YOUTHFUL DEPRAVITY.



On Friday morning last when Sheriff

Nv The Terrc Haute Gazette is can

THE COURIER stands squsrely on the
Democratic platform and In harmony
with Democratic precedents ever since
1898, in favor OF the free and equal coin
age Of both silver and gold-if either

II believes In tho repeal OF the Sher.
man law, because that law simply makes
. commercial commodity Of silver, but
would couple its repeal with free and
unlimited coinage at lG to 4.
IL that Is impossible the COURIER
would stop all coinage Of silver or gold
except for fractional currency, and
would have the Government issue Treas

Must Have q Substitute.

The CouRIER's Washington City cor.
respondent, under the date of the 10Th,
speaking OF the probabilities Of the ses-
sion and the celebrity with which the
Democrats Of the house agreed to rule
for disposing OF and discussing the silver
question, before the committees were or.
gsuized, says the Sherman law will not
Be repealed without . substitute being
enacted, notwithstanding the spostasy to
the Democratic platform, and the de-
mands Of the common people Of their
districts, Of Bynum and Brown, and
other congressman elected as Democrats.
He says:
Tho Democratic senetors have not
found 1t 90 easy to agree upon program
'6or the disposal Of the 81. ser question in
ehe senate, although the committee sp-
pointed by tho Democratic caucus Of
which Senator German is chairman, has
made some progress towards q compro-
mise. and there is reason for the belief
that 1t will eventually succeed. The
most radical silver men in congress are
Republican senators, aud 1t is their influ-
ence which makes 1t difficult to get the
Democratic senators to agree upon q
compromise substitute for the Sherman
Law. There is little, il any, probability
that bill for the repeal OF the entire
law, or Of the purchasing clause, can get
through the senate without being accom-.
panied by substitute"

LUc1us Qu1NT1us C1Ko1NNATUs LAMAR,
a Southern statesman and a Justice of
the supreme court of the United States,
died at his home in Macon, Ga, last
Monday, at the age Of g. He was q
man Of considerable literary and legal
attainments and represented Mississippi
as Democrat in the house and senate
at Washington. While in the senate
he participated in important debates,
and had q famous congressional tilt in
which Blaine, Zach Chandler, Thurman
and other distinguished men took part
in reference to jeff Davis, whom Lamar
compared to Washington and Hampden,
and Chandler stigmatized as perjurer
and double-dyed traitor to his govern
ment. He was Secretary of the Interior
in Cleveland's cabinet and was subse-
quently elevated to the supreme bench.

The New York Herald printed an al
legged interview the other day with dis
tinguished Jesuit in Rome who expressed
his admiration of Archbishop Ireland for
his talents and character but was op.
posed to his views on the school question.
Being asked if his order cared much for
his views and doctrines, the Jesuit said:
eyes, We think a great deal about them
and have attacked them" They dis
trusted his views ON education and
thought them dangerous, and they could
not endorse the Archbishop's position in
reference to the United States having
the right to give or confer moral educa-
ton. The fact is that the Archbishop
has never said that the state schools, as
at present conducted, can give q sound
moral education, and the talented and
active Jesuit" is laboring unds # an
erroneous impression if he thinks the
Catholic Church in this country has
given up its independence by anything
that the great prelate of st. Paul has
ever said Or done.

The potato was used as food in Amer
lea long before the advent of Europeans,
and was probably indigenous from Chilli
to Mexico. 1t was taken from Peru to
Spain, and thence into the Netherlands,
Burgundy, and other parts of Europe
early il the sixteenth century. In 1868
or 1866 it was carried from Virginia to
Ireland by Sir John Hawkins, and Sir
Francis Drake introduced it into Eng
land in 1885. It's Importance as veget
able was not recognized, however, until
the time of Sir Walter Raleigh, who cul.
tivated it on considerable scale on his
estates in the County of Cork, Ireland
Through the exertions of Raleigh it was
developed in quality and popularizsd az
food to such an extent in ireland that
it's cultivation spread into England
where it became known as the "Irish po.
tate" The potato mentioned by early
English writer's before the seventeenth
century was the same as the Spanish
batatas, or sweet potato.

of his utterances being displeasing to the

Ex-MAYoR p. B. Winston is making q
good record as legislator in the House
of Representatives. He has already in
troduoed two bills of considerable merit,
one Of which provides for free text books,
and the other is designed to enable the
people to vote more intelligently and to
facilitate the counting of the ballots. We
treat at length of the text book bill and
give synopsis as follows Of the election
law: Instead of mixing up the names Of
the various party candidates, the tickets
Of each party will be in separate columns
to enable the voters to readily find the
names OF their favorite cand gdates. The
names OF all candidates are on one large
sheet, and a square at the top gives an
opportunity to vote a straight ticket by
making one cross. The counting is to
be done on tally sheet specially pre-
pared and divided into blocks OF fifties.
To vote a mixed ticket, the voter may
place cross after each candidate Of his
choice, as at present, or make cross at
the top which will count for all candi-
dates Of any party except those crossed
in the other columns. The method for
voting mixed ticket, where a number
of candidates are elected of one Office, is
greatly simpli6ed, the leading idea be-
ing how not to defeat the intent Of thu
voter. To facilitate counting, the bill
provides one ballot judge and two ballot
clerks in each district in cities Of IL 600
and upward, and the same in smaller
cities and towns if the council or super
visors 90 order. There are to be two
judges and two clerks to count the white
and the other to count the blue ballots.
The bill also provides for instructions to
the electors how to mark the ballots.
The compensation Of judges and clerks
is to be thirty cents per hour instead OF
So per day, as at present. The last clause
Of the bill provides penalty for print.
ing or distributing anonymous circulars
attacking the character Of candidates TOR

is wanted and with possibly q few verbal
