LOUISVILLE, KY, March 2l.-The Re-
puoliCans are claiming that Tate's deial-
cation will enable them to carry the state
at the next election. They say that Tate's
shortage is but proof of charges made
by Republicans on the stump that the
Democratic state government was rotten
to the core. 0le prominent member OF
the Republic party said: "When Tate
went Into Office he found In the treasury
Sl3e. 600. BE went out leaving 1t COM
parativelY empty, and carrying, possibly,
several hundred thousand with him.
Comment Is unnecessary. The effect on
the Democratic party may be Of q
wholesome character, but 1t will
certainly cause the Republicans to put
forth new energy Hnd gather in Demo
Gratis who believe in honest government,
and II Will certainly stop thst everlasting
cry Of Democratic purity SO long shouted
in The ears of 8 long suffering people by
Democratic stump speskers. You can
say for me thst believe Tate's shortage:
will be OF much benefit to the Republican,
party and that II we don't carry the state
for the Republican nominee this fall we
will make things hum at the next state
election"

Oelricl.s to pay his expenses at that
price. AT Hot Springs there have been
hundreds of tons sold. and in no case at
less than $500 per ton. 1t would hard

1t is no unusual thing to see small
volumes that you can hide almost in a
vest-pOcket go for from twenty dollars
to eighty dollars. Some books, if they
are rare enough, of the incunabula and
black letter kind, will bring hundreds
of dollars. The first edition of one of
LOngfellOw's books, The Coplas de
Manrique," thin and dingy though it
be, brings almost always near fifteen or
twenty times its original price. Ten
nyson's first thin volume, containing
also his brothers. poems, which must
have been published for not more than
dollar and half Il saw sold the other
day for only trifle short of forty dol
lars. First editions" are especially
stimulative to prices, as there are so
many collectors who pride themselves
On their possessions in that line. The
editions, however, must be of books
and authors themselves highly es-
teemed. Their value rests on the fact
that, having long been out of print,
they are positively unprocurable, ex-
cept by rare accident which the book
auction occasionally affords. An I'M
cut copy of first edition or book has
extra value for it bears its own evidence
that no bOokbinder has cut down the
margin.
II is surprising to see how diagy and
apparently worthless some of the rare
books are that bring high prices. If
you do not know the special charm that
is bestowed on the air to the initiated
by one of these suspicious volumes, of
course you cannot rate it highly. You
would give more for gilt-edge modern
book that has just preceded it, and
was sold for twenty-five cents. But
now the coveted prize is announced,
and, 10! it goes up to, perhaps, eighty
five or one hundred dollars. You must
be born book fancier to know wherein
the value lies. Paper and print and
description are pOwerless to cOmmuni-
cate the information Benton in
