Waco, Tkxas, Septkmhku S, 18S8.
Joseph Pulitzer, who went abroad
under the care of his physician, is
now in London. His sight has not
yet been restored, and, it is said, is
mot likely to be.
Mr. Blaine has done good, what
ever he may have meant. His de
fense of trusts has alarmed the whole
country, and drawn more attention to
these dangerous combinations than
they ever before received. Louisville

Judge Thurman, says the Boston
'Globe, is sure the Democrats will car

campaigner.
A little son of D. E. Huntsberger,
Lyons, Neb., has a live frog in his
stomach, and all efforts to expel it have
been unsuccessful. The boy was

open mouth, when the frog quickly
leaped down his throat.
John J, Corneilson, of Kentucky,
who assaulted a supreme court judge
ot tnat State a few years ago, and who
has been constructively in prison ever
since, has just had issued in his case
the tenth writ of habeas corpus.
The Cleveland Plain Dealer says,
we believe that Cleveland and Thur
jnan will be elected. They will carry
canied by Cleveland and
Hendricks, in 1884, and have more
than even chances in Michigan, Cal
ifornia, Nevada, with fair prospects of
Minnesota. And Ohio is not a cer
tain state for Ben Harrison by any
means.
The Birmingham Age says the Re
publican papers are doing a great deal
of talk now-a-days about the assess
ment of government employes for
campaign purposses. We used to
talk just the same way when the Re
publicans were in power. The truth
is, we don't believe either party cares
a continental about the civil service
law.
In New York on Sunday last a most
curious and interesting ceremony took
place in the chapel of the Institute
for Deaf Mutes, in East Fourteenth
street, where Archbishop Corrigan ad
ministered confirmation to twenty of
the inmates. The ceremonr w con
ducted entirely in the sign language.
Afterward one of the mutes made an
address Dy signs to the archbishop,
which the rector of the mission, Rev.
Fathor Belinger, translated vocally.

Trincess Letitia Bonaparte has been
calculating the odd relationships which
she will enter into upon marrying her
uncle, the Duke of Aosta, in a few
days. She will be at the same time
daughter and sister-in-law of her own
mother, niece and sister-in-law of the
King of Italy and cousin and mother-in-law

jrother and of his sister.
OOL. JONES A CANDIDATE.
Authorltntlyo Announoomont. Ho
Will Run forOongroBB.
Speculation has been rite for many
days past in regard to the possible
candidacy of Col. E. A. Jones for
congress from the 9th Congressional
District 011 an Independent ticket. The
News is enabled to say this afternoon
that Col. Jones is such a candidate,
and will make the race as an Inde
pendent against Hon. Roger Q. Mills.
Col. Jones has had the matter, which
has been pressed upon him by the op
position in all parts of the district,
under advisement for some days. The
pressure has been so great that he
could not lesist it, and he has decided
to enter the political arena, in de
ference to a demand from the opposi
tion to Mills, a demand singularly
unanimous. If an Independent is to
run, as has been almost a foregone
conclusion for many months, Waco,
without regard to political sentiment,
must feel gratified that the opposition
in the eight counties composing the
district have centered on a Waco man
for a contest which would seem utter
ly hopeless without a man of extra
ordinary strength to make the race.
It is a compliment alike to the man
and to the city.
As to the nature ofhe contest it
may be said that the majority in tvora
of Mr. Mills was over 7000 at the last
election when the fiercest opposition
was arraigned for his defeat and as to
the possibility of overcoming that ma
jority, there is a field for full specula
tion afforded the opposition. As to
Col. Jones himself, he is a man of
most eminent ability, and in character
sans peur et sans itproche, and will
crystalize the opposition to a man.
The Maine election takes place on
Monday next the 10th instant. Wil
liam L. Putman is the Democratic
candtdate for Governor and E. C.
Burleigh the Republican. It is said
that Chairman Joseph Manley, of the
Republican committee, a noted mana
ger, is working harder than in 1884,
when Blaine was running for Presi
dent. In 18S4, Robie, the Republi
can candidate for Governor, received
a plurality of over 19,000 votes, and,
of course, if the Republican plurality
on Monday falls short of these figures
a practical victory must be conceded
to the Democrats.

3,000,000 granted them on completion
of the building.
