Old politicians tell the young who
are starting out iu life that the Demo-
cratic party has departed from its true
! principles taught t>y our fathers:
: Washington, Jefferson, and Jackson.
If she ever taught such principles,
it is easy to recognize the departure;
| and the only name its exponents should
j now wear is either that of au apostle
I or a backslider.
Let every man who loves reforma-
tion, and who intends to remain in
either of the old parties, do as Peter,
weep in the absence of the Lord,
change himself, and then convert his
brethren. This would be far better
than to go and hang himself next No-
vember.

NEATLY CAUGHT.
Conti'Hct Laborers Arretted Through *n
Accidentally Heard Conversation.
New Yoiik, Aii£. 31.—A gang of con-
tract laborers, who tame by the Neth-
erlands American steamship Werken-
dam, nnder contract to work as tanners
for K. G. Solomon in Newark, were
neatly caught, G. R. Giluly, the super-
vising inspector of the contract labor
bureau, accidentally overheard a con-
versation several days ago which lead
to the detection of the party. The in-
spector learned that an agent of Solo- \
uion's concern would meet the ship at
quarantine. To enable the contract
laborers to recognize the emissary of
their employer, it was prearranged that
the agent would wear a white baud
upon the left arm.
When the ship reached quarantine an
inspector wearing a band upon his arm

The Atchai'alaya Outlet.
New Orleans, Aug, 31.—A meeting
of the citizens of Avoylles was held at
Moreauville to consider the efftct of the
sills laid by the government engineers
in the Atcliafalaya and Old river, at
the suggestion of Captain J. B. Eads,
some years ago, Resolutions were
adopted declaring that these obstruc-

New York, Aug. 80.—The most im-
portant conference yet held by the au-
thorities of this city regarding the ap-
proach of cholera to New York took
place at quarauti ne. It is believed that
the cholera is surely drawing near New-
York and that it is a question of a
week's time perhaps when it will be at
the gates of the city. Those at the con-
ference were: Mayor^Jrant, President
Chas. Wilson of the board of health
bureau, Dr. Jenkins, Dr. Roberts, chief
i nspector of the bureau of contagious dis-
eases, Quarantine Commissioner Allen,
President of the Police Board J. J. Mar-
. till and Dr. Henry L Bienefeld, who is
in charge of Hoffman and Swinburne
islands. The conference lasted about
an hour, after which the party took a
| boat for Hoffman and Swinburne islands,
every part of which was vitited and
methods of fumigation and disinfection
examined. The arrangements were ap-
proved, but some new suggestions are
to be adopted. Dr. Bienefeld told a re-
porter that all suspicious cases would
be detained on Hoffman island and
when unmistakable evidences of cholera
appear they will be taken to Swinburne
I island. Both islands are amply pro-
j vided for all contingencies. Health
i Officer Jenkins said he would continue
qnarautine regulations as at present en-
I forced for at least one and perhaps two
: years. Eveu if the cholera does not

Strict Cholera Regulations.
New York, Aug. 30.—The following
order was issued by Health Officer
Jenkins: "All vessels from cholera in-
fected ports carrying steerage passen-
gers from infected localities will be sub-
jected to quarantine examination for
from two to five days. B tggage and
passengers will be transferred to Hoff-
man island, where passengers will re-
ceive a bath, while the clothing and
baggage will be disinfected by steaui.
Passengers will then be returned to the

•Jo Abbott Renominated.
Waxahachuc, Tex., Aug. 31.—Hon.
Jo Abbott was renominated for congress
from the Sixth district. On the first
ballot he only lacked live vot -s of the
necessary two-thirds and after 100 bal-
lots Messrs. Aldredge and Allen, the
opposing candidates, withdrew and left
him sole master of the field. But so
slight was Abbott's hold on some of his
votes that once or twice it was only a
train of luck that kept him to the front.
Judge Aldredge himself has nothing
but kind words in his defeat. Some of
the members of the Dallas delegation
are talking harshly of some other mem-
bers of the delegation. They say they
could have got the votes of Ellis county
had not some members of the Dallas
delegation gono to Ellis and Hill coun-
ties and implored them to stand by Ab
bott. The Aldredge men say these men
were going to try and break the unit
rule in order to vote for Abbou and
rather than have a quarrel before the
whole convention they withdrew Ald-
redge's name and kept the knifing busi-
ness at home.

El Paso, Tex., Aug. 31.—Joe Beach, j
hotter known as Diamond Joe, tho
prospector, who left the city a month
ago with a party of Chicago mining

miles east of Tombstone, Ariz., and re-
ports the Apache Indians depredating

order without dissent, all apparently
realizing with the board of health the
danger of infection. Several steam-
ships arrived and were detained at
quarantine for inspection and fumiaa
tion of baggage. They were the Ari-
zona from Glasgow, Picqua from Na-
ples and the American from Bremen
All passengers submitted to a searching
investigation and the vessels, baggage
and mails were disinfected. No evi
dences of cholera were found among the
passengers. Th e vessels were released
and proceeded to the docks. The report
that cholera has broken out in Havana
has decided the quarantine officials to
be more careful about steamships from
that port. The report, however, is nor
believed.
Postmaster Van Cott sent u commn
nication to the healfti department stat-
ing iu view of the prevalence of cholera
at the ports from which mails were re-
ceived, the mails should be disenfected.
The postofflce authorities have no facil-

AJoKlnley Law Has Not Increased Wages
and Manufactured Products—David B.
Hill a Brave Id an and Loyal to trite
Ticket.
Washington, Aug. 80.— Senator Voor-
liees is in this city from New York.
In an interview in which the inquiry
was made of him what he thought of j
the statement of Labor Commissioner j
Peck of New York that since the en- [
actment of tho McKinley law wages
and manufactured products had in-
creased so greatly in New York, he re-
plied that ho had long since learned to
discredit any statements made by man-
ufacturers in regard to the wages paid
out and the amount of their products.
Wanting the protective tariff perpetu-
ated, they were sure to exaggerate in
the line of making that system a good
thing. In this case blanks were left
them to fill up, and they filled them up
to suit their desires. He said that the
absurdity of the showing was no better
illustrated than that dnring the last
campaign Democratic speakers through-
out the whole country defied the Re-
publicans to produce a.man whose wages
had been raised, and even asked such
people in their auaiences as had wages
raised to "rise up," and never was tnero
a man produced or a man known to
raise.
Asked about t*& report that Hill was
disposed to knife the Democratic ticket,
he replied that he was fresh from New
York and knew what he was talking
about when he said that such report
was absolutely false. "Mr. Hill," he
said, "is a wise man and a brave man.
He has made mistakes, in my opinion,
like all men have done, but I know that
in his own good time he will come for-
ward and show how wrongful are the
reports that he is disloyal to the ticket."
"I know this," said the senator, "there
is the utmost harmony among the New
York Democrats and Mr. Hill, and his
friends will do as much for the D.;mo-
cratic ticket as any Democrats iu New
York."
When asked what he thought of the
prospects, Mr. Voorheeu said it was yet
too early to prophesy. He might do
this if he were younger, but the older
he became the more timid he became in
giving opinions. As to Indiana, he said
that he had opposed Cleveland's nomi-
nation because he thoughc he would be
unsatisfactory to the people of his state,
particularly to the soldier element.
"But in this," said Mr. Voorliees, ^'1
was mistaken. There is no opposition
to him among the Indiana Democrats.
I made a mistake about my own people."
Cottou Crop in the Memphis District.
Memphis, Aug. 30.—The resrular
monthly cotton crop report for tho
Memphis district, which embraces west
Tennessee, north Mississippi, north
Arkansas and north Alabama, to be
issued Tuesday by Hill, Fontaine & Co.,
will say: "Under the beneficial influ-
ence of favorable weather crop pros-
pects have improved somewhat. The
majority of our correspondents report
that the weather during August has
been favorable for cotton, but taking
the season as a whole 244 out of a total
of 312 report it less favorable than last
year. The plant is making progress
and, while the average of replies indi-
cates that the season is fully
eighteen days late, the majority
of the plant is fruiting well and
retaining its squares and bolls.
There is generally no complaint. How-
ever, there is in all four states shedding
due to excessive rains in some localities
aud drouth in others, There are also re-
ports of worms in Mississippi and rust
in all the states. The condition of crops
summarized is ouly fair and not up to
the average. Two hundred aud eighty-
four of the total report them muoh less
promising than at this date last year
and 302 report damage from various
causes to greater or less extent. Pick-
ing will not commence in any ot the
four states earlier than Sept. 15, and
will not become general towards the
last of the month, and in many sections
will be delayed until the middle of OC'
tober. The corn crop is in better con-
dition than cotton and on account of a
large increase in acreage the yield
promises to be more than ample for
home demand."
Republic's Cotton Crop Report.
St. Louis, Aug. 27.—The Republic, in
, its weekly review of the condition of tho
cotton crop, says:
"The last seven days have generally
improved the outlook for the cotton
crop. The best prospect as heretofore is
in Texas, where picking has begun reg-
ularly in sections and where one report
says the crop will be the largest for ten
years, despite decreased acreage.
"Rains have fallen in Arkansas where,
although the crop is late, will be about
as large as last year's.
"There is a better outlook in the
Memphis district, where lateness is the
fault of the crop, and this is due mostly
to recent floods.
"In Mississippi there has been too
much rain and some quarters report the
plant not fruiting as it should.
"In Louisiana there has been a cessa-
tion of continuous rains, followed by
cloudy weather, which has prevented
rust and shedding. The situation there
is more cheerful.
"In South Carolina there is little
change from unfavorable conditions
heretofore reported, which make the
crop late and poor.
"Reports ~>t boll worms are more fre-
quent than a week ago, but all say their
work will not do serious damage. At
points caterpillars are heard of in both
Mississippi and Alabama, but they have
not done much harm."
Dam Company Organised.
El Paso, Tex., Aug. 30,—A company

ting a big international dam across the

Was the Bruncau Vailey in Idaho bjr a
Large Meteor.
Boise, Aug. 30.—On the night of
Aug. 20 the upper end of theBiuneau
Vailey, Owyhee county, was made light
as day by the fiery glow of a large
meteor that shot earthward out of the
southwestern Heavens. Jack Ronald,
who witnessed the flight of the aerolite,
said it appeared as large as an ordinary
box car, and tbut as it slanted down-
ward it emitted alternately a deep red
and a dazzling white light. He could
hear a humming noise as the heavenly
fire brand dropped through the air, aud
occasionally there was a sound as of the
distant explosion of small firecrackers.
He saw the meteor pass down behind
the dark outline of a high hill, aud a few
seconds later he heard a s harp and res-
onant explosion. Within the next few
moments Rjnald saw six fAiialier aero-
lites shoot through space but he amid
not tell whether any of them struck the
earth. After the fall of the big meteor
the air was charged with electricity,
which so affected Ronald's horses that
they became sick, staggered aud fell
down vomiting and snorting. Next
morning Ronald made a search for the
aerolite, but he was unable to find a
trace of it.
Another man who witnessed the phe
nomenon was Orley Adams, a placer
uiiuer. On Tuesday he, too, commenced
a search for the fiery visitor, and after
a few hours his search was rewarded
by the discovery of a meteoric stone,
weighing probably 400 pounds, which
had struck a sandbank on the margin of
the creek, and hail then recochetted
ninety feet to a bluff of clay, where it
had lodged. Adams, after considerable
effort, chipped off a piece of the stone,
and now has it in possession in this
city. It has the appearance of a half
smelted iron ore, but Adams declares
that an assaver has assured him that it
is rich in gold. Adams, who is a rep-
utable man, says he is sure he has found
the aerolite that was seen by Ronald
and himself. He declares that he was
not over 1000 yards distant from the
meteor when it struck the earth, and
that he felt the heat and electric atmos-
phere which surrounded the incandes-
cent bolt. When he arose next morn-
ing and started to search for the fallen
star, as he termed it, he found stumps
and bowlders sprinkled with fine sand
and, correctly conjecturing that the
meteor must have landed iu or near the
creek, he proceeded to the stream aud
soon discovered what he sought. He
will haul the stone to the railroad an l
ship it to D"river, being unwilling to
part with it for scientific purposes. He
thinks the meteor, which is extremely
heavy, is more than half gold.
Buried Treasure Unearthed.
Brenham, Tex.. Aug. "6.—A short
distance from the city W. S. McDonald,
a promiueht Irish-American, following
the instructions of a chart found in
some old pap°rs, unearthed a tin box
containing $820 in gold. $180 iu silver
and |7 in Confederate currency bearing
the date 1881. The bills in the bottom
of the box were badly molded, those on
top beiug in an excellent state of pres-
ervation. There was a note in the
bottom of the box bearing date of Jan.
12, 1862, but it was illegible with age
and mold. The silver dollars were all
of old style, aud there is every indica-
tion that the treasure was buried dur-
ing the war by some one who was leav-
ing for the battlefield. It is believed
that there is a largo amount of the
treasure, and further search will be
made.
An Kngineer'g Narrow Kfloape.
Gukdon, Ark., Aug. 80.—An accident
occurred here on the main line of the
Iron Mountain road. An engine was
switching some cars on a sidetrack, and
in so doiug succeeded in obstructing the
clear of the main track while yet on the
siding, Eugine 608, pulling freight No.
78, jammed against the car left pro-
truding on the right of way of tho mam
track, damaging the entire side of the
engine and smashing tho cab into Sep
arate bits. Engineer Smith was vio-
lently thrown from his seat while at-
tempting to stop the engine, and when
found was lying beneath the cars occu-
pying the switch with a broken leg, a
crushed shoulder and several scalp
wounds. He was lucky to escape beiug
killed.
A Deserted Village-
ATCinsoN, Has.. Aug. 80.—Applica-
tion has be'en made to vacate the town
site of Sumner, Atchison county. The
town was organized in 1858, and was at
one time the home of John J. Ingalls
and A. D. Richardson, author of "Be-
y.,nd the Mississippi." The p-rents of
Minnie Houk also lived there. When
the famous prima donna was a child the
town was a rival of Atchison for the
county seat. In early times, after it3
failure to secure this distinction, most
of the people moved to Atchison, anu
the ninety blocks which composed the
town site wore long ago converted into
corn fields aud garden patches. Sum-
ner is three miles from Atchison, and
was a flourishing town in territorial
days.
