The Democratic victories and mark
ed Democratic gains that have been
noted in the local elections throughout
the country are but the natural re-
suit of the gross neglect, the equally
gross incompetence and the utter inca
pacity to manage public affairs in a
businesshke manner which the Repub-
lican party has exhibited, no, only in
Congress. but in every State where they
gained ascendency in the late tidal
wave elections. Yet there are Repub-
lican organs and orators who persist in
declaring that all the intelligence as
well as all the morality of the country
is centred in the Republican party.

An Anarchist skips.

Chicago, Aug. I9.-Oscar Neebe, the
anarchist who was parGoned for his com
plicity in the Haymarket riots by Gov
ernor Altgeld, has left his wife and
eloped with another woman.
Neebe was widower at the time of
his conviction, and shortly after his re-
lease from the penitentiary married his
present wife, who is well to DO.
Mrs. Neebe said tonight that her hus-
band had left her and she did not care if
he never returned "lf he does" she
said, che will meet some unpleasant
ness"
The woman with Neebe is said to be
Mrs Theresa Mueller, of this city. The

Ii Hung Chang.

Vancouver, B. C, Aug. Io.-It is well
understood among the small army of
Cinnamon in British Columbia that Ii
Hung Chang, viceroy of Pechill, fears
to return to the orient by way of San
Francisco, owing to the hostility of his
countrymen in the state of California.
In British Columbia there may not be
the same organized hostility to the
viceroy, but the ill-feeling toward Ii
is, nevertheless, universal among the
orientals here. One prominent agitator
makes a bold suggestion through the
local press, that the great statesman be
seized and taken to the leper settlement
on the lonely Darcy island, B. c., as
life prisoner.
1t is a settled fact that Ii Hung
Chang will return to the orient by the
Canadian Pacific railroad, and steamer
via Vancouver; but to avoid, any pos
sibility of a hostile demonstration he
will be quietly conducted to the steamer
in waiting with other passengers. No
civic reception will take place. Promi-
nent Cinnamon here give as their rea-
son for this hostility that Ii has spent
his life making money out OF his country
and people, until he is the richest man
in the world, and that at heart he cares
nothing for the country or the down
tredden coolie, whom he spurns under
foot.

New Disease Among Cattle.

ST. Louis. Aug. 19-A special to the
Globe Democrat from Ottawa, ILL.,, says;
Farmers in Brookfeld township just
south of Marseilles are greatly excited
over a new disease which has broken
out there. The disease has spread in
three herds of cattle OF 500, and many of
the animals are hopelessly blind and
others are rapidly losing their sight.
Dr. Bemis, an Ottawa veterinary called
to see them and can find nothing in the
authorities relating TO the disease, which
in each case effects the pupil of the eye.
1t may be necessary to have all the af-
fected cattle killed to prevent the spread
of the peculiar malady.

Tn. Democratic Gold Ticket.

Indianapolis, Ind, Aug IS.-Chair-
man Bynum and secretary Wilson of
the national democratic executive COM
mittee arrived from Chicago this morn
ing. Mr.. Bynum says he has learned
that New York Will aend fall delega-
ton, seventy-two members, and large
number of visitors.
Maryland will reconsider the action
taken against the nomination of third
ticket, and will probably be well repre-
scented.
A telegram from Baltimore this morn
ing stated that w. Cabell Bruce Roger
Gull, Joseph Packard, Jr, Isidore Ray
ner, Daniel Miller, Randolph Barton,
John NJ. Nelson, T. K. Worthington,
Conway Sans, Pembroke Lee and
Thomas Leigh Bonsal will all support
the third ticket, and are very DESTROYS
of its nomination. Il is now certain
Maryland will retrace the steps which
some leaders took against the third
ticket. John K. Cowan, big Maryland
democrat, will support Mckinley in
preference TO a third ticket, is said.
Bynum says there seems to be be-
lief in some quarters that the third tick
ct will not be placed in the field. He
says further that such suposition is out
of the que stion. a ticket will be NOM
mated just as sure as the convention
meets. One of the greatest acquisitions
to the third ticket, the leaders say, is
ex- Governor Jones of Alabama, who
came out hat-footed for sound money.

MIR. Bryan,s word Good.

Chicago, Aug. I9.-"Air. Bryan's word
goes with me, and I shall be glad so to
state to the people of this country
said John NJ. Thurston, of Nebraska
after reading the fat-footed denial of
William J. Bryan, that he is or has been
in the employ of silver mine owners.
"N1r. Bryan has denied the charges
which were made by a democratic
newspaper and have no hesitation N
declaring that believe him"
Regarding Senator Stewart of Ne
vada, who has taken up the cudgels in
behalf of the democratic nominee,
Thurston said: Stewart has arrived at
that stage of political second childhood
that entities him to great consideration,
and don't think anything further need
to be said on that score"

proves his rambling assertion that S he
had shot herself, her gan being IS cal
ibre, Smith and Wesson. While the
physicians were probing for the ball her
pistol was found hidden in her dress.
One chamber was empty, but the shot
had evidently been fired some time ago.
Peironnet was taken to the police
station and afterwards locked up. He
was seen in his cell by the reporters, bat
refused point blank to talk, referring
them to his wife. He appeared to be
under the influence of liquor, and it is
more than probable he shot his wife in
drunken rage.
