Political Thieves,

John Salisbury has lost his political
influence with all wings OF all parties and
ii is easy to those who know HIM to un
derstand how he could consent to steal
the scrap assessment of Kent county aud
thereby rob three hundred and sixty Re
publicans Of their votes this year On
Saturday last few Democratic politicians
Of Dover we're in consultation about their
prospects of success this year. i was uni
versallv agreed that they were beaten and
John Salisbury said he could save defeat
III Kent county by stealing the scrap as
sessinent which he would do, aud thereby
keep three hundred negroes from voting
Jake Kirk was OF this scrap assessuleut
and Salisbury went TO him and told of
his plans, saying Eve will fix you ali
right so that you can vote" Salisbury
had been told by Zeke Cooper that Kirk
was a Republican and it was this mis-
take that had proven fatal to the damna-
BILE plaus Of the rotten Democracy of this
State. Kirk uoliied Alice, Wilson, aud
other Republicans and they went 10 the
Office of Clerk of the Peace Dickson aud
demanded to see the assessment list
Dickson refused. The demand was
pressed aud still Dickson refused TO show
the list when Frank Alice, i'll dramatic
manner placed his hand on Bible that
laid on the table and swore "On the
holy evangels OF Almighty God, swear
that you, Dickson, shall be hung by the
neck until you are dead somewhere be
tween this office and your home, it this
scrap assessment list is lost or stolen and
these men thereby are not allowed to vote
this year" This seemed to frighten
Dickson, and he said the list Was safe aud
would be kept safe, aud lie tnen aud there
brought it forth and allowed the RePub-
licaus to e@a2iine it. The political
thieves referred to in these columns from
time to time are political thieves still.
John Salisbury has lost his grip on The
party he ohee ruled and to day he is a
politician without party. Thus by one
little mistake a proposed crime was dis
covered before the rascals bad an sppor-
tunity to carry ont their damnable plans.

Cut on Her Arm.
Physicians at Bellevue hospital, New
York, were the other day treated to an
exhibition of female courage such as
they do not often witness. Mary Ann
Farrell, employed in laundry, got her
left arm caught in some machinery.
The arm was terribly crushed, but the
girl maintained her presence of mind
and told the other employees to call an
ambulance. This was done and she
was taken to the hospital named, be-
ing still conscious, though weak from
loss of blood. On being told that am
putation was necessary she said:
do it as quick as you can, and then
give me something to put me to sleep.
The pain is awful"
The doctors wanted to give her an
anaesthetic, but she refr ed, saying
she was not afraid of tb, operation.
After a great deal If coaxing and
persuasion on the pr 1t of the physi-
clans the woman all wed them to give
her small quantity Of the anaesthetic,
but not enough to make her uncon-

the elbow was cut the patient submit

was used on the bone the patient gave

II was not long before the Boston ON
oials realized what blunder they had
made when they allowed him to slip
through their fingers without giving
him a fair trial. After joining the
