At present there are in the Senate forty-siN
republlcans forty democrats and two Farmers

republicans, forty democrats and two Farmers
Alliance men. 1t looks now as though
after the 4th of March next there
will be forty-three republicans, forty
three democrats and two Farmers Alliance
representatives. One OF these-Senator Pef-
fer Of Kansas-would vote with the republican
party on almost every proposition to which it
is liable to attach itself. Should Senator KYLE
insist on being on the other side of any mo-
mentous question there could easily be tie,
and this would have to be broken by the cast
ing vote of the Vice President who would
necessarily be democrat.

ELECTION IN JERSEY CITY.
The Democrats Given a Most Glorious
TrOuncing.

JERSEY CRY, N. j., April ia IT,
dal wave of popular indignation struck
Jersey City yesterday and wiped out
the Democratic ring which has SO long
cursed that municipality. Colonel
Peter F. Wanser, the Republican can
didate for mayor, carried the day by
over 5000 majority.
The ring officials then gave the con-
test up and conceded the Republican
candidates election.
There is plenty of evidence that the
Democrats resorted to the grossest
frauds. They withwheld the registry
lists for days. When the final compu-
tations were made it was found that
the registration was almost double the
entire vote of the city polled last fall.
Repeaters came up to the booths and
when the Republican election officers
demanded their arrest the police shield
ed the criminals and abused the COM
plainants. The people, however, rose
in their indignation and rebuked these
unlawful deeds by an overwhelming
defeat of the rascals.

Our Glory.

England has the markets of the
world, " says the free trader. Yes, but
o God, at what fearful cost The
massacre of Sinkat and the siege of
Tokar are part of the price paid for
her trade with India. For trade Eng
land buries her diplomats in African
Jungles. For trade she harasses Tur-
key. For trade she bombards Alexan-
dria. For trade she stains the ocean
with the blood of her bravest, and at
the point of the bayonet pushes her
goods where vice and disaster makes
want, or carnage supplants industry.
The Republican party is for home pro-
duction and domestic exchange be-
tween our own States This exchange
in the United States today is five times
as great as that of any other equal
number of people on earth and our
condition is superior to England in
every respect. The American flag is
and will be recognized, saluted and
honored upon every sea, not because it
is out hunting the markets of the
world" but because it floats over a
surplus that existed after people had
been fed clothed, and warmed. -Clarks-
burg Telegram.

Martin, he sent the sheriff of Monroe
County word that he did not want to
hurt him, but he must not come and
try to arrest him. The sheriff summon
ed posse of 10 men, and, with Charley
Ray, his deputy, they went to Tobe
Miller's house, where Murphy and his
brothers were. Sheriff Mexican order
ed them to surrender, and they opened
fire on the posse with Winchesters. A
hot fire from both sides was keptup for
few minutes, and Charley Ray, the
deputy, fell with a bullet in his brain.
The sheriff was shot in the shoulder.
The Murphys made a dash from the
house and began firing. The whole
crowd then precipitately fed A messen-
ger was sent to Sweetwater to telegraph
the Governor of Tennessee for troops.
Fearing that the authorities would
prove too much for him, he crossed in
to North Carolina, where it will be al
most impossible to follow him.

JACKSON, Miss. April 1S.-Reports
from the flood stricken regions confirm
all heretofore said, and as the waters
on the Tombigbee and its tributaries
recede the destruction is more fully re-
allied.
Deputy Sheriff Crokers, of Lee Coun-
ty, was here and said that he was
passenger on the first Mobile and Ohio
train that crossed the Tombigbee River
in eight days. AT that point half a
mile of track had been washed out and
carried mile, where it lodged against
trees. Mr.. Crokers says the published
reports do not give half an idea of the
wreck and ruin in Lowndes, Clay and
Monroe Counties. Houses, fences and
bridges are all gone. Thousands of
dead horses, mules, cattle, hogs, sheep,
poultry and an occasional human body
can be seen in every direction,
The Warrior River in Alabama, just

PORTLAND, Me-, April 17.-This after.
noon shocking affair took place on
Emerson street. Mrs. James Robert
son cut the throat of her three weeks
old baby and then tried to kill herself.
The husband of the woman was in an
upper room at the time. He heard the
insane shrieks and laughter from his
wife, ran down stairs and found her
brandishing a razor over her head. In
her lap lay the dead babe, its throat
cut from ear to ear. AS soon as the
unfortunate woman saw her husband
she tried to cut her own throat, hack
ing at it several times. Robertson
sprang to the side of his wife and
caught her arms, shouting for help,
Two policemen happened to be near

Eggs at Easter.

The use of eggs for Easter can be
traced, says Count de Gebelin, in his
Religious History of the Calendar, to
the theology and philosophy of the
Egyptians, Persians, Gauls, Greeks and
Romans, among all of whom an egg
was symbol of the universe, q work
Of the supreme divinity. The Persians
gave presents of eggs at the feast of
the New Year-that is, the feast of the
vernal equinox-in honor of the re-
newal of all things. The Egyptians
held the egg as sacred emblem of the
renovation Of mankind after the del
uge. The Jews adopted it to suit the
circumstances of their history, as a
type of their departure from Egypt,
and it was used in the feast of the pass
over as part of the furniture of the ta-
BILE with the Paschal lamb. The early
Druids used the egg in their ceremonies.
In Russia one man greets another on
Easter with 'Jesus Christ is risen. y
"Yes, He is risen," reply is made; and
then an egg is given. In Moscow no
meeting takes place without this salu-
tation and exchange. 1.-THE meanest
pauper in the streets presenting an egg
and repeating the words 'Christos Vos-
crees may demand salute even of the
Empress. In some countries of Italy
eggs are carried to the church to be
blessed, and then taken home and set
out with flowers on the table,, Every
visitor during Easter week is invited to
eat an Easter egg, an invitation which
must not be refused. Eggs in all coun-
tries are sent as tokens at this time, and
enter into the sentiments and pastimes
of old and young ike.-Harper's Ba-
Herald and tribune. [volume] (Jonesborough, Tenn.) 1869-current, 1892-04-21
Strong Truths.

The purpose not to permit American
wages to be brought below the level of
comfortable living, and competence,
and hope, by competition with the pau
per labor of Europe, has taken a very
strong hold upon our people. Ap-
plause. And of kin to this suggestion
and purpose is this other: that we will
not permit this country to be made the
dumping ground of foreign pauperisni
and crime. [Great applause. There
are some who profess to be eager to ex-
clude paupers and Chinese laborers, and
at the same time advocate policy that
brings the American workingman into
competition with the product of cheap
foreign labor. The disastrous effects
upon our workingmen and working
women Of competition with cheap, un-
derpaid labor are not obviated by keep
ing the cheap worker over the sea ii the
product of his cheap labor is allowed
free competition in our market. We
should protect our people against COM
petition with the products of underpaid
labor abroad as well as against the
coming to our shores of paupers, ,laborers
under contract, and the Chinese labor.
Enthusiastic applause. These two
thoughts are twin thoughts; the same
logic supports both; and the Republic
can party holds them as the dual con-
clusion of one great argument.-Benja-
min Harrison.

The Journey of Life.

Ten thousand human beings start to-
gether on the journey of life. After
ten years one third at least have disap.
peared. At the middle points of the
common measure of life but half are
upon the road. Faster and faster, as
the eranks grow thinner, they that re-
main until now become weary and lie
down to rise no more. AT three score
and ten band of some four hundred
yet remain to struggle on. AT ninety
these have been reduced to a handful
of thirty trembling patriarchs. Year
after year they fall in diminishing
numbers. One fingers, perhaps, a
lonely marvel, till the century is over.
We look again and the journey of life
is finished.
