THE rapid spread of Indian hostili-
ties promises to give ample employ
ment TO government troops for
some time to come. If the
dispatches are reliable, there Will be a
wide field opened for thieving army
contractors and a corresponding in
crease of the federal debt, which the
people deserves to have saddled upon
them for foolishly and corruptly up
holding so mean an administration.

KENTUCKY ITEMS.

The Bowling Green Democract, of
18th ult., says:
Last Tuesday night, Mr. r. W. Hen
drick of this county lost his steam
grist and saw mill by fire. The mill
worth about $1,000. There was no in
surance on the property, and the fire is
attributed to an unknown incendiary.
The Hopkinsville New Era, of 18th
ult., says
The fines assessed in the Hopkins
vile city court since the first day of
the present month amount to 1896.
This shows larger amount of bust
mes than has been transacted during
any previous month since the city was
incorporated.
The Paducah Tobacco Plant, of
April %, has the following about our
friend Purcell. We are truly sorry to
hear of his misfortune:
Capt. Bill Purcell, who recently met
with such serious accident ON the
Cincinnati and Louisville Short Line
railroad, is in the city, and is slowly
recovering from his wound. One of
his fingers was entirely crushed off,
and the remainder of his hand so badly
mutilated and broken as to be render
ed useless for life. He has the sympa-
thy of host of friends in his misfor-
tune.
Corn planting is nearly finished in
Logan county.
The Hickman county Democracy, in
convention assembled, resolved that
the 18th 14th, and 18th Amendments,
are null and void, and therefore not
valid parts of the Constitution.
The Bowlin Green Democrat, of April
26, says:
Mrs. Barbee, living FIVE miles South
east of Oakland Station, in this coun-
ty, attempted to fill coal oil lamp with
oil while the lamp was burning, last
Tuesday night The lamp exploded,
and Mrs. Barbee was very badly, if
not fatally burned Too much care
cannot be exercised in filling and light
ing oil lamps.
Some of the Bourbon county farmers
are turning their attention to the cult

THE corrupt Vienna Commission
ers, appointed by Grant, and suspend
by Minister Jay, have made Grant the
laughing stock of Europe. Its a pity
that our government cannot act with
some decency, in the presence of
strangers. At home, we know its foul
corruption and tolerate it in kindred
spirit, but is is a shame that it is per-
nitted to disdrace free Institutions, by
showing its dirty hands in foreign cir

The Supreme Court has decided not
to decide the constitutionality of the
Kellogg usurpatiOn in Louisiana until
next winter. As Grant is rambling
far from Washington to avoid all par
ticipation in the troubles of his own
corrupt creation, so the Supreme Court
shirks its duty and strives to avoid the
responsibility ola dirty decision already
made, but not delivered.

THE Radical aspirants to the Presi-

Treasury, says that while he was in
charge of the Treasury Department, he
never made compromise with any
person who claimed to be innocent of

guilty of defrauding the revenue, and
then the Government compromised
for S271, 900.

THE SOUTH.


There is nothing Exc figures to show
how the South cuts its own throat, and
monepolies Cypress labor. South
Carolina, Florida. Alabama, Georgia
and Mississippi procure annually, from
the Northwest, 63,OOO,OOO Bushels of
corn, for which they pay s6S, O00, 800.
Of this sum, the transportation COM
panies get S47 100000, or more than
two-thirds, whilst the producers of
the corn get s2l ,OO0,OOO. Now sup
pose that amount of corn had been
grown in those five States, it is clear
that the $47 900, 900, in the shape of
freight would have been a clear gain,
and, added to the higher price of
the reduced product of cotton, with
the 81, 100000 first cost, paid to home
producers, is it not clear that the States
mentioned, would have been richer
and more Independent than. they are
now? Add to this immense outlay
for corn, an equal amount for pork,
agricultural implements and sunday
other articles imported from the North,
and how much of profit remains to
those States upon the cotton they pro-
duce? Year after year, this. folly is
repeated and the cotton planters learn
no wisdom from the plain lesson it
teaches.
The remedy for this state Of things,
is clearly indicated, in recent article
in the Columbus (Ga.) Enquirer which
is in these words:
The Eagle and Phoenix Manufac-
turing Company of this city, last year
sold two Macon houses $4,000 worth
of their goods; two Montgomery
houses took $4,000; three New Or
leans houses, 100000. Eight thous-
and dollars worth of cottonades were
sold to New Orleans houses last
week. Very heavy sales also made
last year, to New York, Cincinnati,
Louisville, st. Louis, Galveston, Mo
bile, Atlanta, Savannah, to say moth
ing of smaller towns and country
stores. Something less than 100000
worth of these goods, were sold to Col
umbus merchants
These are the results of single
manufacturing company, in Georgia
and they not only prove conclusively
what southern factories can do, but
map out the policy the South should
adopt to get rid of the extortion Of
railroad mOnopolies and to save to its
laboring classes the profits reaped by
spectators and middle men. THAI
southern factories make large profits, nc
one can doubt, who is at all familiar
with their operations, and if the CAPT
tai that has been expended upon Rail
roads for the benefit of Tom. Scott
and other monopolists, had been invest
ed in manufactures, the prosperity oftht
South would have been resting now
upon basis proof against contingent
cies and, as necessity developed the
need, Railroads would be built ant
owned and run in the interests of oul
own section. But want of patriot
ism and manly southern pride reconcile:
us to political bondage and CONNER.
cial dependence, and capital, locked VI
in the vaults of avarice, would rather
promote the ends of northern ag
gressive tyranny than lend It's aid t.
the regeneration of the South. The
probabilities are that the cotton State:
will continue to pay for northwestern
corn, with the proceeds of their cotton
crops, and continue to play the mag.
unanimous role of willing slaves tc
their generous northern masters.

THE MopoGWA

WASHINGTON, April 29-The dis
patches from the Modoc war create a
profound sensation, and are generally
construed as indicating a bloody re-
pulse of the troops. The opinion pre-
walls that the War department have
