Fourteen of the nineteen saloons in
Hopkinsville were closed Saturday
night. The other five will have to
close Jan. LIST, although four of them
have county licenses that run few
weeks longer. In our last issue we
gave the County Clerks construc-
ton Of the prohibition law and also
that of the Chairman OF the Board of
Councilmen of HOpkinsville. The
saloons closed with few exceptions
were running under city licenses ia
ken out Jan. LIST. The clerk declined
to permit them to remain open until
the city licenses ran out, and notified
all who had taken out county licenses
since April 9th to close. Yesterday
morning there were but five saloons
open and three Of them are in grocer
les. Several of the saloon men were out
on the streetswith plug hats OH were
jolly and good-natured over the mat
ter. We are informed, however, that
they have sent TO Cadiz to see If the
Commonwealth Attorney will not
agree TO let them run without molcs-
tatlon from the grand jury until the
end of the year. This is not at all
likely, though, aud 1t is pretty GER
tain that the saloons closed will not
be re-opened. There is a melancholy
feature about this business that the
prohibitionists do not consider in
their rejoicings. These men are
turned ont of business at very in
opportune time. Winter is coming
on. Most of them are poor men and
cannot make arrangements 10 leave
or to go into other business for some
time at least. The people have decid-
ed that liquor must go, but we feel
assured that they have no unkind
feelings towards the men whose bus
mess has been broken up, Many OF
these men are good and useful citi-
zens. They own their homes here
and their wives and daughters belong
to the various churches and have
helped to contribute of their means
to good and charitable objects. 1t il
to be hoped that no useless exulta
ton will drive them and: thei
families from among us. If they ell
gage in other business let the prohi
bltionists help TO support them will

"Mrs. Wilson the ladies of Christian

gratitude for the work you have done,
Three weeks ago you were a stranger
to us, but IN the homes all over this

gratitude to God for the victory we
have won, aud in a thousand homes
your name is spoken in broken utter
ances. believe this audience will
endorse the statement, that without
your appeals to our men we would
not have won the fight.
1t was suggested that some token
of gratitude be given to you and wo-
men and men asked the privilege of
aiding to that end. Then accept OF
this as an offering prompted by our
hearts; aud know that our prayers
20 up to our Heavenly Father asking
that you may have the strength to
fight many such battles and rejoice
in many such victories; and that
while you are bringing joy and hop'
into so many homes, He may keel
in His own tender hand the littl'
child so dear to your heart. When

The recent congressional election
has stirred up the animals down in
sister Logan. 1t seems that the col
ored men who were engaged in the
tcnsorial business in Russellville
took such an active part in the cleo
ton as to be dubbed offensive parti-
sans" Numerous friends of Mr..
John Rhea became so thoroughly in
dignant at the manner in which the
BARRIERS acted, that they withdrew
their patronage from the colored
shops, that they had for years patron
lied and held upat the detriment oil
worthy white men who had engaged
in the same business there. This soft
impeachment riled the colored popu.
lation 10 great extent, and in conse'
quSnce rumors of ugly threats have

as to write anonymous letters TO thu
more prominent supporters of Mr.
Rhea, informing them "that they had
better look sharp or they would
awake some bright morning and fint
some of their houses in ashes," ant
the like. Mr.. Rhea himself has re
ceived several anonymous letter

| fire to his house. Late last night
while standing in the door of tn
residence of his mother, Mr.. Rhe,
saw some one on the opposite side o
the street lighting matches OH tn
front steps of his house. He rushe'

citizens. Mr.. Rhea seized him in tn
collar and thumped him severel

CALIFORNIA.


SAN Francisco, CAL, Nov. 6.-The
Chronicle claims that Swift, Rep, for
governor, has been counted out in the
city. The Democrats claim the state
for Bartlett by $50 plurality.
The First congressional district is
the only one now doubtful. Riggs,
DEM, is elected in the Second, the re-
naming four have been carried by
the Republicans. Returns for the
legislature are still incomplete, but
there is no doubt but it is Democratic
by at least six majority on joint bal
lot Figures already received indi-
cate II, but the Republican majority
at some points will probably cut these
down.
Exchanges to-day from interior pre-
cincts of the state reduce Bartletts
(Dem. plurality over Swift (Rep.) for
governor to 202. The remaining pre-
cincts to be heard from in the noun
tain counties will probably increase
these figures for Bartlett, but the fl.
nal result cannot yet be determined
Republicans assert that Swift was
counted out in San Francisco. The
Republican state central committee
has, by permission, placed seals Oh
packages containing the votes and or
vaults in which they have been placed
They have also placed two men to
watch the vaults.

THAT POLICE SCANDAL,

Dissatisfaction with the Decision of the
District COmmissioners-The Presidents
Views.
WASHINGTON, Nov. 26.-The decision Of
the District Commissioners in the police
scandal case continues to excite a great deal
of comment. Disagreement with the YER
diet and dissatisfaction with the dismissal
of Lieutenant Arnold are heard everywhere.
On one point there seems to be pretty
general agreement in public, and that Is
that Major Walker, however eXcel,enr
in his intentions and integrity, is not
the proper person to fiji the position
of superintendent of police. Prior
TO the decision, members OF Congress gen-
orally were quite indignant, and some
threaten Congressional Investigation I'M
less the Commissioners gave a satisfactory
verdict, but the retirement of Major Walker
seems to have appeased Congressional
wrath, and members are now apparently
willing to let the matter drop. Colonel
Lamont, the Presidents private secretary,
according to the star last evening is au.
| thOrity for the statement that the President
has lost no sleep on account OF the police
middle. This remark was not intended,
| however, to convey the imuTessiOn that the

but rather that he did not feel inclined
| to interfere either by expressing an

MEXICAN REFORM.

The system OF the states Collecting Im-
port Duties ON Goods in Transit Abol-
ished.
CITY OF MEXIco, Nov, 27.--An impOr-
tant economic reform was formally pro-
claimed yesterday. A movement has been
going on for some time for putting an end
to the system of taxation whereby the
States collected duties on national and for
Cign merchandise in transit through their
respective territories, a system which has
been pronounced by railway managers more
harmful 10 the development of the internal
commerce of the country than any
other plan thar could have been
devised. In May last constjtu-
tiona amendment was submitted to the
States fOrbiddng the imposition OF transit
duties, import duties on products of other
States and on the expectation of merchan-
disc, either manufactured articles or pro-
ducts of the soil. The amendment also fOrbids
the States to assign special routes for the
conveyance of goods OF native origin, as has
heretofore been done; also TO put higher
duty on foreign goods than will be fixed
by federal law. 1t is expected that Con-
gress will fix a uniform tax Of five per
cent. ad valOrem. This amendment having
been adopted by the majority Of the
States has received the sanction of
both chambers of Congress and was
proclaimed in the usual form, being read in
various points in the city and copies of il
posted on walls. The ceremony took place
between nine o'clock and noon yesterday,
troops forming part Of the official process
sion through the city.
