4 Parting Word.

On next Tuesday the voters of this
counsy viii make their choice of the
men they desire to serve them in official
capacity for the next two years. That
they viii choose wisely we have every
reason to believe; and that the gentle
men whose names are on the demo-
cratic ticket will be the most favored of
all we have no reason to doubt. Our
republican, and popuiist opponents can
not truthfuliy say that the democratic
candidates have at any time descended
10 the level of some wouid-be office
hunters and ssthrow dirt" or cast any
reflections upon the characters or
ability of any of their opponents. The
campaign, so far as the democratic can
didates are concerned, has been carried
on in gentlemanly manner, and so far
as the DEMOCRAT knows the opposing
candidates have been equally courteous
and gentlemanly.
While the Beacon, the populist pa
per, and the Register, the republican
paper, doth printed in the same Office
have stopped to the old-time methods
of casting out insinuating siurs and
comments to injure the democratic can
didates, we believe their attempts will
be futile and that the gentlemen who
compose the democratic ticket will be
endorsed at the polls in spite of all OPP
position.
The democratic committee has had
taken poll of most of the townships,
which shows that the democratic vote
this year will be from 800 to 400 better
than last year. 1t indicates that the
democrats are again united in solid
phalanx and with a determination to
march straight on to victory. The
talk of sstrading," of combinations"
and of ''fusion' INDUCED in by the op-
position press is but to mislead the
voters by stirring up distrust; pay no
attention to it, but do your duty as
democrats and as good American citi-
Gems, and victory is ours.
You know every one of the demo
cratic candidates. You know they
were not selected by a few leaders and
bosses who farm out the Offices from
year to year; most of the m-Lave served
you two years faithfully and well and
you know their ability. They command
the respect of all men. and will receive
the votes of men of all political beliefs.

VISITORS TO NIAGARA.

Basis for Estimating the Number
Who See the Falls in Year.
Speculation is often heard as TO
the number of visitors to Niagara
Falls. Some light is thrown on the
subject by the returns of the cleo
trio road running along the Cana
dian bank from Queenstown to Chip
pewa, through Victoria park. It
appears that the travel for the sea-
son up to November reached about
four hundred and sixty-seven thou
sand passengers. This road skirts
the river all the way within a few
feet of the edge of the bluff, and is
operated by the water power of the
great Horseshoe fall, the gener-
ators being driven by turbines
which receive water through canal
Just above the fall and discharge
under the veil of tumbling foam and
spray. The plant is of three thousand
horse power. It was the first large
utilization of the energy of Niagara,
and it is now proposed to parallel
the road with another on our own
| shore, which shall have the peculiar
attractiveness of running out on
brackets at the foot of the cliff, and
will thus put the tourist right over
the boiling waves of the Whirlpool
rapids If one hundred thousand
horse power is taken from Niagara
for all classes of work, it is estimated
that the withdrawal of the water
from it's natural channel will make a
difference of but one or two inches
in the thick green sheet falling over
the Horseshoe.-St Louis Globe

STRIKE IN THE KITCHEN.

The Lady of the House Takes a
Lesson in Labor Troubles.
An odd thing happened the other
day in a Brookline family, a some
thing which the lady of tho house
isn't particularly anxious 10 talk
about, especially when her husband
is around. Not long ago the help In
his factory went on a strike, and
though they did not remain out
long. the affair being mainly
sympathetic" yet it bothered him
quite bit, to the dislike of his wife
She demonstrated frequently over
his Stiffness in allowing such a small
thing to bother him, and guyed
him still more when the affair
ended amicably. A few mornings
later the lady went into her
morning-room and rang the bell
to give the cook her days orders,
when, to her establishment, the ring
was answered by all the help in the
establishment, including the scrub
girl and the boy who walked errands.
The cook was spokes woman.
II yOO plOdoCs ouC OCSoh III iuly
but respectfully, we've come to say
that we're on a strike. We don't
like what you did in taking away
Charlotte's Saturday night out and
giving her Mary's Friday. BY
Mary's having Charlotte's Saturday
she gets chance to meet Mrs.
Smithe's Henry, and as Mary's her
rival, we don't think it's giving
either of 'em fair chance"
The mistress looked at the COM
pany, and saw that Charlotte and
Mary were the only two absent; she
reflected that she had by no means
been aware of what affairs of state
she was upsetting In changing the
evenings out" without any par
ticular reason, and she decided that
it was better to arbitrate than delay
lunch, and possibly dinner, so she
gracefully acceded to the demands
of the assemblage, and restored
Charlotte her Saturdays.
Still, when anyone says strike to
her now she shivers. For-''What-i

THE supreme court has just rendered
a very important decision affecting the
rights of fishermen along the Missis-
sippi river. The question raised was
whether the state had jurisdiction of
the lakes and sloughs along the low a
shore of the river A local fisherman,
Gilbert Gaug, was arrested on COM
plant of the Lansing rod and gun club
for seining on Big lake. The district
court discharged him, holding that be-
cause the sloughs are fed by the Mis-
sisslppi river they are a part of the
river and exempt from the operation of
the statute. The supreme court now
reserves that decision and thereby holds
that fishing can only be legally pro-
tected hereafter with hook and line ex-
cept in the main channel of the bound.

rights have always been a mooted
