SAPP AN EXPERT
Nominated His Combine JustLike
the HOpkinsyille Ringsters.
Small Vote PoIIed But That Had
No Effect On the Results
Reed Run Over.

Louisville, Ky, July 18.-The
Republican primary tor the nomi-
nation of city and county officers
was the most outrageous ever held
by any party in this city. From
the moment the polls opened at 3
O'Clock to the close at 8 o'clock
charges of fraud were made.
Money was openly used to corrupt
voters. The election officers open
ed the ballots of men who offered
their votes to see if they were mark
ed the way the machine desired.
After the polls were closed the
election officers took charge of the
count, and, it is charged, fixed up
the returns to suit themselves.
The principal interest was in the
race for Mayor between Jas, f.
Grinstead and P. B. Reed, and the
friends of the latter openly declare
that Mr. Reed was swindled out of
the nomina alton.
The primary is likely to disrupt
the Republican party in Louisville,
as men like George d. Todd and all
of Mr.. Reed S friends will not sup
port the ticket.
Only 5000 votes were polled,
against 10000 in the Democratic
primary. Even the Louisville Post
calls it ga farcical, machine-made
ticket.

IN FEMALE ATTIRE
Thomas Stokes Taught School Near
Huntsville, Ark, and Was
Quite Popular.

Van Buren,, Ark, July ITO
day T. A. Irwin, of Baird, Tex,
was in the city, having in custody
Thomas Stokes, whom he had ar
rested in Huntsville, this State,
charged with the murder of a prom
inent citizen of Baird three years
ago. Stokes, who is but "a years
old and beardless, has been for the
past three years masquerading in
female attire, and being young
man of education secured a teach
er's license and representing him
self to be woman has been teach
ing school near Huntsville. Stokes
is very reticent about the affair
and claims he is not the man want
ed. He says that the DOMINIC of
female attire was from choice, as
he better succeeded in getting EN-.
ployment as a female teacher. He
had become quite popular among
the people of Huntsville who are
10th to believe that he is not the
woman he had represented himself
to be. He was taken to Texas to-
day. Detective Irwin is quite posi-
tive that he has the right man.

first Born chiIdren the Strongest

1t would seen the first born chill
dren excel later born children in
height and weight. This may be
due to the greater yigor of the
mother at the birth of the first
child. We are reminded of a fact,
mentioned later, that out of fifty
great men of this country, 30 per
cent. were the youngest sons. In
England it was found that growth
degenerates as we go lower in the
social scale, there being a differ
ence of even five inches in height
between the best and worst fed
classes in the community. An IN
vestigation Of 10000 children in
Switzerland showed that children
born in summer are taller for their
age than those born in winter; as a
majority of children in the public
schools are forced to economic
more on account of expense of
heating, their rooms are also liable
to be small and poorly ventilated,
while in summer they are out in
the fresh air; food is also cheaper
and more varied. The influence OF
unhealthy conditions on very
young child would be much greater
than when it is older and better
able to resist them. lex. IA N

length, in executive session, and a
resolution was adopted annulling the
contract on the ground of the COM
pany's hostility to organized labor.
Donovan & Hays voted in the affirm

ing member, voted in the negative.

made knownto the agenth he at once wir-
ed the facts to the company and Friday

recting him to institute mandamus

pei it to carry out it's part of the agree
ment.
The governor, who is a lawyer, after
the meeting explained that he voted
against rescinuing the contract on
statutory grounds. He said he had
been guided by the provision of the
statute requiring that contracts which
have been awarded by the state must
be lived up. Another matter that
influenced him was the offer of the
company's agent to incorporate a un-
ion provision in the contract.

PROMISE AND PERFORMANCE.

Louisville Courier-Journal: Tesla's
latest scheme, which he promises to
have in operation by the last Of Sep
TENDER, is for the transmission of
electric power to all parts Of the globe
from the headquarters in Warden
cliffe, Long Island. Some may view
this announcement with a shade of
suspicion because it is accompanied
by the explanation that "Tesla is
averse to talking for print about his
inventions or the inventions of Others"
With this qualification there will, of
course, be no more doubt as to Tesla's
ability to do what he promises than
there has been about his other prom
ises. 1t is not absolutely known to
be impossible that some day Tesla
may discontinue making promises long
enough to redeem one of them.

WHAT EUROPE WILL NEED.

Omaha Bee: According to foreign
authorities upon the crop situation all
over the world, just about half a crop
of wheat has been raised in that part
of Europe which is the wheat import
ing area of the continent. The Lon
don Mark Lane Express which is
high authority, estimates for the Unit
ed Kingdom, France, Holland and Bel
GUM a deficit of 268, 900. 900 bushels
Of wheat, considerably more than the
average. Nearly or quite this amount
will have to be supplied by the Unit
ed States, which means a larger ex-
~portation of wheat to Europe during
the next twelve months than this coun-
try has ever made, the greatest
amount yet sent abroad in a single

THE N

Minneapolis Journal: The inter.
national law association, which is In
session this week at Glasgow, dis
cussed the Hay-Pauncefote treaty, yes,
terday, and Judge Lynde Harrison, of
Connecticut, expressed the belief that
the senate, at the coming session,
would accept the treaty on the same
lines as the rejected. Judge Harri-
0 did not state the grounds for his
belief in this opinion, but he must be
nearer to the inner consciousness of the
United States senate than most people
to hazard such a positive expression
on this subject.
Lord Pauncefote was quoted in July

before congress ~reconvened, but he
denied that any tangible result had

FEEDS TIE WORLD.

Baltimore American: 1t is estimat-
ed that in one county on the eastern
shore of Virginia, containing a popu-
lation of about $4,000, there was sold
this year $4,000 barrels of Irish pota-
toes at a profit of $1,000, 900, which
means that every man, woman and
child in the county would be entitled
to receive, if the, money were dis
tributed pro rata, something more than
SIS from one crop alone. Potatoes of
both kinds are the chief product in
that section. This year there was an
extraordinary demand for Irish pota-
toes, which has accounted for the high
prices. Ordinarily the people are salts
fed with a profit of $1a barrel.
Much has been said lately of the
damages by drouth to the corn crop
in the west. 1t has been injured, but
land in the vast corn belt is so produc-
tive and the surplus stock SO large
that a scarcity is not to be thought of
in the sense that a failure of crops is
regarded in certain sections of Europe.
The latest news from Russia is that,
owing to bad crops, one-third of the
provinces in European Russia will suf-
fer from famine this year unless re-
lieved by the government. These PROV
inces contain $4,000, 900 people-more
than half the population of the Unit
ed States. What would the people of
this country think if it were suddenly
announced that the government must
provide food for over 10000, 900 people
more than the whole population of
France and nearly equal to that of
Japan or Germany? 1t would be a
calamity that could not be apprehend-
ed in a land so favored as ours.
France must buy $1,000, 900 bushels
of wheat next year for it's people from
somewhere and the best place to get
it is from this country. Suppose the
United States did not supply to the
crowded countries of Europe, bread,
meat, fruits-in short, the necessar-
les of life-what would be the result?
There would be more serious trouble
from lack Of food in three months than
can be imagined. 1t is said that Eng
land has been compelled to spend
for purposes of relief on account of the
last famine in India $75, 000. 600, which
is al enormous drain on it's resources,
handicapped as it is at present.

OF BILLINGS.

Butte Inter Mountain: On Saturday
the thriving city. of Billings voted
bonds to raise money for municipal
improvements. 1t is the intention of
the progressive citizens OF. the Yellow
stone metropolis to keep as near the
front of the municipal procession as
possible, and certainly no city in the
state has more warrant for laying wide
and deep the foundations for the fu-
ture than Billings. The Yellowstone
valley, under irrigation, will provide
homes for more people than are today
living within the borders of the state.
In richness of soil, diversity of crops
and advantages of climate no valley
in the west offers a more inviting
field for h~omeseekers than that of the
Yellowstone. 1t is as vast in extent as
it is rich in possibilities. Naturally
Billings is the commercial center Of
the valley, and as it's people are thrift
ty and intelligent they propose to build
up a city which shall be a credit to
the state and an attractive home for
their descendants for all time to come.
The carrying of the bonds was a step
in the right direction, and the Daily
Gazette, which shared in the glory
of the event, is entitled to congratu-
lation for good work.

The editor of the Butte Inter Noun

The editor of the Butte Inter Noun
tain moralizes and breaches a sermon
to the people of Butte for permitting
prize fights and arresting poor, unfor-
tunate creatures whom sickness and
poverty drive into the streets to So
licit purchasers for their shame. He
thinks something is wrong with the
morals of a community which e%nforces
it's ordinances in such a manner and
is not slow or ambiguous in saying so.
The gentleman is right and his anger
just, but after he has lived longer in
the place he will find that there are
other things in Butte which are not
exactly as they should be. Often will
he have to swallow his wrath or inn
potently inveigh against the discrim-
ination practiced by the supposed SER
wants of the law in the matter of
dealing with offenders against their
master. Beside, the attorney general
says that prize fights as conducted in
Butte are not prize fights, but simple
little diversions created for the pur-
pose of edifying the society leaders
and prominent citizens.

learns that instead of being the guests

with the citizens passing around the
hat to pay their board bill.

A REscINDED CONTRACT.

Indirectly the state by this time
may be the defendant in a lawsuit
growing out of the fight of organized
lagbor against employees of non-union
men. The trouble has arisen over the
action Of the state furnishing board,
or rather a majority of that body in
awarding a contract and then reyok-
ing it. The Robert Mitchell Furniture
company of Cincinnati is the plaintiff
and the board the defendant.
Several days ago the board award
ed h contract for supplying the new
capitol with furniture to the plaintiff
company at a price amounting to
something Over $4,000. After the
award had been made President Nc
Donald of the Western Labor union
appeared before the board and enter
ed a protest against fulfiillment of
the states part on the ground that
the company employed non-union
labor. After he had been heard the
agent of the company was given a
hearing and said that the company
made no discrimination between or
ganized and unorganized labor and
that it employed as many union men
as it did non-union men. He also
stated that it would be satisfactory to
the company to insert a clause in the
contract to the effect that no discrim-
ination should be made between the
two classes of labor in turning out
the furniture.
Both sides having been heard, the
board discussed the matter at great

266, 900, 900 bushels.
The European authorities admit
that the record-making wheat harvest
OF this year is able almost exactly to
make up the deficit in the harvest of
Europe, making certain, therefore,
first that Europe will be abundantly
supplied and in the second place that
the United States is again to profit by
certain imperative wants of Europe
which this country alone of all wheat
raising nations will be able to meet.
The Springfield Republican remarks
that it is a fact Of large significance in
the long look ahead that Europe's de-
pendence upon the United States for
~breadstuffs is steadily increasing.
During the ten years prior to 1879 the
largest yearly shipment was 90, 900, 900
bushels. During the last ten years
the exports have averaged 173, 900, 900
bushels and during the last three years
the average has been 2OS, 700. 900 bush
els. Partial or entire crop failures
in Europe appear to be more frequent

with each crop failure there is a fail
ure afterwards to ecover lost ground

in providing subsistence which
formerly prevailed"

rights, conceded the right Of citizens
of another nation than our own to
construct an isthmian canal, by allow
ing the construction of the Panama
canal to be commenced under foreign
auspices under a joint naturalization
policy. If we, by act Of congress get
rid of the obligations of the Clayton
Bulwer treaty, we do not concurrently
get rid of the joint naturalization OBJ
legations we have entered upon for
a canal across the Isthmus of Pan
anna, do we?
1t will be well if the senate unites
in the acceptance of the reiterated
American doctrine of canal n~eutrali-
cation which has been the policy of
u government ever since this coun-
try began to talk canal. 1t is to be
hoped that the calmer consideration
Of the subject during the recess, will
bring the senate to agreement on this
subject and after the ann indi-
Gated by Judge Harrison yesterday
at Glasgow. The most serious ques-
ton relating to the canal is the mat
ter of location. Which location will
be the most economical and v
lent? Which will best subserve the
purposes of the maritime commerce
OF the world? 1t may be set down as
a fact that any canal constructed will
be the subject of joint naturalization
as recognized in the Hay-Pauncefote
treaty.

SHAMROCk'S CHANCES GOOD,

Omaha News: Sir Thomas Upton
should feel f1attered at the sensation
his cup challenger, Shamrock II, has
caused on this side of the water.
She has excited the keenest ad-
miration. Her lines are so graceful
and her build so symmetrical that
those who do not allow their prejudice
to warp their Judgment, are free to
admit that she is a dangerous rival for
the Constitution. For the first time
since England began sending chal-
lengers after the American cup, are
yachting experts dubious as to the re-
suit of the ace
The English designers have succeed
ed in building a boat which is con.
cededly superior to her predecessor.
1t is admitted that all cabled descrip-
lions of her have not been adequate to
convey a correct idea of what a beauti-
full yacht she really is. They have
done this, however, only by adopting
American ideas. 1t is said the chal-.
lenger and the defender are so nearly
alike that there is little choice be-
tween the two boats.
This years races will create greater
interest than ever before. 1t now
looks as though victory would lie
with the boat whose crew is the more
skillful in handling her. Had the Con-
+stitution proven herself as far in adj
vance of the old defender as the Sham
rock II. is superior to Shamrock l.
there would be little cause for un-
e~asiness. AS it is, Sir Thomas Lip
ton may succeed in lifting the cup.
There is no other one man to whom
American yachtsmen would surrender
the famous trophy SO gladly as to him.
He is a sportsman and nothing else. If
he wins the cup it will be because he
has succeeded in building a better
boat than we have.
1t would be something of a bitter pill
to swallow, however, to have English
designers accept American ideas, and
then beat us at our own game.
