Laying aside all pro- , sumption, percentage and calculation, we state as a cold, candid, official fact, shown by the official abstract of the vote, that the election last fall Sedge wick, the head of the republican ticket, received In the thirty-three counties, comprising tlie Sixth con gressional district, just 1,0011 more votes than were cast for Hollenbeck, tiie head of the fusion ticket. We will give you a few more lessons as the campaign progresses.—Alliance Times. SOME HOT SHOTS. Hon. Thomas Taggart, who was re cently indorsed by ids state conven tion for chairman of the democratic notional committee, was at the Til den Cl lib banquet swinging incense before the unrepentent ^instate from New Jersey, it is well that the demo crats of the nation learn thus early of the kind of politics to be expected when Indiana's favorite son takes the helm. -Commoner. REORGANIZATION IN ILLINOIS. The democrats of Illinois might as well face the fact that the state organ ization is now in the hands of the re organizers. They controlled the late state convention, dictated the plat form and turned t he party machinery over to John I’. Hopkins. ** Those who dominated the convention were themselves so dominated by the great financial interests of the country that, they were incapable of representing the people at large. With Hopkins in control of the party machinery the platform is, how ever, immaterial, because he could not be t rusted wit h the carrying out of'a platform embodying the Sermon on the Mount. He was the chief of the Palmer and Jluckner forces in 1896, and conducted a campaign of fraud and deception. Failing to break up the party from the out side he returned to the regular organization in 1900,and there is every reason to believe that he came back, not to assist the party, but to use the party to forward repub lican schemes. By the aid of corpor ate influence he became the head of tire state committee, and as long as he is the source of democratic authority the party in Illinois will be essentially a republican party. It will be worse than no party, for he will keep it from taking advantage of republican mis takes. His presence at the head of the organization is an insult to the in telligence, honesty and loyalty of the rank and tile. His past record and his present methods will draw to the party only the venal and the corrupt, while they will alienate those whose soul ambition is to see the government administered according to Jefferson's maxim of equal rights to all and special privileges to none. Commoner. In face of the above the populists of Nebraska have practically forsaken their organization and submitted to being swallowed by the democrat ic or ganization which to all appearances is being reorganized along the Cleveland line of thought. llow pleasing this must be to popu lists. GOT SOMETHING OF HIM. k/Worea Preachers Hrescn e ot Mina Good in Emergent.y. Uncle Buck Taylor, a veteran negro preacher, who ia a character In Rap pahannock county, Vti., Is the hero of a story that sont.the oolumr. from Lin den, that state. In the midst of an old-fashioned Baptist meeting in Crooked Run, he was Interrupted in a terrifying description of hell by a pretentious young negro, who held that Uncle Buck's Ideas were un worthy of intelligent consideration, and told the congregation that educa tion had killed off such notions of the hereafter. The old man recovered himself, however, and, when his op ponent had resumed his seat, went on: “Le’me tell yo’ one thing—all ub yo‘ ahre mo’ worthy of Hebbin an’ mo’ shuah up it than that sem’nary nigger. ’Pared to him, we ahre all as shuah ub hebbin as I am shuah to kill dat fly!” The pulpit shook as his big, black hand descended on the Bible. He peered forward, looked scared for a moment, and then, a boyish smile spreading over his face, the old man genially explained: “Dam'f he didn’t done git away— but I—I got his eyelash, brudders and sisters!” Fired at the Crisis. After Gen. Scott captured the City of Mexico, during the Mexican war, Col. Childs was placed In command of the troops In Puebla. Among the offi cers there were Major H. L. Kendrick and Lieut. Selden. Kendrick was dry in humor and quaint in speech. After the fall of the city Santa Anna hov ered around Puebla with a large com mand of cavalry, keeping Col. Childs in a state of alarm. In one of the forts Kendrick commanded and Sel den under him. One morning the enemy was reputed rapidly advancing on th# fort. Childs rushed to the fort, shouting to Kendrick: "The crisis is coming—the crisis is coming! Why don t you fire?” Kendrick turned to Selden and quietly said: "Mr. Selden, commence firing.” Selden asked: “What am I to fire at?” “Oh,” said Kendrick, “fire at the crisis.” So Selden s guns thundered ai the crisis. ✓ Official Proceedings.

Divorce in Switzerland. Geneva has the highest divorce rate of all the Swiss towns. There is one divorce to every fourteen marriages. In the other cities the rate averages one in twenty-five. The rate is not so high in catholic towns. It is easy to obtain a decree of divorce. A lawyer is not necessary, but when one is em ployed the usual fee is 25 francs ($5). Death Scattered by Chickens. That cats can spread both scarlet fever and diphtheria among humans has been a well-settled fact for some time, and now it is thought that chickens are often responsible for the presence of diphtheria. In North Wales, England, it has been observed that several outbreaks of that disease immediately followed an epidemic of “roup,” which is a fatal chicken dis ease. Freight. While 100 tons is a load for an Eng lish freight train, an average load on one of our railroads last year was 540 tons. On twro British railroads it costs from 48% cents to move a ton of freight one mile, while the cost on a leading New York road is 23% cents a mile. SOM! ANCIENT MEDICAL LORE. Prescriptions the Modern Druggist Would Find It Hard to Fill. The leech of the middle ages had his own way of treating wounds aful disease. These methods were not exactly in line with those practiced by up-to-date physicians. For instance, here is what would have been done for baby cutting his teeth in olden times: “Take a live Mowle and put hym in a brasse pot and drowyne hymme, cut hym in quarters and hange themme on a thred to drye by ye fire, hys syde; when ye wolde use it. lay it, with bladders of saffron, with a clothe to ye sore place.” Should a boy, happy possessor of his very first knife, cut himself, the bleeding of the wround may thus be stanched: “Write ye foure letters, A, O, G, L, with ye blcode of ye wounde about ye woundo.” To preserve a family from poison or infectious complaints a more compli cated course is advised: “Take j'e two walnuts, two fygges, twentie leves of rue and an ounce of salte, all stampt and myxed togeth er, eatte ytte fasting, whyche an tidote, Kynge Mithridates, he dydde so moche use that when hee dydd drynke poison to kylle hymselfe, yt dydd take none effect.’ Use Biblical Quotation. Edward Lauterbach, who is men tioned as a candidate for lieutenant governor of New York state, has two sons, who are extremely-proud of him and who talk a great deal about him. “You would think,” said a friend of the family the other day, “that those Lauterbach boys were saying a con tinuous prayer. They begin every other sentence with our father.’ ”
