GOLD KENTUCKY forever!" Such is the
jubilant shout of a Wisconsin Democrat
ic journal, of the Jcfitrsonian stripe, ON
reading Governor Leslies last message.
The editor then proceeded to say: ave
always thought something was going to
happen in good old Kentucky seine Of
these days that would astonish folks; and,
correctly enough, it has. Governor Les
lie announces, in his late message, that
the State is wholly out Of debt, with a
surplus of quarter of million dollars
in the treasury. Coming, as this sn-
nouncement does, at time when half a
dozen States are totally bankrupt, when
the United States Treasury is dangerous
ly near that point, with public debt
increasing at the rate If ten millions OF
dollars n month. it is refreshing and
gratifying in the extreme. All honor
to glorious old Kentucky. She was the
only Southern State that wholly escaped
the clutches of carpet-baggers and no.
groes. May her brave people live long
to enjoy the healthful administration of
honest Democrats.

an occupation. In the beehive there are
three kinds of bees-the queen, the
drones and the workers. The queen laws
all the eggs, the workers make the hon-

After the swarming period is over the
workers commence driving the drones
from the hive and clip their wing until
the hive is free of drones. The hive is
an illustration of society-the soil is
queen, the farmers are the workers, and
the middle-men are the drones, who 10

To do this they must 60 round some Of the

the manufacturers. as the middle men
