Senator Kyle of South Dakota, is dead It is too bad that the prosperity managers should have let Perry Heath’s bank go busted. A recent issue of the Chicago Record-Herald says: Promotons of the Toledo and Chicago Railroad Company, who propose to build a line from Streator to Toledo, a distance of 350 miles, held a meeting yesterday, when it was announced that all the right of way had been acquired. Engineer R. A. Hamilton stated that the line would touch Rensselaer, Rochester, Warsaw, Wawasee and Ligioner and would thence parallel the Lake Shore into Toledo. Towns along the line have voted subsidies varying from $20,000 to SOO,OOOO, and building will begin within sixtv days. There has been some confusion among township trustees regarding the publication of annual reports under amended sections 6 and 8 of the township reform law. I ncler the law as it now stands the annual settlement with the township advisory board is made on the first Tuesday after the first Monday in January, instead of 'September, as formerly. The law requires that the “trustee shall cause to be published, by one insertion in two leading newspapers rof his county, each representing one of the two political parties casting the highest number of votes at the last proceeding general election, an abstract of his said report, which abstract shall contain the total of receipts and expenditures and balances or deficits jin each fund, also the rate of tax levy made for each of said funds -for the ensuing year.” In reply to inquiry regarding • this matter Attorney-General Taylor says the change in ;tiement was made “so that the respects will correspond with the estimate year, the appropriation year and the expenditure year. Heretofore the reports have been made at odd times in September, and many trustees refused to publish any part of the report and some published all the report in detail. In order that there might be uniformity and at the same time a publication, this law was passed.”

Injpublishing the list of persons whom the tax ferrets have found had omitted to list all of their property for taxation, The Democrat does not wish it understood that the publication is made for the purpose of holding up such persons to scorn or ridicule, or to further humiliate them. Many, and perhaps all of these may have omitted to list this property through over-sight or unintentional neglect. Many of the cases are guardian and administrator causes, a Iministercd by parties who hail hail little experience in transacting business, and are. therefore, in a great measure excusable. No professional taxdodger (if there are such) has yet been caught for anything so far ns the record shows, but The Democrat is a newspaper, and whenever in this investigation—which should be a public matter - any man’s name is placed on record as' having been found delinquent, his name end the amount of the delinquency will be published in this paper, no matter if his name happens to bo Mark Hanna «or Bill Smith. This is a matter

in which the public is interested and they expect their county seat paper to keep them posted on matters of public interest. The past record of The Democrat is a sufficient guarantee that its readers may expect the fullest publicity regarding this tax investigation so far as it is disclosed by the public records. We don’t believe in any star chamber investigation, and if you read The Democrat you will know all that is going on in the matter as shown by the county records.

WILL ALWAYS LIVE.

Lafayette Journal: It is just possible the future now and then looks dark to that Democrat who proceeds on the theory that there is no success outside the occupancy office. It is just possible some of them look about them and, finding most states in the controT of the Republicans, and all the federal offices in that same holding, come to the conclusion that there is nothing worth while in adhering to the old organization. But when they t urn to look where they must go if they leave Demwcraey. they strip, drop a sigh for what might have been, and conclude to remain. They can not leave that old army of conservatism—the force which has been the safeguard of the republic through all the storms of the past, and (lie party which must keep the government free from the contamination of imperialism on the one hand, and anarchy on the ,other. _ There is an unmeasured allegiance in Democrats to the party of their conviction. For it is not the party of their choice so much as the party to which they belong because they believe in it. They are not hired men, hungry for fees, and suffering for spoils. They are the freemen who want their nation to be free. There are plenty of instances of it. Here is Hon. John Ross, lately returned from a summer journeying, and as modest in his coming as in all the rest of his walks of life. Last year he accepted the nomination for congressman on the Democratic ticket, and went into the race with FIVE THOUSAND MAJORITY against him. Do any of you happen to appreciate what five thousand majority in an Indiana congressional district means? It is absolute impossibility. It is the hope of a stone to float, of mountain to fly, of a seraph to find congeial souls in the city government of Philadelphia. And yet Mr. Ross entered that campaign. He gave of his time—and he is a merchant whose time is valuable. He gave of his effort; and yet he is a man of judgment, and knew the power of the enemy he challenged. For weeks he absented himself from home, attending meetings, telling the truth to thousands, addressing many a meeting, going up and down one of the big districts. And at the end, when he had cut down that majority some hundreds, made no complaint. It costs money. It costs time. It is an expense of that vanity which all men have in some degree. But he was loyal to the nomination liecause he was loyal to the principles of Democracy and nothing could turn him aside. That is the view that is taken by the millions who follow the banner of Jackson, of Jefferson, of Tilden, and of Hendricks and Gray. They believe they are right, and do not have to be hired to remain true. That kind of an organization can never be crushed. It lives and is formidable because it is honest. It stands for all that is sound and safe and sensible in politics. It | is the great body of the common , people who have to be reckoned ' with, and who give the final judg- : ment of history on the ephemeral deeds of the transient politicians ,of every name. Democracy will remain, and will triumph, because it is the conservative common sense of the nation, And the fair men of all parties respect the loyal legions of Democracy, whether they vote with them, or not,

Everybody reads The Democrat Th* Sam* Old Story. J. A. Kelly relates an experience similar to that which has happened in almost every neighborhood hi the the United States and has been told and re-told by thousands of others. He says: "Last summer 1 had an attack of dysentery and purchased a bottle of Chamberlain’s Colic, Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy, which I used according to directions and with entirely satisfactory results. The trouble was controlled much quicker than former attacks when I used other remedies." Mr. Kelly is a well known citizen of Anderson, N. C. For sal* by Long.

AN EXPERT ACCOUNTANT.

Figuraa Out Tima Whan Women Will Entirely Displace Man. An expert accountant in government employ and & representative in congress were discussing in one of the uptown hotels this morning the proportion of female employes in the executive departments in Washington. The accountant stated that at the rate of the present increase of female employes the date when they would entirely displace the men could easily be figured, and, furthermore, that the result would not be merely one obtainable on paper, but would prove an actuality if the ratio of increase was to be maintained. While it is true that such a reversal of things would seem odd, the real conclusion, like the result of a sum in mathematics, would be inevitable if the increase grows proportionately as the years advance. Fortunately forthe men,he said, the date was somewhat remote, but, as figures are supposed not to err, it was sure if conditions remained unchanged. The representative said that he doubted the accuracy of the accountant’s conclusion. “I will prove it to you,” said the accountant. “In 1862 Salmon P. Chase, then secretary of thetreasury,appointed six women clerks in the office of the registrar of the treasury, under Francis E. Spinner. In the 31 years following up to 1893 there were appointed 5,63? woman clerks, and during the past eight years, of the 3,000 appointees 2,000 have been women, making a total of 7,637 woman employes out of a total force of about 21,000, exclusive of the census employes, of whom the majority are women. In 39 years, therefore, the force of ladies has increased from six to one-third of the total of all employes. “Proceeding with these figures as a basis, and they are accurate, it is easy to figure the date when the last man will retire in favor of the last woman. “The question becomes simply one of percentages. In 1861 all of the executive employes were men. In 1893, of the total number, 17,301, there were 5,637 females, or a percentage of 32|. If the percentage of increase in 31 years is nearly 33 percent., at the same ratio in 67 years it will have increased to 100 per cent., and the last man salutes the last woman in 1960, and that year, if these calculations are realized, will be a memorable one in the history of the rise and fall of the male government clerk.”

SMALLPOX GERMS.

Biflkultiw of Bacteriologists in Proving Mlcroblc Origin at Disease. It has always seemed odd, says The Hospital, thatthe bacteriologist has found it easier to prove the microbe origin, and thus, presumedly, the infective nature of a series of diseases which used not to be considered infectious at all, than to lay his hands upon the living germs, which, as we cannot hesitate to believe, must be the causes of the various eruptive fevers. Thus, to take extreme examples, while tuberculosis was dragged, into the category of the infections on the strength of the discovery of the bacillus tuberculosis, smallpox, the very type of an infectious disorder, declined to display the germ on which its infectivity depended. Sometime ago Dr. Monckton Copeman discovered a microbe in vaccinia, but even he failed to cultivate it, so that its claims to be regarded as the cause of the disease re-, mained somewhat uncertain. Now two papers on the subject are published simultaneously, one by Dr. Copeman and the other by Dr. M. I'unck, of Brussels? Dr. 'Copeman says that at last, by inclosing a small quantity of beef4»roth inoculated with a minute trace of vaccine lymph, free from extraneous microbes, in capsules, and placing these capsules with the peritoneal cavity of rabbits and dogs, he has been able to obtain a culture, numerous zooglea masses being visible, made up of bodies resembling spores. “Apparently they represent the resting stage of the specific microbe.” , Dr. Funck takes quite another line. He holds that vaccinia is not a microbic disease, but is caused by a protozoon, easily found in all vaccine; that the inoculation of this protozoon in a sterile emulsion reproduces in susceptible animals all the classical symptoms of vaccinia, and renders them refractory to subsequent inoculations with vaccine; that the variolous pustule contains a protozoon morphologically similar to thatin the vaccine, and from these facts he argues that vaccinia is but an attenuated form of variola, which, of course, is what is already pretty widely accepted, although on other grounds.

A SICK CANARY.

Quickly Cured by a Small Dote of Belladonna. Here is a story for bird levers. There had been diphtheria in the family; one child had had the disease, and the house mistress was congratulating herself that no one was the worse for it but the child who had taken the disease in the first place, when she noticed that one small member of the household seemed out of sorts. It wasthecanary. Thepoor little fellow drooped his head, half closed his eyes, and would not sing a note. If he made a sound at all it was a harsh, rasping noise, and he seemed in distress. He would grasp the bars of his cage with his bill and pull and pull upon them as if he were trying to pull them out “Poor little fellow!” said the canary’s mistress, after watching him for a time. “He certainly is ill, and 1 believe he has the diphtheria.” Thereupon making up her mind that she had discovered the trouble, she decided to apply remedies. She had in the house a preparation of bella donna that had been given to the sick child. She dropped a little of this into the water dish in the bird’s cage. The effect was almost immediate. In an hour the little fellow had brightened up, and in an hour and a half he was singing gayly as usual. Now, the writer of this little story is not a bird expert, and the miraculous effects of the medicifie may seem a little startling, but that is the story exactly as it came from the owner of the bird, a woman whose veracity is not to be doubted—N. Y. Times.

How to Talk to a Fool.

A bright mind is quick to comprehend what is .-aid by another, but a dull and sluggish mi nd demands more effort and keener speech before it catches the full force of another’s words. Hence the saying that there is most need of wit in talking to a fool. We must remember this as we talk with others, for not all whom we meet have bright nlinds; while, unfortunately, many of us have Dot enough wit to meet the fool standard.—B. S. Tinies.
