4 Great Cause of Profanity.

The number Of papers that lose their wrap
pers IN the mails is enormous, The principal
reason is that they are put on with poor
mucilage It is astonishing what a great
variety OF worthless mucilage is sold in the
stationery stores under various labels It is
very exaspefatlng to try and put up a paper
with aucilage and find it unroll about as fast
as it is wrapped, That iswhat happens when
nine out OF ten of The different samples of
mucilage one is offered in the stores is used
The poor quality OF this mpcilage is probably
attributable to the high rate at which gum
arabic has been sold since the war in the
Soudan.-New York Evening Sun.

Campalgn Funds Needed.

(. WASHINGTON, October 13.--lSpecial.l- T.
Chairman w. III. Barnum, of the democratic
national committee, was here today in consul
tation with the department officers and others
in regard to raising campaign funds. For the
present work there is ample money in hand,
but large amount will be needed for use dur
ing the ten days proceeding the election. 1t
is for this purpose he is now endeavoring to
raise funds. The democratic officials and en-
ployes at Washington have not been prompt
in contributing money. In fact they have been
slow, and Mr.. Barnum came here TO impress
upon the higher officials tho importance of
suggesting to their subordinates that they give
up q small proportion of their salaries for the
good of the party. There is to be no coercion,
but persons - male persons only - who
are drawing salary through the
kindness of the democracy are to be
gently reminded that money is absolute
ly necessary, and that unless the democratic
administration shall succeed itself, there Off
cial tenures will be short. Mr.. Barnum's visit
will undoubtedly have its effect, for the Off
Gals with whom he talked expressed the opin-
ion that much money would be subscribed by
the clerks as soon as they were notified that
the national committee needs ii. Mr.. Bar
mum refused to talk to correspondents today.
1t fact, it is not his nature or habit to shout
his political doings from the hopsetop. But
an official with whom he talked informed me
that Mr.. Barnum said the democratic situation
was much moro encouraging than at this time
four years ago, and III his opinion Cleveland
was certain to win.

Heavy Rain storms.

MARQUETTE, Mich, June 1l.-Rsports come
in from different parts of the Peninsula, all
giving accounts of the damage by the great
rain storms of Saturday and Sunday. Inc
storm appears to have been heavier at or
near Lake Linden than elsewhere, although
ali tue country for hundred miles each
wav was visited. The storm burst like
vaterspout. At Calumet the Methodist
church was struck by lightning and large
quantity of water poured into the great Gal
umet and Hecla mine before the miners
could be protected. AT Portage Eatry. the
ouarries are stopped, being full of water
Reports from Lake Linden estimate the
damage at 1000. Nearly every basement
il the city is flooded and an immense quaint
ty of merchandise is damaged. No trains
can enter the town on the Hancock and CAL
umet road because of washous.

O'Clock this morning, James Foster, color
ed man, was taken from Jail by mob and
huag. Foster was arrested Thursday morn
ing, at the instance of John Howard, charg-
ed with criminal assault upon the latter's
little eightyear old daughter, few miles
feom Henderson, in the country. Foster on
being arrested strenuously denied his guilt,
hit tho most conclusive evidence of it was
found. As the quiet little city was asleep
at midnight, 200 Kentuckians mounted on
horseback and armed to the teeth torepel an
oficinl resistance rode into the city. Pull.
ling up at the Jail they made dash for the
barred doors and before the jailer was fully
alarmed they we're inside. Breaking down
the cell door they dragged the prisoner to
the scene OF his crime and hung him.

RACINE, Wis, June 11.-Johu zacher, lr.,
son of wealthy Bohemian farmer living in
Mount Pleasant township. five miles north,
has not tasted food for tweDty-.hree days.
During the greater portion of that time he
has done arduous farm work, but has now
gown so weak thai anything more laborous
than lighgt hores exhaust him. He talks ra-
tionaly and gives no other reason for his alb
stinence than that he is not hungry. Two doc.
tors have been treating him, but their efforts
to induce him to take food have 30 far
proved unavailing. 1t is thought his self
imposed fast is pronounced symptom OF
insanity, although there are no other lndica
tions of mental weakness. Insanity has run
in the family for several generations. Zach,

MONDAY EVENING. JUNE II.

DURING THE Senatorial investigation OF
the civil service humbug in Baltimore last
Saturday, Senator Blackburn asked Wit
ness named Henderson what his politics
were. The reply he received was: "a ke'
publican, an uqlali6ed republican, and l
work for the party whenever and wherever
I can" That's right" said the Senator.
o. the same day the newly appointed dem
ocraic postmaster at Washington reappolnt'
ed as his assistant a well known republican
TIE national democratic convention did
W. Ii in ignoring the civil service law. That
law should be repealed as soon as possible
The President has the power to change the
civil service rules, and should do 80 tenor
row. The appointment and resppointment
of republicans to Office uuder a democratic
administration is calculated, very naturally
to produce the impression that in all the
democratic party suitable men for the offices
can not be found and that the government
is dependent upon republicans for the eth
Gent performance of its functions.

Mr.. SCOTT, of Pennsylvania, the scknowl
edged representative of the administration
in the U S. House of Representatives, in
reference to the action of the recent ST.
Louis convention, spoke to correspondent
Of the New York Tribune ss follows "Well,
it all turned cut just as it was planned, the
nomination, the platform, everything H.
cluded. Not single thing mscarred.
brought cut that platform myself. Not the
crossing of t, not the dotting ofan was
changed. 1t was adopted just as it was APP
proved by the President" THIS can hardly
be true, for If it be, the President is as incon
sistant as many OF the lesser leaders of the
democratic party. There is as much differ
ence between the platform of 1884, which is
reaflirmsd ia the platform referred to by
Mr.. Scott, AID the Presidents last annual
message to Congress. as there could possibly
be between any other two things relating to
the same subject.

IRON CAN be made at such small cost in
the South, owing to the superior natural
facilities for it's manufacture possessed by
this section, the. all the protection Southern
iron needs against its foreign rival is that
necessarily afforded by the freight charges
on three thousand miles of ocean transport
ta,ion. Then, too, with the tariff on other
articles removed or reduced. SO that foreign.
ers could exchange their goods for American
products, and not be compelled, as they now
are, to pay for them with gold. the markets
of the world would be thrown open to cheap
Southern iron, and its manufacture be in
creased to an untold degree.

THE SPEED with which nearly the whole
of the Presidents term has gone by shows
what short period four years compose in
the life of country, q party or even man.
1t ia span that is gone almost before its du
ration is realized. The democrats have
stood that term pretty we'll. They can GER
tainly stand another, which cannot be more
Questionable to som democrats than it has
been, and which, in sll probability, will be
less so. If be be defeated, the republicans
would have another twepty-four years
lease OF power. To avoid all risk of that
danger is surely sufficient reason to in
duce all men who are democrats from prin-
ciple to stand by their party's nominee.

Mr.. COLLINS, in his speech accepting the
craftsmanship of the recent national demo.
cratic convention. enumerated the princi-
pies of democracy. giving prominent place
to the following: The honest payment OF
our debts and the preservation of our public
faith" The platform adopted by the con.
ventiop endorsed this, together with the
other cardinal principles of democracy. For
the good of Virginia and all her people.
black as well as white, it is hoped the State
may sustain this platform and give demo-
cratic majority next fall ; but to do SO, in
view of the action OF her recent democratic
State conventions and legislatures on
the State debt question, will certainly be
anything else than consistent.

an artist. Potter followed his wife to Rig

bezzled some of the money collected. Pot
ter alleges that his wife inspired the artist
to make this charge in order to get him out
