Governor Murray when the charges
were first made, in '76. Justice Har-
Ian visited Washington, and had au
audience with Taft, then attorney-gen-
eral. The attorney general at
that interview, Judge Harlin testified,
said clearly and explicitly that
Governor Murray had not knowingly
made any improper charges. In ref
erence to Gov. Muir rays character,
Judge Harlan said: "There is no
man in Kentucky for whose integrity
both as an officer and man the people
of that state, without distinction of
party, would more readily vouch for
than him. He has secured the enmity
of some in the discharge of his duties,
but, beyond that, very few people
would question his integrity"

RACE TROUBLES.

ter than the Negro.
WASHINGTON, April 5.-As to the
future of the negro, Senator Morgan
said there was less to be expected
from the young negro population of
the United States, in contribution to
the moral, social and political institu-
lions of the country, than was to be
expected from the Arabs on the desert
of Egypt. This was not spoken re-
proachfully, but rather as one who
despaired of finding remedy for the
trouble. He was not sure the moral
ity of the negroes had been one parti
Gle improved since their emancipation.
He was beginning to believe book
learning was not an essential cure for
the troubles of that race. The ne
groeS' trouble was a race trOuble-a
race Authorization which he could
never recover. No congress could get
the women of this country to recog-
nize the negroes as persons with
whom they and their daughters should
associate. Congress was not strong
enough to do that, and never would
be. Morgan would rather see one
million dollars appropriated to estab-
nsh steam communication from
Charleston to the mouth of
the Congo river than see
this appropriation of $1O5,OOO,OO0 to
educate the negro. After referring to
the carpet bag regime in the south,
Morgan inquired whether his brother
senators thought he was cruel or in
human man. He did not believe they
did, and yet 1 can point you to house

NEW YORK, April 5.-For the past
two or three days an unsigned circular
calling on the working classes to meet
at Cooper institute tonight to take
action in connection with the Cincin-
natl riot. has been industriously circu-
lated among classes who would be
first to make trouble in riotous demon
strations in any city. To-day copy
of the circular was received by mail
at the police head quarters, together
with letters from citizens saying that
threats had been made in certain quar-
tiers to ferment disturbance and apply
the torch. The entire police force re-
serve has been ordered on duty to-
night, and a large force will be sent to
Cooper institute to suppress any riot

place. The New York mob is bad
enough to do anything, and if it threat
ems to burn the city it will surely at
tempt it. The police regard the matter
very seriously.

IRELAND.
All BOSh.


DUBLIN, April 5.-The reports
transmitted from London to the effect
that the Parnellites had recently CEN
sured Michael Davitt, are totally void
of truth. The most perfect harmony
exists between the Irish leader (Par-
nelD and his lieutenant, Davitt,
and no trouble whatever has
taken place at any of the
national meetings. With regard to
attempt said to be set on foot for
blowing up Mountjoy prison with
dynamite,and thus iberating the Irish
Invincibles now confined there, the
Parnellites believe the whole scheme
was started by the British govern
ment to justify its removal of those
men to English bastiles,and thus deny
them the consolation of occasionally
seeing some of their Irish relatives
and friends.

speaking in the highest terms of its
efficacy in its action on diseases for
which it is recommended. There is no

your great medicine, Hepatozone. MY
mother, who lives at Lafayette, Ala,
has been a great sufferer from liver
trouble for four years, physicians abso-
lutely failing to give her relief. Hav-
ing heard of the cures effected by your
medicine, procured four bottles and
sent them for her to try, urging her to
give them fair trial, and now she
writes me as follows: "Thanks to that
wonderful medicine you sent me, my
health is greatly improved; the pain in
aside, which the doctors here could
- relieve, has entirely disappeared,
and feel like 1 had new lease on
life" l have heard from my mother
since the above was written, and she
regards the cure as complete. Many of
my friends at this place use Hepato-
zone with great satisfaction, and pro-
nounce it one of the very best of liver
medicines. Respectfully,
