Q. and M. T. MAL0NEY. PUsIISaERs.

GOVERNOR CoFFIN's message is a volumi- nous document. devoted mainly to & re- exploitation of reports of the different state institutions. The recommendations are few, and such an important matter as constitution al reform is carefully avoided. The peo- pie expected something original, 30 much had been said about the individuality of Governor Cofiu, but when boiled down there is hardly anything left in the mes- sage. There is too much beating around the bush and the governor would have commanded more attention and respect had he told in plain language just what the thought. and not kept people guessing. Governor Coffin is a conservative man. very. Evidently he believes discretion is the better port of vslor.

SOME FRENCH MAxIMs.

To translate book Ia to undress ideas.
 To talk loud and firmly Is to use the ar. guments of fools.
 Moral thoughts improve nobody. not even the person who writes them.
 A book of notes and impressions which does not contain contradictory ideas Is not Q sincere work.
 Lack of logic Is one of the conditions of charm. Martyrs lack irony, and this is an unpardonable fault, because without irony the world would be similar to a forest without birds. Irony is the gayety of re- dection and the joy of wisdom.-''F French Folly In Maxims." H. P. Du Bios.

 Notice the strength and powerful advice in the following letter. written by Mrs J. Wesley Mann. of Northfleld, Mass:
 About IS months ago my daughter Jennie went into a large store as clerk, and was obliged to make long days of about I4 hours, and the work proved too hard for her. She was completely run down, being prostrated by nervous debility. She had terrible restless nights. and was un- able to sleep hardly at all.

The mule whack CT was bearing down on him with terrifi, yells when out came his gun, up went his arm, and the pony fell dead in his tracks. shot in the center of the forehead. Befors Hughes could arise the colonel had him by the collar, and those present say that the man was so thoroughly licked in two minutes that there was no material left to work on. While he was crawling out of town, wiser but sadder man, Colonel Scott passed on to Sunday school, and nothing in his demeanor betrayed the fact that he had met with an adventure. It was thing beautifully and gracefully done, and the colonel is justly deserving of the many compliments bestowed.
 FAIR WARNING.-we do not know the owner of the old white mule which makes a regular business of parading our streets at night, but we give fair warning that the next time we come in collision with the beast somebody will be fatally injured. On at least ten different occasions this fall when we have been returning home from an evening call we have run slam bang against that old mules heels and been kicked. On three other occasions he has stampeded and run us down. Only last Saturday night, having missed us on the street, he backed up against the front door of THE KICKER office and made kin ding wood of it. It is undignifled for an editor to be pursued by a mule. It is de grading for the editor of a great family weekly to be obliged to climb barbed wiro fences and dodge into alleys to escape be- ing run over by $I0 animal. We have held of because we believed the mule to belong to some poor widow or fatherless child, but on the next occasion we shall stand on our dignity and pump 12 bullets into his body as fast us finger can pull trigger. The owner will please take notice and govern himself accordingly.

The barbecue given by the POM
lists OF Henderson county XIV. at
Corydon was in every way a success.
Hon. j. c. Sibley was the orator of
the day, but there were also others.
notably the Populist candidate for
Governor. The Henderson Cleaner
says: At length the Hon. Joseph c.
Sioley, arrived and begun his speech,
which lasted over two hours and
was almost unanimously pronounced
one OF the best ever delivered in Hen
derson county. Mr.. Sibley showed
such familiarity with national poll
tics; such lofty patriotic spirit.
such intimate knowledge of the f.
nanclal question as not only to CAP
tlvate the audience, but to create a
wonderful impression in favor of his
doctrine. His speech was certainly
one OF the most exhaustive and salts
factory speeches in favor of free sill
yer ever heard in this part of the
country. Hon. Thos. S. Petit ad-
dressed the audience for about two
hours during which time he discus-
sed national and State affairs, pr1n-
clpally the latter. He complained
that ne was not given an opportuni.
ty to participate in the joint debate
between Bradley and Hardin, (Rep

Famous Remark.
CONTINUED From First Page.


CONSERVING UNTO HIS DEATH:
Christianity is as free, and as blame
less of my accusation as Democracy is
immortal; but the Democratic party is
not immortal, and know of no period
when the church has been clear of sin
in either its rank and file or its leader
| ship. When the church is made sy-
nonomous with Christianity, it will
stand wholly on the
SIDE OF HUMAN FREEDOM.
The churchmen of that day will read
with amazement OF the things I'M
condemned. tolerated, and upheld by
the church of to-day. When will that
day come, do you ask? God alone knows.
But we may believe that happy and
peaceful evolution of humanity is in
the line of His eternal purposes con-
corning the race; and We may hope
that the church confessing its un-
Christly disregard of mans daily
needs until he is pauperized and I'M
manned, may be led on by the prog
ress of humanity
TO COMPREHEND IT'S DUTY
and enjoy the proud privilege of CO.
working with the eternal Father to
this beneficent end. "The church has
often, like the Priest and the Levite in
the parable, passed by on the other
side, and left wounded humanity to
the care of the hereto, while it hurried
on to the temple service at Jerusalem.
For that disregard of humanity in
pretended conservation to God, have
no words but of Indignation and con-
tempt.
In conclusion l desire to say that,
while did not expect at the time of
my speech to be called upon land |
have not been as yeti to establish the
position then taken and since censured
by the press, and while | am not
eager for controversy, l am none the
less willing to present to the public
such facts and arguments as have con-
WINGED me of the truthfulness of nv
statement. CYRUS THOMPSON
