THE MARTIAL SPIRIT IN FRANCE.
1t seems that the French people can
never outgrOw the martial spirit that has
made so many pages Of European history.
Though the nstiOn was lying prone at the
feet of the German onquerOr in 1870, de-
prived of two of her richest provinces,
Alsace and Lorraine, and burdened with q
heavy debt, the same warhke spirit is now
swelling in the F~renchman's breast that
brought on the memorable conflict OF
1870.
The French have now thoroughly re-
organized their army, and have one Of the
best nayies in Europe. The anti-German
spirit can scarcely be restrained by
the Government, and it would not be at
all surprising that while the newspaper cor
respondents are carrying on the war in the
East, that the French might attempt to
regain their lost provinces.
Then too, we see that the French are be
ginning to assert their rights in Egypt.
The Suez canal, the work Of the great en-
gineer De Lesseps supported by France,
has for years been practically under En-
glish control. The French built it, but
the English appropriated it. The French
Government now tells the English to name
the day when they will eyacuate Egypt.
France now considers herself a match
for any nation in Europe and this opinion
may make some very interesting European
history.

are not clamoring for them this year, as
they did formerly? Is 1t because
they believe that the elections this year for
Congressman are going to be honest and
fairP They certainly do. And is not this
conclusive proof that honest elections and
a Democratic ADMINISTRATION anne together?
As long rs the Republicans controlled the
National administration it required mill
ions of dollars to pay United States Su-
peryisors of Elections and Deputy Mar
shals to prevent fraud and rascality. BY
the time the Dem oeratie administration Is
twenty months old the reformation IS so
great that not a supervisor or marshal Is
necessary in the United States, although
some supervisors have been appointed, as
it Is made mandatory by the law, but 1t Is
only a cheap way for party committees to
enlist two workers in each city voting pre-
cinet. The American people were wise
when they changed the administration. 1t
BLAINE had been elected there would have
been an army Of Deputy Marshals, at an
expense ola million of dollars, doing the
dirty work of the Republican bosses"

NEW POLITICAL ERA.

The elections on November 2 will mark
the beginning Of a new era in American
politics. Under Republican rule it has
been necessary to spend thousands of dol
lars to protect the polls on election day.
There was not a State in the South that
was not invaded by deputy marshsls,
These were paid out Ofthe United States
Treasury for the chief purpose of doing
campaign work for the g. o. p. by intimi-
dalton or any other convenient means.
There were so, 900 of these guarding the
polls two years ago. This year there will
not be q single u The Democratic Ad.

The Republican Administrations couldn't

to the suspicious era that has dawned up.

The Republican Canard AbOut Bran
mons Contribution to the Flood Suffer
ers.
SPECIAL Correspondence Of the Register.
WESTON, Oct. 23.-Your correspondent
meeting with Judge BrannOn mentioned
10 him that he had seen it stated in Re
publican papers that he had contributed
one dollar to the sufferers by the flood IN
the Ohio Valley, a few years since, and
asked him what he had to say about 1t.
The Judge-"The statement is false, sir.
I was in Weston when the news
reached us of the flood; l
signed and payed a small subscrip-
ton then. | then went to Buckhannon
where it was learned more definitely the
extent of the calamity. A public meeting
was called there and | participated in 1t
and urged aid. l then and there gave ten
dollars. | made some subscription to
every paper for aid presented to me. l
NAV have signed q subscription, handed
by little children, with n dollar. l
know that in all my subscription
amounted to thirty dollars. | remember
of seeing General COTS subscription and
comparing ability to subscribe a large
multiplier might be employed in my favor
to make us even"
Your reporter then asked why did you
not then Judge refute this reflection ON
YOU? The Judge. "Why, life is too short
TO answer the falsehOOds of the vile; and
again if one is refuted it is like opening a
Pandora's box. | would thereby give their
authors who seem to be employed for
the purpose a renewed impetus. 1t is
best TO let them work on their old lies.
Such glaring f~alsehCOds can have no effect
where Judge BrannOn is known. lie will
be the next representative from this dis
trict, Notwithstanding the malicious abuse
he has been subject to.

THE Ohio county Republicans like to
keep up appearances. When Senator
KENNA spoke in Wheeling the Opera
House was filled with persons eager to
hear what he had to tell them. The Re
publicans, not expecting a large crowd
tonight, try to make up the deficiency by
getting a big building, and so hire the
Alhambra rink. If they can't have a blg
crowd they will have q big house.

THE Clarksburg Republicans were afraid
Senator KENNA might pull the scales
from the eyes Of the G. o. p. OF Harrison,
and so, without Judge BRANNON's knowl-
edge, they had a joint discussion arranged
between Gen. GOFF and Judge BRANNoN
at Bridgeport, near Clarksburg, at the
same time the Senator was to speak in the
latter town. The only thing they thought
that could save them was to keep by the
side of their little idol.

Indian If OEcy.

Not very long ago, writes Mrs. F. A. Warner of Saginaw, Mich, I received from Washington Ter
 r1tory box of real Indian money. The lady who sent it to me says that years ago her husband was an Indian trader, and while among the Alaska Indians he collected this queer currency. The Indian money, or "wampum," as the In dians call it, is a rare seashell, an inch or more in length, twice the size around of large knitting
 needle, tapering, slightly bent, and hollow. The value of each piece to them was four cents I have quite a bit more of this Indl- an money than I need for my one collection, aid any one who would like pocket-piece of this kind of money may have it and welcome by sending a stamp for postage.

 This morning q dyspeptic look ing man entered a blacksmith shop in Rondout. He waited until the blacksmith put hot shoe to the foot of hoI SC that was being shod, when he bent down and drew in with his nostrils several draughts of smoke that atose from the burn ing hoof. After the man left the shop a reporter of the Freeman asked the blacksmith if the man who had just taken his departure was crazy.
 70, mo-" responded the black smith, ''he is only working mp an appetite. Strange as it may ap- pear to you, yet the fact is true, that the inhalation into the lungs of smoke from a horses hoof, when it is being shed, is the best appe- tiger in the world. That man you saw here will now go ,home and eat good square meal. He came into the shop without an appetite and went away hungry. Ihave on an average five patients a day who visit my shop for an appetizer. One day not long ago they all gathered about at one time. It was funny sight to see them all bending over to get their nostrils near the burning hoof and draw in good hearty 'snifters.' If I could bottle the appetizer and get a patent right on it I could make a mint of money in short time. How does it affect my appe- tite? Go ask my wife, and she will tell you that I eat more than any man she ever saw. On extra busy days, when I cannot go to dinner, she sends it to me by two children. Each one brings we'll filled pail. It is 8 rare occurrence when a blacksmith who shoes horses gets rich from the revenue he derives from his trade. It is almost impossible for him to do it. The appetizer that is constantly arising to his nostrils makes him ravenously hungry, end the bulk of his earnings goes to satisfy a craving appetite Livingston IN. Y.) Freeman.
