tracing the "rooting" ground Of the
swine and the Scratching ground OF
the fowl, in order to plant in Tobacco
would not have undertaken the task,
and would consequntly be more con-
tented and happy when the year lSSS
has expired. Sore heads and aching
hearts will be common among Tobac-
co planters before the yearis closed If
present prospects are fulfilled, and we
fear that il is almost useless to argue
with the ordinary planter who has
been enchanted with the prices paid
some planters for their 1887 crop of
White Burley, and never stop to ask
themselves why such prices were
paid, seeming to believe either that
no matter what the supply is, manu-
facturers will pay fancy prices for it,
or that only himself is smart enough
to take advantage of the high prices
by producing large crop. One
thing is sure, If such crop of White
Burley is planted as our correspond
ence and exchanges indicates, there
will be harvest for manufacturers
seldom vouchsafed them, and we
think our foreign friends can count on
eventually getting all this type they
want at prices that will give them
no cause for quibbling.-Tobacco

A disclosure is about TO be made
in Evansville, Ind, which will neces-
state the changing hands of thous-
ands of dollars. a wealthy spirit
ualist by the name of Barnes, died
in that city many years ago, and af-
ter his death his will disappeared,
aud was never found, and the for
tune passed into the hands of distant
relatives. During recent seance
in that city, the medium was given
the secret of the lost will, which had
been placed IN the pocket of the dead
man by an interested party and was
buried with him. The body will be
exhumed and the tomb searched, and
if the missing will is found the prop
erty which has increased ten fold,
will be transferred to its rightful
owners.

The press as well as the debate at
Frankfort have invited attetion to
the railroad legislation which is now
pending. We have seen criticisms
of the annual re port of the railroad
commission, which do not speak well
for the Commissioners. These criti-
cisms are very explicit and show
quite conclusively that the Commis-
sioners have failed TO appreciate the
delicate duties they were charged to
perform. 1t is not to the credit of
these gentlemen that they have placed
themselves in position to have their
acts called in question. That they
should have invited public attention
to acts of exorbitant prices of coal
two years ago and again in their last
annual report and sought to hold the
transportation companies responsible,
when an investigation would have
placed the responsibility somewhere
else, is something which the Com
missioners cannot justify. Nor can
they justify the complaints embodied
in their annual report, which If
hearing had been given would have
demonstrated the fact that no cause
for such complaints existed. The
Commission we are constrained to say
has hasnot accomplished q eat deal
of good for the State and we shall be
surprised if the legislature increases
its power; ON the other hand we shall
not be surprised TO learn of the repeal
of the law, and the transfer of the
duties of the Commission to the Sink
ing Fund Commissioners. On the
score of economy this would seem to
be the true policy. We do not be-
lieve that the Commission is worth
10 the people of the State the $1,000
per annum, which 1t costs to main
tain it.

IT'S Passage Improbable.

Elsewhere in this issue appears the
new Tariff Bill as it is drawn up and
submitted by the Chairman of the
Ways and Means Committee to the
full committee, with synopsis of the
articles which may be imported free
of duty, and placed upon the free
list. The outlook for the passage of
the bill is not so ilattering as TO
warrant one in saying that 1t is a
certainty. The reformers are well
satisfied with the measure and think
it will go through whooping, while
others think it is good, weak bill,
drawn in the right direction and
would be much better than either of
the measures previously introduced,
if passed, and if it had the same
Democratic majority that Mr.. Morri-
sons bill had it would easily pass
the House, but others set it down as
already dead, it being further under
stood that there are probably thirty
or more Democrats who will vote
against it as it now stands.
The bill is compromise between
the numerous tariff bills already
drawn but which met with defeat,
and places large number of articles
on the free list, and reduces the tariff
on comparatively few. 1t seems to
have been the object of the men who
framed it to take the tariff off of raw
materials and keep it on manufac-
tured articles. The articles in which
Kentucky is most interested, coal and
iron ore, remain untouched. The
duty on pig iron, steel railway bars,
slabs or bars of steel, iron or steel L
rails, ETC., is proposed to be greatly
reduced, and the wool, sugar, tin
plate, iron, pottery, glass, salt and
lumber men from the various Sec
tions where each particular article is
produced are all opposed to its pass
age, declaring that unless their man
ufacturing interests are protected
that the manufactures will be forced
to close. 1t is estimated that if the
bill in its present shape should pass
that it would cut off $50, 100000 from
the custom duties. The free-traders
though much pleased at the idea ofitS
are in the minority and
cannot entertain hope of passing it.
Should the bill pass the House, its
defeat in the Senate is almost certain.

shall have and hold the right to en-
force collection of said amount so ad-

be a great protection TO such officers,

The question as TO why the news
papers publish more murders and
sensations than they do business
items is one easily answered. 1t is
for the same reason that the book
stores keep more novels than they do
volumes of sermons. 1t is because
the people want them. When the
public begins to grab for paper be-
cause it has a piece of business news,
and to throw it aside in disgust when
it only contains sensational murders
and salacious scandals, then the news
papers will stop paying attention to
the latter and devote its columns 10
the former. The newspaper business
is like any other; its goods must be
made marketable or there is no pros
perity.-Post.
