THE SENATORIAL RACE.
Blackburn, Knott, Mckenzie and
McCreary in Training.

Blackburn, Knott, MCKENZIE ana
McCreary in Training.
Louisville Critic.
Kentucky is ON the eve Of what
promises TO be one of the most re-
markable senatorial contests in its
history. A successor TO the Hon.
Joseph G. S. Blackburn will be
chosen at the coming session of the
Legislature. Mr., Blackburn has
been conducting. his canvass for
months, and not only Is he ralIying
his forces by letter, but is using all
his persuasive powers to rally his
strength. Blackburn knows the val
ue of handshake and q pleasant
word, and as an electioneer he has
few equals in the State. His mar
velous memory, his hearty manner,
his fluent tongue commend him to
the average voter and make easy for
him a road that others would find
rather toilsome. His career In the
Senate has not been a marked sue
cess. 1t was expected of him that
he would awake tho echoes In that
conservative chamber by series of
speeches outside of the ordinary, but
four years of his term have gone by
and nothing remains in. the public
mind but the memory of his dis
graceful scene with Senator Chan
Ter. His unnecessary controversy
with Rucker, of Colorado, did not
increase the respect of his home peo-
pie or that of the country at large.
II was q needless contest between
two loud-mouthed politicians that
worried the public and offended
every canon Of good taste.
Still Mr.. Blackburn's race will not
be made upon any such issue. They
are but incidents In his remarkable
career, and unfortunately there are
Kentuckians who regard both of
these performances as something ad-
mirable in their way. When the
conflict warns at Frankfort all such
trivial matters will be forgotten, and
the legislator whose vote will be i'm
portuned will only know him as
'clever Joe Blackburn" can squeeze
q hand more heartily, and slap q
back more sincerely than any manofh
his size aud standing In the State
He will go into the contest In much
better trim thanwhen he broke into
Senator Williams combination and
practically robbed him OF his life's
ambition. That was an unequaI con-
flict, and II is doubtful ifthere Ia any
other man in Kentucky who would
have succeeded under all the diff
culties as Blackburn did. The scandal
Of that race is till stencil in the nos
trils of the people Of the State, and
its repetition at Frankfort next win
ter will be sufficient TO disguest every
honest man.
Blackburn has the advantage Of
being in Office, aud he has, all along
been strengthening his political lines
by favors from Washington. The
character Of opposition that will meet
him In his next battle will be more

4 Wasteful Policy.

The policy Of congress with respect 70
river aud harbor appropriations is a mis-
taken one. 1t is also very costly one.
INSTEAD Of appropriating q sum sufficient TO
insure the speedy improvement Of havbor
al the least possible cost, the eppropria-
tons as a general thing are only sufficient
to permit a little work to be done each
year. One appropriation is exhausted long
before another is made, AID during the time
that no work is being done the improve
ment. IN its unfinished condition, is dam
aged to the extent of a very considerable
percentage of the original cost of it.
There is another thing that is well worth
careful consideration, and that is, that wor
is done much cheaper where there are very
large contracts than where there are small
ones. An improvement that would cost
81, 100000 under the present system of
making appropriations could be made for
half, or three-quarters, of that sum prOba-
bly,, if the money were all available at the
same time.
An instance Of the folly of the cheese
pairing policy in making river and harbor
appropriations is that Of the Potomac fats
Improvement al " ~ - 0Oi4-
gress began to improve the fats several
years ago in a half-hearted sort of way.
The work on them ought TO have been COM
pleted long ago. The appropriations, how
ever, admitted OF only so much work each
year, and after the first year it took good
portion of each appropriation to repair the
damage the improvement had suffered
after the previous appropriation had been
exhausted
There has been no work done on the fats
for year or so for the want of an appro-
priation, and the flood of last week put the
fats back at about where they were before
any work at all was done upon them. The
loss which the government has suffered is
not much less than 81, 100000. II an ample
appropriation had been made in the begin
ming. the improvement would now be COM
pleted and it would have suffered no dam
age from the food worth mentioning.

MIR. Whackster's Painful Experience
From the Chicago Tribune

The new moon was making feeble and inef-
fectual attempt to pierce the dense cloud that
bilious spring time. May-smiling May-had
taken another fit of the sulks. Old winter was
in her lap again, and she was weeping, scol1-
ing, tearing her hair, and bowling like a lonely
cat sitting on a back yard fence aud endeavor-
ing to give the neighbors some idea of the emo
tionS that rack the soul in the first keen agony
of disappointed love. The winds moaned dis
mally, the rain was still breaking the record in
its six days blow -asyou please falling match
and the country's visible supply of contented
men consisted solely of umbrella dealers and
American limitations of Englishmen walking
serenely about with their trousers rolled up.
Three separate and distinct times had Glycer-
inc McCurdy looked at the clock. Three times
had she executed yawn so frank, so ample, SO
unrestricted in its architectural plan and front
elevation that it could not have en- diStin-
guished from the involuntary Delsartean gest-
ure with which the patient reader of a London
daily paper turns to the editorial page. Three
times had she remarked that the storm outside
seemed TO be Subsiding, but would probably
break out again worse than ever and continue
all night.
But Elongatus Winchester still fingered
Elongatus knew it was late, but he had some
thing TO say and he meant TO say it if he had to
stay till he heard the sound of the early coffee.
mill in the distant kitchen. All he was waiting
for was an encouraging opportunity. 1t seemed
to have come at last.
Miss McCurdy did you hear that dull. onli-
nous soundfn he asked in a voice that had a
sharp, ominous tremor.
Yes" she replied. 1t was peal of thunder,
was it notg'
at sounded to me like the bursting of can
non-perhaps a cannon fired prematurely
Glycerine! ~ he exclaimed fervently IF should
tell you what have been longing TO say to you
for months and months-if | should give utter
ance to the feeling that is in my heart, would

McCurdy, thrusting his head into the room
There wouldn't have been anything premature
about it if you had been fired out of here three
hours ago. Look at that clock, you stork-
legged, sorrei-topped giraffe. You clothing
store dummy! Git!n
And Elongatus Winchester got. While the
wind sobbed, and the clouds wept. and all nature
lifted up her voice and grumbled, Elongatus
silently took his hat and went forth into the
grewsome darkness of the night.

co,ouitt and His Enemies.

An Atlanta special to the New York Sun
intimates pretty strongly that there IS a
political alliance between Col Buck and
Senator Colquitt TO control the federal pat
ronage Of Georg ia. II is alleged that Sena-
tor ColGuitt has two objects in view in this
alliance. One is TO get a share Of the politi-
cal power and influence which Senator
Brown has. and the other is to elect Gov.
Gordon to the Senate as Senator Browns
successor. Col. Bucks purpose in forming
the alliance is SAID TO be TO secure assistance
in controlling the appointments TO federal
Offices in Georgia.
1t has been stated frequently that Sena-
tor COiquitt was taking a rather active
interest in Georgia appointments. but thus
far there has been no evidenc to support
the statement. If the statement has any
foundation. be is working so quietly and
skillfully as to escape detection. There is
no doubt that he isa very shrewd politician,
and that he is not wholly absorbed in tenn
perance and Sunday school work, but the
assertion that lie is trying to influence the
President with respect to appointments in
Georgia must be accepted with a great
many grains of allowance.
The Atlanta dispatch also insinuates that
the senator's influence is being used against
the appointment Of either Gen. Longstreet
or Gen. McLaws to an Office. This certainly
must be unjust to the senator. II is safe to
say that could be aid either Of those gentle
men in any way they desire he would
gladly do so.
The tact is Senator Colquitt has

active. However, he sesm5 to be fully

If Money Grew on Bushes.


The other day a lady found herself in group
of femininity where the conversation drifted
into the subject of wealth and as to what con-
stituted luxury. Each woman present was
asked to name her hearts desire if money grew
on bushes and women were turned loose in the
field Tae ladies, by the way, were of moderate
means, or their notions of luxury would have no
weight. They were all educated and well bred,
or their fancies would not be worth repeating.
Now man would naturally say that every
woman braced herself up and shouted in
chorus: Diamonds, laces, silks and horses and
carriages. Well their verdict was nothing of
the sort.
The preponderance of desire set in the direc-
ton of maid. A trim, tidy, deft, cat-footed
maid. who would keep all the paraphernalia of
woman in exquisite order, who neglected moth
ing from the buttons on her boots to the per-
fume on the mouchoir, who superintended the
bath, who understood the proper use of all
dainty toilette appliances, and who, lastly,
could relieve a woman of the never-ending
WEAKNESS of combing her own hair.
That group of women spoke for all other
women.

Mrs Harrison has probably shocked the
ultra fashionable society of Washington
several shines lately She insists upon do
ing some. things which are sensible, but
which are not considered good form by the
people whose lives are regulated by set of
rules made by nobody knows whom. The
other day, she is reported to have walked
into the white house kitchen and washed
several dishes, to show the servants how
she wanted that kind of work DONE 1t is
said that Mrs. Cleveland was pretty well
acquainted with the white house kitchen.
and that she used to 60 there sometimes
and cook small cakes, which she would
afterward put at her husbands plate. Moth
ing was said about them at the table. but
Mr.. Cleveland understood very well where
they came from and who made them, and
he not only ate them, but it is stated that
be did so with evident enjoyment aud with
out serious results. Mrs. Harrison and Mrs
Cleveland, as mistresses of the white house,
reflect credit upon American womanhood.
It's pity that the extremely fashionable
women don't copy after them more.
