o;n;a. In the plan oil government OF this
entire territory was clause providing
that after the year 1900 there should be
" neither slavery nor involuntary servi-
tude. except for the punishment of
crime whereof the party shall have been
duly convicted " in any OF the territory
coded bv Great Britain. AS the votes
Of nine States were required to render
the anti-slayery clause permanent sec
ton of the ordinance, it failed but in
July. 1887. Nathan Dane, oil Massa-
ehusctts. reported the famous ordi-
nance of 1887. The ordinance passed
ON .Jslly 18th. and thus what is now com
prised in the great States Of Ohio, Illinois,
Michigan, Wisconsin, and apartotMlnne-
sofa became territory forever conse-
Grated to freedom. In 1884 the live
States of Ohio, Indiana. Illinois, Michi-
can. and Wisconsin, in vote OF 2,Oi6,-
6S5. gave Blaine l.330,SG9; the COM
bined opposition vote amounted to
l.345. sl5. leaving Blaine in minority
of l4:94G. though he had GO Of the ~
electoral votes. Seventy years ago tbs
territory had "a fifty years ago, 80
forty years ago. So; thirty years

all the electoral votes from this Sec
ton in 1928 and in 1882 Generals Cass
and Pierce received the votes in 1913
and in 1852 in. 1856 Fremont had "a

great Northwest, in this former Repub-
lican Gibraltar, in 1884, the congress
sional elections returned but thirty-six
Republican members of Congress out OF
seyenty-five. In the State of Michigan,
where. under the oaks = at jackson.
on July 6, 1854, the first Republican
State Congention was held in the United
States. and where the first State ticket
representing the modern Republican
party was presented to the people. and
which was triumphantly elected the fol-
lowing November, thirty years after
ward the same party elected four of the
eleven congressional candidates, and
left Mr.. Blaine in a minority IN the
popular vote of this State Of IL, ~.
The combined Butler and st. John vote
reached 60. $50 in this State, that thirty
years ago gave Fremont 7l.762 votes /;

there having been majority for Ere
mont of 1868.
Times have changed and men have
changed with them. and the glory Of
this latter-day rcpublicanlsm has faded
as a leaf, while the foundation principles
of American government, as cXpounded
bv the Democratic Republicans of
1900, eliminating with the triumph
of Thomas Jefferson. and the We
tories lately achieved by the hero
of New Orleans and the demol-
isher of the national banks. give
to the patriotic American citizen OF
to-day the assurance that the Demo-
cratic party will 20 on from pros
pering to prosper, and from conquerlng
to conquer. fit but embrace the coming
opportunity OF being the most powerful
champion of freedom and the rights of
human nature known anywhere on the
earth.

of the lady frightened little in his

over the moon, and the recess grew
darker.

murmered, and drew her unresist-

The people on the verandah were

people. But once it was all 81 tiled,

OUR CHILDREN IN HEAVEN.
BY MRS. JACKSON HIGGINS

BY MRS. JACKSON HIGGINS
Is it wrong to wish to soc them,
Who were dear to us on earth
Who have gone to heavenly mansions,
Who surround brighter hearthi
Is it wrong to mourn their absence,
From ouI parted household band
Should we check the sigh of sadness,
Though they're in a better lands
Is it wrong to hope to meet them,
Yet upon that better shore,
And with songs ofjoy to great them,
Whom this life Of toll is Ger?
have children up in heaven,
And o, tell me if you will
Will those dear loved ones know me there;
Will they recollect me stillG
Can they look down from those windows,
To this dark and distant shore
Will they know when / am coming,
Will they meet me at the doors
And thou loved one who dids't leave us
In the morning of thy bloom
Dearest Msttio, shall meet thee,
When go beyond the tomb?
shall see thy lovely features,
Shall hear thy pleasant words
Sounding DER my spirits heart-strings,
Like the melody of birds?
And l think me of another
Ola darling little one,.
Who went up among the angels,
Ere her life had scarce begun.
o, I long once more to see them,
And to hold them in my arms
As 1 did when they were with US,
With their Thousand budding charms.
All, tits tTua the soul must suffer,
And be bowed with anguish down,
Ere tits filed for its dwelling,
Ere tits ready for its crown.
But, o, Jesus, blessed Jesus,
Thou art loved without alloy
Thou wilt bless us, Thou wilt save US,
Thou wilt give Us perfect joy.

with their murderous weapons in
hand and eager for the FRAY. the
desperate men climbed TO the ton of
the car. The train employees on
board gathered near and the dead
ly combat began. it was evident
that the duelists we've terribly in
earnest and that it would be @War
to the knife and knife To the hilt."
and that nothing would appease
the wrath of either save the death
of his opponent.
No time was lost in preliminaries.
The men rushed at each other rs
fierce as tigers that have tasted
blood, and the hideous con fict last.
ed for ten minutes. Each thrust of
the glittering blades drew blood,
and, in spite OF their agility and
sparring, both of them received
many wounds on different parts of
the body. Yet, with n courage
which was almost brutal, they did
not finch, and continued the hand
to hand struggle. During the hot
test OF the duel the signal for low
bridge was heard, and the men lay
prone upon the roof of the car I'M
til the bridge was passed, when they
arose and renewed the fight with re-
newed ferocity. 1t Was plain to the
circle of spectators that the contest
would only end with q death, and
they finally interfered and the
murderous affair was stopped.
Both men were badly wounded in
many places and it is remarkable
that both were not mortally hurt or
killed outright. 1t was one of the
most determined, courageous and
desperate fights in the annals of
Kentucky.
When the train reached the city
medical attention was quickly pro-
cured and with careful nursing, the
duelists are convalescing.-TC.-J.

A Talk with Girls.

Girls, don't be in hurry to get
married. If you are but sixteen,
don't allow such an idea to enter
your head for at least four years.
Don't even run the risk of it by per-
hitting any young man to get as
far as the proposing point. Fight
them of, and make them wait or go
away to somebody who is ready.
Don't live under the impression that
you must accept the first love sick
youth who proposes. Be patient,
deliberate and sagacious. There
is world of happiness for you be-
tween sixteen and twenty. The
world would be dresry old world
if it were not for the sweet faces OF
young girls with their piquant say
ings and melting smiles. Your IA
Their has bought you piano, and
you have learned how to play after
many long and wearisome less ms.
Don't spoil all by getting married,
