Selecting Candidates.
Shelby vile Commercial

This thing of a man declaring
himself a candidate for the highest
Office in the gift of the people ought
to everlastingly dam him in the eyes
of all honest, true Americans. a
man that would voluntarily do it
would do anything for place and
power, even to changing our form of
government into despotism, If he
thought he would be ruler.
There is great deal of talk just
now INDUCED in by the press 81 the
country in reference to this mans
and that mans chances. But, unfor
tunately for America, she does not
possess single man worthy the
name of statesman. There are
plenty of shrewd, wire-working pol
iticians, but as for statesmen she has
none worthy the name. Her states
men have all passed away, and we
fear she will never see their like
again.
II will be time enough when the
party assemblies in convention to
select candidate to put forward a
man to fill the presidential chair.
1t should not matter with the party
from what state he is selected, il it
is done in the interest of the whole
country and the perpetuety of good
old JeffersOnian democracy. We
should endeavor to select the ablest
man We can find in our ranks, no
matter from what state he may be.
"Is he capable? is he hOnest?"
should be the deciding question in
the matter.

"ROmance and Tragedy of Pr
oneer Life" is the latest and, I'M
questionably, the best contribution
yet made to this department of his
tory. The reader finds il wonder
fully absorbing from the first chap
ter to the last, and then there is a
powerful Impulse to go back and
read it all again. The trials and
successes of the early settlers their
wars and treaties with the Indians /;
captures, escapes, and almost mi
raculOus recOVerieS of women and
children great cOnspiraces, which
only lacked success to change the
history of the world and turn back
ward for whole century the course
of civilization upon these shores
romance, sentiment, toll, trlbula-
ton, and gigantic achievements of a
class OF brave and hardy men and
women, of whom their descen-
dants can not learn enough, will
probably never find a more com
plete and attractive record than is
supplied III the work under discus
sion.
1t is nerVOusly, yet conscientious
ly written. The narrative is in the
dramatic style, with Il thoroughly
appreciable predOminance OF that
peculiar metaphor which always
declares the writer patient stu
dent of the classics. Had not HO-
mer turned his lofty Tyre, observes
Cicero, the ValOr of Achilles had re-
manned unsung. The valOr of our
pioneers was never surpassed, and,
with another Homer to celebrate
their achievements, the grandest
epic in all literature would enrapt-
ure our age.
The sub-setting of thrilling Incl
dent in this book, hair-breadth es-
capeS, and Il thousand Cventuali-
ties, even more remarkable than
those of fiction, garnish every chap
ter, and add such reStful variety as
relieves and inspirits the mind,
while they pour into it the very
cream of historic lore. 1t must in
terest every reader, but for the
young and middle-aged American,
of either sex, the fascination of its |
pages is irresistible, and their story !
should be known to every one who |
cares to know upon what strange |
and soul-thrIlling events the fabric !
of our Western Empire is erected.
1t tells this story, and baptizes its
subject i'll the everlasting fame
which belongs to civilized liberty
in every portion of the heritage of
God.
In this commentator it would
be unfair to author and publishers
20 overlook the style i'll which the
book is produced-its beautiful
.ype and heavy, toned paper; neat
md substantial binding; and the
score of minor details which con-
ipire to make volume worthy of a
1lace upon every center table and
n every library. The publishers,
Hessr5. Jones Brothers N Co., of
are well known as pub
ishers of many of the best books
old in the past fifteen years.

Uots .bo Whole goo

The Syracuse Journal remarks
that san old timer" in the Atlantic
Constitution says that the express
sion "whole hog or none," was in
vented during the exciting cam
paign of 1856. A prominent jour-
nalist of the day, and member of
the American party, caused to be
printed the device of hog, upon
which was printed the American
ticket and the words, "vote the
whole hog !" The explanation here
given is questioned by the Cleveland
Herald, which distinctly remem-
beers the expression in common use
before the exciting campaign of
1856" Upon which the Albany Ar
gus says: "This is the origin of il:
In one of the Wing campaigns for
Clay for President, farmer came
into market, late at night, at Lex
ington, KY split hog which he
bad brought in with him To sell, in
two, hung each on the hooks above
the market stalf, lay down on the
stall and went to sleep. He awOke
in the morning to find one half the
hog stolen. He made an outcry
and expressed, with epithet, the
opinion that "a Whig' had stolen
the pork. AS nearly everyone "a
round Lexington was a Wing, that
was accepted as an insult. The man
was about to be roughly handled.
when Il bystander inquired: why
do you charge the theft on the
Wings p The farmers gruf and
instant answer was: Because, ii
ii had been a Democrat, he'd a ia
ken the whole hog-or none This
tribute to the thoroughaess of the
Kentucky Democracy was admir-
rably illustrated-by the Wing in
stance. The political successors of
the Wings have been careful to
avoid partialism in their peculat-
ions ever since.

Up in Houston county there is a
young man who has heretofore
borne the reputation of being the
wickedest fellow in that section
where he lived. A very interesting
revival took place not long ago and
much interest was manifested.
One of the ministers approached the
young man and asked if he had a
Bible and he replied negatively.
The good man advised him to buy
one and take it home and read it..
He said he had no money to throw
aWay-on Bibles. Then the minister
offered to give him one and he re-
fused to take it. He went home
and repaired to his farm. While
in the field an angry rain-cloud
came, and soon vivid flashes of
lightning began to play. around in
the neighborhOOd of the young man.
Soon q bolt came along and knocked
him winding over the cotton rows.
The falling rain-drops in his face
revived him after a few minutes,
and he proceeded toward the house,
but just before entering the gate he
received another shock which laid
him PROSTATE and helpless on the
ground. Reviving again he went
into the house and related TO his
wife the ordeal he had just passed
through, and how near he had APP
preached death. Next day he Went
to town, bought Il Bible, attended
church during the gracious revival,
and embraced religion. This Is one
instance where Il man got religion

Prohibition and HIGH Licens
AtchisOn Patriot.

Kansas and Missouri are neigh
boring States. In Kansas there is a
constitutional provision absolutely
forbidding the manufacture and
sale of all kinds of liquors. In Mis-
souri, there is a high-license law de-
signed to regulate the sale of liquor.
In Kansas there are more saloons,
according to population, than in
Missouri. In Missouri more diff
culties and dangers beset the viola
tor of the law than in Kansas. In
Kansas, except in a few of the larger
towns, absolutely no revenue is de-
rived from the saloons. In Missouri
the salOon-keeperS pay into the
Treasury millions OF dollars. In
Kansas there is scarcely a town
where liquor can not be obtained by
any one. In Missouri there are
whole counties where not drop of
liquor can be obtained for love or
money. In Kansas the saloons sell
on Sunday. In Missouri not sa-
loon opens its door on Sunday.
In dealing with the liquor ques-
ton which is the better plan, pro-
hibition or high license ? y-
