COUNTY ORGANIZATION. B. W. GREEN, Esq., Chairman. A. C. BLUM, Esq.. Secretary. EDITORIAL HENTION. ft is qiiiie evident that the Ken tucky Democrats hope to carry the state this year by the grand jury vote. The Lousiana election was al most unanimous. Louisiana dis franchisement process works very smoothly. The Croton dam strike was rather disappointing to the Demo cratic leaders. It didn't last long enough to help their cause. Foreign lobbies against Ameri can shipping interests ought to furnish a striking object lesson to American legislators. I'p to the present it has not oc cerretl to Mr. Pettigrew to intro duce a resolution making inquiry concerning the Republican gains in South Dakota. The free trade New York tariff reform club, aided by foreign 1 ••, ing only foreign interests, is opposing the pending -flipping bill. Ex-Governor James E. Campbell ' a - been pleading for a divorce for Democracy and Populism. His grounds are logical but the tribunal to which he appeals is prejudiced. I he pending shipping bill aligns free traders and foreigners in op position, and protectionist Ameri cans in advocacy. That is why Congress regards the present ses sion as the one in which to pass the bill. A Tennessee Democrat has been defeated for Congress because he named his son after f>rover Cleve land. Yet it is proclaimed that the Democratic party is a harmo nious institution. The leader of the Democratic minority iu ihe House of Repre sentatives has been quite prolific in the matter of resolutions of iu niry. How about a little prod ding into his own business of pri \; t.- publication of public docu ments. The government provided for for to Rico is far more liberal than that given to Louisiana when that state was admitted to the Union. A little experience will assure the I'orto Ricans of the character of the Republican intentions. Put the Democrats will still be dissatisfied. Senator Piatt, of New York, who toe' Senator Quay's seat in the Snate tin: day after the vote was ! a ken which determined that the e\-Senator would not occupy it again, is reported to have said: ••The, present is nothing! The fu ture I don't see much fun in. And i for yesterday, well, that's water which ha- gone over the dam.'' ELI PERKINS DOWN SOUTH (iets Strong Admissions From a Dyed In the Wool Democrat. The other day, says the Louis ville Commercial, Eli Perkins was introduced to.l udge Scott, an old dyed-in-the-wool Kentucky Demo crat. The Judge is well known in the Blue Grass region, and the grand old Kentuckian has always been looked up to as a high priest of "befo' the wall Democracy." Perkins was introduced by an old Democrat, and Judge Scott sup posed that Eli was a Democrat, too. and he became confidential with him at once. '•How are we Democrats getting along Judge?" asked Eli in a confi dential tone. The Judge looked at Eli a mo ment to see if he really wanted in formation about the party, and slowly remarked: "Well, sir. we are getting on very well financially, but politically we are running behind; yes, I'm afraid we are running behind," •'What causes this?" asked Eli. "Well, sir," said the Judge sad ly, "I'm afraid our party has not been altogether right. We have erred in some things." "Where have we erred, Judge?" "Well, sir, I hate to admit it, but our G rover Cleveland policy hurt us Kentuckians. 1 wouldn't say it to a black Republican, but we Democrats all admit it among ourselves. You see," said the Judge, "we used to get 35 cents for wool, and a big price for hemp and tobacco before Grover came in, but that Wilson bill hurt us. It knock ed wool down to 12 cents. Free jute, putin to help the cotton fel lows, ruined our hemp, and it rot ted in the ground. Then we low ered the tariff on tobacco, and our tobacco went down on us. We didn't complain, but we Democrats did a good deal of thinking. Cat tle and hogs got lower and lower, and when Grover went out we were pretty poor; yes, dog-on hard up, sir!" "Are they still bad—the times?" asked Eli. "No, honestly, the times are good. Wool and hemp and tobac co have doubled in price and are still going up. Cattle and hogs are high and our blue grass farmers are getting rich." '' Well, what is the matter then?'' "Why, these good times have knocked out our dear old Demo cratic party. Our Democratic farmers say they will never vote for free trade or low tariff again." "Well, what can we Democrats do?" asked Eli. "I hate to admit it," said the Judge sadly, "but if we Democrats want to win in Kentucky again we 've got to keep the tariff right where it is. That old Wilson bill and Bryan's free silver will be a scare crow to every farmer in Kentucky and Tennessee. We've tried low tariff and we know —I'm ashamed to say so, but we know it hurt us! No, sir, the people are prosperous, but our Democratic party is doing poorly. I wouldn't say it to a black Republican, but that is the way we Democrats talk among our selves." As the Judge got off the train at Lexington he remarked: "Yes, and there was another mistake we Democrats made. Grover Cleve land wanted to sink the Republic of the Hawaii and put a nigger on the throne. We Democrats didn't complain, but it made us sick, for, between you and me, we Democrats ain't puttin' niggers on thrones. McKinley's white governor over a republic suits old Kentucky and the South." The smokeless factory smoke stack was one of the leading feat ures of the last Democratic national administration. Ilriilftc Builders' Prlglit, Bridge building is a perilous busi ness, and no Insurance company will take any risk on the lives of super structure workers. There Is one horri ble sensation known to superstructure workers. It is something like stage fright. "I know once," said oue of them, "when I wasn't up more than 140 feet, a sudden feeling came over me that I couldn't get down. I looked down, and there was a swift tide swirling around the edges of the piers. It seem ed to me I should surely be killed. I clasped both arms around the beam on which I was working and lay there, just clinging to it, for 20 minutes. Luck ily for me, the foreman, who was near me, saw what was the matter and had sense enough not to speak to nie. If hi; had, I know I should certainly have fallen off. lie kept on working, and I clung helplessly to the beam. Finally, in a gruff voice, ho growled at me: 'Say, git out o' there! I want to put a rivet there.' And I, obedient to an instinct of duty, found myself moving along. The feeling passed away as I did move and didn't come back." "When I was in Peru building bridges," said an engineer, "1 did not lose my head at work, but 1 more than once woke ii|> during the night hang ing to the sides of the bed in despera tion of fear tu ):i-ep from falling in a nightmare." —Doston Ilerald.

Destructive fires have been raging along the West Creek valley for several days, but at this writing they appear to be checked. Several meadows have been burned over, also some timber land, and it was with great difficulty that some build ings were saved.

Mr If you want to Sell Anything, If you want to Borrow money, A man may refrain from robbing lien rooatu, and pay the grocer and baker, and even the printer, as a matter of policy, and still be a dishonest cuss. To be honest, he must think, act aud talk like a man who has a high conception of duty toward his fellowmen, and must not try to palm himself off for what he is not. When Robert Burns observed that "an honest man's the noblest work of God," he did not refer to the fellow who was honest because he believed in the old saw that "honesty is the best policy," but to the man who had a just comprehension of his duties toward his fellows, and who would not "wantonly set his foot upon a worm." —Punx'y Spirit.

The editor of an exchange being ask ed if he had ever seen a baldheaded woman, replied: "No we never did. Nor have we ever seen a woman waltz ing around town in her shirt sleeves with a segar in her teeth. We have never seen a woman go a-fishing with a bottle in her hip pocket, sit on the damp ground all day, and then go home drunk at night; nor have we ever seen a woman yank off her coat and swear she could lick any man in town. God biess her! She aint built that way." —rawiiiiiwiiiii 11 mmmmmwmmmammmm l rsniwra on't Lose Your Grip.
