The proposed Democratic contest
over the electoral ticket in Kentucky
can only effect IL electors. One Dem
ecrat and one Republican, heading
the two tickets as electors at large
are certainly elected, running more
than 1000 votes ahead of their re-
spective tickets. In any event there
must by divided delegation. Neither
candidate has carried Kentucky. 1t
is dog fall, and all bets that either
Mckinley or Bryan would carry the
State will have to be drawn.

The Homestead, an agricultural
paper at Des Moines, Iowa, says
Hanna's agents offered it $4,000 to
support the gold standard. 1t is a
little to late too expose such methods

off until after the election to discuss
the attempt to bride? Nobody vii
doubt that the Homestead tells the
truth, as there is hardly paper any

of fusion for next year in the county
election. The Populists will get the

Democrats will name the county
judge, attorney, circuit clerk, county
clerk, jailer and surveyor. Hender.
son county is safely opposed to Re-
publicanism by from 1900 to 1900

forces is step in the right direction
and is one that should be taken in

matter of small concern to the 2l8,-
600 Democrats of Kentucky, how many
addresses are issued by either the

law, cannot hold conventions, as they
east less than two per cent of the total

to make nominations. The leaders of
the Palmer movement will eventually
drift into theRepublican party. There

The strike OF coal miners at Jack
son, Ohio, is not yet settled. The
miners say they will not return to
work at the old prices, as they cannot
live on 70 cents a day. The mine
owners claim that they cannot pay

where the workmen are paid only
forty five cents a day. No wonder
there was Democratic gain of 100,-

!.
LIS Chicago Record, a Republi-
can paper, but a very conservative
sheet that rarely goes to extremes,
uses this rather plain language about
one of the recent Republican nomi-
nees:
"There seems to be disposition in
some quarters to vote w. @. P.
Breckenridge into the United States
senate as a successor to Blackburn.
Such action would be uncalled for
and the threat of it is unpleasant to
hear. This man has been tried by
about every sort of tribunal known to
the people of his nation-with the
exception only of the one where his
trial ought to have been conducted,
the police court aud We do not re-
call that he has been found overly or
painfully innocent, 1t seems strange
that this person, who was clever
enough to get into congress at one
time, is not shrewd enough to under
stand that the people are sick OF him,
and ithat they wish he would go
away somewhere, and the farther
away the somewhere is the better.
His insistent demands for vindication
by people who have shown their
disincl;ration to do that sort OF thing
for him are getting tiresome. The
only way to vindicate him seems to
be to vindicate him with long,
strong oak club-preferably one with
nails driven part way into its end"

The apple crop this year is said to
be enormous. Already 100000 bar
rels have been shipped abroad, as
against $4,000 barrels last year. The
best quality of home grown apples
are worth about 80 cents a bushel
from wagons. This beats wheat al
fifty cents bushel and explains why
so many apple trees are annually be
ing planting in this county. Carloads
of nursery stock are delivered at this
city every fall and spring. Fruit
raising is every year attracting more
attention from those who find it a
hard matter to make farming profit
able.

1t was given out just after the cleo
ton that Mr.. E. T. Franks, the de-
feated candidate for Congress in this
district, would be the chief ple-cutter
in the Second district. Just why Mr.
Franks should be selected for this
honor any more than Col. Jolly, DR..
Klmbley, Lige Sebree or any other
defeated congressional candidate who
has gone down leading a forlorn
hope in the noble old Second, was
not made plain, But Mr.. Franks is
not after such empty honors. He has
an appetite for pie himself and rumor
has it that he has selected the biggest
and juiciest slice of all for his own
0specia. deglutition and delectation.
It matters not with him if others are
after the same pie. Nor is he to be
deferred by such little matter as
forgetting an agreement made in the
presence of witnesses. The bucking
Broncho of Greensboro is at his old
tricks, but this time he has been
bridled and the bit in his mouth is
strong enough to curb him and hold
him down. No, Mr.. Franks will not
be collector this time. He may be
sent as consul to Timbuctoo, but the
piece of pie he has sharpened his
teeth to devour is already spoken for.

THE Boy Shall We whip Him."

Some one, perhaps Emerson, has
described man to whom everything
in the universe WAS an open question
every morniug The Chicago Kin
dergarten College union teachers and
professors probably do not carry
open-mindeuness to this extent, but
there is one old and apparently very
simple question concerning which
they seem still to entertain doubts
namely. "The boy-Shall We Whip
Him." The question, which seems
to vary its form according to the size
of the victim from ITO spank or not
spankp in the kindergarten, "To
switch or not to switch?" in the pri-
mary schools, and "To thwack or not
to thwacki" in the higher schools,
has given teachers and educators no
end of trouble from the earliest times
down to the meeting of the college
union Wednesday night, and, sad to
say, is still unanswered, to judge
from the discussions on the occasion
referred to.
Historically the question is inter
esting. Solomon and St. Paul are
the high scriptural authorities for
fogglng, but, like the latter's
announcements against women
speaking in church, their observations
on this subject do not gain wide
credence and following in the world
to-day. Horace has immortalized
the schoolmaster who logged him, but
not in away that 0rbilus himself would
have chosen. Old DR.. johnson got a
good share of hogging in his youth,
and professed to be the better for it,
as did also Coleridge and even Gold
smith. Cheerful kind old Montaigne
however is to be placed on the side of
the boy as one would naturally ex-
pect. So much a matter of fact part
of the teachers routine was fogging
in the olden time, and still is in the
great English schools of Elton, West
minister, Winchester and Rugby, that
there were not few who seemed to
think, like DR.. Syntax, only of their
own trouble, and to pity themselves
because it was their hard lot to "drive
in learning at the breach"
Really, however, the question is
much nearer settlement than some
of the speakers at the college union
meeting the other night seem to sup
pose. 1t isprobably true, as was said
by one of the teachers, that "a child
had better be lashed with the switch
than with the tongue" but public
sentiment has decided that one who
resorts to either of these methods is
unworthy the name of teacher, aud,
as to fogging, it has put a ban upon
it in all more enlightened communi
ties. There may be children who are
not Gmendsble to any other discipline
than fogging, but if so their place
is at home until their parents have
taught them to be civil, or, failing
that, there remains the reform school,
where the methods can be adapted to
their peculiar cases.-Chicage Record.
