WILL E. STOKE, Secretary.

THE DEMOCRAT would like to again
call the attention of the public in gen
eral and the board of county commits
sioners in particular, to the need of
more vaults or places of safety in the
county court house. The records in
the offices of probate judge and county
treasurer are absolutely without pro-
lection in case of fire; and the acct
dental loss of those records would be a
bad blow to the county. What ought
10 be done is the building of more
vaults. This could not we'll be done
in the court house without taking the
space now used for Jail and the
sheriff's residence. and that space is
much better adapted to use as vaults
than as either jail or residence. The
county should build separate building
for a county prison. If the city and
county could get together and put up a
building in one end of the park, max
ing it large enough for county jail.
sheriff's residence, city jail, council
room, police judges office and city
fire department.. The county and city
sharing the expense of erecting su6A
a building would not make it heavy
for the tax payers of either; and the
space in the court house now used for
other purposes could be utilized for
vaults for the county records. Think
this matter over, citizens, and talk it
up among you.

TOPEKA is as full of cranks as ever
we see. While the US. Marshal was
entertaining the Colorado CoxeY con-
tingent, awaiting orders from the ma
tional government as to what he should
do with them, the cranks of Topeka,
headed by Republican Joe Waters and
Populist DR.. McLallin, were tearing
their shirts about the train appropria-
tors being brought to Topeka. The
only incentive to their useless kick
was the simple fact that it was neither
the populists or republicans who were
administering law, but democrats.
Again we say: move the capitol away
from Topeka, and locate it in the cen
trail part Of the state.

HISTORIC OLD IRoNsIpEs.
How She Escaped when Pursued BY Seven
British WarshJps.

How She Escaped When Pursued by Seven
British WarshJps.
The Constitution, or Old Ironsides,
as she is Familiarity known, is the most
famous of all the wooden ships that we
have preserved, says writer in Har-
per's Young People. Time and again
did she vanquish the English ships in
the war of 1912, and proud were the
people of her captures. Probably the
most thrilling incident of her career
was her escape from seven English
men-of-war after an exciting chase of
nearly three days and nights. The
chase began on July II, 1912. The Con-
stitution was out for long cruise,
and was weighed down with stores.
The sea was calm and no wind was
stirring. Capt. Hull put out his men
in boats to to tow the ship. They
pulled valiantly, and as night came on
the ttkedge" anchor was run out half a
mile ahead. The crew on the ship kept
pulling on this, and the Britishers
didn't discover for a long time the
secret. Finally the English saw it, and
adopted the same tactics, and by
doubling up their crews began to pull
their famous ship Shannon near to the
Constitution. A light breeze sprang
up and saved the American ship for the
time. There was calm the next day,
and the agonizing struggle went on.
The next night another light breeze
came up and the tired sailors obtained
little sleep. The next day there came
a sharp breeze after many hours of
struggle. The Constitution trimmed
her sails to catch it, the, boats dropped
back and the men were caught up as
the ship gathered headway. The Guer-
rlere, of the English. feet, came abeam
as the wind freshened and fired
broadside, but the shots fell short, and
the Constitutions men ignored them
and calmly went about Strengthening
up their vessel as if they had just left
port and such thing as an enemy was
unheard of. AS long as the Constitu-
ton can be kept together she will
probably be seen at Portsmouth, N. H.,
where she is now doing duty as re-
ceiving ship. Our old ships have al
ways been proud, and it has amused
some of the thoughtless officials of
other nations; but there was bravery
in their pride and absolute courage
that has always been the embodiment
of that famous saying: 'Don't give up
the ship" We frequently hear laments
that the old soldiers are dropping away
fast. always share that feeling, but
also include in it those wooden ships
of the navy Scared veterans most of
them are, worthy of the abiding re-
membrance of a grateful people.

A Rabbit Department.

People who object to multiplicity
of departments in the government, says
the New York Tribune, should be
thankful that they do not live in New
Zealand, where, IN addition to the
usual state divisions, there is the rab-
bit department, which is the most inn
portant of the lot. 1t has the organi-
zation and equipment of forces and the
planning of campaigns against the
rabbits, which, if not kept under con-
troll, would overrun and devastate the
south island. The need of this depart
ment is shown by the fact in the
last five years about sixty-four million
rabbit skins have been exported, and
it is estimated that nearly three hun
dred million animals were killed to OBJ
tain that number of skins. In spite of
this wholesale slaughter the number of
Dummies is constantly increasing, and
the handling of the numerous multi
tude of animals is an undertaking re-
quiring both Judgment and force.

MONEY GIVES SOCIAL TONE.
The Best Deportmcnt Found Among Thos
Accustomed to Wealth.

The Best DepOrtmcnt Found Among Those
Accustomed to Wealth.
Long-inherited wealth, together with
the power it brings, creates a kind of
social climate in which most of the
qualities which give charm to social
intercourse ripen in way that is not
possible elsewhere and acquire more
delicate favors, says an article in
the North American Review.
This is not indeed most true. but true
most obviously with regard to charm
of manner; for manner, though its
raw material is always personal tenn
permanent, is in its finished state the
result of social circumstances and
bears something the same relation to
them that its scent does to flower;
and, though the greatest charm of
manner is a personal gift, like genius,
and though persons who have enjoyed
the same social advantages possess it no
doubt in very different degrees, it is
only in the best society that its great
est and finest charm is, as rule, pos
sible; and the manner of any average
man or woman brought up in such
society is, undoubtedly, with few ex-
ceptions, more agreeable than it would
have been had the person in question
been brought up in other circum-
StunceS.
This will, perhaps, be more readily
understood when fact is mentioned
which, though absolutely true, is the
exact reverse of what many people
imagine, and that is that manner in
the best society is distinguished before
all things by its simplicity and absence
of affectation-a simplicity which is
mainly due to that command of life
of which 1 have already spoken and
the fact that the conventions which
those in question obey are conventions
which are made or sanctioned by them
selves and themselves only. 1t is only
in the best society that this complete
simplicity is to be found combined with
the highest polish.

The History of tho Cent.

The first American cent was ''struck
off, and put in circulation just one hun
dred and one years ago, in 1893. Pre-
vious to that date several pattern
pieces had been made, but they were
experiments only, and were never put
in circulation. The so-called Wash
ington cents" which existed previous
to the date above given, were not issued
by the government, and were, there
fore, only medals The cent of 1793
was very similar to the large copper
cents of later date, with the exception
that the face of Liberty was turned
to the right, and the legend, zone
Cent, was inclosed in a chain Of thir-
teen links.

The potlach is festival given by the

of dancing, singing and games, while
beeves are kept constantly roasting, it

By local applications, as they cannot
reach the diseased portion of the ear.
There is only one way to cure Deafness,
and that is by constitutional remedies.
Deafness is caused by an infamed con-
dition of the mucous lining of the
Euetachian Tube. When this tube gets
5nfamed you have a rumbling sound or
imperfect hearing, and when it is entirely
closed Deafness is the result. and unless
the inflammation can be taken out and
this tube restored to its normal condi-
tion, hearing will be destroyed forever;
nine cases out of ten are caused by
Satarrh. which is nothing but an in
famed condition of the mucous surfaces.

iting number of well-appointed sum
mer houses, where the art of comfort

to a writer in the Boston Herald that
he admired our piazzas particularly.
This sort OF outdoor room is peculiar to
American houses, and it struck him as
being most delightful. Not that ''ver-
andas" were unknown, by any means,
in other parts of the world, but in Eng
land people only had gardens or ter
race, where they resorted in warm
weather. The broad piazza so com
mon to the seaside and country resi-
dence here, and which is furnished as
elaborately as any room in the home,
was unique. ''You know, we London
ers are content with bit of garden
with our houses" ''And very lovely
they are, too," interposed an auditor.
Eyes, so they are, with the ivied walls
and the old trees and shrubs! We who
are lucky to have gardens live in them
in warm weather, but it is often damp,
don't you know, on the ground. There
are all sorts of devices in wicker fur
niture to save us from rheumatism,
and there are arbors, but 1 would like
to buy one CT your piazzas and set it up

tuition as you Americans say"

COTTON BAGG1NG AGAIN.
A Liverpool Firm Protests Against the
Use of so Much Bagging on Bales.

Use of so Much Bagging on Bales.
Liverpool Cotton Association, Limited.
LIVERPOOL, June %, 1894
To the President of the Farmers State
Alliance, KInstOe, N. c., y. S. a.
DEAR SIR:-I beg to draw the atten-
tion of your society to the growing
practice on the part of planters of over
taring American cotton. Complaints
have this season been loud and wide
spread that canvas is placed upon the
bales in quantities incommensurate
with the need for protection and cover
ing; that this is done by putting the
canvas upon the bales in double layers
and often by tucking into the ends of
the bales, in pillow fashion, rolls of
canvas which can serve no other pur-
pose than that of fraudulently adding
to the weight of the bale.
This practice has entailed severe
losses in the form of claims for excess
of tare upon our members, claims
which it is difficult to establish and
collect in America.
A rule obtains in this market, based
upon long established custom, that
canvas must only be placed upon the
bales in single layers for due protection
of the goods, and buyers have the right
TO refuse to receive cotton canvassed
in excess of such requirements. We
would respectfully request that you
draw the attention of planters to this
matter which cannot but be injurious
in the long run to all concerned, and
take such action as you may deem best
to remedy the evil complained Of,
Yours faithfully,
r O.. BEAZLEY, President.
