Knee Cut.

John w. Steenbergen, Esq, of
GaIlipolis Ferry, met with pain
ful and serious accident last Mon.
day. He was in a field superin-
tending cutting up corn, when he
stepped on piece of timber, caus-
ing it to fly up at one end, striking
his knee very forcibly, and cutting
an ugly deep cash about two inches
long, necessitating the surgeon
called to take five stitches to close
the wound. There is danger of the

result of the wound,

NJ. M. Withrow, who was con-
victed of murder in the second de-
gree, at the recent term of the Put
nam Circuit Court, will apply for a
writ of error. 1t will be remember
ed that Withrow was charged with
killing a man by the name eff spicer
Higginbotham, some time in Octo-
Der, 1893, and in a sudden quarrel,
Higginbotham having a few days
before used opprobrus language
concerning the wife of Withrow and
in her presence. This is one OF
of those cases wherein a man has
been convicted, though no evidence
of malice was shown. Murder in
the first degree was claimed and de
manded by the State, but the jury
would not infict such a severe
penalty.

Parents should see that their
children are kept off the streets at

the practice of jumping on and off

1t is a well known principle of
the law that no person can sell,
give or furnish any intoxicatns to
another without having a State
license therefor. And the fact of a
person thus handling hard cider
brings him directly within the pur-
view of that law. Therefore now,
look out all you who are handling
hard cider, that you are not over
taken by the law. 1t is swift and
our officers are bound to execute it.
Hard cider will make man drunker
than whiskey, and is causing far
more trouble than the saloon. We
say again, look out who handle it
without bond or license, look out,
and as we'll as those who use it.

Abusing witnesses.


The Supreme Court of Pennsyl-
vania, by a decision Of Justice
Green, in the case oi Holden VS..
Pennsylvania Railroad Company,
unanimously decided that the abuse
and insult of witnesses by counsel,
or the abuse of witnesses or litigants
in arguments to the jury, furnish
legal ground for an exception on
the record to be reviewed by the
Supreme Court. In this case, also,
the Court not only sustained the
the exception as based on good
legal grounds, but reversed the
judgment of the Court below dis
tinctly on the grounds therein stat
ed. This decision is a good one, as
the custom heretofore, in many
Courts, has been to allow the wit,
nesses to be abused by the counsel
in way not BETTING to common
decency, One would often think
that the witness was on trial in
stead of the prisoner or litigant.
Jas. E. Campbell, the Democratic
nominee for Governor of the State of
Ohio, made his opening speech ofthe
campaign at Columbus on last Satur-
day night and his effort was a mag
nifcent, powerful and mastery ar
raign of the Gang that are attempt
ing to control the Republican poll
tics of Ohio. That Mckinley has
been failure as Governor of the
great State of Ohio was ably and ir-
refutably demonstrated. There is
demand for James E. Campbell, a
brave union soldier, quiet thought
full man, patriotic liberty loving
American citizen, a friend OF the
toiling millions, "a Statesman and
brilliant orator that will not only
make him Governor of the State of
Ohio but will put the mantle of the
President of these United States
about him in 1896.
Every one who has the charge of
youth should see not only that they
are protected from what is evil, but
that they are surrounded by what is
good, and be careful not only to pre-
serve them from the malaria OF vice,
but to place them in the pure and
brazing atmosphere of high thoughts
and noble ideas and worthy deeds.
There are two influences ever press
ing upon them; the one is direct,
voluntary, intentional-the other,
indirect involuntary, unpremedita-
ted. The former all conscientious
persons endeavor to exercise; the
latter because, like the atmosphere,
it eludes our direct grasp, is often
neglected and forgotten.
The hospitable home of Mr., and
Mrs. Jas. II. Couch, Jr., in West

We hear that Governor James Z.
Campbell is to speak at Gallipolis,
Ohio, on Saturday October 18th.
If this is so we would like to be ad-
vised right soon, because our peo-
pie will prepare to turn out enmasse
and give him splendid recep-
tion. The funny part of the cam
paign in Ohio this year is that
James E. Campbell was a Union
soldier fighting in the ranks and
claiming no title, but Asa S. Bush
nell, the Republican candidate for
Governor, and who they call "Gen-
eral" was high private in the rear
rank, and never knew the difference
between a musket and a pop gun.

The Monroe doctrine has been a
good bluff for many decades. Dur
ing that time no one has had very
definite idea as to the limits and
boundaries and extent of the same.
There is probable chance that the
bluff will be called one of these days,
and the position of the United
States relative to this matter will
have to b defined so that there
shall be no ambiguity about the
same. 1t may cost us something to
maintain the position we have
claimed in that direction, but we
must either do so, or become the
laughing stock of the diplomatic
world.

1t is understood that President
Cleveland will give Spain ninety
days longer in which to suppress
the Cuban rebellion. AT the end of
that time, if it is still vigorous, this
government will take decided steps
to put an end to hostilities in the
interests of humanity. American
interests in Cuba have been severe
ly injured by the belligerents, and
it is time such active steps were ia
ken as will give the Cubans an op-
portunity for self.government The
cruelty and oppression of Spain to
Cubans is blot upon the civiliza-
ton of the nineteenth century.

Political bosses are a stencil in the

their own advancement and attempt
to drown the aspirations of all who
come in their way. as an illustra-
ton of this, let us point to the Re,
publieans of the great State of New
York, who are attempting to palm
off on her people Blue Laws more
odious, obnoxious and liberty de-
stroying than those that were i'm
posed apon this country over a

woMANs ATTITUDE TOWARDS
WOMAN

IL II a noticeable and depIorable fact
that women, a. rule, are not charit-
abls towards each other. Let one lead
In an Innovation OF any nature what
ever and her motives are questioned In
any but a kindly manner, and she
Is subjected to sllghts,suesrs and stares
Why is this7 Are they distrustful Of
other women because they know their
Cwn hearts so we'll, or do these feelings
arise from an enyIous and Jealous dis
position It were indeed lamentable
II the former be the reason and pltiable
ifthe latter.
1t IL difficult to believe that 80 many
are actuated to deeds Of unkinJness
through Judging others by them
selyes," for surely 80 many
hearts do not contain wlckedness.
Then II must be that they are prompted
by envy and Jealousy. A Jealous ma.
ture ls necessarily selfish one. 10.
finitely better for themselves and much
pleasanter for others 1t would be did
they set themselves aside, and ex-
tend towards others kindness which
would sweeten their own natures, rem
dsrlng them happier, aud smooth the
difficult path Of their sister women.
II is indeed blessing that all women
are not selfish. There are those, aud
they are not few, who have loving
faith In Others and instead Of seeking
to deter aud discourage, try, by their
kindness aud courtesy, to render dihi
culties easier Of accomplishment for
those who have undertaken to achieve
a certain object, and when at last cue
Dsss ls attained they are generous and |
hearty In expressing approval ald ad-
