Western Kentucky and the sena-
torship.
Louisville Post.

If Western Kentucky hopes to gel
the next Senatorship her leading men
can not compose their differences and
come to an understanding too soon.
That section has been long neglected
and even dispised by the dominant
Bluegrass influence, and the con-
tempt with which its aspirants have
been treated is due chiefly to two
causcs-the rancorous rivalries of its
leaders and the selfish intrigues of
the petty politicians who have been
sent to represent those counties in
the conventions and in the Legisla-
ture.
The differences among the former
have been bitter and uncompromis-
ing, while the latter have kept their
ears open TO every bid made by the
dunning tricksters of the Bluegrass,
who have been profuse in their prom
ises when they wanted the aid of the
Western delegations, and scorntully
Indifferent TO them after their objects
have been accomplished. The dupes
seem to learn nothing from expert
ence. Each convention and each
Legislature has illustrated the folly
of their credulity. They breathe
threatenings and hatreds for a shol t
time, but they return to the same
crib to be fed again with the same
husks Of worthless promises and
violated pledges. All they get is a
few nauseOus puifs from the news
paper organs of the dominant clique,
which are sent home marked to be
republished in their local papers.
These they hug to their bosoms as so
much Immortality, and yainly i'm
imagine themselves great statesmen
and brilliant orators. 1t is pitiful to
see this ever recurring illustration of
weakness and conceit, and to note
the poor fruit it bears.
1t is idle to tell them that Western
Kentucky is over taxed that all dis
ordinations are made against their
section and none in its favor; that
the fine turnpikes of Central and |
Eastern hentucky nave been con-
structed at their expense that they |
pay as high tax on some of their
horses, worth seventy-fvc dollars. as |
a rich farmer IN the Bluegrass pays |
Oh Thoroughbred that would |
bring $4,000 any day under the
hammer, and that they even pay the |
expenses OF keeping up several East
,rn counties. What's all that COM
pared to the promise of an irrespon-
'iblc Upper Kentucky politician who
assures first one credulous fool and |
hen another that he shall be put on
he next State ticket as Auditor or
Attorney General, or perhaps as
Lieutenant Governor.
1t is more than proba BILE that
Western Kentucky can elect the next
Senator if her representatives will
ICt in something like harmony and
upon strong man, of
whom there arc several. But it is
die to hope for success other wi ise.

She Caught Him.

A certain lady suspected that her
husband was in the habit of kissing
the cook, pretty German girl, by

the act. After watching for four
days she heard him come in one even

kitchen. Now Katie was out that
evening and the kitchen was dark.
Burning with jealousy the wife took
some matches in her hand and hastily
placing her shawl over her head as
Katie often did she entered the back
door and was almost Immediately
seized and embraced and kissed in
the most ardent manner. With her
heart almost bursting with rage and
jealousy the injured wife prepared
to administer terrible rebuke to her
faithful spouse. Tearing herself from
his embrace, she struck a match and
stood face to with Kate's beau, one of
the factory boys. Her husband say s

John Ellis is young man, and
the son of one of the wealthiest stock

try. His father owns a large stock
farm four miles back of the station,
and the son lives with him. Near
the station lives a Mr.. Storts, also
prominent farmer, Und who is the
farther of a beautiful girl named
Ludia. The young lady in question
is just budding into womanhood, and
is reputed the belle of that section of
the country. She has been much adj
mired, and many were the suitors
for her heart and hand. Young
Ellis, il seems, was among the num-
ber, and, owing both to his financial
standing and superior natural quail
ilications, was given a preference.

wedding Bells.

Last evening Mr.. Chas. III. Nicoll and
Miss Francis NJ. Lack were married at
the Fort-street Church by Rev. E. G.
Oggel, pastor of the Bethel Union
Church. The church was filed by
quite large audience. At the head of
the center aisle three floral arches had
been erected. From the center of one
hung marriage bell of evergreens and
white flowers, under which the couple
stood during the ceremony, At a few
minutes past the appointed time the pro-
cession, consisting OF the ushers, brides
maids and best man, and the bride and
groom, fled into the church to the strains
of Memberships wedding march on the
organ by Mr.. Myron Jones. After the
ceremony was over, Wagner's bridal
march, from "Lohengrin, was played as
the party left the church. Later re-
ception was held at the house of the
brides mother, on Emma street, which
was largely attended.

IRRIGATION IN VICTORIA.


When Australians set about any
thing they generally go to work on a
big scale. There is a scarcity of
water in Victoria, in common with
all the other settlements, and a com
mission was recently sent to the
United States to investigate the
methods of irrigation adopted there.
A report from the Engineer of the
Commission, Mr.. Derry, advising
caution in adopting the Californian
method having been published, those
interested in procuring water adopted
means to influence the Government.
From a Melbourne dispatch of late
date we learn that a deputation num-
beriug 800 persons was brought
down from the northern and north
western districts by two special trains
TO interview the Premier, Mr.. Ser
vice. Their request was that the
Government should borrow G3,OOO,-
900 for the construction of headworks
for irrigation purposes. A repre-
sentative of the Trades and Labor
Council was also present, to show
sympathy with the movement. MI
merous striking illustrations We're
given of the value of irrigation for
wheat crops. The principal resOlu-
ton, which was adopted by the re-
cent Irrigation Conference, held at
Kerang, was, "That the Govern
ment be requested to commission
engineers to mature a scheme to
utilize the waters of the GOulburp,
Campaspe, LOddon, Wimmera, and
other rivers, for the irrigation Of the
plains on a large scale; that SUM OF
money, say 23,OOO,OOO, be immedi-
ateIy borrowed by the State for that
purpose and that, in the meantime,
so as to afford relief in urgent cases,
where any plan had been formulated
which would dOvetail in with the
general comprehensive scheme, they
should be proceeded with at once"
Mr.. Service expressed his sympathy
with the object of the deputatfOn, but
advised it's postponement till the re-
ply Uf the Water Supply Commission
should be received. It is more than
probable that the above suggestion
will be acted upon, and that 49,
OOO, 900 loan will be raised by Victoria
in London for irrigation purposes, 1t
can get the money at 81 per cent by
asking for it.

LOUISIANA RICE CROP.

The "Sugar Bowl" of New Or
leans, has very favorable report of
the rice crop in Louisiana. The esti-
mates are high, ranging all the way
from 700, 900 to 1000, 600 sacks. It in
clines, however, to accept the lowest
figures, which would be an increase
of 40, 276 sacks over last years crop.
This is wonderful increase. There
will probably be IL heavy loss in har-
vesting from the difficulty which
planters encounter in getting labor to
cut the crop. Skilled labor for the
rice fields was scarce, and indeedit was
difficult to get labor of any kind. It
was proposed to use reaping machines
on the crop. The ends of cuts must
be reaped by hand before using the
machine to avoid the irrigating
bitches. This is the statement Of the
Sugar Bowl" 1t may be of interest
to rice growers to state that on the
Carroll plantation, ST. John parish,
Louisiana, there is cut of fifteen
acres of beautiful rice, with long
vigorous stalks, which has not headed
at all. The rice never suffered from
want of water or from any other
cause. Has any similar case been
noticed OH the rice fields in this
country?
