Special Agent Curtis Searches Travellers
baggage for Opium.
@. D. Brodbeck, who arrived in the city Z
couple Of days ago, has had some trouble
with his trunk. He is business man Of
Wyoming, and some time ago concluded
that he would take trip toward the mild
Pacific sea. He reached the coast without
meeting with any incidents to disturb his
journey and was having good time. He
went over into British Columbia, taking
his trunk with him. While in Vancouver
he roamed around that city and bought
many Indian and Chinese curios, which he
slowed away in his trunk. After having all
the sightseeing he desired, Mr.. Brodbeck
came on this side Of the line and proceeded
TO view the country about the SQUAD at his
leisure. While he was thus engaged in en-
joying himself he was unaware that he had
become the object Of attention Of Uncle
Sans treasury officials. They had their
eyes on him and his trunk and kept track
OF him and his piece Of baggage while So
arrest hmm and seize his trunk il a mys-
terry, but they let him pursue his way until
he got to Helena. On tuesday, Col. Curtis,
who u also treasury agent, received tele-
gram from special agent of the treasury
department named Mulkey, who is sta
ed Col. Curtis to detain the trunk and
search it. Yesterday afternoon he saw it at
the Northern Pacific depot and readily
identified it BY the number on the baggage
check, which correspondent with the nam
Der given by Special Agent Mulkey IN his
telegram to Col. Curtis. Mr.. Brodbeck was
with Curtis and cheerfully unlocked the
trunk, relieving the colonel Of the necessitv
OF smashing the lock. All the little curious
and other msmentoes of his trip to the
coast were tumbled out and the trunk thor
oughly searched.
Special Agent Mulkey had made q mis-
take. He was after big game and thought
he had struck q hot trail when he tele-
graphed Col. Curtis to detain the myster-
ious trunk and search it. Mr.. Brodbeck
had no fault to ind with the action of Col.
Curtis, to whom he explained where he and
his trunk had been. The special agents over
on the coast had seen Mr.. Brodbeck enter
ing chinese stores and making purchases.
He was quiet in his ways and did not seem
to form any acquaintance, and altogether
the agents made up their minds that he was
q mysterious character. MIR. Brodbeck told
Mr.. Curtis that he could not understand
Why it was that the astute government Of
ficials over in the web-foot country did not
seize the trunk while it was over
there. He says that they had every oppor-
tunity to arrest him and do whatever they
pleased with his baggage. But they did
not do anything of the kind. The waited
until no shipped his trunk ahead Of him to
Helena and then continued their watch of
him until he took Northern Pacific train
and followed after his baggage.
Col. Curtis instructions from Special
Agent Mulkey were to search the trunk for
opium, but of course found none.

Consequently, to get justice, he must
appeal to the law-making power to
have a law passed to force them to do
what is simply justice and no more
And because he does SO he is de-
nounced as unjust and unreasonable.
And the very men who have grown
fat feeding off his sweat now threaten
to go out of business and leave him
without market in his own State on
which to sell his produce. What is
the farmer good for if he is not going
to ask his legislator, whom he elected
by his vote, to pass laws that will pro-
tect him against eXorbitant charges
nom those who are disposed to extort
from himl In the opinion of some he
is only fit to work, pay taxes and vote
for some other class to represent him
in Office, and should he be so FORUM
ite as to make little money have it
AIKEN from him by eShorbitant charge
u what he sells as well as what he
Buys, and to make others rich and
himself poor. FARMER.

Candidates for the Office of county
superintendent of schools are required
by law to stand an examination and
obtain first-class certificate before
they can qualify, if elected. To dc
this they must score an average of .85
on all subjects taught in the common
schools. 1t may be of interest to can
didates to know that the time for be-
ing examined before the county board
of Examiners has been changed from
"the last Saturday in June" to "the
first Saturday in May" The State
Board will hold examinations at
Frankfort on April 9th, May 9TH and
June 18th. Those preferring to be
examined by the State Board have
these opportunities. All candidates
must be examined, including those
now holding certificates and in office.

Judge M. 7. Durham and An

Judge NJ. j. Durham and Auditor
L. c. Norman are both announced
candidates for Auditor in 1891. 1t is
also quite probable that Mr.. Chas. S.
Green will be candidate for the same
position. Mr.. Green is a native of
this county, but now resides in Louis
vile. He was for many years an as
sistant in the Auditors office and ha,
the advantage of practical experience
in running the Office. In this and
adjoining counties Mr.. Green would
prove very strong candidate, as he
is widely connected with influential
people throughout this section.

1t has perhaps not occurred TO the
candidates who are after county Off
ces this year that the probabilities are
that their terms, il elected, may not
be more than one or two years. The
new constitution will be framed next
fall and voted upon in August, 1891.
If it is adopted, as it will be, elections
will probably be held for every Office
State and county a few months later.
1t may be that Kentucky will hold
her State elections, like most other
States, in November, under the new
constitution, and in this case county
officers elected this year would have
to stand again in fourteen months.
Even with August elections, they
would have to run again in 1892,
without some special provision in the
new constitution allowing them to
serve four years,

that Mr.. A. Y. Ford may be promoted
to the position as Washington cores
pondent of the Louisville Times to
succeed Mr.. Kincaid, who is no doubt
so badly broken up over the Taulbee
matter as to be unable to longer fill the
position. The Times could not make
a better selection for this position than
Mr.. Ford. His Frankfort correspon-
dence has shown him to be admirably
fitted for such work, and in the larger
field of the National Capital, the
Inquirer opines that he would not
be long in making his mark"

The KESTuoGlAs gives space to-day
to an argument in favor of the Thorn,
bill by very intelligent farmer of the
southern part of the county. Om
correspondent presents in very
plausible manner the main arguments
used by Mr.. Thorne himself in adyo-
eating the bill. Like Mr.. Thorne, he
goes upon the hypothesis that the
State has right to interfere with the
private business of one branch of
trade, leaving all othor branches, in
GLIDING that of agriculture, to be reg
ulated by the laws of commerce and
competition. He commits an error in
the first place by proposing to hold
the seller responsible for the decline
in the price of tobacco, which is due
entirely to the grower, who has over
stocked the markets of the world by
heavy crops year after year. The farm
err must ON this account sell his PIC:
duce at low price, il is true, but this
does not cheaper rents, labor or the
expenses of operating a warehouse.
That the Kentucky warehousemen do
not extort from the planter is evil
denced by tie fact that the prices for
selling tobacco in Kentucky are no
higher than in States adjoining. The
wareheusemsn have not made fortunes
III the business, but nearly all of ours
are worth no more than when they be-
gan business, They too have had |
trouble sometimes to make "buckle |
and tongue meet" The argument
that the farmers will scramble over
each other in their haste to get to the
market where they can sell for dol |
lar or two cheaper, is fallac.ous one. |
1t must be remembered that the
Thorne bill also takes whack at the
buyer giving him only sixty days to |
make a three months voyage with his |
exports. This will of course drive the
buyer from Kentucky markets, the
warehousemen will by other provis-
ons of the bill be starved out and Tho
planter will have no market at all and
will be forced to ship his tobacco at
his own expense, or be left to Il e
mercy of the loose buyer. Even
should the local markets be kept up
by the influx of new business, the
lack of competition in buying would
keep prices low and ultimately turn
the tobacco to markets Were the laws
of trade were allowed to regulate.
The bill may be amended and emas-
culated in the Senate, but it will be
ruinous to the warehouse interests if
it becomes a law in its present shape.
