THE pocket nerve" is most sensitive of
all. Unless the published accounts do him
injustice. the Odon young man whose bride
eloped with another fellow the day after
marriage is inspired to pursuit and fero-
cious threats of vengeance rather by the
less of his money that she took along than
by the disappearance of the woman her
self. Awounded heart Is capable of cure,
but no future wealth will ever buy all that
Imagination purchases with cash that has
vanished.

The downward tendency i'm wages is to
be deplOred. II the apparently increasing
number of the unemployed IL a phenomenon
that can but cause the greatest concern and
apprehension To all humane and patriotic
citizens.
There is no general downward tend
ency in wages. Here and there some
iron factories have made a reduction for
special or local reasons, but in the labor
world at large there is no such tendency.
Besides, there never was a time when q
dollar would go as far and buy rs much
as 1t will to-day. During the flush times
of initiation following the wal wages
were considerably higher, but the pur-
chasing power of money was not nearly
as great.
Neither is it true that there is an in
creasing number of unemployed persons.
The number of unemployed is nothing
like as great as it was a few years go.
There ia always an army of ldlers and
loafers in large cities. but these do not
want to work. So there is always a
large number of professional tramps
who would rather beg than work. But,
az q rule, there is work for those who
are willing to work. During the last
season farmers found it almost impOs-
sible to get labor to harvest the crops.
Of course, the chronic croaker will croak
and the professional calamityite will
wall, but there never was less cause for
Sentinel is that the country is enjoying
a season of unparalleled prosperity un-

ADvICEs from China report serious
uprisings in some portions of the coun-
try and a wholesale slaughter of Chris
tians, including converted natives as
well as foreign residents of the country.
IL is difficult at this distance ind from
the meager reports to judge as to the
nature of the trouble. but it seems to be
an outbreak of the worst classes, who
are actuated partly by religious fanati-
cism and partly by a hatred of all for
e~igners. The Chinese government
shows a willing disposition to suppress
the outraees and punish the perpetrators
of them, but does not seem to have
much mower.

GOVERNOR HILLS DESPERATION.

Governor Hill, of New York, has been
referred to as ga frenzied aspirant" for
the presidency. The conspiracy which
he Is directing to capture the Legislature
appears to be of the order which may be
called 'frenzied." The methods pur-
sued by the Hill managers have been
characterized by a desperation that has
called forth the condemnation of news
papers which are in general accord with
the Democrats. On the face of the re-
turns the Republicans had the Senate by
four. including in the count an independ-
ent Republican. If two Republicans
can be robbed of their election the DEM
ocratlc ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS will have
the casting vote in the Senate, and it
will be Democratic. Mr.. Deane, Re-
publican, was elected in a district by
a fair plurality, but, pending the
canvass of the vote, he died. Since his
death the Democratic canvassers in one
county have counted enough votes for
his competitor which were returned by
the inspectors as irregular, and have
thrown out enough for Deane to enable
them to give a certificate TO the Demo-
crat. The law does not authorize these
supervisors to go behind the face OF the
returns, but does authorize them to re-
turn to the election officers, for corrcc-
ton, defective returns. AS the Repub-
lican competitor of the counted-in Sena-
tor is dead, there can be no contest for
the seat. Another Republican, who had
q majority OF several hundred, is to he
refused a certificate because, at the date
of tho election, he was a member of a
water board in a small town, which, by
the decision of the courts, does not dis
qualify.
In one Assembly district a Republican
plurality, has been refused a certificate
because several hundred of his votes
were returned Monroe" others were
returned with only the initials, instead
of the first name in full, and from 9TH
ers the "jr." belonging TO his name was
omitted. AS all of the ballots are print
ed by the State, the mistakes in the re-
turning of the votes are those of the
election officers. This being the case,
the returns should have been sent back
to those officers for correction if
the supervisors had any doubt that
the ballots were cast for different
men, but instead of this they voted
to give the certificate to the Democrat
and removed the county clerk because
he would not certify their action to the
Board of Canvassers. The Republicans
are fighting this conspiracy, and are do
ing it SO sklllfully that there's reason to
hope that it will be defeated. The con-
spiracy is SO reckless, and the crime in
tended SO clear that the New York
Times and the New York Advertiser
sharply criticise it. But, since the only
hope of the Democrats in the South has
been ballot-bOx crimes, should not a
Democrat in the North commend him
self TO his party for perpetrating them?
Evidently Governor Hill is of that opin-
ion.

THAT is a curious state of affairs in
Jacksonville, where the City Council
has found it necessary to enact an ordi-
nance to suppress matrimonial runners.
This is due to the increasing number of
runaway couples who come from Ken
lucky to Jacksonville to be married.
Being strangers in the place and gener-
ally anxious to have the interesting
ceremony performed as soon as possible,
they become easy victims of a class of
N or steerers who hang about the
station and steamboat landing to act as
guides in directing clippers to a minister.
The whole business, which is ridiculous
and little less than scandalous, grows
out of the foolish practice SO prevalent
in Kentucky of running away to get
married. BY the way, how is it these
runners recognize on sight n couple who
desire 10 get married. Is it by the
same intuition that enables the whole
world to recognize n bride7

THE fact that Major McKinley's plu-
rality in Ohio is about $500 less than
that of other Republicans on the ticket
may be regarded as evidence that he
ran behind. Such is not the case; on
the contrary, his vote was $4,000 larger
than the rest of the ticket. This in
dicates that 1900 Republicans, in
marking their ballots under the secret
ballot system, thought that in marking
the name of Mckinley alone they voted
the whole ticket. The Democrats, how
ever, did worse than the Republicans.

SENATOR VEST is not easily discon-
eerted when making a speech, but
there was time once when he got.
badly ratified. 1t was just after he
had graduated from a Kentucky coli
lege, and his hair was several shades
redder than to-day. A politicalcam-
paign was going on in Kentucky and
there was big barbecue in one OF
the mountain districts of the. state,
and young Vest was invited to speak.
He had the habit then, as he has now,
of emphasizing his sentences by jerk
ing his head, and when he got thor
oughly warmed up and was recount
ing the triumphs of the grand old
Democracy, the jerks of his red head
became very frequent. This gave
inspiration to tall, lank mountain
eer, and he yelled out: go it, my
woodpecker; go it! You're a getten'
thar with both feetl Go it, my
woodpeckerl' But he did not go-it
took away his breath and his tongue
refused to work. For once in his life
the Little Giant was SO completely
nonplused he could not proceed with
his speech, and all on account of q
red head and mountaineer.
