How Richmond Man Once Did up inaersoll.
The sudden death OF the great Inf
del, Robt. G.. Ingersoll, at his home in
New York, last week recalled little
incident which occurred a number of
years ago with lormer citizen Of our
town. Jno I. Burnam, an older broth
er Of Mai. Burnam. was livingin Ration,
N. M, conducting a merchandising
business: he also owned the only public
hall in the town. Mr.. IngersoIl was
visiting his friend, Stephen B Elkins.
who then was living on his ranch near
Ration, but who is now the Senator from
West Virginia A number OF the citi-
zens of Ration urged Mr.. Ingersoll TO de
liver one OF his lectures in the town,
and he agreed to do. They went to
Mr.. Burnam to engage his hall, and he
on inquiry learned for what purpose
they expected to use it and declined
promptly to allow them to have it. say
ing "that no man could speak in his
house for the purpose of abusing his
bible and his religion" A number OF
toughs abused Mr.. B. for his narrow
ness. and finally some one threatened
him, when little chap about 20 years
remarked that while he wanted to hear
Ingersoll speak. he thought Mr.. Bur
nam exactly right and if any one
wished to fight let them step out. This
settled it and Ingersoll did not speak
at Ration.

DEMOcRAcY'S SAFEGUARD AGAINST A REP.
ETITlON OF THE CRIME or Sc.
Editor Gilman:

Editor Gilman:
The Democrats of the proud Com
mOnwealth of Kentucky are prepar-
ing-and the preparation is evidence
sufficient that the stain of Republican
ism will be erased from her fair name,
never to be placed in power again so
long as Intelligence, justice andcompe-
tency can avert the power of illiteracy
wrong and misrule, which are attrib-
utes of the Republican party.
The average illiteracy in the State Of
Kentucky is PIG, and does any one
doubt for moment which party as
Stimulates that illiteracy?
With such gallant aud gifted Demo
cratic leaders as compose our State
ticket, standing as they do on a plat
form embodying every principle of
justice, we will march TO victory, de-
feating Hannaism and Taylor's ragtime
howlers by 10000 votes,
The Democratic party acknowledges
her offspring, the Goebel amendment
to the election law in the State of Ken
lucky, and will christen it "The light
that drives from our land Republican
darkness" and from henceforth the
womb OF Democracy shall be called
blessed in giving us a child that will
guard our interest and save us to De-
mocracy from Republican stealage, such
as the great crime of 1861
Republicans hereabouts acknowledge
that Kentucky is a Democratic State,
and in the same breath eXclaim that
Goebel will steal the election. Now,
if Kentucky is Democratic, how is the
GOebel bill to assist Democrats in
stealing it, for parties do not have to
steal what is theirs by right of suffrage.
1t seems to us then that the Goebel
amendment must be for some other
purpose, viz: To keep the Republican
party from laying hold on property
not theirs by right.
The attitude of the Republican party
toward the Goebel amendment, is like
the rawlings Of thief, who censures an
honest man who has, for the protection
of his property, placed the necessary
safeguards around it in order to pro-
tect it from known thief, as we'll as
suspected ones.
So much then for the noble offspring,
the progeny of Democracy, on which
a Republican Governor looked with
secret contempt and actually refused to
acknowledge its birth.

Chemical invention 10 Preserve Ice.

Although it will break Dave Tevis'
heart, the rest of the sweaters will be
glad to know that Everett Bevan, of
Anderson, Indiana, celebrated the hot
test day of the year by making appli-
cation for letters Of patent covering a
timely discovery. For two years he
has been working on a preparation
with which TO coat ice and keep it from
melting. He claims to have made the
discovery at last, and exhibits three
blocks of ice which have been subjected
to the heat for three months and have
not decreased in size. The preparation
is white liquid which is poured over
the ice. 1t has no Ordor, and an an
aiysis of the ingredients do not reveal
poisonous. 1t cannot be seen
on the ice, but it keeps off the hot
waves and makes the ice almost as
staple an article as rock. Bevan is in
the ice business.

The Post announced on Tuesday that the
linemen of the Citizens Electric Light

Yesterday the announcement was made,
upon the authority OF the superintendent
Of the Citizens Electric Light company
that the demand Of the strikers had been
acceded to- hence it was thought that the
trouble was settled, but it appears not.
The mere acceding to the demand to pay
the $3.50 per DAY was not all that was de-
manded by the linemen, they asked for
the signing of contract that would pro-
tect them in their employment. This was
refused. and last night the strike became
general. those employed in all the different
departments OF the Citizens Electric
Light company, the light trimmers en-
