The Illinois Republican Supreme Court up
held the law intended to purify elections in
Chicago. The Ohio Democratic Supreme
Court struck down the law passed to protect
the suffrage in the cities of Cleveland and
Cincinnati. Everywhere and always-from
scoundrels like Joe Mackin and the Fourth
ward Cincinnati thieves to Supreme Courts
the Democratic party is against free ballot
and fair count.

ballotbox. Mr.. Lafamme sued for $40, 900
damages, and has been awarded the full
amount. The trouble in this country is that
the men charged with this crime are guilty,
and do not care to bring suit for damages,
while the law, for some inexplicable reason,
fails to properly punish such scoundrels. In
time, doubtless it will reach them and give
them their dues. The people will not always
SO quietly submit to such dangerous outrages
upon their rights.

Tears.

Crocodile tears are things of ancient
history, and tears produced with the
aid of onions are equally well known,
but it has remained for modern science
to produce onion tears without betray-
inc the presence of the progressive
onion itself. In fact, the aggressive
onion need not be present at all. An
essential oil is extracted from it which
has all the tear compelling qualities
of the solid vegetable itself. One
drop of this oil on n handkerchief is
good for one flood OF tears, two drops
produce a persistent fit IT sobbing and
three drops an appea nee OF utter
abandonment to cons ming grief. -

A Fault of Education.

Education needs to be adapted to
the requirements of the individuals; to
be more personal in order to be more
effective. We generalze too much
everywhere; nowhere so much as in
the class room. Because of this-be-
cause education runs so much to the
multiplication of studies rather than
to the stimulation of thought-our ed
ucated classes are inert and inditler-
ent. The average college graduate
finds that in the world about him there
is no place he can fill acccptably to
himself. and the fault is not so much
with the wicked world as with those
who first gave direction to his educa-
ton. -LouiSUiiLe Courier-JournGt.

ut@ of seaman's profession. As
early as practicable in the spring and
autumn all qualified apprentices are
sent to cruising ships, where they
continue their studies, and when
ready are transferred to vessels of the
North Atlantic station to become
regular men-of-war's men. While OIL
board the training ships the appren-
tees must be careful to behave them
selves and strictly obey orders and
regulations, or they will meet with
swift although not painful punish
ment. A perslstently disobedient ap-
prentice, or one vulgar in habit or
language, or whose influence upon his
associates is obviously pernicous, may
on recommendation of the command
er of the vessel, be dismissed by the
authorities at Washington. The navy
does not want boys of that character,
and it speedily gets rid of them.
The pay of apprentices is very lib.
eral. A third'class apprentice re-
ceives SO per month and one ration.
On showing that he deserves promo
tion by good behavior, intelligence,
and knowledge of his duties he is
advanced to the rating of second class
apprentice, when his pay is $40 per
month, and on still further promotion,
he is made first-class apprentice, or
ordinary seaman, with pay at 81 or
$l3 per month respectively. On
cruising ships he may receive still
higher ratings for proficiency. He
may be promoted to petty officer and
get very liberal pay. His promotion
depends entirely on his capacity and
his work, and he may succeed or fall
as he may himself determine. His
career, SO far as the officers control is
concerned, is likely to be free and un-
trammeled. Generally he will find
the officers ready to promote his well
fare every way, and if he be the right
man he can attain any position to
which he can rightly aspire.
at the termination of his period of
service he receives an honorable dis
charge and 8 continuous service GER
titcate, which upon re-enlistment
within three months entities him to
three months extra pay and pay of
rations valued at about 30 cents per
day), and also an addition of 81 per
month during re-enlistment. In case
of injury sustained or illness acquired
in the line of duty, he is entitled to a
pension.
