IT the contention is renewed on the old limo,
the chances are more than even that war will
result. Mr.. Glodstono's pacific influence is no
longer available TO steer England In the paths
Of peace, and 1t Is not unlikely that the Tory
Ministry, instead of avoiding war, may even
view a contest with Russia with favor as n

virtually decided that II Is sound public policy
TO reject the bids Of contractors employing free
honest labor II work can be done more cheaply
by convict competition.
1t is preposterous to Justify this action. The
people, whose agents have done this thing, can
not afford, and do not want 10 afford, to de-
grade labor They could better afford to pay
even the most oxorbtant prices for the work of
regular mechanics and laborers than to let
such work be branded with the insult that has
been put on IL In this case.
If Mr.. Secretary Manning were TO take the
sense Of the people on this question he would
find that there Is almost entire uuanlmity of
opposition to convict labor on Government
work. If his party has the nerve to stand up
for the policy he has adopted, IL will be hope
lessly defeated in every State where ballots are
freely cast and honestly counted.
The labor question is looming up rs the In
evltablc great issue of the immediate future.
The Democratic party Is making needless haste
to plant itself firmly on the wrong side. While
southern Democrats are degrading labor by
many cunning devices for cheating the ignorant
black me n out of their earnings, the Admins
trotlon goes on record in favor OF convict com.
petition with honest worti ngmen.

Sixteen of those admitted were
colored men. Three or four persons
who held tickets failed TO put in an
appearance in time.
The SOUTH KENTUCKIAN is being
congratulated on every hand for its
enterprise in reporting the hanging.
Within two. hours and forly-four
minutes after the body was cut down
the paper was being sold on the
streets, containing three column
account of the hanging, including
shorthand report of the prisoners
speech on the scaffold. We not only
gave twelve columns of reading
matter pertinent TO the subject, but
also presented portraits Of both Tay>
lor and Sheriff Boyd, at heavy ex-
pense. This stroke Of enterprise
stands without parallel in tic his
tory of journalism in Kentucky, city
papers not excepted.
The tickets 10 the. hanging were
printed Oh yellow paper with a heavy
black border. They contained pic

blank TO fill in the names oflhe holder

and ordered to be taken TO the Insane
Asylum at Hopkinsville. lie was a
blacksmith, German and man OF
powerful build, yet seemed to be
harmless. Sheriff Lunsford and IL.
Petry started with him, taking the
eleven o'clock train. He made no
resistance, but seemed satisfied.
Sheriff Lunsiord occupied seat with
him on the train. just before they
reached Crofton the prisoner asked
for q drink of water, which the sher-
if went,to land after drinking
one cup asked for more, which Luns-
ford went for, but while gone the
prisoner sprang through the window
his head and shoulders striking the
ties. The train was running at 0
rapid rate, but was stopped as soor
as possible and backed to the scene Of
the accident. The man was insensi

The H. 4 CIR. R. Party.

The surveying party of the II. n
G. Road returned Saturday night,
having surveyed nine miles the first
week. They report the country much
levoler than they expected to find it.
They started on level with the
court-house-about 100 feet above
sea level-and in the first fsur miles
the only elevation of any consequence
was hill 20 feet higher. Two miles
further they crossed a valley so feet,
or 80 feet below the level Of the
starting point, which was the lowest
depression. This fall showed l20
feet to two miles or GO feet to the
mile, when their limit is 80 feet to
the mile. So ii will be seen that this
would be very moderate slope
Nine miles from the city they struck
the foot of Mt. Carmel Ridge, upon
which they are now at work. This
is the highest point on the line, be-
ing 275 feet above sea level. They
will be able TO cross it with an as
cent of rs feet, 8 feet less than their
limit. The party left yesterday
morning to finish to the c. 81 ..
They will probably be gone two
weeks or more. The line is expected
to intersect the g. Il o. between st.
Charles and Dawson, probably three
miles from the latter place. The
surveyors are meeting with encour-
agement all along the line and are
much pleased with the outlook.
They are camping in the woods and
doing their own cooking. Wharton
Crabb and Charlie Krantz, the axe
men, are also doing the culinary du.
ties in good style. They are both
excellent men to have on hand and
are giving the, best of satisfaction.

MR. EDITOR:
The notable events of this week
began at an early hour last Tuesday
morning, with the marriage Of our
young friends, DR.. Frank Runyon
and Miss Brenda Vineyard-.in the
Baptist church of this place. The
ccremony-by Rev Mr.. Lockett-was
impressive. The contracting parties
seemed unusually composed and hap
py, while the lady attendants looked
charming in the mellow morning
light, clad in white and wear
ing roses of different colors, ("Twas a
rose wedding-by the way.O Imme-
diately after the ceremony the happy,
pair left for White Sulphur, Rich
mond, Va, Old Point, Washington
City and other places. The atten-
dants and few friends were most
agrceably entertained at Prof Vine
yards the evening before, the writer
amongst them, when she saw some
lovely presents which the bride had
received.
Mr.. James Y. Cabaniss and family
with Mrs. b. Dickinson, left for
Dawson Tuesday evening.
Very glad to report ourlittle friend
Bessie Garth, convalescing.
Rev. w. IL. Ryals and lady who
have been on visit to DR.. Dickinson,
left for Trenton, Tenn, Tuesday
morning.
Our sidewalks are being improved.
We are to have a new store and a
town paper, and when Henderson
bridge is completed the number of
our daily trains will be doubled and
we can at least imagine we are live
people.
Among other anticIpations is the
coming-early in July-of "The
Smith family" The performance is
said TO be unique and exceedingly
amusing, but come and judge for
yourself. Believe they claim to have
come over in the Maytlower.
