STRONG FACTS.

There is no line of business where
there is more room for deception and
fraud than the jewelry business, as
the majority Of the people know
nothing of the quality OF jewlry, but,
have to rely upon the honesty and
responsibility Of tie Jeweler. Mr..
Howe has always made it a rule in
his business never to allow one az
ticle TO leave his store under a
misrepresentation. This has won
for him a wide reputation and has
been, the "corner stone" in his
business.
Energetic and reliable, practically
and theoretically conversant with all
the details of his business, moderate
and liberal in his prices, he has made
himself well-earned reputation and
assumed position worthy of record
among the enterprising business men
of Hopkinsville.

j. NJ. HOWE'S
JEWELRY PALACE.

There is no better known business
spot in the city of IIopkinsville than
Howe's Jewelry Palace, corner Main
and Spring SITS.
This house was established 23yedrs
ago and has always kept the lead as
Hopkinsyile's "Old Reliable" in the
jewelry line.
There are few industries ofthe city
which the South KENTUCKIAN will
record that require higher or more
refined taste in their operations than
that of the jewelry business, but the
eminent success which has attended
the reliable establishment and con-
Quoting Of this branch Of trade by
Jas. NJ. Howe is sufficient evidence
Of his thorough adaptation to its re-
quircmcnts.
The above popular establishment
is kept constantly well stocked with
full assortment of jewelry, diamonds
watches, clocks, spectacles, etc, all of
standard makes and for sale at prices
uniformly low and satisfactory.
ROCKFORD WATCHES.
Besides importing every kind of
Jewelry for ladies and gentlemen,
such as walchchaims, earrings, sleeve
buttons Nc, all in novel and beautiful
designs. Mr.. Howe, sells as a specially
the famous "Rock ford" quick train
watches, which are now considered
the most reliable and durable time
keepers in the market. They are
neat, Of medium size and suitable
for both open tuce and hunting cases
and are well liked by every one who
wears them. They are now beng
adopted by Railroad men as the best
watches made.

The Great Commander.

Thursday the news represented the
general in a very critical condition.
He was seized with another choking
fit at a. m. Wednesday, caused by the
gathering of mucous matter in his nos
trils and throat. He had been doing
since | o'clock. He lost the power of
speech for few moments and ap-
peaTed to be suffOcating. The family
were aroused and all gathered at his
bedside. They were much alarmed,
but the general himself was not much
frightened. The attack did not last
long, but left him exceedingly weak.
His death throughout the day was
looked for.
Friday the news came that he was
feeling better than at any time during
the past two days, and indications
were favorable for a comfortable night.
At ) a. m. the patient seemed to be
sinking rapidly. His pulse suddenly
failed, and, in order TO revive it, DIR.
Shrady gave hypOdermic injection of
brandy. The family were aroused aud
quickly gathered at his bedside. At
$50 the group in the sick-rOOm be-
lieved the patient was passing away
and the doctors thought the general
would not live five minutes. Stimu-
lants were again administered hypO-
dermically, and that wonderful tenaci-
ty of life and strength of intellect sus-
tanned the general. His mind was clear
as the daylight he had lived to see
again. When the general had revived
a trif1e and was little stronger he
glanced at the members of the family,
the physicians, DIR. Newman and the

that result are unwittingly upbraid-
ing those leaders. The fact is we could
not carry on the national hOuse-keep-
ing one day if one half of our people
were permanently excluded from its
administration, and it shows great
want of faith in the permanent results
of twenty years of republican rule to
cry out when another party has only
won the right of collecting and dis
bursting the public revenues for four
years, that ours is the lost cause.
Isolated acts of individuals once in
rebellion may be offensive, and call
not only for spirited criticism, but for
sharp rebuke but they need occasion
no alarm, and should be discussed with
decent regard for the truth of the
substantial loyalty of all our people.
Rebellion and reconstruction have
wrought great change in our social
and political fabric. They have left
their legacy of suffering, debt and
struggle for the people of both sec
tions. After generations cannot
wholly escape these evils. The bur
den of this generation will not be made
lighter 10y any words or acts which
tend to keep alive old animOsities.
If the republican party is wise it will
stifle the hysterical cry of its Bourbon
members and turn its face toward the
future.

The Canadian Rebellion.

Along with the recent war despatch
es from Afghanistan and Central Amer
lea, have come reports of an uprising
nearer home, namely rebellion among
the half breeds and Indians of the far
Northwest against the Dominion gov
eminent. The leader and instigator
of it is half-breed named Louis Riel,
rebel and agitatOr of fifteen years
standing. Just what the prOvocation
to the rebellion is, if any really exists,
is difficult to determine. 1t is simply
known that for some months past Riel
has been endeavOring to formulate the
natural and inherited discomfort of the
Indians and half-breeds on the out
skirts of the Prince Albert settlement,
situated to the northwest of Manitoba,
into a combination against the DOmin
ion government on the score of inius-
tice in land grants. Having gathered
a considerable force of men, of num-
bers variOusly estimated, he set up
claim to all the land of the Prince AL
bert settlement on ground of prior pos
ses sion, and placed himself in open re-
bellion against the government. Both
Indians and half-breeds are included
in the rebel force.
Col. Watson of the Canadian army
expresses the belief that this trouble
in the Northwest will be more serious
than had at first been anticipated, as
Riel seemed to have perfect control
over the half breeds and Indians. He
adds
"While the number of men under
Riel's control has doubtless been exag-
gerated, there is no question that he is
strongly backed with large force of
experienced and well-equipped warri-
Ors. If he maintains his stubbOrnness
great difficulty will be experienced in
subduing him, as the warfare will be
conducted for the most part on Indian
principles, and the running fights that
will necessarily ensue will be prolong-
ed for months perhaps. The rebel
chieftain has the reputation of being
shrewd and crafty man who knows no
such word as fear. Besides being per
fectly familiar with all modes of Indian
warfare, lie is well versed in military
tactics and is a man by no means to be
despised."
In speaking of the part which the
Fenians are said to be taking in the
outbreak, the colonel said that, while
many discredit the idea that they have
anything to do with it, certain moves
make it seem probable.
The more recent dispatches repre-
sent affairs as growing worse. One
dated March 30, from Col. Irvine said
that supplies were scarce and unless

The Boston & Lowells "Strate-
gic Movement"

Tie talk of the week has been the
change on the Lake road. Railroad
men are close mOuthed, and that leaves
the general public to speculate. Those
who think they know something about
the matter and can guess the remain
der, make talk not particularly favor
able to st. JOhnsbury and its interests.
They say that the Lowell railroad have
purpose of opening competing line
from Boston to Montreal. That if they
get possession of the branch of road in
Canada now controlled by the South
eastern-the Montreal, Portland 81
BOstOn-there will be only eight or ten
miles of road to build between Sheldon
and connecting point in Canada.
There will then be link to build of
about fifteen miles, between Hardwick
and Marshfield, and the Lowell has
much the shortest line to Montreal
some say from 30 to 40 miles shorter
than the Central, which is now the
shortest line. This of course will give
the new line great advantage and
make it a powerful rival of the Central
from the start. The new route will be
over the Boston & Lowell to Concord,
thence to Plymouth, Wells River,
Marshfeld, Hardwick, and Sheldon.
This program, if carried out, leaves st.
JOhnsbury out in the cold. The main
offices, repair shops, etc, will be some
where else. In this event good many
people will either leave town or be
thrown out of place, and the large
sums of money invested in the road
from Lunenburg to Swanton were
spent in vain.
The above is one speculation or
prophecy, and the other side represents
the new strategic movement as of great
value to Vermont, and st. JOhnsbury
i'll particular. 1t is said that the BOs-
ton & Lowell road is q wealthy and
progressive corporation that what
ever they assume they make to sue
coed that they give the public better
service and accommodations at lower
rates than any other corporation run
ming north from Boston, and that this
people are extremely fortunate in hav-
ing the Lake road fall into their hands.
"YOu pays your money and takes your
choice" Meanwhile it is freely stated
the offices of the road will be remOv ed
the first of June and that the main re-
pairs will go even earlier.

Political Mysteries.

Some of our republican contempOra-
ries are uncOnsciOusly abusing those
who have been their party leaders
since 1865. Smarting under defeat
they are allowing one of those individ
ual exhibitions of sectional feeling
which are becoming rarer every year,
to throw them into Mysteries and are
crying: The party of rebellion is in
power and treason is triumphant. Such
shrieking is unworthy of public teach
ers and is not heard from wise pOliti-
clans. What are the facts
Both the great parties of this cOun-
try have materially changed since 1865,
in their aims and in the persons who
platforms have been so similar that
their only real difference has seemed
to many honest voters to be that be-
tween the ms and the outs. Not even
the confederate brigadiers now seek to
sever the Union. Net one among them
avows regret at the failure of the re-
belliOn.
Twenty years ago the republican
leaders had to attempt the recOnstruc-
ton of the South. 1t was one of the
most difficult Political problems of
modern times. For four years nearly
half our people had been fighting to
get out of the Union. They had been
defeated. The supreme question was,
how should they be treated
Only two courses seemed to be open.
Those who had lately been in rebellion
mnst either be put and kept under
military government, and the whole
South treated as military province,
or, they must be re-admitted to the
rights and duties of citizens at the
earliest moment consistent with ma
tional safety. The first course would
have required n large standing army
it was repugnant to men who had in
herited the traditions of AnglO-SaxOn
liberty, and might create permanent
menace to the peace and prosperity of
the North. The latter course, there
fore, was adopted and by the leaders
of the republican party. 1t is true that
they feared the early return of those
who had been in rebellion to political
power, but they believed that such re-
turn would be an infinitely smaller
evil than long military government of
the South.
The result proves the wisdom of
their action. If the union should be
attacked tomorrow, no people of any
section would come to it's defence more
promptly and zealously than those
who are now spoken of as triumphant
traitors. 1t is high time to cut out
such dry-rOt from the body of political
discussion. The history of civil wars
teaches the wisdom of dropping such
language. Its continued use convicts
of political immaturity and of bondage
to political superstition which most
communities have outgrOwn. What
has come to pass is the natural and
necessary result OF what the republi-
can leaders did. Those who dislike

Some people still wonder that Presi-

important Office in the country to a re-
publican by re-appOinting Postmaster
Pearson in New York. Look at the
record: Mr.. Pearson grew up in the
office and knew the business like a
book lie never permitted political as
sessments on his employees; he would
not even allow his carriers to vote for
president when it interfered with their
regular delivery of mail and not a re-
publican has had an appointment I'M
der him except through the open door
of competitive examinations. This
mans appointment was business af-
fair, not n political one.
