Rev. Roht. Nourss's Lecture.

The Chatauquan's gave us the best
lecture of the season Friday night
Rev. Robt. Nourse on "John and
Jonathan" The speaker is man
of peculiar, though interesting, phis-
iognomy. His curly locks and dig
nified pose remind one of Theodore
Tilton, while his facial gymnastics
smack strongly of the late John Ray
mond. He is cross between phil
ospher and comedian, Zone is un-
certain whether the place of his ma
tivity is Johncalvin, Thomasjefler-
son or Artemusward) but the jocu
larity of the latter never besmirches
the dignity of the former.
His lecture was a series of contrasts,
so to speak, between England and
America. 1t was hard for the speak
er to deliver himself from the preju-
dice in behalf of his native land, but
this was only noticed in impassioned
passages. His utterance was little
thick with the orotund, but his die
ton was chaste and precise, hisAman-
ner faultless, his impulse pure and re-
fined, and all the while one felt as If
he had the chained spirit of an orator
within him ready to break the shack
les at any moment. The lecture was
a mosaic curiously wrought. Wit,
humor, practical sense, political wis
dom, theology, philosophy and
pathos came into sight with the shift
ing rapidly of Kaleidoscope views
The audience applauded at every
turn, and whether it was burst of
patriotic sentiment, or quick thrust
ofpolitical penetration, or the jest of
facial expression, the clatter of hands
at once set in.
We have high hopes of the CHATEAU
quans next year, the female contin-
gency especially. God bless 'em,
they have done what the men could
not do, and the KENTUoKTAN votes
them three cheers and tiger.

The KENTUoKIAN met Squire War
field, Saturday. In the course of the
conversation, he said: "The great
curse of our country, and more es-

that our officers do not realize that
"a public office is public trust.
They do not seem 10 feel the existence
of the higher moral sentiment of our
community, and are led or driven by
the grosser preferences of people of
basor instincts" There is no question
but that the Squire echoes a wide-
spread public sentiment.

ers have extended credit because OF
confidence in some silent partner and
later it was discovered that the silent
partner was no partner at all, but
was used simply as a .decoy. If a
sign reads "John Smith & Co.." you
ought TO be able surely to find who

THE COUNTY TIcKEr.

The election Of the democratic county
ticket Is of far greater importance than
many may at first imagine. Its defeat, or
even the defeat Of part of It, would be
heraldej TO all parts of the country as a
republican victory foreeasting the elestiOn
OF Blaine, Sherman, or some other repub-
llcan for president. Are democrats will
Ing to help return the republicans to pow.
er in the general government Shall we
de all In eur power to carry this state for
Geariu Then we must be active and un-
ceasing In our labOrS for the wh0le ticket.
We have an abiding faith in the devotion
and loyalty Of the democrats of old Lima,
and confidently look forward to COM
plete victory in JuRe. The republican
party Of the county is numerically weak,
but its leaders who are pushing their eOun-
~ ticket are attempting to devise schemes
to divide and distract the democrats In
order to make sure Of carrying this state
for the presidency this fall. We say plain
ly to democrats that our leaders through
out the state will bend every nerve to
wheel our ysung, vigorous, growing com
monwsalth into line for Cleveland this
fall, but In order to succeed we must carry
II in June. Hence we must not be handi-
capped with local dissensions, but lay aside
all such and march in solid phalanx upon
the enemies lines and victory will follow

reported that the ring had entered into a
deal with the Oycgoaian, whereby that

four of the legislative candidates in con

Two PICTURES.

A richly attired lady whose whele garb
attested the wealth which she has at her
command, and the frown on whose face
testified to the contempt for the poverty
by which she had swept as she passed
along the street, was seen to entera store
Ia Portland where she purchased lot of
jewelry amounting In the aggregate TO $50.
She demonstrated against the extortienate
price which she said the seller had put on
his goods. He attempted to mollify her
feelings by explaining to her that these
articles were imported from Switzerland,
and that the importer had TO pay duty OF
10 per cent on them before they could be
landed ut New York. That's to say $4.S4
of the price Of the goods was the duty the
importer had to pay, and this was added
to the price of the goods before she Pur-
chased. Thus was this individual taxed
4,s4 en- a purchase of $50. This Is one
picture, but the reader may suggest that
there Is nothing very startling about L.

with the last dollar that she had, But she
had been saving II all summer, dollar by
dollar, In order that she might purchase
these indispensable articles for winter use
The salesman, not with the same suaVity

that duty of 20 per cent had been levied
