How 1t Is i'm Kentucky.

"Gath," in late letter from Washing ton
to the Chicago Tribune, narrates an inter
view with Secretary Bristow. wherein the
Secretary expresses himself as follows:
Those Southern States ought to have
been Repu blicanized from the top, as We do
in Kentucky, instead of from underneath.
Not even in South Carolina can you long
prevent intelligence from governing. La
Kentucky. the only State where ere the me, par. parry
ORGANIZATION respectable, and considered
that bad Republican was less to be ex.
cused than . bad Democrat. It has always
been nv belief that, by manly dealing and
fair play, We shall make Kentucky Re.
publican State. The Old Wing element
there has no business in the Democracy.

Another Murder il Plumber
Net Politics. This Time.
The Ehravon0rt Times of the tenth eavs

About half-past ten O'Clock yesterday
morning Chief Dewing learned that an out
rage had been perpetrated near the street
car depot. Upon going out he found an old
negro man lying in the hollow nearly a
quarter of mile from the road, directly in
front of the depot. who presented most
frightful spectacle. He was lying with his
head in ditch, and upon examination it
was discovered that he was still breathing,
though his skull had been crushed in seve
eral places, while his mouth and cheek
were terribly mangled.
The wounds were evidently inflicted with
billets of wood about two and half feet
long and three inches in diameter. which
were lying some twenty feet from the body,
covered with blood and hair. There were
also pools Of blood near the clubs. and evi.
near dead to speak. He was taken to the
hospital, and will no doubt be dead before
this reaches the eye of the reader.
Upon inquiry Mr.. Dewing learned that
the mans name is Joe Taylor. He lives
about twenty miles from Shreveport, in
De Soto parish. He came in Tuesday even
ing with two wagon loads of cotton-he
was driving one Of the wagons-and put up
in what is known as the Doc Jones wagon
yard, just outside the corporate limits on
the Texas road. The man who drove the
Quiet w XUu 6t0J0S tudt uC AdA OCOA AoOA-
ing for Taylor all morning and could hear
nothing of him until he saw the body. He
states further that the murdered man only
had 81, a. his cotton had not been sold.
Near the body, however, Mr. Dewing found
a pocket cut from his coat and one cut from
his pantaloons. The bottom of the latter
had been tied, evidently for the purpose of
securing his money. This was cut and the
money gone.
About 9 A. M, negro man who was at
work near the spot heard some one cry out
"Oh! !" but he thought nothing of it at the
time. About ten O'clock two little negro
girls, in passing, discovered the body and
gave the alarm.
Mr.. Deving has SO far got no definite clue
to this brutal outrage. The last informa-
ton he was able to get of Taylor before his
body was found, was that he and two other
men and two women, all colored, were seen
walking along the road about twelve O'Clock
Tueedev night near the depot. That he
was murdered for the money he had, or was
supposed to have, appears to be beyond
doubt. Up to three o'clock only one arrest
had been made-a negro man who was seen
to have in his possession more than the
usual amount of money. He was placed in
confinement, and will be held until one OF
both of the women can be found, to ascer
tain if he can be identified as one OF the
men seen in company with Taylor Tuesday
night. The murdered man Is apparently
about forty five years of age.
