J. Thompson, of Defiance, Ohio, says, a special dis I sata! fros: Toledo, ww horsanhippea last Wednesday morning by Cora ?Prate?, a colored girl.

It appears that Senator TillmaL lost' bia pocketbook while traveling through Illinois and ia it were numerous rail road passes. When questioned as to his insincerity in using passes, ho is reported to have said: "How can I help aocepticg them Y They stick them at me till aatur.*.ily I have to take then?.. They don't influence my voto or tr lk. It is different down in our coun : ry from what it is up hero. You have cot heard of anybody being bought -with thousand-dollar bills down oui way. have you?"' There ire several good reasons why Senator Tillman especially should not use passes, and the flimsy excuse given by him sounds very strange from a man of his mental oharaoter, who is always looking out for his own inter est, and we are inclined to doubt that he made such a weak czouse as that. He is strong enough and sharp enough to get up a much better reason than that given, though even he eannot get around tho faot that ho is violating a law of thf State when he uses passes. He and all other officers in the State are expressly forbidden to accept or uso passes, and they are Hablo to for feit their offices if tho proper steps are taken against them in case they do. It is sometimes held that this law can not apply to an official when he is out of the State, and striotly, this may bo true, but the spirit of the law is ?pi^fia^.0 QBe ?t passes at any time by an oficia!, and Senator Tillman is the last of all officers of thc State who should even violate the spirit of I the law. He rose to power principally through making unsupported charges and insinuations against former officers, and one of the chief of his in sinuations was that they had been ''bamboozled and debauched" by tho use of railroad passes. That was, in faot, the principal note of his cam paign. If thopn gentlemen oould be "bamboozled and debauched" by rail road passes, surely Senator Tillman has not the assurance to say that he is superior to them in honesty and that he is superior to influences that they suooumbed to. Ho has tho gall to do almost anything, but we do not think he would attompt to hold any thing like that. We do not think much of a states man who would be influenced by a pass to do wrong, but Senator Tillman ought to be consistent and not do that whioh so freely charged was wrong in others doing. As a matter of fact, Senator Tillman aooepted the now cel ebrated pass No 1 of the Southern Railway soon after he become Gover nor, and he has been accepting them ever since, notwithstanding the law of ; the State expressly prohibits him from doing so. And while he has had the reputation of being against corpora tions upon any and all occasions, has he really been so severe against them, even when right, as he formerly was? We have heard very little from him along that line in reeent times. The railroads are not near so bad as they were, it seems. Has Sonator Til lman actually been "debauched and bam boozled" by the railroads of the country? It really might look .t way, but if it does Senator Tillman is responsible for it, and nobody else. Senator Tillman is frequently oalled upon to lecture in Northern States on the negro question, and he ?B a man who oan do much good in speaking the truth on this subject, with whioh he is quite familiar, but the admitted fact that he is using railroad passes, when he is presumably fighting corpo rations to the bitter end, will make people doubt bia sincerity in that mat ter, and if they doubt him in ono in stance they will in all others, and ho will do the South, for which he pre sumably speaks, infinitely more harm than good. It was aa unfortunate circumstance for the people he is sup posed to represent that this incident should have ocourred, but no doubt there are many people who will glee fully rejoice in the faot that the old saying is again proven true, and that is that "chickens will oome home to roost." It is bad on Senator Tillman personally, but he fell in a pit of his own digging.-Columbia Record. Battery Is Ready. New York, Aug. 1.-Thomas A. Edison, when questioned about the new storage battery whioh the public has been expeeting for over a year, said: "Tho popular impression seems to be that my new storage battery waa more or less a possibility, but that it began and ended there. - "That is not so-one of jem has been in operation for the last three weeks in one of Altaian's delivery wagons, and ie doing all that I expect ed, aud claimed for lt. "There is a great deal to be said for the new battery, and all in its favor. It will average mare than a third greater mileage for half the weight than will the old lead battery. It has an additional advantage, inasmuch as it oan be rooharged at a much fastor rate than the old battery. As much electricity as will send tho forty miles oan be put in it in less than an hour.
