Gov. Stone is perfectly safe in deny
ing that hell is full of democrats. He
knows that no republicans go there, so
that count is impossible except by
democrats who are interested in
making returns favorable to their
party. But he is not so safe in deny
ing that the Penitentiary is peopled
very largely by democrats. A record

The disgraceful condition of things
in South Carolina is another illustra-
ton of the logical effect of Populism
In every State where that form of
political lunacy has obtained controll-
ing power, there has been an expert
ence of disorder, of violence, of threat
ened anarchy. It WAS 30 in Kansas,
and later in Colorado. and now we
have another striking example In an
other section of the country, thus
showing that the cause of such out
breaks is not local or accidental, bot
peculiar to the doctrines and methods
of the Populists wherever they are
rigidly applied. The simple fact is
that Populism represents a drift of
thought and feeling that il antagonis-
tic to existing institutions. 1t results
In violence because It IL inconsistent
with accepted ideas of public safety
and prudence and with established
agencies for the conservation and pro-
motion of the peace aud welfare of
society. The men whom IL has de-
veloped as leaders are eccentric, reck-
less and irresponsible. They seem to
think that IL IL their mission to create
as much confusion and excitement as
possible. and to use oflcial authority
in the most arbitrary and astonishing
manner. II one of them has ever In
any contingency manifested an ordi-
nary degree of good sense, the country
has certainly not heard of IL. nor ia
there any reason TO believe that they
are capable Of such service. -@. Louis

Col. Ingersoll v. 9. the Democrat
Party.

Col Robert Ingersoll may be UNI
sound theologicalIy. but his political
expressions are worthy of careful at
tention. On one occasion, while max.
ing speech, man 10 the crowd
yelled out: What is the matter with
the democratic partyr Ingersoll
dropped his line o: argument, turned
towards his interrogation, and replied
as follows:
What is the matter with the demo-
cratic party? I will tell you, INV
friend. The democratic party was
born under the planets that were in
opposition. It lives in the objective
case, Like mule, it has no pride of
ancestry; no hope of posterity.' It
never originates anything. It shines
by borrowed light. It has never been
united in honest wedlock, but lived for
years In open adultery with harlot
called slavery; lived with her until she
died of corruption. and was buried
amid the sobs and groans of her para
mour.
1.-THE atmosphere that surrounds
democracy is full of obnoxious vapors
that breed moral pestilence and death.
The sun never shines through It; vice
seeks its shadow, and corruption grows
lusty under its influence. Springs of
purity are never found in democracy
Its waters are torpid. lifeless-covered
with scum with which stagnant pools
and moveless waters always offend the
eye of man.. The soil that democracy
has cultivated has failed to yield har-
vests of value to the nation, but has
given crops of worthless weeds and
briars.
Democracy has no love of country !;
believes In states instead of nation;
drives loyalty from its door and wei.
comes treason to its habitation;
holds the deeds of our soldiers and
sailors at naught; strives to blacken
the names of our heroes; weeps over
the lost cause; hates the blue and
loves the gray; stabs loyalty in the
back; binds up the wounds of treason,
and speaks words Of hope and comfort
to Its devotees; applauds when help
less blacks are stricken down In the
South, and caresses the hands red with
innocent blood; denies the rights of
American citizens to make homes for
themselves in the south; justIfies the
man who shoots them down or drives
them out.
Democracy lie curse to the land,
the source of our bitterest woes; the
haven where vice finds friends and
crime its apologists and defenders.
Democracy Is original sin let loose to
rend and destroy; IL the spirit of evil
filling the swine of the land; the in
carnation of unholiness; the child Of
the devil; its home should be Ia that
outer darkness where there il weeping
and wailing and gnashing of teeth.

OF course everyone knows just how Bill
Nye looks, having seen his pictures in the
newspapers. Nevertheless, folks turned
out in abundance, last evening, consider
ing that it showed before the entertainment
was at an end. Mr.. Nye didn't quite come
up to the creations of his staff artist, al
IL ough the footli ghts had something to do
with it, no doubt. Those who have read
his writings and laughed and been very
glad to repeat the performance, met with a
similar fate at his hands, in person, as it
were, last evening.
After seeing the man and enjoy
ing his mannerisms once, there is per-
haps little greater pleasure to be had in lis
tening to him in most of his numbers than
may be enjoyed in reading his writings
His rendering of the sixth number on the
programme, the story of George meeting
his shipwrecked father. was especially good.
So was his version of the story told by the
man who never could tell story. This was
given in response to encore. Mr.. Nye was
heartily applauded, and as matter Of fact
everybody laughed heartily.

E,nlosive. rhnt r1ust be shocked

Some explosives, such as dynamite,
nitroglycerol, gun cotton, picric acid
and the new German military powder,
when simply heated, burn quietly If
freely exposed, or, if confined, explode
only at the spot where heat is applied,
without the whole mass taking part in
the explosion. According to H. Blitz,
this is probably because they are bad
conductors of their own explosive wave.
If, however, the same substances are
subjected TO violent shock by the ex-
plosion in their midst of initial charges
of mercury illuminate, the shock appar-
emily affects all the molecules of the ex-
plosive at once, and the whole mass Of
the latter explodes with a violence that
is enormous and destructive.-Journal

A Troublesome Word.

How much better it would be if the
past tense of the verb read could be
changed to red. The verb read would
then form the past tense (red) analogous
ly with the verb lead, and that tense,
as in the case of led, would then ba
spelled as it is pronounced, red. When
person is reading aloud and comes to
the word read, he is often unable to tell
whether it should be pronounced reed
or red and after mispronouncing it read
when it should be pronounced red, or
vice versa, he is obliged, after getting
into the midst of sentence, to go back
and set himself right. Take, for exam
pie, the following sentence, and nobody
can tell, when he reaches the word read,
whether it is to be pronounced reed or
red: "Those who read Sir Walter Scott S
novel of Edward Waverley' when it
first appeared did not know by whom it
was written" In this example read is
to be pronounced red, but nobody would
know this till reaching a subsequent
part of the sentence, and the reader is
just as apt to mispronounce it reed as
to give it the correct pronunciation of
red. In the sentence given as an ex-
ample the reader learns soon after pass
ing the word read how it should be pro-
nounced, but in many cases one has to
proceed quite distance after reaching
the word before the context shows how
it should pronounced. d.-Boston Tran

Tungsten,

The fact is we'll known that mix
ture of tungsten with steel imparts to
the latter SO great degree of hardness
that it readily scratches glass and
quartz. Recent Investigations have
thrown light upon this somewhat re-
markable phenomenon-that is, def
initely crystallized compound of iron
and tungsten is announced as having
lately been discovered, the crystals be-
ing so hard as to be capable of scratch
ing topaz. Tungsten is a brittle white
metal, almost as heavy as gold, and the
crystals formed by its combination with
iron, in the proportion Of one atom OF
iron to two of tungsten, are silver gray
and very brilliant. The conclusion ar
rived at by experts in this line is that,
on tungsten being alloyed with steel,
some of the compound just described is
formed in the mass, thereby producing
the remarkable increase in the hardness
of steel and adding to its usefulness. -
