An old resident Of Natchitoches,
La, is the possessor of one Of the
three original copper cents, submitted
TO General Washington for his appro.
val, as national currency in 1888.
Upon one side around the border are
the words. "Unity Of States" upon
the other a medallion head of the
Father ofhis Country, with the words,
Washington and Independence" IL
is the coin of which the adoption was
rejected by him with the remark that
"this was the peoples country, and
not Washingtons." The sentiment
was as noble as it was modest. To
whom the country belongs now is an
other question. Nominally the pos.
session of the people, they have real
ly but little to do with the admins
tration Of its affairs. IL is only the
Fourth Of July orators who indulge
in the sentimentalism that the people
of this country are its sovereigns. II
belonged TO Grant for eight years; it
was kidnapped in 1876 and went with
out an owner; it belonged to Presi-
dent Garfield from the time he was
shot until the final scene at Elberon,
and then it passed into the hands of
the Cameron.Arthur syndicate. What
is to become of it finally. and wheth.
err the chain of title will ever be so
unsnarled as to vest at least a rever-
sionary interest in the hands of the
people, are queries that time alone,
with the assistance of the democratic
party can solve. - Washington Post

Richnnf Reid

Richard Reid was nominated for
Judge of the Superior Court by the
Democratic Convention which met at
Lexington on Wednesday last. The
successful candidate is about forty
three years of age, native of Scott
county, educated in Kentucky schools
and at the Georgetown College. He
is a good lawyer, a man ofcultivation,
who wears a clean shirt, with no hab
IFS that degrade him, an honest man in
personal transactions, who does not
need the office or seek it merely for the
money that is in it, and whose name is
not so covered with filth that he re-
quires a packed convention to give
him fictitious character and a spuri-
Gus Importance. He fairly won the
nomination for Judge of the Court Of
Appeals in 1879, but was robbed OF
his victory by fraud accompanied by
circumstances that looked like bride.
ry. He will make a good Judge and
we hope may be elected without oppo'
sition. For one we shall support him
right heartily Maysville Eagle.

The innovation of the Pennsylvania
Railway in its fast trains between New
York and Chicago suggests comparis-
ons with lines abroad. The famous
Flying Dutchman on the Great West
ern Railroad, England, makes the run
from London to Exeter, 1874 miles, in
four hours and fourteen minutes.
With four stops il attains a speed Of
almost 46 miles an hour. A train on
the Great Northern Road makes the
distance from London TO Leeds, 1877
miles, in four hours-almost AZ miles
an hour, with four stops. The train
carrying the Irish mail to Iolyhead,
over the London and Northwestern
line, aud dubbed "The Wild Irish.
man, has now sunk into comparative
obscurity with its rate of little less
than 40 miles an hour. The morning
express on the Great Northern Road
makes only four stops along the line
from London to Edinburgh, 395
miles, and flies over the whole distance
in nine hours. with an average rate of
"A miles an hour; and on the Midland
line the night Scotch express runs the
425 miles to Glasgow with a speed Of
40i miles an hour. These are the
four swittest trains in England, and,
as will be seen, the Leeds express,
with its rate of AZ miles an hour, is
the feetest of them all. Three out of
the four trains probably beat the run
ming time for the same distance on
any other roads in the world. They
are all, however, far outstripped for a
shorter distance by the train on the
Pennsylvania Railroad, which leaves
Jersey City at 4:10P. NJ, and makes
the run of SO miles to Philadelphia in
100 minutes, with one stop atTrenton.
The 52S miles an hour made by this
American train is probably without
parallel in the schedule time of any
railroad company on the globe. On
both the American and English rail-
roads it must also be remem bered that
for short stretches of straight track,
with good roads and favoring grades,
II speed Of 60 miles is not very un-
common. = National Car Builder.

A number Of our ablest statesmen
have devoted much of their time "a
the production Of essays and the prep
aration Of measures intended 10 sim.
pity the election of Presidents and
Vice Presidents Of the United States;
but all OF them have grappled wi tn
the subject rs IL il was so abstruse
that only some complicated machine
ry could reduce it 10 practical and
Just results. This has been the com
mon error OF all our statesmen who
have attempted to provide against the
defeat Of the popular will in the choice
of a President, either by the legiti-
mate use or by the perversion of the
Electoral College system.
The Electoral College system is a
cnmbrous machine that is liable TO de.
feat the expression Of the people even
with honest direction, and opens the
way for the successful employment of
chicanery or fraud. The jefferson
Burr contest of 1901, the jackson.
Adams. Crawford contest of 1925 and
the Tilden-Hayes contest Of 1876 all
stand as inger-boards TO admonish the
American people Of the absolute fail
ure of the Electoral College system
and the possibly Of perverting il 10
the meanest aims OF mean ambition.
II is not pretended that any of the
purposes which were intended by the
fathers of the Republic in creating
the Electoral College, have been full.
filled. Instead Of Presidential Elect
ors exercising sound and patriotic
discretion in the choice of a Presiden
and Vice President, our Presidential
Electors are the mere puppets of par
ty, and IL would now cost any one his
life il he were 10 exercise his own
discretion, however Just aud patriotic,
and thereby elect President against
the wishes of his party. The Electo-
raj College system is, therefore, use
less and dangerous circumlocution,
and it is the duty Of the best states
manship Of all parties to unite for It's
overthrow.
There is a simple and just method
by which the people could elect Pres
idents without more than II 1.-THE ofthe
debauchery and decentralization which
are now common in such contests and
that is for the people Of the whole
Union TO vote directly for President
and Vice.President, with judicious
safeguards for the determination of
the legal vote Of each State, and de-
clare the men elected who receive the
largest number Of votes. There is no
reason why government Of the
people. by the people and for the
people should have cumbersome cleo
,oral machinery that can accomplish
nothing beyond the possibility of de-
ieating the popular choice; and there
can be no reason, TO forbid direct
vote for our highest offices or the
commission of those who receive the
largest popular support from the peo-
pie OF the entire nation. Such n sys-
TEN Of electing Presidents and Vice
Presidents would end the corruption
and decentralization which run riot in
Ohio, Indiana and other pivotal
States in Presidential contests, and il
would make a Democratic vote in
Vermont or Republican vote in Mis-
sissippi as important as any other vote
in any other State. The very best
system of electing Presidents is the
simplest system-a direct vote for
the candidate and the highest popular
vote to elect. - Philadelphia Times.

AN AUTOGRAPH QUTLT.-A Lead

the line of an autograph quilt, which
she proposes to rattle off for the benefi t
of Mrs Sam Townsend the widow of
the officer shot the other day. She
has sent square of cloth to all the
American celebrities, with the request
that they return the same with thei T
autograph and a sentiment endorsed
thereon. The result has been quite
flattering, and she has amassed already
quite a collection. Some of the re-
turns have been witty, and some
fraught with good common sense. -

The sponge divers along the Florida
coast have begun TO adopt an innova-
ton that may work great change in
their business. This is the artificial
propagation of sponges. 1t has been
found that this can be done by cutting
the live sponge into small pieces,
attaching them to small pieces of rock
and sinking them to proper depths
in suitable locations. In three years
each piece will attain a marketable
size.

As if money enough has not been
voted away 10 pensioners, the House
has passed another one of these little
bills giving a pension of $40 month
10 sailors or soldiers who lost an arm
or leg in the service of the United
States. 1t is alleged that this gratui-
ty will add 81 600, 900 to the pension
list a year. Ii will be safe TO multiply
that by ten, judging from the exper-
fence the country has had with the
Arrearages Bill. This pension appro

A method employed in France,
which converts cider or other liquids
into vinegar much more expeditiously
than do ordinary practices, prefaces
the process with preparing the barrels
or casks by first scalding with water
and next pouring into them boiling
vinegar, rolling the barrels and allow.
ing them to stand on their sides two
or three days, until they become thor.
oughly saturated with the vinegar.
This preparation over. the barrels are
filled about one.third full with strong,
pure vinegar and two gallons Of cider
Every eight days thereafter two gal
Ions of cider are added until the bar
rel is two.thirds full. In fourteen
days after the last two gallons are
added the whole will have been con-
verted into vinegar, one third Of which
is drawn oil and the process of filling
with cider begun again. In Summer
the barrels during the process of con-
version are exposed to the rays of the
sun, and in cold weather are stored
where uniform temperature of about
eighty degrees can be maintained.
