Semi-weekly south Kentuckian. [volume] (Hopkinsville, Ky.) 1883-1889, 1884-09-05

The splonetic editor of the Owens
boro Inquirer has tins TO say as a
friend Of Mr.. Clay:
"Christian county held her pre-
cinct meetings on Saturday, the 23rd
inst, and so far as we have been able
to discover not voice was raised in
behalf of Mr.. Clay. An able and
painstaking representative found no
favor in that Republican county,
which is chiefly distinguished for
treachery towards those who have,
through evil as well as good report
been faithful to her candidates
No doubt between tho lines of the
poll books q close observer could
read the name of the red-bearded
child of destiny from that delcctabl(
geographical division of the earth''
surface, which ought to be annexed
to the First District or to Tennessee.
OF course nobody believes thes'
reckless statements which are bu
the wild vagaries of an excited Cla!
man, who displays. not only his ig
norance but touch of vencm ant
meanness. Our esteemed contem
porary does not represent the peopl
of his county in expressing such sen
timents.

Grants Mind,
lnenver 0pinion.l

lpenver opnion.l
An old friend of General Grapt
sand to an Opinion reporter,
General Grant is losing his mind.
The startling statement was re-
ccived with incredulity.
lie is, re-asserted the gentleman.
The failure of his firm has ruined
him mentally as well as financially.
The change in him is absolutely as
tonishing. For years he has lived an
easy life. His name has been used
by capitalists, and he does not seem
to have understood the improperly
of it. lie was in Jay Gould's hands
for three years in spite of the pub
lished record of the Black Friday in
vestigation. The trouble with the
general is that he has never really
understood how great man he was,
This has kept him in business when
he should have been out of it. The
undcrcurrent of his mind is vulgar.
lie is naturally credulous and is cas-
lily caught by spccious pleas. This
has been his great misfortune.
How deeply has the failure of his
firm affected him?
More than anyone can believe, IN
the first place it must hc remembered
that General Grant is an old man. In
the second place it must not be for
cotton that he has seriously injured
some time ago while stepping into
his carriage. The extent of the lat
Ter injury has never been fully un-
derstood. lie is wrech Of what he
once was. The failure completed the
disaster. For years he was known
as the silent man. lie is so no lon
ger. He talks constantly. Indeed il
is not q talk but a chatter, He repeats
the same denunciatious of Ward oven
and oyer again with a parrot like
persistence which Is very pathetic
| have heard him say for an hour al
Il time: lie was smart and trusted
him. My name was the bank ank hC
was the cashier. The whole thing il
very sad,
What does he say for his sons?
This is the saddest feature of his alb
erration. lie seems to think that III
is as much to blame for their ruin a
Ward is. lie BELIEVES that if hi
name had not been used by Ward hi
sons would have money now. Hi
family affection is very great, and j
is now in an abnormal state. lie sit
! for hours at u time saying meaning
less things about the late catastrophe
and Wards name is always intermin
gled. 1t is the saddest end to grea

side to their employers. This re-
minds me of the condition Of society
in East Tenu,ssee before the war.
The people who lived in the valleys
which were rich, generally " ere pros
porous, while the hills and mountains
were poor. So no matter which side
of politics or religion the valley pco-
pie took the hill people would take
the opposite. AT present we Of
the South know but little of
this kind Of discussion or trouble,
but we may know something about
il in future years. Capital is not al
ways content TO control muscle,
which is right, provided it is temper
cd with justice, but too often takes
the rcins Of freedom, thought and
will. This rebellion against the usur-
patton Of power, l predict some day,
will be N orc destructive and appai-
ling than.any wchave ever had on
this continent. Now, who would
have thought | would have said so
much about political questions and
nothing about other matters when it
is known by my friends that the
last vote cast for II president was for
John c. Breckenridge and i'll Keep
my senses, | will never give another
but trust my frail bat to the Cap
tain General who guides in safety
thos who put their trust and conf
dencc in Him.

The Hope pioneer. [volume] (Hope, N.D.) 1882-1964, 1884-04-18

A N. Y. telegram says there was quite
gathering at the Filth Avenue hotel, on the
11th inst, of distinguished political lights,
among them Col. Ingersoll, John Sherman and
Ben Butler. Col. Ingersoll expressed himself
freely about the situation. He said he thought
Blaine was having the ground swell just now;
that while Arthur's ADMINISTRATION had been
creditable, he regarded his chances of renomi-
nation as slow; that Logan had no following
in the East and Edmunds none in the West,
and that these two might accordingly be called
one-legged candidates; that John Sherman
could not carry his own state, and that Gen.
Sherman had informed him in St Louis last
week that he would not under any circum-
stances accept the nomination. Ingersolps
own preference would be Justice Harlan, and
next to him, Postmaster General Gresham,
He thinks that the Republicans can succeed
without New York; that the tariff will be the
issue, and that there are enough Democrats in
favor Of protection to give the battle to the
Republicans.

very large real estate transfer, but of what

tanned until Wednesday of this week. when n

Kingsley, agent of the Red River Land conl-
pany at Minneapolis, which letter was after
wards confirmed by the transfers on the county
records.
The property consists Of lots %, % and "a,

Mr.. Sea is a man possessed of an unusual
amount of integrity, energy and push, and
with his two suns has gained an enviable repu-
tation in Chicago and all through the northwest
by the establishment Of one of the largest
fancy goods stores in that city, and the build
ing of glass block in Minneapolis, which they
have packed full of goods. Mr.. Sea formerly
owned the Sherman House in Chicago. He
expects to spend a part of the summer here
with his family. It seems to be the general
belief among our citizens that this latest of big
deals will prove bonanza to Hope and Steele
county. Mr.. Seas influence among gentlemen
of means i'll Chicago, it is thought, will do
much toward settling up this county and make
it what it deserves to be- the banner county of
Dakota
Mr.. Sea writes Register of Deeds Mcmahon
to learn What branches of trade are not repre-
sented here, and what are needed, as well as
giving other pointers, which plainly indicates
that the gentleman means business, and will
do his utmost to make Hope the rising metrop-
oils of the northwest.

sherman on the Financial Situation.
Senator Sherman, speaking in New York
last Saturday on the financial situation, said:
am somewhat surprised that the great finan-
cial men of New York do not seem to appreci-
ate the great changes that may come to tho
business interests Of the country by the quota
ton some morning of gold at premium, and
especially the enormous contraction this would
produce by the sudden demonstration of gold
and gold certificates. Whenever the time
comes that gold is quoted at a premium it
ceases to be currency as much as corn or wheat
or cotton; it becomes Il commodity like any
other commodity, to be bought and sold at
market price. No man can estimate the effect
OF such an enormous contraction of the current
money, though the first impression would be
that thessilver standard, being the cheaper
standard, would make times easier and prices
higher. But this view does not take notice of
contraction of the currency. The resumption
OF specie payments advanced prices and in
creased the currency, and made times easier.
The decentralization of gold is likely to have
the same effect as the use of deprecated paper
money had before resumption.

This issue closes Vol. of the PIONEER.
We are thankful for the generous support we
have received from our patrons during the past
two years, and hope to merit continuance of
the same. We have received many kind words
for the PIONEER, and they will not soon be
forgotten. We can recall but very few in
stances where men have said or done anything
for the purpose Of creating an ill feeling to-
ward the PIONEER, and we predict that the
time will come when they will be convinced
of their error, and see the folly of their ways.
We have endeavored to publish paper in
Hope in the interest Of the people Of the town
and county, paper that could be taken in any
family, and such one as could go out into
the world weekly as a faithful representative
of locality which we are proud to call the
home of our adoption. Just how far our work
may be appreciated we never expect to know,
but we have had assurances from our subscrib-
ers that the PIONEER has been the means Of in
ducing many to come of the hundreds who have
arrived to reside among us. The county is be-
ing settled up rapidly by just the right class Of
people to make it the most desirable locality
for those who wish to locate where social, edu-
cational and religious advantages are almost
equal to those Of the east. As the advance
ment of the interests Of Steele county has ever
been our aim, we will continue, by faithful
account of its settlement, development and re-
sources, to keep our readers informed of our
progress, and give them strong and convincing
reasons why they should settle amongst us.

1t is said that one day last week, while the
plug train was on its way from Sanborn to
Cooperstown, two Of the passengers being
somewhat of hurry to reach their destination,
stepped out of the coach and hired man pass
ing by with an OK team to take them on.
They saved fourteen hours by the operation.
At another time when the passenger train was
bound south, and running at high rate of
speed, ferocious bull was met, and both en-
deavored to pass on the same track, but it was
of no use, everybody on the train were soon
convinced of that, and all hands turned out and
carried the train around the bull and put it on
the track again, thus probably averting what
may have proved terrible. railroad accident.
We hardly believe this, but undoubtedly they
exercise great care in the running of trains on
that road,
