THAT DISH OF CROW.

All through our political history it
has been the misfortune of some
good Democratic papers to sit down
to dish Of unsavory crow just after
a nominating convention. The
Dresden Enterprise, referring to the
many dishes of crow eaten two years
ago, advises the Democratic press of
Tennessee to avoid the mess in the
present contest for the gOvernOrship.
The Enterprise deplOres the DISPOSE
ton on the part of some papers to
Extensively criticise candidates whom
they may not be supporting, and
says "the candidates are all good
Democrats and would make good
governors, and while it is natural we
should prefer some above others, that
is no reason why we should make
war on other Democrats. Why not
content ourselves with saying good
words for our iavorite and being 81
lent as to other candidates unless we
can speak "A good word for them
also 2" This is all very fine talk and
nothing would please the LEAF
CHRONICLE better, for we do
abhor crow. But will the En-
terprise demonstrate how a faith
full newspaper can always do this and
discharge its duty to the public?
Good government is the object to be
attained in matters of this kind and
not the special interest Of candidates.
A wise and economical administra
ton for the welfare of all classes alike
without 1aVOritism, is essential to
the prosperity of the State and the
unity of Democracy. How are the
people to know the qualifications
and fitness of candidates to serve
these ends, unless the press discus
SEES their several merits and dement's.
If candidates cannot stand the fire Of
the press they should not set them
selves up for criticism, and papers
that never eat crow will never real
ize the contrast between that dish
and savory quail On toast
1t can't be true that all the candi-
dates possess the same qualifications
or merit for the Office. If so, then
the policy of the Enterprise might
be good and the selection would de
pend on which has the most friends
Perhaps our esteemed contempt
rary, the Enterprise, can answer
these questions and show us our duty
plain on that line, but unless it can,
we may have to eat crow. We don't,
however, like the nauSeating dish
well enough to gulp it down in
advance Of the convention and swear
that it is good when it is not. Crow
can't be tolerated as a private dish,
nor on any occasion except regular
Democratic makeup, love-teast.

A curious study has been made by Ger
man Psychologist, Herr Tarchenoff. Clay
electrodes connected with a delicate gal.
vanometer, were applied to the hands, feet
toes, nose, ear and back, when it was found
that electrical currents Of varying strength
were set up in the skin by mental excitation
of any kind Tickling with a brush or hot
water produced a strong current, and cold or
the pain of pin prick weaker one. I'm
pressions of sound, light, taste and smell
acted similarly. The skin currents were even
produced by imagining the sensatons and
when caused by mental effort varied with
the amount of work-a multiplication of
small numbers giving a weak current and of
larger numbers a stronger one. The currents
seem to be connected with the sweat glands,
which are aroused to increased action by
nearly every kind of nerve activity.-New

William Morris, the poet-author, seems to
be an eccentric genius His work is singularly
beautiful; certainly no other writer at the
present time has so strong and SO pure liter
airy style. Even his prose works are poems.
In person Morris is robust and square built
he has shaggy hair and he delights in rude
apparel. lie loves the sea, and nothing
pleases him more than to be mistaken for a
sailor; in fact, his appearance is somewhat
nautical.
One night he was rolling through one of
the narrow streets in the old city when he
was overhauled by a seafaring man. "Ayast

simply glorious. YES, am he" said Nor

c. G. Rainwater, chief engineer of the Wa

road management, said: Odd you ever con
slider what is the actual cost Of stopping
train2 | have been in the railroad business
since l was a boy and the question never Sc
riously occurred to me until one day in a
lawsuit at st. Louis, when the question came
up. John c. Garrett, general manager of the
Wabash, testified on the stand that the cost
of stopping an ordinary passenger train at
way station was 70 cents Being cross-exam-
ined, he admitted that a certain train run
ming between East st. Louis and Toledo was
paying his company about 81 per mile, and
being further questioned as to the number of
stops made on the road, it was established
that if it cost 70 cents for each stop, this pay
ing train, as Mr.. Garrett called it, lost money
to the extent of twice its operating expenses.
The decision of the jury in the case was based
on the conclusion that it cost about 80 cents
in wear and tear and time to stop an ordinary
passenger train at way station, and be-
lieve they were ABOUT right. New York

The mono-metallists are discour-
aged and have dcspaircd Of get
ting any of their banking schemes
through Congress so long as the
silver question is unsettled. Maj
Dorsey, chairman of the House
Banking Committee, is greatly dis
couraged and has allowed his bill for
refunding $500, 900, 900 of the four per
cent. bonds to 60 to the committee on
Ways and Means, where it is likely
to quietly remain for some time.
The Senate Finance committee are
lab0ring to compromise with the
silver advocates by issuing silver
certificates on bullion as Il national
currency, which they think is the
only thing the country can be induced
to do except in lieu of free coinage,
and they fear to attempt any banking
legislation until this question is set
tied, so strong is the free coinage SEN
timeut in both houses. The pressure
is coming from the country, and RS
little rs may be said about this qucs-
ton, it is up before the farmers; it
is being discussed in every wheel
alliance and grange throughout the
South and West. There are 1000
alliance lodges in Kansas and they
meet every two weeks, talk free coin
mage and write to their representa-
tives. The same is the ease in Iowa,
Illinois and other Western States.

Death of Mrs. Davis-High Water Cuts

To the Tobacco Leaf-ChrOnicle.l
The death of Mrs. VIM. Davis, OF
Woodford, which occurred on the
10th inst. was peculiarly sad. She
was the youngest daughter Of George
Elliott and wife, and niece of r. II,
Pickering of your city. Attractive
in person and manners, she was gen
orally beloved ; was married five OF
six years ago to Mr.. Davis, of Ken
lucky, but still lived in sight of the
old homestead. She leaves a little
girl of two years, and an infant son,
to miss, but too tender to mourn a
mothers loss. Funeral at 10 a. m.
Wednesday by her pastor, Rev. j. j.
Conner, and interment at the family
hurying ground, within whose beau
tiiul enclosure three members of Mr..
Elliott's family have been laid to
rest in less than year; two daugh-
tiers and a brother. May the bereft
one receive that comfort which God
and time alone can give.

ment-the stomach. Scared by the eldrich
sprite, dyspepsia, digestion flies and re-
fuses to return. What can break the spell,
what can raise the ban laid upon the I'M

Hostetter's Stomach Bitters, and we are

testimony of myriads, covering period of
over third of century. A course of the

and persistently followed, will terminate
in cure positive, not partial The bitters
restores tone to the epigastric nerve, re-
