inals and tracing out crimes, here is one
at hand for them to begin upon.
No matter what may be the outcome
of either case, the present method OF
police investigation has been demon
strated to be weak and inefficient. The
fault is as much with the system as
with the men.

Tributes to ex-Secretary Foster are
found in most Of cur exchanges, and it
is very noticeable that even the most
bitter of the Democratic organs take
occasion to say kind word IN his be-
half. The Philadelphia Record, In
speaking of his recent financial troubles,
says:
The business embarrassments Of the popular
ohioan who wes secretary OF ths treasury under
have had dealings with Mr.. Foster. In either his
private his Official capacity. While In charge OF
the national finances Mr.. Foster might easily have
utilized his position TO render himself Independent
OF and superior TO any future vicssitudes of for
tune. But he administered HIS hign trust with
clean hands, and not breath OF suspicion clouded
his Official acts. Such man should not lack SUBJ
stantial assistance in his hour of financial ex-
tremity.
What is said of Mr.. Foster may be
said of the great majority of public
officers under the late administration.
"Turn the rascals out" is good cam
paign cry for the Democrats, bat after
change take place it is generally found
that the affairs of government have
been wisely aud honestly administered
by Republican office holders.

CAUGHT IN THEIR OWN TRAP.

CAUGHT In THEIR OWN TRAP.
The attempt of the Democratic lead
ers TO throw the blame for the present
unfortunate condition of affairs in the
general assembly upon the Republicans
will deceive no one. The Republicans
have acted strictly in accordance
with the law and the con-
stitution. Moreover, by preventing
the carrying out Of the barefaced Dem
ocratic scheme to capture the state gov
ernment they have obeyed the wishes
of the citizens as expressed at the polls,
and will be sustained in their course by
the sympathy of every right-minded
citizen.
The Senate was organized in strict
accordance with the law, and when
that work was completed the house was
notified that the upper branch was
ready for business.
With the house the case was differ
ent. The roll was made up in fagrant
disregard of the law. and when an or
ganization had been effected it failed to
notify the senate, as expressly ordered
by the law and constitution. Instead,
it proceeded with unseemly and unjusti-
fable haste to unseat Republicans about
whose title to seats there would have
been no question in an impartial and
non-partisan body.
1t follows that, having openly defied
the law, the house, as at present organ
lied, and so far as the grand committee
is concerned, is revolutionary body,
and not entitled to recognition by the
senate. This is the plain, cold and ire
fragable fact, and no amount of parti-
san denunciation or Misrepresentation
will change it.
The Democrats have been caught in
their own trap, and their discontinue
is the greater because it is the legiti-
mate result of their own chicanery.

THE GRIP AND ITS WORK.

The grip appears to be epidemic
in England. as well as in this coun-
try. In Liverpool it first attacks
the mouth, throat and eyes, and
then unless properly treated the
lungs.
Advices from Washington say
that this season the disease attacks
the throat with peculiar virulency.
1t causes many patients to loose
their voices, and in some cases
brings on a spasmodic contraction
of the throat with alarming symp-
toms or strangulation. A similar
story comes from other large cities
in the east, and the malady pre-
walls with more or less severity
throughout the west and south.
No great mortality has yet been
reported, but our experience dur
ing the past two winters with the
grip will suggest the adoption of
every known safeguard, and if
nothing else can be done. all unnec-
essary exposure should be avoided,
aud the first appearance of a cold
should be the signal for prompt and
vigorous treatment.

A Manatee in Reelfoot Lake

A correspondent of the ST. Louis
Republic, writing from Trimble,
Tenn, gives the following iucred.
ible story about q manatee IN
Reelfoot Lake:
John Gastonade, a Swede, who
lives near Reelfoot lake, met with
q strange adventure inst before
the last cold spell. His calf got
ont of the lot and strayed away.
John hunted in vain all the
following day for bossy. The
second day he started out
bright and early in search Of the
missing animal. 1t was a very
warm day and the sun was shining
brightly. About ten O'Clock while
near the lake he heard the calf
bleating piteously. He quickened
his pace and when about 100 yards
from the lake he saw the lost calf
running franticslly M and down
the hank. On second glance he
discovered to his dismay what he
thought was his COW in the lake.
She would rise from the water,
60 down and come up in another
place few yards away. The COW
dived again, and just as John
reached the bank il came mp
with a puff and a blow about ten
yards from the bank. The man
saw ut glance it wasn't the
kind ola COW that he had been
used to, and with o yell Of fright
which caused the animal to sink
quickly beneath the surface of the
water he left at q 2:4O gait for
home, paying no attention to the
calf.
Being afraid to return alone
after the calfhe got several friends
to accompany him. Arriving at
the spot they found the cause Of
Gastonade's search still standing
on the bank gazing sorrowfully at
the water and bleating mournful.

ments. In a few minutes the All.
imal that had given John such q
fright was seen to arise from be.
hind little Island about so yards
from shore. AS soon as Sim Wet.
ner wOodsman, who had worked
in the pineries of Florida, saw it
he excitedly exclaimed:
"The great heavens! I'll be
id If 1t amt manatee"
The animal, frightened at the
sound Of Wetner's voice, sank
beneath the surface and was seen
no more. Sim swears il was q
manatee and he should know, for
he has seen hundreds Of them on
the Indian River in Florida. But
the perplexing question lie: How
did the animal manage to get so
far away from it's native haunts.
