Dairymen find that during "dog-day"

SUCCESS OF THE COPYRIGHT LAW.
The passage of the copyright law was
a cheerful triumph over those who held
that while theft in general was inadvisa-
BILE, it was not wicked to steal books.
And, moreover, it was a triumph over
those who claimed that with copyright
law, books would cost more and the book
trade would be injured. Not only have
an increased number of cheap books
been published, but the book trade in
general is said to have been more pros
porous since the passage Of the copy
right law than at any time within long
period of years.-BroOklgn Times.
The position of Deputy Clerk of the
United States Circuit Court for New
England, with salary of two thousand
dollars, has been offered Miss Lillian c..
Rogsrs. For the last seven years she has
been an attache of the Clerks Office in
the District Court, and she declines the
new post from disinclination to change
her work and doubt of her capacity to
fulfil the novel duties. Miss Rogers is
only twenty-five years old, and is the first
woman such an honor has been offered
by the Federal Courts.

The Result.

Besides electing President
and a big majority of the Lower
House, the Democrats have capt
ured enough State Legislatures to
insure the election Of enough
Democratic Senators, to take their
seats the 4th Of next March, to
control that body also. And for
the four years next after March
the 4th, the nation will be under
Democratic control.
In Tennessee Peter Turney is
elected by about 10000 plurality.
The Legislature will contain So
Democrats, % Republicans and 5
POpulists. In the Senate there
will be % Democrats, 4 Republi-
cans and | Populist.
We publish the official returns
of Hardin county in the late elec-
ton. j. Nj. CASTLE, the fusion can
didate for the State Senate, re-
ceived the highest number of
votes cast, while the Prohibition
electors received the lowest.
East, the Prohibition candidate
for Governor, received twenty-one
more votes in this county than did
Kelley two years ago, but his vote
in the State will be below that of
Kelley.
The Peoples party vote WAS n
long shot too short to carry any
thing. Buchanan, their candidate
for Governor will hardly get 30
900 votes in the State.
AS TO who Willie the next Con-
cressman from this district, we
are unable yet to say. Both Enioe
and Thiashcr claim to be elected.
We srppo4c 'ha; 4. c. Wyatt,
the Democrat, has been elected to

o4lh district, but or this we have

RAILROAD NEWS.
MH. \. K. HASTEN, PRESIDENT or
 TUE NJ. & F.. IN THE CITY
A Special Car Bearing Several Prominent People-Looks Like the Road Would be Built.

Last evening a special car bearing Mir. x. K. Masten, president of the Maricopa and Phoenix railroad, also financial agent of the Southern Pacific, arrived in the city. Mir. Masten comes to attend the annual election of directors and off, cers of the road which takes place today and likewise, it is presumed, to look in. to that little matter of an extension which is being mooted on the streets. In connection with Mir. Masten's pres ence here, it might be mer toned that Grant Bros. the well-known railroad con- tractors are in the city and are doing some very mysterious figuring. Grant Bros. are busy men and do not spend much time running about the country on wildcat schemes. Wm. Hood, chief engineer of the Southern Pacific. who was out here some days ago, is also ex- pected to return in about three weeks.
 Take it all in all, between the Mas tens, the Crockers, Fillmores, Hoods and Grants, it looks as though some thing was about to be done. TIE RE- PUBLICAN and the people hope so and will lend any support which comes in theIr way.
 President Masten was accompanied here by Sidney NJ. Smith and wife Pedro Vessel, who has spent some years railroad building in Chili; Miss Irene Masten and Miss Brown.

Sense in National Proverbs.

There is deal of sound sense in the proverbs of a nation. Earl Russell de- fined proverb as being the wit of one man and the wisdom of many, and the aptness of this is well shown in the fol- lowing from the Spanish, "Since we cannot get what we like, let us like what we get" The thought is as old as the race of mankind. but ages passed before one man hit upon tho happy expression of it. This saying, from the Chinese, is whole homily on pride in one sentence, When tree is blown down, it shows that the branches are longer than the roots"
 For concise expression of the lofty aspirations of youth and the sober achievements of riper years, take this sentence from Henry D. ThoreGu, "The youth gets together his materials to build a bridge to the moon, or perchance palace or temple on the earth, and at length the middle aged man concludes to build woodshed with them. ."-B. A. Heydrick in Brains
