THE LAWS DEL. AY

A great writer has alluded to
the laws delay as one of the scri-
Gus evils of life, and nowadays ev.
ry other citizen one meets para.
phrases the great authors saying.
1t is impossible THAT the Press
can ignore the almost universal
feeling that has been aroused i'm
our community by the recurrence
of outrageous crime. There does
not seem to be anything TO urge a.
gainst our county judge and com
monwealth's attorney, for these a.
bic and fearless officials have
shown that they realiez the urgent
necessity of the punishment OF
crime, but circumstances beyond
THEIR control have created the i'm
preston among crooks and Grim
inals that, provided they can Sc
cure the services Of able and repu-
table attorneys, they can violate
the laws almost with lmpunity. In
this state Of affairs it is plainly the
"'duty ofthe press, the pulpit and
the people to demand the punish
7'ment Of crime and especially motto.
..'rious and hahitual criminals be-
lplaced beyond the reach of mob vi
olencc and beyond the possibility
of harming innocent citizens.

Democratic platform of 1889, upon
which Philip w. Mckinney was elect

provisions thereof. We congratu
lato our Governor upon his excellent
administration, and especially upon
the fact that it has been signalized
by the settlement through wise legis-
iatlon OF the long vexed issue, the
State debt. Wo reaflirm, also, the
national Democratic platform of 1884
and 1883, and upon which we believe
the Democratic party of the whole
country can and will unto and elect
President.
8. Regarding the agricultural in.
terest rs the basis of natural nros.
perty we favor q national policy cal
culated to foster and encourage it,
and, to this end, we renffirm our be
lief in thrift reform, and demand an
increase in the volume of currency to
an extent sufficient for the CONNER

country.
.. That we invoke the candid iudg.
ment OF the American people upon
the Fifty-irst Congress of the United
States, commonly known as the "Bil.
lion Dollar Congress-" which SO
quickly squandercd the surplus which
had been accumulated in the Treas.
ury by the last Democratic Admins

omy, tho clean and honest methods
and the non sectional character of
the late Democratic Administration.

Talent nud Genius.

A reader wishes to know the difference
between talent and genius, il there is any.
There is great deal of difference, and its
manifestations are in u very marked con-
trast.
Talent is development Of the natural
understanding. IL may be inherited or it
may be an original gift. At any rate, ii
is special natural inclination in any GER
tain direction, rs for language, for music,
painting or what not else. Cultivation
perfects IL mechanically and develops it to
its fullest extent.
Genius ia the action OF reason and the
imagination. 1t is thoughtful and
creative where talent is merely mechani-
cal and initiative. Talent reflects ideas
and subjects in order TO inspire them with
life.
In this way OF familiar illustrations, II
may he said that Charles Dickens was a
genius, and Charles Reade n man OF talent.
Anthony Trollops was talented man,
and Thackeray genius. With this hint
the reader can go ahead and make up
contrastcd list of what he considers the
eeniuses and the talents OF the universe for
himsclf.-Farm and Fireside.
