The A. P. A. is an order of vio-

and will sooner or later go to pieces
and the men who were in it will
spend the rest of their lives trying
to deny their connections with such
an order. # there are any good
men who have got into this order
they ought to get out of it at once.
The developments in Omaha have
proved the last straw. There can
henceforth be neither influence nor
respect for such an organization.
The pendulum is swinging back.
Religion must be kept out of poll

because they believe in one We: sion

1t is rich; it lis really refreshing
to hear some men who have been
repeatedly elected to office, and are
now holding office, abusing ballot
box suffers as the most unmiti
gated lot Of villains outside the
walls of the penitentiary. Some of
these men who have been the sole
benefciaries Of these very wicked
and corrupt men, are posing as
purists and are loudly clamoring
for baliot-reform-a pure ballot
and fair count. Notwithstanding
this pretended change of heart we
have not yet heard of one of these
receivers of stolen goods tending
his resignation and returning his i'll
gotten gains to the State and people
from where they were, according to
his logic, wrongfully taken. Many
of these same fellows are again can
didates for Office and would be glad
to get in by any means-fair or
foul.
Inyratitude is the basest .offcnse
Of which anyone can be guilty, and

denounces his benefactor or curses

The Chicago Inter-Ocean con-
tinues to illuminate its CORY rant
about lawlessness in the South, and
its columns are daily filled with
pious admonitions to the people Of
the South ABOUT their wickedness,
while in the city Of Chicago right
under the very nose Of the Inter
Ocean, comes the shocking account
Of brutal murder by his keepers
of lunatic confined in the asylum
for the insane. We admit that oc.
casionally some Of our people do
violate the laws of God and man,
but thank God the people Of the
South have never yet become SO de-
PRAYED as to wantonly murder help
less lunatics confided to their care
for trea tment, nor do they decoy
innocent girls to ruin in order that
they might murder them and collect
the insurance on their lives, both of
which shocking atrocities have
transpire1 very recently in Chicago.

situations that it could be rid of to
advantage, but to its credit be it

Ring Ol the Ballot.

1t is becoming mole and more
evident that the Baker ballot system
as at present in use. is not well
adapted to municipal elections, by
reason of the rule permitting the
voting OF Il whole column by simply
marking cross in the ring at the
top, presupposed that straight party
tickets will be nominated and voted.
This, it is very apparent to all, is
not the case and the result is that
much confusion arises. Then the
fact that party candidates are also
permitted 10 file nomination papers
and thus have their names placed in
two columns on the official ballot
further confuses many people.
For these reasons, and for the
additional reason that where a man S
name is marked twice-once in the
ring at the top and again in the
square to the right of the name-the
vote for that particular Office is de-
cided to be illegal, the most careful
voters pay no attention to the ring
at the top of the column, but feel
much safer in marking cross oppo
site every name.
1t would be an Improvement, in
the opinion of many, if the ring
were done away with.-Ec.
Yes, if the ring was done away
with the candidate nor politician
could not determine by the time
consumed in the booth by the voter
whether or not lie went her straight
or made a cut OF two. BY all means
the ring at the head of the column
should be thing Of the past.

The Ithaca Fur Company has es-
tablished a skunk farm near Brook
ton. The company now has over
100 of the animals but by another
season it expects by purchasing and
careful breeding, to increase the
number to 5000. The "skunkery"
consists of five acres Of ground fenc.
ed in by high boards over stone
filed trench. The animals food
consists mostly of milk, water and
bits of meat, while their beds are
made of chestnut leaves and dried
grass in large building. They are
seldom seen during the day, but
come out at nightfall and gambol
about the yard. Beginning with the
kittens" they can be easily tanned,
When killing time comes, they are
placed in "a tight box and chloro.
formed, thus rendering their fur
free from odor. Besides the fur a
fat animal will yield nearly pint OF
oil that is said to be an unequaled
remedy for stiff Joints, etc.

NARROW ESCAPE.
ThOs. Doyle Blew Out the Gas Last
Night.


Thomas Doyle, an aged white man, and
a veteran of the late war, had a narrow
escape from death this morning by as
phyxiation at Geigers Hotel, 1O4 C street
northwest. Doyle arrived in the city yes
terday from Hampton. Va, and expected
to receive a considerable sum of money
from the pension Office today in the shape
of back pension. He retired last night
about 1890, after having freely mbibed at
the font of intoxication, and when discov-
cred this morning by one of the dodgers
was nearly dead. He was evidently intox-
tcated when ne retired, for he had thrown
Oft his coat and sought sweet Slumber upon
the floor, after having blown out the gas.
The gas fixtures in the room were new
and the stopcock had a check upon it.
Matte Duvall, the colored domestic, was
the first to notice the smell of gas, and
traced 1t to the room occupied by Doyle,
She called Mr.. NJ. j. Pickett, one of the
dodgers in the house. and the two opened
the door and found Doyle stretched out
upon the floor in an unconscious condition.
Restoratives were applied and messen-
ger sent for DR.. j. r. hewitt. The latter
arrived after Doyle had been placed in the
ambulance, and administered stimulants
and reStorative5 on the way to the Emer-
gency Hospital. Doyle had a narrow es-
cape, and the doctors believe he will re-
cover. He is about seventy years of age.

meet the cut in rates recently made by

Seaboard as not being germane 10 the pc

in question might be submitted at the

FAREWELL TO MIR. CLEVELAND.
Bra lillian Commissioner Exchange
Compliments With the President.

Baron Rio Branco and Gen. Cerqueira,
the special Brazilian plenipotentiaries. who
presented the case of that country in the
arbitration of the missions boundary con-
tention with the Argentine Republic, pre-
sented their letters of recall to President
Cleveland today and said farewell. The
plenipotentaries were accompanied by the
attaches of the mission. and were present
ed by Acting Secretary of State Uhl in the
blue room Of the White House. The
speeches exchanged were rather out of the
usual order, in view of the special char
acter of the mission, and the remarks of
the President in response to Baron Rio
Branco, who acted as spokesman for the
BraZilians, were significant where they
touched upon arbitration. having in mind
the efforts now being made to induce Great
Britain to submit her boundary dispute
with Venezuela to this method of settle
ment. The Brazilians were resplendent in
gold lace and embroideries, and medals and
red ribbons, in marked contrast with the
plain black attire of the President and Sec
retary Uhl.
