About twenty years sso Col. J. ]. g.
Wilson Of this city. says the Chicago
Inter Ocean. then an active telegraph
superintendent, was on . tour in the
southern part Of this state. It was Q
season Of floods. Large portions Of the
country adjacent to the Ohio and Missis.
sippi rivers we're inundated, and the
wreckage bad, included tho washing away
OF many miles OF poles and wire. it
became necessary to commuuicate with
spoint on the Missouri bank Of the Nis.
.issippi river By telegraph. The fertile
invention Of Col. Wilson directed that Q
locomotive be run mp to the Illinois
bank. Mounting the footboard, be
grasped the valve, and soon the tshrill
screams of the locomotive whistle sere
heard by tho listening operators
on the other shore, whistlinR out
Wilson's message in the long
and short sounds OF the alphabet q
familiar to them a. that of their primers !,
Communication was kept up in this wAyi
Tor several honrs. 4 train ON western
railroad several yesrs sgo met With . ter
rible accident miles from any station.
Among the passengers was . young
telegrapher. His ready mind took in the
situation. and climbing the nearest pole
1t was an easy task to cut the wire, an d
using the two ends - . key, sent Q mes.
sage for help. To receive the reply was
. more difficult task. Hero again the
young mans invention stood IN good
stead and spusred him on to sn exhibi.
ton OF nerve that is rarely met With.
Admonishing the distant operator to
send slowly. he PLACED the cut ends Of
the wire upon his tongue, and by the
length Of each shock to that delicate
me0ber made out the letters until the
n1rseA6s was complete. That young
mans sense Of taste was destroyed, aud
returned only in weakened degree after
two or three years.

Now that the political candidates TO; t;the
presidency of the United States are posed
in hostile array there is change given
for the two great parties to decide upon
their line of battle, but as usual the cham
pions cf republicanism will assume the ag
gressive and furnish the issues, while the
hyperbolical, hypocritical and rapaciousy
ambitious democratic organization will fol-
low their usual series of campaign mystifi
cations to dodge the important national is
sues. The democratic campaign was
opened by tusilade of vituperative slurs
cast at the head of the national rerub}i-
can ticket, and as in the past the lost
cause leaders hoped to gain capital by all
act that is usually resorted 70 only in the
slums and alleys of New Yo1k city, but
in this case followed bv the leading dem
ocratic shouters of the nation. But since
the nomination OF Cleveland boomerang
appearance of affairs hovers over his per-
sonal character, and facts are shown
whereby the salnted Glover appears as a
lascivious libertine who to-day furnishes
the support of two children ushered into

have an aspirant for the nations highest
Office as father After all. Cleveland
has record, and before the finale Of this
series of villianous personal assaults
against Blaine shall have been announ-
ced the chameleon skinned reform Cleve-
land will pose as pitable subject for No
vember slaughter, and the youthful ell

five years unsuccessfuly pleaded tor pow

irreyerent and ambitious striplings may
be successful in capturing a visionary

cannot gain national acquiesence with

The dammed-up enthusiasm of four

The County Superintendent Answers
School Teacher.

The County Superintendent Answers
School Teacher.
EDITOR ADvoCATE:-Last week there
appeared your paper an article on morali-
ty among teachers, charging that many
teachers were deficient in this virtue and
that the superintendent was not in sym
pathy with high moral ground among
teachers, charging also that one teacher
was guilty of drunkenness and would ne
glect his school duties, and that the su-
perintendent would not annul his certif-
cate. Now then, that presumes that the
superintendent knows about the case, and
as there has been but one case of the kind
in the county it is fair to presume that the
superintendent knows something of this
case and of the party or parties who wrote
the article referred to. l challenge him
or them as the case may be to produce
proof to substantlate the charges made. |
cannot find any proof, and proof is what
/ want and must have. Instead of find
ing any proof to substantiate the charges
[ have the word of a practicing physician
that during the ten days at time this
teacher was under his care, and not from
the use Of Intoxicating liquors; and that
he is not addicted to the habitual use Of
intoxicating drink. Why does not this
teacher come out over his or her own sigma
ture? He says he knGios that such is the
case. If he had only signed his name
might know where to go for proof; but
no; he or she throws out ipsipuations oi
gross or wrong-doing on the part OF
teacher and of failure to do right on the
part OF the superintendent, and then COW:
ardly sneaks behind "School Teacher
and wants to know what the people car
do. Did it eyer occur to this school
teacher that the district board could can
eel contract at any time if the teachers
fail to do their duty, without any aid OF
interference on the part of the superin
tendent?
In short, not to prolong the argument
the charges of drunkenness and immorali
ty cannot be proven. Very Respectfully,
w. E. BENEDICT.
