TIE Republican House of Rep
resentatives has stultified itself in
unseating Representative BREoK-
INRIDGE, Of Arkansas. The charge
that the Democrats had full con-
troll and possession of the ballot
box in the Plummersville district
for the purpose Of stufing it in the
interest Of BRECKINRIDGE, and then
destroying the box III his inter-
est is simply preposterous. Ii the
Democrats had stuffed the box in
the interest Of BRECKENRIDGE they
would not have stultihed them
selves by destroying the ballots.
1t is presumable the Republicans
stole the box themselves and de-
stroyed the ballot to Justify them
selves in the eyes Of the public in
crying fraud against the Democrats
If the true facts in the matter are
ever found out, they will probably
show dirty Republican trick.

The deliberations of the road
congress, which assemblies at Nash
vile the Goth Of this month, will
be watched with considerable in-
terest, as it is one Of the most i'm
portant public meetings ever held
in Tennessee. Every one is more
or less interested in good public
highways; nothing conduces more
to develop the resources Of a coun-
try, or stimulates business so much
or adds more to the prosperity and
happiness Of a people than good
highways. The public highways
of Tennessee are proverbially bad
and the object Of the congress is
to thoroughly discuss the subject
of public highways as the first steI
to have the subject brought prom,
inently before the next genera
assembly of Tennessee, The con,
gress will most likely formulate {
bill to be submitted to the mex
general assembly providing fol
the maintenance of good highway
throughout the State. The county
court of Benton has done its dut,
in appointing intelligent men t.
represent the county in the con
gress, and the public good require
the delegates to attend the con
gress and use their best endeavo
in the interest Of good public high
ways in Tennessee.

IT is clearly evident from the
returns Of last weeks election that
the conservative element of the vot-
ers Of Tennessee believe that the
Democratic party is worthy to be
entrusted with the affairs Of county
government and local Offices, and
Tennessee can send greetings to
Alabama and Kentucky.

CARROLL COUNTY has always
been a hot-bed of Republicanism.
The county offices for more than a
fourth Of century have been filed
by Republicans. But year after
year as the people become more
enlightened politically, Republican
majorities have grown beautifully
less until in the late election for
the county Offices, two Democrats
were elected to two Of the most
important offices sheriff and trus-
tee. Let the good work so on, and
soon Carroll County will be re-
deemed and stand in the Demo

TAUM BAKER, JR., editor of the
Huntingdon Republican, wants to
represent Carroll County in the
next general assembly Of the State.
We would as soon TAUM would rep
resent Carroll as any Republican
we know Of, but from the recent
Democratic gains in that county,
we don't see why a good Democrat
should not be elected.
The recent election in this State
shows decided disposition on the
part of the more intelligent Repub-
licans to forsake the rotten hulk
Of that party in Tennessee. There
are Democratic gains in all parts
Of the State-notably SO in Repub-
lican strongholds. Even Chatta-
nooga was carried by the Demo
Gratis, a thmg that had not occurred
there in thirty years. The attempt
on the part of Congress to pass a
partisan election bill to control
elections in the South on the bay
onet plan, is driving the more in
telligent southern Republicans out
Of the party, and they naturally
ioin the Democrats, because 1t Is
through the Democratic party there
is any hope of good and just gov
eminent.

trated in the case of Mrs. Merrifeld, whe
died few days ago at Ainericus, Georgia.
She had not spoken word for over thirty
years. In 1860 her husband snappishly told
her to stop her talk, and added that the
sound of her voice was hurtful to him. She
answered that he should never hear 1t again,
and he never did. The woman kept her
word. Neither he nor any one else ever
heard her speak from that moment. She
went along in the usual performance of her
duties as good wife and mother, even bear
ing three children after this incident, but no
one ever heard word fall from her lips.
St. Louis must have fair if Chicago does.
Charles Green, president of the St. Louis
Fair association, is entertaining large ideas
Of a fair for that town during the progress of
the worlds fair in Chicago. He says it is
the intention TO give the most extensive
racing meeting and cattle show ever held in
this or ary other country. "I shall, }" he says,
chang up In purses for running and trotting
horses not less than $3.50, 600 and for cattle
premiums not less than $150,O00. The st.
Louis cattle show already has an internation-
al reputation. 1t would be impossible for
the Chicago worlds fair to get up as de-
partment of their show horse and cattle
show equal to our annual fair. What, then,
will be the magnitude of an exhibition back
ed by $400, 900 premiumsa I hope to arrange
that every railroad ticket sold into Chicago
will have ST. Louis coupon attached at

Woman has made some progress since she

ress is most apparent. A writer In the Chi
cago Herald makes very complete showing
of what she has managed to do in the way
of voting. In Wyoming women have voted
on the same terms as men since 1870, and in
the constitution of 1889 provision was in
serted securing suffrage to women. In Wash
ington the women voted for five years, until
excluded from suffrage by decision of the
territorial Supreme court. The woman suf-
frage provision in the State constitution was
not carried. The leaders of the movement In
Supreme court. In Kansas women vote on
the same terms with men in municipal cleo
tions. About 10000 voted in 1889, against
20, 900 in 1887. In Utah women voted
until excluded by the Edmunds law.
They have organized in large numbers to de-
mand repeal of the law. In Delaware
school suffrage was enacted for women In
1889, and many women voted. School suf-
frsge exists also on various terms in Arizona,
Colorado, Idaho, Indiana, Kansas, kentucky
Massachusetts,, Michigan, Minnesota, Me-
braska, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New
York, North Dakota, Texas, Vermont,
Washington and Wisconsin. The new con
stitution of Montana guarantees to women
the power to vote on questions of taxation
In Arkansas and Missisaippi women vote
(by signing or refusing to sign petisions) or
granting liquor licenses. In the senate ol

Another Practical View Of Corporal
Punishment.
To the Editor Of tbs JOURNAL AND COURIER:
While the subject of school punishment is
agitating the, public mind, let us give one
moment to consideration of the subject
from teachers standpoint. If they are not
under any circumstances to administer COR
poral punishment, what, in the name OF
common justice, are they to dot However
careless or impertinent child may be,no one
knows better than himself that thirty minutes
after the school closes he will be beyond
Jurisdiction. No teacher has power to de-
prive pupil of recess. The sending of a
scholar to the principal becomes farce If
the principal himself has no power to punish.
The most elaborate system Of marks becomes
as nothing if there be no punishment to
avoid. Young indeed must be the child who
is lured into the paths Of virtue by the merit
cards bestowed upon him. %
One writer says: Flogging is abolished in
the army and navy. Surely we can get along
without 1t in our schools. Yes, but the guard
house is not abolished; the power to put in
irons an insubordinate sailor is not done
away with. Their officers can still put on a
diet of bread and water any soldier or sailor
guilty of the slightest breach of discipline
They can also hold out various rewards for
good behavior In the way of promotions that
mean increase of pay, leave to go ashore,
&c., &c.
am not an advocate for indiscriminate
corporal punishment, bat would rather my
boy should learn wholesome respect for the
powers above him by receiving q sensible
whipping for fagrant disobedienoe than to
have him feel that his teacher had no power
to make him obey If he were otherwise dis
pessd.
would like to confront some of these
people who are SO certain that fogging is
sullen, obstinate, impudent boy, who not
only objects to obeying the rules himself, but
incites other pupils to all manner of mis-
chief. I phrophesy his honest convictions
would die sudden death, and indignation
more or less right-even would reduce to a
minimum the distance between himself and
the boy.
made at the John e. Lowell dinner have
hardly died away. Why did these gray
haired, hard>headed, Intelligent men meet
themg Why have they, all these years in
their hearts and lives honored their
old masters Not because with mistaken
kindness he allowed them to have
their own way. Ask any one of them
and they will tell you that Mr.. Lowell
gained their respect by demanding and en-
forcing strict obedience, and he attained his
end not by any modern device, but one as old
as the Old Book, because of the rod that
hung behind his chair; because of the little
room at the head of ths stairs; because OF
the yellow pony; because, in short, of the
power to punish at his back.
Never was more required Of teachers than
to-day; fever was higher standing de-
manded at examination than to-day; never
were teachers hands more tightly tied than
now. In the name of common justice give
to them some power to enforce their rules.

The English board Of trade has done a
useful and instructive thing in collecting the
statistics of the labor unions and associations
of wage-earners Of all kinds in England,
dating back for number of years. The re-
ports show the number of men that have be.
longed to each Of the great associations
through series of years, the amount of
money that had been from year to year con-
tributed by the members to the treasures Of
their societies, the uses which have been
made Of this money, and the average of
wages which under current trade rules have
been received from time to time by the mem
bers of the unions In the various towns
and cities of Great Britain. By means
Of this carefully prepared document, the
members of the English trades unions can
1ind Gut with de6niteness the costs of main
.tainipg their various societies, and what
advantage they are to them in case they are
sick, cannot find work or are engaged in q
strike or lockout. More than this, it is pcs
sible for them TO come to some conclusion az
to whether the effect of associate action is of
material advantage in advancing their wages
or In reducing their hours of labor.
Such a collection of facts concerning g
the associations Of workingmen in this
country would be useful, and would perhaps
do something to lesson the friction between
capital and labor At all events, 1t. would
furnish basis for both sides to make oalcu-
lations upon.

HOW Flowers Are wasted.

[Ouida in the North American Review for June.
In the great world, and in the rich world,
flowers are wasted with painful prodigality
The thousands and tens of thousands of
flowers which die to decorate single ball or
reception are a sad sight to those who love
them. "The rooms look well to night" ia
the utmost that Is ever said after all this
waste of blossom and fragrance. It is waste,
because scarcely glance is bestowed on
them, and the myriad of roses which cover
the walls do not effectively make more i'm
preston On the eye than the original silk or
satin wall hanging which they momenterily
replace. Growing plants may be used in
thousands for decoration without waste, but
the inordinate display Of cut flowers is pit
liable destruction of which scarcely one guest
in fifty is sensible. In bowls and baskets,
raj space; but on walls, or impaled on wires,
they are soon faded and yellow, and the ball
room in the morning is as melancholy par
able Of the brevity of pleasure as any moral
ist could desire. Church decoration is not q
whit better; flowers are wantonly sacrificed
to it, as In the winter the birds ere starved
through 1t for need of the evergreen berries
torn down in woods and gardens to adorn
the affairs of men. The numbers of dead
birds found in frost and snow on moor and
field have increased enormously with the in
crease in church decoration. A eheaf OF
grain hung up for the seed-eating birds in
winter, with some trays Of meal-worms set
ON the ground for the inseetivorous birds,
would be a more useful form Of piety than
the cartlords of branches and the garlsnds of
berries given to church and cathedral.

PULslFmR,s J JaCK-RABBIT HORSE

How the SwaY-Backed ThOrOughbred

D, Pulsifer, 80 we'll known in Chieago,
is to-day younger looking man than when
performing his arduous task of cashing Riley
& Co.'s pool tickets in Gamblers alley.
Recently, in conversation with an old time
sport, he said that the change from q cellar
to the open air had greatly benefited his
health, and that his new venture of racing
thoroughbred horses was much more
healthy occupation than any In which he
had heretofore engaged. At the head OF
last season was considered as good three

Tenny won the Realization stakes, one and
Rye.eiphths miles, although the judges
placed Salvador first, Is q fact admitting of
no doubt whatever. It was simply case of
horse, finishing under the stand, over
looked by the judges. No censure Is appli-
cable to any man for the mistake, yet such
oversight cost Pulsifer about thirty thousand
dollars. There has been much comment
over the owners lack of foresight in not en-
oseing Barnes to ride his horse, and quite
true is it that, with crack Jockey up, Tenny
could not have lost the race; but Pplsifer
says: "You see Snip Donovan, my trainer,
stands in for ten per cent. of the winnings of
my horses, and as he told me that Tenny was
good enough to win with any kind of boy
up, thought no more of the matter, be-
| cause I Thought Snip would look out for
his thirty-four hundred dollars. We
thought Tenny was scinoh, and am now
positive that he won the race. Every turf
