The Kentucky Code Justified.

Louisville Tunes.
BY the social code of Kentucky, and the ae
here is shaped, such outrage meant death to one
or the other party. 1t may be that the highest
civilization should, as it certainly does, condemn
the sentiment 1t is our duty, no doubt to
strive to supplant it with ideas more consonant
with Christian teaching, or at least with the
horror of violence and Indifference to mere in
suit which the culture Of this age incucates
When we have learned how to make our
virtues and our vices marketable, and
are willing to assess the chastity of woman
and the reputation of man at money
value-when We realize that open and foreihle
resentment of injury is a relic of barbarism
that only tho savage is avowedly sensitive to
personal affront, and civilization cOuntenances
no process of revenge save that which is clandes-
tine tortuous and strictly within the pale of
order-then it is to be hoped, we will be a better
and more prudent people.
But as yet the code in Kentucky is in re
not ungenerous. Our record is stained with
much blood which ought not to have been
She'd deplorable and ineNeusable deeds of
violence have been done here; but we have
sometimes shown forbearanee as exalted as it
has been remarkable in people accustomed to
tho individual redress of wrongs. 1t has not
been deemed unworthy of Kentucky manhood
to pardon deep injury, and even condone insult
not deliberate and indellible. A blow given in
hasty anger, shot fired in a sudden quarrel
wounds inflicted life attempted even hot words
of contumely spoken; all these, where lasting
disgrace has not been intended or accomplished,
have received cheerful amnesty. Courage may
forgive, dignity may overlook them But the
touch of the whip is and always has been an in
eifaceable stigma, a degradation utter and un-
mentionabe in the opinion of this people.

Little of the Better Side,

Tho loss of confidence in railroad properties is
largely due to the presumed large decrease in
the earnings of tie roads this year as compared
with those of asst year. The light earnings of
the Union Pacific has probably done more to
unsettle public confidence in railway stocks than
any other single fact that has come to light in
the last month or two. But it is an error to as
sumo that this is an index of the general status
of railway earnings, and this is shown by com
parative table of the earnings for March and
April for The last two years, printed by the Rail
road Gazette Sixteen Of the leading roads
w. w March April. Excess in
1888 $l3, 80. ~ $l2 726,O45 March 81, OO4, 667
1884 l2,S22, O99 13s03,9 April 9SO,s3
Thus for these roads in the aggregate the po-
sitiop of the two months is the reverse this year
from what it was last. Then they earned about
y million more in March than in April this year
they earned about million more in April than
in March 1t was last year that the course of
earnings was unusual; earnings are usually, ex
cept perhaps for Southern roads, larger in April
than in March.
If we take the two months together, we find
that these sixteen roads earned SIG, 627. 031 in
the two months this year, and $26, 529, 977 last
almost the same in both years, the increase this
year in April balancing the decrease in March.

Don't Like the Hospital scheme.

Some of the employees of the Wabash, St
Louis & Pacific look upon the 50 cents per month
levy on their salaries, to carry out Manager
Talmage's hospital scheme, in no favorable light,
and say that it will cetainly precipitate a strike
if an attempt is made to carry the plan
into execution A lengthy protest
is being signed by a large per cent of the en-
ployes against its enforcement. Among the rea-
sons assigned in opposition to the proposition is
that in case of serious accident few employees
could be removed to the distant hospital An
employee, to share its benefits, must needs be re
moved from home, should he have one, and
really it would be of little benefit, except to
what are known as tramp railroad men. The
best points made in the protest are that the
present low wages on the Wabash system should
be increased, rather than reduced and charity
to be really such, should be a contribution to
and not an exaction from the recipient; that at
least four tifths of all the employees, if not a
larger number, are now members Of some soei-
city or organization that insares care and com
pensatiOn in case of sickness or accident, or are
insured in accident insurance companies, which

FIRST BAPTIST CHURCH.

Rev. II. G. Mabie breaches His Farewell Ser
mona Retrospect of His Passionate.
A very large congregation greeted Mr.. Mabie
at the farewell services held on yesterday. Mr..
Mabie preached very able and interesting part
ing sermon in the morning, in the course of
which he thanked God that the church was not
built upon or around any human individual, and
that his going away would not cause it to swerve
air's-breadth from its base. He commended
to the brethren the work of the denomination,
not only in their local interests, but throughout
the State, specially instaneing as worthy of their
heartiest support, their UNCONVENTIONAL paper,
the Indiana Baptist, published in this city; the
college at Franklin, and the labors of Rev. Dr.
Simpson, the agent of the Foreign
Mission Society and of Rev. Will
lam E lgin, the secretary of the society for mis-
sion work in this State
During his pastorate of a little over four and
one half years, six months of which was spent
in Europe, there have been added to the church
$50 persons all of whom. under the rules of the
church, have pro2essed turning from their
sins and their personal faith in Christ. OF this
number 1872 were baptized into the church, and
the residue were received by letter from other
churches or upon the relation of their individual
Christian experiences During the time the
church has contributed about $50, 900, two thirds
of which has been used for benevolent work
outside of the church itself.
The membership is now larger than ever before,
and was never more united harmonious or
aggressive. The going away of DIR. Mabie will
prove not only loss to the church, but to the
city and community at large. By his kindness
of heart and purity of life, he has endeared him
self to all with whom he has come in contact
during his stay in the city, and he may feel
assured of hearty welcome whenever he re-

The first was personal matter, the second was
that to all people and under all circumstances
she should preserve utter silence about his

in this remarkable way that they say he
used to turn over all newspaper reporters
and interviewers to her, with the remark,
Perhaps you can be uglier than L can with
these paper men, and she would no doubt try
and earn his appreciation. Be that as it may,
no one can get much or little satisfaction this
week about the dead man, except that which he

Recommendation that South Carolina

Camden, s. c., Journal.
We know that it is easy to find fault, bat it
does strike us that we should think some for our
selves-that although sneezins is a very easy
and pleasant thing to do sometimes, yet when
we do it, it should be from the snuff taken by
ourselves, and not by others Therefore, a pas
sive policy upon part in the coming cam
paign as far as national affairs go, would open
up to us future which at present we do not
see, and which we fear will be long way
off, if, year after year. We obey the
voice or mandates of those who care for US only
to use us. Manhood and self-respect, with a
keen eye to the interest of our State, all call
upon us now to think and act for ourselves.
There are thousands and tens of thousands in
the ranks of the Republican party North who are
not to day half as nimical to us as Randall, of
Pennsylvania, or Bragg, of Wisconsin. As long
as we follow their commands all will run smooth
ly, but when We look to any interest of our own
which is not in full accord with their own plans
and desires, we can 60 We have had enough of

JAY GouId,s Southwestern system.

A gentleman who has had considerable rail
roadexperience and whose Judgment of road-beds
is good, has within the last ten days travelled
over great portion of the Jay Gould South
western system. He stated yesterday that the
Missouri Pacific is the best track west
of the Allegheny mountains, the P, c.
& st. L. and c., St L. & P, between Pittsburg
and Indianapolis excepted which lie pronounees
the best 381 miles of single track in this country
He says that so per cent. of the Southwestern
system is in excellent condition, and the equip
ments are second to none. The gentleman re-
ports the crop prospects all over the West as ex-
ceedingly fattering. AS the above statement
comes from a person who owns no railroad stock
nor bonds, his report can be relied on.

Possibly were these dissatisfied employees
better acquainted with Manager Talmage, these

The fact is that Mr.. Talmage, while being one of

broadest-headed and biggest-hearted railroad
men in this country, and no one feels more kindly
toward the men under him, and his efforts are
certainly intended for the good of the employees.

handled is about the same as in the week ending

light, but little grain or lumber going forward.
An increased call for cars to load for the East,
at points west of here indicates that there is some
what of an improvement. This, however will
likely be of but few days duration, little
grain is there in the section of country contrib
utory to Indianapolis roads to go forward.
West-bound traffic for sixty days past has been
in excess of that of the corresponding period
1888 The north and south roads are doing only
a fair business. Favorable features are that
cars are loaded quite equally both ways and
rates are well maintained. Local traffic contln
ues good. Harvesting implements and building
material form quite large percentage of the
freight moving Below IS given the number OF
cars received and forwarded at this point in the
