CONGRESSMAN FoRAN, of Cleveland,
who has been mentioned as possible
candidate on the Democratic ticket next
fall for Governor, says that'he ''would not
accept the nomination if rendered him
on a silver salver," and at the same time
serves notice on the millionaire coal oil
kings and railroad wreckers that ''they
must keep their hands out of the fight
next fall;'' ''the rank and file do not
want their help" 'The gentleman from
Ohio is quite positive as to these mat
tiers, but Pap Payne and Cal Brice will
take full hands at the proper time.

SINCE the election of Harrison the
American flag is becoming fashionable
again. The Pennsylvania House has
ordered to third reading the bill re-
quiring the National flag to be displayed
over every public school house in the
State. OF course there were objections
by Democrats, but this is not astonish-
ing. when it is recollected that they
have the faculty of getting on the wrong
side of most questions when that partic-
ular flag is involved.

THE Clerk of a township is the indi-
vidual charged by law with the disburse-
ment of moneys in the township Treas
nry. No matter what the Trustees or
the Board of Education may order, if the
law does not expressly provide for the
payment the Clerk should refuse to draw
the order. The law fixes the response
bility upon the Clerk. No money can
lawfully get out of the Treasury except
upon his order. When Clerk draws an
order to pay claim not provided for by
law he is as clearly guilty of crime. as
is the Treasurer who carries the money
off to Canada, and he and his bond are
liable.

APPEARANCES indicate that the pres
sent plan of the free traders is to
prevent any tariff legislation at this ses-
sion of Congress by reporting substi-
tute for the Senate bill, which will oc-
cupy the attention of Congress until it
adiourns without action, thus prevent
ing a reduction of the revenues and of
taxes. 1t is apparent that the dominant
party is bound to stop the enactment of
any revenue legislation unless they can
have it their own way. The special
matter of interest in the proposed sub
stitute is that it will be the most radical
free trade measure ever presented to
Congress and advocated by the Democ-
racy. It would greatly increase the free
list, and if enacted into law, disturb be-
yond measure the labor and capital en-
gagged in American industries. Pig
and scrap iron would be on the free list
as well as wool and all material that
free traders see fit to denominate as
raw. Oh, no! the fight is not over, say
Democratic politicians; but they are do
ing their level best to reduce their par
ty to the minimum, even though it may
not be especially select.

Additional Editorial on first page.

ONE of the most infamous political
outrages ever perpetrated in the South
was the brutal assassination, last week,
of Hon. John N. Clayton, late Republi-
can candidate for Congress in the sec
ond Arkansas district. The counties
composing the district gave a State Re
publican majority for Governor of about
5000. After the election Clayton claim
ed that he had been elected by more
than thousand plurality, but when the
ballots were counted there was found to
be plurality of $40 in favor of Clifton
r. Breckenridge, the present incumbent,
and the certificate of election was is
sued to him. Col. Clayton filed a notice
of contest and went to work to secure
evidence of the frauds by which Breck-
enridge sought to secure his seat. At
the place where he was murdered,
Plummerville, where ordinarily the Re-
publican majority is about 500 the bal
lot box was stolen by masked men and
was never returned. The proof of the
theft and other OutrageS presented to
Congress would unseat Breckenridge
and hence some of his partisans planned
and carried into execution the murder
of Clayton. This brutal assassination
is only another illustration of the fact
that man takes his life into his hands
when he asserts his rights as Republi-
can in the Democracy-ridden South. 1t
is high time that heroic treatment be
administered to that class who have
never accepted the results of the war,
and continue to set the laws at defiance.

A Blooded Racers Pluck.

A blooded racer possesses one essential
quality that scrub horses seldom have
pluck. You will lind many common
horses that possess line points, so far as
wind, muscle and structure are concerned;
but in race they will nearly always
throw up their tails and give up in disgust
if passed by an adversary, or if they feel
like they can't win. Flora Temple, the
queen of trotters in her day, was an ex-
ception TO this rule. She never knew
what il was 10 be beaten. and always put
forth her utmost efforts until the driver
commanded her To slacken her speed. A
race horse is like gamecock in that he
must have nerve To supplement his nat
ural powers There are blooded animals
that will 90 their level best until they
drop. Ii is useless 10 use u whip on that
kind of an animal; they are born fighters,
and eXult rs much i'm a victory as their
owners. such racers also have superior
intelligence, and if they are not too high
strung they can be trained in the arts and
tricks Of the turf. All blooded animals
do not possess pluck. however, and such
as are lacking i'm this quality are more fit
for the pillow than The track. Jockey"

The WAY ia ran Down.

THE special providence that seems TO
hover over drunken men aud children has
something of an explanation said well
known and eminent medical man 10 a re-
porter in the fact OF The main cause of
the breakage of bones from falls being
from resistance of the tendons more
often than from the violence of the shock
incident to the actual fall. A child or an
intoxicated person will rarely endeavor
with any great effort tO recover their bal
ance when they slip rtOpple over. Hence
no special resisting force is exercised, and
they sink into collapsed heap without
serious injury. When an adult in posses
sion of his sound SenSPS undertakes, with
endless cOntortions and gyratons, To save
himself from going down. he draws every
muscle and sinew taut aud if the wrench
is too severe the bone breaks. There is
no way of definitely proving il. but it is
asserted, and | believe with some show of
truth. that some, at least. of the fractures
resulting from falls especially from a
height, happen before the actual shock
with the substance one falls on occurs.
It's strange, but | guess it is the truth"
