Tho Lotteries Must 10.

Wien the grand jury met in the
Nashville, Tenn, circuit court last
week, Judge Ridley delivered the
usual charge. In addition to his re-
gular charge he touched upon tho lot
{ ~ matter. lie said, that the Amer
lean citizen was born gambler. Ill,
begins his gambling from the time he
can shoot marble or throw a bal
against the wall. lie said that OF
late lotteries had become very popular
Not only do newspapers offer with
yearly subscriptions prizes of uncer-
tain value, but church fairs were
having lotteries frequently. All OF
these schemes were nothing more
than gambling, and the parties en-
gagged in them were liable 10 indict-
ment. Everything where commodi-
ties are offered for sale with the
promise ofsome gift of uncertain val
ne, is gambling. All ofthcse schemes
are evasions of the gambling laws,
and are really worse than regular
games of poker. They are more de-
moralizing, and should be stopped.
lie urged the jury to look into all
these lottery schemes and break them
up by indicting those engaged in
them. This has direct reference to
the Americans lottery schemes of
Nashville which has been in full blast
for several months, and which has
been initiated by the Banner of that
city. Papers will now have to depend
on their merits for their circulation.

THE POLITICAL OUTLOOK.

The people of Christian County
will be called on to fill two offices at
the August election, Common Pleas
Judge and Sheriff. Both Of these
places require men of capacity, good
judgement, personal dignity and char
acter. Neither Office is in any sense
of the word position of political
significance. If the people ever shall
vote for personal worth and integrity
in candidates, they should so vote
when they come to select the men
who are to be our Common Pleas
Judge and our Sheriff.
We are gratified to state in this
connection that both Judge McPher'
son and Nose West are enthusiastical
lily endorsed by our leading citizens
irrespective of party lines. Mr.. Yves
enters the canvass for Sheriff will
not only the unanimous support o
his party, but with large numbe
of influential Republicans zealousl.
advocating his claims. He is know
, throughout the county as an ener
getic, upright, sober business man
; as one who possesses every qualifica
ton for the office. lie came befor
] the people only after being earnestly
solicited to make the race by hos
of Democrats and Republicans, ant
: having secured the nomination, he /
f In now to win. lie starts into tn
a canvass endorsed by a call from tn
!. people who want good and competer
v officials, and his high character as
!. man and a citizen, is an unquestion
- able guarantee of his fitness for th
a position. He is not a creature ofrin
a rule, and every man can know thu
in voting for West he is voting fC
one who will prove acceptable to ii
y entire people of this county irrespe,
@ tive ofpolitics.
re We do most sincerely trust th'
l. Mr.. West may be accorded victoriol
lie support in the coming contest. L
Is is an honorable, high-minded, capab
ID gentleman, and will make one of Il
W best officers that ever served in Chri

CHICAGO AND GULF EXPLANATION.
South KENTUcKIAN:
The President of our Chicago Rail-
road was necessarily called away
from his office for few days and
could not get our communication in
time, as we are informed by the Sec
rotary Of the Company, to make a
statement for publication in your pa
per this week.
l wish you to state that we are in
the ring, and in the near future will
make the citizens of Union, Webster,
Hopkins and Christian counties, a
definite proposition to build them
the Kentucky division of what is
known as the Chicago Il Gulf system
of Railroads, which will furnish the
needed competition for our business
community.
We have lately obtained from our
Legislature all the authority essen
tial, and in very short time will be
able TO give the public in the coun-
ties above mentioned an opportunity
to become interested in the building
and operation of one of the grandest
North and South Railroads which
will connect the lakes and gulf on the
shortest practical line that can be
built, and which will be pledged Il
give our portion of this state all thu
facilities for traffic which will allow
the use of enterprise and capital il
developing our many and varied nat
ural resources, in coal, iron, lumber
and many other things. Yes, yol
may state that the syndicate is nov
, successfully, as we are informed
completing their arrangements t
come to us; that Hopkinsville beini
=, the central point between the lake
and gulf, will be the base of opera
tons at least for this state. We ar
. assured that as soon as their arrange
ments are completed they will com
prepared for active work, and tina
when they come it will be to stay. Al
that is needed for the people to do !
to exercise patience; for 1t takes
great deal of time to secure the larg
amount of money needed to start an
complete such a great enterpris,
Therefore we hope the people in dis
cussing other meritorious enterprise
which are now before them, will NO
r 'ose sight of the one which we be
, lieve to be most essential.
A. V. TONNES.

A WORD ABOUT RAILROADS.

1t seems TO be generally admitted
that Hopkinsville needs another rail-
road. The question is and has been
for several years, which one? We
desire to say that we are duly appre-
ciative of the immense advantages to
DO derived from another trunk line,
giving us competitive rates and all
that. We are aware of the fact that
several gentlemen have been trying
to work this kind of scheme and
they have been duly applauded for
their labors. But ii does seem TO us
that by this time the people should
be permitted to consider some dell
mite proposition looking towards the
attainme nt of our anticipations.
Al this juncture the L. Il N. comes
in with an offer. We do not say, we
have never said, that it is the best
thing that can be done for our city,
but it is the only real proposition be-
fore us. Unless these other gentle
men can specify what they intend to
do, then, when the l.. 81 N. offer
comes up, let us vote for or against
it on its merits and not lug into the
contest the visions which all of us at
times have entertained. There must
come deciding point to the present
condition of things. The position oil
the KENTUcKIAN is, that unless bet
ter offer Is made, let us join i'll
and build the Cadiz extension. We
are not opposed to anyother enter
prise but we do not wish any other
scheme, unless it is definite propo-
sition and not an airy nothing, tol
come in and defeat the l.. s. N. offer
neither will we advise that the Cadiz
branch after it is built shall be
standing argument against the pro-
lection of other lines.
The writer has occupied this posi-
ton before and it is eminenly prop
er and Just. We would not exclude
any plan from the consideration and
endorsement of our people. If any
gentleman is fettered by negotiations
which require secrecy, he should be
accorded reasonable patience, but not
such patience as might defeat anoth-
or offer and that, too, when his pro-
ect is mere probability. We are
for all of the lines, but we are first
'or the one that gets here first.
Semi-weekly south Kentuckian. [volume] (Hopkinsville, Ky.) 1883-1889, 1888-05-18

One thing, it seems to ua, should
be guarded in negotiating with the
L. & N. about our Cadiz extension
We should not only get a guarantee
of equitable rates over the 1. A. & T.
and our own extension, but we
should obtain a satisfactory assur-
ance that the outgoing rates would
be put at the same scale as for Clarks.
villc. For instance, high outgoing
tariff is so much off of the purchase
price of grain or tobacco, and the
market that has the cheapest rates
can thus pay the highest prices fol-
farm products. 1.-THE L. Il N. will
amend its offer so as to give us the
same rates as Clarksville all the way
round, then it will prove much more
acceptable to our people.

Rev. T.. L. Powell, who is holding
a meeting in this city, is pastor of an
influential church in Louisville. His
church there is the first that has taxi
en- the question in hand as TO wheth-
err or not liquor dealer should be a
church member. Sunday three
names were dropped from the list of
members, and the pastor made the
following explanation fthe church's
action: "The session in this connec-
ton desires to make it known that
they do not believe in the sale or use
of intoxicants. They moreover do
not think that man can consistently
with the teachings of the Bible and
Of Christianity, participate in the
liquor traffic. Two ofthe gentlemen
dismissed have responded in cards
that are rather salty.
