strong now, but before the public
clamor such course would create, its
support must speedily pull away this
ruin to it."
The Mail independently of Toronto,
commenting on the treaty, says: "As a
matter of fact, it was f0reordained that
the dominion should suffer. Mr.. Cham
berlain told us in so many words that
he had come to America to terminate
the fishery dispute somehow, and the
English journals frankly stated that
England could not afford to quarrel with
her best foreign customer for the sake
of our fish. 1t has been the fate of Can
ada from the beginning to suffer for inn
perial interests, but in this instance the
cup presented to our lips appears to be
an unusually bitter one"
The Montreal Herald says: eve
have, therefore, got nothing, while we
have given up our touch and trade con-
tentiOn, which the fleet was fitted out
to enforce in 1885, and have conceded
everything. Common justice to Sir
Charles cOmpels us to reserve our criti-
ciSmS till we ascertain what the treaty
really means; but we fear the worst
from the tone of the American press.
We have not learned what efforts, if
any, were made to get her fish admitted
free, but feel that any arrangement
short of that will be looked upon as
failure by our fishermen and a sacrifice
of Canadian interests"
The Halifax Chronicle (LiberaD says:
Dispatches from Washington declare
that the treaty just concluded is salts
factory to representatives of three coun-
tries. This is quite possible, and yet
it may be very unsatisfactory to the
people of one of the countries at least.
From authentic reports reciprocity is
left out of the account. 1t is not even
stipulated that Canadian fishermen are
to have the right to sell their fish in
American markets free of duty. What,
then, in the name of common sense is
there to hope for in the treaty which has
now been signed? Unless, however, we
| mistake the temper of the country, the
people of Canada will resent any sur
render of rights of Canadian fishermen
for the mere purpose of Suiting imperial
interests. This is question in which
Nova Scotia is especially interested.
More than half of the entire fishing in
dustry i'll Canada belongs to Nova
Scotia. 1t is the most important in
duStry we possess. TO give American
fishermen full rights in our waters, and
to enable them to use our ports as a
bark of operation without any equiva-
lent, is simply base and VICTORIOUS
surrender of the Canadian caSe-a back
down from the lofty position assumed a
year ago by our government"

ASHLAND, Feb. 1S.-OfficerS are on
the lookout for two women who have
been begging at the lumber camps for
funds to build Franciscan sisters
hospital. The women, when at Bay
field, excited suspicion by not going to
the Franciscan chapel there, although
they spent two days in the town. Bishop
FlaSch, of La Crosse, has informed Bay
field county officers that no one has
been authorized to go there to beg. The
women are still in the woods OH ven
ture the like of which has perhaps
never before been undertaken. From
the stories that have come from the
camps it appears they are being treated
like angels, and besides finding the
most comfortable quarters over night
and grub fit for queens, have
touched" the industrious woodsmen
for some snug little sums. Officers are
on guard, and when they come out of
the woods they will be asked to explain

A New Departure in Court

A gentleman told us the other day
of the way newly incorporated
town has adopted in filming the rail.
road company for running fast trains
through the town. The village OF
Empire lies back OF a hill from the
l.. & N. railroad, not a house being
In sight from the railroad. The
grade at This point we have Seen tolG,
is very heavy, SO heavy that long
freight trains have to be pulled up
the road in sections, Going the other
way, the speed of trains is so great
that a slow. speed can not be obtained
by shutting off all steam and vigor-
ously applying the brakes. The story
goes that not many days ago the mar
shal of Empire wssup on the hill and
saw couple of trains running
through the town faster, as he thought
than the ordinance permitted and he
at once reported to the Judge of the
town. The aforesaid Judge at once
sat down and entered fine of $40
against the railroad for the oflense in
both cases. Thatsanew way, though
it may not be very effective, in get
Ting even with railroads.

The East and West Railroad.

The proposition for Christian coun-
ty to subscribe 100000 to this road
will be presented to the County Court
next Monday. The proposition will
be in substance that when the road
is built into IIopkinsville 100000 of
the bonds are to be delivered TO the
company, and when the eastern edge
of the county is reached by the road
the other 100000 in bonds are TO be
issued. These bonds will bear five
per cent. interest, payable annually,
and will DO payable in 30 years, but
may be redeemed at the option Of the
county at anytime after five years
So ii is seen that il will be twelve
months after the read is built to Hop
kinsville before any interest is TO be
paid and then only on half the bonds,
and u months after the road is COM
pleted to the eastern edge of the coun-
ty before the interest is payable on
the second hundred thousand.
This is certainly the fairest and
best proposition ever made 10 coun-
ty needing a road as badly as our
county needs one. 1t is admitted by
all business men and others who are
acquainted with the country along
the line of this proposed road thai
when built il will be paying road
That the stock will be as valuable as
that of many of the best roads in the
country. Therefore the county's in
vestment in the road would be
good one.
The value of the taxable property |
of the county is now about eight mil
lions of dollars, the interest at five
per cent. ON 100000 would be $1,000,
To raise this ten thousand dollars
would require only twelve and one
half cents on the one hundred dollars
worth of property. In other words,
4 man who owns one thousand dol
airs in value of property would pay
only one dollar and twenty-five cents
railroad tax. With this road bnilt
here is no farmer or business man or i
mechanic in the county who would
not be benefited by the increasing OF
,alues and the conveniences of the
Dad more than The amount ofhis tax
FOR these reasons this is golden t
pportunity for our people, and il d
hey fail TO take advantage of ii, it c
yill be great mistake. We hope,
therefore,, the Magistrates will sub
lit the proposition and let the peo- p
lie decide what they want in the 4
natter. We believe this would give
ensrsl satisfaction TO all, and would 4
ave no room for discomfort among t
ur people.

The Presidential election is but a
little over three weeks OIL, and the
Democrats ofChristian county should
make good use Of the time interven-
ing between now and the 9Th OF No.
vember. 1t is not saying too much TO
assert that the Democracy throughout
the county are more aroused than
they have been at any time during
the past decade. The same euthusi-
asm prevails all over the State. The
State organization has probably new.
er been as near complete as at this
time. Great things are expected Of
Kentucky Democrats this fall, and
great results will follow the work
that has been going on in the state for
several months. The State is made
up of the counties, and the counties
where the Democrats have MAORI
ties those maiorities should be in
creased in those counties where the
Republicans have majoriues those
majorities should be decreased, and
If possible overcome. The question
as 10 how New York or Indiana or
Connecticut may 90 is not the one at
this time for us TO consider. Those
States are doing their own work and
Kentucky must do hers. Christian
county Democrats must help the
State. No Democrat shonld DO content
because "Kentucky will 60 10000
Democratic, anyway Indifference
has prevailed too long in the county
and every one who believes in the
principles of the party should realize
that if he casts his vote the state ma
ioritiy will be just one larger, than
if he had staid away from the poles
on election day. The Republicans
will do every thing in their power to
cut down the Democratic majority in
the state and the Democracy Of Chris
tian must do its whole part in the
work that lies before it. Never mind
New York or any other State; act
your own part and see that your
neighbor acts his.

The Cairo and Cumberland Gap
railroad proposition will be submit
ted to our magistrates Monday,
in a condition unobjectionsble, and
backed by guarantee to commence
the work at once and put II through.
We believe there are but few OF
our magistrates opposed to q
submission of the proposition 10 a
vote by tho people, and their ohjeo-
ton is merely based on the prejudice
against taxation. If they will but
lay aside the odious term taxation
and put it on the basis of paying a
small amount for the enhancement
of the property in the county, and a
small portion of the amount Of rebate
received as reduction of freight
rates, it can be easily seen that the
balance will be in favor of the PEG
pie. We believe in a careful invcsli-
CATION into the merits of the road all
objection will pass away.

The gentleman Of whom the above

lucky, in June 1876. AT this juno

lin Favorite, then called The Patriot,
from the late John Brevard, and,
though he was very young man,
Mr.. Milliken conducted the paper
for four years most satisfactorily, and
earned for himself more than a local
reputation as a journalist. lie re-
tired from the newspaper business
and in September accepted lucra-
tive position with the l.. & n. Rail. |
way company as emigrant agent al
Franklin. lie deported himself with
such credit that he was promoted TO
the position Of travelling passenger
agent with limited territory, aud in
1883, his territory was extended over
the L. " N system, taking in sou b
and east. In 1885 he was appointed
city ticket agent of the l. Il n. al
aud in June, 1887, he was
made district passenger agent, which
position he now holds. His present
function is the supervision of the
passenger business in Louisville, and
Ihs territory south, west and east
thereof. Thus ii is seen that Mr..
Milliken has been rapidly promoted
to more and more important places,
until, beginning as local emigrani
agent, he has attained his present EN-.
inence, and all within the brief period
Of six years. Such welnigh unpar-
alleled success is only the sequential
outcropping of a nature full of in
