The First Coaches.

In the fifteenth century coaches APP
pear to have been used IL professions
or other public ceremonies, more as an
ornament than anything else, If we may
Judge from the clumsy form of the We
hicle. The entrance of the ambassador
Trevasi into Mantua in a carriage is
noticed as early as the year 1888. and
that of Frederick Ill into Frankfort in
q covered coach in the year l475. 1t is
s curious contrast to the rapidity with
which new inventions are o adopted
that nearly a century elapsed before
the covered carriage was introduced
into England. Stow, in his chronicle,
in the year 1866 mentions the in
PRODUCTION in these terms: This year
Walter Ripon made a coach for the
Earle of Rutland, which was the first
coach tsaith he) hat ever was made in
England. Since-to wit, in ammo 1854

hollow turning coach, with PLIERS and
arches. for her majestic, being then her

The sailors Of the time of Good Queen
Bess must have found it a difficult mat
ter to obtain berths on a coach for their
cruise on shore. Even her majesty.

said that lit was caused from too
much acid in the system = lit was
caused from eating too much fruit
that it was not contagious. Other
doctors have admitted hat though
they could cure it, they did not
know its cause : while another doc
tor said he thought it came from a
parasite and like all such diseases
could be transmitted that it would
scarcely ever prove fatal or even
make a person i'll. The sores do
not itch at all, but burn some when
they get bad. One doctor claims
that it can be cured in three days
another that il must break out
quite freely before it can be healed
up, but all admit that it is a new
form of disease in this section.

sufferers and it appears that it would

Lincoln County's View.

Lennox~ independent.
The people of Lincoln county have
gone against the prohibition law as
it exists today and rolls up a major,
ity of 254 votes for repeal of the law.
1t is the first time in the history of
the county that it has declared
against prohibition. The utter folly
and uselessness of the law as it
exists today was SO evidently detri-
mental to the moral and financial
interests Of the county that the peo-
pie could conscientiously vote only
to repeal it.

While sitting in my quarters in d

hour after nightfall on the evening J
Friday, Oct. 23, 1863, an urdsrI
brought me o message from GeuerI
George II. Thomas. commander Of d

for two days, and a chilling rain II

the left side of the hall, with th3
members of his staff and several strsrI
officers.
In an armchair facing the frepld
was seated a general officer, slight

face bore an expression of wearinei
He was carelessly dressed, aud his u
form coat was unbottoned and thrud
back from his chest. He held a Light
cigar in his mouth and sat in a stci

forward. His clothes were wet, and
trousers and topboots were spatts1

Four years ago the democrats
promised in event of succes that
wheat should go up to s1.25 a bush
ell. They won, and wheat went
down and down. This year the Re-
publicans promised with success that
wheat would advance. They won
last Tuesday, and wheat is already
up ten cents, which fairly illustrates
the difference between Republican

SILVER A DEAD ISSUE.
SO Regarded by 10 to Advocates
i'm the South.

While Senator Pettigrew, enraged
and outraged in the shadow of de-
feat in South Dakota, nails the free
silver crown to his martyred head
and proclaims himself as the inveter-
ate gold-bug exterminator to the
last ditch in 1900, the solid south,
from which the popocrats received
the bulk Of their electoral vote, is
demanding a rest. Southern editors
have been scanning the returns and
counting the price paid by the
southern democracy in following
free silver into the camp of repudi-
alton, natural dishonesty and law
lessness. The following table gives
the losses on the popular vote suffer
ed by the popocracy in the states
named, compared with the demo-
cratic vote of 1892
Alabama. sc, 900 N. Carolina $4,000
Florida. 5000 Tennessee ..2S, 900
Georgia ......53,000 Texas ........S4 900
Louisiana Ia, 900 Virginia. ...35, 900
Mississippi. 5000 -
Total .2S2 900
This takes no account of Della
ware, Maryland, West Virginia and
Kentucky, lost absolutely to the
southern democracy through it's
partnership with populism and free
silver.
So small wonder that the Savan-
nah News, which swallowed Bryan,
says ave look upon free silver
coinage as a dead issue. 1t will
never be resurrected. 1t is laid in
its grave along with the greenback
issue" The Mobile Register,
another southern supporter of Bryan,
says: "What the people most
want now is a rest and it thinks
that they will not readily be led off
into agitation a second time.
In advance of Senator Pettigrew's
threat, the Jacksonville (Fla.) Citi-
zen said that ''people may talk about
carrying on the contest, but every
sensible man knows that it is ended
Senator Pettigrew only does not
know, because he is not a sensible
man. He is INT of those unwise
leaders upon whom the Citizen says
the party must turn its back, for
they have brought disaster upon it.
We commend a study Of the
southern press to Messrs. Bryan,
Jones, Pettigrew and all other
agitators who think that the Rocky
mountain tail of the ~popocratic silver
wild cat will be able to swing the
southern democratic cat i'm 1900.
The aforesaid silver tail casts just
thirty-eight electoral votes for Bryan
in the electoral college, or only
eight more than those cast bv Della
ware, Maryland, West Virginia, and
Kentucky, which the solid south lost
by reason of free silver.-Chicago
