HIE GOVERNORSHIP.
It is evident that the "independent" and
the democratic, newspapers of the State
have resorted to a little strategy by which
they hope to gain something .in the next
political campaign. The long prevalent
custom of "blowing one's own horn" is
becoming odious. Tiie people arc tired
of it, and the fact is painfully evident to
the entire democratic membership. They
are now seeking to popularize the idea
that a Gubernatorial candidate must be
brought out by the united acclaim of the
people, and to intensify the idea they
would make it appear that their choice is
unwilling to accept the candidacy, more
than this, that he considers himself a vic­
tim of the public interests, and if compell­
ed to accept—a sacrifice upon the altar of
political necessity. It is for this purpose
and in this light that tliey present 3Ir.
Louis E. Fisher, with so much pomp and
circumstanciality, as a candidate for Gov­
ernor. Until recently the candidates of
that party have been their own spokes­
men, and they have not succeeded, hence
this change of tactics. Hereafter they are
to b» praised for their reticence, pursua
d«d to acccpt, but studiously kept in the
background, while their virtues are to be
paraded by special spouters paid for that
purpose. Republicans, tread carefully or
you may loose a foot in this new style of
democratic trap.

LEHINOTOX, Ky., May 17—
John C.
Breckenridgc died in this city this eve­
ning of abscess of the liver,combined with
consumption. His last h-urs were quiet
and peaceful. Sunday nijxht he spent a
restless time, and sent, during the night,
for his regular physician, who adminis­
tered an opiate to the sufferer, after which
he slept until late this morning. Then he
was visited by Dr. Louis A. Say re, of
New York, who dressed the wound made
by the operation on Monday of last week.
The doctor, seeing a discharge was taking
place from the wonnd, expressed himself
iiopeful of the patient's rapid recovery
with proper attention. After this he took
some nourishment. At 3 p. in. a

alarmed. Stimulants were administered,
but without effect. He sank rapidly un­
til near 5 o'clock, when he became speech­
less. He died at 15 minutes of six. lie
was concious apparently up to within a
few minutes of death. There was no
scene no last words nothing ostenta­
tious in the manner with which the suf­
ferer met his fate. lie died as lie lived,
modest and brave. 'Die only allusion he
made to death were oace after the opera­

8ayre and Gross, when he said ho
comfortable he believed mortification
had set in. And agiia in his will, made
t'.e nest day by Mr. James B. Bi ccken in

the deceased and the desire of the family,
tlie funeral will be a modest one. It
will take place Wednesday eve, at four
o'clock.

cast a gloom over the community, where
he was much loved for many estimable
qualities.

CKIMIN'AF, I'KOCEEDIXGS BEGUN.
CHICAGO, May 17.—The internal reve­
nue officers here deny that any further
steps have been faken in the distillery
cases. It ia stated, nevertheless, to-night,
that criminal warrants have been issued
against George L. Crosby, distiller of this
city, and 1
lines & Turner, of hagetown,
Ills., and that similar warrants Will be
issued against other distillers here to-mor­
row.
MEMPHIS, May 17.—General Patterson,
collector of internal revenue of this dis­
trict, to day seized about 100 barrels of
alcohol, shipped from G. Bunsberry, of
St. Louis, to parties here, which is believ­
ed to be crooked.
The authorities at Washington have
discovered enormous frauds in connec
tion with the Distilling and rectifying
business of the country. By collusion
with the revenue officers, the large liquor
establishments have avoided the payment
of the tax levied by the government upon
their manufacturers. To so great an ex­
tent lias the fraud been curricd that the
government has been swindled out of
several millions of dollars. Late discov
cries develop the fact that a large propor­
tion of those whose duty it was to make
an honest collection of the revenue have
been eBgaged in making terms with the
whiskey men by which the government
thus shamefully cheated bat
^rollliihent is likely to be inflicted upon
them speedily. Not less than forty Liq

ST. LOUIS, May it.—Mrs. Presback,pro­
prietress of the saloon and boarding house

II. W. Lefflngweli, an old and promi­
nent citizen of Kirkwood, 12 miles from
the city, while walking his grounds, yes­
terday, discovered an old negro named
Ben applying & torch to his house. When
remonstrated with he siezed an ax and as­
sailed Mr. Leffiingwell, who retreated to
the house aid obained a shot gun. Bm
followed and insisted he would kill Leff
ingwell. He advanced to within three
feet of him with upraised weapon, when
the latter was obliged to lire in self-defense,
which he did, hitting the negro in the
shoulder and side, inflicting wounds lYom
which he died several hours after. Al­
though nearly 90 years old, Ben was a
powerful man, and for some time past has
shown signs of insanity. The coroner's
jury to-dny rendered a verdict of justifi­
able homicide.
California.
W. H. Woodbridge, a former citizen of
Minneapolis, has written to a friend in
that city, and the Tribune publishes the
letter which is dated at Santa Barbara, as
follows:
DEAR SIB:—Yours of the 2nd inst. is
before me. I have so many letters from
parties east wanting to know what I
would advise about coming to this coun­
try, that I have laid down this as my in­
variable rule to strangers and friends, and
then I have no responsibility. Never to
advise any one to come, unless they can
bring anywhere from twelve to twenty
thousand dollars, for it is a very poor
place for a poor man. The whole thing
is overrated, although the climate is very
fine. The way for jou and for everyone
who wants to know, is to come and see
for yourself. Business is very dull, and
no merchants, with but say two exceptions
are making any money. Still, if a man
can live without much money, this is a
tine place to do it, and you can loan mon
ey at high rates. Miss Allison and Judge
White and wife are here. Mr. White is
making money in real estate. Don't be­
lieve all you read or hear, but take a trip
out and see for yourself. Climate is
fine although we get some cold east
winds.
A Children'* Strike.
Fifty two female strikers, ranging from
nine to fifteen years of age, marched out
in a body from the spinning department
of the Eagle Cotton Mills, Allegheny, yes­
terday morning. The principal cause of
felt the trouble appears to be that the over-
seer of the spinning department left the
works ou Saturday to take charge of an­
other factory, and the girls became pos
sessed with the idea that he had been dis­
charged, and felt disinclined to work un­
der anew man. Some of them, however,
seemed to be dissatisfied with their wag
es. In the afternoon about a dozen from
the weaving department reinforced them.
After the strike had been begun about a
dozen boys joined. It appears that the
older children forced the younger into
the measure. The proprietors of the
works will be in most instances aided
in bringing the strikers to terms by the
parents of the latter. This, the latest and
most unexpected of strikes, caused quite
a commotion in the neighborhood of the
works.—[Pittsburg Gazette.
Serious Accident.
On last Sunday it happened that a hand
car was runuing on the track of the Lake
Superior and Mississippi railroad beyond
Hinckley, when a train was passing, and
in the hurry to "clear the track," a boy
who had been allowed on the hand car
fell in front ot it and had his leg smashed
by its passing over him. Whereupon a
reserve engine was placed in requisition
by order of the humane Superintendent
Smith, and the little sufferer taken at once
to St. Paul, to the hospital. This consid­
erate kindness of Mr. Smith enables us to
say that the accident may not prove fatal
to the child, and that even the los3 of his
leg may happily be averted.

Three Children Burned to Death.
OMAHA, Neb., May 18.—On Sunday
niglit Mr. McPherson, living eight miles
ea3t of Columbus. Neb., was away from
home visiting friends, accompauied by
his wife. They left four children at home
aged 4, 6, 12 and 14 years. During the
absence of the parents the house took fire,
and three ot the children were burned to
death. The circumstances indicate that
the fire commenced on the outside, and
must have been the work of an incendiary.

ally shot and killed under very painful cir­
cumstances. An elder brother was engag­
ed in loading a shot gun, when a neigh­
bor's boy came up and engaged in a dis­
pute with him. The dispute waxing warm
Archie's brother stood the gun against a
tree and clenched his adversary. In the
scuffle that followed the gun was knocked
down and discharged, the whole contents
being lodged in Archie's body, in the re­
gion of the heart. He died almost instant­
ly.
Anccdotcs for the Centennial.
When Layfayette was in America in 18
74, he stormed the country. He wa3 so
full of -revolutionary anecdotes that he
overflowed the parties given in his honor.
At ouc of these parties, in Washington
city, he said that "Knyphausen, the Hes­
sian general that commanded the mercena­
ry troops in the British service, when on
his passage 'to crush the rebellion,' became
greatly annoyed at the time consumed in
the voyage. Finally, lie approached the
captain and asked if it was not possible
that the ship might have sailed past Amer­
ica in the night!" Lafayette said that the
American General Lord Sterling was the*
vainest man who ever lived that on one
occasion when a soldier, who had been
condemned to be shot, was passing Sterl­
ing's tent on his way to execution, exclaim­
ed "Lord! pardon me, O Lord! pardon
me!"—a prayer addressed to the deity, and
Sterling, starting up, exclaimed: "I'll be
d—il if I do!" He said that during the
revolutionary war a party of Pennsylvania
liorsc and a party of scouting Indians sur
prised each other, and that such was their
conversation that they ran away, each par­
ry running 300 miles before stopping. Col,
Gradon, the Pennsylvania officer, states the
same thing in his "Memoirs," a work that
should be reprinted. There were more
children named for Lafayette than any man
in America.

AFFLICTED KANSAS.
ST. LOUIS. May 18.—A Kansas City
special says the farmers from various
parts of Jackson and Clay counties con­
tinue to bring news of the ravages of
grasshoppers. The grass has been des­
troyed, and wheat and oats suffered terri­
bly. The only salvation is their depar­

Three Points for Consideration.
During the past five years the VKtiETINK
has been steadily working itself into publio
favor, and those who were at first moat in­
credulous in regard to its merits are now its
most ardent friends and supporters.
There are three esaential causes for those
having *uoh a horror of pateut uiedicinca,
changing their opinion and lending their in­
fluence toward the advancement of VEGG
TINE. 1st—It is an honestly-prepared med­
icine from barks, roota and herbs. 2d—It
honestly accomplishes all that is claimed for
it, without leaving any bad effeots in the sys­
tem. 3d—It presents honest vouchers in tes­
timonials from honest, well-known citizens,
whose signatures are a sufficient guarantee
ot their earnestness in the matter. Taking
into consideration the vast quantity of medi­
cine brought conspicuously before the publio
through the flaming advertisements in the
newspaper columns, with no proof of merit or
genuine vouchers of what it has done, we
should be pardoned for manifesting a small
degree of pride in presenting the following
testimonial from Rev. J. S. DICKEKSON,
D. I)., the popular and ever genial pastor of
the South Baptist Church, Boston:
The Tired Bcdy Sues for Sleep.

H. R. STKTBKS, E»Q.:
bear Sir—It is as much from a sense of
duty as of gra'itude that I write to say that
your VEtfBTIS E—even if it is a patent med­
icine—bar been of great help to me wheu
nothing else seemed to avail which I could
aafely use. Either excessive mental work or
unusual care brings upon mo a nervous ex­
haustion that desperately needs sleep, but as
desperately defieb it. Might after night the
poor, tired body suesrfor sleep until the day
dawn is welcomed back, ana we begin our
work tired out with an almost fruitless chase
ater rest. Now 1 have found that a littlo
TEGET1SE taken just before I retire gives
me sweet and immediate sleep, and without
any of the evil effects of the usual narcotics.
1 th nk two things would tend to make brain
workers sleep. 1st— A little less work. 2d—
A little mora Vegetiae. This prescription has
helped mo.
Mow I have a particular horror of "patent
medicine," but 1 have a greater horror of be­
ing afraid to .ell the straight out truth. The
YLtiETIKE has helped uie, and 1 own it up.
