They conveniently ignored the circumstances that through out Cleveland's former term the country was under Republican laws, the Republican Senate forming nn effectual barrier te Free-trado nnd ethor obnoxious legislation. As a matter of fact the nrgument that the Natien prospered with Cleveland ns President was an argument in favor of Republican rules which Cleveland during that brief period was powerless te break down. It is a ludicrous spectacle te see the slanderers and caluminaters of Re publican Government thrown into con sternation en being taken nt their word. They are net unnaturally sur prised that the peeple believed their concoctions, but they shrink from the task of weaving their Actions into law. Free-traders who think that the late election has seuuded the ''.eath knell of Protection nnd that the Re publican party will abandon its defense are guilty of egregious felly. Pro tection as in issue nn American politics cannot die fe long ns n party exists pledged te the downfall of American industry nnd the degradation of the American home. The "glorious" Democratic victory ha3 been wen by deception, fraud and falsehood. The majority are still Pro tectionists, net ns pledged te this schedule or te that law, but as defenders of the American workshop, of the Americnn werklngman, of this mag nificent home market of ours against foreign capital and foreign competition. This is net the first reverse that Protection has suffered at the polls. It went down In 1844 before exactly the same iniquitous methods by which Freo Free trade has gained its present triumph. Exulting Democrats will de well te remember that that experience with their policy led te the longest and most undisturbed period of Protection the country ever had. It is because these lessens, new remote In time, have lest their force for this gouerntlen that the Free-trade victory of 1802 was made possible. A Singular Case. A special from Georgetown te The Louisville Times tells of a queer freak of nature as follews: A curious freak of nature has taken place in the person of n young man named Jenes, aged twenty-two years, living at Stamping Ground, Scott county. About two years nj,'e he complained of a severc pain in his left shoulder and arm te the elbow. lie suffered intensely for several months, when the part affected began te change color until it became a dark brown, and at. the same time the pain diminished until it finally ceased, when it was noticed (this was about a year age) that a thick growth of brown hair had made its appearance en the brown or discolored parts extending from the el bow te the cellar bone, covering the sheuldcrblndc, nnd nt this time the hair is ever nn inch in length, the pain bus entirely disnppcnred nnd the young mnn has almost twice the strength in that nrm thnt he has in the ether. It is a singular case and Is nttinctlug the nttentien of some of our local physicians. A body of vigilantes In Texas, wBe hed become wearied of continual depre dations by outlaws, says a correspond ent of the New Yerk Telegram, beard of a band of armed men prowling along the river and went te leek after them. The outlaws were followed across the river into the Indian Territory, and in a 'dense thicket near Gelden Bluff they were rounded up. A line of pickets was placed around the thicket, bat dur ing the night the outlaws slipped be tween the lines and escaped te the Texas side, carrying with them the body f of a wounded comrade named Oepcland. A few nights later a party of vigi lantes went te Cepcland's heuse and found his young wife there, and by feigning te knew his whereabouts deceived her. One of the party pre tended te knew his biding place, and by accident Btartcd in the direction where Copeland was secreted. The woman followed, and In her anxiety te save her husband rushed te the spot where he lay hid in the forks of a large oak tree. In spite of her entreaties her husband was placed en a horse and carried away te his deem. It was as bright a moon light night eTmdrtal man ever gazed upon when that band of grim regula ters crept through the shadows of the forests of that hilly country, taking from the heart-broken wife the deemed husband. They wound along the nar row pathway that led down the aide of the hill, with no sound except the monotonous tramp of the feet of horses and men and the rustle of satemn leaves that lay thickly upon the ground. Finally a halt was called, the rope was adjusted around the outlaw's neck, and the horse upon which he was sit ting given aaharp blew, and his life lass form left dangling in the air.

AN ODD EXHIBIT. ;A 'yoaael Leaded with, Outtoaitlea from' the Interior. 8em Rr Old Relics from lltotert llattleflelds fend Vegetable nd Mlnaral rrodaeU or V 0 rieun State. The handsome schooner-rigged ves sel, City of Clinten, has arrived in Chi cago, after soiling down the Tennessee and up the Illinois and Mississippi rivers, laden with a flne exhibit of curiosities and specimens for the world's fair. The beat was built at Clinten, Andersen county, up among the moun tains, and floated down the Clinten river te the Tennessee The work of collecting the cargo was a difficult ene. Many curious and Interesting war relics and mineral and weed products were te be found, but the people were loath te part with them. One piece of an old tree, en which Daniel Beene cut his name in 1754, was only obtained niter a one thousand dollar bend had been signed for its safe return after the fair. The products brought Include specimens of granite, polished and rough, onyx, Iren ere, corals, stalactite and stalagmite formations, and seme choice specimens of southern weeds. These' include black oak, maple, curly poplar, sassafras, curly chestnut, black walnut, satlnwoed, mahogany and gopher weed, such as built Neah's nrk. There are also seme rase old relics from the battlefield of Chicknmauga whiffle trees,old bits and exploded shells. There is the pistol and hat of Joe Will iams, the notorious moenshlnor, with thirteen holes In it a hole for every man he shot The City of Clinten is a graceful soiling craft, sixty feet ten inches in length, by seventeen feet four Inches beam, with masts and sails that can be lowered en deck when net required. The Interior is elegantly fitted up and paneled in choice weeds. Capt. Ucttcs and a boy named Jee Ceyle sailed the vessel alone and kept up canvas for one thousand nine hundred miles of the voyage. The ether three hundred miles were made by towing. PRISONS FROM ALL NATIONS. They Will De Illustrated In the Bureau of Charities ad Correction!. Net the least interesting study at the world's fair will be the exhibit in the liberal arts department under the di rection of Superintendent Roaeneu, of the bureau of charities and corrections Te the great majority of mankind it can be happily said that the convict's cag-0 and the dark prison walls of so se called houses of correction are like bad dreams and vague nightmares. The life of the French galley slave as seen through the lines of Victer Huge's "Lcs Mlscrables" Is a plcture that can never be effaced from the mind of a sympathetic reader. The very name bridewell, Tombs or penitentiary carries with it a feeling of dread and the thought of punishment rather than that of correction or charity. Man is advancing, however, and his Ideals, if net his actions, are approaching nearer te the time of universal brotherhood. In developing the exhibit of penology it is the aim of Mr. Rosenau te show the advancement mode with the growth of civilization from the days of early history down te the present time; ad vancement In the manner of handling truant members of society. Visitors te the fair can take their choice between burning at the stake, which seems since the discovery of fire te have been the favorite method of capital punish ment up te the time Chala Ekke made the first rope, or being electrocuted after the manner of Kemmler. It's all the same thing in the end. Illustrations of pfisen cells In Siberia will be placed side by side with these of Joliet and Sing Sing. JAPANESE ATTRACT ATTENTION Curious Crowds Watching the Workmen from the Land of the Mlknde. The Japanese workmen who are building the Japanoie village en the north end of the island within the world's fair grounds attract a great deal of attention from the visitors. There are eighteen mechanics from the land of the mikade and a civil engineer. They have the framework for the vil lage all in place. Right In the center of the proposed village Is a short pole with a bunch of rice paper strips float ing from it. When the men began te work they went through a cere mony te drive away the evil spirit from their labors. The pole with the papers is intended te divert his attention from the mechanics in case he should wander around there. The Japs evidently saw an American level for the first time at the fair grounds. They have net yet tired of admiring the way in which the imple ment indicates whether a surface is level or plumb. The head carpenter get held of it and placed it under a box. Then he ordered one of the men te put chips underneath the ends of the box until the level Indicated that the box presented a level upper surface. Then he carefully scrutinized the result and smiled all ever te see hew easily the level did the work. Fer nearly an hour he kept testing It en everything at hand. A Snake Charmed by Hells. A Denisen (Tex.) dispatch says; Mrs. D. M. Madden is a lady of nerve. Yesterday afternoon, her little girl Mary, aged two years, was seated en the ground under a tree playing with a tin hoop, te whleh were attached bells. The noise of the bells attracted a large blacksnake, which crawled te the feet of the child and stretched at full length, writh its head resting en her left feet. The Jingle of the bells seemed te charm it, for the snake closed Its eyes and was motionless. Mrs. Madden saw the snake. She did net scream for assistance, aa most women would have done under the circum stance. She darted te the child, grabbed the snake by the tail and hti'-lcl U tlinuch th? ar.
