Don't Ask Too Much.

We do not intend to be impatient
with those who are sore and disap-
pointed because their friends have
been defeated. They must have cool
ing time, and when they have cooled
they will all, or nearly all, fall into
line.
To the general public we wish to
make a statement Of facts; facts We
have sgathered by diligent inquiry
from responsible sources. There was
some talk-nOt more than is usual
but some talk Saturday and Monday,
of whisky and money having been
used in the primary election. From
the information we received, we are
convinced the complaint is not with
out foundation. That money and
whisky were used, we are convinced
can be proven. This we believe to be
the truth, and we are always willing
to admit the truth.
However, we are further convinced
that there was less OF these corrupt
ing influences than ever before in an
election in this county.
At the Columbia box, without hav-
ing any positive knowledge OF
amounts, we will hazard the state
ment that a gallon of whiskey and
$25 was corruptly used. Four years
ago we might a. safely said, a barrel
OF whisky and 81 800.
Is that not something of reform
Is it not something to be thankful for
and is it not due to Democratic or
ganization and to the nominating
system.
In no district do we know OF any
worse report than the one We have
given, and in the majority of the dis
| tricts the district committeeman anC
reliable men say there was no money
no whishey, no corruption OF any
sort.
1t seems to US this ought to satisfy
all reasonable men. Those who lOol
for perfect purity in elections, will
never have their hope realized. 1t is 1
consummation devoutly to be wished
| but one never to be realized.
1t is encouraging and comforting t.
! know that, through the organization
of the Democratic party in thi'
county, we h*ve brought about 1
reform where the white men OF tn
county choose their own officers, anC
where neither money, whiskey mol
ther corrupting influence is con
trolling factor.
Any one who cannot be satisfied
with so great a reform, brought atOu
in so short a time, ia hard to please

The custom of twisting, and turn

the establishment of grades OF devil

the purposes of the human heart; and
by such adroit manouvcring seek de-

of law, are causes that lead men to
take the law in their own hands, ana

REGULAR ZINC BONANZA.
No Doubt About the Finding of Ore In
Carroll County, Ind.

No Doubt About the Finding of Ore In
Carroll County, Ind.
LoaANsPoRT, Ind, March 8.-The re-
ports of the valuable discovery of zinc
in Carroll county are verified. Mr.. Q.
II. Stevens, of this city, was interested
in some Missouri mines, and had a num-
Der of pieces of ore on exhibition at his
place of business. Z. McKinnum, of
Rock Creek township, Carroll county,
saw them, and insisted that some of
that "stone coal" as he called it, was to
be found in his locality. He brought in
a cigar box full to prove 1t. 1t was
shipped to Missouri for analysis, which
showed that it was equal to the best
Missouri ore. Mr.. Stevens took A. L..
Shroyer, of this city, in with him, and
prospecting was begun and leases made.
Investigation shows that the veins on
the Rock creek bottom are struck at
four feet from the bed of the creek, and
one vein OF four feet, and one of six feet
of solid ore have been found.
The bluff along the creek ls about
seventy-fve feet high. so that most OF
the ore lies at a depth of eighty feet
from the level. The Missouri vein is
struck at ninety feet, while this can be
mined from the creek bottom. Pros
pecting along the bottom land showed
that the vein extended along the creek
three and a half miles. The supply Is
almost inexhaustible and as the Mis-
souri, output is $75, 900 worth of ore per
week, there is no reason why the 1ndl-
ana field should fall short of that. Four
men are at work now sinking mines and
twenty-five will be at work by Monday
next. The ore lies in Rock Creek town
ship, Carroll county, on the line of the
Wabash railroad, and fourteen miles
west of this city. Several prospector5
from abroad have arrived and are leas-
ing land

AGAIN the news comes flashing

The KAISER Alleged to Have Declared
His Intention of Pulverizing Russia
The Clar Replies That He Will Meet
Him with Half a Million Men with tho
Greatest of Pleasure.
LONDON, March 9.-The st. Peters
burg correspondent of The Standard re-
counts, under reserve, startling story
in connection with the surprising speech
made by the Emperor of Germany at the
banquet at Brandenburg, which caused
30 much adverse criticism, not only in
Germany, where certain editions of sew
eral newspapers containing unfavorable
comments were seized on the charge OF
lese majestic, but throughout the whole
of Europe.
The Standards correspondent, in his
dispatch to the paper, says the agent
Loman, who was present at the Bran
denburg banquet when Emperor Will
lam made his memorable speech, re-
marked to the emperor:
Your majesty should not forget Rus
sia."
To this remark Emperor William is
said to have retorted:
Il will pulverize Russia"
The correspondent adds that when
General Count Won Sehuvaloff, the Rus
sian minister at Berlin, was apprised OF
this remarkable utterance, and upon in
vestigation found that what he had
heard was true, he Immediately ac-
Quainted NJ. DeGiers, the Russian min
lister of foreign affairs, with the facts in
in the case, who repeated the remarks
of Emperor William to the car. The
car then summoned to his presence
General Won Schweintz. the German
ambassador at St. Petersburg, and after
recounting to him the statement made
by NJ. DeGiers, said:
Tell your emperor that when he
wants to begin pulverizing will throw
half million men across the frontier
with the greatest of pleasure"
The rumC.s of the kaiser's sympathy
| with the Poles has rendered the car
especially bitter against him of late.

special to The Press says: Mr.. Springer's
important craftsmanship of the ways and
means committee is practically at an
end. DR.. Vincent said Monday that
even should his patient begin to rally at
once and continue to improve from this
time on it would be impossible for him
to attend to any business for the next
two months. DR.. Vincent declares that
under the most favorable circumstances
Mr.. Springer could not leave his house
within the next three weeks. After that
the doctor will insist that Mr.. Springer
go to Fortress Monroe for stay or four
or five weeks. According to this pro-
gram, therefore, Mr.. Springer has prac-
tically concluded his services as chair
man of the ways and means committee
for this session of congress, for tariff
bills will be entirely disposed of by the
end of April.

fifty members of the Second regiment of

own wheels and under the command of
Captain Ellsworth G.. Bowen, of Com
pany L. The idea of using the bicycle
in military tactics is not a new one, as
both England and France have expert
mented with it and found its limitations
too great for general use.

TALK about your ''snap conven-

stance 70 the Governor OF our N"oie
Order. How is this for a hurry?
The Democratic Executive Commit
tee of Shelby County has for it's
Chairman one Andrew J. Harris, Of
Memphis. This same Harris hap
pens to be Mr.. Buchanan's Coal Oil
INSPECTOR of Memphis. Or vice versa,
happening to be Chairman, Mr..
Buck gave him the coal oil job pur-
pose. But let that pass. Speaking
of the hurry, Chairman Harris called
his Committee together Last Tuesday !;
they resolved to publish a call for
their primaries on next Sunday: that
the primaries shall be held on the
following day, Monday, and the next
day, Tuesday, the convention for the
selection OF delegates to the Guber-
national convention shall be held.
This is the most braZen attempt at
robbery we have ever seen in Tennes-
see. or course the Democrats of
Shelby are kicking, aud of course
such outrageous abuse of party trust
will be rebuked by the Democrats of
the state at large. Buchanan's forces
are more desperate than We thought.
