HarriSNniS Predecessors.
RI. Scou Moni,or.1

An industrious Washington CORES
pondent has made an interesting col
lection Of facts about President Har-
rison's predecessors. We learn that
the oldest President was General Har-
rison's grandfather, who was sixty
seven when inaugurated; the young
est was Gen. Grant, forty-six, and the
next youngest was Cleveland, forty
seven. The tallest President was the
first, George Washington, who sur
veyed his country from an altitude of
six feet four inches; the shortest was
James Madison, who was only FIVE feet
one and half inch. John Quincy
Adams had the greatest educational
advantages, his training having been
obtained at the Universities of Leyden
and Harvard. Jackson is said to have
been exceedingly ignorant of law, pol
itics. science and everything which a
man who governs a country ought to
know. A majority of the Presidents
were military men. Grant had the most
extensive military experience, and
Hayes was wounded four times in bat
tie. 1t has frequently happened that
the successful candidate did not re-
ceive majority of the popular vote.
The most striking case was that of
John Quincy Adams, who was elected
with only 32.lS per cent of the popu-
lar vote. Monroe came nearer to be-
ng the unanimous choice of the peo-
Die, receiving 1929 per cent of the
popular vote. while Washington
'btained 9l.77 per cent.

The Country and the President.

lHe democracy Is beaten, but lt Is
not dismayed. Being a party of prin-
ciples, it viii live and be hopeful in
the fac, OF any disaster. II has been
beaten MANI times, bnt has always
survived defeat and risen superior to
adverse circumstances.
The United States is too big coun-
try with too intelligent a population
to be materially affected by the tenn
pocary success of the Republican par
tv. II the Harrison administration
adopts any policy that will be inju-
rious to its interests, the people will
very SOON call it to account. We have
too much confidence in the people, in
their Intelligence, patriotism and CON-
mon sense to imagine that because of
the election Of Mr.. Harrison, ruin
and disaster are inevitable.
We DO not believe that the Repub-
iicans will dare to attempt any hos
tile legislation against the South, or
that if they do that they will be able
TO carry it through. and if the
South is let alone it is bound to GO
forward on its road to prosperity.
The change in the administration
of the country seldom has the effect
that the more enthusiastic partisans
imagine.
When Mr.. Cleveland was chosen
President four wears ago, some of the
more rabid Republicans made wild
statements, which they dislike ex-
tremely to hear repeated to-day.
The election of Mr.. Cleveland, thew
declared, meant the ruin of the coun-
try; the negroes would be re-enslaved,
the factories would close and general
bankruptcy ensue. Old P. 7. Barnum
was a fair representative of this class
when he offered to sell his real estate
for % per cent below cost if Mr..
Cleveland was elected, because it
would depreciate that much in value.
A number of Connecticut manufac-
turers were Of the same way of think
ing, and declared their intention to
close their factories if Democracy
triumphed. 1t is needless to say that
none of these gentlemen kept their
word; indeed, one of the manufac
turers who psoposed to close up. has
IN the contrary enlarged his works
md more than doubled his produc-
ion.
The United States is too great
country to be material injured by the
hOice Of any man for President, or by
he triumph of any party. If the
lewly elected President goes wrong
he people will very soon put him
traight again; if the Republican par
y attempts to. play any fantastic
ricks or to disturb the peace and
Of the South and the .coun-
ry at large, it will be relocated by
he people-its masters-to sudden
nd deserved obscurity.-Times-D Dem

Farmer Kane's Periious Hobby.

great an annoyance has Kane been to the
railroad officials and the police that he has
been arrested fined, and imprisoned near
~ dozen times.
Last night he was intoxicated and drove
furiOusly down the Central railroad tracks
and swung around the station to make a
Decline for the Pennsylvania road. At
that instant the Chicago limited vas rush
ing by the station at the rate of thirty-tive
miles an hour. Kane. unconscious of dan
ger, drove on. and in another moment
would have collided with the express. PO-
liceman Eckert. who was getting his boots
BACKED al the station, jumped forward and
caught the horse by the bride, and with a
mighty effort pulled the animal aside, just
as the train was upon him. The cars
graZed the side of Kane's vehicle, which
tilted up while the aflrighted owner chung

Farmer Kane was taken into custody and
the officer had to strike his hands with a
club before he would release his grip on
the wagon-seat. Justice Hetteld fined HIM
heavily to-day and warned him if he ever
repeated his pranks he would get long
term IN prison.
