A electricity becomes more and more
an element In human civilization, so 1t
becomes more and more important that
every precaution should be taken TO pre-
vent accident and destruction OF life
through ifs medium. In the Northern
cities The numerous accidents which have
happened have lead TO laws being passed
recurring wires to be placed under
ground. and where that law Is not en-
acted or enforced there are daily
renorts OF the sudden death of some one
accidentally touched by an unexpected
break. Only a few days ago sturdy
mule in this city was instantly killed by
unluckily passing under trolley OF our
electric cars Just as it broke, and yester-
day the Philadelphia Times reported the
case of little eleven ear-old hoy in that
CITY who was killed In twinkling by
coming In contact with severed wire.
The verdict Of the jury was KILLED by an
electric wire, and no more was said OF
il; but that did not restore the boy TO
life, nor will 1t avert similar accidents In
the future
That Richmond has been greatly bene.
fitted by her electric cars and electric
lights no one can deny, and no one IN
favor Of her progress would attempt to
deprive her Of such advantages. But
the accidents which have already occurred
here to animal life, and those which are
liable to occur to both animal and human
lief, should impress on our people the
necessity of doing all they can for The
public protection. The sooner the deadly
overhead wire is dispensed with the

ON the Chicago Inter-Ocean.

From the Chicago InterOcean.
The Louisville Journal, defending Nc
Eneryism in Louisiana, Yazooism in
Mississippi, and other methods OF re-
pressing the negro vote by force or in
validating it by fraud, pleads that such
methods only exist where the negro is
in a majority of himself or in majority
by alliance with white republicans-sll
of whom the Courier-Journal terms
" adventures depending solely up
on outside sympathy and sup
port" This ia wonderfully shrewd, yet
utterly useless pleading. OF course,
where the negro is in minority Of him
self, in minority even when allied with
white republicans, 1t would be waste
of powder TO shoot him down at the
polls and waste of fire to burn his
ballots. In the event Of his being allowed
to deposit them. So much Is freely
granted to the Courier-Journal.
But the Courier-Journal goes on to
plead necessity for fraud and force; the
negroes are too ignorant, their white
allies-being republicans-are too vici-
Gus to be intrusted with the govern
ment of cities or states. Very good

Emery for Louisiana; and what does that
report show? That under democratic
rule the actual and proportionate
amounts OF total illiteracy are increasing
in Louisiana. What did the Glenn bill
aim at accomplishing in Georgia? The
continued ignorance of the Colored peo-
pie. So that the democratic politicians
in the south do not seem to dread the
ignorance of the negro. They seem de-
termined on perpetuating 1t. They
seem DESTROYS of a spread of illiteracy
among the laboring whites also. The
system OF government In Louisiana and
Mississippi is not republican,; 1t is dig

ISuItOI
MARION, April PA fine rain accom-
panied by heavy thunder storm visited
this section of the country last night.
The rain poured down In torrents, the
lightning and thunder were terrible
and the wind was very high, and It
seemed as though the houses would be
blown away, but gradually the wind de-
creased in Its velocity and finally every.
thing turned out all right.
Today farmers are seen with q smil-
ing cOuntenance, and to judge by their
contented look they seem to foster the
probability OF a good crop this year. So
far the prospe OTIS for crop are very en-
cournging around here, and good crop
is what the farmers have been looking
TO r several years already.
A select party, consisting OF ladies
and gentlemen from Marion, New Berlin
and few from San Antonio, had q pic
mic ar the Santa Claire last Sun
day, and everybody enjoyed ir real
we'll. The time was spent with
playing out door-games, fishing, foot
races, walking matches, etc. About
II O'Clock an elegant dinner was spread
under she shady trees OF the st. Claire
creek and for some time nothing could
be heard but the rustling and Gathering
of knives. forks and plates. The monot-
ony that ensued then was only broken
once in while by cry for glass Of
beer or lemonade (of which, of course,
there was decent sufficiency. almost q
superfuity.) Later in the evening the
folks returned to Marion In their various
carriages which had been decorated
very beautifully by the ladies, with
flowers, green leaves, etc. After arriv-
ing here the gentlemen escorted their
ladies to the Hotel du Weber," and
there partOok OF q dainty supper. After
finishing this important business the
ladies and gentlemen marched to the
school house to open the ball that WAS
81 ven in honor to the ladies, non-resi-
de nts of Marion. The ball was the grand
est affair of the season and the best one
that was ever here. The music was
select and the best that could be pro-
cured. Although the ladies and gentle
men were little tired from the effects
OF the picnic; they kept up dancing I'M
til late after midnight, when they went
home, taking with them the recollection
OF having had very nice time Messrs.
Fries, Lee Wallace. and w. Z. Loot are
especially to be congratulated on their
success in getting up and arranging the
picnic and ball IN such grand style
and it is to be hoped that they will give
some more entertainments like this one
very soon. BILL.

Queer Fits and Starts,

The fits and starts-using these words in
their literal meanng-Of the nervous people
often strike the beholder as ludicrous The
nerves of hearing of such unfortunates are
painfully acute, and impinged by abrupt, un-
expected noises, lead them sometimes to per-
form antics worthy of a jumping jack. At the
root OF nervousness, in most instances, is nom
assimilation of the food, consequently innutr-
ton ofthe nerves as of the other tissues of
the body. This prolonged is, of course, pro.
ductiYe OF serious nervous disease. The rem
edy is Hostetters Stomach Bitters, that in
yigorate the stomach and enables it to per-
form its functions properly. Soon after com
mencing course of it, it will be found that
repose becomes less Interrupted, and appetite
more vigorous and satisfying. These are the
initial indications, followed by the complete
cure fever and ague, liver complaint and CON
stipation.
