That Legislature.
tMuhlenburg Echo.l

We took run down from Louis.
willie to Frankfort short time age
TO take look at our legislature, We
have always had great amount Of
pride in Kentucky and Kentucky in
situations, but the present legislature
is not one of her institutions that we
are proud of. A short look at the
members composing the body was
sufficient. We do not class il as q
vicious legislature. That is, one OF
your old time corrupt, crooked, boo
die legislatures. 1t is not that. II
hasn't the ability to be. 1t needs lie
examination before common school
commissioner to find out what is the
matter with this legislature. II is
plain old fashioned ignorance. Fol
this simple reason 1t could never be
greatly good or greatly evil. To this
want of common sense there are a
few exceptions but they exceed not in
numbers the fingers on your hand
With its ignorance is linked as q
necessary adjunct a self esteem that
brooks no question as to its ability to
deal with every matter before it with
consummate craftsmanship. On every
question of importance arising be-
fore this legislature it has had for
ty-nine suspicious 10 one rational
idea. Another feature Is the indo-
lence of the body. 1t is not indiiler-
ence but genuine old fashioned in
dividual laziness. Such laziness as
a member if he was at home would
turn farm hand off for at twelve
o'clock and pay him for quarter of
a days work. This may appear TO
be harsh language, but it is true, and
the people of Kentucky should listen
to it until they are awakened to the
necessity of electing men of ability
sufficient to make their laws. When
we say people we mean republicans
as well as democrats, for with all the
furry of Billy o. Bradley over the
state last summer they succeed in
electing very poor tail TO what has
been classed as the very worst legis-
lature the country has ever seen.

Good Citizen, Vote!
Henderson News. |

We hold il to be the duty which
every good citizen owes to his coun
try TO attend elections and vote. Nc
matter how small the office to be
filled, go to the polls and vote.
Vote for the man who is qualified
to fill the position, taking into con-
sideration his mental. physical and
not least, his moral fitness. We take
the position that no man who is a
moral reprobrate is qualified for or
should receive any gift at the hands
of the people. Nor should any man
who is unable to manage his own af-
fairs, who waists his time in idleness,
dissoluteness and nOtous living, be
countenanced for a moment.
1t has almost become an adage
among good people, than an honest,
industrious and sober mau is hardly
eligible, much less can he lie elected
to office. Should there not be change
in this state of affairs? Should not
worth, should not merit be the stand
ard ? We appeal to all good citizens
to aid us IN bringing about the de-
sired result. You can only do it by
going to the polls and casting your
vote.

He Saved Two Trains.

BoNHAM, Tex, March 6.--Sunday
night serious accident to two or more
trains was narrowly averted on Bosdeau
Bottom, three miles east of this place.
by the heroic efforts of a farmer. The
continued hard rains had washed out
an embankment for distance of about
sixty feet, leaving the track supported
only by the FISH bars which connected
the rails. The farmer, who was walk
ing on the track, discovered the wash
out, and knowing that a freight train
would soon be due, he secured lantern
and running up the track through the
storm toward the coming train, he sue
ceeded, by frantically waving his Ian
tern, in stopping the train just at the
brink of the washout. Immediately
following the freight was the cannon
ball passenger train, which was also
stopped just in time. 1t is understood
that the farmer will be suitably re-
Warded.

BERLIN, March 6.-Authentic reports
received from San Reno tonight state
that Prof. Waldemeyer has greatly i'm
proved the Crown Princes cough, but
has unhesitatingly pronounced the mat
ter expelled from the patients throat to
be cancerous. The Reichs Anzeiger
published bulletin from San Reno
signed by DrS. Mackenzie, Schrader,
Kranz, Howell Bergman and Bra
mann, declaring that there are no diff.
ferences of opinion among the physi-
clans attending the Crown Prince re-
garding the nature of his illness, nor do
they maintain that a dangerous
turn of the malady is imminent.
The sole responsibility in the case re-
mains as prior to the operation of
Trachiatomy in the hands of DR.. Mac
kenzie. In the interest of the patient
the signers of the bulletin request the
German and foreign newspapers not to
discuss the nature of the crown princes
illness or the methods of treatment en-
ployed by his physicians. The local
disturbances in the patients larynx are
not appreciably altered. The wound
caused by the operation of Tracheot-
omy is healed, and the tube inserted in
his throat gives the patient no discom-
