ed that he would kill some members of
the family. Mr.. Suits departed for
Blakesburg Immediately. LETTER has
been sent to the asylum at Mt. Pleas |

What kindergarten Teaches.

The kindergarten is based on the
philosophy of life and the laws and
growth of child-mind. Psychology re-
veals the fact that the creator has seen
of it to delelop mind in ali classes Of
society by the same laws. The mind OF
the prince and the pauper unfold in
obedience to the same divine laws,
which, if violated, in either case must
inevitably result in evil Though tie
methods may differ somewhat, accord
ing to environment, the principle is
the same for all classes.
AT so early an age as three or four
years the child is making his begin
nings in science, mathematics, manual
training. physical culture, music, art,
literature and religions. In true kin
dergarten the child is encouraged in
his natural interest to observe plants
aud how they grow, the number OF
petals and colors OF flowers, the shape
and arrangement OF leaves on the stem,
the protection, distribution and uses Of
different seeds and fruits; the food,
homes and habits Of animals, the
source and uses Of sand, clay, stones,
metals and minerals; the moon. sun,
stars and clouds; the effect Of rain.
frost, wind. etc. Is soon as he clearly
observes any of tie facts, they are ex-
pressed ana tested in the form of
play. This is simply, truly, but is it
not worthy to be called the beginning

The child's attention is drawn to
simple beauty in nature, and he records
his impressions with colored crayons,
charcoal, clay, colored papers, water
co.ors. etc This is elementary art
keeps his eyes open 10 the beautiful,
and satisfies his cravings for it.
The child is given myths, fairy
stones, legends and short poems. and

AT this very hour by that watch, "
said he, pointing to his timepiece on
the table, John Young Brown is
standing on a platform in Bowling
Green trying to convince his hearers
that John {. Breckenridge and not
Douglas was the bOlter. Let me recall
a little history. Charleston was the
meeting place Of the Democratic con-
ventiOn in 1850. Breckinridge's name
was never mentioned in that conven-
ton. The Douglas people captured the
temporary organization and elected as
temporary chairman General Thompson
FlOurnoy, of Arkansas, whose wife
was my sister. However, they failed
to capture the permanent organization,
and Caleb Gushing. of Massachusetts,
was made permanent chairman. He
was not Douglas man. The conven-
ton had more trouble than our recent
convention at Louisville. 1t lasted
from the 23d day OF April to the 81 day
of May. Then it took recess TO meet
May Is at Baltimore. The two conven-
tiOns were held. One nominated
Douglas and the other nominated
Breckenridge. But the chairman of the
convention which nominated Breckin-
ridge was Mr.. Gushing, the regularly
elected chairman. Brown helped with
his corPorals guard to defeat Breckin-
ridge just as he is now trying to defeat
Goebel. Douglas carried one Southern
State, Missouri. Breckenridge carried
all the rest. blackburn at Elizabeth

PASSING Of Agricultural Farms,

Importance other than as farmers.
''One of the first and most serious in
novations on the prerogatives OF the
agricultural ialr proper was the horse
racing features, which absorbed much
OF the funds that should have been de-
voted to premiums for excellence of
rural work and products of the farm.
1t was not long before the fast horse
and the faster man became the leading
attractions of the State fair, and, of
course, the purpose of the exhibition
suffered in consequence. The majority
OF the attendants were hOrsemen and
tue typical farmer stayed at home and
kept his produce with him. The State
exhibits set the pace for the county
shows and these became in time the re-
sorts of local jockeys and the rifraff
that follows them. The big punkin and
elephantine squash attracted few men
and the bedquilt of a million pieces
still charmed the elderly ladies, but
the chief attraction was the race course
and its envirOns.

HOW REPUBLICANS GATHER TAXES.

Referring to Mr.. Taylor's claim that
the Republicans had made large collec-
tons Of franchise taxes, Senator Goebel
in his speech at ElizabethtOwn showed
that franchise taxation was established
by the new Constitution adopted by a
Democratic constitutional assembly +;
that the statute under which the taxes
are collected was passed by a Demo-
cratic Legislature; that he himself
happen to have written the law, and
that the necessary litigation to enforce
it was pushed through by Jack Hend-
rick. Democratic Attorney General.
''The Republican party had no hand
in any of it," said Senator Goebel. st
is the Democratic, and not the Republic
can party, which deserves credit for it.
Don't forget, in this connection, that
there has been a reduction in railroad
valuation Of sl2,OOO,OOO under this Ad-
ministration. That's Republican tax
gathering for you. And One-half of the
taxes on this Sl2,OOO,OOO would have
gone to the school fund"

]. T. HAYS, a young lawyer, late of
Barbourville, spoke and created sem
satiOn by asserting that just before
John Young Browns term expired he
pardoned a Bell county man named
Bradford, serving a sentence for homi-
eide. On being released Bradford went
to Brown and after thanking him for
pardoning him, asked if he could do
anything to repay him in a measure.
Yes" said Gov. Brown, ''go home
and vote for Col. W. o. Bradley"
Bradford had been a Democrat before
going to the penitentiary and gave this
as the reason for his vote. This con-
firmation of Browns perfdy set the
crowd wild and it yelled itself hoarse.
