The Stab is the only New York possessing the fullest confidence of the tional Administration and the United Dem¬ ocracy of New York, the political battle ground Jeffersonian of the Republic. Democracy, pure and simple, is good enough for the Star. Single handc ed among the metropolitan press, it lias stood by the men called by the great Democ¬ racy to redeem the government froth twenty-five years of Republican wastefulness and corruption and despotism to the South. For these four years past it has beenunswerv ing in its fidelity the administration of Grov¬ er Cleveland. It is for him now—for Cleve¬ land and Thurman—for four years more of Democratic honesty in our national affairs, and of continued national tranquility and prosperity. For people who like that sort of Democracy he Stab is the paper to read. Tire Stab stands squarely on the National Democratic platform. It believes that tribute exacted from the people in excess the demands of a government economically administered is essentially oppressive and dishonest. The scheme fostered and cham¬ pioned by the Republican part-of making the government a miser, wringing millions an nually from the people and locking them in vaults to serve no purpose but invite waste fulness and dishonesty, it regards as a mon¬ strous crime against tho right of American citizenship. Republican political jugglers may call it ‘protective taxation;” the Stab’s name for it is robbery. Through and through the Stab is a great newspaper. Its tone is i are and wholesome, its news service unexceptionable. Each presents an epitome of what is best knowing of the world’s history of Its stories are told in good, quick, eque Edglish, and mighty interesting ing they are.

The reporter met Mr. Frank Me- Keon and found him to be a clever gentleman, one of the firm of Me Keon & Menken, who own and ope¬ rate a coffee saloon and restaurant. Mr. McKcon stated to the reporter that it was a fact that ho and Mr. Beyle held one-twentieth of ticket No. 53;4G!) which drew tho second capital prize of §10C,300 in the last drawing of the Louisiana State Lot tery. He said that they had pur chased the ticket about one week be fore the drawing and had invested often before. “The priza came in good time, 1 ’ he said, “as I needed tho money badly, as you know I have had plenty of bad luck. You re member that we were burned out last fell, and I had no work and no place to work at. After the fire we had another misfortune, end that was losing $300 in the recent bank failure. I had almost given up, but hearing of the old adage, ‘that the darkest hours were just before day,’ I felt the truth of it keenly when I saw by tho official list of drawing that our ticket drew a valuable prize. After congratulating Mr. McKcon tbo reporter went to see Mr. J. J. Boyle. Ho found Mr. Beyle to ka a bookkeeper at a very popular houeg in this city. The reporter asked was it true that he had been the lucky winner of a valuable prize. He said fortunately it is true. I 4 bave bought once or twice before and must say thatT was a little surprised and glad when my partner Frank McKeon told roe- we had won. J have no idea what I will do with my share. I will use it to tho best advantage possible. Hearing from good authority that Mr. Lyman H. Faith, a prominent attorney, had been another of the fortunate winners, a reporter was sent to his office and found the gen tleman there with head and hands full of work. The reported stated to him that he was told that ho had won a five thousand dollar prize at the last drawing of tho Louisiana Sate Lottery. Mr. Faith laughed and said the fact is that I was only the attorney of the parties that won the prizi, and as the attorney I col¬ lected the amount of the prize and as attorney received my tees. The that won the prizo is not rich, but is able to get along, and tho five thousand dollars will help things lots these hot, dull days and I know that the money will be judiciously invested, some in Alabamy state bonds, and some in real estate. Oh, yes, the money ts c Heeled and safo in bank, and if you desire it, I will show you the bank book with the ontiy, but I will not tell you who the party or parties arc as they do not wish their names known. It is a very unusual tbiDg to employ an attorney to collect prizes from the Louisiana State Lottery, as the com pany delights in paying all prizes without rebate or discount. In this particular case, however, the parties were willing for the sake of secrecy to fee an attorney in the matter, for they know that professional etiquette would prevent bis divulging the name of hie client. The F.ret Xa tional Bank of Mobile collected the prize for Mr. Faith and the Southern Express Company that of Messrs. McKeon and Beyle—Mobile ( Ala.) Register, July 15. Advice to Mothers. M/s.

No Action Taken in the Griffin Melon (i rower’s demand. Atlanta, Aug. 30.—The committee of the Southern and Stemship Association which been in session for two days ded its labors this afternoon and journed. No definite action taken upon the request of the of trade of Griffin for the same rates from western points as are given con, or upon the petition from melon growers of Georgia asking better facilities for handling the on crop of next year. All of matter had to be left open until next meeting of the committee that certain lines outside of tho ciation could be conferred with. As is well known in railroad commercial circles, the Louisville Nashville, the Cincinnati the Nashville, Chattanooga and Louis railroads, at a meeting of association held in New York a time ago, refused to sign the agreement and become members good standing in the These lines are still on the and as ihey will have to be parties anything that is done in with cither the request of the board of trade or of the melon growers, they will have to consulted and a satisfactory ment reached between them and association before answers can given tbo petitioners. As to what will be the result of request made by Griffin, none of members ef the association seem know. With reference to the tion of the melon growers the lar opinion seems to be that their mands will be complied with, that among the other requests a reduction of 33^ per cent, will allowed in the rate, and that in sideration of th : s all freight will er be prepaid or guaranteed by shippers. The association, some of its leading members, that the melon growers hare out an exceedingly strong case, that they should be allowed the lief asked for. DEMOCRATIC COLUMN’S. .Senator henna’-; Opinion of Ike cal Situation. Washington, Aug. 30.— Ivenna, chairman of the Congressional Campaign today said the republicans in Virj nia are going to do their to e pture the state this year, that the democrats are that they shall not. “Of the he continued, “no democrat have any fear. The state will found in the democratic column, usual. Yep, the tariff is the practically the only issue there. everybody knows the tariff, The miners, and there are many them, when they come out of mines after a day’s work sit and talk tariff. And nearly ail them are democrats too. Any publican speaker who goes them asserting that a democrat victory means a lowering of tb^ wages h assaulted with and coi.oq iial remarks, which that his auditors know better. It that way, to a great extent, all the state, but it muet be said the miners have read more about tariff and have given that NUMBER 160 ■WR* more consideration than the major! ty of the other voter* in the state.” What do yon think of the general outlook? : I can answer that question in a very few words. No state that went democratic in 1884 is doubtful this year, except New York. New York in its politics is different from the politics of other states- It is ai ways doubtful, but generally demo cratie. It is, as I said, doubtful this year, but the field will be com pletely worked, and I think that it will cast its vote for Cleveland and Thurman.

Washingtom, Aug. 31.—(Special.) •The House put s provision into the sundry civil bill before it went to the Senate which was intended to lessen the indiscriminate persecution which has long disgraced the enforce ment of the internal revenure laws. It was to the effect that no warrants should be issued for violation of those laws unless they were sworn out upon the knowledge of the informants, and that no cost should be paid by the persons against whom warrants were issued unless the charges were proven. The Senate to-day amended the House provision by leaving the whole matter to the district attor¬ neys- As those officala are paid by fees up to *6,000 annually, they will of course be anxious to have a suf ficient number of cases to insure them that amount of salary or as near it as possible. Thus the bill as the Senate fixed it this afternoon is not likely to afford much relief from the wholesale and petty arrests which are made under the internal revenue laws.
