An American at Costa Rica fell in love
with one of the native girls with whom
an official was also in love. The official
had the American lover arrested and put
in Jail. and now the American having
gotten out of Jail, asks for an indemnity
of $4,000, for being deprived either of his
liberty or his sweetheart. or both. valu-
ing his liberty at $4,000 and the loss of
his sweetheart ut another $4,000. 1t is
a shrewd way of making money out of the
tender affections hut the poor fellow
should have it out with that official.

Some humane inventor has departed

him permanently injury. Kind hearted

The New York Republicans have won
II great vctory--for Mr.. Boss Platt. The
New York World says that Mr.. Platt
will direct the course of legislation ut
Albany this winter, that he will name
the delegates TO the Republican National
convention, that he will nominate the
next governor and perhaps take the
next scnatorship himself if he shall
again fail to obtain a cabinet position.
The Republican party of New York may
be willing to rule New York by proxy,
but does not the transfer of such great
power to one man violate sense of
duty that any dominant party owes the
people?

FOR SOIND MONEY

The Richmond Dispatch says: The
six New England States in the next Dem
ocratic National convention may be
counted as solid for sound money. So as
to the great commercial State of New
York and the great manufacturing State
of PENNSYLVANIA. So as TO New Jersey.
Delaware and Maryland. So as to Ohio.
Illinois and other Northwestern States.
We name several Republican States be.
cause the Republican States will be as
fully represented in the Democratic Ma
tional convention as the Democratic
States. Moreover. it will require Il two
thirds majority in the Democratic Ma
uonai convention 10 adopt a silver plank
Then when we recollect that the Renuhli
cans will have an immense majority in
the next house of representatives. and
that President Cleveland is opposed to
free coinage. we can not but see that the
free-Silverr proposition has no longer vital
ity enough Ia enable it to weather n Ma
tional financial storm"

STIRRING Up TROUBLE.

The New York Herald says: "ThC
Emperor of Austria, stirred up, no doubt,
by his young cousin of Germany, has
been trying his hand ut the imperial bust
ness, but not with gratifying success.
The municipal council of Vienna elect
ed Il Burgomaster whom the emperor did
not like. So he simply cancelled the cleo
ton. And now the municipal council has
met and again elected the same man. by
Il two-thirdS vote.
The only thing left for the government
to do was to dissolve the council. This
produced something very like riot in
Vienna, and the military had TO clear the
streets 1t will be interesting to see what
comes next"

ago secured a $4,000 judgment against
Arbuckle. the millionaire coffee dealer,
in n breach of promise suit, is dying at
DIR. G. G. Gray's sanitarium, three miles

Friday night Miss Campbell was sub
jected to a delicate operation for tumor,
DR.. Gray and DR.. Taylor of Cincinnati
being the attending physicians, and it is
from the shock attendant upon this that
she is sinking.
The Campbell-Arbuckle suit, in which
Miss Campbell was plaintiff, was one
which created National Juror, and the
applications of Bunny" and BABY
Bunting" by which the principals were
known. were for months household
words

FOR A THIRD TERM.

The New York Herald advocating IL
third term says: The Herald was
against the third term priciple when it
was proposed to nominate General Grant
for third time, and we strongly opposed
the idea in Il series of most effective art
liant writer But General Grant was Il
soldier, and CaeSarism is always feared
from Il strong minded military genius.
Mr.. Cleveland is Il civilian, and hence the
case is now entirely different There is
no occasion for any anti-third term senti-
ment and no Caesarism to fear if he
should be again nominated and elected.
Democrats can not put up stronger man.
and they will make a serious mistake if
they nominate a dark horse. We think
the strongest and best man is Mr.. Cleve-
land. who has made good president. and
to whom the Democratic party ought to
be grateful and owe a great deal"

Column after column have been dedicat-
ed to every movement of this couple.
Their privacy has been so intruded upon
by the reporters that the duke has not
found opportunity for those tender ca
resses in which the most ordinary bride
groom is permitted to indulge undis-
turbed by the snap of kodacs and Illus
trations in these dailies. The papers,
however, can not be blamed for such
snobbish exhibitions. Their city patrons
demand just such matter.

Annals MONEY VANISHING.

The Kansas City Star remarks that
"a story comes from Paris that Count
Castellane has been losing heavily on
the bourse. The Goulds ought to have
adopted the plan of the Nanderbilts and
tied Annals money up. That was hardly
necessary in the case of the Duke of
Marlborough. who has reputation for
being near but in dealing with titled
foreigners it is always we'll to be on the
safe side. In the meantime, if Jay Gould
knows what is going on in this world it
will not be necessary to make him any
warmer than he will be to see Il degener-
ate Partisan swell letting his daughters
patrimony slip through his fingers"

The Baltimore Sun says the belief
that everything that exists has been ere

They are carrying out the Sunday law
in New York with vengeance. 4 po-
liceman purchased bunch of violctS on
Sunday and then arrested the vendor.
That kind of an execution of the SUNDAY
law will soon disgust even the Sunday ex-
tremists with Sunday laws. The officer
that would lay such trap for victim
ought TO suffer more severe penalty
than the violator Of the law.

The sultan's promise 10 the embaSSa-
doris 10 furnish Information TO them
without delay" is an old chestnut with
which patient public was long ago tired
and Disguised. The fact is the sultan
wants time, but time will now do him
very little good. The best plan for him
is to admit that he is very sick man
and ask for medicine from the powers
that hold his destiny in their hands.

,WOEEUIIY RELATED

EXSpeaker Crisp is one of the belated
Democratic advocates of free silver coin
age. He is, so to speak, an anachro-
nism. But it should be recognized that
when he was speaker of the house of
representatives, and under a great
weight of responsibility, he effectually
used his official power to prevent the
Democratic members of that body from
committing their party to Il free silver
bill. Let us be duly grateful for that
Mt any rnte!
