Mr., Blaine in his speech at Goshen,
Ind, last week got of another of those
big, unwarranted statements, which
are sometimes called miscellaneous,
butln plain English was nothing
more nor less than a lie. lie said
that many of the trusts ("private af-
fairs" were under the control OF
Democrats, and went on to name five
ofthese trustsiunder Democratic, con-
troll: The sugar trust, the salt trust,
the whisky trust, the standard oil
trust, and the cotton seed oil trust.
Let's sec how far Mr.. Blaine is from
being right. The Rockefleller's, al
the head of the standard oil trust, are
working actively for the success of
the Republican ticket in New York ;
the Democratic Attorney General is
prosecuting the sugar trust in New
York the whisky trust is working
for Harrison; Wellington r. Burt,
the head of the salt trust, is straight
out opposed TO the Mills bill. Burt
is the Democratic candidate for Gov.
ernor of Michigan, but his opposition
TO the Mills bill came near defeating
him for the nomination. Mr.. Blaine

A REAL BEAUTY
10 the Cleveland and Thurman
Pole Which Goes Up
To.Morrow.

The big Democratic Notification
which has been SET 10 take place TO-
morrow, ought TO bring out the people
from all sections of the county, and
no doubt it will. The pole that has
been made by Forbes & Bro. is com
pleted and will be ready for raising
at the time appointed. 1t is different
from any other pole that las ever been
raised here. 1t is made for the most
part out Of two-inch poplar lumber,
and is much lighter than the solid
wood. Mr.. viii Long, who is super
intending its make, says that he is
going to paint it red, white and blue.
He has no doubt of the pole being
stout enough to withstand any strain
put upon it, as it is perfectly braccd
on the inside,

A Vigilance Committee Needed

The people in the neighborhood of
the Chalybeate Springs are talking
of organizing vigilance committee
to protect their property from the
depredations of two or three men,
who occasionally 90 forth under COW
err of night TO iniure some one who,
they imagine, has done them some
wrong. Last Saturday night was a
notable one in the neighborhood of
the spring. Some one went into
William Davis orchard and stole
fifteen or sixteen bushels of apples,
Squire Tinsley's orchard was visited
and five of his apple trees "belted,"
which will completely ruin them,
and Halls school house was burned
by an incendiary. All this was done
IN one night in the same neighbor-
hood, and it is no wonder the people
are getting ready to visit punishment
upon the cowardly scoundrels.

A big colony is being organized fol
the purpose Of occupying Oklahoma
in the Indian Territory. Already
the forces are beginning to gather,
and as soon as arrangements can be
made for the colony they will enter
the Territory. The boom has been
agiiated privately, but from now on
will become public in its character.
The idea is to increase the number
TO about 5000 and make stand and
stay until force is used by the United
States. Able attorneys will be re-
tanned, and the legal fight carried to
the highest courts.

ALL ABOARD!
THE QUESTION OF AIDING THE
NEW RAILROAD TO BE
VOTED ON NOV. 10TH.
4 Synopsis Of the Proposition.

The proposition submitted by Mr.
B. A, Nealc, as President of the Cairo
& Cumberland Gap Railroad, last
Monday was called up for action by
the County Court last Wednesday
morning. The investigation commit
tee made their reports at IL o'clock.
The majority report was first made
and the minority report followed,
Squire Warfeld giving his ideas for
being opposed to submitting to the
people whether or not they would
vote the 100000 asked by the COM
pany to build the road through Chris
tian county. Squire Davie addressed
the court at some length on behalf of
the railroad, at the conclusion of
which the court adjourned until after
dinner At one o'clock the vote was
put to the court and resulted in tie
-l6 TO l6. Judge Winfree, of course,
had the deciding vote, which he very
promptly cast in favor Of the submits
sion of the question 10 the people.
There was a gentle ripple of applause
all over the court room when the
question was decided. When the
crowd around the door outside heard
how tie vote had resulted loud cheers
were given, and the news quickly
spread over the city.
The day fixed for holding the cleo
ton is Saturday, November 10Th.
The question is now fairly before the
people, and great deal of work is TO
be done between now and the day of
election. The friends of the road are
very sanguine, and are ready TO 90 to
work. In the event the subsidy is
voted and the railroad company fails
TO perform its undertaking, the bond
which Mr. Neale proposes TO give
will save the county the expense OF
holding the election. Under the prop
osition to be submitted to the people
the railroad company does not ask
the county to pay one cent until the
road bed is constructed from Cairo to
IIopkinsville aud the track laid
thereon. Then the county is to issue
bonds to the amount of Sl0OOO0!I
When the company completes its
road TO the eastern boundary of the
then the additional 100000
bonds are TO be issued. The compa-
ny is to begin work on the road
within one hundred and TWEEN
~ days after the amount is voted.
The construction company which is
10 build the road have thousand
hands and five hundred teams thai
they can put at work on the road i'm
and do not want the time
given above to commence operations
The company says it will have the
cars running from Cairo to Hopkins
vile some time early in the coming
year. The bonds are 10 run for thir- |
ty years, bearing five per cent. inter-
est, but may be redeemed at any time
after five years, at the option of the
county. The above embraces the
chief points in the proposition. Any
body can understand the proposition
and no one need vote unadvisedly

Intelligence comes from Wabash,
Ind, to the effect that the tariff
speeches of the Democratic orators
have drawn many Republicans to
their meetings, and the result has
been so unfavorable TO Republican
prospects that no amount of free trade
clamor would overcome it. Seeing
this, the Republican managers have
resorted TO new tactics, which COM
prehends the employment of commit
tees whose sole duties are to discour-
age members of their party from at.
tending Democratic meetings where
tariff revision is likely to be touched
upon. These committees are work
ing actively in every election precinct
in this county, and there is a notice
able falling of in The Republican al
tendance at Democratic meetings
Many, however, refuse to submit Il,
the dictation Of the campaign mana
gers, and il is likely that the party
will be damaged as much by its aut-
ocratic measures as it did before II
adopted them.
