The testimony given at New-IIaven yeSter
day concerning the alleged marked ballots was
calculated to put the Democrats to complete
confusion. In the famous election OF 1890,
1875 Republican ballots in Bridgeport were re-
jected by Democratic official on the ground
that they were marked. Under the micro
scope it was demonstrated that the marks were
due merely to printers ink, and the evidence
was so convincing that the Democrats made no
attempt to dispute it. Gradually the great
Connecticut tangle is being Strengthened out
and Republican rights are being established.
A special case to test the constitutionality OF
the New-Jersey Ballot Reform law was passed
upon by the Supreme Court at Trenton yes
terday. The law was upheld in every point,
the court affirming that any reasonable regula-
ton to secure the secrecy of the ballot is not
a derivation Of the right to vote. The gen.
eral principle of ballot reform is well estab-
lisbed by this time, but still every confirma-
ton of it is welcome. New-Qersey's law on
this subject is by no means one OF the best that
have been enacted in the country.
1t was highly Characteristic of Senator Hill
to undertake to show from the testimony OF
John /. Davenport that the investigation OF
naturalization frauds in this city had been con-
Quoted on a partisan basis. To the Senator's
mind it was most suspicious circumstance that
money to prosecute such cases had been con-
tributed by members of the Union League
Club, and he was anxious to learn the names
Of the subscribers. Does Mr.. Hill suspect that
the idea of raising money for this purpose in
Tammany Hall ever entered Mr.. Davenport's
head? Naturalization frauds in the interest OF

The stately tulips their leaves unfold,
Fair Flora walks through the garden bowers,
And the verdant meadows starred with eoA
The oriole sings on a bending spray,
The groves and orchards sweet with tune
And we draw a breath Of delight and say.
What Is so rare as a day In June!'

Jimmy Had Been Doing.

There is a certain faithful retainer,
whom will call Jimmy for short, who
has been in the employ of either Lester
Wallack or Theodore Moss since the
days when Jennie Hughes first played
in the French Spy" and led society in
Bond street. In the old days Jimmy's
duties were many and varied, and one
of them was to station himself on first
nights at the rear of the first balcony
in the center of a galaxy of billposters
and other photographic guests of the
management. and at suitable moment
to lead spontaneous call for Mr.. Wal
lack. Jimmy is now bright, fresh
faced lad of fifty-seven, and is still in
the employ Of Mr.. Moss.
The other evening during perform
ance he was peacefully doing in the
balcony, when a loud burst of applause
brought him suddenly to his feet, and
he startled the house with loud call of
"Wallack! Wallack! Wallackr 1t was

darkness that he awol;e to the fact
that it was not the first night of the

A Daring Sneak Thief.

Residents of Hyde Park can now sit
down to their tables and enjoy their din
ners without having the pleasure of the
meal marred b. the fear that "climber"
was probably pillaging the upper stories
of their home. The Hyde Park police
have captured Bruno Pruhn, daring
sneak thief and porch climber. To him
are attributed by the police the numer-
Gus robberies which have occurred in
Hyde Park during the last few months
Pruhn always uses the same tactics
in entering house. He selects a resi-
dence which stands next to an unfin-
ished building and enters it on one of the
upper stories from one of the windows
or the roof of the new structure while
the family is on the first floor or base
ment at dinner. Pruhn selected Hyde
Park as base of operations because
much building is going on, and he could
easily find house to suit his plans

manned in force, and therefore the free
trader insisted on repeal of the law was
the only way to avoid paying this bur
densome tax. The Solway Process
company was organized at SYRIA
cuse, n. Y, and commenced man
ufacturing soda-ash January 1,
1884. The factory cost 81 500, 900. the
only one of the kind on this hemisphere.
with capacity of 10000 tons annually.
The price of the commodity fell in the
American market as low as S2S a ton in
three years, saving to the people an
nually of $28 tor, on the entire con-
sumption of 10000 tons, or an aggre-
gate saving of S3,500,000 The law
imposing the duty was still in force, and
yet the opponents of the protective
system kept on denouncing the duty of
s. ton as an additional cost and tax,
and kept on urging the repeal of the law
as the only way to avoid paying SOB
ton for soda-ash. They paid $4S ton to
the foreign manufacturer willingly, and
yet they were not willing to pay one of
their own countrymen, a home manu-
facturer, $2S a ton for the same COM
modify, Such is free trade devotion to
a principle.

Lemont N. Leavitt was born in June,

A Telephone Marvel.

An interesting and amusing instance
of the efficacy of the London-Paris tele-
phone occurred the other day which is
worth recording. The Salvation Army
band were marching from the Royal
exchange playing the "Marseillaise, ="
when an idea struck the men present in
the telephone room. The windows and
doors were thrown open, and the at

he could hear anything. The response

a REMINISCENTIAL FACT.

Previous TO 1884 there was not a pound
of soda-ash manufactured in the United
States nor any duty on soda-ash. The
commodity cost the consumer $4S a ton
under that free trade condition. The
price was paid 20 the foreign maaGfac

The New York Tribune's census of
millionaires and multi-millionaires shows
that but small per cent. of them made
their money in protected industries.
This accords with the following asser-
tons once made by Hon. James G..
Blaine: "In no event can the growth of
large fortunes be laid to the charge of
the protective policy. Protection has
proved distributor of great sums of
money, not an agency for amassing it III
the hands of a few. The records of our
savings banks and building associations
can be appealed to in support of this
statement. Tie benefit of protection

WOMAN'S EDUCATION.

The Woman's college of Baltimore,
which was founded by the Methodist
Episcopal church several years ago, is
doing very effective work in the higher
education of women. Besides having
already accumulated fund of $3.50, 900,
part of which has been invested in build
ingS and part held as the nucleus of an
endowment, the institution has received
gift 100000 from a Baltimorean
whose identity is unknown. The curri.
culum of the school includes, in addi-
ton to the usual studies, music, art, BIZ
ology, physics and chemistry; and it is
proposed TO introduce a preliminary
medical course such as that now re-
quired in the preparation Of students
for admission to the medical course of
the Johns Hopkins university. The
Woman's college of Baltimore seems
likely not only to realize the high ideal
which its founders had set up for it, but
to become soon an important factor in
the culture of womanhood.

A speaker at Kingman said that Jerry

Otis should not repine. He will have a
chance to retrieve himself at the next ses-
sion of congress by voting with the Re-
publican party.
Llewelling has been nominated for gov
ernor, and great many of the Alliance
men expect the Republicans to nominate
Ssmith, or Mmorrill or Mmurdock.
Llewelling, who the Alliance nominated
for governor, is a tall. well-built man with
a bald head. He resembles David Bennett

History is said to repeat itself. Four or
five years ago Chester Long and Jerry
Simpson ran against each other for the
legislature, and Chester wiped the earth
up with Jerry.
Jerry Simpson sees a great many things
after all. While they were still cheering
him after his denomination ne turned to
reporter with ser-ous air and said:
"There is only one trouble with thls-it is
too unanimous"
Medicine Lodge is the home of both
Chester Long and Jerry Simpson. There
seems to be nothing left for the Democrats
to do but select good man from Medi-
cine Lodge and nominate him for con-
gress.

The lynching mania throughout the
country has at last attracted the atten-
ton of the congress and the administra-
ton and some action will no doubt be
taken looking to the prompt suppression
of the practice that is breeding disregard
for law and seriously jeoparding the
peace of the country. The situation is
serious and ought to enlist the earnest
and active cooperation of all good citi-
zens. The primary cause of the trouble
is the laxity, universally prevailing, in
the enforcement of the laws. If the
community will but express firm de-
mand for the prompt and fair enforce
ment of state laws, it will do more to
suppress the feeling of discomfort and
disrepect for law than all the interest the
the national government can manifest.
This must be done if the community
would save itself from Anarchy; in
truth, it is the only way to accomplish
the desired end. 1t is not question of
sentiment alone; it is question of right,
of justice, of self-interest if not preser-

GRAIN GAMBLING AND GAMBLERS

A recent issue Of the Chicago Inter
Ocean contains 4 timely article on grain
gambling and gamblers, evidently pre-
pared by one having a thorough knowl-
edge of the subject. While the main
facts of the subject are not new, the
writer presents and illustrates them in
such manner as TO throw strong light
upon, perhaps, the most villainous sys-
tenn of speculation that ever found shell
ter under the mantle OF reputable bust
ness associations. The gst of the article
is contained in the declaration, startling
but true, that: There can be no sue
cessful contradiction of the affirmation
that speculation, not facts of production
or consumption, makes the history of
the grain market" 1t is, of course, not
asserted ,Aat supply and demand have
ceased TO be basic factors in regulating
prices of grain, but it is affirmed that
those market margins which involve all
and sometimes more than the farmers
profits, are controlled by the bulls and
bears" of the wheat pit" who have
seized the reins of commerce and handle
them in the interests of speculation, re-
gardless of supply and demand.

A Dmcris Task.

In the mayors Office at the city ha
there is large safe used for storirs
public documents. The safe is set into
the wall and was placed there when the
structure was built Inside Is a steel
burglar proof chest, having four bolt
Yale combination lock. The safe also
has a combination lock- After the death
of Mayor Doyle, in 1886, the little chest
was found to be securely locked and
nobody had the combination. u then
developed that Mayor Doyle was the
only person who knew the numbers by
which the chest could De yened, and
accordingly it remained securely fas-
tened, nobody having any lea of the
contents. The chest wa unopened
through the terms of Mayor Doyle's sue
cessors until yesterday.
When Mayor Potter took charge of
affairs ne learned the history of the steel
chest, and short time ago read the ac-
count of how Herbert S. Page fathomed
the mysteries of the most intricate safe
locks with ease. A combination of nat
ural curiosity and desire TO know wbeth-
er or not any public documents were IN
the steel compartment induced the
mayor to forward a communication to
Mr.. Page requesting him to come to this
city, and if possible open tie ';ttfe safe.
Mr.. Page arrived and in the presence -
a number of city officials commenced
the work. He found the lock most
intricate one, being capable of 100000
600 changes He labored forty minutes
and at the end of the time the bolts
swung back and the door opened. There
was nothing in the chest.
After opening the door Mr.. Page stud
led out the combination and discovered
that the combination, which it was be-
lieved had died with Mayor Doyle, was
70-50-456. The lock was designed es-
pecially to prevent opening by sense of
touch, and Mr.. Page was highly COM
plimented for his skillful work.-Provi-

The position of the Republican party
on the money question gives promise of
forcing the Democrats to decision on
that, to them, very troublesome PROPOSE
ton. And that decision will undoubt-
edly be an endorsement of the Repub-
lican declaration, that is, the coinage of
both gold and silver en- a parity of value
and on equal terms. The Republican
party took the first step in this matter
by providing, through act of congress
and subsequent call by the president,
for conference of nations to fix the
basis or ratio of value between the two
metals in coin. In no other way can the
coinage question be definitely and salts
factorily and permanently settled so
long as commercial intercourse between
the nations is maintained.

Republicans are not making them
selves conspicuous by vociferous demon
STATIONS over the prospects for sure sue
cess to the party in county, district, state
and national contests this fall. This, the
opposition is trying to pursuade itself to
believe is an omen of lack of interest
among Republicans and of sure success
to Demo-Alliance, separately or in COM
bination. That is just the condition Re-
publicans desire to see. They never have
felt more confideE: - success than they
do at the present moment, because of the
consciousness they experience of the
righteousness of their cause, and the
knowledge of the fact that the opposition
is relying mainly upon what they con-
slider the inactivity of the Republicans.
The outlook is entirely satisfactory to
the great party of progress and success.
