He Abjurds His Party.

Edward Foley, the general foreign
freight agent of the New York, Lake
Erie and Western railroad company,
who has hitherto been supporter
of Grover Cleveland, has become
disguised the attitude Democratic
party on financial questions and says
he will vote for Harrison Reid
Mr.. Foley was asked to be one Of
the vice presidents of the Produce
and Maritime Exchange Cleveland
and Stevenson Club, but declined
to accept the Office or to contribute
to the Democratic campaign fund.
When asked by reporter why he
had left the Democratic party, Mr.
Foley said:
at is because of the free silver
vote of the Democrats in the Senate.
do not dare to trust the Democrat
ic party in power. / was a Demo
crat for many years, during the war
and afterward, until the Democracy
opposed the resumption of specie
payment and tried to ruin the coun-
try with greenbacks. Then I left
them for time, but afterward con-
cluded that they were safe enough
in general, and returned to my old
allegiance in 1884. I voted for
Cleveland that year and again in
1883. The vote of the majority of
the Democrats III the Senate for free
silver and the tendency of the Rep
resentatives in the same direction,
notwithstanding the declaration of
the platform, shows shat the party ID

privileges they would. fear, pass .

Mr.. Cleveland and believe he would
veto it, yet he might die, and / don't

He might sign such bill, particu-
larly ifstrong pressure were brought
to bear on him.
"The Democrats seem bound to
take up everything that will harm
the country. Cleveland Is all right,
but what effect have his utterances
on his party. They simply ignore
him. The history of the Democratic
party has been this, after an idea has
been discussed and thought over and
a foolish policy which may have been
advocated by people in both parties
has been pushed aside by Republi-
cans, the Democrats take it up in
defiance of the platform declarations
which they feel compelled to make,
and try to force it onto the country.
After the Republican leaders
from Sherman down have discovered
the mistakes in our past silver legis-
lation, the Democracy comes forward
as the champion of a policy well
known to be dangerous to the coun
try. have always tried to keep

s. PATENT JACKIE

In an Iowa town there once lived, and
may still live for all we know, an old man
irreverently called Patent Jack" He
was the inventor or patentee of numerous
agricultural implements, fences, gates, pig
pens, hay racks, etc., and carried on bus
mess in patent rights generally. He was
posted on patents, had the whole patent Of
fee at his finger ends; but no one remem-
bered having ever Known of his selling a
patent. of his having one dollar, or of his
doing days manual labor. Yet he was a
genius so impecunious that people said he
had to strike at his span of mules crOsswise
in order to hit them. 'Jackey." as he was
called for short. lived with his wife and
maiden daughter in very poor house; in
deed, he was very poor man with very
poor credit at the store and elsewhere. But

flying little. When Jackey was absent
his credit was not worth an icicle, but when
Jackey was present to exercise his persua
sive powers the stOrekeeper became as clay
in the potter's hands and fell sure victim
to Jackey's credit system. There was no
resisting his smiling display of pearly teeth
teeth that were the evidence of more
prosperous days long gone by. Young and
new clerks were his especial delight. They
could not, Notwithstanding the strict in
functions of their employers, resist the
Establishment of the pleasant, dignifed old
gentleman. The storekeeper seeing old
Jackey approaching with basket in hand
would harden his heart and VOW that the
old ''cuss" should not get so much as red
herring without the cash: but when Jackey
stepped in bowling and smiling and enquir.
ing about Mrs. Merchants health and the
baby's health and grumbling because they
had not made the promised evening call.
etc.. ETC.. Mr.. Merchants resolution grew
shaky. Jackey never let up on his smiling
and talking until the hypnotized dealer had
filled the basket and he had the covers care
fully fastened down. Then he would ask

Deeming, the Englishman accused of so

Australia, on the 23rd inst. He died like a
coward. He is now charged with the
White Chapel murders and with nearly
every other mysterious murder that has
taken place within the past ten years in
England. Australia and South Africa. The
crimes that it is pretty we'll known he COM
mitted are enough to stamp him as the
most heartless criminal of modern times.
Women and his own children were the vic,
Tins of his horrible mania. We call it
''mania" because it is not patriotic to the
human race to hold that one of it's sane
members would act as this man has. A veil
should be thrown over such monstrous
things; but mankind likes to exhibit it's
monstrosities. so the daily press is filled
with the details of the last scenes in Deem
ing's career and that. too. at an immense

Great preparations have been made for
the accommodation of newspaper reporters
at the Republican National convention to
be held in Minneapolis. Space has been
set aside in the convention hall around the
speakers stand for 29S representatives of
1S9 leading newspapers. Besides this. $50
seats have been reserved for the reporters
of less important papers in the gallery near
the speakers stand. Telegraph offices have
been fitted up in the building, and it is es-
timated that they will be able to send out
100000 words per day. What dull,
cumberOus country this would be if it were
not for the newspaper, the telegraph and
the railroad to keep US informed and to
bring us together? We couldn't get along
without them. All praise to Gutenberg,
Morse and Stephenson!

THE PRISON MIRROR is a weekly paper pub
lished in the Minnesota state prison. All matter
published in its columns is contributed by the
inmates, except that properly credited. Its sup
port must come from the outside as every inmate

the interest of the prison library and after paying
for the printing outfit, contributed $3.50 to the
library fund the first year. Its objects are to en-.
courage individual intellectual effort, provide a
healthy journal for the inmates of this and other
prisons, and, above all. to acquaint the outside
world with the needs of the prison by rejecting
its inner life and thus aid the cause Of moral ad.

the dirty work at the time of the woman:s

the other side have earned place in the
