Indtnnn,s PecuIiar Statue.

In the State of Indiana they
have peculiar statute directed
against persons who endeavor to
prevent others from voting by hir-
ing them to remain away from the
polls. Under this law the person
thus induced to stay away from the
voting place has right of action
to recover penalty of $500 against
that man who has hired him to re-
frain from going thither. In the
Presidential election of 1892 q vo-
ter in the city of Vincennes went
to polling place there for the pur-
pose of casting his ballot, when he
met one Charles Thompson, who
paid him So to leave without vo-
ting. The voter left at the time,
but later in the day he appears to
have voted. Nevertheless, i'll suit
to recover the penalty of $500 the
Appellate Court of Indiana, by n
decision rendered onlya few weeks
ago, held that he was entltled 10
maintain tho action. The offense
denounced by the statute is declar-
ed to be complete under such cir
cumstances, even though the voter
subsequently goes back to the poll
ing place and actually deposits his
ballot. This construction of the
law was inevitable, unless the
Court was prepared to hold that
one who actually yielded to the
briber so far as to stay away from
the polls altogether has to be placed
in in better position than one
who repented of his nefarious bar
gain, and concluded to vote after

No boy, no girl, can ever come
to be utterly bad who remembers
only love and sweetness and ten
derness and unselfshness as asso-
ciated with father and mother in
the old-timc home. Give them
manly and womanly example, give
them training, give them the in
spiration of devoted lives, give
them these higher deeper things.
Do not care so much rs to whether
you are accumulating money so
that you can leave them fortune.
We really believe that the chances
are against that being blessing
for boy. But leave them an ac-
cumulated fortune of memories
and inspirations and examples and
hopes, so that they arc rich in brain
and heart and soul and service.
Then if you happen to leave them
a fortune besides, if they have all
these, the fortune will be shorn cf
all it's possibilities of evil and will
become an instrument of higher
and nobler good.

N1'KINLEY PROSPERITY

the NIOnongalIcla Quite
FOrcibly-a Two Months
Winter Rest.

PITTsBURG, Pa, November 16.-
AT meeting to-day of the river
and coal operators, preliminary
steps were taken which will likely
result in the closing down of al
most all the river mines and throw
5000 miners out of employment
from December 1st to February 1st
next. The argument of the opera
tors for this suspension is that the
market is overstocked, there being
100000 bushels or more in this
harbor, busides large quantity
in southern harbors.

SOLICITUDE
Felt Over Affairs in Cuba-ThcrC
is Friction and May be
Trouble.


There is moro solicitude over
Cuban affairs among high Govern
ment officials than they are willing
to admit. Fitzhugh Lees report
to President Cleveland is guarded
closely, but an impression prevails
that enough has been told to render
it probable that this administra-
ton may get into serious trouble
with Spain before its termina-
tion. 1t is known that General
Lee has informed his superiors in
office that Spaniards in Cuba have
an intense hatred for Americans
and American interests, and they
do not hesitate to say SO most in
sultingly in public places in
Havana.
While General Lee is believed,
from an impartial andl military
standpoint, to lean toward the
Spanish troops in the island, it is
said he has laid before this gov
ernment also facts to show that
American interests in Cuba will
be ruined completely unless Cleve-
land takes decisive action.
