WHY Edison Is a Re, ublican.

The father and brother of the great
electrical inventor, Thomas A. Edi-
son, were Democrats. Some one re-
Gently asked him to explain how he
happened to be Republican when
his environment was Democratic.

few words, ;" said he. 81 became re
publican in New Orleans. 1t was on
u street corner, where there was q
poor devil in blue Uniform grinding
an organ. He was blind In one eye.
He had big scar above the other eye
One ear was slashed off One leg
was cut off below the L n Q. T! Q
other leg was severed above the knee
His left arm was cut off above the
elbow. His right hand was mutilated
so that only the little finger remained.
With that finger he turned the organ
handle and brought forth doleful
tunes. A big brute Of southerner
came along and stopped in front of
the organ, looking the crippled So
dier all over. Then he drew ten
dollar bill out his pocket and tossed
it on the organ. AS he started
away the old soldier called after him
to know if he had not made q mis-
take, saying that no man had ever
given him q bill before. The South
erner turned about with q fierce look
and responded that he was willing to
give $40 any time to see q Yankee

because that was the way he would
like to see every blankety blsnked

stating his position on the silver and
tariff questions. With all. his many
speeches he has not declared himself
on the questions that are really at

good one, and Mr.. Hill has certainly
sacrificed public respect BY his treat

TWO BURIED CITIES.

y In the first century after Christ,
there stood near the beautiful Bay OF
Naples two cities. Herculaneum and
Pompeii, which were noted through
all the Roman world for their fash
ionable luxury. In the year 70, dur
ing a tremendous eruption of Vesu-
vius, these cities disappeared from
human view as completely as Sodom
and Gomorrah. It was commonly
reported that both cities were over
whelmed with food Of molten, lava,
and the occurrence has been wildly
portrayed by Bulwer in "The Last
Daps Of Pompeii." March "a 1877,
the ruins of .Herclaneum were dis
covered; and it was then found that
this city had been destroyed by an
immense flood ofwater which carried,
along enormous quantities Of mud,
tnfa and ashes. This explains in
some degree, why SO few people es-
capped from Hercdlaneum, while
thousands had time to flee from
.Pompeii, which was buried first un-
der a gradual shower Of ashes. Mis-
takes and errors IN regard to things
out Of sight are excusable, but the
people Of this day and section are too
well informed about the railroads to
commit the error Of taking any other
line than The Barling ton when going
on : journey For rates, and tickets.

GOVERNMENT SUPERVISION OF
HIGHWAYS.


From Harper's Weekly.
1t has been suggested that the
American roads be placed under a
system of government supervision, and
be divided somewhat as the French,
roads are:
First, national roads. These to be
built and maintained by the general
government, and be located with re-
ference to military and postal require
ments. -s :, =. ~ =
Second, State roads. These to be
built and maintained By the several
States, and connect the various local
tiles Of the States, and be planned
with reference to the national roads.
~~ Third, county or neighborhood
roads. These to be built and main
tanned by counties and townships, and
be located with reference TO the class
eS just menL1OneQ.
Those who advocate this idea say
that if our common roads were i'm
proved by some such plan as this,
we should soon have them in the
hands Of competent and educated
engineers. The national roads would
probably be in charge Of army engi-
neers; the State roads in charge of
engineers graduated from the agri-
cultural and mechanical schools; and
the neighborhood roads in charge of
local men, who, once having had the
example set them Of how good roads
are built, would be entirely competent
to do what is usually necessary to be
done in making road of lesser import
iance. But, even under such a plan
as this, each county should have an
engineer to design the difficult work,
determine upon. location iof routes,
and inspect constructions and repairs.
Strange as it may seem, the proper
location Of a country highway presents.
to the. engineer more complex prob
lens than the location of railroad.
Country people do not understand
this, and are not willing to believe it,
therefore the crossroads storekeeper.
and the village blacksmith are usually
thought tc be entirely competent to
decide upon the route for a county
road. 4. :. .,.s. ...sz I, g. y. :.

A Brave Condnctor.

The conductor of passenger train
near Saline City, Ind, a few days age
by his presence Of mind averted hor.
rible accident. The train was standing
at the station, when by some mistake q
freight train was backed upon the main
track. The engineer on the passenger
train, to avert a collision, reversed his
train and with the fireman jumped. The
collision was slight, but the passenger
engine soon was running at frightful
speed. The conductor, noting the de-
sertion of the engineer and fireman, al
the risk Of his life clambered over the
tender and closed the wide opened
throttle, stopping the train just in time
to prevent. 8 collision with an incoming
train. APhladelphia Ledger. -

HON. WIN. j. LEE FOR LIEUT.. GOV.


While it is q little early to make
many calculations shout tho next Re-.
publican state ticket, il Is certainly
proper that this section Of the state
should unite in q movement to secure.
some representative on the state
ticket. We believe that BY continued.
efortthe Republicans Of this part Of
the state could secure the nomination
Of Hon. VIM. E. Lee of Todd county
for lieutenant governor, and such q
nomination would add strength to auy
ticket that could be named. Mr.. Lee
.has'ins various positions shown every
necessary attribute to qualify him for
the position, and as q citizen and Re
publican deserves high honors from
the people and the party. His name
is not a new one in state politics, and
to the solid delegations from this
vicinity would be added friends from
every part Of the state, and his nomi-
nation would be deserved and wise.
His views in this matter are not now
considered. but from every standpoint
it would be desirable that a deter.
mined effort be madetosecure him the
nomination.
Always an active and influential
worker. for his party, thoroughly quail,
fled for this important position, and
possessing many elements Of strength
particularly valuable in Republican
candidates this year, VIM. E. Lee, Of
Todd county, is presented as suit.
able nominee for lieutenant governor
on the Republican state ticket.

Millions Of Red Herring.

The waters Of the inlet at this time Of
the year hre fairly alive with red her.
ring. The general belief is that shipping
will drive these fish from any waters,
but any one standing on the deck of a
boat lying in the stream can see millions
of them now. Saturday afternoon sew,
eral boys were observed fishing in the
old Indian fashion, and they secured a
lot of fish, The Indian method is as
follows: Take a. slender pole about
twenty feet long and drive in on one side
q dozen or two of tenpenny nails; then,
sitting in the bow..of the boat, propel it
by padding with the pole. The pole, in
passing through the water, catches the
fish on the nails: In this way a large
quantity may be caught in short time.

! CONDITIONAL PARDONS.

81. Paul Dispat ch: Gov. Merriam
has decided to Issue conditional par
dons to conyicts ID the state prison
hereafter as recom amended By the
board Of prison managers and thelI
committee form the state board Of
corrections and charities. In issuing1
the order he made the provision that
il, after . fair trial, the system does
does not prove satisfacto it is to be-
discontinued. The order again puts
IN operation theilaw Of 1889, which
became in-operative on account Of.
the lack Of room at the state reforms
tory. The rules for conditional par.
don apply only to first termers at
Saltwater who are not known to have
served time for felony in any other
prison,s and the convict must have
served at least the minimum term
provided for the punishment Of his
offense, unless his sentence be for one
year or less, and in this case he must
have served at least two-thirds Of bis
sentence. The board Of managers
are to establish a system Of marks,
and only first grade prisoners are
eligible to pardon. No petition Or
argument from any one connected
with the prisoner will be entertained
unless q written statement is received
from the warden stating that the APP
pliaant has complied with the regula-
tions under which the pardons are to
be granted. At least four members
Of the board Of managers shall recon-
mend the pardon, stating that. they
believe, if released, the convict will
lead an upright life and that bis
release will be for the public welfare.
Before making the recommendation
1 81. - - = -
the managers must examine the
candidate and form an independent
opinion as to his fitness for release.
The warden must certify that suitable
employment has been secured for the
prisoner, and if the latter violate the
conditions Of his pardon he is liable
to be re-taken at any time. The
governor reserves the right to- refuse
conditional pardon whenever he may
deem it advisable for: the public
welfare. After release the convict
must keep the warden posted each
month as to the condition, his earn.
ings, expenditures, and will remain
in legal custody up to the expiration
of his full sentence, unless condi.
tional pardon is issued sooner.
Hereafter the governor will issue
no pardons except where the convict
is proven innocent of the crime fol
which he was sent up.
