The Sidney Democrat discovers that
there are nearly 1000 illegally married
people In that county, that is, people
who think they are married but who
are not. In these cases the minister's
certificate of marriage has never been
returned to the Probate Court. 1t has
been repeatedly and thoroughly well
attested in the courts that in every
such case there is no final anvulnerable
evidence that that marriage ever took
place. The principal record is absent.
The law imposes fine of $50 on min
listers for falling to make the legal re-
turn of certificate of marriage within
three months.

A Kissing Campaign.

There is q Governor to be elected in
Alabama, and Gov. Jones and Capt.
Reuben F. Kalbe are the only Demo-
cratic. candidates. Instead of slinging
mud at each other, as Foraker and
Sherman have done, the aspiring
Alabamians have begun kissing
campaign. At mining camp near
Birmingham, called Adger, after a
speech by Governor Jones, "a dance was
gotten up and the Governor could not
refuse to participate. So he led out the
prettiest married woman present, Mrs.
Johns, the wife of the mine Superin-
tendent, and went through the
figures. At the close of his dance he
imprinted kiss on his partners fair
cheek, and was vociferously applauded
by the miners, having evidently made
ten-strike into their affections. Capt.
Kalbe, however, was not to be eclipsed
by his competitor, and at a similar
gathering which also happened at
Adger, after his dance with the
charming wife of the mine boss, Mrs.
Hillhouse, he kissed her twice! Now
every political meeting closes with a
dance and the two candidates are very
busy dishing out jokes to the men
and kisses to the most popula rladies
The courage of Governor Jones and
Captain Kalbe, we presume, is beyond
question.

The american Wool Reporter IN its
annual review of the wool trade shows
that the prices ofdomestic wool during
the year on an average have declined
about two cents per pound, and
Australian and other foreign wools
only one cent. During great part of
the year an unusually large amount of
foreign wool, notably Australian, has
been sold in American markets, which
has displaced an equal amount ofdo-
mestic fleeces, which were for long
period conspicuously inactive and
accumulating in quantity. The Nc
Kinley bill does not seem to have inn
proved the wool market.

REPREsENTATI We BLoUNT, of Georg-

Foreign Affairs, thinks the House
made a mistake in defeating the joint
resolution authorizing tie Secretary of
the Navy to charter a steamship to
carry the food which has been con-
tributed to the famine-stricken Rus
slams, and that it was done through a
misapprehension and the lack of
proper information. He has moved a
reconsideration of the vots, and expects
that the resolution will be passed when
it again comes up.

We have heard great deal In the
press about the treasurer of Allen
county suing Senator Brice for back
taxes. 1t may also be added that no
less parsonage than Senator Sher-
man has been sued by the treasurer of
Richland county on the identical
ground upon which the Allen county
treasurer seeks to recover from Senator
Brice. The case has been standing for
years and the taxes are yet unpaid.
In the suit Senator Sherman claimed
that the property is not taxable in
Ohio and a judgment of over $4,000
stands against him, which has been
appealed.
