BLACKBURN.
He Doesn't Want the speakership.
Bud Prefers a senatorship.


Louisville, KY, pa special to
the Courier Journal, from Frank
fort, says: Hon. j. q. Blackburn
was in the city to-day and made
known his intention concerning the
speakership to Colonel J. Stoddsrd
Johnson, editor of the Frankfort
Ysoman. He said, "Certainly l
have no reservation when / speak
to the people through the YeonGql,
which l am always glad to make
my meJium of communication. [
am not a candidate for Speaker.
For some weeks | have made nv
determination known to my friends,
and you are authorized TO make the
announcement public. My feeling
for the success of the Democratic
party ia Congress, and for the or
ganization of that body upon a basis
which will inure to the best inter
est of the country, is superior to any
mere feeling of personal ambition.
Ardent friends and felloW-mem-
hers have urged me to prose-
cute the canvass for the
position, and have assured me
of substantial strength in the cau~
Gus, but l am satisfied that, in order
to defeat the Vaccinations Of the
protectionists and secure the cleo
ton of Speaker who will reflect
the true democratic theory
of a tariff for revenue only,
it will be necessary to con-
centrate, rather than by hav
ing too many candidates, prosecuU-
ing similar views, to promote the
chances of the common foe. By
my withdrawal Kentucky viii be
united in the fight, and 1 shall lend
all my energies TO the success of the
candidate who, representing the
true principles of tariff reform
shall show the best prospect of de-
feating Mr.. Randall. These may
be said to be the considerations of q
public nature which have led me to
this conclusion. There are, how
ever, personal reasons, which sup
plement them, and have also a con
trolling influence. Since the ad
journment of Congress 1 have been
urged by many personal friends tt
permit the use OF my name as can
didate for United States Senator
After mature consideration / have
consented to becomeesa candidate
and you are authorized to announce
me in the canvass. II do net fee
that 1 can, with propriety stand TO
both places, and, therefore, decline
the race for the Speakership to de
vote my energies to that of Senator.

THE JAMES TRIAL.
Bad Showing for the Prisoner

Bad Showing for the Prisoner.
st. Louis, 29.-PoSt- Dispatch Gal
latin special: The court re~asseln-
bled this morning. Miss Ella Ken
dig and her mother, living four
miles from Winston, identified Dick
Liddell and Frank James as being
together on the day thefrobbery.
William Bray, the farmer who took
Jesse James in buggy to Hamil-
ton at the time Of the expedition
was abandoned at Gallatin on &C.
count of JesSe's sickness, corrobor-
ated Dick Liddell's account of the
affair. He positively identified
Frank James. Mrs. Bray cor
rOborated her husbands testimony.
Frank Holfenberger, a young
farmer living one mile from Gallatin,
was one of the best witnesses ex-
amined. It was at his house that
the robbers stopped over night on
their return from the second trip,
when Jesse was taken sick. Witness
accurately described the party, des-
ignating Clarence Hite as "Slouch,"
Dick Lidden he recognized as one
of the party. He detailed the move
ments of the party during the time
they were at his house. Defendant,
whom witness positively identified,
showed unusual familiarity with
celebrated racehorses.
Recess was taken at noon. The
prosecutor announced that the State
would close at the afternoon session.
1t Is admitted on every hand that
the State has made a very strong
case.
When the court met this after
noon, Sheriff J. r. Tim 0erlake tes-
titled 10 having kept bay mare for
Mr.. Roberts for several days, about
the time of the Winston robbery,
The mare was then turned over to
one Graham, who came and
claimed it.
The state here rested the case. The
defense then asked the Court to i'd
jolrn until morning, in order to
give them time to complete their
statement and gather their wit
nes3es. This was granted and the
Court adjourned.
The testimony of the States wit
nesses to-day was intended to sup
ply the missing links and complete
the chain Of evidence which the
State has been forging for the past
four days, and when the State
rested its case to-day there was
| little doubt left in the minds of
those who have heard the evidence
from the beginning, of its complete
ness. The State has woven a net.

The Northwest Underwriters.

Chicago, 29.-The fourteenth an
nual convention of the Fire Under
writers Of the Northwest began to-
day, and was attended by fully 200
delegates from companies doing
business in the northwest and in
Ohio, Indiana, Tennessee, Kentucky,
Iowa, Wisconsin and Kansas. In
his annual address the President,
w. M. Decamp, of Cincinnati, re-
ferred to the beneficial rules of the
organization of the State board of
underwriters. After the appoint
ment of a standing committee for
the ensuing year the convention
took a recess.
Mr.. G. A. Holloway, of Chicago,
read a paper on risks, in which he
deprecated the present tendency to
broaden insurance contracts with
out a great compensation, ard also
the immediate allowance made on
rates where novel appliances, which
were untried, are kept in readiness
for extinguishing fires.
Mr.. Mullins advocated, in a paper,
the compact system Of making rates ;
he did not deem local agents com.
petent, or free enough from preju-
dice, to go to work for companies on
the compact system, and contem-
plated the appointment Of comps'
tent men to make rates of insurance
for the several districts in which
the companies do business. these
men to receive their remuneration
pro rata to the business done by
them. Adjourned till tomorrow.

A New Industry.

There seems to be an eXOrbitant val
ue attached to small boys in Brooklyn.
AT least such will be the universal opin-
ion if the Brooklyn man who has sued
a school teacher for spanking his small
boy, and laid his damages at 5000,
shou he be successful. Few persons
will believe that the man has been dam
aged to the extent of $3,0 by the
spanking of his small boy. No matter
how highly he may estimate his boys
services, it is unreasonable to suppose
that he was deprived of them for peri
cd sufficiently long to make his loss
equivalent to $4,000. Let it be con-
ceded, for the sake of argument, that
the boy could not sit down for six con-
secutive months. He could still have
rendered to his father all the services
which a small boy is ordinarily capa-
bic of rendering, and the parents loss
would not have amounted to any ap-
preciable sum-much less to $4,000.
If the suit proves successful there
is not boy in a BROOKLYN school who
will not clamor to be spanked. At the
utmost the process of spanking cannot
be stretched beyond five minutes, at
least by any female teacher. If boy
can make $4,000 III five minutes he can
support his family in affiuence by two
yearly spankings. AS for the boy who
should secure daily spanking-as al
most any boy of average ability and
conscientious devotion to duty could
do-he would make his father a mil
lionaire. 1t is hardly probable, how
ever, that the plaintiff in the suit now
pending will recover his $4,000. When
our courts estimate mans life to be
worth only $1,000 they can hardly with
consistency value the spanking of
small boy at $4,000.
