General Wheeler stands chance to
read out of the Democratic party for
saying, as he has just done, that the
Philippines ought to have territorial
form Of government. Most of the
Democrats not only are against such a
regime, but they want the Americans
to get out of the islands altogether, to
allow the native to inaugurate anarchy
in them, and thus invite European in
reference. Wheeler, on the other
hand, wants the country to hang onto
the Philippines,a and declares that their
possession will give us an immense
advantage in the trade of Asia. If
the Democrats turn Wheeler out how
ever, they will lose many votes be-
sides his, because the Wheeler view is
becoming pretty popular among pro-

Joubert's Wife Coolly Peeled
Potatoes.

New York, March IA correspon-
dent in the Times writing from Lour-
enco Marques. says:
A Dutchman gives an interesting ac-
count of a visit recently paid to the
Boer camp at Colenso. He made a
| short stay at the camp with General
Jcubert, who at the time was engaged
with his secretary and the telegraph
wires, while close at hand and under
the same canvass his sturdy spouse
was placidly peeling potatoes as If no
fatal issue were hanging in the bal
ance, The rites of hospitality were
observed by the Commandant General
ordering the native wench Eva, who
has accompanied him and his good
spouse through many a fierce cam
paign, to bring the national beverage,
coffee.
AT the camp an Irish Fusllier, who
had just fallen into the hands of the
Beers, remarked in conversation:
Sure, all the Beers olive met have
been Irlshmen." Certainly the col
lection was most cosmopolitan one.
There were few Afrlkanders among
them, but the majority were either
Americans, Italians or Greeks. In the
near neighborhood OF Judge Kock and
the General were cracking whips and
stimulating lazy mules into activity,
hitching and unhitching harness,
greasing wheels and notching dissel-
booms as il such were the ordinary oc-
cupations of the Chairman OF the first
Volkrand and a Judge OF the Supreme
Court.

"The Carnival Of Perjury"

The State knew that, as soon as the
law for the encouragement of perjury
and to secure the conviction OF the in
nocent was passed, there would break
out an epidemic of perjury and vio-
lence. Fifty thousand dollars is too
tempting not to encourage every pos
sible effort to convict; the question of
guilt or innocence is wholly prevalent
"a mere matter of moonshine. To
smirch leading Republicans, to make
political capital, to wreak a cowardly
vengeance, to divide the swag-these
are the motives which animate the
sudden eruption of yesterday. Mr..
Justus Goebel is reputed to be man
of means; he will never dare to make
an affidavit and have any of these
marked men arrested and render him
self liable to damages; stool pigeons.
lame ducks, men of straw will be put
forward to make the affidavts; men
who have nothing to lose will be the
nominal prosecutors. No man in Ken
lucky believes that Caleb Powers or
his brother or Charles Finley was
cognizant of the assassination of Mr..
Goebel. Nor do we believe that any
amount of purchased perjury can con-
yict these young men; nor do we be-
3ieve that any amount of purchased
perjury can convict these young men;
nor do NO haIiaya it i- aypoc+ad ,to cpp-
vict them. But bribes will be scatter
ed to induce false confessions, to make
periurers turn states evidence, and all
the old machinery Of corrupt courts
will be put into operation. The judi
cial history of the world is alas, too
full of just such crimes; the number
of dirty perjurers who have sworn
away the lives and liberties of limo
cent men is very large, and they have
appeared whenever there was money
enough to induce such miscreants to
commit these awful crimes. We pass
ed through such an experience after
the assassination of President Lin
coin; the reign of perjury at Wash
ington has been described by many
writers; on small scale it is being re-
peated at Frankfort.
but there must be an end to this
some day We do not know who are
the Jury Commissioners appointed by
the Franklin Circuit Court. But in
theses cases every effort will be made
TO prevent packed juries and to obtain
occasions criticized the conduct of the
District Attorney of Franklin County.
1t has lately received from a valued
friend an opinion that perhaps we
have misjudged this officer.
We have no personal feeling but o,
kindness to him, and have an admira-
tion for his gifts, which are many and
attractive; and God knows we want
to have occasion and opportunity to
commend and praise his conduct. But,
II he plays second fiddle to the import
ed attorney whose character is Ma
tional; If he allows himself to become
the mere tool OF those who are striv-
ing to swag this money or OF those
who are using the courts for base par
tlsan ends, he will lose the greatest
opportunity that ever came to an Off
Ger. The State wants the criminal
discovered and punished, but not the
innocent harriee, the perjurer reward
ed nor justice prostituted.--Lexington

VERY:PRETTY
And Pleasant Affair was the Brinkman
Reception Thursday Evening.

The reception given Thursday even
ing at the residence of Rev. w. e..
Brinkman and his bride was a pretty
and most enjoyable affair About 200
members and friends of the church
came to extend their greeting and
best wishes to the newly welded pair.
The time Of the receotion was between
the hours of six and nine o'clock.
The guests as they arrived were
greeted most gracefully at the door by
Misses Carol Weis and Mable Cline,
and were conducted to the reception
room by Messrs. Cisler and Bode.
Here they were received by Mr.. and
Mrs Rev. Brinkman. who never fail to
become friends with all whom they
meet.
After the guests were received by
Rev. Brinkman and bride, they were
ushered to the dining room which was
most fittingly and tastefully decorated
for the occasion. Here the guests were
served with light refreshments such as
are always suitable and desirable for
such occasions. 1t is not necessary to
state that the characteristic liberality
and good cheer of the ladies of the
church prevailed here as elsewhere.
Neat and pretty souveniers were dis
tributed to the guests by Miss Clara
Lang and Miss Alice Wagner. The la
dies having the matter in charge made
it their special attention that not any
guest should in no way be sighted.
All those who were present will long
remember the evening spent with the
members of the ST. Luke's Lutheran
church as most delightful one.
The Leader extends its sincre con-
gratulations and good wishes to Rev,
Brinkman and bride.

In an address delivered recently
President Thompson of the Ohio State
University, on the subject. Does
College Education Paw" said: In
1896, of the nine members of the
Supreme Court eight were col
lege graduates, while six out of
the eight Cabinet officers, 1O5 mem
bers Of the lower house and 20 United
States senators were graduates of some
college or university. Sixteen presi-
dents of the United States have been
college graduates and about three
fourths of all Cabinet officers have had
the same training. The college-bred
man gets into his position 10 years ear
lier than the uneducated man. and the
young college men are becoming more
and more leaders of the country. A
college education is an absolute guar
antee against poverty and distress.
The successful men who are not col

opportunity"

Newport, o.. Dec. 19.-The twelve
year-old daughter of Mr.. Charles Ath-
ey, a well known farmer residing near
Newell's Run. died at 10 o'clock this
morning rs the result of burns re-
ceived from blazing oil which the
child innocently threw into the fire.
The horrible accident which cost the
life of the little girl, occurred about
three o'clock Wednesday afternoon.
She had some crude oil and was play
ing about the room when for some rea-
son, probably to see the blaze. she
threw some of the liquid into the fire
place filled with burning Goals. She
had little time to think of the awful
consequence of her playful act, for the
oil quickly ignited, and in "a moment
the child was enveloDed in mass of
flames. Her clothing caught fire and
before the mother, who was ARMED by
her screams, could reach her. the little
girl was frightfully burned.
The mother eXtinguished the flames
by wrapping a blanket about the child,
but it was too late to save her Med
ical aid was summoned, but all efforts
to save the child's life were of no avail.
She fingered in intense agony until 10
O'Clock this morning, when death came
to her relief.
The parents are almost prostrated
with grief over their child's awful
death and they have the sympathy OF
everyone in the nei-hborhood.
No arrangements have as yet been
made for the funeral.

treasury department has been defraud-
ed Of thousands of dollars by the
washing of cancelled revenue stamps
Those engaged in the business have
secured cancelled stamps of all denom-
nations, washed them clean, re-
gummed them and sold them. Now,
however, the treasury chemists have
found an olive gray ink for the stamp
itself which will fade away if any at
tempt shall be made to wash out the
cancellation mark. Unfortunately, it
has proved impossible to blend this
fugitive ink with any chemical produc-
ing an agreeable color, and beauty has,
therefore been sacrificed to safety.
