The Kentucky Idea.

hdN6l6 LVY JOUTHlI,
The evolution of the Kentucky idea in politics
is decidedly interesting As far as 1t has got 1t
may be condensed as follows: Protection for the
whisky interest; horizontal war OH other business
interests; free trade early in the sweet by and
by as possible never mind about the presidential
election; let Pennsylvania slide; ditto as to New
York, Ohio, New Jersey, and Connecticut; party
harmony be blowed; the sooner the break comes
the better democrats who don't like the prospect
will please pack their gripsacks aud travel. No
wonder that veteran politicians like ex-senator
Barnum, Col. Mcclure, Mr.. Eaton, and Mr.. Dana
gasp with astonishment And the idea is still
evoluting. There may be yet greater surprises in
store Tor them.

GEN. WIN. C. WIcKHAM, a gentleman of
intelligence and prominence, who claims to
be republican, was examined yesterday
before the Sherman committee. His position
was embarrassing, and we doubt very much
whether he will be satisfied with his testi.
mony when he reads it. Gen, Wickham,
when cross-examined by Mr.. sherman, gave
it as his opinion that the white people of
Virginia were opposed to the republican
party, but not TO tho negro-that is, the
negro is not an object OF hatred except as q
republican voter. In this he is no doubt
entirely correct. But further on in his testi-
mony no expressed the hope that he would
SEQ the day when he would carry the
republican flag to the front in Virginia
by tho aid of tho whites. But
efore this could be done tho party
must cease to bolster the "crowd" whom
he regards as unworthy of being supported
by republicans. By the crowd" he evil
IDENTIFY means the white readiusters who are
willing TO cooperate with the republicans.
He expresses the belief under oath that the
republicans cannot carry Virginia as long as
these whito read usters are permitted to exer-
else any control in the party management
How can these two propositions stand to-
gother? In the first place, he says that II is
the negro as republican voter that ArouSos
the hostility of the white people and then
he says that it is tho white readjusters that

A Tart RepIv.

The probable discussion of the Utah COM
mission bill by the senate this week recalls an
auecdote of Delegate Cannon when he was in
congress. A New England congressman met
him in ono of the cloak rooms during de-
bate, and said in q sarcastic tone:
Cannon how many wives is man allowed
to have in Utahf"
Just enough" was the tart reply, "to keep
him from running after other mons wives"
The laugh was on the New Highlander.

care exercised in appointments TO judicial posi-

Gray and Blatohford to the supreme court and eX-
tending through the subordinate judicial offices in
which vacancies have occurred, his only desire

cratic candidate would be in the south now.
Tho unfortunate divisions in opinion of the
leading democratic statesmen of the country
will certainly split and demoralize the demo-
cratic party of the south, and there will be no
solid south in tho convention. Manuiactur-
ing has pressed too far in Virginia, Georgia,
the Carolinas, Tennessee, Alabama, and Louisi-
ana to allow tho democratic party to be led
by tho nose by the arrogant braggadocio of
such men as Morrison, Watterson and Car
Isle. 1t will take strong southern man,
who is conservative in q radical degree to
meet the wants Of the southern states and
unto the desperate factions, whose bitter
separation is plainly manifested in every
movement and transaction that | have
observed in my constant attention
to tho southern interests. If some
famous confederate statesman, an able and
brilliant man, q conservative and beloved
hero of the recent war, were to be placed
upon tho ticket i am sure tho result would
be cementing OF all the power and vigor OF
q great party upon an object, In the presenta'
tion of which there would be perfect har-
mony.
THAT fact is to me cear-and think it IL
to every well.regulated mind--that the dem
ocratio party is to-day placed without O
leader in its ranks Of Importance. 1t is in q
position of which 10 deserves to be ashamed
Its whole record is marked with mistakes
and the sooner its elements dissolve anC

principles in common the better will 1t b'

the faith. What we want in this country II

Tho carpet bagger and the still meaner

free citizenship, the manufacture of political
crime, and all the wrongs false to the Ameri-
can idea of government, the policy Of hatred,
and the incident injuries to development and
progress, all these call aloud to the south to
act together for one object-and that object is
the election of democratic president.

ABOUT CooPER's SIZE.
Rochester Post Express.

Mr.. Roosevelt, 1t will bo seen, continues
faithful in his adherence to Mr.. Edward
Cooper as an eligible democratic candidate for
presidential honors. There is really good
deal to be said in favbr of Mr.. Cooper, who is
au amiable and accomplished gentleman, of
good parts and clean record, and stronger,
perhaps, from the standpoint Of availability
than even tho governor. Still, we doubt
whether this is year when the democrats
can hope to succeed under the leadership of q
man not of the first political magnitude and
possessing both force and name. Why not
run Mr.. Cooper for mayor?

The River Flats Improvement.
REPORT OF COL HAMS FOR NAY.

Col Hams, In his monthly report to the chief OF
engineers, OF the operations upon the improvement
OF the Potomac river for the month OF May, states
that the amount of dredging and dep6s1ting in the
fats during May greater than for any previous
month since the work began, the total amount
dredged from the channel being about 10000 cubic
yards, suf1cent to raise about IS acres OF the fats

deposited under the contract with P. S. Ross, to
June 1St, is 117O,7 75S cubic yards. The embankment
along the line OF the slope-wall has progressed
rather slowly. The material is somewhat harder
than was anticipated after depth OF six feet 1t

contract along the line OF the outer margin OF the
proposed fill, was washed considerably by the
waves at high tide and about 800 cubic yards OF
rtp-rap was placed along portion OF it protec-
tion. The filling near EaSby'S point, under con-
tract with Thos- P. Morgan, was completed May 90.
During June the work will be continued under
the contract with P. s Ross; but as one section OF
the work will be completed In a few days. opera
tions will be confined to the section above Long
bridge. The three dredges below the bridge viii
be laid up as there is work for them to do. The
construction OF the embankment along the margin
OF the fill, and the deposit of rp-rap protection,
will be continued. The work OF removing rocks in

certain Of the detective had been for trial

said Judge Wylie, 'and see no reason to change IT.
Then,' said the district attorney, ''in the cases
set excepting one, charging George O. Miller and
Chas. Gay with larceny, will, with the leave of
the court. enter nOUe pros"
"That is right, SIR" said Judge Wylie.
The cases In which the nolIe pros. was entered

MIR. WorthingtOn, continuing, said that, as to the
case OF Mr. Miller, he had had conference with
Mr.. Williams, his counsel, and it was arranged
that the case should go over.
Mr. Williams said that Mr.. Ingersoll, who was in
the case, had just reached home. He was willing
that the case be continued, with the understand
ing that it be disposed OF early in the next term,
which will commence on Monday.
This course was taken.
