Lowest Telegraph Rates.

Spelling reform has had a new and
important development in direction
which no one has heretofore thought
of. In Europe messages are charged
for according to the number of letters,
instead of words, as in this country.
All transatlantic messages from
America are. charged for by letter in
accordance with the European system.
The adoption of spelling reform will
cause modification of the schedules
of the international Geographic COM
panies, and the consequent saving of
money. For example, thru will have
to be charged for as four letters in
stead of six, as formerly, and SO on
through the entire list. It will cause
no trouble to the operators, because
they for years have been using the
shortest form by which words could
be spelled without possibility of mis-
take. Consequently they will have
nothing new to learn. .

National Department of Health.

The plea made by Prof Norton of
Yale university for a national depart
ment of health is not to be ignored,
remarks the Troy Times. Yale has
taken up the matter, and other insti-
tutions and men of high professional
standing are giving attention. A bull
letin put forth by Yale's department
of social science reminds the Ameri-
can people that the four causes of
waste of human life and energy are
preventable Death, preventable sick
ness, preventable conditions of low
physical and mental efficiency and pre-
ventable ignorance, and urges action
by the people through the government
to check this waste Prof. Norton as
serts that not less than 100000 lives
can be saved in the United States an
nual1y by the employment of proper
means, and he puts the economic side
of the question in almost startling
form. Estimating wages at one dollar
per day, which no doubt is far below
the average, the professor shows that
the yearly loss by Illness is consider
ably over $1,000,00O,000, while by the
methods proposed at least half this
sum could be saved. In an era notable
for the economizing of force, that is a
statement to compel serious thought.

Success and Failure.

Peary failed to reach the North
Pole, but he got nearer to that elusive
proposition than any other of the
numerous explorers who have tried to
penetrate to that arctic region that
has been so hong an undiscovered coun-
try. He was within 191 miles of the
pole, short distance from the point
desired, If the transportation in the
frozen north were equal to our own In
the matter of speed over good rail-
roads. Peary beat the record OF Capt.
Cagni of the Italian Duke 0f AbruzM
expedition by over SO miles, and is to
be praised for his persistency and
courage, but, nevertheless, many are
asking what particular good has been
accomplished by his efforts? Even II
he had reached the regions where 1t
is claimed there are 100000 square
miles of unoccupied territory, would
this have been of any benefit to hui

tending settlersever get there through
the icy barriers that would oppose
:heir progress on all sides? Possibly
in the distant future, modern invent
iNeness might be able to make Jour
neving to the pole comparatively easy,
so that even excursion parties might
go there on pleasure trips, but at pres
ent this seems to be as little likely of
realization as would be "a trip to Mars
on a dying machine. However, man is
an inquiring animal, and is always
wanting to eat of the tree of know
ledge, and if only his curiosity would
be gratified by the invasion Of the
North Pole, there would be some ad-
vancement made in developing the
spirit Of enterprise without which
there is no progress in any acknow-
lodged practical direction. Science
would be benefited by the discovery, if
nothing else came from it for the pros
perity of mankind. Peary has not at
tanned the summit of his ambition,
but that will not discourage others
from trying to Guido him. His exam
pie will encourage them to venture
farther than he did, for as he followed
others he will have, no doubt, many
successors. The best solace that Peary

In this issue appears the author
lied announcement of Hon. j. Will
CLAY for reelection as Representa-
tive from this the Ninetieth Legis-
lative District of Kentucky, subject
to the action of the Democratic
primary on November 9th next.
A man like Mr.. Clay needs mel
ther eulogy nor introduction at Our
hands. His life is before you,
Born and raised in Montgomery
county, he is widely known. He
ranks among our most successful
farmers and business men. He has
already served one term and the
honest, dignified and capable man
ner in which he discharged his du-
ties reflected credit not only upon
him. but upon his constituency.
His service upon some of the most
important committees of the lower
house is evidence of the high esteem
in which he was held. He is ac-
commodating. and his genial per-
sonality makes him deservedly
popular. This is the only political
honor he ever asked, although he
has always been an earnest party
worker. Mr.. Clay's friends insist
he is entitled to an endorsement at
the hands of the Democracy of
Montgomery county. His past
experience makes his services
doubly valuable in the next session
as party standard-bearer.

MUST GO.

The Sun-Sentinel, Winchester,
in referring to editors troubles,
says:
Editors are not better or worse
than other people. If they violate
the law, they should be punished,
but in these cases the gentlemen
aggrieved have undertaken to in
tfict punishment and possibly death
without any process of law. We
decry against the censorship of the
press in foreign countries while a
censorship is tolerated in our own
free country. that is absolutely bru-
tai. If this is to continue. we had
just as well admit that law has
ceased to be effective. and return
TO the old barbaric custom of fight
ing it out"
This declaration on the part of
Editor Perry was prompted by re-
cent occurrences at Mt. Sterling,
Carlisle and jackson. where at only
one place did the editor suffer more
than violence which comes with a
state of uneasiness.
