They are trying to inaugurate a sys.
tenn in Lawrence county by which each
aspirant for nomination shall publicly
and emphatically pledge his honor as a
man that he will not use cent OF money
or other thing of value to secure his
success. That's good idea. We don't
know, however, but it would be better
to gather up all aspirants for nomination
and all candidates who have been nom.
mated and dump them down by the
ship load on some lone island in the
distant oceans. Then shut off all com
munication until the people have had a
chance to express their unmolested
choice. On general principles a candi
date is nuisance, only fit to be prac
ticed on with shot guns and bull dogs
There ought to be some way to suppress
him. A long suffering public will some
day resort to desperate means to relieve
itself of this annual affliction. Clubs
and sich will then be trumps.

An average of five feet of water is es-
timated to fall annually over the whole
of the earth's surface. Assuming that
condensation takes place at an average
height Of 8, 900 feet, the force Of evapo-
ration necessary to supply moisture for
such a prodigious rainfall must be equal
to the lifting of S22, 900, 900 pounds of
water 5000 feet every minute, day and
night, during the entire year. To supply
this enormous amount of moisture a
stratum Of the entire ocean surface Of
the globe not less than ~ feet thick
must be taken up by the clouds and re-
turned to earth once each 365 days.

No one who has lived within the last
decade will ever forget, though he lives
for century, the Democratic howl that
went up about trusts, under Republi.
can administration. Partly because of
this howl, the Democracy were given
full and absolute control of the entire
government. Did they signalize their
victory by smashing the trusts Has
anybody heard the crash or swept away
the pieces of the Standard Oil, the wheat,
the beef, the coal, the sugar, the whisky,
the Wall Street, or any other combine
Please let us know. 1t has transpired,
however, that many of these combines
contributed largely of their funds to in.
sure Democratic success. In the light
of this fact, isn't it probable that they
had previous assurances that they would
not be disturbed? After the Democrats
secured control, who owned the Senate,
the trusts or the people? Is it not a
fact patent to everybody that, never in
the history of the world, did unholy and
unscrupulous moneyed combinations
have such power and exhibit such eff.
frontery as now? In the midst OF Fl.
nancial depression and hard times
among the people they rush up the
prices sky high on the necessities of life,
and there is none in all the Democratic
ranks to say them nay, Is such party
worthy of your support?
