MONDAY, OCTOBER 30. 1893.

TETKSE are a good many Democrats left in this part of the the country bnt Cleveland Democrats are scarce.

Si. LOOIS Globe-Democrat: The delay in the confirmation of Hornblower indicstes that hie contribution to the Democratic campaign fund must have been lees thim 850,000, to say the leiist.

THE assassination of Carter H. Harrison by an irresponsible crank calls for steps to prevent such dangerous characters to run at Urge. Threatenings of slaughter should be sufficient to confine such a man in the inssDe asylum until a care is pronounced. This would include about fifty per cent, of the disappointed offine seekers in the-countrv.

THE acquittal of J.imes C. Bruvn, at Lebanon, charged *ith the murder of C. S. Wesner, will meet with tha approval of all who have read the published evidence. That he committed the act in self defense was proven not only by his own evidence but by the testimony of other credible witnesses. As Judge Stevenson said in his charge to the jury, the Creator has given to every creature the right of self defense and courts and juries cannot take that right from them.

FOB a long time the Frankfort Crescent kept standing at the head of its columce the civil service plank of the Democratic platform. But the place that once knew this piece of timber now knows it no more. Like physic its civil service pretens'ons have been thrown to the dogs, and yesterday it copied from the St. Louis Republic this spoils morsel:

If Grover Cleveland is tor binding up all wounds be will show his Abraham Lincoln spirit by cutting" loose on the offiets. For the rest of this eventful year let him give the backbone a vacation and work the hands of dispensation eo fast that the right will not know what the left doeth.

The Crescent approves the above by saying that there is not a Democrat in ull the land that will not give a hearty endorsement to this suggestion.

WHILE the Frankfort Crescent and other Democratic papers of small calibre are clamoring for ,an income tax the large and influential papers like the New York Sun are most bitterly opposed to this most hateful of all species of taxation. The Sun

BttackB

the proposition

in the following vigorous fashion: Once only In the hlstoty of the United Stales hns the federal government found it necessary to impose and attempt to collect an .Income tux.

That was under the stress of civil war. The tax was forced by the enormous expenditures ot a government engaged In military and naval operations on a gigantic scale. The Income tax was a war measure, a 'last resort, a revenue expedient obnoxious In itself, but justified by the necessity that knows no choice.'

A Democratic Administration has now been in jxwer for a little more than six mouths six months of profound peace.

Mas Deuocratlc rule for six months brought the country to a condition .equivalent to that resulting from the stress of war, with half the country in arms to cooquer the other half? Has Democratic rule proved such a misfortune that resort is necessary for the second time in our national experience to the calamity tax. the extreme expedient and last effort of the taxing power?

The Sun propounds some posers for its Democratic brethren but which Republicans can find a ready answer in two words: "IT HAS." Democratic rule has proved great misfortuoe.

CftAWFORDSvrLijE, allured with the paternal idea that the city should own and operate an electric light plant of Its own, let a contract for 435,000, raising It through some legerde main of its council in a few months to ISO,000, thus Irjrthenlug the tax-payers with a debt which will oppress them for yearn. Jobbers skinned that Cat to the tall. The citizens of Frankfort can thank themselves that they were sensible enough to vote this steal down.— Frankfort Crc*ccnt.\

The Crescent is in possession of a good deal of misinformation concerning our electric light plant. The bonded indebtedness of the plant is 355,000, the interest on whioh is 5 per cent. The running expenses are 3560 per month. This added to the interest makes a total of $9,470 in the way of annual expenditures. The revenue derived from commercial lighting averages $600 per month, amounting to €7,200. The city has 142 street lights or one at every street oroesing in town. Instead of costing the city $80 per light, as it does in Frankfort, it costs less than halt of 880. By an investment of 310,000 or $12,000 additional a sufficient amount of commercial or private lighting could be scoured to pay for the street lighting entirely. If

Frankfort had 142 street lights it would cost the tax-payers of that city 311,350, while in Crawfordsville that number of street lights cost lesB than half of this •nm. And besides this Crawfordsville is the best lighted town to day in the

United States without any exception.

NOKIHEKN INSECTS.

Animal and Vegetable Life Found Cp Near the Fol«. It is a matter of surprise to all who, for the first time, have any experience in high northern latitudes, to note the great abundance of insect life in Alaska. The writer of this paragraph was especially interested in noting the large amount of larvio and other low conditions of animal life which was carried down from the melting glacicrs into the rivers and streams which flowed from them. It is to this that we have to attribute the great abundance of the higher forms of animal life which prevails. Fish especially are in such quantity near the coast.attracted by this abundance, that it soems like repeating the tales of Baron Munchausen to the listener. The young son of the writer, who was with him in this expedition, was, xvith a couple of Indians in a boat, able to drive salmon into narrow creeks in such abundance that the boat could be driven against the fish in their endeavors to escape. They could have been dragged up in shoals by any strong and ordinary net. In the earlier history of Colorado very much stress was laid on the fact that Fremont saw a bee on one of the high elevations while crossing the Rocky mountains. Lieut. Peary, in his recent expeditions to Xorth Greenland, found a bumble bee on the north coast of Greenland—the highest point of land yet reached by a human being so far as known. This explorer states that not only bees but other insects abound as soon as the spring fairly opens. Flowers of many kinds are particularly beautiful and abundant, affording a good chance for honey and pollen-collecting insects to lay up rich stores in advance of their long arctic winters.

A PUZZLE IN PRONUNCIATION.

Set Before a Teachers' Institute In Vermont and Left Unsolved. The following rather curious piece of composition was recently placed upon the blackboard at a teachers' institute in Vermont and a prize of a Webster's dictionary ofEered to any person who could read it and pronounce every word correctly. The book was not carried off, as twelve was the lowest number of mistakes in pronunciation made: "A sacrilegious son of Belial who ha.s suffered from bronchitis, having exhausted his finances, in order to make good the deficit resolved to ally himself to a comcly. lenient and docile young lady of the Malay or Caucasian race. lie accordingly- purchased a calliope and coral necklace of a chameleon hue, and, securing a suite of rooms at a principal hotel, he engaged the head waiter as his coadjutor. He then dispatched a letter of the most unexceptional caligraphy extant, inviting the young lady to a matinee. She revolted at the idea: refused to consider herself sacrificable to his desires, and sent a polite note of refusal, on receiving which he procured a carbine and bowie knife, said that he would not now forge fetters hymeneal with the queen, went to an isolated spot, severed his. jugular vein and discharged the contents of the carbine into his abdomen. The debris were removed by the coroner."

The mistakes in pronunciation were made on the following words: Sacrilegious, Belial, bronchitis, exhausted, finances, deficit, comely, lenient, docile, Malay, calliope, chameleon, suite, coadjutor, caligraphy, matinee, sacrificable, carbine, hymeneal, isolated, jugular and debris.

The AUd Dog.

There are a great many mistakes current as to the nature and symptoms of hydrophobia. It does not occur most frequently in the summer, but in the spring, nor has the rabid dog, as rule, a dread of water, nor does he refuse to drink. On the contrary, even after the disease is fully established, the mad dog often tries his best to drink, sometimes plunging his nose deeply under water in bis effort to swallow, but is unable to do so on account of spasms which affect his throat. Itabies is a disease the course and symptoms of which are as well known as any other. The first symptoms are a restlessness and uneasiness on the part of the dog then he begins to have hallucinations he will run to a particular spot as though he saw some one there he will turn his head and snap and bark in one direction at an invisible enemy. A well-marked symptom is his tendency to gnaw and swallow hard objects, bits of wood, stones and such like. But the bark of a rabid dog is a thing which once heard can never be forgotten it is impossible to mistake it, and if the dog gives no other symptom than a hoarse, muffled bark, followed by three or four gurgling efforts from the bottom of his throat, there can be no uncertainty after that.

Deafness Cannot be Cured by local applications, as they cannot reach the diseased portion of the ear. There is only one way to cure Deafness, and that is by constitutional remedies. Deafness Is caused by an inflamed condition ot the mucous lining of the Eustachian Tube. When this tube" gets inflamed you have a rumbling sound or imperfect hearing, and when it is entirely closed deafuess is the result, and unless the inflammation can be taken out and this tube restored to its normal condition, hearing will be destroyed forever nine cases out of ten are caused by catarrh, which is nothing but an inflamed condition of the mucous surfaces.

We will give One Hundred Dollars for any case of Deafness (caused by catarrh) that cannot te cured by Hall's Catarrh Cure. Send for circulars, lree.

Conjugal Wisdom.

"Plie who ne'er answirs till lier husband cools, Or, if she rules ^hlm, never shows she rules"— is a type of wife happily bacoming common in these days when women '.may have good health, cheerful dispositions, strong nerves and clear minds, simply through the use of Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription. Before the reputation and use of this remedy became world-wide irritable, cross, nervous, debilitated women, suffering with displacements, hysteria, and every female disease, were the rule rather than tho exception. Tho "Favorite Prescription" has proven to be the key to a long and happy lite—the key which effectually locks out that old array of uterine disorders, disorders, periodical pains, weak back, prolapsus, inflammation, ulceration, nervous exhaustion and (general debility.
