The discussion Of the presidential
question among Democrats. says the St.
Louis Republican, has led them at last
to the conviction that the party ought
not to par ticket in the field; there are
few dissenters from this almost universal
conviction. But there are some Demo

since the Democracy viii not nominate

the Liberals at Cincinnati present tick

shall call national convention TO approve
and adopt it, and recommend it to be

Tne asxlngton Charaer

The Kentucky Legislature has passed
the bill amending the charter of the city
of Lexington, and we regard it as grie-
vous misstep upon the part Of our Dem
ocratic legislators Lexington Is unfor-
tunately very decidedly Republican, and
the object Of the amendment IS to keep
the city from falling into The hands Of
Radical rulers By legisIating the present
Democratic city officials IN beyond their
term Of Office, or abrogating the right Of
the people Of the city Of Lexington to
choose their own city rulers. To our
judgment this is an awkward aping OF
the Radical management of affairs in the
South, and should be repudiated by the
1Jemocratic party Of the State. Vixen
our Democratic State Convention assem-
bIes, indeed in each Of our primary coun-
ty conventions now approaching, the
Democracy should relieve itself of any
responsibility for such an obnoxious act
We want, and must have, free elections
in Lexington as in every other com7nuni
ty, whether the result shall be in favor Of
the Democracy or the Republicans This
thing of disfranchising a whole commu-
nity-depriyiog them Of the right 0 vote
IN the selection of their local officers i.
the Radical way of doing things, bu
against the very form aud spirit of thc
Democracy and can not be defended be
fore the people. The dearest principle
of Democracy is sacrificed for the mere
temporary and local advantages Of Z
small city and its Office holders and pol
iiicians.
We are glad to see that one Of ou
representatives, Mr.. Jones, Of Graves
opposed the bill IN bold terms. a cor
respondent writing from Frankfort to tn
Courier Journal says that when the Lex
ington bill came up for discussion Nj
Jones, said he was a democrat after tn
sirictest sect, and therefore felt himsel
compelled to vote against the measure
ia pursuance Of the radical policy h
had once been kept for some time as
Federal prisoner to keep him from enter
ing upon the Office of sheriffin his coun
ty lie, for one, would not vote to th
enemies of the democratic party clul
with which to pound US in the Presiden
tial contest. Mr.. Jones is sound anc
substantial democrat and we commeuc
him for this manly declaration Of hi
principles.
We are glad to learn that Gov Leslie
vetoed the bill.

Mob La,s at Nash,i,le.

NASHVILLE, TENN., March 2j.-On
Sunday morning a negro named David
Jones robbed the house Of farmer
named Murray, and when the latter OF
fered resistance the negro shot him dead.
The murderer was arrested and put in
Jail. At nine O'Clock to night an infuri
ated mob broke open the Jail and. after
shooting the prisoner twice. put rope
around his neck and dragged him out on
the public square and strung him up to
a lamp post Before he was dead six
policemen rushed to the spot, aud draw
ing their pistols kept the mob away, cut
dow the negro, and carried him to the
police station. lie was fatally wounded
by the bullets, however and will not liv,
until midnight. The mob are now dis
persed and two companies Of militar,
are on the ground.

spain and Dr. Howard.

Dr. Howard who is an American citi-
zen residing in Cuba, aud who claims the
protection of the American government,
has been arrested and sentenced by the
Spanish authorities as an alder Of the
Cuba insurgents, to imprisonment in
Africa.
We are glad to learn that the United
States government, through Secretary
Fish has called upon spain for IN expIana
ton Of the Howard case. and made a
demand ia such language that IS likely to
receive a prompt response. Dr. Howard
who claims to be an American citizen. has
excited the wrath of the Cuban authori
ties by afiliatiug with the iusurrection-
lists, and after trial which at best was
/ but mockery of law, is sentenced to twen
/ y years residence in the Spanish penal
settlement on the west coast of Africa.
Such punishment is of course nothing
less than death, and would have been
much more merciful to have doomed the
offender to be shot or garrotted at once.
The. African climate will dig his grave
before twelve months have elapsed, so
/ that the decree of banishment is really
refined cruelty, aud probably designed as
such Dr. Howard's claims to citizen

faction Of our consul general at Havana
his relatives and friends in Philadelphia
have, we believe, furnished the necessary
proof to the state department, and the
only argument on the other side is the
assertion that he renounced allegiance to
the United States and became citizen
Of Cuba-which is extremely improba
Bile, to say the least.
Aclion in this mater has been too long
delayed already, and if the captain-cen-

Among the interesting questions dis
cussed in the last report Of the state
board Of health of Massachusetts,, is the
effect Of the use Of the ordinary sewing
machines, worked by the freddie or foot
power, upon the health of the female
operatives The patent Of Elias Howe,
Jr, is dated Sept 10, 1916. The gen
eral Introduction Of sewing machines ia
to families began about the year 1890 TO
1879. and was not attended at first with
any general complaints as to the effect
upon the health of the women who used
them As early as 1860 however, the
machines came into general ii in the
''slop shops and shirts and clothing
manufactures, and simultaucously obser-
vations began to be made by physicians
of certain unhealthy effects accompany
ING their use In some instances, cramps
of the lower limbs, aud irritation OF the
sheaths and tendons of the extensor and
fexor muscles, followed at times by
partial paralysis, pointed directly to the
use Of the sewing machine as the exclt
ing cause In one case there was para~
lysis of the entire surface Of the foot,
caused by the prolonged contact with
the metallic pedal. No subsequent case
like this has ever occurred. In most cases
the injury assumed the form of dyspepsia,
loss OF flesh and strength, pains IN the
chest, giddiness aud nervous headache,
caused by the vibratory motion OF the
machines. Many also suffered from
leucorrhoea, irritation of the pelvis, and
diseases peculiar to women.
With this information before them, the
board sent inquiries to one hundred and
thirty n ht correspondents, representing
one hundred and twer ty towns IN Massa
ehusetts. and several large cities IN
other states. The conclusion derived BY
the board from comparison OF the
answers to these inquiries, is that the
treadle sewing machines may be used
with very general safety by all women
not already feeble OF infrm, for three or
! four hours a day, it performing the
amount of sewing usually required 10
private families. None but very strong
and vigorous women, however, are capa-
/ bic of working the full ten hours ol
more required in factories, and ever
these grow old rapidly, and fail In health
in very few years.
The use of sewing machines is showr
by accurate tables to save about sever
eights of the time of the operator, or t.
furnish seven times more sewing for th'
same expenditure of time. The objec
tiops TO them on the score of health ar
by no means greater than the use OF tn
needle. Indeed, the amount OF exer
else. and facilities for change of position
and the attitude of the sewer, are bet
ter with the machine than with tn

what the Negroes OF sOuth Car
Oiina Demand.

4 pamphlet has been published and
circulated among the negroes of South
Carolina with the following rather mod
est demands:
I'VE want and must have during the
next two years in this State, eighty thou
saud rural homestead farms, of ten acres
each. for eighty thousand families o!
freedmen. now without homes.
By putting good men into Office, white
md black, such as We want and must
have to carry out this measure, the land:
for these homesteads can be purchased a
such low rate, as to enable the freed
men to live, aud pay of the entire eosi
of each farm in four years.
The STATE must purchase the land
aud give the people time to pay tor it.
The author denounces Gov. Scott, an,
charges that the greater part of thos
whom the coiored people have elected t
Office have ''meanly deceived and cheate,
his race" "Impostors have they geneI
ally been of the eravest sort" "Thes
men." he says, "are not only thieves bu
