The decision Of Judge Tart that the
Federal Courts are without Jurisdiction in
the Kentucky election contests. is what
unbiased people have been expecting as a
matter OF course. It seems to surprise al
most as much it disappoiuts the Taylor
faction who have acted throughout as if on
the theory that the Republican managers
in Washington would in some way see that
the Administration should back up the in
surrection OF the banditti. and find United
States judges TO use the power Of the ju-
dietary in their favor. without any ineon-
Neuicnt reference to the Constitution or
the laws.
But the lswIess methods which the ma
tional hackers Of the Taylor faction might
not hesitate to use in bullying voters
Stufiing ballot boxes. or purchasing Sen
alorships, become little too risky when
applied 10 the Overturning Of constitu-
iional State Government, and the violent
dispersion Of its Legislature by bands Of
armed mountaineers. This is a distinction
which appears TO have escaped Taylor 5
notice, and il undoubtedly led him into
the error Of expecting that the good poll
tics and sound business methods" which
he has seen in active operation within
the party fold for several years. under the
most distinguished direction. would be
freely on tap to support him and his ban
dts in whatever they might do or dare. no
matter to what extent their actions might
violate decency. law. and order Il is.
therefore. saIutary that Judge Taft's de-
cision should have been elected at This
juncture. IL viii serve perhaps as a warn
ing to Republicans in other Common
wrslths. who may be contemplating revo-
luton 10 something of the kind should
seem desirable to affect Presidential re-
suits next autumn. that Federal interfer-
ence i'm state affairs will not be attempted
Tor the beuedt OF the faithful. unless they
can make out better case for it than
usually can be constructed upon the foun-
dstions Of political assassination. the arm
ed suppression Of popular government. and
open insurrectiOn against society.

quest. expected to undertake for the pro-
lection and assistance OF the subjects Of

the order OF Secretary Hay to assume

creating him a hireling of the gore-stained

based on two hypothesis. One is that tenn

20 sever his connection with the Admins

T~hreshing corn IN n separator,
MUCH the same as small grain is
threshed, is new labor saving in
dnstry. Dan H~ershman, who has
been running a thEssher for several
seasons, this year arranged his sep
arator by taking ont several OF che
cylinnar concave teeth, for thresh-
ing corn. He proponnces it a COM
p!ete success. and states that he can
thresh out 1000 bushels of corn n
day. he says it can DO taken snap
ped, in the shock, shusked, or any
old way, and that fodder will be cut
Up no that stock will eat it up clean.
There is no waste, Us the little corn
spilled in handling it will be con-
sumedE by the chickens on any farm.
This work rangea in price from two
to four cents per bishel, and is GER
tainly big improvement oyer the

TO DESTROY PRAIRIE DOGS.

The prairie dog, which is not a
dog at all, but u marmot, is about
to have it's day cutshort. The edict
has gone forth from the agricultural
depart ment at Washington that the
gregarious little beast which lives in
snb~terranean villages on the west
ern flatlands must cease to cumber
the earth. Secretary Wilson has
learned that the little bankers kill
the grass and thus ruin grazingland.
besides making it dangerous to cat
tie and ponies by reason OF the
multitude OF holes which they dig.
The chemists in Mr.. Wilson's Depart
ment have compoaaGai n mixture
which is exceedingly pleasant TO tae
taste OF the prairie dog, but demon
alizing to it's interior fixtures.
Quantities OF this compound will be
placed where the dogs will be al
lured by it, and shortly thereafter
there will be no more life in their viii
liages than there is in American
manufacturing towns under u demo.
cratic, low tariff administration.
Thus it seems that the prairie dog
will soon join the buffalo in the pic.
ture hooks, the museums, and the
private reserves where animals that
are nearly extinct can only befound.
At the same time there is q POSSIBLE
ity that the prairie dog will for a
time be able to laugh as derisiyely
at the efforts to exterminate It's kind
as the Australian rabbit is laughing
at all attempts thus far made to put
it out OF business.-Ex.
