The PARTY OF Notwithstanding OF
the former Republican party and the
present one, the New York Times saws
that Two things have combined to bring
about this change in the Republican
party. One is the spoils system which
the party succeeded to when it came into
power, and which 1t had. when elected
enormously developed The other, and
more important, Is the gradual and final
ly complete subversion Of the party TO
the influence of the protected interests
This has been extremely and constantly
demoralizing, because it has brought into
active operation In public life the pecu
mary Interests that are the most harmful.

He Relates to a Light Reporter an
Incident in the Life of Mary
Anderson.
MIR. Robert G. Cowardin, southwest
ern passenger agent Of the Nashville,
Chattanooga and st. Louis railroad, was
in the city yesterday. This genial gen.
tleman was formerly passenger CON-
ductor, and is sn observing man. In
conversation with LIGHT reporter Mr..
Cowardin said, IL am an old passenger
conductor, and worked upon road that
was much frequented by 'profes-
sionsls." Now, il any one has chance
of getting the inside track of them, 1t is
the conductor if he ia at all sharp. There
is much difference between actors and
actresses. Some are egotisticsl as angels,
some are genial, others cold and re-
served. while again many are awfully
s'loud" Booth is so reserved that he
will hardly say q word to any one. On
the other hand Barrett is quite genial
and laxative. l remember q funny
instance that occurred some years ago
Just after Mary Anderson had begun to
make money. We were travelling be-
tween Nashville and Chattanooga and
Mary, her mother and her step father,
DR.. Griffitbs. were on the train. l was
standing on the platform when gentle
man, did not then know, came out OF
the car. He was attired in light ulster
and there YVES pretty big wind up at
the time. The wind toyed violently
with his ulster, anG in few minutes a
quantity of papers in one Of the pockets
were strewed on the car platform and
track. The mans face was blanched
deathiy white, and regardless of conse-
quences, he threw himself down on the
car platform covering as many
of the papers as he could. At
the same time he exclaimed in
81 agonized tone: my God! that
Is ail | have In the world"
| pulled the bell violently and the train
was brought to stand-sti!l as soon 70
possible, and we aided the man TO r. E
cover his property which turned out to
h bonds worth $l2,CO. We gathered
all we could find aud, on checking,
found that only one bond was missing.
A search was made for the missing bond
and it YVES found securely resting on the
brake beam. The man who was DR..
Griffiths, Mary Anderson's step father.
ives overjoy ed at his good fortune, and
offered me $50 which l refused. be-
lieve, however, he insisted on the brake
man taking $40 and he did so. After
ward Mrs. Griffiths thanked me, and
when "Our Mary" gave one Of her sweet
smiles, felt that was amply rewarded
for what l had done. DR.. Griftiths
gave me q card admitting myself and
family to all Mary's performances, and
whenever we are near the theatre where
she plays l always 90. Then l think
of the past and an glad to have rem
dered her and her family such service
In the mere discharge Of my duty"

MOSES WEST.

Moses West is the nominee of the
Democratic party and asks the people
to consider his claims at the polls
next Monday. lie was born and
reared in North Christian, and for ii
number Of years has been a successful
merchant at Croflon. His business
career has been such as to elicit the
confidence and esteem Of the peo-
pie of the county. Personally he is a
man OF much kindliness and good
humor. lie is easy of approach, has
keen sense of justice and heart
full ofsympathy, while his character
is unblemished by any of the weak
uesses which assail humanity. lie is a
sober, discrete man, and will unques-
tionably make one of the best sheriils
the county ever had.
lie came into the race at the solicit
tation of many of the voters of both
parties who saw in him excellent tim
Der for a sheriff. Rarely has young
man been accorded such high regard
as is shown him by the people irres-
pective of party lines. With charac-
teristic energy he has made close,
fair, thorough canvas, and his elect
ion is one of the certainties of next
Mondays contest. Many Republic
cans who had tired of the rule of the
clique were influential in inducing
him TO run and these with augmented
numbers will prowdly give him their
enthusiastic Support at the coming
election. No man can feel that lie has
misplaced his ballot in voting for
West.
And now we appeal 10 his friends
to do him valiant service Monday.
Republicans who are his sta1nch
supporters can know, every one OF
them, that in voting for him, they are
voting for an honest man, a discrete,
energetic business man. With such
support as he will receive defeat IL
impossible. Let every man do his
full duty.

JUDGE MCPHERSON.

Rarely has a man offered for Office
in this county who so richly deserves
the honor he seeks as docs Col. Nc
Pherson the Office of Common Pleas
Judge. Richly endowed with native
talent he has attained TO extensive
legal learning, and an experience of
many years at the bar gives him the
full command of his abilities. Al
every point he is equipped for the
honorable discharge of the solemn
duties OF the Office to which he aspires.
With keen perception of proprie-
ties Judge Mcpherson has stunned
the arts of the mere politician and
comes asking that his claims shall he
considered from non-paTtisan stand
point. The Office is in no sense poll
teal, and when the people shall con-
slider for whom they shall vote,
their choice should be given TO
the man who most worthily wears the
quail iications essential 10 the posi-.
ton. Judge Mcpherson bears the
endorsement of his professional breth-
err, who with wonderful unanimity
selected him from among galaxy OF
legal stars as the one most worthy to
shine in the high Office of Common
Pleas Judge.
Another point we can not refrain
from mentioning. 1t is the custom in
this country 10 endorse an officer who
has served well with an election for a
second term. No man will deny that
Judge Mcpherson presided over the
spring term of his court with even
ability. His rulings
were fair and TO the point, aud he dis
patched business with consummatt
skill. lie thus has superior claim
on the consideration of our voters
sanctioned by The unwritten law OF
Ills friends should rally TO his sup
port Monday enthusiastically. The
people of the county can i'll afford TO
itand by and see SO worthy an
,fIlccr retired. lie is not the creature
If ring rule, and the people should
zee to it that the balance will be in
lis column Monday night. We know
hat the contest will be heated, but
We confidently believe that il his
riends do their duty he will reap a
rand victory next Monday.

A Great Gas Well.

CINCINNATI, Aug. DIR. Ernst
Weissenbauer, Professor of Geology
in lIeidelburg University, Germany,
is here for few days, after a visit of
scientific inspection to the natural
gas wells at Findlay, o. The Pro-
lessor says that he found the vastness
Of the gas deposits under Findliy
greatly underestimate, and that un-
derneath the town at great depth lay
mighty cavern filled with highly
innammable gas under tremendous
pressure. BY means of experiments
with delicate instruments, the Pro-
fessor has come to the conclusion
that at distance of only one mile
between the great gas cavity, which
lies under Findlay, fire is raging at
temperature of nearly $500 degrees.
Not satisfied with the observations
at one point, no took several wells
within radius of three miles, and
claims his first observations were
completely confirmed. lie says that
about 1900 feet below the city Of
Findlay lies an immense cavern. 1t
is several miles long, and in some
places more than half mile deep.
This is crowded full of gas which is
under pressure almost inconceiva-
BILE. Then come several strata OF
rock, perhaps a mile in thickness,
and then this great internal fire at a
temperature of over 5000 degrees.
The last of the layers which
lies directly over fires is melting
away. About ten miles from Findlay
on either side II is of great thickness,
but as it nears the town IL grows
thinner, the furance beneath disinte-
grating II and ever lessening the
barrier between itself and the gas
wells.
From the tremendous cracking
which is to be heard by the sound in
strument it is almost certain that the
disintegration is gong on with great
rapidity, aud the Professor seems to
think an early catastrophe not only
possible but probable.

1t is curious TO notice the prevail
ence of crime. No less than disease
it comes in epidemics, Murders,
manslaughters and all the various
manifestations Of crime seem to flock
together One who reads the papers

der column is either full or empty.
Last week in Kentucky there were all
unusual number of suicides. The in
lection seemed 10 prevail terribly.
An old tradition says crime prevails
when The east wind blows, and every
one remembers that the wandering
jew was the forerunner of the cholc-
ra plague. The day is coming when
crime will receive scientific investiga-
tion, and many useful rules may be
deduced 10 save humanity from many
OF the ills that flesh is heir to.
