Is Judge Earle Candidate
Columbia Register, Wednesday One
of the political rumors current yester-
day was that Judge Earle would be q
candidate for United States senator.
No confirmation of the story could be
obtained, but the rumor was generally
talked of in political circles. Should
the Judge become a candidate matters
would become greatly complicated and
would add further uncertainty as to the
outcome. Judge Earle is u kinsman of
Senator Irby and this lends doubt to
the rumors.
Cond,do<aa For State Ola Ces.
News and Courier, Thursday The
question is being generally asked now
why there are so few candidates for
the various State officer. No one
seems to know. 1t may be that they
will come out before the 22d, when
the pledges have to be filed. 1t seems
that with the complications that are
now on and which seem to be gath
ering every day it would be a good'
time for candidates to come out and
at least make ready for the fray in
case there should be any new devel-
opments. Under the rule of the par.
ty unless pledges are filed by the 22d
the candidate is cut off. Up to this
morning the only pledges filed with
Chairman Tompkins are: For State
treasurer, DR.. w. II. Zimmerman for
governor, G.. Walt Whitman for So
iicitor, Cole L. Blease. The assess
ments which have to be paid to the
State committee have to be sent to
the treasurer of the committee, Colonel
Willie Jones.

To Uniform the MILITIA.
Adjutant and Inspector General
Watts has sent out to the militia com
panies of the State, circular in which
he calls upon them to make requisi'
tions for such supplies as they deem
absolutely unnecessary. 1t seems that
the appropriation of the national gov
ernment this year is much larger than
usual, and the adjutant and inspector
general thinks that he has, or will
have on hand, a sufficient number o.
regulation uniforms to uniform every
company in the State. The various
companies are requested to send in the
measures for their men.

dignitaries. The costumes OF many OF
the cossack representatives and depu-
tations from remote regions of Siberia,
from Turkestan and from the various
provinces along the Monaghan frontier
were most peculiar and their faces va
ried as much as their costumes. The
representatives from the Asiatic tribes
bore presents of oriental workmanship
and sometimes presented coins. Many
more gifts than were presented at this
reception have been received by the
Gear, including very valuable offerings
from the Shah of Persia and hundreds
of costly gifts from the south of Russia.
All these gifts but augment the famous
imperial treasures in the Kremlin.

The Prohibitionists,

P1rrsBURe, Pa, May 2S.-The pro-
hioition convention reassemDleo IN
Exposition Hall this morning. Inc
women were first given q hearing Ia
favor of woman suffrage and other
reforms advocated by the Woman's
Christian Temperance Union. A COM
mittee of FIVE ladies was appointed to
consider these requests.
The committee then reported the
platform as agreed upon by the ma
iority. The first six planks were de.
mandatory of the liquor traffic and
propose straight-out prohibition. The
seventh plank declared that no citizen
be denied the right to vote on account
of sex. When Gov. st. John rose to
present the minority report he was
received with loud applause from the
broad guage faction. The minority
money plank demanded that all money
be issued by the government only and
without the Intervention of any private
citizen, corporation or banking instltu-
ton; iiouidating all outstanding obi.
cations payable in coin and free and
unlimited coinage of silver and gold at
a ratio of 16 to /, without consulting
any other nation. On the motion to
make these recommendations part OF
the majority report, the fight began.
The vote was taken on motion to
table Gov. st. Johns proposition, and
resulted as follows: Yeas, $40; noes,
1872, 80 the convention refused to table
the motion to make the minority re-
port part of the majority report.

close the debate. He explained that each
plank could be voted upou separately. The
first five planks relating to prohibitory legis'
lation for the suppression of tho liquor traffic
were unanimously adopted. An Intellectual
effort WAS made to table the sixth plank call
ing upon the churches to support tho prohibi'
ton ticket at the polls. When the woman
suffrage plank was reached hot debate arose.

THURSDAY EVENING, MAY %, 49, 6

A PARAGRAPH in the GAZETTE's
Washington correspondence of yester-
DAVIS date afforded another apt illus
tration of the great change that has
taken place in the character OF the peo'
ple of the South since the unfortunate
result of the war between the States.
It was to the effect that the objection
to the proposed inscription OF the let
tiers c. S. A. after the name OF Lit.
Colonel John A. Washington, the late
owner of Mt. Vernon, on the monu-
ment to him in the grave yard there
was made, not by the Northern mem
bers of the association now owning the
place, but by those hailing from the
South. There is no doubt of the fact
that Colonel Washington was lieu
tenant colonel during the war; it ID also
plain that to have been such an officer
he must have been in one ofthe armies,
and all who ever heard of him know
that he was not in the federal, but in
the Confederate army. Why then the
inscription of that fact upon his monu-
ment, aud that, too, in the lot that be-
longs to his own heirs, should be OBJ
iected to by any body, is passing
strange, but by Southern people, excites
who do not know, as Sir Henry Lee
the special WONDERFUL only of those
did, that it is the times, and those who
rule the times, that make even gray
boards deceivers.

How to Treat a Wife.
From Pacific Health Jonrnal /,

iFrom Pacific Health Journal)
First, get wife; second, be patient.
You may have great trials and per-
plexities in your business, but do not,
therefore, carry to your home cloudy
or contracted brow. Your wife may
have trials, which, though of less mag
nitude. may be hard for her to bear.
A kind word, q tender look, will do
wonders in chasing from her brow all
clouds of gloom. To this we would add
always keep a bottle of Chamberlain's
Cough Remedy in the house. 1t is the
best and is sure to be needed sooner or
later. Your wife will then know you
really care for her and wish to protect
her kealtb. For sale by L. stabler &

SOME OF the good money newspapers
of the North do the cause they profess
to support much harm by the way in
which they advocate that cause. One
of them for instance, the New York
World, asserts that the silver men con-
template a bolt at the Chicago conven-
lion, though in the very same issue it
urges the maintenance of the two
thirds rule at that convention, as the
only means of preventing the nomina-
ton of silver man for President.
The probability is that the gold men
will bolt. There would certainly be no
sense in the silverites doing so, when it
is conceded that they will have large
majority in the convention.
