Here it is again. There’s no use in attempting to keep down graduates of DePauw. The Indianapolis Journal says that one of the applicants for a position on the Indianapolis police force, a few days ago, is graduate of DePauw who stood high in the University foot ball team, and was proficient in the knowledge ac quired in the military department. Mrs. Anna Rogers, of Gosport, well known to many of our citizens, was engaged to be married to a man said to hail from Buffalo, N. Y. The wedding day w T as fixed, invitations were issued, the guests assembled the minister was on hand, the wedding feast was spread, but the groom failed to show up, and he is still missing quantity. The lady is entitled to congratulations on escaping marriage with such a dead beat. The Song Service, at Presbyterian Church, last Sunday night, was listened to by the largest audience we have ever seen in the church, and the program was delightful and finely rendered. The orchestra shows marked improvement, the numbers by the choir were charmingly rendered, and the solos and duets by Mrs. Newhouse, Misses Hammond and Grubb and Messrs. Starr and Paris were sweetly and

artistically sang.

burgesses of Virginia; at another time he was a member of the first little Kentucky parliament itself; and he became a colonel of the frontier militia. He tilled the land, and he chopped the trees himself: he helped build the cabins and stockades with his own hands, wielding the long-handled light-headed frontier ax as skillfully as other frontiersmen did. 11 is main business, writes Theodore Roosevelt in St. Nicholas, was that of surveyor, for his knowledge of the country, and his ability to travel through it in spite of the danger from Indians, created much demand for his services among people who wished to lay off tracts of wild lend for their own future use. But whatever he did. and wherever he went, he had to be slocplessly on the watch for his Indian fix's. When he and his fellows tilled the stump-dotted fields of corn, one or more of the party were always on guard, with rille at the ready, for fear of lurking savages. When he went to the house ot burgesses he carried his long rifle, and traversed roads not a mile of which was free from the danger of Indian attacks. The settlements in the early years depended exclusively upon game for their ment, and Boone was the mightiest of all hunters, so that upon him devolved the tusk of keeping his people supplied. He killed many buffaloes, and pickled the buffalo beef for use in winter. He killed great numbers of black bears and made bacon of them, precisely as if they had been hogs. The common game were deer and elk. At that time no Kentucky hunter would waste a shot on anything so small as a prairie chicken or wild duck; but they sometimes killed geese and swans when they came south in the winter and lit on the

rivers.

democratic policy for the reduction of taxation and theelimination of the fraudulent pretense of protection to workingmen would reduce American laborers to the condition of paupers and destroy the industries of the

United States!

Day after day the announcement conies of voluntary increase ot wages by industrial concerns from one end of the land to the other, especially from those giant industries specially the object of republican protectionfurnaces, forges and rolling mills. The iron industry is the great precursor of improved conditions. Troughout the United States the iron industry is actively at work. The fact that the democratic tariff law reduced the so-called element of protection cuts no figure at all. Wages are increased, activities at iron mines are renewed, lines of transportation are more widely employed, business conditions are

everywhere more favorable.

Where is the apostle of calamity and disaster, that fraudulent preacher of the false doctrine that the United States must put heavy taxes upon the whole body of the people in order to render themselves prosperous; that hired advocate of a few who wish themselves to be the special objects

of governmental regard?

McKinley is running up and down the land, looking for nomination for to the presidency at the hands of the republican party, still preaching calamity and distress as the necessary outcome of democratic tariff' laws, and holding his peace profound-

Tha Horrible 31cthoil of Producing Human Freaks. There are many curious trades in the world, but the most strange must surely be the “artificial manufacture of wild men." Yet a well-known English doctor in China lias just certified from his own personal experience that this art is regularly practiced in the flowery

kingdom.

First, says the Raltimore American, a youth is kidnaped, then bit by bit he is flayed alive, and the skin of a dog or bear grafted piece by piece upon him. His vocal chords are next destroyed by the action of charcoal to make him dumb; and the double purpose of causing “etiolation" of the skin and utter degradation of the mental faculties is effected by keeping him immured in a perfectly dark hole for a number of years. In fact, by treating him like a brute for a sufficiently long time he is made into one. At lust he is exhibited to the entirely credulous Chinese as a wild man of the woods, and his possessors reap a rich

harvest.

The priests, it seems, are adepts at the art. When a kidnaper, however, is caught by the people he is torn to pieces, and when the authorities get him they torture him and promptly behead him. Sticli is life under tho rule of the Son of Heaven.

LOST HER POODLE.

Sh» Tied Him to a Trunk and Ha Went aa llaggagc. It is sometimes better to permit public servants to have their own way than to go through life with a theory that every such person is a public enemy. The Chicago News tells a story of a young woman wiio entered a railway train with a poodle clasped tenderly in her arms. “Madam,” said the conductor, as he punched her ticket, “I am very sorry, but you can’t have 3’our dog in this car. It’s against the rules." “I shall hold him in my lap all the way," she replied, “and he will not disturb atQouo." “That makes no difference,” said the conductor. “I couldn’t allow my owu dog here. Doe’s must ride in the baggage car. I’ll fasten him all right for

you—”

“Don’t vou touch my dog. sir!” said the young woman, excitedly. “I will trust him to no one!” And, with indignant tread, she marched to the baggage car, tied her dog and returned. About fifty miles further on, when the conductor came along again, she asked him: “Will you tell mo if my dog is all

right?”

“I am very sorry,” said the conductor, politely; "but you tied him to a trunk and lie was thrown off with it at tho last station.”

The Kentucky Democracy. Albany Times-Union. We have read attentively the various comments on the action of the Democratic state convention in Kentucky, and cannot find in them, or in the full report of the convention’s porceedings, any warrant for the assertion that the Kentucky Democracy have pronounced against silver. The resolutions adopted do not mention either gold or silver, but merely endorse the administration of President Cleveland, as every Democratic state convention is expected to do as a matter of course, and they “affirm without qualification the principles declared by the national Democratic platform of 1892.” The declaration in that platfrom was as follows: We hold to the use of both gold and silver as the standard money of the country, without discrimination against either metal or charge for mintage, but dollar unit ot coinage of both metals must beot equal intrinsic and exchangeable value, or be adjusted through international agreement, of by such safeguards of legislation as shall insure the maintenance of the parity of both metals and the equal power of every dollar at all times in the markets and the payment of debts; and wo demand that all paper currency shall be kept at par with and redeemable in such

coin.

That was clearly a declaration in favor of bimetallism, and the Kentucky convention has re affirmed it. Moreover, it has nominated a pronounced advocate of free silver coinage fyr governor.. The endorsement of tho administration was necessary to preserve the harmony of the party, and could not have been omitted without provoking a disastrous rupture. The nomination of Mr. Hardin for governor is the best possible evidence that in Kentucky a man may advocate free coinage and still be honored and supported by the Democracy. The convention ha« determined in the most convincing way that opinions in regard to coinage are not to be treated as test of party fealty. A man may be either a monometallist or a bimetallist, and still be a Democrat in good standing.
