Political Points.
The Vermont Republicans are elated over
tho unusually large majority they rolled up
this year. AS the Burlington Free Press re-
marks, 1t shows that 'they have no idea OF
surrendering any ground TO the bogus Democ.
cracy."
The Bourbon majority for clerk of the
Court of Appeals In Kentucky is 1927.
While this is smaller than tho usual party ma
1ority In that State, 1t Is n significant indorse-
ment OF n man for an important office who,
his friends declared, would DO certain to have
"bilin' old racket" on the day after cleo.

The Ohio campaign will begin to warm
up this week. Appointments have been made
for number OF Republican meetings, and
many OF the best speakers in the party viii be
on tho stump. Among. those who will take
part are ex-senator Noyes, General Gibson,
Senator sherman, Governor Foster, Congress.
man Mckinley and Judge West.
Rumors of compromise between the
Republican factions in Pennsylvania arc again
rife Senator Cameron, 1t is stated, Is against
any concessions, and prefers defeat with
Beaver to victory without him. But the
other influential members OF tho party are
determined to secure harmony even at tho
risk of offending Cameron. Judge Kelley is
mentioned as good compromise candidate
for Governor.
Senator Vest, of Missouri, thinks that
any candidate for the Presidency tho Republi-
tho Democracy. "when you come to consider"
he says, shat every monopoly In this country,
all the Government ofllceholders and nine
tenths OF the newspapers are against us, 1t Is
simply u miracle that the Democratic party
has any existence Mt all. We have the votes,
but they amt counted"
Some enemies of Congressman Davis, of
the Third Chicago District, have been trying

nomination by circulating reports that no had
been unclvil TO prisoners OF war applying for
pensions. Mr.. Davis asked for n hearing, and
at large meeting of the Veterans no refuted
the charge 80 completely that q resolution
censuring him, which had been introduced at
q previous meeting, was unanimously re-
jected.
The Democrats are disturbed over the
situation IN the Congressional districts In
Kentucky. Congressman Carlisle admits that
the Republicans will probably have three
Representatives from the State In the next
House. Tho prospects Of carrying the Third
other district will doubtless be redeemed
from the Democrats. II John d. White also
succeeds In getting reelected the Kentucky
Republicans Will make respectable showing
In numbers in the next Congress.
Congressman Lynch, of the famous "Shoe-
string" District, has challenged his Demo.
cratic opponent to q Joint discussion. The
gorrymandered by tho Democratic Legislature
last winter, but Mr.. Lynch expresses contl-
dence In his reelection. Tho Democratic can

A LITTLE Boys GOODNESS.

The suit of William O'Connor against the
Boston Il Lowell Railroad at Lawrence has
resulted in verdict for the plaintiff in &c.
600, one-half the amount sued for. This
suit grew out of an accident which occurred
August 26, 1880. The plaintiff was the
father Of . child between and 6 years old.
He and his brother, three years older, were
crossing private way maintained by the
railroad for the Essex Company, and the
younger boy, while walking backward, step
ped between the rail and the planking of
the ioadway in side and was unable to extri-
cate his foot. At that moment the whistle
of train was heard within few hundred
feet and out Of sight around curve, and it
appeared from the evidence that the older
brother, finding himself unable to relieve his
brother, ran down the track toward the
train; but finding he could not attract the
attention of the trainmen to his brothers.
condition, and that he must be run over,
ran back to him, and, telling him to lie
down, pulled him outward and down and
held him there until the train had passed
Both feet of the little fellow were cut off or
mangled 20 that amputation was necessary.
The theory Of the defense was that the boy
was not caught but while running across
the track, fell and was run over. But the
testimony Of the older brother was mistaken
In every particular. It would be difficult to
match the nerve, thoughtfulness, and disre-
gard Of self displayed by this boy, who at
that time was less than . years old. Boston

The Farmers and the Literary Revolution.
A recent issue of the American Agri-
culturist contains some insinuations re-
fiecting upon the character of the Useful
knowledge Publishing Company, of New
York. They are insinuations only, no
direct allegations being made. Their
only foundation is malice and fear, on the
part of the Agriculturist publishers. The
average cost of books published by the
Useful knowledge Publishing Company,
in proportion to their real value is less
than one-fifth of the average cost of the
agricultural works published by the
Orange Judd Co. Within less than three
years the Literary Revolution gave
the American people over one million
dollars worth of the choicest books the
country has ever seen more in bnlk and
real value than Judd has given them IN a
third of century, and more than he
would have given them for Eve million
dollars. No class is abused more abom-
inably by the book publishers than the

barefooted boy, driving an x-breaking
team through the hazel-brush and prairie
grass OF Iowa, and reading Grimshaw's
England" and the New York Tri-
bune,' between times and by the freight
at night, and got there a little too much
of Useful knowledge and of strength
to allow baseless SANDER to overthrow the
enterprise TO which have given my life.
Judd shall realize his fear that the Useful
knowledge Publishing Company will pub
lish agricultural books as well as other
books, and it will not charge 81 so for a
book that it does not cost fifteen cents to
manufacture. In response to pressing
and almost distressing calls from all over
the country, from farmers, farmers boys
and teachers, it will also enter the field of
school. book publishing presently, and we
shall see what will become of the high
prices of the rich and grasping publishers
in that field. The Useful knowledge
Publishing Company does what Judd,
and no other of the old-line publishers do,
it sends its books to any part of the
United States, and allows privilege of ex-
animation before payment is required. 1t
supplies its agents with copies of its cheap
and beautiful publications for distribution
among their customers, for examination
at their leisure, and allows the return of
any books not wanted. Specimen pages
of its publications, catalogues, and terms
to club agents, booksellers, and canvassers
will be sent free upon application. Ad-

The Beacon of last week, in an article
headed "Crank," infers that we are
"mad," and calls us an animal" etc.
Now the language employed is altogether
too coarse for any gentleman of aesthetic
culture. 1t sounds little like blast
from the cast iron cannon but the
absence Of ideas in it, and the free use of
slang phrases, evidence that the so-called
edition of The Beacon got up the piece.
But, he shouldn't infer" so much.
differences are dangerous. For instance,
when the editor of The Beacon engages in
a game of "loo" and soon afterwards
goes into a beer saloon, it might be in
ferred that he had been pitching pennies
for drinks !; yet that inference might be
incorrect. differences are dangerous.
Don't Infer" too much.
