THAT EVERLASTING SOUTH"

The republicans are endeavoring to
make it appear that the southern people
of to-day are disloyal to the union, reac-
tionary In their sentiments. and brutal
in their instincts. For these alleged
reasons they say that they are ueht to
trust with political power. The truth is
thst the south is not seeking political
powder. What it really desires is to be
freed from the domination OF q party
which is hostile to 1t as a section. For
this purpose it is willing to give the OIL
fees to the north. 1t is even anxious to
vote tor a union soldier for president and
for an original free-soiler for vice-presi-
dent. On the question of the loyalty OF
the south we have q witness who Is un-
~impeachable by stalwart republicans
the class that delights to wave the bloody
shirt-iu Gen. Ulysses S Grant. After

upon the reception committees, side by

"The Railroads and the People,"
Mr.. F. b. Thurber, of New York.
furnishes to the December Scribner a
paper which will be widely read, and
which bids fair to create considerable
excitement. It Is entitled '"The Rail-
roads and the people," and 1t presents
most forcibly the recent exposures Of
corruption in the great railroad mono
poles of this country. The December
number of Scribner contains also many
striking illustrative as well as literary
features. The November issue was the
largest number ever printed; 1t contain
ed one hundred and seventy pages, and
was crowded with brilliant pictures and
articles Of more than usual in terest.
The price of Scribner's Monthly is
$500 q year, and new subscribers who
begin with the November number may
secure, by the payment Of $1.00 addi-
tional, nine back numbers. containing
all of Part I. of Schuyler's now famous
serial history OF Peter the Great, OF
which Rev. Edward Eggleston recently
wrote: "It Is indeed q wonderful
story, needing no aid to the imagina-
ton TO make it one Of the most curious
in human history"
For $3.50 extra, the two richly bound
volumes Of last year may be had in con-
nection with a years subscription.
Booksellers everywhere, or the pub

The Democratic party Is dead.
So dead that political toadstools have
for years been growing from Its rotten
carcass.
Dead, and don't you forget 1t.
Dead, because Of the idiocy, imbecil-

many Of its rank and file.
Dead, because its leaders would not
walk away from the cutters, but into
them for recruits.
Dead, as God Almighty ordains that
things shall die when unfit to live.
Dead, from riding two horses-she

Dead as q mackerel four days from

IT is said that the men who own and
run the Louisiana Western Railroad
will employ no man who drinks intoxi-
eating liquors, and tha. II any Of their
employees are known to enter a drinking
saloon, unless on the railroad COM
pany's business, he is Immediately dis
charged. The same rule was always
enforced on Morgan's railroad and
steamship lines, and 1t is in force
on the ent re line of the railroad from
Orange to New Orleans. In this res
pect 1t must be confessed that this
Southern road Is very far in advance of
any that We are acquainted with in the
North. Nothing is more common than
to fnd railroad employees occasional if
not habirual drinkers, and the line Of
irresponsible intoxication is go easily

Current Thoughts.

Whatever criticism we offer on the
modes or methods of women suffragists,
no thoughtful woman who cares for the
welfare Of all women can Withhold her
gratitude from the women who, despite
indifference, ingratitude, coutumely,
and scorn, rejected and despised by
many men and as: many women, un-
flinchingly fought the great battle of
human unity and freedom, irrespective
Of sex. demanding the right of suffrage
to women in a Republic that ridiculously
boasts "that all true government is
based on the consent Of the governed -
and who have, ut last, succeeded in
securing in almost every State laws that
lift women from the degradation of
chattelage and the wrongs Of slavery to
the equal justice due to every human
creature. Let no American woman who
Is wife and mother and who, one day,
may become a widow, speak with less
than gratitude Of such women as Eliza
beth Stanton, Susan Anthony, and
Lucy Stone. Their "ways" may shock
you, but the work they have already
done for women you nor your children,
nor your children's children, can ever
repay.-Mary Clemmer In New York

Tn preference Of the people As voic-
ed BY the press Of the whole country Is
for John Sherman for our next Sena-
tor, and the conviction is daily growing
that there will be little IL any opposi
tion to his election. Governor Foster
can wait few years before taking a
higher seat and Ohio cannot afford to
dispense with the services of a man
when by practical experience he has
just become best fitted to serve her in
terests most efficiently. We feel as
sured that our legislature will not dis
regard the almost univ, rsally expressed
preference of Republicans outside the

the respect Of the opposition and will

the Senate than any other Ohio man
possibly could do.

Glad of It.

Gladf Yes, we are glad that the
Democratic party is again defeated. A
PARTY that selected clowns, Shylocks,
barterers, bummers, demagogues,
double-dealers and corruptors of the
public morals to be leaders, deserves to
be defeated. Aparty that has no new
ideas deserves to be defeated. A party
that opens its arms to embrace the dir
test thieves and most brutal, cowardly
murderers Of poor blacks and poor
Chinese, deserves to be beaten and will

The increased attention to, and sue
cessfnl growing of sorghum cane in the
West has developed the fact that sugar
can be made from the cane at a cost of
az cents per pound, plus the value of
the service Of the refiner, and that the
crop would afford net profit of SIS to
the acre. Southern planters are re-
garding with serious attention this at

expresses the belief that Southern soil,

Scientific Miscellany.

A German scientist recommends
paraffine as an efficient means Of pro-
tecting wood against damp, acids and
alkalies. The wood is fret well dried,
and then covered with q solution Of one
part of melted psrafine In six parts OF
petroleum, ether or bisulphide OF car
bon. The solvents evaporate quickly,
leaving the paraffine in the pores Of the
wood. Great care should be taken in
the use of che preparation, as all Of the
substances mentioned are especially in
fiamable.

Prof. Palmieri considers 1t proven
that great earthquakes are always pre-

quakes just as storms are now foretold,
and to issue warnings to all threatened
districts three days in advance.

A French savant has made a careful
