of Matthew
Hardegan, who works in one of the big iron
foundries Of Phaenixville. Mrs. Hardegan,
who is about 35 years old, is perfect
giantees, over six feet tall and proper
tionately built. Her husband is about 40
years old, and is of the average build. Mrs.
Hardegan has had 10 children. Three of
these have died. She has been married
twice. She is remarkably handsome, and
her children are noted for their beauty
among their neighbors. Although her
baby was only born on Sunday night, the
mother was down stairs Thursday, moving
about her household duties. The Hardegan
family originally lived in Phosaixville and
moved into their present home about three
months ago. The husband lives in Phee-
nixville and has not yet seen the latest and
largest addition to his family circle. The
other II children were of the usual size.-
The event has created furore in the popu-
lous little suburb, and the women around
have all been to see it.

DEATH OF GEN. FREMoNT.-Gen. John
G. Fremont, who died in New York Sun
day, had an eventful career. The son of a
French immigrant, he was born in Savan-
nah, Ga, in 1918, and received a collegiate
education. Appointed to lieutenancy in
the United States corps Of engineers, he
penetrated the Rocky Mountains at two
points, and won the title of ''the pathfnd-
err" He also defined much of the geogra-
ply between the Rocky Mountains and the
Pacific Coast, and bore conspicuous part
in the conquest of Upper California. He
represented California in the United States
Senate from 1S49 to 1851. The first candi.
date of the republican party, he was defeat
ed for President in 1856 by James Buch an
an. Gen. Fremont served as major gen.
eral in the Union army during the late
civil war, and at the present session OF
Congress was placed on the retired list,
with the rank of major general.
