Frankfort Capital: The people
have decided for Mr.. Blaine's theo-
ry of 'Home Markets" To main
tain this market the people have
decided to pay all the taxes neces-
sary for that purpose. This years
corn crop will reach two billions
bushels. The price of the surplus
of this corn is regulated in Liver
pool. With the price of the farm
er's surplus product regulated in
in England, and the price of all he
buys regulated by monopolists and
trusts at home, he need lose no
sleep in devising ways and means
to dispose ofhis surplus cash. The
people are capable of self-govern-
ment, however, and if that style of
government is acceptable, they have
the right SO TO direct. 1t is posi-
BILE, however, that some bright
morning the farmer will awaken to
the fact that a system of govern
ment which compels him to buy
under a protective tariff and sell
under free trade system is not in
the nature of a blessing to him nor
his.

In 1854 David Roberts killed JAS.
Kendall in Morgan county, hiding
his body under d brush pile. He
then fled to Missouri, where he re-
NAMED in safety until 1886, when
the son of his victim discovered his
whereabouts and caused his arrest
and return to Kentucky, where he
was tried and convicted and sem
fenced to twenty-one years impris-
onment. Roberts appealed to the
Court Of Appeals, which affirmed
the decision of the Court below,
and the accused, who is now sixty
four years old, is practically SEN
fenced to life imprisonment.

A Canadian View of it.
[Toronto dlobe. :

.
Daring the months Immediately
preceding Presidential election day,
the American people present to the
world the appearance OF a nation
gone wild with clap-trap and "roor-
back" and absurd alarms. But the
day after the election they are seen
to have accomplished a magnificent
political feat. Without any blood
shed, ana with no perilous dis
turbance, they have given to a free
ly chosen representative greater
greater power than is reposed in al
most any monarch in the world.
The nonsensical clatter OF the pro-
cess of election is straightway for
gotten the people settle down qri-
city to work; they are satisfied to
abide by the opinion Of the majori-
ty; they are again good friends all
around !" the defeated hope for bet
ter luck next time and the Common
wealth is more firmly based by the
great tests to which It's institutions
have been submitted. We may think
the people have decided OIL an in
judiclous four-years' course; but
how much more their happiness is
subserved by their free choice than
it could be if they had to 60 right by
the dictation of a privileged minor
ityl The educational influence of
the Presidential election is always
considerable to the people OF the
States, and the peaceful issue out of
a conflict SO immense is an educa-
ton for the whole world in the ad-
vantages Of Democratic govern

The Race for the Spells.


When the Democrats came back
after wandering twenty.four years
in the wilderness, they exhibited ar
appetite for Office that was not alto
gether unnatural under the circum
stances. Bat it was nothing to the
hunger and thirst that less than four
years of abstinence had developed
among the Republicans.
+ One Of the striking. features oil
the present pohticafsituation is the
unanimity with which the idea of
civil service reform has been aban.
doned. 1t seems to be agreed that
hlf.such new-fsngled notions have
been voted out; and there is not the
least pretense in any quarter that
the spoils do not belong entirely to
the victors.
Il may be interesting, aboui next
to recall some of the bbser-
vstions made tour years before on
the subject ofremovals from office,
to say nothing of the utterances Of
party platforms meanwhile. But
this interest will be father historical
than practical. 1t is now conceded
that the Offices belong to the saints,
and it must be acknowledged that
the saints are not backward in COM
ing forward to claim them. -"
History relates'that the elder Har-
rison succumbed to the office-seek-
srs in month, finding his only 'es-
cape in death. If the grandson
prove better able to stand the pres
sure, it will be because he is not
without experience in the distribu-
ion of patronage. And yet the
pressure of 1904 was not cir
to that which already

Coffee and its Rffects.


Coffee owes its stimulating and
refreshing qualities to caffeine. It
also contains gum and sugar, fat,
acids, casein, and wood fiber. Like
tea, it powerfully increases the res
piration; but, unlike It, does not
affect its depth. By its use the rate
Of the pulse is increased and The
action OF tine skin diminished, it les
sens the amount Of blood sent to
the organs of the body, distends
the veins and contracts the capilla-
ries, thus preventing waste of It's
sue. 1t is a mental stimulus OF a
high order, and one that is liable to
great abuse. Carried to excess, it
produces abnormal wakefulness,
indigestion, acidity, heartburn, ire
mors, debility, irritabllity oftemper,
trembling, irregular pulse, kind
of intoxication ending in delirium
and great injury to the spinal func-
tions. Unfortunately, there are
many coffee tipplers who depend
upon it as dgunkard upon his
dram. On the other hand, coffee is
ofsovereigu sfficacacy in tiding over
the nervous system in emergencies.
Coffee is also, in its place, an excel
lent medicine. In typhoid fever its
action is frequently prompt and de-
cislve. 1t is indicated in the early
stages before local complications
arise. Coffee dispeis stupor and
letharsy, is an antidote for many
kinds Of poison, and is valuable in
spasmodic asthma, whooping cough,
cholera infantnm and Asiatic chol-
era. It is also excellent as a pre-
ventatiye against infectious and
epidemic discusses. In DISTRICTS rife
with malaria and fever, the drink
ing of hot coffee before passing into
the open air has enabled persons
living in such places to escape con-
tagion.-Journal OF Commerce.

first Rothschild was probably right
from his point of view when he said
that he would never empty an un'

lucky man is usually the man who
fits his feftunes; who, whether APP
parently'able or stupid, can do just
what bis especial circumstances re-

are ofteh ready men, armed with o
readiness as ofdogs when they twist

Our Candidates.

The Republican county ticket is
composed of men whom the people
can trust. There are many Demo-
Gratis in this county who will vote it.
No Republican should vote anything
else. In previous issues we have
mentioned several of the candidates
and spoken of their merits. Mr..
Benedict will receive his old-time
majority and Mr.. Paddock will GER
tainly receive the endorsement of the
people of the county he has served
so we'll. But the balance of the tick
ct is equally strong. The town Of
Brighton does not hold more up
right and honorable man than
Dwight L. Burgess, our candidate
for Assemblyman. A Republican
from principle and loyal to the back
bone, he has received the suffrages
of his Democratic neighbors repeat
edly for responsible positions in the
town of Brighton. He has grown up
right here in the county and has kept
pace with the Improvement in the
county. He has developed side by
side with the men who took this
county from the hands OF Nature
and have made it what it is, and he
has borne an honorable part in the
work. If the high standing of a man
in his home town is any endorse
ment, Mr.. Burgess is abundantly en-
dorsed. His ability to efficiently
discharge the duties of Assemblyman
is unquestioned. In ability, enter
prise and energy Mr.. Burgess ranks
high in this county. No man can
| fiji the office for which he is nomin-
ated without considerable ability,
genuine enterprise and painstaking
work. It is of the utmost import.
ance that Kenosha County's interests
in the State Legislature should be
placed in good hands. The prestige
Of the county rests largely with the
men we send to Madison. Men who
will command the respect and sup.
port Of their colleagues should BIZ
sent as our representative to the
State councils. There is no risk te
be run in sending Mr.. Burgess. He
has the presence, the ability, the &C.
/ quaintance with business methods
and the integrity to do Kenoshs
County honor in the position fol
which he is nominated. Let the Re
publicans Of this county see to i,
! that they are not slack in their duty
