Further Testimony Regarding the Death
of Conductor Chamberlain.
The r ct mond Dispatch says: The re-
mains of Capt l. w Chamberlain, the
conductor On the Coast Line who was
killed just south Of Peters, urg, Tuesday
evening, were brought to this city yester-
day morning and taken TO the residence
of his mother. The eXcursionists whom
Captain Chamberlain were bringing to
the cify stayed here yesterday forenoon
visiting the points of interest, and one
and all who were approached on the sub
iect secuted the idea that there was any
foul play connected with Captain Cham
berlain's death Mr. w. A. Muse, of the
Seaboard Air Line, who managed the ex-
cursion, said there was no doubt that the
unfortunate conductor was knocked from
the platform by a whistling-p post. He
saw Captain Chamberlain just before he
was killed and just after he struck the
ground, as he was interested in watching
his anxiety about the hot box.
He also, he said, talked with an old
colored man who was walking alongside
the track when Captain Chamberlain
| fell, and who stated that he was knocked
off by his head coming in contact with
the post.
! Mr.. Muse corroborated the statement
of Mr. Walker and others, that the post
was bloOdstained and the conductors cap
was cut, and also bore testimony to Cap
tain Chamberlain's good temper and
| courtesy. There was not, he declared, a
drunken man-white or cOlor1d-On the
| train, and the conductors bearing was
such that he could not have given offence.

Paving Off Election Bets.

PHILADELPHIA, Nov. 12.-'I bet on
Harrison and Reid,' was the legend
red and blue chalked on large placard
which decorated the front of a hand
organ and attracted quite crowd on
Vine street this afternoon. The styl-
isbly dressed man who turned the
crank was William Nelson, who agreed,
if Harrison lost, to play hand organ
on the streets of this city for six hours
and on Inauguration day to go to Wash
ington and play in front of the review
ing stand as the parade goes by.
John Leithhead. foreman of Engine
company 49 of Germantown, will sit as

Leithhead will occupy seat on water
plug in front of the company's build
ing, and Bennett will do the throwing
from a distance of thirty feet. The
leading democratic politicians of the
ward have been invited to witness the
performance.

{. 1t is admitted on all hands that the
democrats have received a commission
from the people to carry out the policy
outlined in their Chicago platform, and
the unanimity with which this com.

hands is an evidence that the taxpay.

Presidential Votes.

Cleveland's astonishing majority of
electoral and popular votes has set peo-
pie to comparing the figures OF elections
in older days. General Washington re-
ceived in 1889 out of 73 electoral votes
the practical unanimity of SO. In 1892
he had 132 out of 1876. John Adams
in 1896 had II out of 13S. Jefferson
and Burr Tied on 73 in 1900. Then the
system was changed to the present one
Of voting separately for President and
Vice President.
In 1904 Jefferson received 1852 and
Pinckney ii, Madison got 122 out of
176 the first time, Pinckney being bis
federalist competitor. Against Clin-
ton, Madison got 12S out of 21S. Nun
roe had 1S3 against Rufus Kings 81.
So we see that Democrats got big
majorities in early times.
In the election of 1924 there was no
majority in the college. Jackson had
SO, Adams 81, Crawford Al and Clay
81. Jackson had los, 1872 of the popu.
lar vote to Adams los ,321.
In 1928 Jackson beat Adams, IT'S to
S3, the popular vote being Jackson 647 ;
231 and Adams 50a,097.
Jackson deluged Clay with 219 to 40.
The popular vote was 6s7 ,5O2 to $780,.
1S9. Van Buren, succeeded to Jack
sons strength and got 10 to Harrison's
73, the rest scattering. In 1910 Har.
rison turned the tables and got 234 to
Van Buren's go. The popular vote ran
nearly even in both these contests.
Polk beat Clay by ITO to los. The
popular vote was !, 1897 ,24s to 1, 29s ,o6s
Big majorities came to Pierce, who
had 254 to Scott's 42.
Lincoln IS electoral vote was $50 to
Breckinridge's ~ and Douglas II
The combined Democratic poular vote
was 2. 221 $40 to Lincoln's 1856 ,352.
Grant had both electoral and popu
lar majorities in 1868 and 1872.
Tilden's popular majority was ESQ,
600 and in the count out Hayes had
one majority in the electoral college.
Cleveland has had a popular ma
| jority three times.
These are tbe results of a hundred
years of presidential voting.-Sterlins

THAT party SO strong. and appar-
emily possessed of lease OF perpetual
power should in four years descend
from the pinnacle of victory to the
depths of defeat is more than a curious
happeoIng; it is a study for the histor-
ian and moral philosopher. The power
of the republican party in Kansas
seemed as securely based as any merely
human institution could be. Its foun-
dations were laid in the eafliest history
of the state; it was buttyessed by
tradition; 1t had strong hold in the
imagination of the people; its orators
could rouse the people by the memory
of past wrongs and of victories long
ago. In its youth it had had blood
sprinkled in its face; it was associated
with the dedication of Kansas to
liberty; it had cast ont devils and
worked miracles in the name of free
dom. In its very last general rally en-
masse it had cast $1,000 majority for
the presidential candidate of the party.

the republican party who do any think
ing give this Interpretation to the re-
suit. Some of the small fry. whose
minds are stepped in partisanship
have come forward with various ex
cuses and explanations, but the mel
who do the thinking for the republican
organization do not hesitate to admit
that the people have repudjated the re-
publican platform and endorsed tha,
of the democrats Our readers will
observe that Mr.. Chauncey Depew
gives this Interpretation to the result
1.-The verdict of the people," he says
sis direct instruction to the govern
ment to repeal the Mckinley bill, and
maintain tariff for revenue only;'
and then be asks: ''Will the demo
cratic party have the courage to carry
out these Instructions? I predict that
they will not stand on single plank OF
their Chicago platform"
The democrats know precisely what
they have been commissioned to do
and they should proceed with courage
and confidence to carry out promptly
the mission with which they have been
entrusted by the people. TO refuse OF
neglect to do this would be to throw
away the only opportunity of carrying
out its policy that the party has had
for more than thirty years.
What is to be done should be done
quickly. The democrats cannot afford
to attend slowly on the general order OF
things. The opportunity they have
should be seized eagerly and taken ad
vantage of promptly. To wait on the
regular routine would be to postpone
every shape and kind OF reform de.
manded by the people for more than q
year. In the ordinary course of events
the new congress which the people have
selected to carry out their demands
will not meet until year from mex,
December, and during all that time
the country will be rocking along un-
der republican legislation, and the peo-
pie will be suffering from the results
of laws which they haye commissioned
the democrats to repeal.
It will be time enough to inaugurate
policy of affirmation when the statute
books have been cleared of the op.
pressive measures which the republi.
cans have invented for the purpose OF
swelling their corruption fund. The
democrats have great work before
them. They are commanded by the
people to negative and reform not on
iy the tariff legislation of the repubIi-
cans, but the financial legislation which
has enabled Wall Street and the money
power to manipulate the currency and
arrest its circulation to suit the con.
venience of their speculative schemes.
Let the democratic work of reform
be begun as soon after the Inaugural
tion of President Cleveland as possible
and let it be pushed forward boldly and
relentlessly.--Atlanta Constitution.

A DISPATCH from Topeka says that
fear has been expressed by business
men and corporations that the new
state government and the legislature
would at once. ce.inaugurate war on the
railroads and other corporations to the
great injury of the people. 1t is feared
that the prospect of such legislation
would drive away eastern capital and
generally unsettle values." This fear
probably comes from the fact that the
corporations know that they made a
fight on the people. That scarecrow
about eastern capital being scared out
or driven out of the state IS back

STOCK NOTES.

PURE bred live stock is a leading
educator. The man who once begins
| breeding becomes a student of animal
life. The result is a humane and in
telligent man with prosperous and
progressive family.
~
ONE of the chief causes of the poverty
of some farmers is the use of scrub
stock. Nothing is so sure to keep a
farmer poor as to make good crops and
| feed his surplus to scrub stock. An
English farmer would abandon bis
farm altogether If he was compelled to
use such stock as is kept on many farms
in this country. There is no reason
for keeping of scrubs, as males from
pure bred herds or f1ocks can be pro-
cured at very nominal cost compared
with the advantages gained.s

Don't leave me hitched in my stall at

Don't compel me to eat more salt
than want by mixing it with my oats
l know better than any other animal
how much need.
Don't think because go free under

move up if under the whip.
Don't think because l am a horse
that iron weeds and briars won't hurt
my hay.
Don't whip me when 1 get frightened
along the road, or 1 will expect it next
time, and maybe make trouble.
Don't trot me up hill, for L have to
carry you and the buggy and myself
too. Try it yourself some time. Run
up hill with big load.
Don't keep my stable very dark, for
when go out into the light my eyes
are injured, especially if snow be on
the ground.
Don't say who unless you mean it..
Teach me to stop at that word. 1t may
check me if the lines break, and save a
runaway and smashup.
DON'T make me drink ice cold water
or put a frosty bit in my mouth.
Warm the bit by holding it half min

Don't forget to file my teeth when
they get jagged and cannot chew my
food. When [ get lean it is sign my

Don't ask me to 'back' with blinds

Don't run me down steep hill, for
if anything should give away I might
break your neck.
Don't put on my blind bride so that
it irritates my eye, Or so leave my fore

Don't be so careless of my harness as
