DEMOCRATIC TICKET:

DEMOCRATIC TICKET:
Third District, GEORGE WEIR
Fourth District, WILBUR L. DRURY
Fifth District, HENRY J. GOFF
Next Tuesday an election will
be held in the Thmd, Fourth and
Fifth commissioner districts for
the selection of men whom the peo-
pie wish and think best capable of
filling those positions for the ensu-
ing three years. The manner of
conducting the business affairs of
the county is question paramount
to political creed or belief and this
should be the manner in which
the voter looks upon the matter
when he casts his ballot. George
Weir, whose representation of the
Third Distl let, the past six years
has resulted in a unanimous NOM
ination, is for many reasons the
best man for reelection in the
Third, and although it is reported
that Jno. R. Mears will solicit
votes and influence in that district
by stickers his opposition is
not by any means looked upon as
dangerous. In the Fourth district
Wilbur L. Drury, of Hope, is an
active candidate tor the commits
sionership against the present in
cumbent Com'r Harry Dunford,
who seeks reelection, and to those
who are unacquainted with Mr..
Drury 1t may be we'll to refer to
the high standing of Hope town.
ship at the present time, compared
with its condition when he took
the reins of government in town
ship matters there three years ago.
No reflection is for moment cast
upon the official record of the re-
firing incumbent, but if the people
of the Fourth District desire to
vote for conscientious admins
traitor of public affairs whose motto
will be Economy of county
funds" let them cast their ballot
for Wilbur L. Drury. Four can
didate have entered the race in
the Fifth District, from
Fremont c. r. VanNorman and
W. N. Wright are out as candidates
at the request of their friends,
while IN Olga Henry J. Golf has
strong following that insist that
victory is theirs. At the last hour
the news reach us that John Reid
has been persuaded to enter the
lists and break the three cornered
fight. The out come is as yet a
secret in the Fifth, but COTS fol-
lowing is said to be growing
stronger daily.

THE NEWS IN WASHINGTON.
Officials Believe the Change WIN Re-
suit in Benef1t to Cnba.

Officials Believe the Change win Re-
suit In Benefit to Cuba.
Washington, Sept. 30-The news of the
Spanish cabinet crisis was brought to
the attention of the officials of the
state department and diplomatic Of
f1cials through press dispatches from
Madrid. 1t is surmised that Minister
Woodford's failure to cable the depart
ment was attributable to the fact that
it was after nightfall in Madrid before
the news became known. 1t cannot be
said that the event caused surprise
among the officials of the state depart
ment or among the members of the
diplomatic corps in Washington.
High officials in the administration
expect that a Liberal cabinet, under
the leadership of the veteran Sagasta
will be erected on the ruins of the Az
carraga cabinet. If this should be the
case the future is held to be full of
promise for Cuba, for it is recalled that
the Liberals have not hesitated to ex-
press their opposition to the great ex-
penditure ofAhuman life and vast treas
ure in the effort to carry out the re-
pressive Conservative program for the
conduct of the war. 1t is not believed
that the Liberals are prepared to go
to the length of promising freedom for
Cuba, but from the expressions of the
leaders of the party 1t is hoped that
they are willing to grant so liberal a
measure of home rute and autonomy
to the island that of Spanish sover-
eighty nothing would remain save a
spread in the way of few preferential
duties and perhaps the power of ap-
pointing some officials corresponding to
the governor general of Canada, named
by the British crown.

Struck by an Engine.

Mr.. Il. NJ. Miller, an engineer of
a west bound freight, made nar.
row escape from death on Monday
morning last. He had stopped his
train at the pen stock and while the
tank was being filed with water he
was oiling his engine. He had
about finished and was about to
climb into the cab when No. IL

engine was popping off" and it is
supposed that the noise of escaping
steam drowned the sound of the ap-
preaching train. Mr.. Miller was
struck in the left side by the front
bumper of the passenger engine, and
knocked to the ground. He fell be.
tween the north and south tracks
and escaped being run over. He
was picked up, but was able to walk
to the train Dispatcher Office. A
severe bruise 10 the back was the
only marks found upon him, except
a slight flesh wound on the left
wrist. He was sent to his home at

Prosperity in Spite of Itself.

The gold output is almost certain
to put Colorado in the lead of all
other gold-producing states and
Colorado will receive the benefit of
several million dollars in excess of
last year from this, the gold pro-
duct alone. The wheat crop is lar
ger by one aud a half million bush
els than last year and brings so per
cent. higher prices. Oats, potatoes,
vegetables, fruits and other farm
products share in the high prices
and we're never before produced in
such large quantities. The stock

cattle and sheep than for several
years. The wool men and sheep

General Azcarraga in a long inter-

explained the situation. 1t is believed
that he asked her majesty if she was
ready to confirm the government in
necessary powers in view of the at

interview he summoned the cabinet.
The meeting was attended by Senior
Reverter, the communicated minis

rendered their designations. Shortly
afterward the premier rendered the
resignation of the entire cabinet.

Riot Law in Pennsylvania in 1874.


How Judge Jones charged Jury:
The law knows nothing of false
humanity SO tender of the lives of
bad men that it spares them at the
expense of the blood of the good.
The men who array themselves for
chilly against the laws forfeit all
rights but those of rebels and enc
mics, and may be killed as legiti-
mately as the foreign invader, and
ought to be killed as duty if they
cannot be otherwise overcome. The
sheriff who will not act out this
principle is afraid to look his official
responsibilities in the face, and
should not have ventured on his
commission. The people who will
not support conservative officer in
this principle are not manly enough
for self-government, and should
abandon, as they inevitably must
lose, that noble right. In fact, time
~ severity is actual humanity.
