When the steamer had landed at

The National Democrat.

The first number Of the National
Democrat, published at Washington
d. c., has reached our table. It is
Democratic to the core and takes the
administration severely to task for
grave mistakes in appointing to office
persons Of unsavory character. Over
two columns Of the paper are devoted
to tho names and previous record of
persons appointed to official positions
by President Harrison. Following
is an extract from the leading edi-
torial:
ut is proposed that the new journal
shall contain q more extensive and
complete record Of political matters
and events than is furnished by any
newspaper now published. The
greatest pains will be taken to watch
and expose the conduct Of the party
in power, and the character of men
appointed to public Office will be thor
oughly scrutinized and accurately set
forth to the people. It is evident
that in this department of journalistic
endeavor alone there is ample just
itication for an aggressive Democratic
newspaper in the city of Washington.
Correspondence concerning the po-
litical affairs Of every State and Ter
ritory will be leading feature of The
National Democrat"

of every intelligent voter in the land.

sense which has always distinguished
his management of his own affairs.
He has refused to buy Prince Hatz-
feldt's title at the valuation set upon
it by its owner. There are plenty of
eligible young men in America who
are better than Prince Hatzfeldt was

ask their wives to pay their gambling
debts.
A constitutional provision stipula
ing that every voter shall be able to
read has been adopted by the Consti-
tutional Convention of Wyoming.
This is step in the right direction,
but we would amend the provision
by inserting the word English"
after the word read. We believe that
every voter should be able both to
speak and read the English language.
The Sacramento Bees score of
baseball games played at various
cities throughout the Union on Thurs
day is very interesting reading, as
their stereotype plates indicate moth
ing more than black spot. Their
score by innings of the games played
at Sacramento and San Francisco on
the same day shows a series OF black
spots numbered from 1 to IL, and q
similar character indicating the total.
A South Norfolk Conn.,, dispatch
says:-"Charles Locke, aged 6 years,
has been sentenced to the State Re-
form School tor term of fifteen years
for fighting another child" If this
be true there is plenty OF work
for the fool-killer in Connecticut.
The idea Of sending up child of that
age for fifteen years is worse than
barbarous; it seems more like the
work Of committee of idiots.

Notice to Teachers.

In view Of the recent decision of
Judge Wells, and after careful con-
sideration, I am convinced that there
is no authority in law for issuing a
second grade certificate and making
it valid for two years. Therefore all
teachers who hold such certificates
In this county are required to forward
them to me Immediately, and they
will be renewed for one year to cover
the time for which they were origin
ally granted. No vouchers for salary
will be issued until this is done.

Knife versus Fork.

There is much controversy as to
the use Of the knife in conveying food
to the mouth, and Fulton G. Berry
writes sensible article to the Elk
aminer from which we make the fol-
lowing extracts:
l have no objection to any man eat
ing with the fork if it pleases him,
but 1 deny most emphatically that he
has any right to censure my use Of
the knife or to sneer ut me as an un
derbred person because my table
habits differ from his. How does he
know; how do you know; how does
any one know that it is right to use
the fork to convey food to the mouth
and wrong to use the knife for that
purpose?
Forks have been in use nearly, if
not quite, as many years as knives,
yet it was not until the end Of the
seventeenth century that any one
thought Of putting a fork into his
mouth. A refined and cultured lady a
few hundred years ago would have as
soon used her toes to convey food to
her mouth as fork. Now I sup
pose some one will get up and say
that it was not until lately that real
refinement existed in the world.
Well, if history and art do not lie
there was more refinement in Greece
400 years B. G. and more in Egypt
1000 B. @. than tho world has ever
seen since. /. suppose the dainty
Cleopatra, who never wore a garment
second time or passed day without
I bathing at least twice, was as re-
fined as our modern danes. She never
used fork at table, nor did the
Queen OF Sheba, Helen Of Troy, or
Penelope. Queen Elizabeth, who
wore silk stockings and satin night
! gowns, used her knife, and though
she was red haired and had a horrid
temper, she knew as much about
1ashlonaDle society as any one Of heI
time.
remember some time ago when
seated at hotel table hearing q lady
speak in terms of disgust of gentle
man who was eating stewed tripe
! Spanish style with o knife. When
! she rose from the table 1 saw hel
take a well used toothpick and file il
away behind her ear for future
! reference.
