Federal ohiceholders, but the Federal officeholders have apparent ly fallen into state of "innocuous desuetHde Not q Federal office holder of any prominence made q speech in Kentucky. John G.. Carlisle, notwithstanding his polit- teal life was at stake, did not raise his hand or voice to avert the dis. aster which has befallen his polit- ical fortune. But on the other hand, Blackburn, John s. Req, Bailey Of Texas, Stone of Missouri, and others, made an active cam paign of the State with the result that victory crowns their arms.
 As evidences multiply of the con trol of the National Democratic Convention by the silver men, let us hope that at all events the National Democracy will be vic torious this year.

A PUzzLlNG QUESTION.
Mayor Schott Wants to Know if Fire
 crackers Are Musical Instruments?

Mayor SchOtt Wants to Know if Fire
 crackers Are Musical Instruments?
 Mayor Schott of Massillon, O., is struggling to determine whether or not q firecracker Is q musical instrument. This probleJ1 arises from the giving of an open air concert i'll the park. The musicians concluded their evenings per formance with the national hymn America, D and, in order to give the se- lection according to the score, detailed two of their number to shoot off fire crackers.
 Now, there is city ordinance au- thorizing band concerts to be given in the park, and also one forbidding the exploding of fireerackers. No sooner had the f1recrackers gone off than bold po- liceman formed hollow square about the musicians and arrested them. They have pleaded not guilty and have de manded jury trial, that will take place next week In the meantime public subscription is being undertaken to defend them, and popular sentiment seems to be with the band
 The defense will be that the use of firecrackers was required to play the selection, and that for the time being they must be considered as musical in- struments and not fireworks. Chicago Tribune.

KENTUCK1.

The Kentucky County Couven- tions, held Saturday, resulted in an overwhelming triumph for the free silver forces, and the silver wing of the Pemocratic party Of that State will have complete mastery of the State Convention 10 select delegates to the National Democratic Convention. The re- suit is no doubt a bitter disappoint- ment to the administration forces and will effectually eliminate See retary Carlisle, the candidate of the administration, as a presidential possibility. The action Of Kentucky will also prove a strong leverage for the silverites in the neighbor- ing States of Illinois, Indiana and Ohio, and free silver delegations to the National Convention from these States are now to be expected. or course this means that the National Democratic Convention will be in the control of the silver men, and that they will write the plat form and nominate the candidate. The administration forces and op. ponents of free silver at the ratio of Is to l seem thoroughly disorgani- zed throughout the country and are offering no serious opposition to their opponents. In Illinois, (outside of Cook Countyl, Indiana and Ohio the sound money forces are offering no serious opposition to the on- ward march of the triumphant and shouting silverites. Here and there we witness . sporadic effort for sound money in the States above mentioned, but these efforts are confined almost entirely to large cities and commercial organizations.

BONES OF PYGMlES.
Lots of Them, Also Diary, Discovered
 In Pennsylvania.

In Pennsylvania.
 Farmer John Tapping, whose blow recently uncovered the graves of several pygmies who inhabited Waynesburg, Pa, thousands of years ago, spent an- other day looking for more graves.
 By dusk he had uncovered 20 of them in q field that is rich ill archaeological treasures. They formed a circle and faced the east The circuit was nearly 400 feet i'll diameter
 The graves were simply elliptical holes that had been dug ill the earth and covered by smooth slabs of sand stone, one of which was 29 inches ill length, 28 inches in width and 3 inches ill thickness. The others varied q few inches from these figures the largest being feet long and feet wide. The cavities under the slabs were 8 or 10 inches deep The slabs were found uni formly 10 inches below the surface.
 The skeletons had been placed i'll the graves unprotected by masonry and were in cramped positions The head had been bent forward over the breast, and the limbs had been drawn3up.
 Mir Tapping found diary bound in deerskin It had belonged to his grand father, and the latter, on Oct IT, 1796, noted the discovery of the skeleton of a person not more than feet in height. He had reburied the diary near the trunk of all apple tree, where it was dis covered. New York Recorder.

Company Formed to Exhibit the Rays
 Throughout the Country.
 The Roentgen X Ray company of Chi cago is the first corporation organized to turn the cathode ray into profit. The company was incorporated under the laws of New Jersey and received its charter. The capital stock is $100, 900, of which $55. 900 is subscribed and $9, 900 paid in.
 The purpose of the company is to show the nature of the ray by means of the radioscope. Rooms similar to the photograph exhibition rooms will be opened in New York, Brooklyn, Boston, Philadelphia, New Orleans, Cincinnati, St. Louis, Denver, San Francisco and Chicago.
 The radioscope has the Crookes tube and is provided with the huoreseent screen used by Edison, so that pictures are thrown upon a screen instead of \ sensitive plate. Chicago Record.

TRUE HUMANITY.
King Menelek Proves Himself Capable of
 Mercy.


 King Menelek of Abyssinia has not only proved his ability IS a warrior, but in his latest act proves he has the characteristic quality of all good fight CTS of being magnanimous to fallen foe. He has ordered the liberation of the Italian soldiers he has captured and Is willing to let them go home.
 From the beginning of the conflict with Italy this reputed savage has given evidence of intelligence and humane motives He has been defending his own and has defended it to good pur- pose. His discharge of his prisoners of war puts an end to the pretense that Italian aggression against his territory is i'll the interest of humanity or civili- zation
 Abyssinia might be better governed than 1t is, but it is not likely there would be any improvement if the gov erning power were transferred to the in- yaders, whose only object Is the aggran- dizement of d foreign nation and the plunder of Abyssinian resources. Pitts burg Dispatch.

BICYCLES FREE
To Boys and Girls Who Will Get Subscribers to the Daily and
 Semi Weekly Graphic.

The school season has about closed and books will soon be dis placed in the mind of every boy and girl by sports and amusements. There Is nothing so popular at the present day as bicycles, and nothing so coveted by the young of both sexes. Most children, however, cannot afford the luxury of wheel owing to their great cost. In order, therefore, to give everyone an oppOr- tunity of securing good bicycle the GRAPHIC has decided to make the following offers:
 To every boy or girl who secures fifty subscribers to the Daily GRAPHIC for q period of two months or fifty subscribers to the Semi , Weekly GRAPHIC for q period of one year each. will be given q $40 De- fiance bicycle.
 To every person securing sixty two-month subscribers to the Daily or sixty yearly subscribers to the Semi Weekly GRAPHIC will be given $50 Defiance bicycle.
 To every person securing seventy two-month subscribers to the Daily or seventy yearly subscribers to the SemiW Weekly GRAPHIC will be given q S60 Defiance bicycle.
 To every person securing eighty five two-month subscribers to the Daily or eighty-fve yearly subscrib- CTS to the Semi-Weekly GRAPHIC will be given q $75 Defiance bicycle.
 It is not necessary that the whole number be made up of subscribers to the same paper, but it may be com posed of part Daily and part Semi Weekly subscriptions.
 The above offers apply only to new subscribers or to parties taking neither the Daily nor Semi-Weekly GRAPHIC at the present time-May T. The subscription price-65 cents month for the Daily and S150 a year for the Semi-Weellly-must accompany every name, else credit will not be given the solicitor. In the event three OF four month subscriptions to the Daily are secured, q corresponding decrease i'll the number required will be allowed, but no person will be permitted to subscribe for a longer period than four months to the Daily or one year to the Semi-Weekly. One .canvasser can transfer his list to the credit of another should he fail to get the required number 10 get q bicycle
 Defiance bicycles are manufactured and guaranteed by the Monarch Cycle Mfg. Co, of Chicago, and are made of the same material used in $l00 wheels They are, therefore, far superior to most cheap bicycles. The $40 and $50 wheels are for boys and girls and the $60 and $70 wheels for adults, Catalogues containing a detailed description of each machine and blanks for canyassing may be had free at the GRAPHIC office.
 Now is the chance for industrious boys and girls to get bicycles for little effort, and the sooner they get to work the easier will it be to secure the required number of sub- scribers. Who will be the first one to get a wheel?

TETO OF THE RITER AND
 H1RB0R BILL.

President Cleveland's veto of the River and Harbor Bill should be source Of qualification to the tax payers of the nation out Of whose pockets all appropriations must finally come. His reasons are clear ly set forth in his veto message, which must appeal to the patriot ism of the entire country.
 The President correctly declares ''that many of the objects for which the river and harbor bill appropri- ates public money are not related to the public welfare;7 says the Chicago Record, an independent newspaper in discussing this subject, and many of them are palpably for the benefit of limited localities or in aid or individual interest He also says that some of the projects for which appropriations are proposed in the bill have been entered upon without the approval or against the objee- tions of the examining engineers. A more remarkable statement is the followingt
 "I learn from official sources that there are appropriations con tained in the bill for work which private parties have actually agreed with the government to do in con- sideration of their occupancy of public property.
 "The President points out that there are AT items of appropriations contained in the bill and that every part of the country is repre- sented in the distribution of it's favors. Therefore, while it is true the bill contains meritorious pro- visions, it will be suspected that it's strength with Congressman is due to the fact that it is in great part a log-rolling measure, in which the special and pet interests of members are looked out for without regard to the effect on the public treasury. As President Arthur said of such meas ures in a veto of a river and harbor bill in 1882: Thus as the bill be- comes more objectionable it secures more support
 Congress is especially to be crit icised for extravaganza in appro- priations at a time when the Gov ernment revenues are small. At tention is called to this point by the President It looks very much as if the way was being prepared by Congress and an excuse devised for the enactment of another high-tariff law as soon as there shall be a change of administration.
 Ut has been expected, even in Congress, that the President would veto this bill just as he has done. In anticipation of such action ad- journment was delayed long enough to give an opportunity to pass the measure over the veto. The objec- tions of the Presidentale e to be over ridden, not because they are ill., taken, but simply because there may be votes enongh todo so. This will be sorry spectacle if the pro gramme is carried out. The Presi- dential veto will receive the sane tion of minded men generally .
