The New Election Law.


| would like to call the attention OF
the voters of the Third ward to the
Walton Australian election law. Each
voter is allowed >! minutes to prepare
his ballot. We have 1869 voters in the
Third ward. We will have on the 9th
day of November COS minutes in which
to cast the vote OF the ward. If we
should take but one minute to prepare
and have recorded each ballot we
would not be able to get in but COS
votes. | suppose the other llGl voters
will be left. The party who gets its
line formed will elect who it pleases.
think Eppa Hunton and Others who
opposed the bill deserve thanks. Is
Walton a republican or populist? 3.

ANOTHER FIEND.-Last Friday week

ANOTHER FIEND.-Last Friday week
a gentleman living in Orange county
swore out a warrant for the arrest of g
mullatto named Boo Ellis, who a few
days ago attempted to assault mis-
daughter in the woods near her home.
The young lady had been to Pine Top,
and was returning home in a jumper
alone, when she vas met in the road
bv Ellis, who lives a short distance from
her fathers. He seized her horse and
dragged her from the cart, when she
tainted, after uttering n scream, aud
regained consciousness as the rascal
was going off. Ellis treatened to kill
her and burn her fathers house. He
is now in Jail at Orange, Judge Morton
having refused bail. There is talk of
%lynching, and great indignation pre-
walls.

THOUGH THE market value of silver
continues to decline, Congress is still
consuming time in efforts to coin more
OF it, and to increase the circulation
thereof among a people who object to,
and resort to all sorts of e~xpedients to
get rid Of, it. But, Judging from aver
age congressional legislation, it is
doubtful if the consumed time referred
to would be better spent in the consid-
Grafton of any other matter.

Board Of Agriculture was of any benefit
T. the fArmers. no one had ever found it
out. The board already received $lo,-

Mr.. Harrison is a wise man, and what
he said Of the uselessness of the State

sized in respect Of the national Agri-
cultural Department. OF what practi-
cal good te the farmers of the country
that department is. or ever has been,

Increases the expenses of the govern

CERTAIN so-CALLEp democratic news
papers in the North, that favor a forty
per cent protection on the products OF
that section, ha5 none at all o. the Vir-
ginia coal, by the consumption OF winch
those products are made, are SO mucn
disguised with the L. 5. Senate Tor
amending the Wilson tariff bill in the
direction of q revenue measure, as de-
clared for by the national democratic
convention, that they demand the abo-
lition of the Senate, and say its exist
ence is an anachronism in free govern
ment. Nothing would afford the enc
mics of free government, abroad as well
as al home, and the latter are vastly
more numerous than many people be-
li-ve, more real delight than compli-
ance with the demand referred to.
The Senate has preserved the country
from many ills, and its existence Is
more necessary now than ever before.

Several Vessels Wrecked.
LONDON, Feb. 12.-The channel and the
British coast have again been swept by a
heavy storm which has done much damage
to shipping. A hurricane In the channel
yesterday evening detained the mail and
Dieppe steamer, which was due TO arrive
at New Haven at 5 o'clock this morning,
has not yet been sighted. Numerous minor
casualties are reported and the telegraph
poles in many directions nave been blown
down, thus preventing the receipt of ac-
curate Information regarding shipping dis
asters. The steamer Resolven, from Glib
raltar, has been wrecked On the Barber
seventy-ive passengers, who were with dif-
ficulty rescued by the ltfeboats. 1t is re-
ported that there have been several other
wrecks on various parts of the coast.
Reports arriving here hourly from the
West and North tell of great damage done
to houses, churches and factories during
the gale. 1t is that at least a
dozen people have been killed. From Deal
comes the Announcement of the gallant res
cue OF the crew of tho German schooner
Mathies, which was wrecked on Goodwin
islands. As the vessel was observed to be
in distress the fisherman of Deal manned a
lifeboat at great risk and put out to the
rescue OF the crew on the schooner.
Rumors from Amsterdam, which have not

THE CLEVELAND MYTH.
At the First Real Test the Supposed
Great Man Proves IA Failure.
philadalnhia BRASS

The Cleveland myth has practically dis
appeared. TIL popular illusion respecting
the President has vanished. For a long
time it completely enveloped one party and
largely overshadowed the other. Now its
mystic spell rests upon long surrounded
and created a fictitious Cleveland have been
dissipated and in the place of this imagina-
tive being the real Cleveland stands forth
plain and unadorned to the popular eye.
Cleveland myth dominated general thought.
1t is true he was beaten when he sought
rs.elestiOp in IL, lSSS' but but the defeat did mot
gathered force that he was exceptional, he
roic and statuesque. He vas almost wor,
better than his party. His W partisans
regarded him as cast In a special mold: and
a ACCEPTED Ia e dPrP Ri% as Of Giff hlr R9iiffi Tom 0S oRPGinary
human clay. This idea imposed especially
upon college professors and upon men who
land myth developed into a sort of fetch,
and there was a widespread notion that a
kind Of mystic charm associated itself with
him.
But all this is now changed. There are
not merely a hundred public evidences of
the revolution of ~feeling-there are still
more convincing signs within the range of
private observation. Every mar is con-
Scious in his contact with his fellows OF
the complete revulsion of sentiment In
his own circle he sees and feels an entire
ly different opinion respecting Mr.. Cleve-
land. Instead of being regarded as .su-
perio-, infallible and unerring, ne mas come
TO be considered as narrow, uninformed,
opinionated and incapable He errs con-
stantly in the choice of men and in the
' direction of policies. 1t is seen that he
made a colossal misjudgment both in his
| Secretary of State and in his Secretary of
the Treasury and that he has neither the
| penetration nor the breadth to set them
right. In whatever it touches, whether 1t
be foreign. or domestic affairs, his admin
istration is unfortunate, and it marks the
lowest ebb of national honor and success.
The secret of this complete revulsion or
public feeling is the fact that Mr.. Cleve-
land has now had his first real test ans has
utterly failed under IL. When he was Presi-
| dent before he could do little because the
Senate was politically adverse. Now for
the first time he has had free scope, ana
the country has hid the opportunity TO see
how he misjudges and blunders in the pres
ence of real emergencies. There has been
nothing in our politics more striking than
the complete collapse of the Cleveland
myth. IL would have been i~nmeasurably
better for his enduring fame If he had
been defeated i'm 1892. His second term de-
stroys all the Illusions of the first.

WORTH $500 A TON.
Value of the Gold and silver Ore
Found Near Brazil.

Special to the Indianapolis Journal.
BRAZIL. Ind, Feb. 12.-Much interest is
manifested over the gold and silver mines
found on NJ. W.. Carpenters farm, south
east of the city. Two experts of Chicago
have been examining the ore the past few
days and pronounce it valuable. n portion
of the ore was assayed by experts IN Chi
cago, and it is claimed that the ore con-
tanned $500 of gold and silve: to tae ton.
From what can be learned from the ex-
Derts ths find is d very rich one that will
produce thousands for the owner. Mr.. Car
penter mas frequently been sought by West
ern capitalists to sell or lease the mines,
out has as yet refused ell offers. In speak
Ing of the mines, Mr.. Carpenter said:
Il discovered the precious metal by mere
accident while working on my farm some
time ago and nave been clandestinely try
ing to mine il since. Since the assayers
nave put 50 much value on the metal and
experts pronounced it very rich l snail pro-
coed at once to form a mpa and mine
the ore"
He claims that the necessary machinery
will be On the ground and in working order
early in the spring. Ore similar 20 that on
Mr.. Carpenters farm was discovered sew
eral years ago on the Ritseii foi IN adjacent
to the Carpenter land, and Mir. Ritseil will

soil in hopes of discovering some of the
precious metal.

HERBERT SPENCER ON ANARCHIsM.
The Student of Sociology Sets Forth
His Views on Il LOOney Topic.

His Views on Il LOOney Topic.
New York Evening Post.
Herbert Spencer has written the following
letter to the Paris Figaro, which we trans
ia'e ir0" '"e Jan. "a. 1894"
.Dear Sir--I am much obliged to YOU for
70 Anarchist ideas. The manner in which
Won present my principles as absolutely OPP
posed to these theories Is PerIecuy correct;
published last year in May, and which will
shortly appear in French, you Will find at
PAGE 272 OF the English edition the follow
inc naragraph, which you Will perhaps think
worthy of citation:
An equally disastrous, or still more
disastrous, effect remains TO be named. The
poIicy. If persistently pursued, leads on TO
Communism and anarchism. If society in
it's corporate capacity undertakes bene-
rection and now in that. the inferior learn
by precept, enforced by example, that IL
is a state OF duty not simply TO secure
them the unhindere1 pursuit OF happiness,
but TO furnish them with the means TO
happiness; there is eventually formed
least deserving, a fixed belief that IL they
are not comfortable the government is 10
blame. Not 10 their own idleness and mis-
deeds is their misery ascribed, but to the
badness of society in not doing its duty to
them. What follows? First. there grows
nm among numbers the theory that social
aarPrsngements must be fundamentaiiy
changed in such ways that all shall have
equal shares OF the products Of labor-that
differences y ItMdiA "a L uiltcTenCeS OF
merit, shall be abolished; there comes COM
munism. And then among the very worst,
angered that their vile lives have not
brought them all the good things they
want, there grows up the doctrine that
society should be destroyed, and that each
man should seize what he likes and sup
press as Ravachol said. every one who
stands in his way; there comes anarchism
and a return to the unrestrained struggle
for life, as among brutes."
witt many thanks for your defense OF
my ideas, sincerely yours,
HERBERT SPENCER"
