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.

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."
