and in particular the failure et the Star
Reute prosecution has been submitted.
It declares that " the Star Reuto frauds
were undoubted and enormous. Their
prosecution was net successful. This
want of success seems te us te be ascrl ascrl
bablenet te any want of earnestness,
sincerity or ability en the part of the
prosecution, but rather te the magnitude
et the interests involved and te the
deficiencies In the criminal statute of the
United States." This Is a model
euphemism. Everyone at all conversant
with political auairs in this country
understands that the failure et these
prosecutions occurred because of the
fact that they were aimed at officials
who steed high in the councils of the
Republican party.

These who can see cause of deult

will be troubled te say upeu what they
base their distrust of Democratic states
where everything Is serene and where
the character of the two governors is a
positive guarantee that no Republican
trickery will swindle the Democratic
majority. Ner will there be any opportu
nity for the customary dirty work in the
Southern states which have outgrown
their swaddling clothes, and wheie the
conceded Democratic majorities will
have expression in the election returns,
beyond a peradventure.

It is declared that $250,000 was raised

This raise of money has raised an opposi

Jlew Us T Uaptarea la a Vex Trap and
tbe Aiaenar in Vfnicn 11 VTm
Finally Overpowered.
Lewis Williams, who Uvea in an Isolat
ed spot in the Preston mountains, a few
miles from Stoekport, Pa,, having set a
trap te capture a fox, which he had rea
son te believe was carrying away his
chlokecs, went out Wednesday morning
te leek at it, and found it gene. The trap
had been chained te a small itake in the
ground, and this had been pulled up and
was mlsatac with the tran and chain. On
his wav home from a search for tbe ani
mal. Mr. Williams saw a Heek of crews In
a pieee of weeds a quarter 01 a mue or se
from his house. They were eawlng
furiously and oirellng around above the
tree tops in one particular spot. Mr.
Williams proceeded thither and bad Just
entercd the edge ei the weeds when he
heard the rattling et a ehaln ; and slmul
tanceusly an enormous bird strutted out
from behind a tree, dragging the missing
trap, chain and stake. Tbe jaws of the
trap wcre fastened te ene leg et the bird,
whlsh was a bald eagle et the laraest
stze.
The eac'e flew from the Ground and was
rising with difficulty toward the top of a
tall dead tree. Williams fired at It,
maiming one of its wings, and it fell te
the ground. Thinking te capture the
bird allve. Williams approaehed It, but in
splte of its crippled wing and the burden
of the trap en iu lug, the bird flew at him
2nd sttaeked him with such fury that he
turned and lied from the weeds.
Hurrying back home, Williams, with
out saying anything te ethers, procured a
stout repe and a large feed-bag. On his
way back te the weeds he noticed that
the crew;, whieh had attracted his atten
tien te the spot in tbe first place, were
hovering ever the place where he had left
the eagle, and from their peculiar cries
and irantie notions he Inferred that some
thing unusnal had oceurred during his
absence. Tbe crews, knowing by the
wonderful lnstlnet they possess that tbe
esgle was wounded, and hating as they
de all large Dims, naa swoepea aewn en
tbe eagle and attaoked It In its crippled
condition. This attack had been dlsas
trens te the orews, for when Williams
again reached the spot there lay dead near
the enraged eagle, and several ethers were
dragging themselves away eat of its
reach, uttering the sharp, guttural cry
which they only utter when wounded or
In trouble.
The eagle no sooner saw Williams ap
proaching again ihan it rushed at him.
Williams bad made a noose in ene end of
the repe he carried, and when the eagle
dew at him he waited until it was almost
npen him, and then quickly threw the
noeso ever the bird's head and It slipped
down around the wings, no then threw
the baz ever the bird. Aa Williams steed
with his arms arennd the great body et
the bird, ondeaveringto secure the mouth
of the bag nieund its legs, the eagle sud
denly sprang against him, and striking
bim in the stemacn witn its one rrce taien,
with one fierce downward streke, ripped
the clothing from him, and tore the skin
from the llesh in a long strip clear te the
waist.
Williams quickly released the bird, and
made haste te reach his house, supposing
that he was terribly injured. Twe men who
were thrashing bnekwheat for him were
then informed of the presence of the eagle
Ip the weeds, and they went te the spot
and succeeded in overpowering it. Tbe
eagle will measure at least eight feet from
tip te tip of its winge, and stauas nearly
four feet high. These birds stilt nest in
in the wild and rocky elevations In that
region.

A Stirring Appeal.
Ex Senater Wadleigh, of New Hamp
shire, a life long Republican, makes this
earnest appeal te the business men of tbe
ceuntrv :
I ask the business men of this country if
the? exnoet that when political lire has
been poisoned by dishonest doctrines the
virus wilt net contaminate all business and
official clreles ? Will net your servants,
yenr clerks, your cashiers, your brokers,
apply te your business tbe same rule that
Mr. Blaine applied te the business of the
people, whose sarvant he was ? Will net
yenr city and town officers, your tax
assessors, and custom house efflc'ala aet
en tbe same rule ? And will net the rising
tlde of dishonesty sweep through tbe
oeutts of justice and Infeet your juries
and finally your judpes ? Even new the
chieftains of the Republicans tallt of
successful bribery as though it were a
virtue instead of a orime. Political
dishonesty is the most threatening peril
te our institutions. Mr. Blaine is its
representative. Te defeat him will oheck
it and show the ambitions young men who
are being oerruptcd by the exampla that
after all honesty is the best poliey, and
that cunning aud unprincipled smartness
cannot always be sure of success.
