The Program for the Noni-
nation of George W. Balm
for Congress fro m this Dis
triot

Ii is now understoodd that a conyen-
ton will be called in Lexington Just one
week after the Democratic convention
for the purpose of nominating George
". Balm for Congress from this district
The time Of the Democratic convention
will not be determined until the close
of the Pollard rd-Breckinridge trial.
At our convention it is understood
that Rev. J. w. McGarvey of the Univcr-
sity Of Kentucky will make the nominal
ing speech and that if the speech sec
onding his nomination is made bv any
body in this city it will be Mr. J. II.
Beauchamp. There is nobody that can
do this any more forcibly and gracefully
than Mr.. Beauchamp. but il is thought
that II would perhaps be in better taste
not to have both nominating speeches
from the same place.
The policy of the campaign is to ex-
hibit practically fundamental principle
Of Prohibition politics; namely, that the
Office should seek the man, rather than
that the man should seek the office Col
Bans political views and his powers as
all orator are so thoroughly recognized
throughout this State that there would
hardly be any occasion for his taking the
STUMP Dl llt
old parties; and vet, if there are very
earnest calls for him, he will be advised
bv his friends who will manage the cam,
paign to respond TO them, and will al
,ost certainly do so.
While Col Balm will of course make
-ace as the champion of Prohibition
al he is, his friends feel themselves
.,arranted i'll believing that his support
ought not to be, and will not be, limited
to party Prohibitionists; but they be
lieve that the interest of our national poll
tics, and much more of our state politics
demand that all moral citizens of this
district, regardless of any previous poll
tical or religious affiliation should com
bine to support Col. Balm whose life has
been one of the highest personal purity
and intelligent philanthropy, as opposed
to the narrow partisanism and immoral
ity Of any man now likelyto oppose him
II is, by his friends, urged that both the

ON the San Francisco Call.

FROM the san franclscO Cal.
Cats, as a rule, don't like water. but an
Italian fisherman named Michael has a
large Maltese cat named Joe that loves
water as much as other cats love a rug in
front of a crate fire.
Michael has one of those lateen-rigged
boats and goes fishing in the usual way, ex-
cept that he takes Joe along. He likes to
have Joe and Joe likes to go.
While the boat is on the way to the fish
ing grounds Joe lies still and doesn't mind
how wet he gets or how much the little
craft pitches about. But when the seine
with its load of wriggling fish is hauled in
Joe's fun commences. He Is most anxious
to get hold of the largest, and will often
jump into the net before 1t is landed.
When a big rock cod Is thrown on the
deck the cat is In its glory. He will run
around and attempt to shake 1t as he would
a mouse. The fish spreads out its fins and
opens 1t mouth and Joe gives 1t a twist by
the tail that causes it to turn a dozen SOM
ersaults. Then the pair will roll over and
over together. and the fishermen become
convulsed with laughter at the unusual
sight. OK "
The cat gets wet and covered with scales,
and possibly gets pricked several times with
the spines of the fish, tst seems to thor
almost dead from being out of its natural
element. Joe seems to Think it is all his do
ings, and that he haSsraally killed 1t in a
pitched battle. He then waits for another
fish from the deep and repeats the perform
ance rC-qr
The cat seems to have no other idea in
playing with the fishieeHcept sport, for 1t
never attempts to eat the larger ones, but
lives almost entirely ON the small fish that
are used for bait. IN 81

ENGLISH FOR THE WORLD,
Humanity Wants Muscular and
Growing Language.

From the Newark Daily Advertiser.
The final supremacy of English over all
the languages of the world was the subject
of one of the most interesting papers read
before the American Social Science Asso-
citation at its recent session at Saratoga
This is a question about which there can be
but one opinion. It's
That English carries With 1t elements of
vigor sufficient to enable it to outlive any
of the decadent tongues of Southern Eu-
rope is an apparent fact
From the beginning Of the fourteenth GEN.
fury, when the Saxon-Danish of the hardy
peasantry slowly strangled, on its own
ground, the masculate Norman-French, II
was the virility of the Saxon tongue-low-
German patois, asl IT. was-which tri-
umphed, just as the Saxon people who
spoke 1t. through long years of bondage,
fostered the spirit which afterward gave
world.
There can be no question as to the gen.
eral utility of English. 1t is Macaulay who
says that the Anglo-SaXon is the tongue
best suited to make love, to quarrel, and to
drive bargains. General experience seems
to show that, when man is not doing one
of these three things, he Is very apt to be
asleep-or dead.
There certainly must be a universal Ian
miscegenation makes of the varied races of
mankind one vast people. Commerce and
quick communication demand 1t.
What shall this language be? The great
est of the eastern languages are welded to
ignorance and paganism, and will die with
them. Latin is a dead tongue in a mummy
skin; italian is its wrath. German is too
elephantine, French too mincing. Were
Russian spoken wherever the black twin
eagles float, the Anglo-SaXon might. in the
Slavonic, meet its only formidable rival.
No artificial gibberish will fetch and carry
for the world. Volapuk, that dialetic buga-
boo, died because II had no virility. 1t did
not develop: it was conceived Of book
worm and pieced together of odds and ends
in the vocabulary shop Of an intellectual
Frankenstein. 1t was like the laboratory
wheat, which seems to taste well, but won t
grow If you water 1t a thousand years.
The world wants no infant and no dotard.
1t wants live. muscular, growing Ian
guage. and English is that language. 1t
girdles the globe today, and is fast bind
ing link by link, the great civilizing eie-
ments of society into one vast, emalga-
mated whole.

FOOD AND GENIUS.
The Most Popular Novelists Dine Muc.
Like Ordinary Folks.
G.

The Most Popular Novelists Dine Much
Like Ordinary Folks.
From the Saturday Review.
II IL extremely improbable that renius
derives any peculiarly appropriate nutri-
ment from fish diet. and IT is certain that
genius gives no thought to the subject.
Mr.. Carlyle and Lord Tcnnyson smoked
pipes-because they were men enough to
smoke pioes-but We do not suppose that
cigarettes would have made a decadent of
Mr. Carlyle or an ''impressionist" Of Sir
Joshua Reynolds. The style and character
OF Dr. johnson remained the same, whether
he drank lemonade and tea or port and
punch.
Old Satchells boldly AYERS that brandy
makes the poet, but his poetry would have
nad the same complexion had he regalei
MS muse with whisky. On champagne and
ortolans Burns would have written neither
better nor worse than on collops and teddy.
In another field Of excellence il is likely
that to smoke a pipe and drink a glass of
beer would not add or subtract a couple Of
strokes from Taylors usual round on the
links. 1t was not because of his great ap-
petite for beef that Sir Andrew Aguecheek
fell below a lofty intellectual standard We
DO not know whether Shakespeare had any
favorite dish
About ThacSeray's and Johrson's favorite
dishes. we know a great deal, but are
Ehychologically none the wiser. Apprecia-
ton of cockyleeky does not account for the
statesmanlike qualities or defects of James
vi. " Whatever MIR. Gladstone's fayorite food
may be II is probably none of the rough
and-ready dainties celebrated by Homer,
and it is not to be thought that he takes
grated cheese in his claret. like Nestor. In
short, food and genius have nothing to do
with each other, and the most popular nov
elsts are not to be distinguished at dinner
time from mere critics.

The Fate of an Anti-Mnrrying Club in
the Nutmeg State.


From the New York Sun.
A short time ago-remarkably short it
was, too--eight prominent young men Of
the queer city of Derby, Conn. resolved to
foreswear female society forever, 50 they or
ganized themselves into an withdrawing
Club They hired hall and appointed one
of their number president, who was off,
cially known as 1.-THE Mogul." According to
the constitution and bylaws of the club the
members were forbidden to walk OH the
street with young woman or escort a
single lady to any place of entertainment;
and 1t ran along beautifully for just thirty
six hours. Then, all of a sudden, 1t came
to pass that it's constitution and bylaws
disagreed violently with the constitution
and bylaws of the members.
There was a band concert at Ansonia the
other night, and not less than three promi-
nent members of the Anti-Marrying Club
sneaked off to it, Worse yet, on the trip
home to Derby they engaged in a perfectly
desperate Irritation with a whole car load
of pretty Derby girls Their reckless act Of
treason was revealed publicly almost as
soon as the guilty men reached Derby, and
the club was dissolved almost as speedily
as a quart of mountain dew" among Nut
meg National Guardsmen at Camp Bradley,
Mantle The club abandoned It's rooms I'M
mediately The Derby folks are having
more fun than a goat at the expense Of the
members

GHOSTS OF IMAGINATION.
Spccters That Are the Offspring of "a
DlsOrdercd Mind.

From the Pittsburg Dispatch.
To many persons at some time and t.
some persons several times come appari-
tions that are considered out of the usual.
or scientifically unexplainable and are thus
reiegated to the domain of the supernatural
1t may be well 10 admit that the. ocular
sense sometimes sees these spectral appear
ances.
But IL does not follow that they are not
one and all explainable on other hypothesis
than as wanderers from the mysterious
ghostly shores. reconveyed by Charon on
his return trip across the Stygian tide, to
inspire the timid with fear and terror with
cut substantial consequences.
OF ell the tens OF millions of mental ma
chines that are running at all stages and IN
all conditions, 1t Is not supposable that they
can all be run with such precision as not
some time or other to be subject TO abusive
action in their workings.
what peculiar phantasmagoria often
comes in sickness and what is known as
delirium tremens, weird and horrid mental
pictures that present themselves to the
wakeful brain. but which is Involuntary
ratiocination although produced by abnor-
NAL physit n brain conditions.
IL Is more than probable that much of
what is known as phantasms is of this char
acter-a temporary touch Of unconscious
mental arrangement.
Those are wonderfully peculiar and iilu-
dreams. nd yet they are closely allied with
the occasional wakeful specters, lacking
only the intensity necessary to be projected
on the vision of wakefulness. But another
order OF spectral apparitions may be of al
together another character.
1t Is just possible that the seemingly spec-
tral form Is the result in a small way. of
what Is known as a mirage as much and as
clearly SO as the Fata Morgaua often seen
IN Italy, and other mirages often seen else
where.
These are real and veritable Illusions. VET
a little study enables us to trace out that
tney are reflections, although objects are
sometimes represented of whose existence
We know nothing
The reflection In q mirror so faithful IN
every minute detail. is of an illusory nature
out the cause and the effect being both
near End closely related, we Understand
the phenomenon which then occasions no
surprise. ~
What else could these apparitions be than
what on these and other similar grounds Is
expiainable: The forms alleged to have
been seen are as well animal as human
sometimes neither, and too grotesoue TO al
low OF mental reproduction i'm describing
The image In the mirror can make nan
tomlme, but IL can make no voice: II cam
not utter sound. Being only an apnari
tion and not real tangible entity its scona
Is mus restricted, and the spectral ,nnari-
ton is invariably lacking in intelIigenca
becarse 1t is only the mira ge-only the sa,,,
biance OF something
