there certainly ought not to be
any reason why cur merchants
cannot pay as much for cotton as
is paid at Mariana. And it j.
suicide to permit such a condition
to exist for even a week, or a day.

heretofore been called enterprising

At recent meeting Of the Jndi-
ana Bankers association at Indi-
auapolis, Mortimer lowering, OF
Lafayette, recognized as one OF
the best fnanciers in Indiana,
made an address on postal savings
banks in which he said: 1.-THE
government is in a position to
manage this thing through its pres
ent postoffiee system, and will
scarcely increase the expenses of
that department, while it will en-
nance the accumulated wealth of
The people throughout the whole
United States. 1t was thought
that building and loan associations
would care for the savings of the
masses, but people have become
suspicious of them. 1t is well to
know that lawyers IN Indiana are
making as much as $40, 600 a year
out OF these institutions, and Off
GERS are making much money out
Of them. We all know that trust
companies are not organized as
eleemosynary institutions. We
want system of savings banks
that are tor the poor people.
What greater pride could man
have than to think himself a de-
positor OF the United States?"

Since our last issue numbers Ct
citizens have assured us that it Is

from the Forrest City district to

though ioath to believe it, the
proof seems conclusive, there is q
condition existing which the mer
chants Of this town cannot afford

From the incomplete returns
from Tuesdays election it is i'm
possible to give reliable figures,
but all evidence a gain for democ-
racy everywhere.
Tammany was victorious in
Greater New York city, having
elected Van Wyck, as mayor, by a
plurality of $4,000 votes, and
swept the field for assembly and
county officers. In the state the
democracy got share of the Of

Virginia, Kentucky, Nebraska,
New Jersey and Maryland went
democratic. Iowa and Massachu.
sets are republican; Ohio is in
doubt.
In the states gone republican
large democratic gains are con
ceded.
The elections in other states
were local, and many cities now
carry democratic banners.
The political effect of these cleo
tons is hard to foretelI, but the re.
suit shows that the people are get
ting tired of waiting for the prom
lsed prosperity, and with good
leaders for democracy there is no
reason why Mckinley and his
boomers may not be asked to step
down and out in 1900.

EXECUTION OF GABRIELLE.
The Awful Moment came-The Az
FelI-Science Won Victory.

All the great physicians of France
We're gathered at the place of execution
in the Rue Roquette. They were to
witness an experiment of absorbing in
terest in the medical world, an expert
ment that would demonstrate beyond
doubt whether the human head, when
severed from the body, retains con-
sciousness for any period of time.
A year before a physician had made
a similar experiment on a beheaded
man, and had declared that the man
answered several questions by NOV
ing his eyes in a way that had been
agreed upon before the AK fell. Now a
woman, Gabrielle Sachard, was to be
the subject. and the physicians hoped
that, being a woman, she might not
only move her eyes. but speak after
her head was severed. And. in order
to increase the chances of the success
of the experiment in this case, they
agreed TO pick UP the head immediate
y after it fell into the basket, and
press it as nearly as possible into posi-
ton again.
Gabrielle understood what was to be
done, and she consented to the expert
