some sound money Democrats, whom
they call their faithful allies, a place in
McKinley's cabinet, the doing of
which will do doubt hinge upon

they will stand in need of the services
of these "faithful allies' two years
hence, when another congress is to
be elected.

died in his arms a few moments later.
They agreed to a separation six months
since, and each returned to their re

him, to which he demurred. She then
took the fatal drug which she purchased
two weeks before at Nevada.
A crevasse in the Mississippi river
jetties below New Orleans is diverting
the water from the jetties to the cast-4-'
crn pass and is making the water too
shallow for the passage of large ships
and is liable to interfere seriously

jetties. A mceung- cf rauroad mcuX JS
and others interested in commercial

last week to consider measures of re

The Republican party has no attrac

the Republican party w.ll soon show to

for them, that is, if giving them an of

Mtxnox was made in these col

father of the murdered people is a
coal miner and w orked in tlie mines at
Richmond, lie went to lus home
usually on Saturday night and remain
cd with his family until Monday morn
ing when he returned to his work.
Me and a man named Iackcy have
since been arrested tinder charge of
comotittiog the fearful crime. They
were taken out of the jail at Rich
mond last Monday lor preliminary
trial, when a mob of '200 men had as
sembled with the view of lynching the
murderers. The pluck of the sheriff
and an earnest plea on the part of
good citizens to let the law have its
course prevailed. Among those who
begged for the life of the culprits w:as

The pr boners waived formal arraign
ment and were returned to jail to await
the action of the grand jury.

We see nothing in the result cf the
late election to discomage Democrats.
While they have lost the national
ticket there nave been notable gains
everywhere, cxevpt in states that were
wedded to the gold-slandaid idea.
The Democrats have not a majority in
wjrres: it is true, Lut they made
k?rC gains as compared with the re'
turns cf two years ago.
Missouri, which had a KepuUican
legislature two years a-o, will next
time nave a large Democratic major
ity on iolnt ballot. For the frit time
in 12 years the iXrmocratic nominee
for governor lias x majority of all the
votes cast of abort 30.000. With all
the odds against it tle wonder is tliat
the Democratic ivarty fared as well as
it did.
Early in the campaign nearly all the
metropolitan newspajnrs took sides
against the lice and unlimited coinage
of silver at a ratio of 1 6 to 1 , very few
of them changing their portions after
the Chicago convention, which incor
porated that idea as a cardinal doc
trine of the Democratic platform.

They tell us many farm products arc
advancing in price, brought about by
the restoration of confidence through
McKinley's clccUon. It is cmite true
the wheat famine prevailing in India
and the short crop of this cereal in
other portions of the world have had a
tendency to advance the price of all
our cereals, but it is not yet quite cer
tain that speculators and grain gam
blers are not responsible for the late
change in prices. It is a litlt-c singu
lar that renumerativc prices for farm
products, especially wheat, never pre
vail while the crop is in the hands of
the farmer. It is also singular that
the price, even now, should fluctuate so
much in a single day, which we think
would not be the case if the price were
regulated by the law of supply and de
mand. The advance and decline of
rices for any commodity following
each odicr in so short a time are indi
cations that the grain gamblers are at
the helm, and their manipulations are
always inimical to the interests of the
ptoducer.
