Attorney General Garland's Decision.
1t might have been expected that Demo
cratic Attorney General Garland would
render an adverse decision in the Dolphin
case. The party would never have for
given him if he hadn't. The question of
the United States navy and the appropria-
tions made for it during previous Repub-
liCan administrations, Is one of the topics
on which the new administration and the
Democratic and assistant Democratic or
gans are rabid. EX-Secretary Chandler
will now have II double and triple dose of
newspaper vtuperation and Mr.. Roach
will have to quit reading the newspapers
for awhile, if he doesn't want to be in
formed what a low-lved, mercenary.

ceSsOrS
But the decision of the Attornev-G Cen
eral is SO obviously preiudiced that it will
not be accepted without question, and the
matter will probably be carried to the
supreme Court. The ATTORNEY. General
holds that no contract exists between
Mr.. Roach and the government: that the
vessel cannot be accepted by the Secretary
of the Navy; and-to cap the climax
that the sums of money already
paid for the vessel may be recovered. If
no contract exists between Mr.. Roach
and the government. how did he happen
to obtain the instructions from the adyl-
sorry board created by Congress for the
purpose of taking in charge the building
of government vessels His contract was
fairly and honestly obtained over various
competitors, he being the lowest bidder

If the statement is true that President

other than the fact that from one to Il hun

Kansas has put in an emphatic plea for
aid against the Indians on her borders
She claims that the government ought to
either remove them or furnish the state
troops to protect the people against their
invasions. The demand would seem to be
IA just one. If the government under
takes to confine the Indians upon reserva-
tions, it should do so. 1t is no part of the
duty of Kansas as State, to take charge
of the nations wards, just because they
happen to be their next door neighbors
Nevertheless, it is not best for the set
tiers to permit themselves to be raided
and murdered, if the general government
fails of its duty.

1t is said that Postmaster-Genera Villas
will recommend the establishment of one
cent postage for letters and newspapers,
when he sends his first annual report to
Congress. If the suggestion should be
adopted, it would indeed he the browning
act of most expeditions reform in this
direction. We hardly think, however,
that the time is ripe for penny postage,
The government has made two very radi-
cal postal changes within a short time,
both of which have necessarily affected
its revenue from this department. Should
these reforms prove not to be too great a
tax upon the department, after fair trial,
it will be time to begin to talk of penny
postage.

In the House of Commons last

to lay a temporary tax upon beer
and spirits to meet the deficiency in
the budget, was rejected by vote of
264 to 252. An unusual scene was
the result; the opposition were wild
with joy and taunted Premier Glad
stone. Gladstone faced them with
perfect equanimity and cOolness, ap-
parently not surprised at his defeat.
The Irish members voted in body
against the Government, led by
Parnell, who claims that he and his
party have won great victory. The
Conservatives will not find their
success at all profitable; burden
will be placed upon them that it is
likely they cannot bear, and besides,
the Liberals have working majority
in the House. 1t is believed that the
Conservaties will so conduct them
selves in Office as to cause their defeat
at the general elections in the au-
tum. Gladstone is grander man

benefited them more than any other
man of his age, except of course

A Sketch of the New Collector,

In order To give its readers an ides
of the character of Democrat who /,
TO succeed Capt. Farley rs collector o
this district, the Messenger has beer
at pains to learn something of the per
sonal and political history of Mr.. Hun.
ter Wood, who, 1t takes pleasure in say
ing, will make an honest, capable and
energetic official.
Mr.. Wood was born in Albemarlt
county, Va, i'm 1915, and is now thirty.
nine years of age. He is graduate o
the Virginia Military Institute, at Lex,
ington, and afterward studied law al
the University of Virginia, at Char.
lottesyille. In 1867 he came 20 Ken.
lucky and located at Hopkinsville. In
lS6s he was appointed Master Com
missioner of the Christian Circuit Court
and held the place eight years. He
was elected County Attorney in 1876
and served four years. In 1874 he was
elected Commonwealth Attorney oi
the Judicial District presided over 10y
Judge John X. Grace, over A. X. Brad
ley, Of Madisonville, and J. h. Hewlett
and G. Il. Allen, of Princeton, and
served in this position six years.
Twelve years ago Mr.. Wood, in con-
monwealth's Attorney in Louisville,
and Sam Nj. Gaines, the famous para
graphist, bought the Kentucky New
Era, a paper that had been started at
Hopkinsville as an independent Re-
publican sheet. When Mr.. Caruth
removed TO Louisville Mr.. Wood bought
the entire proprietary interest in the
NeW Era, but Mr.. Gaines continued as
Its editor, and through their combined
efforts il became not only a financial
success, but a newspaper of almost ma
tional reputation. When Mr.. Gaines
removed to Frankfort, three years ago,
James II. Wood, brother of the new
collector, assumed editorial control of
the Ne,O Era, and il continues to -four
ish like a green bay tree. Hunter Wood,
however, has always attended to his
law practice and never edited the
paper.
He has been a member of the Dem-
ocratic State Central Committee and
is now a member of the State Execu.
tive Committee. AS has been pre-
viously stated Mr.. Wood WAS one of
the delegates from the Second Com
gressional district at the last Demo-
cratic National Convention, and made
the happy choice of Cleveland, voting
for him in the Convention from the
first, though he stood alone in the Ken
lucky delegation, the others voting for
Bayard and Mcdonald. Mr.. Wood
was frequently noticed In consultation
during the Convention with Mr.. Man.
ming, who was Mr.. Cleveland's man
ager, and it was then that he made his
first impression on the present Secre
tary of the Treasury.
In personal appearance Mr.. Wood is
below the average height of men, and
is broad shouldered and "heavy set"
His complexion is fair, his hair light,
his eyes gray, and he wears a small
sandy moustache. His countenance is
open and candid, and he is unassum-
ing, cordial and genial in his manners.
