Tile recentry-clcclCd Governor of
Kentucky, james G. McCrcarY, Is not
quite forty years 0l age. lie Is II
nephew ol Senator McCreNry. llcwas
speaker of the lower house OF the
Kentucky Legislature for six years.
As regards ability and integrity, he Is
spoken of very iavorahly indeed.
What we need Is higher and
more cXacting public morality, seNrrcr
judgments upon lapScs In honorable
conduct, sharper self-critlcisin, the rIc-
walton of the tone of business conduct,
the private socioI punishment of pub
! lie offenders, and the denial TO II man
ofa leading seat in the church or In
society who does not come with clean
hands, New Albany Ledgcr-Stand'
ard, Dem.
The Dubuque Herald says it may
he laughed ut, scoilcd ut, and with
high Indignation denied, but the
events of the times ARE rs certainly
leading TO Grants denomination ~
that II Presidential election is to occur.
Nothing IL more evident in the poIit-
icnl world. He will Ice nominated 10y
the money kings of the east, without
regard to party, and receive the most
overwhelming defeat ever visited up
on Presidential candidate.
In his speech the other day in
Ohm, Mr.. Morton quoted burns:
"A king can make u belted knight,
A marquis duke and n that,
But an honest man4 abOOn Ibis might"
The Chicago Times intimates that he
would he regarded rs n very poor arti-
Gle of king who couldn't make on q
moonlight night, with his eyes shut, mn
honester man than the senior senator
from Indiana.
If ever there was time to popt-
larize free school system In Texas,
or anywhere in the South, that time is
the present.
Unless an efficient plan can be es-
tablished. it were better that the pres
ent school law be entirely repealed, ms
it seems to beget little else than coniil-
sion. expense, and uncertainty; ana
let the people rely upon themselves for
the education of their chiidren.-L Ku-

The meeting of the Old Catholic
Congress- ut Bonn on Thursday gives
evidence of the reil vitality of the
movement of DR.. Dollinger and the
favor with which it has teen received.
In spite of the great opposition from
the Roman Catholic Church, in five
wears the Old Catholics have grown
very surprisingly. In Prussia, Baden,
ITessp, Birkenfcld, Bavaria, and Wur-
temberg alone the statistics given show
9S congregations, II ,26G heads of fam.
lilies, and total of A $50 persons, and
il is estimated that complete returns
will show double that number.
Senator Morton, speaking for the
extreme Radicals, said in his speech
the other day, that "any one ut all
familiar with the evidence that has
been taken in regard to the condition
of the South during the last nine years,
must not only know that the tales told |
were generally true, but have reason
TO believe that the half was not told"
United States Attorney-General Pierre
pont, on the contrary, says "Iherc
has not been single case OF South
ern oulrages reported to this depart
ment since entered it. Up to that
moment they came regularly by mail |
and telegraph every day."
The Ohio Farmer has this cure for
ivy poison: 1t is to dissolve sugar of
lead-a bit the size of II hazelnut--in
teacup of sweet milk or warm water. |
Apply rs warm as can be easily borne
with q soft, linty piece of linen rag.
Three or fourapplications aresufiicient
to effect cure. If the poison Is on the
face and nearing the eyes or mouth,
this astringent wash may be constant
" employed. 1t is a marvellous cure,
and by watching closely, one can see
the fevered blsters turn from white to
yellow during the application. This
for ivy poison should prevent
II great deal of suffering. 1t is well
where member of the family is eas-
~ poisoned to keep sugar of lead in
the house all the time. Let IL be label
ed and kept where it can be found the
it is wanted. Keep it well
up that it may not lose its
strength.
"A Madrid dispatch states that the
Spanish government is about to SEND
ten thousand men to Cuba to enable
Valmaseda "to execute his plans for
the reduction of the Insurgents"
Spain has been doing this mt intervals
ever since the year 1869, and the in
surrecti0n is no nearer extinction
than then, but on the contrary, pre-
5ents elements of success. These are
the figures in 1869 the government
sent to Cuba "a 500 men in 1870, H.
293 in 1871, 1889; in 1872, $3.50 in
1873, l2,536 in 1874, S,ll2; and thus
tar in 1875, 6,9l6 making u total of
7S,006 soldiers, in addition to 20, $50
men on the island when the insurrec-
ton broke out. In addition to this
large number Of war vessels have !
bet u kept constantly about the Island.
War and disease have made sad havoc
In tins vast force sent to subdue the
island, not less than 81 900 men having
been los. in the fruitless attempt. 1t
looks as Ii the Chinese would subdue
the handful of Formosan savages,
with all their plumbers, sooner than
Spain will regain the pride of her ter
ritorial possessions.
