Colby's Fare WAS in No Hurry.

1t was a lengthy and slowly moving fun
neral cortege. Broadway was crowded, and
at times the driver of the hearse vas obliged
to bring his horses to walk.
From the sea of vehicles a hanson cab
suddenly evolved itself The cabby was
flashing his steei furlously and his passen-
ger seemed to be highly agitated. The han
som wound in and out of the line with won
derfuI rapidity and was just on the point of
dashing 'oyer clean stretch of pavement
when the hearSe drifted squarely in 'front.'
For two blocks the cabby was obliged to
jog along behind, and at last his patience
gave out
{" Say, YOU" he shouted at the hearse
driver, ''get out of the way My fares in
hurryP'
That's all right" returned the other,

THREATENED RETALIATION.

SAN JOSE. Jan. 18.-The Mercury to- NOR

Eastern tree-dealers are greatly exercised
over the attitude of California in ref
erence to the importation Of diseased
stock is shown by the letter printed below.
which was received by a nurseryman in
this city. 1t will be seen that there is de-
sire to retaiate by urging Congress to re-
move the protective tariff from foreign
fruits in order to injure the home industry.
There is hardly doubt however, that
such an effort would fail, for no matter now

gress would not be apt to lend itself 10

was to ruin the great industries of q great

not indiscrminate, as Implied in the letter.
but is confined to those trees which are
from infested districts and are known to be
diseased. The letter reads as follows:

Queer but True.

II there is any one thing that the av-
erage person feels called upon to criti-
cize it is the mode and manner in
which a house Is being built. Every
body makes mistakes in buidiDg-the
house perfect Is an unknown quantity;
we doubt whether Vanderbilts new
marble palace will be flawless, and 1t
seems to be everybody else's mission
in life to stand around and point out
the mistakes regardless Of the fact that
they too are liable to err when they
start out to erect the ideal mansion. 1t
Is always fun to hear the comments
made on new house concerning the
poky little rooms, or vice versa the
barn like size of the interior, the bad
arrangement of chimneys, fiue holes
up In the neighborhood Of the ceiling,
too many doors, not enough windows
too small dining room, not enough
closets and so on through the whole
list of architectural omissions and
commissions. A man has right to
excuse his own Individual tastes and
ideas when it comes to putting up a
house but no matter how we'll he does
It his friends and neighbors will find
fault with his plans and specifications.

Natural Gas Getting Scant


tits reported that the gas fields in
Ohio are menaced by new and mys-
terious element that is shortening the
already scant supply Of natural gas.
What it is, Is best told In the words Of
President Baxter of the Lima Natural
Gas Company. Said he:
"We have new element to contend
with. Not only three of the wells we
have just drilled, but dozen In all of
our producing wells, have been recent
ly affected. 1t is a new substance to
us; what IL Is we don't know. It ID
neither saltwater nor oil, but a black,
thick matter, which is very effectual
in stopping the flow of the gas.
"We have been at work cleaning out
the wells and they are fairly successful,
but In 10 hours time the trouble reoc-
ours and the work has to be done
over.n
Those who have examined sample
OF the matter say il is black, thick
mixture, smelling of oil, with slight
salt taste, but there is evidence Of a
foreign substance, In all probability

been evaporated ina cup, the residum
being soft, black powder, resembling

ing both above and below the Trenton

Nor few republicans Of this town
for weeks have been playing Wild
game Of bluff with their democratic
neighbors. The latter have smiled
and even grinned but retained a si-
lence very exasperating as well as
misleading. Bets on Harrison have
seemingly been doing good business
but such impression was radically
wrong. When Jefferson laid down
the principles Of Democracy, it was
tacitly understood between him and
his followers that bluffing is at all
times in bad taste. And SO it is; and
our local Democracy being Of the very
best, never indulge. Reps, knowing
such aversion to exist, have devel-
oped into state of arrogance very an
noying. Sunday night the wind
shifted. The republican buffers
found themselves confronted with
condition instead of theory, when
several prominent democrats gave II
as their intention of fmaking a social
call on Monday for the purpose of ac-
cepting any and all bets that might be
offered. And they called too. Meth

Chief
of the Grand Army
COMPELLED TO DESERT THE
REPUBLICAN PARTY.
Cleveland's Vetoes of Pen
sions the Primary Cause.
Special Dispatch to the EnquIrer.l


MINNEAPOLIS, MINI, October 25.-
1t developes at a late hour tonight
that John P. Rea, Ex-Commander-in
Chief of the Grand Army OF Republic,
has deserted the Republican party. 1t
is as yet known to but few men of his
party, but it is believed that Judge
Rea's flop means that the Republican
party is doomed In this State. Judge
Rea has held many offices under his
party. and two years ago stumped the
State for his ticket. The significant
part of the affair is that Judge Rea's
convention was primarily brought
about by Cleveland's pension vetoes.
Speaking of
HIS CHANGE OF HEART
Judge Rea said tonight: "There was
so much talk in Grand Army circles
on the subject Of these pension vetoes
that determined to look it up for my
self. did SO thoroughly, and the re-
suit is that will show what / think OF
1t by voting for Mr.. Cleveland. I fail
to find a single veto that was not
based upon principles ofright and JUS
tice, and / honor Cleveland for his up
right and manly course.
"I believe his sympathies are and al
ways havebeen with the old soldier, and
I can prove my belief in no more con-
vincing way than bygiving to him the
first vote I have ever cast for Demo
crat. In the next place, lam con-
vinced the Republican party is
WRONG IN IT'S TARIFF THEORIES.
And that the country will say SO In
unmistakable language, and on this
account also I will cast my vote fol
the Democratic platform and the man
who stands upon it. In Minnesota
there is every reason why thinking
man should support Lawlor, the
Democratic candidate for Governor,
and will be one Of the many good Re-
publicans who will support him.

Ge, Ont the Vote.

The most important part ofcampaign
work Is arranging TO get outthe full
democratic vote. Only few days re-
main until election, but In that time
plans must be lnaugurated that will re-
suit in getting out the vote and In
structIng democrats how TO mark their
ballots SO that they will be right. The
county committee are perfecting all
these arrangements, and 1t but remains
with the voters whether afull vote will
be polled on the sth, or not. Absent
Democrats must be brought to their
proper places Of voting, and those who
contemplate moving should be eau
toned against any change Of residence
that may lose them their right to vote.
Let every true democrat remember
that It is ballots and not beliefs that
are counted. A man may have an
unalterable faith In the principles and
policies of the Democratic party but II
he does not vote he might as well have
no politics. AS Governor Hill, ofNew
York, says: "whoever is a Democrat
this year will go to the election and
vote the Democratic ticket" There
fore, fellow Democrats, do not be caugh'
mapping, do not be deceived by the
falsehoods and ISLANDERS of Republican
tricksters, but te vigilant and aggres-
sIve until the polls close at 6 O'Clock
on Tuesday evening, November 8. Il

win There be State Fair in 1893 ?

At recent meeting of the State
Board of Agriculture, the question Of
whether the board shall attempt TO
hold state fair next year in the face
of the Worlds Fair, was raised and
discussed. The general sentiment
seemed to be against. A motion that
1t was the opinion ofthe present board
that no fairshould be held WAS carried
but afterward reconsidered and the
matter postponed until the January
meeting. It's virtually settled, bow
ever that there will be no State fair in
1893, though as the matter now stands
the board will wait to see what the
other States do In this matter. The
new board will decide the question,
not the present board.
