Starring a Balky Horse.

An old white horse attached to an
emotv express wagon baked ag the
corner of Twenty-sixth street ana
Broadway the other day and for three
quarters of an hour successfully re-
sisted every attempt to make Alm
move on. The driver belabored him
with a whip, tugged at the reins
and yelled, but to no purpose. Then
crowd gathered and began to give
advice freely. One man seized the
horse by the ears, another grasped the
bride and began to pull, while two
or three others braced themselves
against the animals hindquarters and
tried TO push him forward. The crea-
ture didn't move foot. One wise
fellow blinded the@ horse with the
drivers coat, after which he declared
the animal would move right along,
but the plan was dismal failure. An
other insisted that if plug Of tobacco
were forced into the creatures mouth
he would be all right, saying which he
thrust big piece Of navy twist be-
tween the horses jaws. The stubborn
beast shook the dose from his mouth
: snd remained immovahle. Meanwhile
the crowd continued TO grow, and
every newcomber had plan Of his
own for solving the problem, which
by this time had efectually stopped
the movement of vehicles in Broad
way for two or three blocks in either
direction. The horse was apparently
there to stay The driver was in de-
spair. The four or five policemen who
had been drawn to the scene by the
gathering crowd looked sheepish and
puzzled. A lady who had watched the
scene from the window Of neighbor~
ing cafe, finally turned to the gentle
man accompanying her and said: &c
and start that horse. These men
never can do it. They don't under

quietly and hitch it to his bit ring.
Take the other end in your hand, speak
to the horse gently but firmly, and
lead him away" The gentleman went
out and borrowed hitching strap
from hackman, and the crowd jeered
him IS he approached the baking
horse. He attached the strap to the
bit ring as directed, patted the animal
kindly on the neck and took the cnd
of the halter in his hand. With woru
of command he started to lead the
way, and the horse followed as prompt.
ly and obediently as if that were ex-
actly what he had been waiting for all
the while! The crowd stood back in
wondermen5 and admiration. Some Of
the superstitious ones declared that the
animal had been hypnotized.

planned the little woman laughingly to
her friends as the gentleman rejoined
the party in the cafe. "Nith all
those half-witted men fooling around

Buck FRIzzEN

There We're never better oppOrtu-
mites in this country for industrious
men than are now to be found in
the Southern States. The Impress
ion that while men cannot work in
the South has been amply disprOv-
ed by hundreds OF Northern men
who have lived in the South for
years. That Northern men lost
some Of their energy may be true,
for they find a living can be made
so much easier than they were ac-
customed to, that they soon fell in
to line and do tomorrow what
should be done today. This is no
fault OF the South or the climate,
but is II serious fault with the man.
There are cheap farming lands in
all Of the southern States on which
an active man can quickly accumu-
late a modest fortune, where nature
has been most liberal in bestowing
all the blessings any reasonable
man could want. 1t is true that
the corn must he ground and the
potatoes worked, but excepting
these little Inconvenience, the
good Lord almost does it all. A
little muscle, small hoe, and big
bag Of seed. are nearly all man
needs TO get a good start.-lndus.

The Washington correspondent
Of the Eastern Kentucky Democrat
says:
The principles Of Jefferson and
jackson are eternal, and will not
die. They are born in the hearts
OF freemen. They represent all
that is good in republican govern
ment. They are the beacon lights
that point out the seething waters
OF the maelstrom OF corruption.
They call aloud for purity, justice
to all and equal rights, They may
be attacked by secret foes and open
enemies, but when the smoke OF
battle shall have vanished they
will be seen, mistaken in their
foundations. Mankind may be
weak, but the principles upon
which all that is good in il are
vested, are strong as the granite
hills. Incompetence will never
destroy, though itmay retard. The
disasters which have oyertaken the
country do not affect Democracy.
1t will relegate Improbable lead
ers to an Obscurity from which
they can never emerge. In their
stead, purer and better men will
spring up. They will bear its ban
ner to nobler triumphs. Death
can never be the portion of that
which ennobles. 1t will live and
grow brighter till time shall be no
more. The dark clouds, which be-
came intense last November, have
already begun to dissolve. The
thralldOm Of wrongis being thrown
aside. True men are weaving to-
gether the broken threads. The
voice OF a Hill is sound ding like a
clarion, calling the scattered sol
diery back to duty.
The firmness of the President is
inspiring confidence. The incubus
OF McKinleyism is being lifted.
A reform tariff is bearing good
fruit. While financial clouds are
lowering, they can net hide the
causes Of depression. A bankrupt
cd treasury is traced unerringly to
Republican handspring. The
country is beginning to think, The
assertions which caused an unpre.
cedented victory for the foes OF
Democracy are bearing the fruit
which all Enthusiastically institu.
tions ultimately meet. The battle Of
1896 has not been fought. The
reign of principle is again being
inaugurated. The result Of close
investigation does not cause a
tremor in the true followers of De-
mocracy. Fraud and corruption is
already being banded about. 1t is
following in the wake of recent Re-
publican successes. The little grain
Of mustard seed will grow into a
tree whose branches will disclose
the weakness OF the enemy.

lucky.

A review of the Democratic vote
in Kentucky since 1872 will be of
interest to both the candidates and
the voters. There are at least 4O0,-
600 voters in Kentucky, and about
225,0O0 of this number may be
safely counted in the Democratic
column. One half the vote of the
State is not polled at many elec.
tons. To bring out this vote there
must be local intrest in the can
didates. Candidates for State Off
ces do not usually bring out the
voters. In Presidential years The
largest vote has been polled in the
State. The largest vote ever poll
ed at State election was given in
the Presidential race in 1888 for
Cleveland and Harrison. Cleve-
land received 1S3,S00 votes and
Harrison received l55, 1875 votes a
total of 33S,934. This was the Ill.
den vote Of of 1876. Cleveland re-
ceived 175, 46l in 1892 and Harri-
son received 135,441 votes. Neither
candidate received SO high a vote as
was cast in the election four years
previous.
In the election for Congress in
1894 the Democratic candidates
received l60,550 votes, and the Re.
publican candidates received 153,,
$50 votes, This produced ms.
iority Of only 6,9SS for the Demo
