The Ohio Campaign.

One of the theories of the money
sharks and mugwumps of the North
and East is to the effect that if Gov
ernor Campbell can be beaten in
Ohio this fall, there will be panic
among the silver Democrats which
will lead to a walk-over for Mr..
Cleveland when the Democratic con-
ventions meets. To that end the
money power has joined hands with
the Republicans, and the result of
this combination will be the most
desperate campaign that Ohio has
ever seen.
The Democrats may suffer defeat,
but the party will not thereby be
thrown into panic on the silver
question. In order to hold the or
ganization together in the South and
and West, there will have to be t,
free silver plank in the national plat
form, and we think that when the
convention meets there will be prac-
teal unanimity on that point.
But how will the defeat Of the
Democrats in Ohio help the chances
of Mr.. Cleveland's nomination
This is problem that grows darker
and deeper the more it is examined.

An Appeal Against Toll Gates.

An old negro walked down in
front of the Franklin House the
other day where a crowd Of gentle,
men were seated discussing various
topics. He was an African for all
the term implies and was arrayed in
his best country garb, with standing
collar to match. He briefly told the
crowd that he was in trouble. He
had left Christian county early that
morning, with his affianced, to come
TO GAINESVILLE and get married. He
counted up the cost before leaving
home and had money enough to de-
fray expenses, so he thought. In the
conversation he said:
"Boss, Melviny and me figgered
up everything but desc dam toIlgates
and now we amt got 'nough money
10 pay dem. She am sittin' in dat
cayrt on de shute waitin' fur me and
Use here akin you gemmen to hep
me. Is you gwine to do it?"
A pony purse was soon made up
by Landlord Bringhurst and the old
man went away rejoicing.

When the State Alliance went
into the election Tor delegates to the
National council, nominees were re-
quired to express themselves on the
Ocala demands, which they did, all
agreeing to defend the same. The
following were elected: j. II.

well and Dickey were elected alter

If this amt prescription for politi-
cal opinions, then what is it? Men
joined the Alliance on principles OF
equity, pledging to support the consti.
tuition, and in no sense was this to
conflict with their religious or politi-
cal opinions, and now they are dis
franchised and prohibited from
speaking, acting or taking any part
in the councils, unless they subscribe
to a political heresy never heard of,
and something but few men can sub
scribe to without the sacrifice of
principle. Can the Alliance be any
thing else but a secret, oath bound
political organization, dangerous to
free government?

Another Robbery.

The residence of Moss Covington,
on Clark street, east of Greenwood,
was visited by prowler Sunday
night, who gained an entrance to the
house through a window, and made
himself at home. The sleeping
apartments of the family were raided
and Mr.. Covington's coat, trousers
and vest taken the pantry and cellar
were also visited and several pounds
of butter, bottles of wine and other
articles were appropriated. Fortu-
nately Mr.. Covington had only few
cents 10 his pockets at the time, and
his loss in this respect is light.

The Question Asking Habit.

Like most other things, curiosity may be
either virtue or vice. With its proper
use we have no present concern. We are
only to consider one of its most disagreeable
manifestations.
The English have an old proverb to the
effect that those who ask no questions will
be told no lies. 1t would be we'll to bear
this surly old proverb ever in mind when
tempted to make idle inquiries. There are
so many reasons why reticence is wise and
right, and the knowledge of the truth
might be harmful, that the temptation to
evade or deny the truth is very strong to
those whose politeness makes it difficult
for them to refuse to answer even an imper-
tinent question.
We may have no bad motives when ask
ing Mrs. A. how she became acquainted
with Mrs B.; we may not, In fact, care
much about the matter; but it has occur
red to us to wonder how, why and where a
lady Of such elegance and fashion as Mrs
A. should have become SO intimate with
the humble and unattractive Mrs. B. that
the one can rarely be met without the
other.
So far no harm has been done. AS we
have asked no questions, no mischievous
surmises have been set afoat and no rude
ness has been committed. 1t may be that
neither woman would object to making
known the origin Of their friendship; but
1t may also be that to tell it would be to
unfold long story Of sorrow or misfor
tune.
Every one detests the scandal monger,
but his occupation would be gone without
the aid Of the questioner. The latter's
motives may be innocent, but the results
of his vulgar impertinence are often disas-
trous Every one who feels in himself
rising inquiry In regard to the private af-
fairs of others should crush it. Parents
should use every effort to divert the natu-
raj curiosity of their children into useful
and elevating channels.-Harper's Bazaar.

The Herald was doubtless correct.
1t is now being pretty freely discussed
among the brethren that John b.
Allen has been christened and set
apart by Squire Mcdowell to defeat
Joe Washington for Congress. Mr.,
Allen is Third party man that is,
he says there is no difference be-
tween Democracy and Republican
ism that he is still a Democrat il
Democracy will do right and give
the Alliance what it wants. We I'M
derstand Mr.. Aliens position to be
that he Is Democrat if the Alliance
can capture the next convention and
force the party to swallow Ocalaism
Mcdowell and Macune, otherwise he
is no longer a Democrat. This is
something the Alliance will not be
able to do, and therefore One A will
have to join the Third party or &c
alone, but he will hardly get to Con
gress.

Amelio nlves and Her Husband.

| must mention curious resemblance
between the wooing of Chanler and the
strange relationship which existed between
Barbara and Jock. While at Castle Hill,
and while Mr.. Chanler was In New York
awaiting the decision of his fate, Miss
Riyes did read in newspaper paragraph
about an Archie Chandler being hurt in a
runaway accident in the streets of New
York. She did ride several miles across
country, In a pelting rainstorm, through
mud and over bitches and fences, to get to
a telegraph office and place herself in com
munication with Mr. Chanler. This Incl
dent was afterward worked In the story of
Barbara and Jock. 1t turned out to be q
Chandler and not a Chanler who was hurt,
and the wild ride was in vain; no, not in
vain, for it had its influence in opening the
eyes of Miss Rives to the hold her affection
for Mr.. Chanler had upon her heart, and it
strengthened Chambers courage, which had
begun to droop, and led him to think he
might after all win the prize which he was
seeking A month or two later he re-
turned to Castle Hill, and before he left
this time Miss Rlves had put her hand in
his and let it rest there.
