THE OLDEST AND BEST.

The Saturday Evening Post, of Philadelphia en-
Joys the proud distinction of being the Oldest family
and literary paper in America If not in the World
Originally established by Benjamin Franklin in
l12S and appearing in its present character in 1921
II has had an uninterrupted career of 1853 years As
its originator, Franklin, was one of the first Of
his time, or any time both in ability and emnence,
The Post ms ever tried to follow its founder, by
carrying out during its whole course of existence
the best aims and highest purposes of a family
newspaper In its management, conduct and
choice of reading MATERIAL usefulness purity, NOR
aitY progr IS and entertainment have always been
its watchwOrds and its guides.
The history of The Post is the history of Ameri-
can literature and authorship. Not to speak of
those who pre- vious TO and after the War of the
Revolution made it power in the land, since 1921
there is hardly writer famous in the world of let
ters whose works have not adorned its pages.
Among these may be mentioned Horace Greedy,
Dickens, Mrs. Southworth, Poe, Halleck, Bryant,
I. 5. Arthur, Ned Buntlinc, Gilmore Siums, Ann
5. Stephens, Mrs. Henry Wood and others.
tits no wonder then that The Post claims the
right to add TO the glory of being the Oldest family
paper, the even more honorable title of also being
The Best. Always keeping in sight what was High
est Purest, most Entertaining, in word, the Best
in literature, it has failed in its long
rcer to 20 forth as weekly missionary into hum
dreds of thousands of the finest families in all qua
tiers of the land the most welcome aud cheerful Of

pest writer's of this country and Europe, in Prose

Kissing Against the Will.

Judge Moore Of the Brooklyn court of
sessions, has laid down the law on Il
very old and interesting subiect--the
kissing of maid against her will. A
young man convicted of having com
mitted osculatory burglary and larceny
on pretty servant girl employed in the
family of Justice Walsh was arraigned
for sentence, and Judge Moore said:
'There is no objection, 50 far as can
see, to a man kissing girl if she is
willing. but you must not do it against
her will. She has right to object, and
if she does you mustn't do it. BE sure
she is willing before you try. You have
already beel, in Jail eight weeks, and
Justice Walsh and the girl think your
punishment sufficient. You ore dis
charged"
According to his judicial dictum the
willingness is all in reference to a kiss,
as Hamlet remarked that "thc readiness
is alp in reference to II journey to the
undiscovered country. But how shall
the willingness be established? Can the
learned justice give rule for that? II
his youthful experience was like that ol
most other men he no doubt discovered
that the unwillingiess was sometimes
more seeming than real. The ardent
youth who waits for the signal of per.
feet willingness will miss many kiss

of going to Jail. The Spanish girls hay,

my opinion, entirely wanting. His
course in itself, Is such rs should not
have been entered upon while main
tanning official relations to the admins
tration, also renews and revives, with
unmistakeable Interpretation of their
character and intent, the charges of
offensive partisanship heretofore made

Mr.. Stone and Others of like DISPOSE
ton are not to suppose that party lines
are so far obliterated that the admins
tration of the government is to be trust
ed in places high or low to those who
aggressively and constantly endeavOr,
unfairly to destroy the confidence of
the people in the party responsible for
such an administration. While vicious
partisan methods should not he allowed
for partisan purposes to degrade or in

that nothing tends so much to discredit
our efforts, in the interest of such SER
vice, to treat fairly and generously the
official incumbency of political oppOn-
ents as conduct such as is here disclos-
ed.
The people of this country certainly

~ This is what William Allen gave as his
definition of Democracy:
Democracy is sentiment not to be ap-
palled, corrupted or compromised. 1t knows
no baseness, il covers to no danger; it op-
presses no weakness. Fearless, generous
and humane, it rebukes the arrogant, cher
ishes honor and sympathizes with the hum
BILE. 1t comedies nothing but what it de-
mands. Destructive only todespotism, is the
sole conservator of liberty, labor and proper
ty. It is the sentiment of freedom, Of equal
rights, of equal obligations. 1t is the laws
of nature prevailing the land. The stupid,
the selfish and the base in spirit may de-
nounce it as vulgar thing; but in the his
tory of our race the Democratic principle
has developed and illustrated the highest
moral and intellectual attributes of our
nature. Yes, that is noble, magnanimous, a
sublime sentiment, which expands our SYM
pathies and elevates the soul of man until,
claiming an equality with the best, he rejects,
as unworthy of his dignity, any political i'm
munity over the humblest of his fellows
Yes it is an ennobling principle-and may
that spirit which animated our fathers in the
revolutionary contest for its establishment,
continue to animate us, their sons, in the
struggle for its preservation"

IA clustering Blaine was going to sue the
indianapolis Sentinel very fast. But the
Sentinel called his bluff and he sneaked out
and threw up his hand. Blaine seduced his
wife, was forced to marry her at the point of
shot gun and then deserted her. The child
of shame died and was buried and its age
was put on the tombstone. When the Sen
ttnet exposed Blaine's early scoundrelism,
that fellow could not reconcile the date of his
marriage certificate with the date showing
the child's age. and he caused the tombstone
to be defaced. That's the kind of whelp
the Republic cans run for President. .-Sun-

sss The subject of revising and changing
the tax laws of the State is likely to be an
interesting one in the Legislature this winter
and will precipitate the hottest debates that
are likely to occur. 1t is already given out
that Governor Foraker will recommend
wholesale and radical changes in the method
of raising State revenues, involving system
of bank taxation which will raise regular
storm. 1t is altogether likely that the liquor
tax will be raised from 5000 to $500; that
many foreign corporations now practically
exempt, will be taxed upon their gross re-
ceipts, and there will probably be revalua-
tion of real estate ordered with an appointive
Board of Equalization. There is need of
largely increased revenues to meet the Re-
publican idea of doing things, and they will
be raised by the most radical methods if
necessary.

~ We com mend the following, from the
inaugural address of Gov. Gordon of Geor-
gia, to our Republican exchanges who be-
lteve that the war is not ended:
From political confusion, angry con-
troversies and bloody conflicts have come a
national life more robust, national peace
more real and national union more endur-
ing. There are nowhere in the republic
either disloyal citizens or disloyal sentiment.
But everywhere all hearts, voices and arms
are ready for the preservation of the general
government in all its constitutional vigor as
the pledge for our peuce and safety. repeat
that for defense against the outside world
our nation is simply omnipotent; that our
union is to bs as lasting as time und that

lished and defended

Roscoe Conkling was in Boston the

ion in conversation with General

an indication that the Republican
party is falling to pieces under unwise

WILLIAMSBURG, KY, Nov. 26.-Jus
one month ago news reached this city
ofa hOrrid holocaust in Il remote part
of Knox county, this state. Eight peo
pie, consisting of mother and five
children, the family Of Mr.. William
Poe, u lulnberman, and two young girls
named Mary Carens and Lizzie Adams,
were reported burned to death in theil
little home at night during the absence
of the husband and father. The house
consisted of but two rooms, all the in.
mates occupying the same room on the
ground floor. At the time it seemed
strange that
NOT ONE HAD BEEN ARLE TO ESCAPE
from the burning house, but owing tc
its isolated situation facts were hard tC
obtain. But now comes the sequel
which reveals story which for tiend
ishness is only eclipsed by the Ashland
horror of five years ago.
The Poes had two neighbors, whose
reputation was not the best, and fol
this reason Mr.. Poe had forbidden them
the house. These neighbOrs-a man
and woman, though not man and
wife--had an illegitimate child, a boy
about 10 years old. They lived some
thirty yards from Poe's house, and, be-
coming enraged because of being re.
fused social recognition,
PLANNED THE DAMHABLE PLOT
of numbering the entire family. The
boy, suffering undera severe chastise-
ment from his reputed father, now tells
the whole story. He says his mother
was talking about the matter for several
days, and that it eliminated during
a night when Mr.. Poe was absent from
home, and that when his father and
mother left home for Poe's house they
forbade his going with them, but that
he slipped along without their knowl-
edgeand saw them enter the house.
The family, all of whom were females,
were asleep in one room, and his father
with razor
CUT THE THROATS OF EACH
from ear to ear, while his mother pick
ed the bodies up, placed them in the
middle of the floor, piled the contents
of two beds on them and then set fire
to them and the house to cover up theil
awful crime.
The boy tod his story in such a
straightforward manner as to lead to an
investigation. Arrests of the man and
woman were at once made and a sew
ing machine, beds and several other
articles recognized as belonging to the
murdered family, We're found beneath
the house of the accused parties. They
werc at once placed in Jail at Barbours-
vile, but declined to talk. There is
NO DOUBT OF THEIR GUILT

s Commissioner Black was the first
Pension Commissioner to inquire into and
ascertain how many soldiers were in the
poor houses of the land, and he reports about
5000. This is sad commentary on the long
rule of the Republican party in this country,
the professed friend of the soldiers, that
they should fail to provide for the soldier
during their uninterrupted power of twenty
four years. Now, since Black, a Democrat,
has obtained the information, relief will
doubtless be given to those unfortunates.
