NAME OF CHASE WlrHD RAWN.

EDITOR OF THE TRIBUNE:
SIR:-After general consultation with
his friends from all sections Of the county.
Aaron Augustus Chase has expressed his
disinclination to have his name used as a
candidate at the coming election, ana 1t
is due to the public that the committee,
through it's chairman, should have word
to say at this time.
We are neither dismayed nor disheart-
ened at the power displayed by the tenn
porary success of the political bosses and
rings because we know that our cause Is
right and that the people will sooner or
later come to comprehend this fact in a
manner that shall control their votes, and
then the man who seeks to buy and sell
votes, influence, nominations aud elections
will DO known and recognized for just
what he is-the msst dangerous and desplc-
able character in a Republican form OF
government. If manhood is to survive,
this corruption in politics must be eradi-
Gated or suppressed. Possibly we should de-
spair did we believe the vote returned
for our candidate last year represents the
numerical strength Of those who preferred
to see him elected, Up to within three
weeks of that election reports through in
teliigent and reliable sources from all Sec
tions Of the county satisfied our committee
that Mr.. Cna6e was the preference OF
large majority Of the voters for judge
Then came Doodle and bigotry, Grazing
what could not be made drunk or cor
rupted, and through slavish obedience to
party whips and aided with the sophistry
and specious plea of "Dont throw away
your vote on Chase" the enemy tri-
umphed.
We assert, therefore. that the result Of
that election was not verdict against our
candidate or cause, snd we believe that if
Doodle, bigotry and slavish obedience to
party whip could be eliminated from the
contest this fall, and Mr.. Chase were 9
candidate for judge, he would be elected.
But indications point to the same condi'
tions as being likely to prevail that pre-
dominated last year. We have no part IN
such contest.
When susceptibility to these sinister In
| fuences shall have been somewhat out
grown, we shall again call on Mr.. Chase to
become candidate for Judge.

e. II. Cook, A. NJ, PHI. D., ex-head
master of the Rutgers college prepara-
tory school, New Brunswick, N. j., and
president of the national educational
association, graduated at Bowdoin In
1866. He organized the Westchester,
Penn, state normal school, and was the
first principal; was principal of the Co.
lumbus, o., high school. From 1874 to
1889 he was principal Of the normal
school at Potsdam, N. Y, spending $780,
900 in the erection Of new buildings and
renovation of old.
Says the Journal Of Education: Mr..
Cook is widely known and highly ap-
preciated for the genuine boom that
every institution with which he has
been connected has enjoyed, and from
the prominence given him by the state
associations of Ohio, New York and
New Jersey. He has the tact to take
advantage of circumstances, the abil-
ity to decide promptly, and the energy
to execute. He has accomplished
enough to satisfy any mans profess
sional ambition, and yet the best work
and highest honors ought to be ahead
| of him.

1t is possible that the professor got
his dates mixed up little, for the day
is "a hours at the polar circle on June
%, when the sun is in the summer
solstice; but not on the equinox nor
any other time of the year.
THE FIFTH SUMMARY.
In his fifth summary, the professor
makes another mistake when he says
"the sun appears above the horizon in
the arctic regions from March q until
Sept. 22.n There exists the some ply
sical impossibility to the truth of this
assertion as there is to the correctness
of the idea that the day is "a hours
long at the polar circle on the equinox.
On March q the day is the same
length as on Sept. %, as stated above,
viz, 10 hours, 20 minutes, so the sun
is at least hours below the horizon on
that date; but as we move north from
the polar circle the day becomes
longer, and the night shorter, until at
the very pole the night has entirely
vanished and the day is "a hours long.
AS the sun apparently ascends from
Ine Veruel equinox MdTcu Il, w Ine
summer solstice June %, the "a hour
day descends from the pole to the
polar circle, and that is as near as the
sun and the "a hour day come to one
another.
From June % to Sept. 20 the twenty
four-hour day moves north at the same
rate as the sun moves south until on
the latter date the conditions and the
facts are the same as they were on
March 81.
In conclusion, / would respectfully
ask Professor Joyce the following ques
tions: Is it possible to see the sun when
more than ninety degrees away? II
so, can it be seen when 113 degrees and
% minutes distant? To substantiate
his assertions 1t is necessary for the pro
fessor to answerthe above in the affirm
ative. If he can do SO, and prove 1t,
will stand corrected; if not, it is but
fair to expect that he will see and ad-
NIT that mine 'is the correct idea"

DR.. Cook has been sick.

Prof Cook is one Of the editors Of the

and at its regular business meeting re-
solved that in future the officers in
charge OF the sunday school will be ap-
pointed by the church, and joint COM
mittee chosen from both the school and
the church will have supervision Of the

A Dilemma.

The Grand Jury of Lexington, KY, re-
Gently found two indictments against two
different parties which are somewhat con-
hicting in nature.
{. {. Moore is charged with blasphemy
having published false words" concern
ing the birth of Jesus Christ" intend
ing thereby to treat with ridicule the ac-
count of the divine conception and birth
of the biblical Christ"
]. w. Lunsford is charged with obtain
ing money by false pretenses i'll claiming
to call up spirits from another world.
Sitting it down to the cause, one is
charged with believing too little; the
other with believing too much or one is
to be tried for not believing i'll a future
life, and the other for proving that there
is future.
What the petit jury is going to do
about it is a puzzle to rational minds
If they convict one they cannot convict
the other-provided the prisoners are
tried on Christian principles; which, pre-
sumably they will he from the indict-
ments.
of course, they may set up star cham
Der court and try both by prejudice
simply, and convict them accordingly,
leaving the science of the whole indict-
ment out Of the play. But if justice is
given, the jury must FIRST have proofs
that Jesus conception was spiritual, and
that there are no spirits to call up from
another world Cincinnati Light of

Charles c. Moore has announced him
selfa candidate on the Prohibition ticket,
provided the celebrated temperance lee
turer, George w. Balm, will not run.
Moore is the editor Of the BLUEGRASS
Blade, an infdel, although he has the ap-
pearance of christian man. He says he
is in earnest, and will meet ON the stump
any OF the candidates save Breckinridge.
He says he would not recognize Breckin-
ridge privately or socially. nor would he
agree to debate with him publicly. He
will be an interesting man to listen to
when the speaking has begun, since he
never has been known to mince matters
when talking of mems morals. In his
paper he criticises the persons he sees
fit to without regard to friendship or So
ciety.
He looks like a mountain farmer and
calls himself heathen. He wears his
hair long and his bushy, gray beard COW

{. c. Moore, Lexington, KY.
Dear Sir-Your arrest for blusphemyGD
has excited a great deal of comment
here among the liberal element, which
numbers thousands. 1t will be discuss
ed before the Ohio Liberal League,
society of 500 Free Thinkers.
We rejoice that there is one editor in
this country who will not muzzle the
truth. Our sympathy and interest are
excited i'll this test case, and it will be
watched closely. 1t will awaken the
whole country, and have good effect.
The sacrifice you are making will endear
you to every Free Thinker in this coun-
try. and even in Europe
The Christian religion is out of har-
mony with the existing realities of
things, and all the triumphant thought
of this age, and cannot stand. Brave
men and brave women are coming to the
front rapidly, but brave editors are
needed above all else. When the press
is muzzled, and interchange and COM
munication with the ignorant is cut off,
we can only hope for slow weary pro-
gression. All hail! to Editor Moore
who barely tears away the blinds of
superstition, and lets the pure light of
truth pour through fair windows, along
the dim corridors of doubts, and stream
into the priest-curtained orifce; who
sweeps up the debris of decaying faiths,
and tears down the cob-webs of worn
out beliefs, and lights up the day of Rea-
son among men. This arrest excites
my indignation, as it will every lover of
liberty i'll this country. In the language
of Bobby Burns, who understood human
nature we'll, and the clergy in particular.
They talk religion in their mouth,
They talk of mercy, grace and truth,
For what? to gle their malice skouth
On some puir wight;
And hunt him down, DER right and ruth
To ruin straight

In spite of undermining jobs,
In spite O. dark, banditti stabs,
At worth an merit,
BY scoundrels, cen wi holy robes,
But hellish spirit.

To gle the rascals their deserts,

DEAR SIR
As am more thai paid up with your
paper, hope you will not consider me
mean and low, and mo gentleman" when
| ask you to stop my paper at once. l
believe in Prohibition and vote as be-
lieve; but believe in something else as
we'll.
You object to Catholics and Episcopa-
lians Haunting Lent into your face, and
so object to your Haunting Inhdelity
into my face. While you are lecturing
others on consistency, don't forget to
take lesson yourself You need not
think that Prohibition Christians will
take your paper for the sake of Prohi-
bition when it comes into their homes
splitting gaul and venom on the fair name
of the founder of their religion. One
can not take fire into his bosom and not
be burned; neither can a man take a wolf
into his house without endangering the
lives of his children.
And you need not think that because
you lied and was hypocrite, when you
were preacher, and said you believed
the Bible, all other preachers are the
same. do not know why you should
say such things of the preachers, unless
you jndge them by yourself
l am sorry for the man over at Milledge-
vile who would rather be Prohibition
infdel than whiskey preacher. Aman
is fool for ''rathering" to be either.
And venture to offer little modest ad-
vice, that when you want to link your
name with others of your own ilk, with
some regard to 1.-The eternal fitness of
things" you make the list Tom Payne,
Voltaire, c. c. Moore and the Devil.
No, no, Charley, you can't send your
paper to me under the disguise of pro-
hibition, when it comes singing filth
and insult into the faces of those, who
under other circumstances, would be
glad to give it a helping hand.
Yours no Moore,
