ELECTIONS NEXT MONTH.
The political schedule for No
vember, 1890, embraces - just an
even dozen state campaigns. Of,
these, Ohio is premier, by reason
of the interest that attaches to her
as the presidential state, and be
cause the result there will in a
material degree forecast the na
tional contest in 1900. According
to the Oregonian the Ohio repub
licans are pretty badly scared.
In Kentucky there are five
tickets in the field. Republicans,
populist, prohibition, Goebel dem
ocratic and Brown democratic, for
governor, legislature and state
officers. In other states officers,
to be chosen are.
Iowa Governor, state officers
and legislature.
Maryland Governor and both
houses of the legislature.
Massachusetts Governor, state
officers and both houses of the
legislature.

officers and legislature.

The wnr between Great Britian

of the United States to take tbe part of
Great Britain and sustain ber with our

said :
"Oreat Britain' action in Honth Africa
is iu line with the duty and development
of the Anglo Haxou race. Iu her present
struggle, she deserves tbe unanimous
siiDDort of the American people. In
case other European nations should,
through international jealousy, attempt
to retard her in the clear and pimple
duty ehu la performing at this time, the
couduot of the United States should be
determined by considerations mightier
than mere political expediency or politi

VAN C. ALEXANDUlt INDICTED.
The Man Who InHtUnted the Wextfutl BUge
Kobbery Nuhhcd,
The United States grand jury at Tort-
land has returned au indictment agains
Van 0. Alexander, the older man wbo
was implicated with John Bark ley and
Forest Farrens, the two boys wbo were
arrested here by SberilT Blakely on the
westbound overland passenger, for the
robbery of tbe United States mails od
the stage between Ontario and Burns
fifty miles from Ontario.
Tbe boys were no doubt guilty, as ap
parently no attempt is made to deny
their having robbed the mails, lint at
the first, only the two boys were placed
under arrest, aud Alexander wont free
tie has, however, boen taken into oils
tody, and will stand trial with the other
two at the term of the United Stiit
dietrict oourt.
Alexander, bo it develops, the infor
mation being in this ewe absolutely re
liable, admits that he wan with the boys
just before they robbed the etnge, and
held their horses while they weut to the
stage road aud laid iu wait for the com
ing ot the vehicle in which they carried
the Uuited States mnilH. Of this he tells
himself, and has an explanation some
what of this cbaraoter.
He claims that be was merely trying
to get tbe boys to desist from their un
dertaking, and, being unable to deter
tbem, went along in order to keep traok
of tbem and be able to inform the oflioers
of their acts and see that they were ap
prebended. This he did, aud it was
through Alexander that tbe hoys were
ao qoiokly oaught.
It will probably be shown that Alex
ander and Detective Jones of the Short
Line, were all the time in olear under
standing, and that Jones bad been told
by Alexander of the plaus ot tho boys,
who bad intended to oommit various
ao ts of depredation, aud made known
their intentions to Jones. Jones aud
Alexander therefore knew of the plan to
rob the mails, and it was for this reason
they found all tbe facts so quickly after
the commission of tbe deed, Kant Ore

The sky is full of clouds today,
And idly, to and fro,
Like sheep across the pa tare, thpy
Across the heavens (?o.
1 hear the wind with mercy noise
Around the housetops sweep,
And dream it Is the shepherd hoys
They're driving homo their sheep.
The clouds move faster now ; aud see!
Tho west Is red and gold.
Each sheep Bcoms hastening to he
The first within the fold,
1 watch them hurry on until
The blue is clear aud deep,
And dream that fur beyond the hill
The hepherd8 fold their sheep.
Then In the sky the trembling stars
Like lltle lion ers shine out,
While Ntuht puts up the shadow bars,
And darkness falls about.
I hear the shepherd wlnd'B good night
"Good nlKhtaud happy sleep!"
And dream that in the east, all white,
Slumlier the i louda, the sheep.
