conscience. And the election officers
who knowingly swear to false election
returns have not q good conscience.
Such men are base corrupers of the
public conscience. They are criminals
in the eyes of the civil law. They are
enemies Of their country.
''From all that is being said in our
community, we have great reason to
fear that political decency and honesty
have been terribly outraged in the re-
cent election. Instead of making light
of this mort serious matter and instead
of passing it by in jesting manner, as
many are disposed to do, for myself l
feel more like weeping for the shame
that has come to my country and my
countrymen.
would rather have man steal my
money than my vote. By health and
industry I can replace the money. But
by no process known to me can l re-
store my vote when it is once stolen.
The stealing of it deprives me of repre-
sentation in my government, and places
me at the mercy of the rogues who have
constituted themselves my master.
While am proud to be an American
citizen and while l rejoice in the Amer
lean republic, yet if can not be repre-
sented in my government by the hon
est casting and counting of my vote,
then | prefer monarchy to a republic.
''In Wv of the evils which confront
our free, representative government, it
becomes all good citizens, irrespective
of party, to stand together for pure
ballot-box. A fair vote and an honest
count should be the desire and the de-
mand of every true, patriotic American
citizen.
''All good citizens should further de-
mand and endeavor to secure the pun
ishment of those who have violated the
election laws. Such persons should
not be immune to justice. In so far as
they have violated the law and in pro-
portion to their crimes, they should be
punished as we'll as the burglar or the
murderer.
"All good citizens should be indie
pendent voters. Irrespective of the de-
mands of political bosses they should
vote for the men whom they believe
will make the best officials. For long
years this has been my practice, and by
the help of God will persevere in it
until my citizenship here shall end for
a better one beyond the skies"

From Butte to Boston.

"My heart beats like the music of

"My strong and sensitive nerves are

modest expression of prudish fancy,
but as the American is a religious and

of her anatomical Investigations, Mary,
with charming naivete, relates in her
warm, red book that the sight of half
dozen tooth brushes, the property of
six members of her family, threw her
into rage, not because of anything
toothbrushes had done, but because OF
their "obviousness" aud their painful
suggestion of the "pitiable, barren,

Electrocution is Not Always Deadly.

New York, Aug. 16. F. A. Stratton,
vice-president of the Electric Company,
in Westchester county, this state, says
the murderers sentenced to die in the
electric chair are frequently not killed
by the electric current and that they
would be buried alive if it were not for
the autopsy which follows the electro
cution. Mr.. Stratton says;
NEARLY every week We have linemen
shocked by higher voltage currents
than are used in the electric chair at
Sing Sing, yet they come around all
right after few days treatment. This
being the case, it is probable that some
of the murderers who are sentenced to
the electric chair could be resuscitated
if they had prompt medical attention
and the same care that is given one Of
our linemen when he meets with an &C
cident. 1 have often thought that {
great many people who are supposed tc
have been electrocuted are really buri
ed alive"

Many are not being benefited by the
summer vacation as they should be.
Now, Notwithstanding much outdoor
life, they are little if any stronger than
they were. The tan on their faces is
darker and makes them look healthier,
but it is only a mask. They are still
nervous, easily tired, upset by trihes,
and they do not eet nor sleep we'll.
What they need is what tones the
nerves, perfects digestion, creates ap-

DIED AFTER LONG ILLNESS.
Hon. ROderlck Random Butler Passes
at His Home at Mountain City.

Mountain City, Aug. 1O.-Hon. r. r.
Butler, who has been declining in
health for the past year, died at his
residence at 10 o'clock last night, at the
age of rs years.
Judge Butler had represented the
First senatorial district in the legisla-
ture for number of years and was a
member at the time of his death. He
has been prominent in politics for the
past fifty years, during which time he
was congressman from the First Ten
nessee district ten years.
The remains will be inferred in
Mountain View Cemetery tomorrow af-
ternoon and will be conducted by the
Masonic Lodge of this place.
Judge r. r. Butler has been con-
spicuous character in public life in
Tennessee for over forty years. He
was native of Wytheville, Va, and
came to Tennessee when boy. He
was apprenticed to a tailor when IA
years of age, and attained what educa-
tion he had through his own efforts.
That he was industrious is shown by
the fact that he was admitted to the bar
in 1862, and for several years practiced
law with success. Before the war he
was wEig, during the war a union
man and since republican. He was the
first whig postmaster at Taylorsville,
near Mountain City, having been COM
missioned by President Fillmore. He
was q major in the Tennessee militia
before he was 81 years old. In 1856 he
was elected county Judge. He enlisted
III the Thirteenth Tennessee and was
commissioned lieutenant-colonel by
Andrew Johnson, then war governor.
Judge Butler was delegate to the
Baltimore national convention, and
voted for Lincoln and Johnson; was q
member of the constitutional conven-
tion of 1865; chairman of the first state
republican executive committee in Ten
nessee; a delegate to the border states
convention at Baltimore; and a delegate
to three national republican conven-
tions. Judge Butler was Judge of the
First judicial circuit from 1865 to 1867,
but resigned to go to congress, repre-
senting his district in the Fortieth and
four subsequent congresses. He served
twenty-four years in the Tennessee
legislature in house and senate and
could, it seems, have continued TO &c
to the legislature indefinitely.
Judge Butler was bitter partizan
cordially hated politically and ever
personally by some, but he had many
warm peral friends among democrats
who knew his better side.

Railroad Activity in Kentucky.

General railway systems are arrang-
ing to extend through Kentucky and
Virginia mountains to develop the coal
fields. That the Southern had its eye
on the Kentucky fields has been known
for months, and now it is learned that
the Seaboard Air Line is quietly max
ing its way into the mountains of Vir-
ginia. This system, it is said, has pur-
chased short line in Wise county, Va,
running out of Wise Court House, The
company has also made big land pur-
chase in Wise county, Va, and in Leo
county, Ky. The sum paid is unknown,
but it amounts to considerable; and in
addition to these purchases, others of a
minor nature have been made.
The railroad also has an engineering
corps in the Cumberland mountains, in
Virginia. Chesapeake & Ohio had a
corps of engineers at Pound Gap, on
the Kentucky border The Indian
River Railroad has just completed q
line from Norton to Middlesboro, KY,
and the Virginia Coal & Coke Company
has built line into the Kentucky Goa
fields. The Virginia & Southwestern
railroad has made extensions from Big
Stone Gap.
The Southern Railway is still busy a.
Harlan, KY. In addition to develop
ing the Harlan fields, the roads may
build from Beattyville to Middlesboro
and thereby make connection will
their road, which runs from Knoxville
to Middlesboro. Louisville & Nash
