The report comes from Washington,
and evidently from reliable source,
that the republican leaders are serious
ly debating the question of withdraw
ing Whitelaw Reid from the ticket. 1t
is true that Reid has made the conces-
sions demanded by the printers, but of
what value are they as determining his
sincerity or his friendliness toward Or
ganized labor. A reform extorted I'M
der threat can hardly be expected to
be permanent, and at any rate, in
Reid's case, itecannot be considered as
indicating any special regard for the
workinglnan.-Inde appeal.

An Amazon of the West.

A dispatch to the New York World,
from Marshall, Mimi, says: "a giant
girl, with her hair flying loose, has
been found in the woods, near here,
living in a cave. A man who has been
missed live stock was driving his cattle
to water, when he saw the enormous
girl climbing up the hillside. He fol-
lowed her into the cave, where she
sprang upon him, threw him down and
dragged him out down the hillside.
The man was glad to escape. She is
supposed to be Mena Lorsen, a Nor
wegian girl"

Missionary to deaf-mutes in this country
seems to be ubiquitous One day he is in the
extreme South and the next in the North,
ever going, never ceasing in his mission, SEEM

published at Bellville, Ontario, Canada, says:
"Rev. Job Turner, the well-known, and
popular missionary to the deaf, made us an
unexpected and most agreeable visit on Sum
day, the 18th inst, arriving from Montreal the
previous evening. He conducted services in
the chapel of the Institution twice, and his
discourses were highly appreciated. He is a
venerable and noble worker in the cause of
Christianity, and is beloved by the deaf of this

The temperance plank in the Repub-

lows
1--WE sympathize with all wise and
legitimate efforts to suppress and PIE
vent the evils of incompetence and
promote morality" and yet it is said
that more wine and whiskey were
drunk at Minneapolis during the ses-
sion of the convention than was ever
known before. If the party is in favor
of prohibition or high license why
didn't it have the honesty to say so,
instead of trying to conceal its tracks
under such an arrogant mask of n.y.
pocracy? 1t is on the same order of de-
ception that the silver or bimetallic
plank of their platform is formed
They have worded it to deceive the
