oueer Fact ABOUT the Lady Bug.

It is curious fact that the Australian
lady bug, which was brought to this
state to make war upon the cotton cnsh-
ion scale, has become extinct in its ma
tive land, and that Australia is to be
supplied with new stock Of the useful
parasite by our state board Of horticult-
ure. The lady bug, known as the We
dalia, haspbeen worth millions Of dollars

GENERAL JOE GEloER.

Two Stories About the Ugllest Man in the
State Of Ohio.
There Is another story told as original on
quaint old Joe Geiger, says the Washing
ton Post. He has always been known as
the ugliest man in Ohio, and prided himself
on this distinctive and superlative title. 1t
10 not every man who can achieve super
lative. When he was campaigning for the
Republicans down on the big Darby he was
introduced as the ugllest man In Ohio. His
fame, both in this respect and as o great
joker, had preceded him, of course. A
village joker, who was no prize beauty him
salt, arose when Joe was introduced, and,
pointing pistol at him, said: 81 made
solemn vow many years ago that if ever
met man uglier than myself I would kill
him.
Joe looked at him second and exclaimed: !:
"Shoot, for Gods sake, shootl If / am
ugher than you are want to dep
Another story about Joe relates to his
habit when he was speechmaking of hav-
ing something in the way OF "stimilent"
on his desk to partake of during his efforts.
He used to have private engagement with
his agent by which some gin was put in his
pitcher, which he would pour out as pure,
unadulterated water, so far as appearances
went.
Once when he was about to open up to q
large audience in Mansfield which included
John Sherman, one of those busybodies
who make themselves prominent on
crowded occasions hustled up and took the
prepared pitcher.
"lll get you some fresh water, General"
he said, effusively.
mo, mol" exclaimed the General in great
alarm. ''That water is all right. / don't
like fresh water"
"But this has been standing here some
time," said the fend, land is stale. 1t
won't take me but moment, General"
"Please leave that water" begged the
General, in an agonized voice. ~ love stale
water; love it real stale and warm That
water isn't warm and stale enough Fresh
water makes my head ache. Please leave
It, Don't trouble yourself, / beg Of you.n
"Oh, no trouble at ALL" said the fend,
cheerfully, and away he went for fresh
water, followed by the Generals eye, which
had an expression embracing the glare Of
the eye of tiger thirsting for blood and
the look that Is never seen in the human
eye except when despair is In the heart.
The General can never tell the story
without shudder, and always concludes it
by asserting his belief that it was job put
up on him by Sherman.

Without u bang or hustle;

And iron wagons roar.

How used to carry water

Where glory falls about her
As she plucks the brightest flowers.

Ere the frosts of many winters
Crowned her lovely b ow with snow.
Yes. to me she is US pretty

And join her In the shade;

For know her cheek will crimson,
And her eyes Ill brighter grow
When slip my arm around her,
As used to long ago.
And-since I've thought about IL

From tho spring this Sunday evening

THE FREE BALLOT SHAM.

The blear-eyed hypocrisy OF the
republican party in its persisten
bowls for a free ballot and a fail
count once more receives ample il
lustration in the election which oc
Cured the other day in Rhode Is
land for governor and other state OF
fcers. There were three or foul
different sets of tickets in the field
and the democratic ticket was large
ly in the lead. The law of Rhode
Island, however, requires that a can
didate must receive a majority Of al
the votes cast before he can be de
cIared elected. This applies to the
candidates for senator's and repre-
sentatives as well. If no candidate
fer governor receives majority vote
the election is thrown into the legis-
lature, and in those senatorial and
representative districts where candi-
dates fail to get majority supple
mental elections are held. At first
blush it would look as though the
law requiring majority vote was as
fair for one party as another. But
it is not. The reason is that every
town in the state is allowed repre-
sentative, and the largest town is
not allowed more than the smallest.
The republican strength is in the
small towns and the democratic
strength is among the workingmen
of the large cities. A majority OF
the voters of the state are demo
cratic, but under the electoral sys-
TEN, and under the system of appor-
tioning members of the legislature,
which is a part of the constitution
fastened on the organic law While
the democratic party was in the mi
nority, it is almost impossible for
the will of the people to be carried
out The republican party is mi
nority party all over the country,
and without the negro vote it would
be an exceedingly small minority
party. 1t came into existence and
elected its first president by a mi
nority vote and has remained a
minority party ever since. And the
only reason that it has been enabled
to maintain supremacy is because it
has been the persistent and consis-
tent foe of a free ballot and a fair
count, and has traded upon the IN
holy passions and prejudices of men
and have sedulously kept famed
into existence and life the slowly
dying embers of sectional hate,
and have formed an alliance with the
most corrupt professional politicians,
the banded cormorants and the mo-
nopolistic nabobs who grow fat on
the bounties exacted from the farm
ers and laboring men and poor peo-
pie for their gam. The unbroken
record of the republican party bellies
its hypocritical cant about a free
ballot and fair count, except as APP
piled to the South, where the g. o.
p. is under a permanent cloud.

THE DAVIS MONUMENT.

The BANNER does not believe in
constantly stirring up the memories
of and keeping famed into life the
dying embers of sectional hate and
passion growing out OF the unfortu-
nate fratricidal struggle between the
two sections of this country, and
would prefer that the issues be rel
egated forever, and that the central
figures in that unfortunate drama
who have since passed off the stage
be allowed to sleep the last sleep in
peace. But there are duties which
we owe to the dead as we'll as to the
living. a subscription list was
opened in this city last week to col
lect funds for the purpose of erect
ing monument to the lasting men,
DRY of the late Jefferson Davis, the
dead chieftain OF the dead and past
Confederacy. And apropos of this
movement and in justification Of it
did it need any justifcation) it is
not inappropriate here to reproduce
the recent remarks of the famous au-
thor and histo ian Of this country on
the life and character of the man
upon whose devoted head fell the
sinsG) of the whole confederacy.
Last fall while Jefferson Davis was
on his deathbed James Redpath, the
political historian, who is a strong
republican, went from his home in
the North to visit Mr.. Davis, and
afterwards contributed an article to
the magazines. The effect of his
visit to the confederate hero is told
in his own language in the follow
ing:
when returned north, aud was
asked as was asked almost daily:
well how dc you Ike Davis /! I
did not hesitate to reply, whether in
private or in public: 1 don't like
him at ALL love him. And l am
not ashamed to confess that when I
first realized Mr.. Davis was Oh his
death-bed, L found no sleep that
night until my pillows were wet with
tears. Nor do I hesitate to say, now
that he is dead, that I never. either
in my own country OF in foreign
countries, met any man whom l re-
gard as Mr., Davis superior in the
many virtues.
1t is time to drop, and drop for
