All About the Pulse.

Every intelligent person should know
how to ascertain the state of the pulse in
health then by comparing it with what it
was when he was ailing he may have some
idea of the case. Parents should know
the healthy pulse of each child, as now and
then a person is born with a remarkably
slow or fast pulse, and the very case in
hand may be of that peculiarity. An in
fants pulse is 140; child Of seven years,
about 80; and from twenty to sixty years,
it is 70 beats minute, declining to go at
fourscore. A healthful grown PERSONS
pulse beats 70 times minute. There may
be good health down to 60; tif the pulse
always exceeds 70 there is disease. The
machine is working itself out; there is
fever and inflammation somewhere, and the
body is feeding on itself-as in consump-
ton, when the pulse is quick, that is, over
60, gradually increasing with decreased
chances of cure, until it reaches 11O or 120
when death comes before many days
When the pulse is over 70 for months, ant
there is slight cough, the lungs ar
affected.

For the Press.
The New Lexington Tribune can boast
of correspondent who is a liar and
thief, for he reports that which is false and
tries to steal the good name from our town.
The exhibition at our Fair, which he
makes special drive at, was, as far as we
can learn from reports of other. Fairs
throughout our State above the average
The attendance was not as large as usual,
which is easily explained by the delay in
harvesting the corn crop, and seeding the
wheat. The business of the Fair was con-
Quoted by the officers and employees in a
thorough manner. The books are in per-
feet order instead of confusion, and chaos,
we think, existed only in the mind OF the
whifet Alaska. The premiums awarded
will be published in a short time, and pa ID
to the exhibitors promptly thereafter. The
vengeful malice of fend could not dc
more to injure Somerset and destroy ar
institution which our mobiles citizens have
fostering and devotins time and money! beer
which this dog Alaska has not done.

Government and Labor.

The New York Herald, in speaking of
the Congressional Committee on Labor,
says:
"The workingmen ought to understand
that they can help themselves and that the
Government can not help them
This sentence has been SO often reiter-
ated by newspapers and statesmen that we
fear It has made some impression on work
ingmen, whom long hours, overwork and
low wages prevent from thinking the mat
ter out for themselves. Have not pro-
ducers the making of the government?
All the newspapers and state men will
admit that they have. If producers, ,hen
have the making of the government, what
but the knayery of millionaires or states
men can prevent them from making the
government TO hel p themselves? 1t is not
necessary that man or class be pampered.
But if the government be of the kind that
will establish economical justice no man
shall be in want. II the majority want a
Labor Government they have only to vote
for it,
Strictly speaking, it is not "help" that
workingmen want, it is justice they want,
and it Is through Government, and only
through Government, that this justice can
be had. Even the Herald will admit this !;
but that paper is SO unprincipled that,
when unable to refute an economical truth,
il denies that 1t is a truth although it may
admit half a-dozen times in the same arti-
Gle that what it denied at the outset is
true.
But you need not expect honest argu-
ment in al unprincipled newspaper any
more than you need expect honesty in an
unprincipled man. Therefore, when either
| without principle or newspapers without
principle they have any public influence
| they are all the more dangerous, and every
good man will strive to neutralize such in
fuence.
In no other way can labor's rights be
gained but by electing practical men who
will pass laws abolishing interest on money
and monopoly of land, and let it be always
understood that any man who occupies
more than citizen share is a monopolis.
for all have an equal right to the land.
"The earth He hath given to the childrer
of men," that is the children of all meI
during their natural lives. 1t is not {
privilege, but their birth-right. From i
who in any way deprives fellow being o
his portion is simply robber. When
workingmen come to understand that they
are deprived of consta employment by
unjust land laws and unjust money laws
and that when they do not get few week
or few months of constant work, they are
robbed of the products of their labor by
those same iniquitous laws, they will make
a government which will strike down thos
monoplies and establish economic justice
If the present Government does not he'll
US, let us make one that will, for in thi
country the Government is what we the
people make it.

P. II. King as a Business Man.

Several years ago while settling up the
estate of A. Boyer, of Thorn township,
P. H. King earnestly requested me to en-
ploy him as clerk on the day Of sale, assur-
ing me that he knew how and would do it
right Now mark the result of my en-
ploying this man of wisdom and honesty.
While acting in the capacity of clerk, he
gave Mrs. Jacob Anspach two dollars in
counterfeit money a. change. When she
demanded good money from HIM for it he
refused, but wrote :. nu:, for her to bring
to me in which he advI~ei me 10 give her
good money, saying the estate would lose
it. gave her the money and lost it my
self an acconnt OF Kings igornnce or
ra<caity, and when 50 him about it he
said, You are not Old enough to do bnsI-
ness, ! would have made an extra charge
on the estate Il cover the two dollars.
This is only one specimen of the business
capacity Of the Democratic candidate for
Probate Judge. Straws show the way the
wind blows, and it may easily be seen how
P. II. King, if elected, Will take care Of
the interests and property OF the poor
widows and orphans of our county.
] have a notion to tell how he got to be
administrator of the estate of Joshua
Foster Jas. WalmiTe says Foster sent FOX
him to come and write his will, and while
he (Walmire) was spending few minutes
in convention with the family, King came
there and slipped into the dying mans
room and locked the door, and after
remaining some time in the room, came
out with the will prepared by himself, and
said he would go and get it witnessed and
then it would be all right mot knoping tina
the witnesses must be present to make i
VALID.

township (Thorn) declare they would no
vote for him, and have meyer heard on
who knows him personally say he acoult

Ed. PRESS:
Dear Sir: DR.. L. F. McKenna, of
junction City, Perry County, o., has de-
clined to accept any of the challenges made
in the past by me to discuss the subject of
medicine, for various reasons.
The following are substantially the
main ones, as stated to me personally by
him
I. "That he had not time to prepare
himself for public debate"
ii. "That it would be very difficult
matter to find three men who would give
and impartial decision"
III. That in joint debate the arguments
would not be generally known. There
fore, in order that the above difficulties
may be removed and his earnest reques
complied with, I challenge him for dis
cussion on the science of medicine Home
opathy vs.. Alopathy in which I agree +
argue in favor of Homeopathy, and sal
discussion to be made through the column
of a county paper Designated by him.
Very respectly,

In the two last issues of the PRESS
appear articles under the head of "Chroni-

may be and care not what his politics are,
but we sincerely deprecate any occasion for
such information, and at the time of said
issues of the PREss We supposed them to
be no less than false statements published
for electioneering purposes, but from the
fact Of their not having been publicly
denied, leaves the true voter unprepared as
to how he should cast his vote. Other than
of the two evils chose the least vote for the
man rather than capital or intrigue.
We ourselves are unfamiliar with the
allegations made, but the adage is that
where there is smoke there certainly is
some fire. Now we have candidates in the
field for various offices asking the suffrage
of the voters of Perry county. Would it
not be we'll for every sound thinking voter
to consider we'll who he is placing at the
head of the various departments in our
county 1t is certainly important that we
have steady, honest men, men who never
have stopped to using other than fair means
to procure their nomination regardless Of
politices or creed. This, we say, is filling
offices by the voice of the tax payers and
people and not by we'll wrought rings fol
the purpose Of gobbling up the county
funds and disbursing it at will.
