CURIOTs LAWSUIT.

Toledo has a singular lawsuit, in the
Lucas County Courtof Common Pleas
which, when settled, viii decide the
rights Of landlord and tenant in some
matters.
II. J. RafenspergeF, a real estate
dealer, rents from J. w. Myersa suite
of rooms in Myers Block, in which
TO conduct his business. Wishing to
advertise his business, Mr., Rahen-
sperger, after obtaining consent Of
another tenant in the same Block
caused to be erected a large bulletin
hoard at the side Of the Block an
nouncing q sale of lots. 1he board
was extensively and neatly painted
and was put up so as to not defaee the
building in any way. Mr.. Myers OBJ
jeeted to the board remaining up and
instituted q suit in Court for damag-
ing and otherwise injuring his Block,
placing the damages at S5,OO0. The
plaintiff in the case has retained for
counsel, NJ. R. & B. Waite and the
defendant Osborn & swayne and Lee
4 Brown. The Blade says Of this
case:
'iiThis is legal excitement a little
out Of the common order. Reing q
tenant Of the Block, and having as
much interest in keeping up the good
appearance Of the building in which
his Office is located, a least for the
time being, as even the landlord him.
self, Mr.. .Raffensperger is innocent of
any intentional wrong certainly, but
rs the case presents some very nice
points of law, she case is exciting on
the streets a good deal Of discussion
and comment, and the trial of the
cahse will be looked for with unusual
Interest.

WHY IKnIINI KEYT nEMOrRIrIC.

The Importance Of voting is shown
in tine result Of the late election in
Indiana. Had Republicans there done
their duty they might have continued
under Republican rule instead of
being carried with Democratic. mis-
rule. It is a lesson that Ohio Repub-
llcans should learn.
Vice President CoIfax in a recent
letter thus gives figures to show-and
they show it conclusively-that had
Republicans done what was their
duty Indiana would have stir been
Republican:
Though confessedly a revers the
official vote proves, beyond question,
that on a. full poll Indiana would be
more decidedly Republican than in
October, 1858, instead of showing an
apparent Democratic gain of 500, as
Il does. The Democratic candidate
for Secretary of State is elected by
2,50S majority, which also happens to
be about the average Democratic ma
iority on the State ticket; their ma
tOIities ranging from 1867 on State
Auditor and 1894 on Superintendent
OF Public Instruction, to an average
of 3,400- on Supreme Judges. The
vote cast in October, 1858, for Govern
or Baker Republican, was III, $50 ;
for ex-senator Hendricks, his oppO-
nent, 1904 The vote cast in 0ctO-
Der, 1870, for Hoffman REP. candi-
date for Secretary of State), was 157,-
+0i; for. Eddy (Dem.), 16O,OO9. The
unpOlled Republican vote was, there
fore, fully 1900, and the unpolled
Democratic vote over 10000. 1t is
estimated that about 5000 were added
10 our number Of votes by the 18th
Amehdment. So that the stay-at-
hOHes can fairly be counted at 20
900 Republican and 10000 Democratic
about the usual proportion of the
two parties in an exciting canvass,
which fails to draw out the full vote
usually polled in a Presidential cam
paign- hazard nothing, therefore,
In claiming that full vote, If it had
been, cast, would have been shown
the State far more decidedly Republi-
can than in October, 1868.

TIRE RLECTIeyS


Nineteen States held their elections
on Monday and Tuesday last. Our
space viii not permit us 10 give the
details and We give the following ar
ticle from the Leader, which runs up
the general result:
The elections which took place on
Monday and Tuesday are not yet re-
ported in detail, but we have enough
particulars to give our readers brief
review OF the general result It may
all be summed upin single sentence.
The Republicans have not lost a sin
gle State, and have regained two
New Jersey and Louisiana-which
were against them at their last elec-
tons. This is good enough to shout
over, and if the Democrats ike the
returns, all hands are sdited.
Massachusetts, has gone Republican
by an increased majority over last
year-prcbably thirty-fve thousand
over the Democracy, and ten thous-
and against the Democrats and Labor
Reform candidates combined. The
Congressional delegation IS unani-
mously Republican, and the Legisla-
ture overwhelmingly so.
Rhode Island elects tive Republican
Congressmen.
New York has gone Democratic by
about 5000 majority. The legisla-
ture Is probably Republican. The
Democrats gain three Congressmen.
In New Jersey we gain one Con-
gresham, and the state legislature in
suring a Republican Senate. New Jer-
sey is redeemed.
In Maryland there are large Repub-
liean gains, but not enough to redeem
the State, which is Democratic by
about $1,000 majority.
Delaware goes Democratic by 800
majority, gain Of 5000 for the Re-
publicans.
Illinois retains her ancient proud
position, giving 1000 Republican ma
jority, and electing Republican Con-
gressmen out Of IA.
Michigan is decidedly Republican,
though, owing to local quarrels and
Republican sore-heads, one Congress
sional District was thrown away
The Republican state ticket has twen-
ty thousand majority.
Wisconsin is strongly Republican,
but we lose one Congressman in the
Milwaukee District.
Minnesota is strongly Republican,
and here we register the gain Of a
Congressman.
Kansas gives 5000 Republican ma
jority.
In Missouri the Liberal Republican
ticket is elected by an overwhelming
majority, probably 10000.
Kentucky is always Democratic,
but this fan the Republicans have
made large gains, including one Con-
gresham.
From the Southern States we have
no full returns. The Republicans have
probably carried Alabama, Florida
and Louisiana; the Democrats Nir-
giiia, Tennessee and Arkansas.
The general result Ofthe elections is
highly encouraging. 1t demonstrates
that, in spite of local gains or losses,
the great heart of the American peO-
pie still is in sympathy with the par
ty that saved the nation and estab-
lished Liberty.

In the year 1913, Il Frenchman
named FeTrage, under the influence
of cannibalism, suddenly left his COM
panions and surrendered himself to
this horrible propensity. He selected
as his retreat, a cavern near the top of
Cne of the mountains of Azure, whence
he used to descend like a beast of prey,
into the Champagne country, killing
all the women. He could eat moth
ing else, and was constantly seen to
gaze, as if in want for an opportunity
to seize his prey5 He never went
abroad without a dOuble-barreled gun,
a belt full of pistols, and a dagger. So
great was the terror that he inspired,
that he used frequently come into
town for food or ammunition without
mOlestatiOu. A peasant, whom he
suspected of design upon him, had
his house bnrned over bis head. He
used to decOy any muleteers he should
discover in the woods, to his den,
where they were murdered. A
large reward was offered for his cap
ture in vain, until q bold peasant in
sinUated' himself into his confidence,
and captured him. This Oeast of prey,
for such he was, was executed on the
10Th of. December, 1892. He was bro
ken alive on the wheel. For four
years he had lived exclusively as a
cannibal.

Mr.. Horace Greeley on Military Men
Generally.


From his speech at st. Louis, Oct. 8
Long after the materials have per-
ished beyond recovery, we perceive
that the true history of Our race has
not been written. That which has
come down us from antiquity embOd-
les the names of a few great warriors,
as many city-building despots, the
founders of three or four out Of ten
thousand religions, with two or three
remarkably strong minded and gen.
orally ill-behaved women; but of the
great benefactors and real leaders OF
mankind, it tells US nothing. Minus
and Sesostris figure on its pages; but
what are they to US? and what did
they whereby we are instructed or
benefited? 4? while he who first sub
dued and tanned a horse, and he who
first stirred and lOOsened the soil for
a seed-bed by the help of animal
strength, have utterly crumbled into
nameless dust. We know who show
ed Europe how to make and use gun
powder; we cannot guess who taught
her to weave fabrics of wool and flax
for defence against the caprices of
weather and the rigOrs Of winter; we
are familiar with the modern achive-
ments of Marlborough, and SAKE,
Prussia's Frederick, while we know
little of Palissy, and jacquard, and
Brindley, and Watt; yet that little
has sated our curiosity. The con-
quests of the Great Napoleon turned
to ashes years before he died, while
those, far vaster, of our own Fulton
are still being extended and consoli-
dated; yet millions eagerly pore over
volumes narrating the former, where
thousands wearily yawn over pages
describing the latter. Right well do
We know that the era of carnage and
devastation has not closed; but is it
not high time that the sway of peace
full, fruitful industry should begin?
Our average reading eOrrupts more
than il enlightens and humOrizes us.
The apprentice, whose every leisure
hour is absorbed in glOating over the
adventurous rObberies of Jack Shep-
pard, is clearly not on the highway to
eminence in the trade he learns only
to despise; but how much better cal
culated to render him q skillful me-
chanic and useful citizen are the pages
Of Napier's Peninsular War Alli-
sons Modern Europe, or the Napole-
onic romances of the Rev. s. c. Alb
bOtt?
Do men gather grapes of thOrns,
or ngs Of thistfes ?" We poison the
minds OF our youth with a delusive
glamour which makes industry seem
dull and trivial, and then wonder
thaS they shun patient, plodding
work, and WOO success through haz.
ardous speculation and gambling ad-
venture. We virtually teach them
that the husbandman's life is poor
and paltry, and then wonder that
they despise and shun it. We must
reverse the engine, and teach the es-
sential nObleEiess of even an undis-
tinguished but useful career of manly
lab E-.he nObleness that is, or at
least the nObleness that may and vet
shall be.

MIDNIGHT MARAUEERS.
DOlEgS OF a Night in Tennessee Lit
tie Wholesome Reconstruction Need
nH

About two weeks ago men in dis
guise went at the hour of IL O'Clock
at night and compelled Mr. Buck
(whO has a printing press near Cook
ville) to print notices for them, after
which they threw his form into 'pi"
and left. The following is an extract
copy of the notice, viz:
AK. X. K.-The Bloody Noon is
Rising-awake We dead, now is the
time. Raw heads & Bloody Bones.
The Bones OF the dead are now to-
gether.
Know We all men & women we
have been sent to this world to do
good. And our command to you is,
hold your tongues. This visit has
been to stop Negro Lies & Slanderous
Reports. Beware We white men; Con-
suit not with Negroes in regard to the
X. X. KS.
"Should These Lies and ISLANDERS be
stopped, we are done; but if they are
not, Millions will Rise from the dead
the earth will quake, &c. For our
chief is the LORD.
"By Order of the G. c. of the
az. K. X. Den No !, ,746, ,S32. 4"
The same night they visited the
house of r. D. Hunter and whipped
cOlOred woman and made inquiry
for the Rev. Mr.. Stevens who was ex-
pected there at that time.
On assembling Circuit Court at
Cookville, his honor, Judge Fite, gave
in charge to the Grand Jury the Ku-
KIux law, and urged its being en-
forced. That night n company of
them in defiance of the law visited
and paraded the street Of the town
and retired.
On Wednesday following a disturb
ance was gotten up on the streets, in
which two Union men were severely
beaten. When the disturbance COM
menced Ku-Klux whistles were heard
calling the Klan to the scene, and
such was the attitude of affairs that
Judge Fite ordered that the Court adj
jOurn until Court in course.
At Sparta on Monday last Judge
Fite opened Court, and to his honor
be it said, he again gave the Ku-KluX
law in charge TO the Grand Jury and
urged its rigid enforcement. In the
charge to the jury he said that recon-
structiOn is by no means dead or
aDduuOuGus anu llldl lllt Adlc VI 4Nli-
nessee in reference to that matter de-
pends altogether upon the behavior Of
the people-adding that if the laws
can not be enforced, and the peace
maintained, and tle Ku-Klux silenc-
ed, we may look for nothing short Of
reconstruction the coming winter,
with federal bayOnets and soldiers to
maintain the laws and protect the
people, and that it would De right and
proper it should be done.
We hope his Homer, Judge Fite, will
receive the hearty cooperation Of ev-
cry good citizen in his efforts to sup
press crime. Wilson, Smith, Jack
son, Putnam, and OyertOn counties
are now being overrun by midnight
marauders and assassins, and a reign
of terror being established, which, un-
less stopped, will prove very detri-
mental to the peace and welfare of
not only those counties hut the entire
State.
