Among the peculiarities Of Ken
lucky at this juncture in her af-
fairs may be mentioned the cry for
water that arises all over that state.
There may be no visible connec-
ton between this fact and the I'M
usual promise of republican vic
tory there is in the political atmos-
phere, but it is significant. When
the cry for water becomes general
and insistent, then look out for re-
publican victory.

Almost One-fourth of the pig
iron now produced in the United
States is turned out Of the south
ern furnaces. This tells the story
of what the south is accomplishing
in the strides she makes to over
haul the industrial north. How
many years is it since no pig was
produced on southern soil, except
what ran loose in the woods to
thrive and fatten on mast, and
now watch the figures.

ARBITRATE OR FIGHT.

AS was to have been expected,
Secretary Olney is not backed by
the administration at Washington
in his insistance of the right of
Venezuela to have tho vexed ques-
ton of boundary settled by arbi-
tration. There is a split in the
cabinet over the situation and it
may lead to such rupture as will
disintegrste that body. That Oh
ney has the sentiment of the coun-
try behind him is not to be de.
MED, and his position is warmly
endorsed in all quarters. The con-
tention is not that Venezuela is
to be sustained, right or wrong, nor
that she is right, but that the
boundary question is in fair dis
pute, that so long as this is so
Great Britain cannot resort to
force of arms to compel Venezuela
to her terms, as the Monroe doc
trine insists that no foreign mon
archy shall acquire territory on
the American continent by force Of
arms. That Venezuela is entitled
to the boundary line set out by
Spain when she disposed of the
territory is the contention, and un-
til that boundary Is settled it Is
argued that Great Britain can
claim nothing by force Of arms.
Her right to use force to maintain
her own undisputed territories Is
accepted, but not her right to
maintain claim to territory dis
puted fairly as to the rightful own
ership. What Cleveland and his
cabinet will do is of course uncer-
tain, but it would astonish
the whole American people
to see him adopt a policy in
any way antagonistlc TO the usur-
pations or exactions of Great Bri-
tain. That the people of this
country are ready to sustain the
and unwritten law of the
in so far as the forceful
Of territory on Ameri-
can soil is concerned, is seen in
every declaration on this subject.
Patriotism in America Is not sur

ment and the southern states, and

of that feeling In main

Shermau's new book is more
than a three days wonder. 1t is
provoking much and varied COM
ment in all circles, and naturally
most in those nearest politically to
the distinguished author. Treas

ward in coming forward to speak
his little piece, and in doing it he
has not spared the feelings Of his

suppressing himself for their bene-

way of personal gossip since the
last congress adjourned for the re.

Cleverton-What did you do?
Dashaway-Oh, l gently lowered her
head, stepped into the hall and got some
water, and then, after dashing some on
her face, l waited. Old fellow, it was a
thrilling moment, l can tell you, to stand
there in the presence of such tr~anscendent
loneliness, her pure white face upturned
to mine, helpless for the time being.
Cleverton-I suppose you felt just like
kissing her.

that sort came into my mind, but l ban
ished it at once as being unworthy of me.
Thank heaven, I am too much of a gen

Inore cowardly. And so, as I gazed into
that beautiful face, it made me so glad to
think hat it was 1 who was there to pro
tect her and not some other fellow, who
might have presumed upon her helpless

When the Stevensons lived at Can

acquaintance there, One day they
went to call. They we're met outside
the door by a very small dog with a
very large bark. The dog planted

Nh. Stevenson heard the noise and
came to the rescue. When the visit
ors were seated, the dog placed him
self in front of them and barked so
loud that conversation became i'm
possible. The husband and wife look

finally Mr.. Stevenson carried the dog
from the room. 1t was only to the
next room, however. The dog put
his nose to the crack of the door and
barked as loud as before. Converse

by microbes are capablcof setting up

pend, first, upon the integrity Of the

These considerations suggest at

toxic substances generated in their

SOMETHING NEW.
Testimonial to Customers

Our popular grocer, Mr.. O. c.
Pierce intends showing his apprecia'
ton of his customers by presenting
those who deal to few dollars extent
a valuable and appropriate gift, hand
some, as useful as it ornamental.
The plan is to give a ticket for
each ten cents worth of goods bought,
when the tickets amount to sum
fixed and advertised, the gift will be
presented,
Thus-For $3.50 tickets a gold AL
umnian Tea Spoon; SO, gold Alum
nian orange spoon and so on. Fifty
dollars in coupons secures a child's
Mug, engraved.
This new meta. is approved by the
government and by the highest au-
thorites in art and cultivated taste. 1t
has the appearance OF gold, is as light
as Alumnian, and when sold in cook
ing and table use is as easily cleaned
as Sterling Silver.
Samples of these gifts may be seen
at Mr.. Pierce's store now. The plan
of presenting his customers with a
ticket for every purchase is pleasant
and happy way of keeping up an ac
quantance between the merchant and
his customers, and we hopeMr. Pierce
and his many patrons will make each
other happy, and the business rela-
tionship closer and continuous.
