however, was a total wreck, though
the boys escaped unhurt.

Ed. Register-The Republics editor
ial letter to President Cleveland of the
18th inst. is full of logic, sound sense
and it is right to the point. 1t certain
ly voices the sentiments of every Dem
ocratic voter of the United States, as
we'll as of our own grand common
wealth, of which has as solid dele
CATION, and as presentable Second to
money as walk the streets of the capt.
tai. Notwithstanding all this, the
President has turned deaf ear to our
Representatives, who are through
their natural course of duty, recon-
mending those to office who have
borne with manhood and distinction
their parts. and, in accordance with
tho wishes of Mr.. Cleveland. when he
accepted the nomination and which
was so overwhelmingly demonstrated
at the November election of '92. These
imploring to very great extent have
been fruitless, save perhaps, in one in
stance, and that in the case of the Hon.
Seth Cobb, who seems to get all he
can .'tote" in the way Of party honors.

Congress his message on Hawaiian

that they have got all they were accus-
ing the President of Withholding, it is
presumed they will raise the .'diyil'' in
trying to show the country that ex-
Minister Stevens treachery and usur-
patton of the black Republic (as clear
ly shown) is just what the Republican

day last weak lady started down the
track from Sabula, when, 10 and be-

way, so she turned over to the county
road, crossed the creek twice and came
back on the track south of the awful
sniDes, whoswere on the point of going
out to hire a mule to kick them to
death, when, most wonderful, a dark
figure was observed to come from the
woods and then retreat again into the
shades of the forest, like a wolf follow
ing it's prey. A little farther down it
came out again, caught the lady, car
ried her off into the great forest and
the snipes saw her no more. Moral ::
Don't be afraid of snipes, but look out
for wolves.

War on the World.

In your last paper l noticed an arti

of Ironton's ministers of the gospel.
trust he has indicated his own good
name and turned the tide of war from
Christ over against the weaker, though
formidable side. e., the world, or
in other words, the flesh and the devil.
Our adversary, in the person of a
man, was walking about the streets of
Ironton recently seeking whom he
might devOur. when accidentally CT
he fell upon a minister and began tell
ing him what he had heard. (He
surely took seat before he went
through the entire category, or else
continued it in his next.) Twas the
same old story of, "they tell me-" only
more astounding to the ears of the min
lister, as the man proceeded with the
latter clause of the sentence. And
what had they told him? That the
Christian Endeavorers had gotten up
ball! l am indeed sorry that the
man was not at our Party or Sociul,
just as you please to call it, to see with
his own eyes and Judge for himself as
to the character of the affair. Perhaps
he would have gotten the ''tacky'
prize, or, better still, we might have
enjoyed getting the Pig in the Par
lor"
But to be serious, the Christians En-
deavorers did not give a ball, as the
most of our people know. Because
some of the Ironton people indulge in
a chop" every other night in the week,
please don't accuse the better half of
her society unjustly, simply from the
fact that they held forth in the Town
Hall and played 1.-The Pig in the Par
lor" because of it's ..tackiness."
For the benefit of those who wish to
know more, let me simply inform them
that the Christian Endeavorers. to-

occasion, among which was tho child

one which has caused the report now
afloat. The man, before mentioned, if
YOU please, couldn't possibly believe
the rumor abroad that 1rOnton is one
of the hardest towns in Southeast Mis-
souri,, until .'they" told him all about
our little party Saturday evening.
Then he forced his charitable views
to the wall. and distruthfully and hope
lessly said, ..but it does look that way
at present." "They" haven't told you
of the real vices of Ironton; of the low
standard of morals which exist among,
