4 QUEER COINCIDENCE.
From the New Delta. II

| The man most prominently mentIonee
in connection with the next Democratic
nomination for the presidency is Grover
Cleveland, while the man who is most
generally mentioned as the possible nomiy
nee for the second place is Governor
Boies, of Iowa The two gentlemen are
looked upon as the representatives. Of the
East and West respectively, and we'll
they may be. One Of them redeemed
the whole country from Republican rule.
while the other performed thh appsrent3y
more hopeless task OF leading the state
of Iowa into the Democratic fold. H
will be nothing to be wondered at il they.
should be selected to lead the Democratic
hosts to victory next November.
II they are. the state of New York will
have the proud distinction Of furnishing
the Union both the president and the
vice president. for Cleveland and Pores
are both natives of New York. More
than that, they are both natives of Erie
county, where they once ran against one
another for the Office Of district attorney.
1t would indeed be qaeer coincidence
if 4hese two should be the nominees Of
the Democracy at the same time on the
same ticket.

Her father moved to Texas when she
was child, but she was sent away to
be educated, and on her return to the
State was married almost Immediately
to the Texas Congressman. who soon
after found himself in politics. From
that time on it has been political
life they have led. This is Mills
nineteenth year in Congress, and dur
ing that time Mrs. Mills has gained a
wide experience She has very quiet
tastes, has strong religious convictions,
and objects to notoriety of any kind.
Her winters are spent in Washington,
and FOR some years the summers have
found Mrs. Mills and her youngest
daughter at some Eastern resort, usu-
ally Asbury Park. She has three
children, two Of whom are married,
and living in the West. There is a
home in Corsicana, Tex, where Mrs.
Mills had expected to spend her days,
but since politics obtained strong
hold on Mr.. Mills the Corsicana home
seldom holds the family. Sheis be-
lever in Mr.. Mills future, and would
assist him wherever the way could be
smoothed, It is we'll known that Mr..
Mills has never had a private secreta-

"GO To HALIFAX" !"

The evil repute of Halifax implied
in this adage came to it by Inheritance
from Halifax in Yorkshire, England.
Halifax law, as may be gathered from
a letter Of Lord Leicester quoted by
Metley in his History Of the United
States" was that criminals should be
condemned first and inquired upon
afterward," law which in that one
particular at. t.least resembled "Jedburg
Justice"
Halifax lay within the forest Of
Hardwick, where the law was that if
felon was taken with 13aa pence worth
of stolen goods he should be tried by
four firth burgers. from four Of the
precinct towns, and if condemned by
them be hanged the next day. After
this proceeding had been carried out
to the letter the case might be sent to
a jury! Halifax is also credited with
being the home of the guillotine,
which the Regent, Earl Morton. in
troduced into Scotland only to have
his head chopped off with it.

It is reported that the council 81 tho,
Choctaw Nation has got tired Of the
constant influx Of negroes, many Of
them of the worst character, and ha
passed a law authorizing the governor,
to expel all negroes, except the for
mer slaves of Choctawssand their de-
scendants, and teachers in the nations
public colored schools. Officers vio-s
lating this law are liable to i fine Of
$50 for each offense. One section ofl
the law provides that no company OF
corporation operating IN the nation
shall employ colored labcrers. This
bears directly on the Choctaw Coal
and Railway company which recently
imported large number Of colored
miners from Alabama.

DOUBLE NATIONALITY.

History supplies great many case
in which men have changed their ma
tionality very suddenly in order tt
serve personal purposes, but no case
| is recorded, perhaps, where one has
! changed SO often as a certain railroad
conductor who serves on line con.
Meeting France and Germany. This
functionary changes his nationality
twice a day.
An American traveller who was
riding on the train between Basle and
Belfort relates that shortly after pass
ing out Of Swiss into German terri
tory he had occasion to ask the chief
Of the train some question about the
journey and put the inquiry in French.
ssNein, nein!" said the conductor.
"Spreechen sic Deutsch." No, no,
speak Germany
The American asked his question in
the best German he could muster and
received an answer in that language.
Before long the train had traversed
the narrow belt OF German territory
and entered France. The traveller
again had occasion to make an inquiry
and this time addressed the same con-
ductor in German.
Monsieur" said the chief of the
train, politely, t'je ne parle cue Fran
cais.' q speak nothing but French. J
As the man had to retrace his steps
and become German again before
he went to bed, his changes, it is plain,
came much oftener than those Of the
famous vicar of Bray, who changed
his religion half a dozen times under
as many governments. Because" as
he explained, che was resolved, no
matter who was king, to live and die
the vicar of Bray. States.

RAIN COMPANIES.

It begins to look as though rain making

electric light companies. says the New

another one has just been organized in
Texas, at Temple. where representatives
of the artificial rain company Of Kansas
have just been operating with reported
success. The object Of their expert

Louisville Times.
The administration Republicans are
beginning to beg Tom Platt's young
man Fassett to keep his mouth shut.
A few days ago he stated in an inter-
view that if Cleveland were nominated
next year for the presidency the Re
publicans would sweep the state, for
the reason that the ex-president would
not buy the state, but if Flower should
get the nomination the Democrats
would carry New York, as he would
put up the money necessary to secure
the votes This talk has made the
Republican voters of New York, and
especially those in the rural counties,
where Flower made such large gains,
as mad as hornets, because the infer
ence is that they were bought like
sheep in the recent state election.
They are now threatening to teach
the leaders of their party a lesson in
the presidential contest next year that
they will not soon forget, hence the
desire on the part of the administra-
ton at Washington to put plug in
the mouth of the sore headed Fas-
sett.-N. O. States.
President Harrison is finding it DIFF
fcult to select for the national COM
mittee of his party the place for hold
ing The national convention next year.
He is determined not to have it in a
state possessing any other candidate
who might be preferred to himself.
In order to have it on neutral ground
he may be obliged to decide on Utah
or Alaska.-Butalo Times.
Foraker says he doesn't yearn for
that seat in the United States Senate
which Mr.. Sherman is at present hold
ing down. If the present attitude Of
Foraker is not yearning, it would be
vastly interesting to anthropologists
if he would yearn once. Ohio has
not recently been visited by cyclone
or an earthquake, and could probably
endure the shaking up it would evi-
dently receive Providence Telegram.
