BLOWING OUT A KEROSENE LAMP
A very common method of extingutsh-

Visible and then blown down t. . CHM
ney. This Is most dangerous prac-
tice, being very frequently the cause
OF explosion. People who use kero-

rule never to attempt to extinguish a
lighted lamp, In that way. 1t Is just
as nasy to blow into tho lower end of
the chimney as the top, except that tho
person blowing is required to stoop a
little to do 1t. But the best way to ex-
tlnguish the light is this; Turn the
light up to full height. Then with
your mouth upon Il level with the top
Of tho chimney, and about foot or
more from 1t, blow horizontally over
the top and tho light will 60 out in
stantly. Tho blowing draws the mir
from tho chimney, and without air
combustion cannot he sustained; hence
the light goes out.

nor. He charged home to the Re-

pie for years, that the policy Of the

Hon. John e. Kenna.

This gentleman, who is the Demo.
cratic nominee for Congress in this
District, addressed the citizens of
this place and vicinity, at the Court
House, Monday night. Notwith-
stardingthe inclemency of the wealth
or, and the heavy rain at the time,
he had o full house to listen to him.
He started out first to correct some
Of the falsehoods that had been cir
culated over the District about him
by his enemies, which he did in a
satisfactory manner TO all. Then he
proceeded to give an account Of his
stewardship while in Congress; then
spoke at some length upon National
andStateis issues. His speech through
out was forcible and convincing, and
won for him many votes, as will be
shown in November.
We are gratified to state that our
nominee for Congress is growing in
favor with the people every day
From all over the District comes the
news that the Democracy are conf.
dent Of his reelection by a much
larger majority than that of two
years ago. Kanawha county, which
gave Walker his largest majority
two years ago, it is believed, will not
give him this year over two hundred
majority. Mason, which gave Walk
er at the last election over FIVE hun
dred majority, will this year give
Mr.. Kenna majority. The opposi-
tion majority in Putnam will be al
most entirely swept away this year
in the Congressional vote. Altogeth-
er the news is most cheering for our
success in the District. Everywhere,
IN every county, the Democrats are
making hard fight, and are united
to q man. Our prediction is that
Kenna will beat Walker for Congress,
over five thousand votes.
Mr.. Simpson also made a speech of
about half an hours length, which
was said by all to be one of the finest
efforts of his life.

Because, they have required sher-

from the payment of hundreds of
thousands of dollars.
Because, under Democratic rule,

Because, all the public institutions
of the State under Democratic rule
have been managed in an economi

Editor Register The most laugha-

Messrs. Sehon and Polsley very cour-
teously condensed their speeches so
as to allow the Doctor a reasonable
time to reply, to be followed by Mr..
Spencer.
The Doctor took the floor when his
turn came and INDUCED the audience
for an hour and a half with q wild
piece Of defamation, examining from
a constitutional standpoint the doc
trine of Secession, and other ques.
tons Of like nature. After he had
concluded it was SO late that Mr..
Spencer had only a short time to re.
ply. He made the best use of his
time, however, and very efectually
laid bare the heresies of the Green
back party and the inconsistent rec.
ord Of the Doctor and his adherents
upon the questions and issues of the
day.
1t might be in order to remark
that the Doctor will be showed I'm.

Whatit Means.

The following from an exchange is
as applicable to Mason county, as to
the locality for which it was written.
The paper says: 1t is known fact
that since 1870 the Republican party
in this State has not been so well or
ganized as it is now. They have the
name of every Republican carefully
listed, and each one is seen person
ally. Even in counties in which
there are only small handful Of
Republicans this system is carried
out; and besides all this they are lib.
orally supplied with money to aid
them in their enterprise. Now all
this means something. They have
not the slightest chance of carrying
the State and they well know it; but
their purpose is 10 here and there
gain q member Of the Legislature
with the hope of getting control of
that body, and thereby elect Re-
publican United States Senator in
the place of Hereford. That is their
sole object. Democrats will you
allow them to accomplish their pur-
pose? If you remain idle you will
do it. If you listen to their propo-
sitions to trade on our Legislative
ticket the work will be done SO far
as this county is concerned. But in
order to achieve a grand and glorious
victory in October, such o victory as
will send joy to all the hearts of the
Democrats all over this Union, go to
work at once, organize your clubs,
see that your n0ighbor is interested,
turn out and hear your speakers, and
do your utmost to get out every Dem
ocratic vote at the election. Your
enemies will do it TO a man, and will
you remain idle? Let every Demo
crat renew his faith and see how
much good he can do for his party
between now and the election. There
is no time to be lost. Work to be
done effectually must be begun now
and continued until the going down
of the sun Oh election day.. Demo,
Gratis do your duty.

The laboring men of the county
know who their friend is, they know
that Judge Redmond is the man, and
don't propose throwing their votes
Tribune-Monitor.
Will the 1'wbune-M onitor point out
a single instance where Mr.. Red
mond ever proved himself the friend
of the laboring men? Is it because
he happens to be manager of q Salt
Furnace, and pays the men who
work for the Company in cash, on
pay.days? Does he deserve any par
ticular credit for paying the men
who work for his Company? Are the
men who work for his Company un.
der any obligations to him because he
pays them for their work? What do
men work for, if it is not for money?
The silliest thing we ever heard of,
is trying to make political capital
out of the fact that a iaan pays his
men who work for him. About ev-
erybody who employ men do that,
and those who don't do so are not
likely to have many men working
for them. We do not give Mr.. Red
mond any particular credit for doing
that which everybody else does who
employs labor.

This must be our motto if we would
win. Be not guiled into fancied
security BY political surprise, how
ever pleasant. There are two sides
to every coin. Though you turn up
head unexpectedly, you must not
imagine that head will necessarily
continue to win. The result in
Maine, rightly considered, is only
an incentive to harder work in In.
diana for both parties, and be sure
that the Radicals so consider it,
They will spare neither men, money,
mendacity, nor any other political
leverage to capture that-to them
vital State. The tone of the Radi-
cal organs already sufficiently indi-
Gates that they regard the Maine re.
suit as n "lesson," and they will be
quick to profit by it. Then let us
not fiatter ourselves that we have an
easy victory before us, because of the
momentary panic of our political
foes. They will rally and rally
quickly, and it behooves us more than
ever to make strong fight in the
West.
Enthusiasm is well enough, but
work, work, work, is what will tell;
and this the Democratic party must
not for moment forget.

1t is mistake, as we have before
pointed out, to suppose that ma
jority Of the Union soldiers are going
to vote for Garfield in preference to
General Hancock. The Republican
organs have way of claiming that
the Democrats Of the North were OPP
posed to the war and thus endeavor-
ed to thwart the heroic efforts of the
poor Republican soldiers in the field.
The truth of the matter is, however,
that the Union soldiers were almost
altogether Democrats and even the
substitutes sent to the field by Re.
publicans were Democrats. The ma
jority of the Northern States having
been under Republican contol at the
outbreak of the war, their Governors,
of course, as did the Republican Adj
ministration of Mr.. Lincoln, COM
missioned Republicans as officers;
but the privates of the armies of the
Union were twenty to one Democrats.
These are all Democrats still, it is to
be presumed, and there is no doubt
that they will vote for Hancock and
English. iii
