He had confidently expected a new trial. A number of states held elections for different officers on Monday, in all of which the Democrats made decided gains. n* 11 1,1 The strong Republican cities are weakening. The elections Monday and Tuesday shows decided gains for the party of the people. Somk of these days Ex-President Harrison is going to tell the country who was responsible for his defeat and then there will be music in the air. Tmk loss of life caused by rail road accidents and mine explosions is about the same as during the war. At Shamokin, Penn., on last Saturday,’ten men were suffocated by a mine explosion. Twknty-fivi years ago advertising was largely an experiment; to-day it is known to bear a fixed relation to business. Large advertisers are the most successful business men. Tax Washington monument in Washington is the highest in the world, being 555 feet high, and was dedicated in 1885. The cornerstone was laid by Preßiden Polk on July 4, 1848. Now that we have the electric lights to show the council where the dirt is, let them order the city cleaned up, and then look after waterworks. We must have them. So let the good work go on until all is completed. Tbk appointment of Ex-Secretary Bayard as First Embassador from this country to England meets with the hearty commendation of all parties. He is peculiarly fitted for the position in every respect and will make a fiae impression at the English Court. -ie— — ■ " m i It is now an offense punishable with a SI,OOO fine and imprisonment for a minister or magistrate to solemnize marriages in Ohio without ® license or without the publication of the bans. All marriages must now be made public, and the “please don’t publish” will no longer count when spread upon the marriage license docket in the Probate Court. Pensioners in particular and the public in genera], will be pleased to learn that the President intends to have the Pension Bureau conducted on strict business principles, and that* he will not appoint a “demagogical politician” commissioner. Politics has made our pension- system -amational reproach, and rendered necessary stringent measures to secure reform. I l ']' 11l —III I ■ b A RiCABfN* room is among the necessities of our fast improving little city, a place where young men could spend their evenings in enjoyment that will lead them to be useful and intelligent men. With enterprise and care such a place can be made self-sustaining, or if it could nW, the benefit derived therefrom wjl| be so great that the cost . of maintaining, such an institution I our citizens will cheerfully do J nate an amount sufficient to kee p a well-conducted reading room th at our city may be proud of. A p 4r £ of the reform that some are aim wg •t can can be accomplished in this way.

Prksidknt Ci.evei.am> is credited > with a desire to make a tour round the world at the expiration of his present term. There is no citizen of America who would be received with greater honor in all civilized lands than the man who stands for a policy which tends to draw the ' enlightened powers of the globe • into a more harmonious communion. Mr. Cleveland is not making any plans tor four years hence. He has got plenty to do right now’ without bothering homself as to Ins future personal movements. Oi k late legislature passed a very j stringent law governing the sale of j tobacco, cigars and cigarettes. It remains for tbe o®cia«s to see that I the same is duly lived up to. A few examples from tW stxn will make 1 it an easy matter for the future, and will nave a tendency* to decrease the habit especially among the youth of our land. Dealers are not only liable for selling it to children under sixteen years of age. but they are liable if they give it to them. The law goes further, it makes it a misdemeanor or anyone to give tobacco, cigars or cigarettes to any child nnder the ase of sixteen. Just after the appointment of Gresham the Republicans considered that they had a representation in the Cabinet. Many of the leading papers of that party regarded his appointment as an insult to Democracy. Cleveland, they said, had slapped his party in the face and not a few went so far as to compare the President to John Tyler. Since March 4, things have changed. A howl has gone up all along the Republican line. They regard Gresham as being more radical in carrying out Democratic principles than the most sanguine in the ranks of Democracy expected. When Cleveland he knew what he Gresham is a man of honor, therefore he can be relied upon. This will be a Democratic administration. The inventive genious of Peter Kirsch is shown in the washing machine that he now has a patent on. The machine is the best of any yet patented, The way thay sell is the best recommendation they can have. He now has them manufactured at Fort 'Wayne by the Wisell Washer Company. If some of our capitalists will take hold of the matter and help Mr. Kirsch to start a factory, there is a chance to make, some money. A factory of th is. kind is like anyother, the business men can put it in operation if they each take a small amount of stock. A factory of this kind will employ fifteen or twenty hands the year round, so that it will be an improvement that our city cannot afford to lose. The superiority of the machine over any that is now on the market will cause some city to make an offer for the factory that will be necessary to build the machines. Fedeaf! Courtsand Fugitive Slaves. If st ;rikers cause damage to property joy unlawful acts, or if they cause damage by quitting work in violat ion of contract, they can be sued and the damage recovered from such |of them as own property- as a very e reat many of ‘hem do. Thi sis law and justice. The attempt to prevent strikes by injunction; 1 he theory that a man who wishes • to quit work when he has been “S mjoined” from quitting, can be loci ;ed up for contempt, and kept locked up at the pleasure of a Federal Jn dge, is neither law nor justice, and A: mericans will not long submit to it. If a ay man on the Federal bench I >r off 5 t can compel another man to work w hen that other has at no time (bargain ed to do so, then the one is the master and the other the slave. It thus is;;to be the theory on which the Feder: il courts are to be administered, we, will not need a new fugitive slave law, for when a fugitive I escapes f rom one State to another: ’ no requisition will be required for his delivery. It will be a mere mat- '

ter of courtesy between one Federal Judge and another. Judge Kicks will telegraph Judge Hicks that one John Doe is a fugitive, having committed a contempt of court in running away from his master, after having been enjoined not to cease working until released from the injunction by the Federal court. On receiving this telegram Judge Hicks will send a sufficient force of deputy marshals to arrest the said John Doe who will thereupon be returned to the jurisdiction of Judge Ricks, to be by him dealt with for the contempt of running away from the person or corporation whom Judge Ricks had decided to be his lawful master, entitled to his services so long as the court should choose to keep its injunction in force. It may be argued by those who do not wish t» take a gloomy view of the case of John Doe that he would not be thus held to labor or service by Judge Hicks, or Dicks, or any such like tool of the Plutocracy, except in extraordinary emergencies: that ordinarily he would be free to stop work without being I locked up by Judge Hicks or Ricks. This is perfectly true. The “extraI ordinary emergency,” however, always exists whenever John Doe is trying to get his wages raised or trying to keep them from being cut down. In such emergencies he is to be enjoined by the Federal courts and then locked «p for violating the injunction—this to goon until be is willing to go back to work or until the corporation owning him and Judge Hicks or Dicks, as the ease may be, has had full time to get all the new men it needs. That being done, Judge Hicks or Ricks will be only too glad to let John Doe out of jail, as the Federal government would not stand the expense of feed ing him too long. Thus released, John Doe, if the corporation to whom Judge Ricks has beldihim to service needs him no longer, may go to Jerico for all Judge Ricks cares. And it is in this that John Doe, white slave, is not so well off as were Pompey and Cudgo, black slaves. For they could not be set adrift when they were not needed. Their master was as much bound to service to them as they to him. But these corporations which are using the Federal courts to govern their slaves by injunction, do not hold themselves bound to John Doe a moment longer than it suits them to get rid of him.—St. Louis Republic. Not only did Ex-President Har rison provide for Private Secretary Halford by given him a life office in the regular army, with the rank of paymaster and Major, but he arranged to have Major Halford detailed for special duty with the Behring Sea Commission. Secretary Carlisle discovered on Thursday of last week that Major Halford is drawing an extra llowance of sls per day as “disbursing officer of the Behring Sea fund.” Secretary Carlisle very properly characterized this proceeding as an “outrage” and took immediate stops to stop the payment of another dollar on this account. We are going to have Democratic simplicity and economy during Mr. Cleveland’s administration. A quarter of a million dollars has already been saved in the Deptrtment of agriculture by turning out superfluous clerks and other officials who have been drawing salaries without rendering compensatory services. The same pocess is being applied to all other departments. The motto of the present administration is not only that public servants must be “honset and capable,” according to the old Jeffersonian standard, but that they must work and earn what they are paid according to the modern Cleveland standard. 1 Speaking about petitions, there is a story of a certain session of the Michigan legislature which, whether true or false, has gone into history. It is a legislature of petitions, and to decide a wager one of the members circulated a prayer of a peculiar character. It was numerously signed, and in accordance with the terms of the wager was read from the clerk’s desk by privelege. What was the astonishment and chagrin ot half a dozen members to discover that they had attached their hames to a petition praying that they be executed by hanging on the following Friday. It was the purpose to teach them a lesson on the heedless lending of their names to any and every enterprise that came along, but it did nothing of the sort. Within a week a second petition was read i by the clerk and it was discovered that these same legislators bad signed another petition to the same effect.
