SCARED.

MT. Henry Watterson of the Louisville Courier Journal seems to be very much alarmed over the political situation in Ken- lucky. He declares that every attempt to arouse the various local committees through- out the State to united action has failed. Calls for meetings of the State Central oom- mittee seldom bring together quorum save by proxies. Communications from the chair man of the State central committee, ad- dressed to the executive committee, rarely provoke response. The effect is general demoralization and widespread apprehension of defeat. MT. Watterson continues: It is useless longer to conceal the situation. The Courier-Journal appeals from the commit tees to the people themselves, and calls upon party their best efforts during the next ter days. It is not too late to make certain the election of Captain Sharp by 25, ,000 majority, but If this work is to be accomplished il must be done by the ''Boys in the Trenches The Courier Journal is no alarmist. It does not seek to obtain votes by false pretenses We give to the people the information that comes to us through official channels, and we state in all seriousness that the party ascend ency is in peril, and that If the victory ii won at all it must be won by Democratic voters who will not wait upon leaders or or ganizers, but who, each for himself, will gt to the polls and cast one vote for the Demo cratic nominee.
 This is indeed sad state of affairs. 1 the Democrats shouldn't happen to carr! Kentucky all would indeed be lost.

petus that was given this English-or Chi nese, as some claim-brand of reform, by the death of Garfield has been expended. A decided reaction toward old-fashioned poli- tics is in progress. Literary examinations to determine the fitness of applicants for office without regard to political affiliations are coming to be regarded more and more as ua- American and in conflict with the American idea of party government and party respon- sibility. The only kind of civil service re- form that, in our opinion, Is of permanent character, is that which exaets practical test of character and competency from ad- hsrents of the party that the people have voted into power.
 "Boss" Shepherd, who made Washington city in outward appearance, is appreciated where he now is. E. J. Jaurez, one of Shep- herds lieutenants at Batipolas, Mexico, is in this country. He says: The man whom you call Boss Shepherd is occupying very much the same position down in Chihuahua, but his bossism is very acceptable to the people of Batipolas. When the governor came to our town to take charge of the mines the place had population of less than five huns dred, and sorry lot they were. Now we have population of over six thousand hardy, prosperous citizens. The company managed by the governor is now operating over sixty mines. So far as Boss Shepherd is concerned you can say that he is all right and will be back in few years with several millions in his pockets.

SENATOR m0RGAN,s MEAN TRICK.

He Cures Human Target That
 Loved to Gibe.
 Colonel John s. Prince has discovered new occupation for the colored man and brother who congregates So numerously in the vicinity of the Coliseum when race is in progress, says the Omaha Herald. Ever any color, Colonel Prince bethoughs him of scheme by which he could not only ameh. crate the pitiful yearaing of the impecuni- ous negro to witness the speed contest, but could as the same time provide his patrons with cheap, innocent and healthfu1 recrea- tion. He procured large canvas screen, painted in the center thereof gigantic sun flower, and in the heart of the flower cut a hole large enough to admit a seven and one half head. Then he purchased dozen base | balls of medium hardness, and was ready to put his humanitarian principles into prac- ! tice.
 | When the colored man accosts Colonel Prince with request for free admission to the show he is taken by the arm and escort ed into the building. The canvas soreen IS showed to him, and he is informed that If he ! will stick his head through the hole and keer | it there until the twelve base balls, fired at | fifty feet range, are aimed at it ha Can re- l main in the building until the lights are ex'

THE RAILROAD PROBLEM

THE HA1LAOAD FHOHAEMs
 Some of those who are attempting to solve the railroad problem favor the formation of @ trust. So far 1t has been found that there were serious legal and practical objections to the plans proposed. But now comes the edi- tion of the Railway and Corporation Law Journal with the outlines of trust which he thinks will stand. His plan Is that the ma- jority of stock in each road be transferred on the books of the company to two chosen men, who will at once endorse the certificates in blank and deposit them with the secretary of the trust. Another roads stock will be transferred to the names of two other trus- tees, and so on for all the roads in the group. These trustees will together form board of directors for the combined railroads and can easily dictate the policy, leaving each road free, as before, to act iu fits corporate capacity. These trustees are to form an un- incorporated body, issuing trust certificates for the stock iu the hands of the secretary.
 This looks feasible, and the harassed stock holders in the western railroads would be glad to see this, or any other promising plan, tried. They have suffered long from dis trust, and they are ready to try trust, or anything else that promises relief. Perhaps the situation will be somewhat changed by the earnings of the roads this fall and winter. If it is not there will have to be trust or some other arrangement.

How a Little CompalsIon Forced she
 Pinin' at the Kissing Bee.
 Back in the North Carolina mountains the student of customs may still find material for research, says the Washington Post. The most unique are the kissing games, which still cling to the soil. A lot of big-limbsd, powerful young men and apple checked, buxom girls gather and select one of their number as master of ceremonies. He takes his station in the center of the room, while the rest pair of and parade around him. Suddenly one young woman will throw up her hands and say:
 "I am a-pinin'."-
 The master of ceremonies takes it up and the following dialogue and interlocution takes place:
 pinin'. What Is Miss Arabella Jane Apthorp a-pinin' fur4"
 ''I'm a-pinin' fur sweet kiss" 'Miss Arabella Jane Apthorp says she's a. pinin' fur sweet kiss. Who is Miss Ara bella Jane Apthorp a-pinin' fur sweet kiss frum"
 'I'm a-pinfn' fur very sweet kiss from MT. Hugh Waddle:"- (Blushes, convulsive giggles end confusion on the part of Miss
  sion.) MT. Hugh Waddle walks up manful- ly and relieves the fair Arabella's "pinin' !" by smack which sounds like three.year- old steer drawing his hoof out of the mud. Then young man will be taken with a sudden and unecoountabIe "pinin'," which, after the usual exchange of questions and volunteered information, reveals the name of the maiden who causes the 'tgnawin'" and "pinin'." She coyly retreats out doors, only to be chased, overtaken, captured and forci- ply compelled to relieve her captor's distress.
 At one of these entertainments, which it was the narrator's fortune to attend, there was remarkably beautiful young woman who had been married about month. Her husband was present, huge, beetle-browed, black-eyed young mountaineer, with fist like ham. The boys fought shy of the bride for fear of mourning the anger of her nulking spouse. fhe game went on for some time, when symptoms of irritation de- veloped in the giant. Striding to the middle of the room, he said:
 "Ny wife ez booty, n ez nice n sweet ez any gyurl hyar. You uns has known her all her life. This game hez been a-goin' on half an hour an nobody has pined fur her oncst. Eff some one doesn't pine fur her booty soon thar will be trouble.''
 She was the belle of the ball after that. Eyerybody Dined for her.
