There is one thing: more confusingto the American people than the spelling and pronunciation of Chinese names. That is the Chinese war news. There was a time when the Chinese armies v.-hipj)ed oil their enemies by hurling stench balls at them and uttering dis cordant and bloodcurdling shrieks. It is evident that some of the old time traditions and superstitions yet linger in the modern warlike Chinese breast. The high authorities of the nation seem to believe they can throw dust in the eyes of Europe and America of the nineteenth century by publishing thrilling accounts of great Chinese victories wholly made up from the imagination. The New York Democrats have nominated David B. Hill for Governor of New Yark, for Levi P. Morton to defeat. The Democrat will throw a bomb into the Democratic camp in this county before long that will cause the faithful to scatter. Whether a rich man deserves to be scolded and abused bwause of his money depends on how he got it and the use he makes of it. One of the stockholders in a Deim cratic newspaier in this city is dead, and the other stockholders in the same concern will not live long enough to realize anything on their investment. During eight years of Free Trade in England there was an increase of 5.7 per cent in population, yet there was a decrease of 42.8 per cent in the product of the English farms because Free Trade enabled the farmers of other countries to supply the markets. The English people bought $125,000, 000 more of farm products from for eign countries in 1893 than they bought in 1!?8). This was under Free Trade. The Gorman Tariff has placed more than twenty farm products on the free list. How do the American farmers like the prospects' They are Not Harmonious. The Democrats of this county are having some trouble about their can didates. They are not sticking to gether. Thev do not display that brotherly love that is becoming good politicians and polite gentlemen. Some will say that this man ought to be nominated while others will say no; he has had office long enough he never did anythingfor the party except hold office. Byrd township wants to name all the nominees and the other townships are kicking. Cape Girar deau township wants to have a finger in the pie, and if our young and stal wart Democrats down here are not allowed to do some of the dictating the devil will be to pay. They are going to the convention next Saturday as full of patriotism as a tramp is full of body lice. They are city chaps blooded dudes, and they will expect, the young and old country yaps to tip their hats to them. They are going into that Democratic gathering of the hosts determined to rule the roost or quit business. Some of them say that before they will submit to being ruled any longer by the ignorant country hoosiers they will commit the awful crime of votingtneitepuDiican ucKeu Henry English, who has held office so long that his hair is getting gray, seems to be one of the stumbling blocks in the way. The Jackson Democrats sav he is the only man that can oe nominated who wijl have a ghost of a show of being elected. To this the Cape Democrats say, "You be d d." They have, they say. a worthy and competent young man in this city, who can come as nea. being elected as Henry English can, and they propose to offer him to the convention for nomination. Congressman Arnold has '.xx a iaJ vited to aduress the faithful at Jack son next Saturday. Hi wtll lie silked to explain why it is that so jr.;my re publicans are handling . -.vjuil lt;s ir. his District and more especiitlly in this county.

Next Week the County nmpalirii Will Open. The Democrats will nominate their county ticket Saturday and then the three parties will bo ready to tlu battle. The Fair will oien next Tues day and all the candidates will use the Fair grounds for a hand shaking place. They will meet the peple there early and late and the week will be one for hard political work. The Demo crats ' kre down in the mouth because of their political weakness but they are going to put on bold fatvs for ap pearand sake if for nothing else, in the vain hope of trying to make the Republicans and Populists b-lieve that they think they have some show of electing their ticket. The DEMOCRAT will take a hand in the canvass as soon as the Democrats put their ticket in the held. Until then the enemy will be out of sight. b'rom this :: the annual p.ivade of the G. A.

Year by year, as the old boys close up ranks l g.tps. Da column b.HJOiues shorter. There is nothing new in politics in this county just now. The Democrats are out in the brush trying to scare out men who are brave enough to ac cept a Democratic nomination. So far they have been unable to find but two who are willing to sacrifice them selves for the good of the party. One of them resides in Jackson and would like to fill the office of Prosecuting Attorney. The other gentleman is a resident of this city. He says he is not hankering after office but he will accept the nomination for Presiding Judge of the County Court. Hon. Y. F. Aldrich is the owner of extensive coal mines near Birming ham. Ala. There has never been a strike among his employees. Even during the troubled times of the past summer all was peaceful and serene among his miners. A feeling of the utmost kindliness, with mutual good wishee for prosperity, has always ex isted between Mr. Aldridh and his men. One reason for the peaceable time which they have is parhaps a certain rule which Mr. Aldrich en- forces rigidly. It is that whenever there is any disturbance or quarrel of any kind both parties are immediately discharged without any investigation. Mr. Aldrich thinks there are enough men who will not quarrel to fill all the places in his .mines. The enforcement of this rule is said to have worked all the toughs out of the neighborhood. iieuilcnl KoiK tlon. A French chemist iias lately made some investigations in a field not hitherto so thoroughly explored as many others, and from them he draws the conclusion that chetr.icni reaction cannot oecnr b -iwon i- degees sinu 150 degrees.

If nitric idstead of sulphuric acid is used in such experiments, the tem perature where reaction begins seems to l)e lowered in every case. lie Had No Ambition. 'Now. boys," said the professor to the history class. "I trust you are all filled with a burning ambition to achieve fame and leave lx'hind you such names as did Jefferson and Jack son and Lincoln, and" Johnny Jones: "Huek-uh! Don't want to he none of that kind" "What! . Don't you want to be famous so that those who come after can point with pride" "Oh. that's all right, professor, but I don't want every blamed upstart and blatherskite and wind punier of the future to get up and bawl his double entry nonsense on all sides of all questions, and say, 'I stand upon the eternal principles of the immortal John Jones. ' No. sir! No Jefferson and Jackson and Lincoln business for me." Cleveland Plain Dealer. They Don't Have to be Paiscd. The editor of the Jackson Cask-Book is fretting himself half to death because the Democrat is not praising the nominees Of the Republican party in this county. The Republicans have nominated men who need no words of praise. The people know them and they know too, that better men could not be found in .the county to fill the offices for which they are nominated. 1 WORLD'S GREATEST SHSfflS.
