Who said this is not a ■Christian nation ? IP The day the Pike County Fair .opened a wreck oceured on the Air tine railroad, from which eight leaths have resulted. ^ It is worthy of note that in the hot _l between the Blaine and Harou factions all the assaults seem to ne from the Harrison side. ____.. John Young Bbown is now goy- ' of Kentucky. Ex-Governor ckneris said to have retired0 with .he respect of all reasonable corncrackers. Secretary Foster is running through even his remnants, having now but $2,000,000 in trade-dollar ]bars and $18,000,000 in tarnished subsidiary. ». ■ A few remarks from Mr. MeKinley on the Shoddy Dollar’s worth might explain how it is that a cheap coat ‘makes a cheap man—or a cheap sheep, at any rate. The Harrison administration was dead against the under dog in Chili, as a matter of course, but it made a lamentable mistake in trying to pick I out the under dog. .Governor Boies of Iowa will bo \ elected on the Democratic platform 'because he stands on and for the platform. There is no shirking of issues among Iowa Democrats.

I .Whin Secretary Foster says that lie can pay the 4)4 per cents that arc not extended he kuows that he can only set the money by robbing funds dedicated to other purposes. The Iowa Republicans insist that Jthey will carry their State this time ^ecause they are “scared.” This, il , .true, will be a reversal of the old and [^reliable rule that a man or party once r scared is halt whipped. .The great ‘American public likes free trade sugar so well that duriug the three months from April 1st to July 1st it took 382,403,821 more Do Mb.' McKinlet, ex-Speaker Reed and Benjamin Harrison know that foreign cement is being used in the new public buildings? What is /to become of our booby industries if Unde Samuel himself patronizes foreign paupers ? “If a candidate for the Presidency is required I may be prevailed upon jto accept the nomination,” savisolator Cullom with most engaging coyness. We are convinced that Senator rjUullom is as chaste a statesman as ever-offered his modesty for rape. 4. current paragraph states that the Czar of Russia wears a full beard for fear that the barber may be hired tp cut his throat. This is laughable. jThe Czars have always worn full jbeards since the Greek Church was established. It is a tenet of that >dy. Typhoons and cyclones, railway collisions and mine disasters, earthquakes and floods, fires and fevers, ■are busy removing men from the | world, but there is yet no scarcity of I people. In fact, there are, in many f places, too many. Cupid reigns, and the race still lives. Miss Frances E. Willard, the great female temperance agitator, =Kays that tight lacing has killed more Bple than whiskey.

Our anuual liquor bill would send & Bible to every inhabitant of the globe. Intoxicating liquors in called by the shame-water.” Tobacco blights a ers, wit, muscle, conscience lions are legislating agaiust it. many with all her smoke, says, “No tobacco in the schools.” It spoils their brains aud makes them too small for soldiers. Knock at the door of the great military institu tions of France: “No tobacco” is the response. Try West; Point and Annapolis: “Drop that cigarette” is the word. Business life demands flue brain, steady nerve, firm conscience. Watch the boys. See one sixteen years in age, but twelve in size, twenty in sin, ajpd ho sip.jgjjtKs, probably chews and drinks. ‘‘Babes of seven and eight, are at it. The vice increases. Tobacco is murderiug many a lad. Where they do not fairly kill, cigaretts are the devil’s kindling wood. They start a craving for stimulants that liquor is quickest to meet. And why is it that “fancy pictures go with them as prizes, unless licentiousness comes next ? But can’t a. mau be a Christian and smoke? I suppose so, but he’d be cleauer, more consistent, more Christlike without it. By the time tobacco has killed a few more generals like Graut, and a few more Emperors like Frederick the noble, and a few more business meu and bright boys, a smart boy may get it through his head that it does uot pay. And not till the smart boys quit, will the poor and dull let it alone. The highest style of man does not smoke, will uot submit to its salary, nor be responsible for the example. Light wines—nothing so treacherous: They inflame the brain like fire, while melting on the palate like ice. All inhabitants of light wine countries are quarrelsome.—Bulwer

It is too soon to split up the mourners bench into kindling wood when a christain’s cigars cost more than his church subscriptions.—Rams Horn. *** Some one suggests that if the roofs of the buildings of a few equat es in each city and in many towns could be lifted off some nights and fathers aud mothers, ministers, teachers and ebristgita people generally, see what is going on iu saloons and gambling rooms and other wicked resorts, there would bo a new style of christain work. .? lleneonsuess. The awful crimo of Mrs. Emma Gaines, who beat her adopted child to death recently, and which crime was referred to in The Democrat last week, is depicted in the following from the Viuconnes Commercial: Much of the evidence adduced in tlie Corner’ji investigation is of a very damaging nature against Mrs. Gaines. Thirteen witnesses wero examined. Robert. M. Reeves, having been duty sworn, testified as follows : Ques. * Did you witness the Corofho boy kuowu »• Gaines, Satur

This evidence, as lo the marks and t violence., was corroborated by several . others. ' 4RI Mary J. Caughran, who lives near ' the home of Mr. and Mrs. Gaines, testified in substance as follows: *•1 live within fifty yards of Mr. , and Mrs. Gaines. I knew when they , adopted the child, it was then au ’healthy a child as I ever saw. Saw it frequently after that. Last June she brought the child to my house. It muttered something, whereupon i she slapped it iu the mouth with the . back of her hand, cuttiug its lips and . making it Weed. One day she was passing my house with the child—my husband aud I were in the yard. The child stopped at the fence, and she went back aud knocked it down. A few days after that she took the child into the woodshed, and then got a clipping from a stave and whipped the baby with it. Three weeks later 1 Went over to her house, and she had him in the shed whipping him. I told her she was whipping the child out of reason. She said she “would kill him if she wanted to; it was nothing to the neighbors.’' After I went home she went out aud took a saw and sawed a cttppiug of a slave in two and held it up, and in the presence of Sarah Brown and August Schaffer she said: “I whipped him three-quarters of an hour, by the cloek, before, and now I intend to whip him one hour. Stay at home and watch, if you dou’t believe it.” When I saw her whip him in the shed the first time the child was standing, trembling as if it had a convulsion. She beat it frequently after that, and I saw her knock it down several times. Other witnesses in substance corroborated this testimony. Thos. Slat terlv swore: “Five weeks ago, Mrs. Gaines whipped this little boy with the butt end ol a buggy whip vesy hard, and made it sit down on the floor by a hot stove, and if the child moved she would hit him again. She kept it sitting there all evening. She said she would givo it a good whipping when she got it home.” W. J. Carey swore he was passing the house about two weeks ago when he heard her beating the child, and heard the child crying. When I got near the house site closed the door and pulled down the blind. I stopped Mini heard the child el-rills' and heard

'll kill you l>fc- : “Yesterday did for fifteen flowed: ‘For God's sake, quit beating that child sometime.’ She canto to the door aud then went back and began beating it again. As I passed back she lectured me for interfearing. She said: ‘What is it your business what I am doing with this chdd. The child is mine, and by God I will kill it if I want to, and you can’t help yourself.” This was the evening before the child died. Mtfch other evidence of similmar purport was adduced. I»K. swartzell’s testimony. “I found numerbns contusions, bruises>tJd slight wounds Over different portions of the body; also a a clot of blood on the brain.” Qnes. “In your opinion, what caused this clot of blood on the braiu?” “Aus. “Injuries produced by a -blow upon the head.’ Ques. “Froat what you discovered during the autopsy, was there, in ' your opinion, othey injuries to the body independent of those on the head which would produced death?” j Ans. “Yes, ultimately.” I Ques. “Were there more bruises 1 on the head than those on tho fore- i head?” I Ans. “Yes; all over the head.” 1 Ques. “In your opinion what were 1 these bruises and cuts produced by?” 1 Ans. “Some by a switch ; others 1 by a broader and heavier piece of 1 wood or something of that nature.” coroner’s verdict. Coroner Beokes, after hearing all . tho evidences, submitted tho following verdict: *

"l, Li. m. ueckes, uoroner oi ; Knox county, Indiana, having viewed the body of Elmer Gaines, aud hav- ■ ing heard all the evidences and made all necessery inquiry, make return of • the following verdict herein: I find ’ that 6aid deceased came to his death , on the 5th day .of September, 1891, and that said Elmer Gaines came to his death at the bands of Emma Gaines by the unlawful and felloneous touching, striking and beating said Elmer Gaines by said Emma Gaines with some hard aud deadly substance aud weapon, then and there had and held by the said Emma Gaines in her bauds. “In testimony whereof, I have hereunto set my hand and ssal this 7th day of September, 1891. “L. M. Bkckks, “Corner of Knox county.” The author of the crime as told above is in the Vincennes jail. She was arrested on bar way from the fuueral. Her husband is said to be a “hen-pecked geutlemau.” The most of our ailmeuts come from disordered livers which Simmons Liver Regulator cures.

THE GIRL ABOUT TOWN SHE FULFILLS HER PROMISE And Says Something About Tht 6oo4 Men. Well, what a crowd! I don’i mean it is so big. Look over il and you will the better understand me. The truly good man is here; the married and the single are here; an occasional old maid is here, and Lazarus—God pity that breagistained soul! He is here too, with his whiskey, tobacco, and unwashed mouth scenting the room until you think you are surrounded by a whisky barrel, a slop barrel, and a tobacco box. I shall lecture him no more. He shall be let alone until, like the irishman’s skunk, he stinks himself to death. To return to my subject, the good men, like the good women, are, most of them, married. But let me tell you there are some of the best, sweetest, most spotless, generous, willing-to-marry old maids left that ever danced the can can or addressed a disgusted public, such as I am, for example. And the bachelors—they are just as good, some of them. I sat on a chair almost in front of The Democrat office a few days ago, reflecting over the troublesome things that be, when an old friend took a seat near by and commenced a conversation through a nose that made bis words sound something like a log-ham, though not so loud. We talked of old times and new. We found, upon sober reflection, that anly four or five men that were bom and brought up in Petersburg have ever amounted to a fig, morally, physically, intellectually, or financially. Then my friend remarked that his sin to be answered was not having married and reared i family as a good man should have lone. I told him I thought so too, md that it is never too late to reform. He acquiesced in this opinion while I smiled, worked bashful dimples in my cheeks and put cn the maiden’s blush the best I could, and I am no slouch at it cither. He didn’t smile, but he turned reder in the face than I did, md said nothing (the brute). Finally he managed to sing? out through his fog-hom, “Good evening, girlie,” and left me to nurse that old saw, "It might have been.” To you who do your duites, who ill a place in this world and make the world better by filling that ;>lace, let me say, go on. You are the support of every one who does sot occupy his time at some useful employment; the earner of every cent that goes into any man’s hand, ft may seem hard to support the rich, the idle, and the worthless, mt such a class as you has existed n every age and has been the support of all others. You can blame inly yourselves for this, because women have never had a voice in tffiairs de publique, and only a reorganization of the whole body poltic will releive you. Still, though four condition is hard and you now lave no means of immediate relief, jo on, you are the people, you are he world; go on, heaven is not far rom you, and that happy land will >e yours when you have “shuffled iff this mortal coil,” and have lassed the last shadow and the cold iver whose silent beyond we shall lever know if the dead are not juickened. Push on, and dare to Io right and to assert your right in ill things. Be courageous, kind, >enevolent, industrious; love God md serve Him and you’ll be happy. Lud when you brush .nay the dews at morn, Lnd press your day’s work till the night, Pwo happy eyes will look all day for you to pomp.

tnd when you come look bright. Vhen children climb upon your tired kn«n Po share the envied kiss they always fine dore pleasure is there iu this simple act Phan in the riches of the world combined.

tt£AD THIS TWICE X The only Protection that will effectually protect all people, all classes, all tabor and all interests is that styled Self Protection ! acquired only from a trythful knowledge of ways and means, legal and illegal, just and unjust, by which the burdens of government, profits of labor and industry, are so unequally divided. That knowledge is power, and ignorance its slave, is forcibly illustrated daily in all walks of life, among all people, in all countries. Where knowledge is used as a power or a means for gaining wealth without labor or an equivalent therefor, it becomes necessary to deceive or keep in ignorance of such methods those from whom the wealth is taken; hence it is that of the ten thousand newspapers printed in the United States, less than ten are absolutely free and independent of the power or control of some class, party or monopoly whose interest it iB to keep the great mass of people in ignorance of their methods.
