HOT ROAST FOR TAYLOR.
The Republican Chicago Record
Discusses the Usurper.


w. S. Taylor. who claims to be
the Governor of kentucky contin-
ues 70 act IN such a manner as to
deprive him of all disinterested
sympathy or support, despite the
fact that he was originally the
wronged party, The general pub
lie believes Taylor was elected
Governor of Kentucky. Up to the
time of the assassination of Goebel,
the sentiment of the country was on
his side, because it was commonly
thought that the opposition intend
ed to unseat Taylor wrongfully.
Despite its unfairness, however,
the proposed procedure against
Taylor was in conformity with law
and, in consequence, Taylor, as
law-abiding citizen, was supposed
to be ready to abide by the out
come. When, however, he has
tened to take advantage of the as
sassination of Goebel he showed
this supposition to be an error. He
added to his other offenses when he
attempted by armed force to main
tain himself in power, in disregard
of the lawful procedure giving his
office to another. Now, he has
gone still further in the same di-
rectIon, by pardoning, in advance
of their conviction, men accused of
in the murder of Goebel. |
There would have been time
enough for Taylor to issue pardons
5or the accused after they should
have been unfairly convicted. His
attack upon the judiciary of his
state, in advance of any decisive
action on the. cases in question, was
extraordinary, to say the least.
Mr.. Taylor seems to be determined |
to seat himself in opposition to all I
lawful authority in way that is
subyersive of social order. Inas-
much as he was supposed to be the
beneficiary of the assassination of |
9oebel, considerations of decency |
should impel him to avoid even the
of trying to shield from
prosecution the perpetrators of
that crime. Record.

The largest hog ever raised was
recently slaughtered in New York.
The animal was a Jersey Red
boar two and one-half years old,
weighing alive 1 ,6O9 pounds, and
dressed 1886 pounds. The Ma
tional Provisioner has the following
to say of the prodigy, "This huge
swine measured over nine feet from
tip of its nose to end of its tail. It
measures two and-one-half feet
across the loins and two one-half
feet across the ha ms and six feet in
girth. This makes the hog three
feet through, 1t is split at the
shoulder and to look into the great
creyice of a ca vern, the carcass
spreads ac ross the perspective OF

the body of the great hog god en-
balmed and rcposing in it's gigantic
majesty.
From hip bone to toe it measures
three and one-half feet and about
the same from the crest of the shoul-
der blade to the bottom of the foot.
The great fat lawls extend nearly
two feet across. From behind the
ears to the tail is over7 feet. The
tail itself is the smallest thing in

Mayor Dillon, of New Rochelle,
N. Y, in buying shoes and rubbers
for twenty poor children in order
that they might attend school. has
furnished a suggestion for the au-
thorities of every city and town
to consider There are many
children who are kept from school
in the winter time because they do
not have shoes to wear, amp a little
public money could be wisely ex-
pended in this direction.
School books are furnished to all
children alike, and in their way
tens of thousands of children
are helped who do not need help.
1t would seem that the youngsters
who have no shoes to wear should
come in for little assistance. The
school authorities of London are
considering the proposition to fur
nish meal a day to the children
who come hungry to school, Of
whom there are many thousands in
that metropolis.
It may be noted in this con.
nection that American colleges ano
universities last year received in
donations more than $55, 900, 600

ing and day schools, in which over
1000 teachers are employed. The
work is divided, a part of each day
being spent in study and a part in
industrial work The girls are
taught to become good housekeep
ers, and are instructed in all that
pertains theretoa while the boys are
taught farming and the ordinary
industrial arts. Besides these
schools, which are situated near
the homes of the Indians, there are
several where the higher branches
and the scientific trades are taught,
such as the far-famed Carlisle
school, the Haskell institute and
the Hampton institute. Since these
were organized, a few years ago,
there have been large number of
graduates. Few have returned to
their old life, and as a result of the
practical work done in the schools
there are a number of Indians en-
ployed as teachers, cooks, matrons,
seamtresses and dsciplinarians.
Thus we see that gradually the
Indian question will be solved when
the coming generation is taught to
become self-supporting and to follow
the ordinary walks of life, the same
as their white brothers.
"There is considerable dispute
among educators as to whether our
efforts are wasted The opinion
that much of the so-called Indian
education is wasted and that the
Indian boy or girl upon returning
