A Law and Order Club.

We are reliably informed that a
law and order club has been
formed in this city, composed Of a
large number of our best citizens.
1t is the purpose Of the club to
see that the laws generally, and
especially those concerning cleo
tons, are enforced. There has
been too much lax administration
of justice in the past, and the club
will endeavor to see that the viola.
tors Of law are made to suffer for
their crimes.
In this connection the attention
of candidates is called to the fol-
lowing provisions of the law in
regard to bribery at primary
elections.
Article 10, Chapter 65 Of the
Acts of ISoI-'o2-'o3, reads as
follows:
Sec. FL. Any person guilty Of
receiving bride for his vote at
an election. or for his services or
influence in procuring vote or
votes at an election, shall be fined
from fifty to five hundred dollars.
and he excluded from office and
suffrage.
1. "Bribe" or bribery" means
any reward, benefit or advantage,
present or future, to the party in
huenced, or intended to be in.
huenced, or to another at his
instance, or the promise of such
reward, benefit or advantage.
2. Money or other thing of
value given or lent, in whole or
in part, to be betted on the result
Of election, or the promise there
of, or bet with another that such
other will vote for named candi-
date, and the gift or promise of
share in any such bet made or to
be made, shall be deemed a bribt.
3. Whoever shall receive money
or other thing Of value to be used
for the purpose Of procuring or
influencing vote or voters shall
be deemed to have been bribed.
Sec. %. Whoever shall bride
another shall, on conviction. be
fined from fifty to one hundred
dollars, or imprisoned from ten TO
ninety days. or both SO fined and
imprisoned. and be excluded from
office and suffrage.
Article IL, Chapter o5. of the
Acts Of 81, 90 and go, reads as
follows:
Sec. 3. Any act or deed de
nounced an ofense by the general
laws Of the State concerning cleo
tions shall also be an offense in all !
primary elections, and shall be !
punished in the same form and
manner as is provided for the
of similar ofenses
by the general laws; and all the
penalties and provisions Of the
general laws shall apply in such

Hustling Candidates.

AS the primary election to nom.
mate candidates on the Democrat
ic ticket for county Offices takes
place on Tuesday, the candidates
for the several positions are hust.
ling day and night. Monday is
county court day, and the last day
before the election, consequently
the crowd in town that day will
doubtless be large, and stagger
juice plentifuly.

A Row and a Deer.

A boy and big deer had quite
an argument about twelve miles
west of the city early yesterday
morning. The boy saw the deer ~
ing beside the fence and mistak-
ing it for calf, thought to catch
it in fun. He caught it and the an
NAL, starting up, dragged him
through the barbed wire fence. He
held on, though, and both fell, the
boy catching the deer's front feet.
The two scuffled awhile until a
Mexican came along and the two
proceeded to tie the deer with a
rope they secured, but the animal
again making a break, dragged
both his captors for some distance.
He was finally secured and carried
in triumph to the boys home.

that the canal of Mars as observed
last night begun to double and
that Prison ard Eupriates were

of the canals of the planet Mars is
a phenomenon for which astron-
mers have been watching with a
great deal of interest. The cause
of the duplication is by no means
determined. Mr.. Lowell is Of the
opinion that it is dependent upon
the season, and has pred icted all
along that the canal won Id not be
seen in duplicate until some time
in n ovember.

Stick to Your Own Trade.

NEW YORK, Nov. 20.-A meeting
of the.retail grocers' union of New
York was held last night and a
sharp discussion was held concern
ing the sale of groceries by the
large dry goods stores. 1t is
claimed that there is a great deal
of deception on the part Of the big
dry goods stores in selling grocer
les. The union members declare
their object is to attract people in
to the stores by advertising great
reduction sales of groceries, and if
they do not buy that class Of
goods they are tempted to pur-
chase other merchandise. A COM
mittee was appointed to draft
resolutions denouncing the selling
of groceries in dry good stores.

seabrooke, Isle of Champagne.


One of the most interesting an
nouncements for the season is the
engagement at the Grand Opera
house of Thomas @. Seabrooke and
his comic opera company in "The
Isle of Champagne" by Chas. A.
Byrne and Louis Harrison, Fri
day, Saturday and Sunday ;matinee
Saturday. No more brilliant sue
cess has been obtained for many
wears than that achieved by Mr..
Seabrooke in his Acknowledgements
and humorous impersonation of the
character of King Pommery Sec,
the exalted ruler Of "The Isle
Of Champagne" whose inhabitants
are supposed to have been igno-
rant OF the use of water as bever-
age until accident opens their eyes
to its luxurious advantages. The
story of the opera is amusing and
wholly original, and the scenes
and action admit Of great freedom
of design on the part OF the artist.
"TheIsle of Champagne" overlook
ed by geographers, lies upon the
billowy bosom of the sea Of the
choicest vintage. Wine spOuts from
its springs and courses in rivulets
through this paradise. There is
no water, not even for stock pur-
poses, in this very slight little
ISLE" If fire broke out the local
department set it down with a
stream of golden tizz, and the
laundry work is done by means OF
the same plentiful fluid. The cur
tain rises on the first act showing
a turretted castle, with moat, draw
bridge and portcullis complete,
lifting it's champagne spires into
the blue haze of tropical sky,
and surrounded by a bower OF
vines, erected on little elevation
commanding a perfect view of the
ocean beyond. The castles walls
are built in imitation Of the wicker
work Of champagne baskets, and
the towers are champagne bottles
From the loop-holes the irregular
and gnarled corks peep out, while
the decorations all take their
model from champagne associa-
lions. The cast includes the viva
cious prima donna soubrette Elvia

UTOPIA oUrDoNE
BY Western Silver Men Who Would
Accouch a New Political Party.

GARY, S. D., Nov. 2O.-FOr sew
eral months an understanding has
existed among leading silver men
of the United States, that an en-
phatic demand shall be made that
the Republican platform of 1898
shall contain an unequivOCal dec
laration in favor of the unqualified
free coinage of silver and that in
the event of the failure of the Re-
publicans to so declare, new party
movement shall forthwith be
sprung with two-plank platform
declaring simply for protection
ana free coinage. The management
of the movement is largely in the
hands of Senators Jones, Stewart
anG Pettigrew and they are look
ing to Senator Cameron as the
presidential candidate in the event
of the birth of this new party. The
results OF the recent election have
given the leaders renewed con-
fidence, as they now believe
they will be able to absorb
the remnants of the Populists and
secure through the protection
plank the adhesion Of the late
labor vote OF the east. Thus they
hope to centralize the entire free
silver strength and much OF the
labor vote of the country. They de-
clare that the party will be forced
to either adopt the silver plank or
be destroyed and this intention to
rule or ruin is the fundamental
tenet of the movement and it is
even said Senator Cameron has al
ready consented to head the revolt.

SHORT STOPS.

What the People are Saying.
The plain, every day American
voter is opposed to all kinds of
Tamany combinations, whether
located in New York or elsewhere.
A reputation for honest local
government, for efficient, econimi-
public service, for fair, legal cleo
tiOns, is the most valuable adver-
tisement for municipal commun-
ity.
A strong suspicion of fraud, of
manipulation, of unfair methods
in the management Of our recent
election, pervades among the peo-
pie, and it Is universally the ex-
pressed desire that a contest be in
stituted In order to clear this sus-
picion.
II officials, or those interested in
the result, have been guilty Of vio-
lation of the plain requirements Of
the law, it is a severe reflection up
on the community, if they are not
punished.
The right to vote is the sacred
privilege of the American citizen,
it is the one thing that should be
guarded with jealous care. 1t is
the unreserved acquiescence in the
decision Of the majority that con-
constitutes the strength and per-
manence of our institutions, but
this result must be attained by
honest methods, and by strict OBJ
servance Of the law.
The highest crime against COM
munity is fraud at the ballot box.
Every illegal vote cast is a crime
that involves not only the person
who casts 1t, but those who have
been accessory to the crime.
Men elected to office by manipu-
lation, trickery, fraud, have a con-
tempt for the people, become reck-
less in their official conduct, and
only work to continue themselves
in place by a repetition Of the
methods by which they have sue
| ceeded. They assume the roll OF
masters instead Of servants, until
at last the people rise en- masse and
sweep them out-as was the case In
New York.
A city election is approaching ;
our city council will play an i'm
portant part in the program.
Judges OF election will be appoint
ed, and boards Of election judges {;
will they adopt the suggestions Of
the "big 81"
The new county court house is
no longer of sufficient interest to
hold out a two years job. The
public roads will be worked, but
will not be enough to employ and
keep on hand an army OF voters
available two years hence. But
the city with its big sewer Job on
hand holds out a great temptation.
The city, with it's patronage, its
labor, will command big voting
contingent for the next two years.
Who will control this is the ques-
ton?
But, after all, it is the passive
Indifference OF the intelligent, in
dependent voters that is more to
be dreaded than the hord OF ignO-
rant purchasable voters, who only
became valuable whom the intelli-
gent, Independent voters are divid-
ed.
No matter how powerful any
Tammany combination may be-
come, how seemingly invincible,
or how completely such a combi-
nation may control every avenue
of the public service, yet the peo-
pie are the masters, and when
aroused will assert their power.
1t is said that "word to the wise
is sufficient" but some men are so
dull that you have to kick expert
ence into them.
