ANOUTLA W CAPT URED.

LOUISVILLE, KY, October 27.-Grove
Kennedy, the notorious outlaw made fa-
nous in Kentucky because of his daring
and defiance of the law,was captured
near Lancaster, KY, this morning. Ken
nedy has committed numerous crimes in
the last several years. He was engaged
in the riot at Lancaster, then killed rel
ative, was rescued from Jail, visited wa.
tering places, became intoxicated and ran
off guests, went to Nelson county and
tried to kill an engineer for not stopping
a train at his bidding. He would ride
through the country heavily armed, and
swore that no one would take him alive
Marshal Hunter of Bardstown, with
twelve men, surprised him near his faith
er's barn, in Garrard county. Kennedy
tried to dray his weapon, but realizing
certain deathin case he did so,surrender-
ed, and is now on his way to Louisville
for safe keeping.

The statement Of our Minister at the
Hague, with reference TO the condition
of the Dutch, is remarkable. Nota bank
failure in forty years; paper money ell
that time at par with gold no failures OF
insurance companies; pilfering officials
scarce as hens teeth; and all this with
more than than four millions of people
living within an area of twenty thousand
square miles. The railroads in Holland
carry passengers at the rate OF one cent
per mile, and yet pay good dividends
They are enabled to do this because they
grant no free passes, and have no branch
organizations to eat up profits. A busi-
ness failure is punished by lasting dis.
grace. The simple explanation of all
this splendid thrift is individual econo-
my and individual honesty. Risking
money in speculation is frowned upon.
The workingmen and women save some
thing each week from their wages, If 1t
is but a kreutzer They live simply.
From peasant to king there is no extrav-
agance. Rotation In Office is unknown.
Officers of the civil service ere retained
for life or good behavior. There is no
government policy except honesty and
economy Exchange.
Would we had more of those steady
qualities in our country. Here it is sche'
ming continually, in one way or another
to legislate for certain interests, thus
comforting special favors, building mo-
nopolies and plundering labor and hon
est business.
A few years ago, when the Republican
party leaders were making things lovely
for their favored friends, they flooded
the land with government paper money
in the shape of greenback promises to
pay. This initiation run up everything,
nominally, for the paper was irredeem'
able and hence deprecated. Deprecia'
ted as they were, the greenbacks were
nevertheless received by government at
par for United States bonds, and the
bonds were made payable in coin, thus,
in fact, robbing the taxpaying people of
a thousand millions at least, that is, in
creasing the Public Debt to that extent
In order to contract, they must first
initiate, and each process is robbery, un-
settling and disturbing all values, and
involving all business and labor in ruin
or stagnation.
The Democratic idea is that Govern
ment has no right to make money plenty
or scarce, to disturb or interfere with
trade and values. What right has gov
ernment to step in between creditor and
debtor and disturb the relation one way
or the other? 1t is manifest injustice
and works sad evils, as we have seen and
constantly see now. Let the American
people realize the importance of non-in-
reference with values, business and
trade on the part of Government. This
financial tampering with values, through
the currency and tariff exEctions, ever
works evil to a people. The United
States Constitution gives to Congress no
such power.
