There is a large and growing ele-

what republicans have been claiming
for years, namely. that ballot box stuff

smoothly as long as the negroes were
the only class defrauded OF their rights.

all who believe in new order of things,
under the leadership Of Kolb, former
democrat, and the peoples party can
didate for governor. OF course Jones,
the standout bourbon candidate, was
counted in, but Kolb will contest,
knowing how it was done when he
helped do it. ''In his statement Kolb
says that he can prove that he carried
the state by $4,000 majority. He claims
to have carried Pike county by $40
votes, but that it was given to Jones
by IS. He claims that in Wilson
county the returns were held back ten
days and the county was given to
Jones by majority of 4,900 while as
a matter of fact only 5000 votes were
actually polled. He claims that in
many of the counties the entire con-
tents Of the ballot boxes were removed
and strips of newspapers placed in
them in place Of the ballots. '-Repub-

REDFIELo.s THEORY OF STORMS.

Suggested 50 Ham by the vagsries or =
Gale In New England.
In the year 1891 . severe storm pre-
vailed along the eastern coast, which
for many years was known as the great
September gale" It held that title un-
ell September, 1859, when another and
more remarkable one occurred, which
rather disturbed It's claim to the honor.
u was little time after this first storm
chat William G. Redheld. the meteor
ologist, while making journey In
Massachusetts,, was struck by a some
what curious fact. He noticed that In
Massachusetts, the trees FRUSTRATED by
the wind all lay with their heads TO the
southeast, showing that the gale there
was from the northwest, but in Con-
necticut the trees blown down In the
same storm lay head to the northwest,
showing that the gale had been a south
east one. He ascertained, moreover,
that when the wind was blowing south
east in Middletown, his home, II was
northwest at a place not seventy miles
from there. It was then that the idea
flashed across his mind that the gale
was q progressive whirlwind. That was
q great thought. 1t was such fash Of
perception, as came to Newton when he
connected the falling apple with the
planets in space. 1t was such an In
sight into the meaning of a fact as
James Watt had when he saw the pos
sibilities of the force that was rafting
the lid of the kettle on his mothers fire.
The development of that idea was des-
tined one day to put Redfeld in the
rank of the great scientific thinkers Of
his day, says the Popular Science
Monthly. He made this storm the
basis of his Investigations. following
his researches into its movement by
careful collection of facts in relation -
others like it. For ten years he studied
and examined and compared his facts
before he published his theory of storms.

SOME LABOR STAT STICS.
Bare Facts That Don't Look Encouraging

Bare Facts That Don't Look Encouraging
for Workmen In Germany.
Recently published statistics col
lected from the trade associations in all
parts of the German empire do not con-
vey very favorable impression of the
Industrial classes in 1894. The statis-
ties are based on reports from 906 towns
and 924 associations, including all to-
gether sixteen different branches of
trade. In 229 of the towns mentioned
the rates Of wages were lowered during
1891, in 60 they remained unchanged,
and only in seven cases Is there any rise
recorded, although there was an In
crease In the prices Of the ordinary
necessaries Of life. The report of the
founders and engine makers shows that
out of 800 centers connected with this
industry In only two did wages rise,
while In seventy-two they fell, and in
the rest they remained stationary. The
cost of living increased in every case.
The depression manifested itself chiefly
in the largest centers, such as Berlin,
Breslau, Essen, Leipsic, ETC., where in
some cases work was totally suspended,
and in many others men were put on
short time. Only one single instance is
mentioned In which the discontinuance
of work In this branch Of industry was
caused by disputes between employers
and employed. The reports of the other
branches of trade, especially the sta
tistics sent by the Miners association,
are still less reassuring. These ret rms
have been collected from every qua Ter
of the empire, and II Is unanimously
affirmed that the worlmen cannot, In
existing circumstances, earn enough
for the proper support OF themselves
and their families.

Last Friday the local option case
came up before the Supreme Court.
The result was a complete Knockout
for the law and a victory for the saloon
lists. As will be seen by the following
from the Tribune the trouble was in
not complying with the law: 1.-THE
only question considered by the court
In disposing of the case was whether
there Is any record at all, such as the
law requires to be made of the proceed
ings under the local option act in order
to effectuate its provisions. Section six
Of the act, provides that when the board
Of supervisors shall determine that a
sufficient number of electors have pc
titioned for an election the board shall
30 declare and shall then make an order
calling the election and fixing the date
when 1t shall be held and this section
then provides that ''such orders shall
be entered in full upon the journal Of
the proceedings of the board for that
day and the same shall be signed by the
acting chairman and clerk of the board
before final adjournment" The court
says it is clear that these provisions
are mandatory and that they were en-
acted for the protection Of both public
interests and private rights. In the
Gratiot county case it is conceded that
the statute referred to has not been
complied with. The clerk in his re-
turn stated that the proceedings of the
board in this matter were not even
entered upon the journal until per
haps two or three weeks after final
adjournment" The chairman did not
sign the record for several months
thereafter, or until after Covert had
made his demand on the coun ~ treas
urer for receipt and after the time
when the treasurer claimed that the
local option law was In force in the
county under and by virtue of these
unsigned and unveriHed proceedings,
and at time also when the chairman
ut the time the proceedings were had
was out Of Office and had no authority
2 to perform u duty which the law re-
CURED him 10 perform at the time the
proceedings were taken. 1.-THE facts as
stated" says the court, "being not only
undisputed but admitted. There is
only presented to this court the one
question of law. which IL, whether the
unsigned and unauthenticated proceed
ings OF the board OF supervisors can
be held TO be a record such as the law
requires to be made in order to give
effect to its provisions and put the local
option law in operation within the limit
of the county Of Gratiot. 1--WE must
answer this question in the negative.
To hold otherwise would be to nulify
the plainly expressed provisions of the
statute referred to. 1t follows that the
writ of mandamus TO Covert must be
\ granted"

Illinois Central railroad is still run

The trains have to go very slow over

they are invaded by the water and
the fires put out. 1t is thought that

EXTENDING THE RATE WAR.

CHICAGO, July 5.-The fight over
the eastbound passenger business on
account of the conventions of the
National Educational association and
Society of Christian Endeavor has
already begun to spread. The Wa
bash gave notice today that 1t will
make rate of $40 from Chicago to
Boston and return, ,and will keep that
rate in force as long as the excursion
tickets for the above conventions are
in the market. Representatives of
the Wabash seek to Justify their &C.
ton by explaining that the Chicago
& Erie stole a march on them by
contracting for party of delegates
to the annual meeting of the Phar-
maceutical association at Boston,
leaving their rate at $40 for the round
trip. Then, in meeting this compe-
tition, the Wabash makes the same
rate for everybody, with stopover
privileges and extension of limit
tickets to September l5 to return, to-
gether with such other concessions
as have been made for the New
York meeting.

PUBLIC SCHOOL TEACHERS.

The school board held a meeting
last night at the Office of Hayward
q Sporleder for the election of teach
ers for the public school, with the
result that the whole of the present
staff was reelected. The board, in a
spasm of economy, seems to have
had more consideration for the tax
payers than for the teachers, as it
made slight reduction in their sal
aries, to enable two more teachers to
be employed. One Of these is Miss
Henry, and the other will be named
tonight. We are jubilant over the
election. as it not only shows that the
labors of the principal and teachers
have been appreciated, but it will
save the school from the calamity of
a change. The parents and children
have become used to the present in
cumbents and know and appreciate
their worth and services, and it will
save them from meeting strangers
who, by their innovations, may de-
stroy the work of the year. 1t is a
serious thing to change the teachers
of a school, for unless the change
means simplification of the methods
of instruction for the benefit of the
children, and deeper and varied know
ledge on the part of the teacher,
where is the improvement? The
welfare of the children must be con-
sidered first, last and all the time.
