Senator Logan has offered an amend
ment to his bill to devote all revenue de-
rived from the tax on whisky to the pur-
pose Of general education The amendment
proposes to distribute the money to the
states and territories according to popula-
ton, instead ofin proportion to the litter
acy OF the population, This will make
very material difference in the mount the
different states would receive. The original
bill would have given the largest proper
ton to the south, where the number of
illiterates is much greater than in the
north, owing largely to the colored popua-
ton. The amendment, if adopted, will dis
tribute the money per capita according to
the number of children of school age in
each state and territory. The amendment
also provides that none of the fund shall be
used in building school. houses, but all of il
must be employed strictly for education.

The negro, Fillmore Wade, who has
been confined in the pest-house for week
or ten days with typhoid fever and vario'
loid, died yesterday evening about 4;45
o'clock DR.. Carter was in attendance when
he died and made him as comfortable as
possible. He will probably be buried to-
day, or was, last night. Wade swas about
twenty-seven years of age; he is q native of
Tennessee, whereit is believed he has rela-
tons living. lie came here about a month
ago as a river man and gained admission TO
the marine hospital by reason of being af-
flicted with typhoid fever. When the
negro Black was sent to Cairo from Pa
ducah because he had the smallpox, and
was taken into the marine ward of the hos
pital here and cared for until the
pest-house could be gotten ready,
Wade, who was just recovering
from hard but successful fight with
typhoid fever, took smallpox from Black,
and soon followed him to the pest-house,
where he breathed his last yesterday. Thus
itappears that the Paducah gentlemen, who
sent Black to Cairo, knowing that he was
afflicted with the small pox, have already
the blood of one human being upon their
hands. How many more will follow this,
time will soon tell The other four pa
tients now in the pest-house are doing very
well indeed, and there is ground to hope
that all will speedily recover. There have
been no further Developments of the dis
ease in the hospital, but there is one pa
tient under isolation, in anticipation that he
will show signs of varioloid either to-day
or tomorrow. He has been exposed to the
disease, and will very likely take it sooner
or later.

The Political Situation.

The democratic convention which met
on last Tuesday to nominate candidates
for the various county Offices, the pro-
ceedings Of which will be found else
where, used good judgment and selected
the very best material in the party to be
placed on the ticket. There had been
shown On the part Of some, who have
let personal spite enter into the fight, an
inclination to throw over their strongest
men; happily, this was averted, but in
SO doing tine ,iisafected few have de-
clared war against their party ticket.
The principal fight the coming cam
paign will be IN the Offices of register,
treasurer, sheriff and assessor, and as it
| will be q close one, with neither side
sure of victory, it is necessary for the
best interests Of the county that the
candidates on both tickets should be
good mes and then, no matter which
side is victorious the result, so far as it
effects the county, will be the same.
Such has been the action of the first
convention and we hope that the result
of to-day's will be the m
1t is already conceded that c. w.
Shankland will be the nominee for reg
lister on the republican ticket, although
he has an opponent worthy of his steel
in A. L. Feay, and the nomination of
either will be satisfactory and a guaran-
tee that the Office if secured by the re-
publicans will be well filed. For the
offices of treasurer there are two can
didates in the field, j. III. Rickert and
Mr.. Hitchcock, and of these two the
former will make the strongest run. For
sheriff there is also two aspirants, Ben.
Porter and w. w. Odds, and while eth.
er would make a competent officer, the
former is the that can make the run
with a chance to win.
Having placed the political situation
before our reads impartially we will
now say one word in regard to the course
Of the CHRONICLE, past, present, and
during the coming campaign. Our read
ers are all aware that we have, since our
e~xistance, waged war against that ele-
ment in our community, represented by
a few, who, led by their vanity and self
Importance, have %arrogated to them
selves the right of being the Supreme
Rulers of the county at large and die
tatators in their own party, and would
even carry their assumption So far as to
try and assume that right in the ranks
of the republicans. That We have waged
u successful war that element has al
ready admitted by saying, '"The suspen-
sionof the CHRONICLE is what we desire"
Our last effort was, when we saw an in.
clination on the part Of that element
"a mere drop in the democratic bucket
to control the nominations on the dem
ocratic ticket, and we leave it for our
readers to judge whether we labored IN
vain. That end accomplished, two good
tickets in the field, and, with the CHRoN-
IcLE the only paper, its columns will be
open for the use of both political parties
and all candidates, over their combined
or individual signatures.
