THAT CRUEL invention, the barbed wire
fence, has been found to contain another
terror for cattle. In Somerset county, Pa,
last Sunday, two cows lying by the side of
wire fence, were instantly killed by an
electric shock, the wire having been
charged by lightning.

Pocket Electoral Votes.

Wyoming. which has just elected a
Legislature that is to send two more
Republican Senators to Washington,
has total population of go, ,222, which
is much less than that OF West Phila-
delphia and about one-third of the
population required to elect a single
Representative in Congress from Penn
sylvania. Yet Wyoming will have
three electoral votes.
Idaho is another of these new pock ct
States, with population even less
than that of Wyoming-60,.2 It al
so will have three electoral votes. The
two together, with an aggregate popu-
lation of 120, ,347, will offset the Presi-
dental vote of Connecticut, with a
population of 732, 493.
The other new States are not so alb
surdly small and have some possibili-
ties of growth, but the whole six to-
gether have now but three-fourths the
population of Philadelphia, and yet
they not only will have as many or
more Representatives,, but will have
twelve Senators and eig hteen electoral
votes.
The aggregate population of the six
new states is $50, ,724, or but a triaa
more than that of Connecticut, yet.
they will have eighteen electoral votes
to Connecticut's six. New Jersey has
twice the population of all these new
States together and yet they will have
just twice the weight of New Jersey in
the Presidential election.
The bogus States were created for
the purpose of securing Republican
control of the Senate and making it
easier for minority to elect the Presi-
dent. The first part of the scheme has
succeeded ed.-Phitadelphia Tunes.

From the Wild West.

LIVINGSTON. Mon, Sept. II, 1890.
Ed. Register-I noticed in the paper
a few weeks go letter from Miss r.
after trip to st. Paul, and was much
pleased to see it. While they were
there am sorry they did not come out
to Montana aud visit the Park, the
wonderland of this continent, and / am
quite sure they would never have re-
gretted the week spent in the trip.
AS Miss R. says in her letter the seem
cry around st. Paul is beautiful, but as
you enter the Rockies it is more ro-
mantle and especially through the
"bad lands" of Dakota and Montana,
which you see from the train as you
pass through them.
On the 9th I was pleas santly surpris-
ed by two gentlemen stepping off of
our morning train from Southeast Mis-
souri,, Messers. G. c. and S. s. Bow

mark, and the former from Marqusnd,

NUMBER 12. At Low PRICES.

1t is probable that it Is due to both
causes. The journalist is necessarily q
| man of the world; he deals with life
rather than books. He studies men
and cont emp9rary affairs rather than
printed pages, He has comparatively
little use for books in his work; that is,
while he is doing his work. Ofcourse,
the editorial writer must be familiar
with history, with the causes which
have led up to the political condition of
the present time. He is constantly re-
prospecting. The movements of the
moment, however, largely absorb him,
and as these movements are chronicled
in the daily press he is obliged to de-
vote himself mainly to the reading of
news. 1t is this necessity of keeping
abreast with the times which is one of
the causes which prevents many journ-
ailsts from being students of books.
In answer To the ques ton whether
too much reading of newspapers d.
stroys "A taste for books, we should ap-
ply the principle that too much of any
good thing is bad-that as too much
reading of books is apt to clog the in
tellect, so too much reading of newspa-
pers is apt to create distaste for books.
The newspaper has evolved into some
thing more of late than "a mere vehicle
for the conveyance to the public eye
of news. It has of late invaded the
pro mise which books formerly occupi-
ed alone. Our newspapers are every
day adding to their literary featurers
and giving to their readers opportupi-
ties OF acquiring through them fair
knowledge of the best poetry now writ
ten. as well as the best prose. Many
people who could not be persuaded to
read books are devoted To the perusal
IF the daily paper. Aud surely the in
tellectual activity thus excited is bet
ter than none.

Newspapers or Books.

The Pail Mall Budget has been in
vestigating the question as to what
class of people reads most, says the
Boston Ir r1Uelter. It takes its statls-
tics from the report of the committee
of the Birmingham free libraries,
which shows that during the year 1889
the following was the proportion OF
books taken out by various grades of
readers. Scholars and students l, 1892;
clerks anu book-keepers, 1.138; errand
and office boys, sol; teachers, 293;
shop assistants, 290; jewelers., 216;
compositors aud printers, 1872; millin-
ers aud dressmakers, 100; journalists,
s; news agents, z.
These figures at first sight strike one
as rather remarkable. They are lit
tie misleading, however. 1t does not
follow because great many clerks and
book-keepers take more books out of
libraries than jewelers., for example, do,
that clerks and shop-keepers read more
than jewellers, for there are a great
MANY more members of the former
class than there are of the latter. In
order to obtain accurate statistics with
regard to this question, we ought to
know what portion of each class read
and compare the various proportions.
1t is particularly interesting to observe
that journalists are nearly al the foot
of the list which the the Pail Mall
Budget has arranged. "Is this" says
the budget. "bacause. they have Ii
braries of their own, or because the
people who write In newspapers lose
the taste for reading books?"

lowing prohibition plank: 1--WE pledge

and honest enforcement" And yet
the great bulk of the German NATIONAL
ity support that party, which favors
the confiscation of all brewing and dis
tilliDg property. The Republican
States of Maine, Iowa and Kansas are
just now undergoing almost revolu-
ton over the enforcement of their pro-
hibition laws. The Germans mus
learn by dearly bought experiene
which of the two parties are met ;
friendly towards them, with tbir
boasted cry Of personal liberty.' Jet
them choose this fall between the ar
ty that sustuins prohibition andthe
party that is opposed to all sumprary
laws. The Germans will yet hae to
follow the farmers into the Demefatic

1t is useless to attempt to conceal
the significance of the Arkansas cleo
ton by repeating these stale falsehoods,
which have served the purposes of
partisan mendacity for 20 years. The
Republican party had Arkansas al
most within its grasp. just as it almost
had North Carolina and Virginia. In
another four years of Mr.. Cleveland's
administration, the desire at the South
for change would have co-opera ated
with forgetfulness of what Republi-
canism really is to revolutionize sever
al of the leading States of the South.
But now, after two years of Republic
can radicalism, the whole movement
of the country is against it, and even
in Vermont the party loses thousands
of votes. The patriotic conservatism
of the country is plain enough now,
but it will be palmer in NOyember.-
