"BOSS" WALLS PAP=FED ORGAN

The printers who were driven
out of the office of Chairman
Wallis newspaper in Milwaukee
have set forth their grievances in a
circular letter, copy of which is
published below.
This is the same official organ
that has been shedding crocodile
tears over Carnegie's treatment of
the Homestead workmen. 1t is
the same BOSS" Wall organ that
has affected SO much interest on
the Lutheran school question. 1t
is the same lying organ that re-
Gently published a mass of false
hood, pretending to be special
from Madison, the shallow pur-
pose of which was to cause dis
turbance among the printers in
the Democrat office. It is the
same official organ that draws,
through special favorite legislation,
from the state treasury $1,000
for official publications that decent
newspapers would gladly publish
for $500 year. 1t is the same
piratical sheet that secured through
Chairman Wall a special act from
the last legislature through which
it levies $4,000 year upon the
insurance business of this state.
1t is the same unprincipled organ
that publishes the cuts of state and
local democratic politicians, then
repeatedly sends bills to the vic
TINS for such sums as it believes
if can bleed them. It is the same
characterless, slanderous, disre-
putable, toll-levying official organ
that Chairman Wall boasts gave
up its columns to his use in the
campaign of 1890, the consider
alton Of which was doubtless the
legislation that authorizes its levies
upon the state treasury and private
industries. 1t is the same shame
less organ that continually pirates
Of its large circulation, while it
really exists by vile levies upon
the state, private business, party
politicians and printers.
It is easy to believe what the
printers say Of it. 1t is without
honor, without decency, without
truth and without shame. It is
Boss" Wallis official organ. Not
satisfied with special and venal
legislation through which it OBJ
tains some sII, 900 year, it fills
its dirty columns with woodcut
daubs of the leading democrats of
the state, and charges them for it,
but refuses to pay the printer for
inserting the cuts. Such is Chair
man Wallis official organ.-MadI-

Villas TAFFY TO THE GERnANS.

If Colonel Villas elogium on
German Day, was sincere it was a
tribute well deserved. If it is taffy,
political tafy, and designed solely
to further his own advancement
to say that to the Germans more
than to any other nationality are
the excellent fruits of our citizen
ship due.
No one can appreciate the sturdy
character of the Germans, their
liberaiity, good fellowship and free
dom from bigotry unless he
mingles with them, No man no
matter what his nationality or his
creed can ever say that socially or
politically he suffered at the hands
of Germans because of his nation
ity or creed. But to one on the
outside, the appeals of the dema-
gogues to the dominat race in this
state naturally create a prejedice
which is wholly undeserved so far
as the Germans are concerned.
Their societies are wholly differ
ent from those of other nationali-
ties. Nationality is no bar to ad-
mission. In all social relations
there is an inborn courtesy which
prevents any reflection on any ma
tionality. The "outsider' who
mingles with them is not made to
feel that he is a trespasser. He is
received openly and cordially and
if he does not feel at home it is his
fault.
These things are not known to
those who do not mingle with the
Germans. Vastly preponderant
as they are in this state, they stuff
er injustice in the opinion of those
who do not know them. They
are not susceptible to f1attery nor
supersensitive to criticism, but the
demagogues think they are and

employ the one and avoid the
other not for the good of the Ger
mans but with the mistaken notion
that their favor may thereby be
won. The best way to win the
respect OF any nationality is to be
independent and manly, never
withholding criticism when the
occasion demands it and never
dealing out praise with the method
of professional exactness.-INaNl-

of the evil. The opportunity to

less, and the wages would
necessarily fall to the level Of

These tables show the relative cost of

and on the first of each of each of the
intervening months, compared with the
initial period and the comparative
effect with the course of prices in each
Of the articles or groups had upon the
cost of living during the period.
1t appears as the final result, as
shown by all of these tables, that the
cost of living of a family in ordinary
circumstances was fortv-four one humid
redths of one per cent less at the end
of the period included in the investi-
CATION, September l, 1891, than it was
at the beginning.
The committee in addition to the in
vestigation for the twenty eight months
noted, requested the Commissioner of
Labor to ascertain the retail prices of
three cities, namely, Fall River, Mass,
Chicago, ILL.,, and Dubuque, Ia, of 215
articles included in their original list,
for the lst of May, 1892. The result of
this latter inquiry shows further de-
cline in the cost of living in May, 1892,
as compared with June. July, and
August, 1889, of 81 per cent
This supplemental inquiry discloses
the fact that the tendency to lower

continues.

Old Westinghouse.

Virginia claims the oldest meet
house in the United States. The
church on which this claim is made,
by contributor to he N. Y. Press, was
erected in Norfolk, Va, in 1852. The
date of its erection was cut into the
hard, old bricks at two different
points. 1t was the second church
built in Virginia. The first one, that
at Jamestown, has long since gone to
ruin. This building is without doubt
the oldest church building in Ameri-
ca erected by English speaking peo-
pie.
The size IS 30x50 feet and the tower
80 feet tall. The walls are thick, in
good condition; the brick and NOR
tar are so firmly joined together as to
defy separation without breaking the
brick. The oldest well-defned grave
in the church-yard is that of General
Joseph Bridger, who died in 1856,
and whose father built the church,
which has withstood the ravages of
three wars, the Revolution, the War
of 1912 and the struggle of 1860,
Three times it has been reroofed,
and it is now undergoing repairs of a
very substantial and attractive nature
and bids fair to be useful as a church
for the next three centuries. Memo
rial windows have. been constructed
for it in England, and when again in
shape to use it will present very at
tractive appearance.
In this connection the fact is inter-
esting that the present county clerk
Of Ilse of Wight county, the same
county in which the old church is
csted, is the third or fourth of his
line that have beld that same office
in continuous line of succession
since the morning, during the Revo-
luton struggle, when the then in
cumbent left the office and joined the
royallist army to fight against his
country.-EX.

MT STERLING. KENTUCKY, TUESDAY,
What Is a Sneeze2

A well-known scientist was asked
the other day. "What is sneeze ?"
He replied: "Sneezing is most in
teresting physical phenomenon. 1t
may be termed nasal delusion. For
this reason most people think they
sneeze with their nose, but the nose is
only the point of departure, and
hearty sneeze is a convulsion of the
whole body, and all the muscles from
the soles of the feet to the top of the
head join in it. A person taking cold
suffers spasm of the blood vessels Of
the skin. The muscles are puckered
up, and the skin rises, the blood is
forced internally, and the nervous
system informs the brain that some
thing is wrong. A wind blowing on
the back of persons neck causes
contraction of the blood vessels of
that region, a condition which is cer-
tain to be followed by reaction. This
contraction causes an irritation of the
nerves of the lining of the nose, the
two points being intimately connect
ed with the ramifcation of nerves
The purpose of sneeze, when natu-
raj, is to restore the equilibrium OF
the nervous system. A genuine con-
vulsive sneeze sends the blood to the
surface, where it meets the cold chills
that had begun to creep up the spine
it sets the heart going faster, and that
quickens the blood current. In short
it is the first effort of nature to cure a
cold, or when produced by taking
snuff, the vocal protest Of nature
against the irrational tintillation Of
the nerve sheathes in the nose. The
dealers who pass out to the consumer
the product of our snuff mills will
now know what happens when the
snuff taker sneezes. ~ Ex.

An Historic Pinch of Snuff.

self from the profane touch of any
fingers but those of the blood royal of
the throne. No one was allowed to
touch it. Kapioff, a much humorcd
court dependent, one morning wagered
that he would take a pinch of snuff
out of it, and the bet being made, he
walked up to the table which stood
near the bed on which the Gar re-
clined, and boldly picked up the Won
derful snuff box. Opening it noisily
he inserted three fingers, and while
the Car watched in stupefaction
at his audacity, he snuffed up the fra
grant powder with evident satisfac-
tion,,
'"What are you doing there, you
rogue ?" exclaimed the Car, excited
ly.
"Taking pinch of snuff, sire! l
have been on duty eight hours while
you have been sleeping, and, feeling
drowsy. 1 thought it would keep me
awake, for deem it better to break
the rules of etiquette than neglect my
duty"
The Gear burst out laughing, and
replied: "That is right enough, Kapi-
off, but as the snuff box is not large
enough for both of us, you can keep it
for yourself"
The box is still treasured heirloom
in the Kapioff family, a mute evidence
to the fact that in the days of the
Gar, Paul the First, there should have
been no need of Nihilistic organiza-
tisns, and yet this good natured man

Epicurean Elephants.

An elephants digestive functions
are very rapid, and the animal there
fore, requires daily large amount of
fodder--600 pounds at least. In its
wild state the animal feeds heartily,
but wastefully. 1t is careful in Sc
lecting the few forest trees which it
likes for their bark or foliage. But it
will tear down branches and leave
half of them untouched. 1t will strip
off the bark from other trees and
throw away a large portion.
AS it is nocturnal animal, it Sc
lects its trees by the sense of touch
and smell. Its sense of smell is so
delicate that wild elephant can wind
an enemy at distance of 1000 yards,
and the nerves of its trunk are so
sensitive that the smallest substance
can be discovered and picked up by
its tiny proboscis.
An elephants palate is very deli
cate, and the animal is whimsical in
selecting OF rejecting morsels of food.
Sir Samuel w. Baker, in his "Wild
beasts and Their Ways" tells an
anecdote illustrative of the whims of
tame elephant belonging to the po-
lice of Dhubri:
This elephant was fed with rice and
plantains. The stems of the plan
tains were split and cut into tran
verse sections two feet in length.
Three-quarters of pound of rice was
placed within each tube of plantain
stem. One day, while the elephant
was being fed, lady offered the ami
NAL small sweet biscuit. 1t was
taken in the trunk and almost imme-
diately thrown on the ground.
The mahout, or driver, thinking
that the elephant had behaved rudely,
picked up the biscuit and inserted 1t
in parcel of rice within a plantain
stem. This was placed in the ele-
plants mouth, and at the first crunch
it showed its disgust by splitting out
the whole mess. The small biscuit
had disgusted the animal, and for
several minutes it tried by its inser-
ted trunk to rake out every atom from
its tongue and throat.-Ex.
