Bismarck was once very much attached
to the late Herr Lasker personally, and
that he not only talked with him for hours
at his receptions, but that he almost in

Tanned Eases.

Why do ladies object to having their
faces tanned? The deep, rich crimson
color is certainly very becoming and
preferable to the pale, sickly look SO
common. The reason is not difficult to
long to persons low in the social scale;
in other words, to the vulgar. So women
forego the good they might receive from
sunshine, and acquire a complexion of
a sickly pallor caused by organic decay,
and call it beautiful. The practice OF
screening the body, and especially the
face, from the sun on all occasions is
one which deserves to be severely con-
demned

THE DEATH rate of Russia is the high
est in Europe. This is attributed to the
paucity of medical men and the habits
of the rural population. According to
late returns, the average duration of life
as only twenty-six years and the mortal
Sty among infants is frightful. More
than 60 per cent. of infants die before
Ghey reach their fifth year, and nearly
9o,o00. 900 perish every year. OF 5000, 900
boys only $4,000 attain the age of
military seryice-that is to say, their
18th year; and of these at least /, 200, 900
are found, by reason of Shortness of
stature and weakness oil body, to be un-
SIT for military duties.

PRESIDENT PENDLErON.

The two RepEb lean papers OF this
city have brought out President w. r.
PENDLEToN, of Bethany College, as q
Democrat who could beat-in the lam
gusge quoted by one ofthe papers-"any
Republican in the District" This isex-
setly correct. He can do that very
thing.
But it is not questioned that DIR. PEN
DLEToN has been consulted. Indeed,
the INTELIIGENCER says, it is "unable
to say that he has so much as heard of
it." 1t is true that he possesses all the
exalted qualities attributed to him by
our contemporaries, and among his great
qualities is that Of thinking and decid-
ing for himself all matters with which
be has to do. If the people throughout
the district shall make a call upon
PRESIDENT PENDLETON to become
candidate, and If he shall accept that
call, he will beat any Republican who
can be nominated, and he will do it in
. dignified way and handsomely.
1t Is intimated by one of the papers
referred to that DIR. PENDLETON, if q
candidate, will receive great many
Republican votes. This is true, and
what is quite as important he will re-
ceive the full and solid Democratic vote
of the district which of itself would
elect.
The suggestion of DR.. PENDLEToN's
possible candidacy, although only
made thirty.six hours ago, has become
the talk of the town ard has developed
the fact that he is extremely strong
among the people. We use the word
people" here as designating that large
class of business men, mechanics, man.
ufacturers, laborers and shop-keepers
who are in no wise politicians. DR..
PENDLEToN, while having clear and
we'll, defined views upon all public
questions, has never been apoliticlan in
the senseof q partisan manipulation,
manager or office-seeker. In this he is
exactly the opposite Of Gen. GoFF who
is q politician in that sense-and moth
ing more. He has been an office
seeker and office-holder ever since the
day he cast his first vote. DR.. PENDLE-
TON Is well known to the farmers of
this district, and they know that he is
in entire sympathy with them and their
interests. With him in Congress they
would have an able, cultured, impartial
Representative and one as true as sseel
10 their intel ests and to his own con-
victions of duty.

DICUssISG THE QUEsrIea.

We observe that some Of the farmers
of Berkeley county have called public
meeting at which they propose to dis
cuss from a public rostrum, the action
of the Governor and Auditor under the
discussion Of the Supreme Court deny
ing the power of the Legislature to ex-
empt from taxation any species Of prop
erty. That's American and it is right.
All intelligent American citizens have
opinions, and no people on earth can
give expressions to their opinions in
clearer and better manner than Ameri-
cans. Not only have they opinions,
but they know why they have them
the reasons W on which they are found
ed; and they are able to present these
reasons to others in language plain and
easily comprehended. A candid, manly
and intelligent discussion Of public
question, either from the public rostrum
or through the public press, will
always result In better understanding
of the points involved, and is bound to
do good. 1t is always well to turn the
blazing light of public discussion and
investigation upon all laws and inter-
pretations of laws-upon all acts of
public servants in whatever station
and If they are right and sound this
discussion and investigation will only
commend them more strongly to the
people. He who rules wisely is always
strengthened in the popular confidence
by the fullest discussion Of his acts. 1t
Is true that after the most searching and
exhaustive discussion of public ques-
ton people will not all think alike
that they will agree to continue to hold
diverse views upon the question before
them-but discussion and enlighten-
ment will cause each to become more
tolerant Of the opinions Of the other.
Thus 1t is that the chief actor-the
public officer, for instsnce-becomes
strengthened and the atmosphere be-
comes clearer.

similar condition Of affairs In relation
to Judge r. 8. BROWN In his section Of
the moral vineyard. Within the last
several months there have been . num-
Der Of similar manifestations OF popular
partiality for othsr distinguished gen.
tlemen. That's all very well, and no
doubt pleasant to those who are the re-
cipients OF their neighbors' kind At
t ntions. It Is well, because 1t brings
PR minently before the public the par
ties doomed" and q discussion OF their
respective merits then becomes proper.
In this way the popular breeze viii tan
the grist, and the chat, and cheat and
worthless grains are blown away while
only the good old wheat Is left for Con-
vention day. This is why so few peo-
pie can survive "boom," II 1t comes
many days prior TO the Convention
which is to pass upon his merits.
In the Presidential race we have seen
HOLMAN, the most doomed Of I'll the
candidates, wither as milk-weed in
the desert SUI, and HEWITT, RANDALL,
on the Democratic side, and ARTHUR,
IINCoLS, LOGAN, BLAINE, on the Re-
publican, have all been blown away as
chaff-or bad kernels the popu-
lar breath.
Let us see: This is the first day OF
February. 1t Is just six months-one-
half of year-until the first of August.
This latter date Is about the time the
Democrats usually nominate their can
didate for Governor. Six months Is
very long while In American pelitic'.
Many q beautiful flower, doomed and
full-blown to-day, may wither and die
long before the August heat sets In.
Those who are to-day the popular IA
vorites may by that time be unthought
Of then, while those who are now In the
least favor with the public may then be
the idols of the populace.
Still, we like this booming OF good
men, SO long as 1t gives no oftense to the
men themselves. 1t brings them before
the public gaze for inspection and in
veetieation.
