this will be. an Endorsement by
the party Of the Force bill and Of
all of its kindred legislation for
which the Republican party is
responsible. It's too soon yet to
predict the nominee of the Dem
ocratic party; the state elections
sn New York, Iowa and Ohio this
fall will have a great deal to do
in determining the action Of the
next National convention. We
nave a plenty of good material,
and principles, not men, should
be our watch-word in the future
as it has been in the past. No
man, however, should be selected
unless he can conscienciously
support every declaration of prin-
ciple, which shall be enunciated
by the Convention-and, then it
matters but little whether he
comes from the East or the West,
the North or the South, all lovers
of the constitution will support
him and he will be triumphantly
elected.

LOGAN COUNTY FEUD.
Three Men Killed and the
FuSilade Not Ended.

CArTLETTsBuRG, KY, July 9.-The
war between the Cline ana Deekins fac
tiens in Logan county w. Va, is still
raging. The parties are armed with
Winchesters, and are firing ateach 9TH
er across Tug River. Three men have
been killed during the past week.
The above is from the Wheel
ing Register of the 10th inst.
We have met a gentleman who
left the neighborhood in which
the Deskins' reside, on the 18th
inst, and he knows nothing of the
matter. We suppose the whole
matter grew out of the fact that
some three weeks ago two of the
NClines and some other parties fill
ed up, no doubt, with bad whisky
fired upon the house Of John a..
Deskins, and the fire was return
ed by Mr.. De skins and a man
named Williams, who was spend
ing the night with him. Both of
the Clines were slightly wounded
and ESCAPE cd back to Kentucky,
and warrants were. sworn out
against them in this county and
placed in the hands of officers.
We have heard nothing of them
since that time.

THE campaign of 1892 will be
fought upon the same grounds as
the the campain of 1900, and upon
the same principles which has al
ways separated the constitutional
Democratic party from the oppo-
sition. While our present tariff
laws should be so reformed and
modified as to relieve the people
from the great burden of taxation
which are now depressing them,
and while the, greatest freedom
should be given to, the coinage of
silver, and its full volume should
be relieved Of its present dcbase-
ment assascommodity and placed
upon q. par with gold as a circula-
ting medium, receivable in any
quantities for all debts, both pub
lie and private. Yet neither of
these questions are of such para
mount interest to the people as
the preservation Of the autonomy
of the several states and the con-
filming Of the Federal Govern
ment to the limits prescribed, by
u written constitution. There
can be but little doubt of the re-
nomination by the Republican
party Of President Harrison, and

THE assault made upon Senator
Quay by the respectable Republic
cans OF Philadelphia is really an
assault upon their party. No
sane man believes that without
the corrupt influence Of money
that the protective policy de-
manded by monopolistc greed
could be fastened upon our coun-
try, or that with any man less un-
scrupulous than Matthew S. Quay
as chairman of the executive COM
mittee of the Republican party,
in 1883, that Benjamin Harrison
could have been President of the
United States. No man without
personal integrity and honesty
could have arisen to such distin-
guished prominence, and we know
of no charges of personal dishon-
esty which has been alleged
against him by his neighbors, and
those who have the most intimate
relations with him personally
As leader of great political
party all acknowledge that he
has been dishonest. But has not

ingIy Democratic, will have plenty
of work on its hands. So far as
legislation of Importance
is concerned, practically nothing
can be accomplished, as the Sen
ate's Republican majority will be
likely to oppose most of the laws
originating in the House. But
the House will have a clear field
for work peculiarly its own, and
which is important from a polit-
'ical standpoint and necessary to
good government. We refer to
the numerous committees of in
vestigation that will be appoint
ed to ferret out the crookedness
existing in almost every depart
meut Of the government.
The Pension Bureau will be
among the first to receive atten-
ton. 1t will be remembered that
lest year a committee was ap-
pointed to Investigate. Commits
sioner Raum and his administra-
of that office, but being of Re-
publican complexion, of course
the whitewash was plentifully
applied. Tho investigators ap-
pointed by Democratic House
will not conceal the frauds nor
suppress eliminating evidence.
The whole ground will probably
be gone over again, and in addi-
ton the recent performance of
young Raum and his colleagues
will be thoroughly ventilated.
The whole pension business will
be thoroughly overhauled, and
strong efforts will be made to i'm
prove the unhealthy state of
affairs.
Then light will be turned on the
Census Office and its commission
en-. The inefficiency of Mr.. Por-
ter and the iuaeeuracy OF his sta
tistics, the perversion of his fig
ures for political purposes and
the extravaganza of his manage
ment, will be fit subjects for in
vestigation, and notifying as
the result will doubtless be, II is
believed by many that the tenth
census will be shown to be utter
" worthless and unreliable.
The Treasury Department will
also be probed in several direc-
tons. The recent bank failures,
in Philadelphia, by which SO
many persons were ruined, is
partly due to the Encouragement
and stupidity of Comptroller La
cey and Examiner Drew, and the
Treasury methods must be over
hauled. The seal company, in
which Mr.. Steve Elkins and other
prominent Republicans are SO
deeply interested, must likewise
have its affairs inquired into.
Postmaster General Wanna
maker has tried hard to wriggle
out of his connection with the
broken Philadelphia banks, but
his explanations are far from sat
isfactory and he will probably
have to explain further before a
Congressional Committee. And
/ so the list is growing. There are
alaeady enough cases to KEEP
Congress busy. There will prob
ably be more by the time the SEES.

TRUE FISH STORIES.
They Possess "a Certain Advantage Over
Certain Other Yarns.

They Possess a Certain Advantage Over
Certain Other Yarns.
"Just after the first Worlds fair ban
quet," said Abram Williams, prominent
fire insurance manager, "a party OF gentle
men were talking in one Of the parlors of
the Palmer House, where the feast was
spread, and, as will happen sometimes, you
know, the conversation drifted TO fish sto-
ries And fish stories reminded Delegate
White, of the south. of an experience he
had in New Mexico.
1.-The fish were so plentiful said Mr..
White that all our party needed to do
when we wanted dinner of fish was 10
take two boards or shingles, and forming
them in the shape OF scoop just dish out
as many as we needed for a meal
"When Mr. White had finished there
was a moments silence. then Edwin
Walker, attorney for the st. Paul road.
quietly said:
That's not much OF a fish story, Mr..
White. Why, when ] was travelling up
one of the small rivers in southern Alaska
/ saw fish in such great numbers that the
water could not be seen. IL was most
remarkable thing, and have never heard
of the like before or since. They were act
ually so thick that they were wedged In
the water, heads down, and all that could
be seen was thousands of their wriggling
tails sticking up out of the water, each
one of course, having an individual mo-
tion of its own A shout of laughter
greeted Mr.. Walker from every one except
Mr.. White, whose face flushed up hotly,
then paled until it was whittier than
sheet as he said:
"'But, Mr.. Walker, my story was true
And so was my story true, responded Mr..
Walker.
And the best Of it was that Mr. Walk
er's story was literally true, as Mrs. Walker
later in the evening testified. IL was in
the spawning season, and just above the
spot where the remarkable sight was wit
messed was narrow rapids. The salmon
went up the stream In such quantities that
many were crowded out of the water, and
gave TO the scene literally the aspect told
by Mr.. Walker "-Chicago Globe.

A WORD WITH CRITICS.

Letters Of criticism are beginning to
reaeh us. We like them. They show
that the News is read.
One says " l don't like to see advertise
ments ON the first page" Neither do We
but we have to conform TO the customs
already established.
Another critic objects to the accounts
of boxing matches in the sporting col
umn. We don't ourselves like anything
savoring Of pugilism. Wed like to see
prize fighting punishable-and punished
by long imprisonment. But it's often
hard to draw the line between boxing
and fighting, and a paper which ignored
both would in many instances disappoint
the very ones who think they object to
sporting gossip.
Others think we ought to double the
price Of the paper We're glad if folks
feel that they are getting two cents
worth for one.
Another objects TO our pointing out
the exclusive news we obtain; 1t savors
too much of boasting, perhaps. Aud yet
why shouldn't we tell the truth?
Another-but really, as said before,
were doing our best, and working sixteen
hours day.

How to Make One That Shall be Artis-
tie and Interesting.
The art OF reproducing and engraving
pictures has in our day reached such a
point of perfection that our weeklies and
monthlies offer us almost more than we
can care for. And the only way to obtain
any lasting pleasure or instruction from
these charming works Of art is TO devise
some method by which VIC may preserve
them for our study in hours of leisure
The scrapbook is the first thought, and
these are invaluable for pictures of small
or medium size, but there are others for
which n screen or portfolio is well adapted.
An original and artistic pictorial screen
Is made thus
Select interesting and well executed en-
cravings, if possible those that come in
series, or that illustrate some special story
or poem.
A recent number of one Of our popular
magazines portrayed number of ideal
children's faces, and for the small sum Of
twenty-five cents one could secure a per
feet gallery of loveliness
Buy at wholesale a large quantity of
plain white cardboard cut into squares or
oblongs of n uniform size. On each of
these paste with care number of small
pictures that are cut out close TO the mar.
gin, and when all are thus arranged frame
each cardboard with narrow band Of
plain pine or cherry or any other wood
that you may fancy.
These may be arranged in number of
ways in room devoted to reading or
lounging, or In a day nursery for the older
children. IL there are modern low book
shelves, let the framed cardboards run all
along the top, or the wall above a low
mantel may be entirely filed in with them,
running narrow strip of the same wood
across the top and down the sides to in.
close the whole in one large frame.-E. A.
Matthews in Housewife.

Across the Arctic Ocean at Two Miles Day

The objects from the Jeanette drifted
in three years from the New Siberian
islands TO the west coast Of Greenland. II
we assume that they required one year for
the drift southwark from latitude so degs.
north, on the east coast of Greenland, only
two years remain for the rest of the jour
ney, and this requires speed of no more
than two nautical miles in every twenty
four hours. This does not seem too high a
rate when we remember that the Jeanette
drifted ut the same speed during the last
half year Of her drifting, and that in the
last days before she sank she drifted Mt n
much higher speed, which sometimes
reached even eight nautical miles every
twenty-four hours. 1t cannot therefore be
considered improbable that we should
reach open water on this side Of the pole
within two years after our start from tho
Siberian side, and IL we take provisions for
five years we may consider that we have
an ample margin.-Dr. Fridtjof Nansen in
Forum.
