STATE POLITICS.
Next Years Slate Already Being Made


up
am told that the self-styled
leaders of the Silver party have
made up their minds to drop the
present Secretary of State, Super
intendent Of Public instruction and
State Controller in making up a
slate for 1898. 1t would not be
surprising if such was in reality, the
official program These three gen
tlemen have, believe, served the
people rs well as the nature of their
authority and offices would allow,
and that Is reason enough, in the
minds of the LEADERS, for dissent
ion. The Silver party has just
enough Democrats in its ranks to be
sure of making a big mistake at
just the right time.-"Felix Not. 4"
III The News
That may be, so far as the self
styled ''leaders" of the Silver party
are concerned, but the Gazette
doubts Il handful of sleaders being
able to influence a convention when
such timber as Eugene Howell is
before it. The Gazette predicts that
Howell will be there and knock the
nomination of any one else silly.
Atall events the record he has made
entities him to the nomination
again if he wants it.
The Silver party manipulators
had better think twice before box
ing up men like Howell, for they
are the cream of the party and had
it not been for them the Silver party
of Nevada would have been dead
long ago.
If the Silver party wants to
strengthen the ticket, the Gazette
would candidly advise putting Eu-
gene Howell on it if he wants the
nomination of Secretary of State.
But of course if they give the nom
ination to some one less popular the
Republicans will have an easier
fight Reno Gazette.

b. Il O. improvements.

The work of STRENGTHENING the track and
reducing the grade at Tabbs Station on the
second division of the Baltimore & Ohio
railroad was recently completed, and the
first train to use the new line was No. l, the
New York and St.. Louis flyer. A heavy
grade and three bad curves have been elm.
mated by this work. A mile east, at Meyers
Hole, similar improvement has also been
completed after months of work. Several
reverse curves and a nasty and dangerous
dip are done away with at this point. Near
Myers Hole, at Tablers, the alignment of the
track is bein g materially changed, and, as in
the other two improvements, bad grades
and sharp, annoying curves are being re-
moved. This part Of the work will be done
in sixty days and then series of very dan.
gerous places will have been entirely re-
moved. This work in its entirety means the
hauling of several additional cars in each
freight train, besides reducing the danger
of derailments to almost nothing. The Sec
ond division, running from Cumberland to
Brunswick, will soon be in frst-class con.
dition and more cheaply operated than
ever.

Story OF q scarecrow.

There is an honest Swede employed a.
. gardener in the East End, and his DELHI
crate speeches are q source of much delight
to his employer. He has been much an
noyed by thievish birds, and few days
ago suggested that "a scarecrow would be a
good thing. It took him some time to
make the employer understand what he
meant, but finally he realized it was a
dummy bird scarer, "lak in Of country"
The employer fell in with the idea and
told the -Swede to rig up Frame When
this was completed the latter was given a
bundle of cast-of clothing to deck out his
dummy. He looked askance at the gar.
ments as he put them on the sticks and
was evidently much impressed by their ex.
cellent condition. He glanced down at his
own clothes from time to time and seemed
to be making silent comparison. Present.
ly he put the scarecrow in the garden and
returned to his employer, who stood at
some little distance. He looked at the work
of art with his head very much on one side,
and finally said:
Say, mister"
"Well, John?"
."Ay tank maybe it was better change
clothes with scarecrow, or else stand myself
He couldn't bear to see the dummy wear
ing better clothes than he did.-Cleveland
Plain Dealer.
