Ratification.

The executive committee settled
the question Of a mass-meeting with
the acquiescence of everybody by
simply taking a vote upon it, when
it was carried by a tie vote, the
chairman casting Shis vote for a
mass-meeting. The question once
decided, everybody was satisfied
with the decision las they would
have been had 1t gone the other
wsy) and the whole attention of the
committee has since been given TO
a rOusing ratification meeting. Let
all the=cOunty be in Elders hall on
Monday. The best Of speakers are
including OVr favorite ora
tor, John F. House.
Now that the whole north is COM
ing round to the democratic party,
it will never do for the south to cool
on them.

we forgave them; and we can no
more try to clip their wings to make
them less free than we can restore
the broken letters of the slave laid
deep under the ocean of emancipa-
ton. Soon the south will be on a
new trial, and as Hancock will be
elected by the votes of many tiious-
ands of republicans like myself, the
south will have no more interest in
bad faith than he will have inclina-
ton to permit it.

and will have no more effect than
if it were employed to scandalize
the dead President JOhnsohn or the
dead Secretary Stanton. 1t is like
the attempt to say that his nomina-
ton is his surrender to the south he
conquered, which would be like
saying that when a great soldier re-
ceives the highest hOnOrs from
those he had taken prisoners in bat
tie, he has become their prisoner in
turn. Considering that we republic
cans have been trying to get the
south to support our candidates for
the last fifteen years this logic is
very lame indeed.
Gen. Hancock Is the favorite son
of Pennsylvania, and comes before
the people Of his native state with
an exceptional record. He Is the
candidate Of i party with whole
people at his back. His fifty-seven
years are clOuded by no political
animOsity or defeat. No man has
gathered more friends around his
example. At his home i'm Mont

republican criticism ground arms

The Interior Deu,rtment-

Secretary Schurz has made his annual report
and a very exhaustive document it is. It re-
views his entire four years' services in that
department. Among other things, he says:
During the present Administration, the agri-
cultural labor of the Indians has been more
than doubled in quantity and value. The fig
ures show that the civilized and uncivilized
tribes together cultivated last year 472, 73e
acres of land, or about IL acres to each man,
woman and child, upon an estimate that the
total Indian population of the country is ESQ.,
000." Secretary Schurz expresses q firm belief
that the agricultural industry of the Indians
would be greatly stimulated, and its product
much increased, if assurance were given to
them, that they will be secured in the possession
of their lands. The desire and purpose of the
department is to largely increase the present
small humble of Industrial Boarding Schools
for Indian youth, as day schools at agencies
do not withdraw pupils from influences OF
home surroundings sufficiently to facilitate Q
change in their habits of daily life. Secretary
Schurz remarks that experience has strength.
ened his conviction (Which, as this is his last
report, he now feels at greater liberty to er.
press) that the management of Indian AFFAIR."
should continue to be intrusted to the civil and
not to the military braach OF the public service
His argument on this topic has been fully fore
Swallowed in former annual reports. Referring
to measures instituted by the department tx
put a stop to depredations on public timbel
lands, the Secretary reports they have bee,
highly successful. During the past three year
and upwards $240, 600 has been turned into tn,
Treasury as the result Of keeping the depart
ment's special agents in. the field to detect anS
prosecute wholesale timber trespassers anc
illicit cutting and transportation of timbe
from the public lands along our coasts, which
had grown to an enormous yearly aggregate
but has been almost entirely arrested. TIL
Secretary again urges upon the attention o
Congress the great desirabi!ity of enacting law
to provide for the proper preservation of on
forests by preventing the reckless waste whicI
now attends the cutting of timber in man
parts of the country without restraint.

Protection Against Lightning.

A correspondent writing to the Journal
of T~elegraphy argues that the connec-
ton Of lightning rods with the ground
should be enlarged in the proportion
that the rod is a better conductor than
the ground. This would require an
enormous expansion of the rod under
ground, but we have long been convinced
that this is the point at which lightning
rods generally fail to protect. The same
writer says: cater thirty years observa-
ton, I have never known of q case where
the occupants of o house were injured
when the building was fitted with gas or
water pipes. The buildings are sometimes
set OF fire by the electricity passing from
the rod, or metal roof to the gas or
water pipes, but without injury to any
person below the highest point to which
these pipes extend" He adds in o
clusion: "Gas and water pipes are the
best lightning rods eve erected, because
they are in perfect electric connection
withthe earth" We may add-ightning
rods should, when possible, be connected
with gas and water tubes. If neither are
used in the building, the connection
should be made with the mains in the
street, if in a city where gas mains are
laid. An extensive ground connection is
the point to be gained to insure safety

A Noble Example.

Mrs. Robert L. Stuart is at the head
of the cooking school. What a noble
example this woman gives the public!
Her husband is worth 81, 900, 900, but
this does not relieve her of the claims of
duty. She takes an interest in social
advance, and therefore lends her influence
to the improvement of the culinary art.
The Stuarts have always been a useful
family, and though limited to two genera
tions, they have done enough to immor-
talize the name. The father came from
Edinburg a bankrupt in purse, fleeing
from his creditors, but rich in purpose
and courage. He opened a cent candy
shop and worked fifteen hours a day,
until the creditors were paid in full. The
amount was G1, 800, equal to $500, but
money was then worth double its present
value. The sons inherited the business,
which they made immensely profitable,
and they shared their profits literally
with objects of benevolence. They have
been among the leading philanthropists
of the day, and their ~benefactions in the
aggregate are probably more than a
million. Mrs. Stuart now gives what is
really of more value than money, when
she takes the presidency of a cooking
school. This feature in education has
been sadly neglected, and it is time a
reformation took place.-NeW York Cor.

4 SfrnnRa HuIcIda-

Suicides are an ordinary thing, but OCCASION
ally one occurs that is more remarkable than
another. MIR. Hayden II. Shouse, a talented
young lawyer Of Henderson, KY, and at one
time Commemorative Attorney in that Dis
trict, after n protracted spree in Louisville,
suicided by taking morphine. The day prior
to the act he had been gaml ling heavily, and
lost $1,000. Returning to the hotel, he Dor
rowed So of the clerk, bought morphine, got
shaved, hair cut and shampooed, BACKED his
boots, and prepared all his clothing for death.
He then addressed a letter to the hotel clerk in
the following Language: 'FR1END LEM-Imme-
dlately after the discovery of my death get a
coffin, and have me shipped by the first train to
Henderson, and telegraph my death and ship
ment at once to S. B.. Vance, 521 Upper Third
street, Evansville, Ind, and tell him to meet
the corpse at Henderson. Be certain to send
me by the first possible train. 1 don't want to
rot here or en- route. Mr.. Vance or nv wife
will pay the hotel bill and all charges. Your
prompt attention will be a favor which 1 will
try to Your friend, H. H. sHoUsE.'
MIR. shouse was found in his room afterwards
In an unconscious condition, and being revived,
the doctor asked him why he wanted to die.
Said he: "Ah, that's my business" All efforts
to restore him, however, were ~fruitless, and he
died the next morning. He leaves a wife, with
whom he had always lived happily, and a four
teen-year-old boy. Just before his death the
following telegram was sent by his wife's
father: "Phil. Judge, ESQ.,, Louisville Hotel
Hayden Is q noble-hearted fellow; and ask him
to live for bis wife's and vancie's sake, s. B.

Bread.

4 large meeting lately was held at the
Town Hall, KersIngton, In England,
under the auspices Of the Bread Reform
League, to advocate the universal use of
what is technically known as ''wheat
meal bread" DR.. B. W. Richardson,
the well-known authority on hygiene,
presided. One of the speakers main
tanned that the bread in common use
was 40 per cent deficient in sustaining
qualities. An entire grain of wheat con-
tanned everything that was required for
nourishing purposes, and yet the better
half of it was wasted, and this half was
q much healthier food, especially for
children. A white loaf, in fact, was only
half o Loaf, for a large portion OF the
material that formed muscular flesh, and
nearly all that formed bone, were taken
from it. Children fed on white bread
were very liable to suffer rickety bones,
consumption, and bad teeth, because
their food did not nourish them properly.
The outward Wilderness of the flour
might be considered an outward sign of
the starvation within. One shilling's
worth of wheat meal bread contained
three times the fesh-forming, seventy
times the heat-producing, and three
times the bone-forming material to be
found in a shilling's worth of beefsteak.
DR.. Richardson maintained that if the
mothers of the United Kingdom were to
give their families whole meal, which
contained the structure of the skeleton,
in from three to four generations all the
deformities of children, not caused by
accident, which they o saw, would
pass away, as by the hands of an invisi-
Bile enchantress,
