A rumor that the Republicans OF
the Second district will make NO
nomination for Congress until late in
the campaign when they will endorse
w. l.. Gordon, the Prohibition nom
inec, and vote for him, caused some
comment in local political circles yes
terday. Whether they do or not is
nnimportant. Capt. Ellis could not
be defeated by this means. With such
an arrangement we believe his major
lily would be larger than if he had two
opponents. Mr.. Gordon is an old Re-
publican and would be acceptable as
a candidate to many men ofthat party.
But there are many others, among
them some of the most prominent and
influential Republicans in the dis
trict, who would vote for Ellis
rather than Prohibitionist. There
are Prohibitionists, too, who would
then consider their own party's NOM
nation of Gordon--once so prominent
in the Republican party-amere trick |
to weaken the Democrats, and who
would not vote for him. The Prohi-
bition vote in this district is incense
quentional at best. An attempted |
coalition would drive more Republi-
cans and Prohibitionists TO the Dem
ocratic ranks than the unifcation OF
those two parties would amount to.
We should be glad TO see them try it. |

The idea of the couDties of Chris
tian and Trigg building and operat-
ing railroad from this city TO Cum
berland river is project which needs
careful consideration. 1t is problem
attic to say the least. The general
scheme looks feasible, but how IL
would work out in the matter of de-
tails is hard to determine. That such
thing has never been done is no ar
gument that II cannot be done: yet
experience is always valuable, and
when history repeats itself in the
matter of failure, it Is terrible. We
call to mind the construction of the
Cincinnati Southern by the city of
Cincinnati. An immense amount Of
money was put into the enterprise
and the road was one of the best
equipped in the county, The city
was going to operate ii for its own
benefit, not expecting to realize accent
on the investment, yet in a few years
the people were hunting for some
body TO give il TO. We do not wish
to throw a single pebble in the path
of any railroad enterprise, but our
people should be careful not to make
mistake. 1t appears that we are
much in the attitude of Cincinnati !;
however, we say let us ventillste the
scheme, look at it up one side and
down the!other, see what is in it, and
if il is plausible let us try it quick, and
then if we fail we can rise from the
ashes for another flight. The KEN
TUCKIAN occupies this position
"Give every man and every plan
fair chance; keep knocking out i'm
prlcticabii;ies and incompetents,
and let's get downto rock bottom bus

600, for the expenditures of the gov
eminent. $S0,000,000 used for PEN
sions and the $j0,0OO,0OO for interest
charges on war liabilities more than
use up all taxes from internal reve-
nue.. Where is the balance to come
from? Why, from customs duties.
That the funds necessary to run the
government should be collected all
or in part, from the duties on imports,
has always been a doctrine of the
country. In 1884 ], myself, wrote
the plank declaring that expenses of
the government in excess of the in
ternal revenue should be raised by
customs. That is part of the pres
ent platform"
