The late revival must be accepted as a
fad, tor we are a nation Of fads and fam

the Captive Of st. Helena expiring upon

intensified his wonderful career and
placed fresh halo Of martyrdom round
an over ambitious hero, and caused us to
bury his faults and Gins in far distant
grave while his deeds are eulogiz'd.
Shakespeare said, "The evil men do,
lives after them, the good, is oft inferred
with their bones" We are striving TO
reverse the adage as regards the first
Consul whose own personal household
was divided against him. AS l have
said before he had colossal side, and as
many others, an ignoble one, but he was
extraordinary we all know. Josephine
made the alliance with view to emolu-
ment. She preferred the gayeties OF a
Partisan city to his Egyptian tent and
reaped her reward. Then, as now, we
find Gods laws must be obeyed or the
penalty paid. We find home lesson in
all historical facts if we will accept them.

the United States-143 De-

NOMINATIONS.
WASHINGTON, ID. c., June 27.-The
census report covering the statistics OF
churches, which has just come from the
press, contains some interesting facts
1t is an elab rate work cf IN IRE than 800
pages, with colored maps showing the
extent OF the various organized religious
bodies in the various States.
There are lab distinct denominations
in the United States, besides indrpen-
dent churches and miscellaneous con-
gregations. The total communicates Of
all denominations is 20,6l2, SOC, who be-

100000; Baptist, 3,725,OOO; Presbyter-
ian, ,2SO, 332; Lutheran, 100000 Pro-
testant Episcopal, $4,000.
A study OF the details Of the statistics
develop some apparently strange results
Out OF total OF 10000 Jewish commun-
icants, the refo, med exceed the orthodox
by $1,000. There are 1850 Russian
orthodox, 100 Greek orthodox and TO-
$50 Greek Catholics.

Kentucky Democrats have done in con-

silver platform Of 1892 and 10 TO can
'didate for the governorship, the battle as
far as this years campaign is concerned
has ended within the party and must
now be turned against the Republican
enemy.
Moderation and party wisdom have
been uppermost in spite OF the excite
ment of the Convention An able elo-
Cquent and popular candidate has been
nominated. In the personal attributes
which qualify an aspirant for the high
office, General Hardin is rich. His
strength OF character and public devo-
ton have been many times proved in
the sight of all Kentucky.
A false issue was raised, but the re-
sulting damage has been mended as far
as timely exertion Of good sense at the
critical point could be useful. The Dem
ocratic campaign in Kentucky opens
well and If the regular majority appears
in November the party in all the West
and South will be benefited by the prac-
teal demonstration of Democracy's en-
tire capacity to admit differences within
its ranks without losing the strength
necessary to hold its own against the at
tacks of Shermanism and McKinleyism.

Wisdom in The End.

Kentucky Democrats, having unwisely
permitted false issue to be raised, took
the road OF wisdom out of the trouble by
nominating Hardin. The Nomination
and the nominees frank acceptance
demonstrated the ability OF the Demo
Gratis ofthat State to stand together and
proved that the fundamental principles
OF the party are broad enough and en-
during enough to hold all the Democ-
racy of America.
Clay, the defeated candidate, pledged
his hearty support to Hardin. Lindsay
and McCreary, the leaders Of the yictori-
GUS element in the Convention, joined
in the pledge OF active work for the
ticket through the campaign.
The administration forces might have
gone to the extreme OF setting up a can
didate against Hardin in the Convention
and forcing their advantage in favor Of
one of themselves. 1t is not worth while
to discuss whether they could have taken
the nomination from him. They could
certainly, by following the impulse Of
blind factiousness, have made bitter
and close fight and could lave widened
a party breach which seemed TO exist
when the Convention opened. The
regard for party welfare which they d. :
played in not interfering with Hardin's
candidacy furnishes a shining example
for the instruction OF all Democrats in
the next twelve months.
Hardin and his friends earned Demo
cratic praise in the same way. They
accepted the decision OF the maj ,rity ON
the platform and neither bolted nor
threatened bolt.

RESPONSIBLE
Are Parents For Damage Done By
Children in Handling Fireworks
An Interesting Case.

AS the Fourth OF July is near at hand
and the youngsters have already begun
to invest their pennies for fireworks 1t is
peculiarly appropriate that there should
be settlement OF a case in the Probate
Court yesterday which had its origin in
a Fourth OF July accident.
On that particular festive day men
toned in 1883 a minor son Of Michael
Hester, a Galoon keeper at Court and
Linn streets, was celebrating the occasion
with a display OF fireworks. Among
other articles Of the hind he had some
rockets. One OF these was not adjusted
properly, and on being discharged flew
into a window where Mr.. John Cameron
sat. 1t struck him on the head and in
flcted an injury that proved fatal. His
administrator sued the father OF young
Hester for damages.
The case was tried three times before
a jury, Was argued three times on ques.
tons of law in the general term OF the
Superior Court aud twice in the Supreme
Court, and came back finally for judg-
ment in favor Of the plaintiff. The case
even got into the Kentucky Courts on
the final judgment to set aside transfers
OF real estate made by the elder Holster
That property was sold. and altogether
the firing Of the rocket by his son cost
Mr.. Hester about 5000.
In the settlement and distribution yes
terday the widow Of the man killed got
about 81, 700. Ills case establishes the
principle that parents are responsible
for injuries and damage that may be
done by the act OF their child In the use
OF fireworks. There ia much OF such
damage done, and parents are apt TO
look out for what their children do with
fireworks when they learn OF this case.-

West virginians After Green Goods.

Detectives in Washington City last
Thursday arrested A.P. Hill, of Tucker
county, W. Va, and John H. Hick-
man, of Pennsylvania, and Ira A.
Greathouse, county commissioner Of
Braxton county, W. Va, conducting
business at Hyar, in that county, and
John Wheeler, an athlete, Of that vii
lage. The arrest was nominally on
the charge of carrying concealed weap-
ons, but it was well understood by the
police that some developments would
be made relative to green goods. Mr..
Greathouse said that green goods
circulars had been received at Hyar
offering $1,000 for $500, He had
understood that the dealers IN the
green goods always exhibited at first
to the purchasing greenhorns genuine
money, and by trick substituted
blank paper for the paper. money as
soon as they had received the price.
He determined to beat them at their
own game and secure the genuine
money, $1,000 for $500. According
ly he replied to the green goods clrcu-
lar, which came from Scranton, Pa,
and arranged to buy the goods IN
Washington. He brought with him
Wheeler, the athlete Of the county,
and it was agreed that when the gen.
uine $1,000 was exhibited Wheeler
should at once take it in charge and
hold it by force, and in this way turn
the tables and expose the green goods
men. The Slater House was selected
as the lodgings of the West Virginias,
but before the arrival of the green
goods, Wheeler became intoxicated.
The detectives were led to suspect
some criminal proceedings, and as the
parties were armed arrested all Of
them for carrying concealed weapons.
Greathouse and Wheeler were released
on $3.50 collateral Friday afternoon
and Hill and Hickman were photo
graphed as "crooks" and sent to Jail.
Tuesday the whole party were ar,
raigned in court. Hickman, Wheeler
and Greathouse were sentenced to t
months in jail for carrying concealed
weapons, and Hill was acquitted
Judge Miller severely rebuked the jury
for its verdict and ordered Hill anC
Hickman to be committed for trial Oh
the charge of conspiracy.

Perhaps you would not think so,
but a very large proportion of diseases
in New York comes from carelessness
about catching cold, says DR.. Cyrus
Edison. 1T is such a simple thing
and so common that very few people,
unless it is case of pneumonia, pay
any attention to cold. There are a
great many cases of catarrh and con-
sumption which have their origin in
this neglect of the simplest precaution
of every day life. The most sensible
advice is, when you have one get rid
of it as soon as possible. By all means
do not neglect it" DR.. Edison does
not tell you how to cure cold but we
will. Take Chamberlain S Cough Rem

THERE'S a great howl made by the
Italian embassy at Washington because
of the lynching of FIVE Italian murder
ers in Colorado last week, and the
usual demand is made for an indemni-
ty from the United States. We hope
the government will pointedly refuse
to grant any such demand. There
are entirely too many crimes commit
ted in this country by the murderers
and thugs who come here for Italy
and lynch law is the only remedy In
some cases. How would the Italian
government treat Americans if they
went to that country and committed
the atrocious crimes that the foreigners
commit here? They would get short
shrift, certainly. The cold-blooded
murders by Italians in New Orleans a
few years ago, and the swift punish
ment by lynch law when other means
failed, are matters of history, and the
people justified the uprising. The
Colorado murder called for similar
treatment, and the cutthroats got only
what they deserved. If the Italian
government doesn't like it let it lump
