SATURDAY EVENING. SEPT 7, 1895
AND NOW we have the news of con-
vant;on held nv the bolters from the

vention held by the boilers from the
regular organization of the democracy
in Nebraska. Many OF this convention
were appointees of the administration,
postmasters, land officers, and pets of
Mr.. Morton, Secretary of Agriculture,
holding proxies and travelling, some on
passes, others on public money, for the
reasonable and disgraceful purpose of
disrupting the democratic party in that
State. We are told that they repre-
scented less than 5 per cent. of the total
vote of the State. This would make
Them in ali about one-eighth to tenth
of the democratic voters of Nebraska,
who some time ago held their regular
convention, adopted resolves and put
up ticket. The game of these boilers
now is to beat the party and thus elect
republican ticket. They have no
hope of electing the ticket they have
Just nominated. We are assured that
they were unanimous and enthusiastic.
Next yesr these boilers will have 5per
cent. delegation at the democratic ma
ii ,nal convention and if that body be
not corrupt and purchased the delega-
ton will be kicked out unceremonious-
ly. The Albany IN. W argus in
plain speech calls attention to the fac
tious course of the federal Office holders
in that State. Last year this gang afilia-
ted with the republicans. They helped
the republicans to roll up large ma
jority against Senator Hill and to cheat
the organized democracy of New York
out of their ri. htful control fthe great
cities of Now York, Brooklyn and other
democratic strongholds. They have
thus inflicted on the great State of New
York republican legislature which
has foully gerrymandered the State and
passed civil rights bill giving the
negroes equal rights with the whites in
all hotels, theatres and conveyances.
The gentleman who takes his wife or
daughter to New York hotel is thus
liable to have negro sitting along side
ofthem and his only remedy is to get up,
walk out and leave the field to the
negroes, the republicans and the mug
wump Office holders element of the
democracy. The class of alleged demo
cratic Office holding in New York are
now, according to the Albany Argus,
refusing to act with the democratic or
ganization and are thus helping to
maintain the republicans in the control
of New York State. Yet they owe
their fat Offices to the generous
and harmonious action of the demo-
cracy in supporting the national ticket
in 1892. But for that and the favor OF
the President they would be obliged TO
stir themselves to earn an honest living,
and they would not have the leisure or
the funds to break down the great party
whose trust they have abused and most
foully requited. There has rarely been
a time when the insolence of Office has
been greater than now. The people
are tired of it, and they will End a
remedy. The man whose mouth is full
of pap is not the man to lead desper
ate charge in grand political battle. l.
he gives advice and assumes to lead his
motives are @ just object of suspicion.

KILLED HIS SISTER INLAw.-At
CORVALLIS, Richie county, w. Va,
yesterday evening, Camden Cross, q
young married man, murdered his sis
ter-in-Iaw, Mrs. Jerry Taylor. Cross
went home drunk. and began abusing
his wife. To escape him she took
refuge at the home of her sister, Mrs.
Tay lor. Yesterday evening Cross
went to Mrs. Taylor's home after his
wife, taking revolver with him. He
was drunk, and, drawing his pistol,
pointed it at his wife, who held her year
old baby in her arms. Mrs. Taylor,
thinking to shield her sister and the
baby, stepped In front of them. Cross
told her to atand aside, but she refused.
He warned her again that he would
shoot, and, taking deliberate aim, shot
her through the heart. His wife and
the others in the house then ran, Cross
emptying his revolver after them, but
failing to do any further damage. He
was locked up yesterday evening.

With reputation and notification If
laws making appropriations it is easy
TO make an apparent balance and in
erase of the public revenue. 1t may
also be easily seen that the refusal or
delay to pay sums distinctly appropri-
ated by Congress makes the oppor-
tunity and fortunes of that class ofmen
in public service whose influence at
headquarters is usually effective but not
exerted, except on potent considera-
tons.
TIE candidates for Governorin Ken
lucky are Ben Hardin, democrat, and
Bradley, republican. They are con-
sidered to be pretty evenly matched in
point of ability, but the republicans
thought that Bradley would get away
with Hardin. They are probably un-
deceived by this time. AT their very
first meeting Bradley, thinking to
score point, asked Hardin if g vacan-
CIV should occur in the q. S. Senate
would he appoint free coinage man
to ell it. Hardin promptly replied that
he would, and then availed himself OF
his right to ask Mr.. Bradley some
questions. he demanded of him if, in
case of a republican legislature, that
body should pass civil rights bill, Civ
ing the negroes the right to sit along
side of whites in the railroad cars and
in theatres, to go to hotels and be en-
tertained like whites, would he sign
this bill or veto it. To these questions
Bradley did not dare to venture re-
ply; for after counting all the white re-
publicans and cuckoo democrats now
supporting him, his main reliance is on
the negroes, who comprise a decid
ed majority ofhis followers. Weare told
that he sat perfectly silent. The con-
sequence of such refusal to speak out
is naturally the arousing OF every de-
cent man in the State who is without
negro ancestry. These questions are
pertinent and practical. They should
be put to Lowndes in Maryland and to
his cuckoo supporters, and to all the
republican candidates this year in the
South.

NEW YORK. Sept. Speculation at the

slightest influence on the general list which
improved anywhere from n to ~ per cent.
Speculation at IL o'clock was quiet and pro-

Twenty-Five centuries before the
christian era the Chinese cultivated
the pearl mussel, and III this day
they are ahead of other nations in
this respect. Carefully opening the
valves % the fresh water mussel, the
operator inserts small pieces of wood,
sometimes carved into fantastic
images, which in tire course OF year
or two ara coated with deposit of
pearl. The largest known pearl in
the world = enc III the kensington

ounces, and being four and a half
inches iii circumference; the most
perfect one is in the Moscow Rus

and the Persian Gulf, though the
Australian coasts are developing
