Ruble War news between China and Japan gives the Japanese troops a big victory at Ping Yang. The Chinese army was surprised by an attack in the rear, and lost 16,000 men. We would advise the democratic committee to keep a wide-open eye on the republicans. They are the fellows in this county we have to fight this year. The populists are not “in it” as you will see this fall when the votes are counted. The McKinley bill gave the Lou- isiana sugar growers a bounty of $12,000,000 a year to grow sugar cane. A democratic congress put a stop to this robbery of the United States treasury and tax-payers, and now the benficiaries of this robbery in Louisiana,not the farmers, threat- en to vote the republican ticket. Poor old Pierce. He has been “a war horse” now in two political parties, and his cup of empty honors should be about full to overflowing; but the burning desire of his life, te stand at the pie counter, is always just out of his reach. Poor Pierce. “Poor Old War Horse.” Every candidate on the democratic ticket from coroner to congressman is worthy the united and undivded support of the party. No better men could have been placed upon the ticket and it is the duty of all democrats to give these gentlemen their vote and earnest and conscien- tious support. Go to work and talk for the ticket and on election day go to the polls and vote the ticket atraight. This year, democrats, do your whole duty and victory is at hand. THAT ASYLUM OUTRAGE. The Winfield (Kan.) Daily Courier gives a detailed account of the hor- Insane Asylum, by the Superinten- dent of that institution. The opera- tiens performed upon these poor un- fortunate boys by this burly brute, in human form, is the most horrible that can be conceived by the human mind, and one which the law makers of the past have never had the heart to employ as a punishment of the most hardened criminals. This monster has the hardihood to justify his heartless and fiendish acts on the plea of economy—that it saved the price of an attendant to each boy operated upon. It is fur- ther alleged that Gov. Lewelling, who 18 responsible for the appoint- ment of this man to tbis important place, was aware of these horrible practices and approved them, and he stands convicted by the fact that he retains this monster iu charge of the Asylum. Is it possible that these people have no conception of the sacredness of the care of our poor and insane. Even here in Bates county,when the populist came into power, among discharge a worthy and competent widow lady from the superinten- dency of the poor farm and appoint- ed a man superintendent. who after- wards became engaged in a scandal with female inmates, the facts of which was publiehed at the time in the Times. One of the most sacred duties which devolves upon the state is the care of its insane. The very best medical talent should be secured and the most humane treatment accord- edthem. Such a misfortune might befall any of our loved ones, when we would wish them to receive the most tender and affectionate care. What would be the state of our minds if we knew they were to be horribly maltreated and abused by a drunken and brutal superintendent. If Col. Pace is guilty of malfeas- ance in office he should be made amenable to the law. But we would want stronger proof than the word or even the affidavit of a discharged employee. If Mr. Belt knew of any irregularities in the conduct of the penitentiary by the warden he should have reported them at the time the crime was committed, and not wait until he was discharged for incompetency and disrespect, thus showing that his motives were for revenge, and not for the good of the rible mutilation of eleven unfortunate | boys confined in the Kansas State | the first acts they committed was to | The report of the joint discussion jat Eldorado Springs, Mo., is that | DeArmond and Mr. Lewis discussed the lending issues of the day. ably and forceably, from their different standpoints, while Mr. Francisco put in most of his time abusing | Judge DeArmond.

This is undoubt- edly of great interest to the farmers in this county who had, under the jimpression that they had a valid stock law, permitted their fences to run down aud were consequently left at the merey of their neighbors stock when it was discovered that the law was not valid. Judge Boxley has iemonstrated that he is the true frieud tothe farmer on more than one occasion, and they usually show their appreciation at the polis Breckinridge Man Carved. Lexingtov, Ky. Sept 16.—While discussing the primary to-night, Edward Roth became involyed in a quarrel with James McQueen and was literally cut to pieces. When they came together McQueen drew a razor and jumped on Roth's back, the cut begining at the neck and ex tending to the end of the spinal column. He then cut off two of Roth’s fingers, and finished up by artistically clipping off his left ear doctor arrived. Dr. Falconer took 57 stitches in his body. Breckinridge man and percipitated | the row by saying that Owens was a gambler and tnat McQueen was the | same sort as the man he voted for. It is feared that Roth will die. | Senator Peffer says in an inter organization. Roth almost bled to death before a Roth is a | ous trial and throughout the heated campaign, has won. Mr. Settle, who has never been considered a formidable issue in the campaign, cut but little figure in the} primaries outside his own county. In those counties where the feel- ing was most bitter, notably Bour- bon, Franklin and Woodford, money flowed like water, and the combined expense of the day is placed by many at $100,000. In Fayette County at several of the polls there were fights, but cool-headed men prevent- ed the use of revolvers. ‘Throughout the entire district there were prob ably 100 or more men injured. In Bourbon County Judge Can- trill’s injunction prevented the elec- tion officers from forcing doubtful voters to take the oath to support the nominee. In Oldham, Owen, Woodford, Henry and Fayette this rule was enforced, but in Franklin it did not work Breckioridge was prominent on the streets all day, and at the Breck- inridge Club House to-night he heard the reading of the latest bulletins No election or other occasion ever caused such a general suspension of business. For months the district has been agitated in the most bitter personal agitation. It was not a political, not even a factional fight. It was a moral contest for weeks and months, and during the last few days it became intensely personal, 80 much so that the nomination was not the only issue. Col. Breckinridge was fighting for life,and he never before made such speeches or dis- played such executive ability in He marshaled every man he could command, but he could not command the women. They had ne votes, but they were the control- ling element in the file. Georgetown. Ky., Sept. 16.—The peop'e of Georgetown have not ceased celebrating the triumph of their honored fellow-citizen in the Congressional primary election yes- terday All day Mr. Owens has been flooded with congratulations from all parts of the country. He bears the well-earned victory with his usual modesty. It was long atter midnight that the enthusiasm arous- ed by the returns last night allowed the happy people to retire. The enthusiasm, which was in full blast, was dampened for awhile by unfay- orable reports, but when the news of the victory was made certain bed- lam proke loose Men crazed with joy hugged each other in a way that would have made them ridiculous on avy ordinary occasion. The good natured mob, for it was nothing olse, seized upon Mr Owens and tried to carry him on their view published in a Detroit paper shoulders. The court house bell was country preduce. sler Mere.

Cincinnatti, O , Sept. 16.—A Com- mercial Gezette special from Lexing- ton, Ky., says: At 10p m_ Desha Breckinridge said he was confident of his father’s electiov. Said he: “I can not give out a statement by counties, but our latest reports re- duce Owens’ plurality to 141. Iam sure that the count will be given us by the district committee when it meets If it does not, I am not prepared to say what will follow, maybe a eontest.” At Midway, Bert Hammond came and confessed to the judges that he had cast an illegal vote and asked that one less be counted for Owens The judges refueed to do this, and Hammond was summoned to appear in court to morrow.

A dry goods box was placed on the public square and Mr. Owens was lifted upon it. But speech making was out of the question. Mr. Owens said he had been doing the speaking, but the boys bad done their work; it was their night to howl and he wanted them to enjoy themselves. After the crowd had yelled them- selves hoarse they insisted on a speech and Mr. Owens spoke briefly from the balcony of the Wells house. He said: “For some months I have been furnishing the chin music, but this isto me the sweetest music I ever heard. You have done all you prom- ised to do, but 1 want to exact one more promise from yeu, and that is to support the nominee, and I won't swear you; I will take your word.
