SATT'KDAY. OCTOBER 17. I'M.

THE campaign liar has but a few days left for his nefarious work.

IT is said that the railroad travel to Canton, Ohio, to see Major McKinley will bring to the railroad companies the sum of over $1,000,000 in railro ul fares.

THINGS are beginning to move rapidly out in Iowa. A man out there has just killed himself because of unfortunate world's fair investments in Chicago.

THE march of civilization still goes on in South Africa. Having bought a few native chiefs and killed a great many more, the English announce that the Matabele uprising is at an end.

THE state ballots in Indiana this year will be about eighteen inches by twentyfour inches in size. Many a man who thinks about scratching his ticket will weaken when one of the blankets is presented to him.

A DISPATCH from Spain says that if that country doesn't put down the revolution in Cuba by the first of March she will let the island go. This will be a practical demonstration of how to let go of something you haven't got.

A POl'i'i.tST editor of Indianapolis has been convicted of profanity, growing out of politics. Are the rights of free men to be thus infringed on in a political campaign Can't a man be allowed to express his feelings at a time like this

A CHICAGO newspaper, in publishing the letter of Archbishop Ireland endorsing McKinley, put the headlines over it, "Ireland for McKinley." There would be many anxious hearts relieved if it could be proved that Ireland is for th»* Canton man.

JUST as their cause is the gold Democrats and Republicans in the Seventh Kentucky district are not deserving of success. They have united in nominating \V. C. P. Breckenridge for congress. A pretty specimen he will be to talk about "a nation's morals" and "national dishonor." A pretty specimen, indeed. He ought to be beaten out of sight,

THIS has indeed bweu a campaign of education. It Is stated that since the first of January last over seven billion political documents have been sent out by the campaign committees of the two leading parties. This is said to be a larger amount of campaign literature than was seut out by all parties during the past thirty years previous. The silver people began sending out their literature first and are believed to have used the greater portion of this.

Two Kentucky gentlemen are going to flght. a duel over politics. It follows the defeat of one of them in a congressional convention, as a result of which one was called a liar. If all the men who call others liars, and who are called liars, during these closing days of a campaign wen? to engage In duels, the yawnlug graveyards would not hold them. It would be necessary to begin cremation to dispose of the corpses that would le piled upon the public streets.

WAS there ever a c-uulidato who was placed in a position where he could not pray to be delivered from his fool friends. In St. Iiouis this week there has been considerable excitement, over the discharge of a number of dorks in a department store because they were for Bryan and free silver. Such a rumpus was raised over the discharge that the men were taken back, but the indiscretion of such a transaction will no doubt have some effect on the vote in St. Lout*.

THBKK IS certainly some advertising that doesn't- pay. In the Chicago paper* last Saturday a doctor, a specialist, advertised that he makes a specialty of curing stupidness. The same night Eugene V. Debs spoks to a crowd of workingmen and used an expression, if the Chicago papers may be credited with telling the truth, to the following effect-: "If McKinley Is elected the standing army will be increased to put a bayonet at the back of every worklngmauiwho pretests against Injustice." And yet the advertisement (ailed to take the orator to the specialist with the advertisement.

WK hear so much nowadays about the visible supply of gold and tie gold production of the world, that it is interesting to read the testimony of an American expert who recently visited the Transvaal Hold fields, to the effect that there Is in that little republic enough gold to equal the present volume of the world's gold -coin. The expert member of the United JSuteo geological survey, and he says that the little South African republic contains the roo*t marvelously rich gold deposits «r*r discovered. His investigation* were very carefully conducted, and he is quite wiihltt bounds when he says that within fifteen miles of Johannesburg. on what is 4*11*1 the main reef series, the gold thai is ttr tctloulr In sight Is worth «S.5t*\oon.(**x B« ttws the term "pr wtte Ujr in sight" ihe etM-h**rtag ore Is .xtraordi-

as uniform as an

ordlasry .fep^t of tbis "nlfor™'tJ i,„ determined by shaft* which liave h- sunk Ui a depth of 1W# fr t, and

by diamond drillings, which have gone to a much deeper depth. Shafts have been sunk and drillings made at irregular intervals throughout the gold-bearing region, as it is now known, and there can be no doubt of the uniformity of the deposits. From the Transvaal mines last year was produced $100,000,000 in gold—the largest ^amount ever produced in one year from a single region in the world's history—and the probability is that within a few years the gold production from that region will aggregate $200,000,000 per annum. The life of a gold mine is ordinarily estimated at twenty-five years, and it is highly probable that the Transvaal deposits will be worked in that time. At present the gold is being mined at the rate of $100,000,000 a year, and it is almost a certainty that within a short time the Transvaal will produce more gold than all the world beside. In 1894 the gold product of the world was $181,000,000, of which about $40,000,000 came from the Transvaal, and nearly as much from the United States. The greatest amount ever produced by this country in a single year was in 1853, when the production aggregated $65,000,000.

THE ELECTIONS.

There is a great deal of prevaricating in the present campaign, more than usual, in fact, or else somebody is going to be dreadfully fooled. The assurance of the eastern people, who cannot see beyond the Alleghany mountains, is something fearful to contemplate. From their point of view, the election is settled now, and the only thing necessary is the formality of counting the votes in favor of McKinley. For instance here is what is said by Harper's Weekly, the organ of the mugwumps who have for years cast the deciding votes in all presidential elections: "There is no longer any doubt as to the result of the election. Mr. Bryan will be defeated. The only question is as to the extent of the defeat. The following table shows the result of a careful and trustworthy canvass of the several states:

On the other hand, the Democratic National committee, is unwilling to concede that McKinley will get more than eighty or ninety votes at the most. They are willing to concede him that many.

There is more Catarrh in this seotion of the country than all other diseases put together, and until the last few years was supposed to be incurable. For a great many years doctors pronounced it a local disease, and prescribed local remedies, and by constantly failing to cure with local treatment, pronounced It incurable. Science has proven catarrh to be a constitutional disease, and therefore requires constitutional treatment. Hall's Catarrh Cure, manufactured by F. J. Cheney & Co., Toledo, Ohio, is the only constitutional cure on the market. It is taken internally in doses from 10 drops to a teaspoonful. It acts directly on the blood and mucous surfaces of the system. They offer one hundred dollars for any case it fails to cure. Send for circulars and testimonials. Address

American lamps In Paris.

The terrible use made by the Communards of 1871 of petroleum for conflagration purposes produced such an impression on the Frenoh mind that people recoiled even at the mention of keroseno. So the American kerosene lamps, which were then just beginning to get a foothold in France, were relegated to tho limbo of dangerous innovations. Then came the exhibitions of 1878 and 1889, with our particularly good show of new, improved and artistio lumps. The memories of 1871 were quickly forgotten, and today the use of candles and the old "pump lamps"— gas has never been a general means of domestic lighting in France—has gone down before tho American substitute, which has not only invaded the Parisian bedroom and parlor, but has even found favor in the chateaux along the Loire and has worked its way into the plain homes of tho remotest villages. One of tho American lamp exhibitor* received to many orders during the exhibition of 1889 that he established a branch store in the beet part of oommewial Paris, where he has been doing tk thriving business ever since.—Lip* pinoott's Magaaine.

When Bill Nye paid his last visit to San Francisco, some Bohemian friends of his took him on a bay excursion, They waited an hour or two for Bill to spring one of his quiet jokes, but be remained as grave as any sexton until the tug passed Angel island. Tbere on the beach was an immense signboard, beari::g cue word "Oable" in large start letters. "It strange,** said Mr. Nye, flippi up a thumb toward the aign, "how SCUP if those American authors will inI «i«t ou advertising themselves."

Vuoliili Salesman.

Lundy Foot, the Dublin tobacconist, laid the foundation of bis large fortune by saying to each dirty, ragged little girl, as be handed her the pennyworth of snuff she had asked for, "Thank you, my dear? please come again." The largest retail grocery business in Boston was built up by the founder's rule to his salesmen, "Treat every servant girl as you would her mistress if she Were buying." The Saturday Evening Gazette tells of an airy salesman in .. Boston dry goods house who bad a fall by failure of courtesy to a purchaser.

A young lady was in search of some material to use for a waist with a very handsome silk skirt, and she advanced to the counter where this particular olerk was presiding. She was quietly dressed. She did not scintillate with spangles and gilt belts, and her sleeves and Bkirt did not extend to the ful' width of space between the counters, consequently tbe olerk decided that she did not come from the magic precincts of the Back Bay.

Attracted by a certain piece of goods, she asked the prioe and width. The man answered shortly, "Three dollars a yard, 47 inches wide." She looked at various other things on the counter, anH then returning to the first thing as the most pleasing she said politely: "Will you please give me a sample of this?"

The man did not move. 'I told you that was $3 a yard," he said. The girl looked at him. "Yes?" she said. "The silk with which I intend to use it cost 46.75 a yard, but I think can make this stuff of yours do, as it is only for house wear."

A smile stole over the faces of two or three shoppers, and the salesman out the sample with a meekness that would have done ciedit to Moses. But that girl says she'll go without a dress rather than buy a yard of that man.

Knots Tied by Machinery.

If inventions continue to multiply at the present rate, the day may speedily come when man will have to sit with folded arms while his work and even his pleasures are turned out for him by niokei in the slot devices. Science ha* lately given us a marvel in the shape of a card oounting machine.

Two of the most interesting automata now working within the limits of the United States are those used by the government for oounting and tying postal cards into small bundles. These machines were made in Connecticut, and the two are capable of counting 500,000 cards in ten hours and wrapping and tying the same in packages of 25 each. In this operation tbe paper is pulled off a drum by two long "fingers," which oome up from below, and another finger dips in a vat of mucilage and applies itself to the wrapping paper in exactly the right spot. Other parts of the machine twine tbe paper around the paok of cards, and then a "thumb" presses over the spot where the mnoilage is, and the paokage is thrown upon a carry belt ready for delivery.—Argosy.

An Anecdote of Jenny Lind. A# an illustration of the oonstant anxiety of artists concerning tbeir powers, Mrs. Reeves told me how one famous prima donna refused to sit down at all on a day when she was to sing. "No, she wonld walk about the room, talking perhaps, singing perhaps, sometimes even busy with her needle and thread, but never Bitting down the livelong day until the performance was over. Why, I remember well enough how one day, on the morning of a performance, Jenny Lind, Mr. Beeves, Mr. Otto Goldsmith and myself were in tbe room, and through the morning Jenny Lind and my husband were never still, pacing one past the other, with music in hand, singing and practicing. 'Why, Jenny,' said Mr. Qoldsmith, 'you must have sung those songs many times surely there is no need for all this.' But this remonstrance was in vain. 'You are a fine musician,' said Jenny in her quiet, decisive manner, 'but Mr. Reeves and I are singers, and we know what is best for onselves. Leave us alone.'''— Westminster Budget.

His Preferenoe.

She blushed prettily as she told tbe sister of her best young man that she thought she would buy a birthday present for him. "You know him better than I do," She said, "so I have oome to you for advice." "Yes?" said the sister inquiringly. "Oh, yes, indeed. What would you advise me to get?" "Oh, I don't know," replied the sis ter carelessly. "I oould only advise you in general terms. From what I know of him, however, he will appreciate something that can be easily pawned better than something that oannot."— Chioago Post «V

A Pincushion Tree.

One of the oddest trees in the world is the yucca palm, whioh grows in the southwestern part of the United States and in Mexico. It may well be called the pincushion tree, for tbe Indians who live there cut the palms down, saw tbem into sections a few inches long and round over tbe white pith inside and sell them for pincushions. Pins and needles stick easily into the spongy pith, and it is said that it helps to keep them bright and clean.—Chicago Record.

Gilbert u4 Tate*.

W. 8. Gilbert was chatting with some friends in a well known literary club one day when the late Edmund Yates entered, looking very thoughtful, and sat down in moody silence. "What's the matter with Yates?" whispered one of tbe party. "He maintains quite a reli-. gious silence." "Yes," said Gilbert, "he is thinking of tbe next World."
