WITH Harrison at the head of the
presidential republican ticket next year
the democratic party will have a 'pud-
ding" The methods by which Mr.. Har-
rison obtained his election in 1883 will
not be repeated next year. BLOCKS of
five" will never again be voted in In
diana, nor will colonizing Kentucky ne
groes in that state again be permitted.
The open purchasing of votes in New
York will not be attempted, but a stall
wart corruption fund from protected
manufacturers will be raised and cx-
pended secretly where it will do the
most good. Wanamakcr will doubtless
be on hand with another 100000 and
Elkins will boss the crooked end of the
campaign. But Harrison will fail. The
people are not with him nor his methods.

THE South Dakota divorces are pro-
nounced equal to any in the market, and
are attracting investors from all over the
country. A Washington attorney, G. a.
Snow. and his amiable late wife relate a
pleasant experience in their case. They
came out to Sioux City together for d
divorce, and, after tenderly and affection
ately kissing each other goodbye, he re-
turned and che remained to complete
the arrangements to ecure their mutual
Freedom and felicity. Having obtained
the divorce, she also returned to Wash
ingtDn. 10 be d sDcial star and the pride
~ her late partner. The Chicago di.
yorcsss do not afford this genial glow.

Ex-SECRETARY Of State Soper, OF
Michigan, is a wiser mar than he was a
few days ago. The next time he hands
in his resignation to the governor of any
state it will have a cable, not "a string
attached to it, so he can get it back
without injunction proceedings. But
Soper-what a euphonious name!-will
never have another opportunity to resign
the se~cretaryship of the state of Mich,
gan SO long as Governor Winans occupies
the executive chair.

THE denomination of Governor Emery
by the democrats of Louisiana, means u
determined fight against the lottery,
1t means an obstinate and desperate
encounter with the giant concern which
is attempting to dominate the politics
of that state in its own interests. II
means a square up and up fight Of the
moral forces of that state against the
lower and british elements of its popu,
lation. The lottery party has the
money; the McEnery democrats have
the moral support and good wishes Of
the civilized world. The democrats will
win.

MATT A~LDERSoN'S latest is "a Sigh
for the Girl that's Left" 1t is a pretty
little thing in which Matt tells that he
is married and has two as ''smart little
babies as they are made" and then he
reminds the girl that Tilted him-she
who is 'left"-what she has missed by
not marrying him. 1t was intended for
a cruel stab, but the girl evaded it by
marrying a widower with nine children
and now she goes Matt seven better.

First Corsets' is the one that is left in

whether with such an influx of gold it is
worth while to use that commodity as a

closed he set fire to the building and the

does not appear, however. that there was
any uniformity in the period of observ-

Commodore Power fell into the arms
OF a st. Paul newspaper reporter the

u thing or two since he went to Washing

his tongue when a newspaper man hap
pens around. He didn't know nol
would he hazard a guess as to what con
gross would do with the silver question
The commodore thinks congressman

silver and 81 he very dis"rcetly knew of
nothing to say. lie believes, however
the 'brainy" men of the west are salts
fled with the present silver law. lie
didn't say so in the interview but he
placed himself on record as saying it
sometime ago. The willy Thomas was
equally ignorant as to what will be done
with the tariff, and couldn't say whether
Crisp's election meant Hill or German or
Cleveland for the presidency. But he
puts in an oar for Blaine and gave Har-
rison IA left-handed compliment. 1t is
evident Mr.. Power will pull the wires in
this state for Blaine if that gentleman
consent to become a candidate. But
when he says he knows of leading demo-
Gratis in Montana who would subscribe
to a Blaine fund the tribune feels like
calling the gentleman down. "Lcading
democrats" who are Blaine men are not
democrats at all. They are republicans
in all that constitutes "a republican. The
line is drawn on Power at the paradox.
BY the way, who are the ''leading demo-
Gratis who are 50 ready with their purses

Power will never tell but he might jerk
his finger over his shoulder at one or two

Los ANGELES, CAL, July S.-A party
sent CIT by the Southern Pacific Railroad
Company from Ogilbie last week to find the
source of the Salton lake, has returned. A
report received at the railroad office last
night says: "The water leaves the Colorado
river at point eight miles from Ell Rio and
flows through several channels from four to
six feet deep and from thirty to sixty feet
wide. 1t flows westward along the sand
hills on the route of the old
overland stage. at this station making q
stream 100 yards wide or more, aud having
a velocity of four miles an hour and gain
ing. 1t was too deep to get it's depth, but
the old slough at this point was formerly
twenty feet Deep This is about thirty Ave
miles from the river. We followed the
stream two miles further in the direction of
Indian Wells. The water is all the way
from half mile to two miles wide,
and from two to four feet deep, hav-
ing a velocity of two miles an hour
The main channel extends fifty-two miles
from the Colorado river, and at this point
it enters the desert Cor Salton. The old
stage route, with the exception of five or
six miles. is all covered with water. This
set les the question of the water supply con-
clusively as from the Colorado river"

over the CentraTs Tracks.
ALBANY, Ga, July S.-From the appear
ance of things at present Albany Is on the
eve of a railroad war, in which the Central
railroad. Col. Nelson Tiff and the city
council will be the principals. Some months
ago the Artesian City railroad, built by
| Col. Tiff, was completed to the CehCral
| railroad track on either side, but for some
reason the Central would not allow Col.
! Tiff to cross the track The street railroad
! crosses the Central which runs up NORTH
| street. In two places, anu Tue
street cars have been Jumping tne
| track at the intersection Of Jefferson and
/ North streets, but at the other crossing,
| which is near the depot, several tracks are
/ laid along North street, which makes the
! lunping business impossible for the street
/ cars Thev have been transferring at this
| point. which was great deal OF trouble.
Vesterday J NJ Tiff, general manager
Of the street car line, made
proposition to j. NJ Williams, the
Central ssvstem's roadmaster, which
would bring about a settlement OF
the difficulty. Mr. lift says: II told Mr..
Williams that wa would put in good,
safe crossing, and that he could place
man there 20 see that the work Is done
properly. Mr.. Williams said he could not
return to the city until Thursday, but then
he would come and assist IN
the work, speaking as though he
fully complied with my proposition.
We continued grading and getting
thugs ready for crossing on Thursday
which would have completed the street
railway belt around the city. But instead
of doing what he told me he would do his
company files a bill of injunction to keep US
from crossing the tracks at the intersection OF
Washington and North streets. Col. Tiff has
offered the Central $500 and made all other
possible overtures for the privilege Of cross
ing, and when we thought an amicable set
Element had been reached they carried out
their part Of verbal understanding by to-
day fling the bill Now l can promise you
some hot times in the matter, for things
have got to come TO close.
Many citizens are highly indignant at the
way the street railroad is being treated 1t
is said that the Central Will agree to a cross
ing if the street railroad will pay for it and
then become responsible for all damage
that may be done on said crossing. A
lively contest is looked for
