THE contest for the Republican nomination for the Presidency has practically reached the point where the unexpected is not likely to happen.

A GREAT deal is said of political bosses, and yet the fact is apparent that they do not count for much when the people have a clearly defined purpose.

THE demand for a return to reciprocity is as universal and vigorous as is the demand for a restoration of other features of the McKinley tariff. This combination will form the basis for the construction of a protective tariff that will, we trust, be enacted by a special session of Congress in less than a year from now.-

CONGRESSMAN J. A. HATCH has withdrawn from the race for renomination in the Tenth district. This leaves but two candidates in the field, namely, J. Frank Hanley, of Warren, and E. D. Crumpacker, of Laporta. Mr. Hanley is in the present House, and is one of the most brilliant young men from the West. As he he has served but one term it would be the neat thing for the Republicans of that district to renominate him by acclamation.

THE Republicans of Nebraska recently held their State convention, and, of course it was a patriotic, enthusiastic gathering of the best elements of the State, W. P. McCreary was called to the chair as temporary president, and in the course of his remarks he made this splendid hit: "What the people want is the demonetization of Democracy and the free and unlimited coinage of Republicanism!" Mr. McCreary would make a good paragraph writer on a Republican newspaper.

GEN. GROSVENOR puts the number of delegates already chosen who are certain to vote for McKinley at 495, while Jo Manley, Speaker Reed's right hand man, places the McKinley vote at 275. Probably th^ truth lies half way between the two estimates. The current, however, is strongly in McKinley's direction. It is entirely safe to predict that the momentum which he has received will give him a large majority in the convention There is no power on earth now to prevent McKinley from being the next President of the United States.

THE New York Engineering and Mining Journal says: "The cause of international bimetallism is by no means dead on the contrary, it is making substantial progress, and especially in Great Britain, where nearly every prominent political economist of less than seventy years of age is a bimetallist. On the 20th ult. there was at

Brussels a very important meeting of bimetallists, representing, unofficially, most of the European countries, and it was decided to establish a permanent bimetallist congress, with the object of discussing such suggestions as are brought before it, and finally arriving at the most desirable practical plan for an international adoption of bimetallism.

Star City B. & L. Association vs Ezra C. Voris. Complaint. Plaintiff filed motion for a change of venue.

David F. Smith vs. Katie Smith. Di­

"This is the first rational step that has been taken of an international character, for, in all the monetary congresses of the past, in 1878, 1SS1 and 1892, no plan whatever was ready or presented, and such an official congress, called together without any prearranged plan, could never be empowered by the respective governments to do anything failure was, therefore, inevitable. Now it may reasonably be expected that a workable plan will be formulated, and will be understood and generally approved by the several governments before the next oilicial monetary congress convenes. *, "How can Americans best promote the success of the bimetallist cause? Assuredly by rejecting all the propositions that would lead to a depreciated currency and that would identify, in the public mind, bimetallism with depreciated or dishonest money."

SOME months ago there was an exhaustive discussion by the members of the "American Institute of Electrical Engineers of the question of how far electricity was likely to supplant steam on trunk railways. The opinion generally held was that, "while electricity was well adapted for the passenger traffic on trunk lines now carried on by steam, and its utilization for that purpose would make rapid headway, freight trains would, at all events, for a long time to come, be more advantageously operated by steam than by electricity. William Baxter, Jr., in a recent series of articles, questions the soundness of this view. He contends that if electricity can compete with steam at all, it will be for heavy freight traffic, and shows that many of the arguments advanced to prove that electricity would be too expensive for freight traffic are specious."

Washington Alote's Heath.

Washington Mote, an aged and well respected citizen of this neighborhood, died at his home Monday morning, May 4, from paralysis. He was born in this county in 1829 and has resided here almost sixty-seven years. Fie was married to Mary A. Cox, Nov. 11, 1852. To them were born eleven children, the mother and eight childreu, four boys and four girls surviving hin. They were all present at the time of his death exept the oldest son, whose home is in California. Mr. Mote was well known in the county, having worked at the carpenter's trade for many years. He owned a good farm near Garfield and for the last twenty years had spent his time in farming. For the past year his mind has been so weak that he was not able to attend to business. He united with the Christian church in a meeting conducted by Rev. William Washington in what was then known as the old Cox school house in 1861. After the organization of the present Christian church in Darlington he moved his membership there and was identified with that church until his death. He was an honest, upright citizen, a true friend and a kind and loving husband and father. The bereaved friends have the sympathy of the entire neighborhood in their affliction. The funeral services were conducted at the South Christian church in Darlington, Wednesday, May 0, by Rev. F. P. Trotter, pastor of the cburch. Interment at Odd Fellows' cemetery. C. P. M.

The New Sleeves.

Despite the loud remonstrance of the society belle, dame fashion has decreed the "new sleeve" and some of the new costumes have gone entirely back to the tight sleeves, relying for the width at the shoulders, to which we have be come too accustomed to leave it off suddenly, on the voluminous Marie Antoinette fichu, the sleeves ending at the elbow with'several full iiouncings. A pretty gown made in this way is of brocaded taffetas with a Persian design in pile tints of pink and green. This is made Princesse shape, cut low in the neck, with tight-fitting elbow sleeves, finished in the manner already described. The low neck is filled in with gathered white mousseline de sole, and finished with a collar of brown satin with full wide bow at the back. Over the shoulders a Marie Antoinette fichu is drawn straight in front to a point at the waist, where it is confined with two moulinet bows of brown satin with a band between the ends of the fichu showing below on other sides like a jabot, the back being rounded like a cape. The front of the dress is left open to display an embroidered petticoat of mousseline de sole, with seams like that of a combination of that in the neck. Brown satin bows also finish the sleeves at the elbow.

A WhiteRvllle Wedding.

Bloomington Telephone: D. C. Wingert left this morning for Whitesville, where he will be united in marriage Thursday evening to Miss Ida F. Hall, an accomplished young lady and a popular school teacher of Montgomery county. The bride elect is a daughter of Benj. Hall, a prominent farmer.

The bride and groom will arrive home Sunday evening and will go to housekeeping in the Joe McKinley property, on east Third street.

BAILEY WORE THE GRAY.

15ut He Kicked it Oil' In tbe Kiver When lie Thought He Whs Drowning.

Chicago Post: C. B. Landis, of Delphi, Ind.. recently nominated for Congress by the Republicans of his district, is a good story teller as well as an effective campaigner. He visits Washington occasionally, and one time while there during Harrison's administration he was a member of a little group of office-holder: and politicians. In the course of the hour they got to discussing the claims of a Western man for an office which his friends were seeking for him. "I am told," said the champion of a rival candidate, "that Bailey is not the best man for the place. He seems not always to have been a loyal man. Indeed, I have heard it from men in his own district that he has even worn the confederate gray. I cannot support such a man for the position." "Landis," said a prominent Republican of the party, "you know Bailey. Did he ever wear the Confederate gray?" "He did,' said Landis, and the friends of the applicant were astounded. Bailey had always been regarded as one of the most loyal of Union soldiers.7 "I will tell you how it happened," continued the Indiana man "Bailey was captured at the first day's fighting at Pittsburg Landing, and was imprisoned on one of the boats of the rebels in the Mississippi. He suffered a good deal. I don't need try to describe all that to you. But when his clothes had been worn awav and torn away and burned away, and when he lay there on the decks half dead, he accepted the gray trousers of a rebel soldier. Two days afterward the boat's boiler exploded and the crew—officers, prisoners and all—were thrown into the river. Many of them were killed. Bailey was wounded, but he revived when he found himself adrift in the river. He was weak from sickness and abuse, and he was Jbleeding from the injury received in the explosion. He felt he could not live. "And Bailey said to himself: 'I did manage to put on the gray while 1 was alive, but I'll be burned if I want to die in the gray!" And, floating there in the Tennessee river, clinging to a bit of wreckage, ill and wounded, he managed to kick off those gray trousers, and as he cast them from him bis interest in life ended for the time and he released his hold on the floating timber and fainted. Another prisoner saw him and saved him, and after a while he was exchanged. And he fought like a hero to tbe end of the war. "That's the way he wore the gray."

HOLMES HANGED.

The Arch Fiend the Central Figure at a Popular Necktie Social This Morning— His Declaration on the Scatlbld.

Special to The Journal. Philadelphia, Pa., May 7.—Herman W. Mudgett, alias Holmes, was hanged this morning for the murder of Benj. Pitzel. The marvelous nerve of the man never departed from him to the end. On the scaffold he was cool and by far the coolest person in the assemblage. Iu a few words he proclaimed his innocence of any murder including that for which he was convicted and hanged. He declared his only wrong doing in taking human life was that for which he could not be held responsible, and consisted in the death of two women who died as a result of a criminal operation at his hands. These victims were not named by him. Holmes' death was an easy one and the execution was conducted with a scientific skill.
