Some of our contemporaries; es-
pecially those which opposed Gov.
Fosters election, assert that the
nomination of Mr.. Ogden was an
anti-administration victory. This
assertion is not true. State poll
tics cut a very small figure in the
canvass, and partisans of the late
McEnery faction did what was done
on: this line. The Foster people
made >no fight of this character.
Mr.. Ogden was the only one Of the
four candidates that voted for Judge
NcEnery. Mr.. Ogden made the
canvass as the farmers candidate,

COXEYS ARM.

tOxSy and his COmmOnweal army
has reached Washington, and it will
be interesting to watch what action
may be adopted in order to obtain
their demands; for it is generally un-
derstood that some definite plan of
procedure has been adopted, though
as to whether the different armies
are agreed is somewhat doubtful.
To an outsider their long and
painful march to the capital seems
not only rash but the heishe of
folly. 1t is evident that the bulk
of the armies consists of unemployed
workmen and not tramps, as is often
supposed, and the banding together
of SO many of the laboring men will
greatly emphasize the abnormal
condition which permits such a
thing to be possible. But while it
may emphasize the fact, nevertheless
it can scarcely effect any good and
is more than certain to produce
harm. The assembling of so many
unemployed and penniless men will
not influence legislation to any ap-
probable extent, and can only make
the leaders criminally responsible
for whatever deeds of violence may
be committed, and men SO situated
are apt to be desperate when
they see their demands refused.
They will scarcely consider their
demands unreasonable; or even have
patience to wait congress- slow delay

 This report was read privately, and the detectives vert to work at once. The man Whitelaw was captured at the patent office, where he was in the very act of filing his application for the patent of the new dynamo ma- chine.
 At his lodgings in Dull street the papers and plans belonging to Mayne were found. Finding himself sur rounded by testimony which seemed to come from the grave he made full confession.
 It seemed that he had met his friend Mir. Mayne on the evening in question. After sundry drinks together Mayne became communicative and eventually asked the other to come to his house. Here he explained to him the details of his invention.
 Carried away as he was by the ex- citement produced by the liquor he told all to the man, whom he trusted implicitly. But Whitelaw, seeing the prospect of mighty fortune in the use of the patent, had stabbed the old man with his large pocketknife and left him on the floor bleeding to death, making his escape easily and without hindrance by the front door.-Boston Globe.

SIMULATED RIP VAN TWINKLE.

ciety and Reappcared After Ten Years.
 A faint suggestion of the story of Rip Van Wrinkle attaches to that told of Jim Hayes. one-time resident of village in western Maine, located near the boundary line between that state and New Hampshire.
 While digging out his we'll one morn- ing the walls caved in, burying him beneath the debris in such manner. however, that the stones, instead of crushing him, formed an arch over his prostrate body.
 The brilliant idea occurred to Jim, whose aversion to work, by the way, was a neighborhood proverb, that rather than subject himself to the labor of digging his way to the surface it would be shrewd dodge to remain quietly where he was and let the neighbors dig himself and incidentally his we'll out for him.
 What followed only goes to show that a man may reckon without his neighbors.
 The latter arriving upon the scene due deliberation and discussion of ways and means expressed their unan- imous opinion in the following un- sentimental but practical syllogism:
 That Jim was at once dead acd buried
 That a dead man ought to be buried
 Conclusion-that the best thing to be done was to do nothing -to-wit, leave the well and Jim in such condi- tion as found.
 The general consensus of opinion was that the late Jim had been lazy, good for nothing. shiftless dog, who had conferred greater benefit upon the village by thus quietly dropping out of its society without putting his neighbors to the trouble of burying him, than he had ever done while living.
 Remarks to this effect. and others even less complimentary, being borne vaguely to the ears of the entombed Jlm, apprising him of the worth i'm puted to him by his fellow townsmen, he then and there resolved to reform and mend his ways.
 Realizing that a return to his old as- sociates and associations would be . serious bar to these good resolutions, the now-reformed Jim set industrious ly 10 work to dig his way out; but in- stead of making his way straight up ward he pursued, for rod or two. lateral course, which eventually brought him out few feet the other side of the state boundary line into the state of New Hampshire.
 Here, it is averred. steady adhcr- ence to his subterranean resolutions made a new man of him, so that he be- came of sufficient importance and prominence to be made chairman of the selectmen and member of the school committee in little New Hamp. shire town.
 Upon returning to his native village after lapse of ten years he was greet ed with amazement by his old cronies, who had supposed him buried by an act of providence. Such, however, was the position he had acquired for himself in society that any feelings of incredulity which the story he told may have had aroused in their bosons were suffered to lie dormant and were given no outward expression.
 Finally. it may be said to those who have doubts concerning the truthful ness of the narrative that the founda- ton for it. lying, as it does, at the bot tom of well. should of itself serve to repel all such unfavorable suspicion.-- Chicago Times
