The WESTERN SITUATION.


A Poor outlook for the Blocks-of-Fivs
Manipulators.
!. Few republicans believe that Harri-
son will carry New York. Some OF
them talk Of their ability to elect him
without New York. but how are they
going to do it? The talk of carrying
West Virginia for him is nioonshine, but
even ii it were not there is not safe
republican state between Ohio and
Kansas. Many democrats believe that
Ohio will go democratic this year. We
believe, however, that wi not. We
believe that Ohio, California; Oregon,
Maine and Vermont are still safely re-
publican in presidential years. Ordi-
narily Pennsylvania may be added to
the list, but there is no means of tell
ing anything about what Pennsylvania
will do this year.
Here in the central west the repub-
licans can count. on nothing surely. Indi-
ana is now opposed to Harrison. There
is little doubt that there is now in the
state plurality Of at least 30, 900 against
him. The democratic chances Of carry

than the chances of the republicans
Iowa is at least as apt to give its cleo

Gratis will divide the vote of Michigan,

is fighting both the democrats and the
third party people of the farmers alii-

demning Document.
Tie efforts of the republicans to
dodge the force bill issue will not
avail. They lay much stress upon the
fact that the force bill is not mentioned
by name in their national platform.
Party organs are urging the president
to ignore it in his letter of acceptance.
In this way they hope to avoid the
force of the Endorsement which they
have given the measure.
The C0urier-Journal quotes from the
republican platform of 1890 declara-
tions virtually in favor Of the force
bill. and the emphatic assertion that
s.the party will never relax its efforts
until the so-called integrity OF the
ballot is secured. What this ''in-
tegrity" means and what kind Of
efforts the republicans were using
may be determined by an examination
of the platform of 1888 and the EFF
forts made to give it effect.
The republican platform of 1888 ex-
pressed its devotion to the right Of
EVERY lawful citizen, rich or poor,
native or foreign born, white or black,
to cast one free ballot in the public
elections and to have that ballot duly
counted" Notice that the language in
the two platforms is essentially
and almost literally the same. The
language received an authoritative CON
struction during the debate on the
force bill, when it was urged that the
republicans were solcmnly pledged in
their platform 10 support the measure.
As we have to deal with very slippery
customers, we may as well clinch this
statement. On the day when the force
bill passed the honsc, while Mr.. Hemp
hills amendment prohibiting the use Of
the army and navy at the polls was uu-
der debate, Mr.. Perkins, Of Kansas, said
Ii had been charged that the bill was 4
republican measure, and he desired 70
admit It. He quoted the clnuse Of the
Republican platform u 1883 with refer
enco 70 elections. and said; Mr.. Speak

How Bc~sie's Diamond Rroke Pn's Tooth
and Cast Suspicion on the Cook,
IIa and the girls are doing the cook
ing 1t our house this week and dad
and hope they will take q vacation
girls are continually fretting for fear
some fellow will call to take them out
and find them beating eggs or rolling
pie-crust, with their hair full of -four
and their tempers at fever heat
All this is due to- the fact that last
week ma discharged Bridget for steal
ing, although Bridget had never been
known to take any thing more than "a
loaf Of cake for the childer" and was
supposed to be temptation proof.
II Happened this way: Bess, the older
of my two sisters, had q ring with a
twenty dollar diamond in it that some
fellow gave her long ago and up to date
It has the call in her affections over the
rest Of her jeweiry 0ne.n8eH she went:
mp 70 pat ON her ring before lunch and
that ring, which she had left on her
bureau, was missing. Then there was
q scene. Everybody hunted for it Bess
suspected everybody. Ma wouldn't be-
lieve Bridget had taken it, nor Annie,
our new second girl, because Annie was
highly recommended to her by Mrs.
j., whom ma thinks is about right,
and Bridget had star record for hon
esty.
The second morning after the ring
iisappearedSp pa was munching slice Of
bread. They always cut the bread
thick for him, for he hates thin slices
Suddenly his jaw stopped and he said:
Holy Moses. I've broken tooth.
Then he fishcd something out of his
mouth and there was the diamond out
of Bess's ring.
..Well, we all locked at each other
and Bess said fiercely: 'syyho mixed
that bread?v Il suppose Bridget did,"
said ma. The outcome Of it was Bridget
was charged witfrstealing the ring and
denied it She admitted mixing the
bread and ma said she must have worn
the ring when she did it. So Bridget
had to go, despite her protestations.
Next morning the second girl, Annie,
had disappeared and ma found a note
on her table which said:
mrs b: / took the ring but was q goin to

Bright was out the kitchiny and the dimon

Accompanying this letter was the
ring, minus the stone.
Well, mas square and she apologized
to Bridget and tried to get her back but
Bridget wouldn't have 1t and said she'd
got a place where the folks were not SO

Young girls who wish to marry take
care to parade their domestic talents.
Here is curious example of It, which
dedicate to gourmands.
Six young ladies in Ohio, having re.

exchanged condolences and came to d
mutual understanding.
Although matters seemed to be pro-
crossing according to their wishes,
there is still a certain iinpatience Of
victory among Ewes daughters, and
they resolved Upon an Audacious move
which should prove to the objects OF
their affection that they were, one and
all, really good hoiisekeepers
They fixed upon a day, secured the
house of mutual friend and sent out
six invitations to luncheon which was
to be prepared and served'by their own
fair hands. Upon the appointed day
the six young men, punctual to such an
appetizing engagement, were welcomed
by six pretty cooks, dressed like the
soubrcttes in comedy, with bare arms,
dainty little caps, short skirts and em-
broidered white aprons. After having
conducted their guests upon a tour Of
inspection, letting them peep into the
ovens and oversee the cooking Of the
beefstcals that they might be sure there
was no trickery, they all sat down to .
table decked with flowers and enjoyed
delicious meal perfectly served.
A few weeks later Ohio was the richer

of recent history as this need not pro

in 1892.
1t was not merely In congress that
this construction of the republican

Resolutions indorsing the bill were
also passed by republican state conven-

North Carolina, North Dakota, Ohio,
