RESULT IN HOLMES COUNTY.

The fight between the Reform
wing Of the Democracy assisted by
the Republicans, and the@Old Ring"
party was close and hotly contested.
TheseDemocrats have pledged them
selves to put down the "Old Ring"
that has SO long run the county, and
asked the Republicans to help them.
As this is what the Republicans have
wanted these many years, but could
not do themselves, they felt it their
duty to assist in this good work.
But it is strange to us why some Re-
publicans who profess to desire this
thing to be brought about, and who
are continually asking why it is
strsnge that these very men went to
the polls on Tuesday and voted for
Butler, with the "Old Ring" or else
did not vote at all. 1t only requir-
ed a few more votes to have elected
Day,and these might have been Civ
en- him.by the Republicans. There
is spirit in the Democratic party
that can be made healthful to the
county if all true men will stand by
;t.

CAPTURING WILD HORSES IN TEX
AS

[From the Pleasanton Stock Journal
As soon as a herd of horses is
discovered, the party of hunters di
vide, one portion striking camp
while the other sets off in pursuit of
the herd. The frightened animals
go bounding across the p airie,
through the prickly pear and. dense
chaparrel, leaving trail which the
hunters steady pursue at an easy
gate, until they come in sight of the
herd, which scampers off as before.
These tactics are kept up by the pur
suers for days, the mustangs return
ing to their first starting point
which they are sure to do--when the
camping party takes the place of the
tired pursuers, and thus follow the
herd until the poor, wearied, and half
starved creatures, with swollen limbs
and bloodshot eyes, give up the
struggle and submit to be driven
anywhere. The object of the
hunters has been merely to keep
close enough to the mustangs to pre-
vent them grazing. Starvation soon
brings them to terms, and the prai-
rie monarch, with dropping crest and
detected look, leaves his native wilds
henceforth to become the slave of
man. This is what hunters call
walking mustangs down." n

PROBABLE CAPTURE OF DOCTOR
lIviNST0NE.

A white man, supposed to be DR..
Livingtone, is said TO have been
captured by the natives somewhere
on the upper Congo. The story is
probable enough, because it was
known to be Livingstone's intention
to reach the Guinea Coast by route
pretty similar to the one which this
"whitc man" seems to have been fol
lowing. The Congo pursues com
paratively unknown source of about
ole thousand miles, and we are left
to conjecture the distance which DIR.
Livingstone must have traversed
since his encounter with Stanly.
Presuming that he had just crossed
the ridge which forms the backbone
of Southern Africa, and from which
the Zambezi begins its long South
ern, and the Congo its almost equal
ly long Northwestern course, he
must have been about 1000 miles
distant from where he was
last -"discovered." No European
traveller has ever penetrated the re-
gion which the English explorer
would seem to have traversed, and
since Ladislaus, the Magyar, explor
ed the sources of the Rambesi, some
twenty years ago. there has, we
think, been no white man in the re-
gion where it is presumed the ma
tives have LAID hold of Livingstone.

IRON CASTING.

The largest peice of iron casting
ever made west of the Alleghenies
is now in course of construction at
St. Louis. 1t is an immense iron
bed plate, eighteen feet long. nine
feet wide, and seven and hall
inches thick, weighing between for
ty-four and forty-five thousand
pounds. 1t is made for the Platin
Creek Plate Glass Company, and it
will be used as the bed upon which
the molten glass will lie rolled out
into smooth plates.

CASE OF CONSCIENCE.

A complicated case of conscience
is reported in an Ohio newspaper.
Seventeen years ago smart lad in
Wood county sold to buyer of fur
q black cat skin with a minks tail
sewed to it, receiving for it 81 25,
the value of a genuine mink skin.
Years rolled on, as the story tellers
say. The acute boy became a man
and a member of a church. But
that cat skin laid heavily on his
soul, and no peace for his troubled
conscience could he find until he
had refunded with interest the mon
ey of the swindle furrier. The re-
pentant man paid principal and in
terest, amounting to So 60. But it
appears that the dealer sold the
skin rs that of mink for So. As
he cannot find the purchaser restitu-
is impossible, and what he can prop
erly do with the So 60 it would take
a pretty sharp casuist to determine.

sLscI,Ne THE PRESIDENT.

The Pittsburg Gazette says the
evils of our electoral system have
been so frequently adverted to that
there is no special necessity for
specifying them. They have been
so keenly felt since the last Presi-
dental election when certain posi-
bilities were fully disclosed, that
committee was constituted by the
United States Senate to consider
what changes can be made. This
committee has been in session in
New York, and is reported to have
concluded that it is necessary to
abolish the Electoral College, and
have the President and Vice Presi-
dent elected directly by the votes of
the people. But to our mind, the
details of the plan show that it
merely substitutes one form of Elec-
torial College fora mother. Thepres-
ent system is to nominate Presi-
Dental electors, usually as many as
there are Congressional and Sena-
toral districts. The proposed plan
is to have Presidential voters,-each
State to have as many as there are
Congressional and Senatorial dis
tricts. The only difference will be,
that in place of the Electoral Col
lege, something else will be substi
tuted. But inasmuch as those Presi-
deE tial voters are to determine the
result, it is evident that the people
will vote no more directly under the
proposed system than they do now.
Nor will the President be elected
by the popular vote more than he
now is.
The objections to the Electoral
College, among others, are that it
does not always represent the popu
lar vote. Yet, substantially, it has
done so. Lincoln, for example, did
not have, at his first election, a ma
jority Of the popular vote,yet he had
a plurality vote, and a majority in
the Electoral College. So the Col
lege really carried out the will of the
people. This illustrates possibili-
ty however,that is regarded as dan
gerous. Suppose, for example, a
certain candidate were to carry sew
eral States by majorities so large
that, with the vote received by him
in States he did not carry,he should
have an actual majority on the pop
ular vote. But the States carried by
his competitor were large States,
and possessed of large electoral
vote. We can readily see that the
man in the minority on the popular
vote might readily be elected. But
all this is not changed, SO far as we
can see, by the new plan. Whether
it will eliminate the danger suppos-
ed to be involved in case of the death
of candidate remains to be seen
Enough has not been disclosed to
base judgement upon as regards
this point.

A DARwINIAN SUGGESTION.

Max Adeler, in the Boston cour-
ier, remarks:
1--WE are engaged now in develop
ing a scheme for growing kid gloves
upon the original animal. Our old
friend Darwin teaches us that you
can do almost anything with breeds
by judicious selection" and we are
convinced that, with a little care, it
will be possible to produce a beast
whose skin, when stripped of, will
make a seamless kid glove. Our
first experiments are with lizards. A
lizard has four legs and tail. Now
We believe that eventually the off
fore leg can be developed into q
thumb, while the three other legs
and the tail can be arranged as fin
gers. We are crossing lizards with
short tails with those of long legs,
and we are now looking around for
variety of lizards with button or
two around his neck, for the pur
pose of breeding it in with the 9th
ers, whose eyes will answer for but
ton holes. The ultimate mate re.
suit promises to be startling. 1t
will break up the old glove trade
and drive Jouvin to suicide. Thus
it is that human ingenuity advances
human civilization"
Michigan is laboring with the
question of jury reform. Its present
proposition is'to authorize a FIVE
sixth verdict in criminal cases; that
is, to make verdict of ten of the
jury sufficient to convict, instead of
twelve. The proposition strikes us
as more original than wise. 1t does
not strike at the root of the evil of
the present jury system. The two
main troubles are the quality of the
juries impaneled, and their disincli-
nation to receive and net upon any
advice from the bench.
