' The Florida season has begun, but we
are waiting for a blizzard in the nortil
to blow our doors open.
The one favorable view to take of the epU
demicof murderous brawls that are disgrac
ing Yancey county is that unless checked
soon it may rid the county of the ruf
. fianly ' element, for finally all who are not
dead will' be in jail or fleeing to some re
mote locality.
Kentucky politics are past finding out.
The past is no criterion for the future
. and the only think shown conclusively by
' the figures of the recent election is that
the voting privilege was not this year held
in high esteem. Official returns show thai
. the democratic plurality is 17,804, which i:
916 short of a majority. The total demo
cratic vote is .30,408 short of Bryan's,
and the republican 48,493 less than Mc-'-
Kinley IPalmer's vote was 5,114, bu ; the

TOPICS OP TODAY.
LLln rernomlnaJtln '. Mr. iDaniel.for . the
senate, Virginia evinces a determination
on the part of the democracy of thattstate
to stand on the -lines laid down-in the Chi
cago platform. There is no. going back
ward. In fact, 'Mr. Daniels has been one
of' the mos't uncompromising advocates of
the free and unlimited coinage of Silver
and has been bitterly fought in "his own
state on that account. But he has ridden
over o position and received ; the unani
mous vote of the democratic caucus. Mr.
Daniel's splendid ability, of course, con
tributed to his victory. The south and
Virginia are honored by the-7 success of
such statesmen. 'knoxvitie Sentinel.
The Washington Post truthfully ob
serves that the cotton planters cannot dis
cern much difference between the Cleve
land "depression"' and the McKinley
"boom." lAnd the Philadelphia 'Record ob
serves with some degree of sauciness:
They ae obliged -to. sell a great part of
their crop as low as 4 .1-8 cents a pound
which is said to be below the cost of pro
duction. Representative Livingston, of
Georgia, lately said thait it would be hard
to convince the Georgia farmer that ..the
present administration had brought them
anything but negro postmasters, "if this
be true, it is hard to understand why 1&e
patriotic Mr. Dingley mad dollar wheat
for the Kansas farmer and forgot to give
the Georgia farmer , a good price for his
cotton. This is anvx unpardonable1 over
sight or sectlonalisnt of "the lowest type.
Augusta is one of the few cities where
corrupt practices in elections exist, re
marks the Knoxville 'Sentinel. Tom Wat
son showed up a thing or two with regard
to that. But" there are plenty of places in
the northern! states where similar or
v
worse conditions exist, and they have not
the ignorant and purchasable negro
voters to deal with as we have. There
are counties in Tennessee where corrup
tion is habitually practiced, but they are
not many. Taking all in all elections in
the south are as fairly conducted as any
where in the country. It is because Au
gusta is such an exception that it is so
much talked about. However, Knoxville,
itself, is soon to have a city election and
it would be well for both parties to guard
against any such methods as those adopted
in the Georgia city. It is no credit to it
abroad and the better element ought to
frown down such things. iBut, Knoxville
is usually free from such imputation.
TART AND APPETIZING.
Many a dog has his picture because
he can't help it. ,
The more some women: dtess up the
worse they look:
Nothing draws, a better crowd than
a church trial. .
. The wajr to get.a secret out of a man
is by pretending- not to want to know.
. The majority of people never send a
telegram except when somebody dies.
Usually the people who never see a
good show kick worst on a poor one.
We like strangers who come in
whistling real loud to show that they
are not afraid.
A bicyclist with his pants tucked in
with clamps looks so pretty that he
goes around that way half the time.

white pants pretends to do it because
he doesn't care for looks, but often he
has only one of a kind. Washington

JESTS OF THE TABLE.
A resident in Elizabeth, N. J., says
the mosquitoes are growing so bony
that they are hardly fit for food.
"It seems vei strange," said Barn
stormer, "that wnen an egg isn't good
for anything else ittgoes on the stage."
fehe "If these mushrooms are poi
sonous what will become of me?" He
""That depends on the liferou have
led.".
The reason, why weeds grow faster
than the corn is explained' by a wise old
gardener. The . weeds are the natural
children of the soil, while the vegetables
are only stepchildren.
A visitor to the kitchen of the Reform
club said to Alexis Soyer, the chef de
cuisine: "Your female attendants are
all very pretty." "Yes,", said , the chef.
