PREFERRING CHARGES.
Eighteen or Twenty Af1ldavits
Against John Feland.
SOME OF THE CHARGES MADE.
(Oyensboro Messengcr.)

just at the time when everybody il
saying that John Feland is one of tn,
best internal revenue collectors tha
Owensboro has ever known, there
come rumors that charges of Official
misconduct are to be preferred against
him. That there can DO anything in
the charges there is no one who has
observed his methods and the model
condition Of his Office can believe for
l moment. Nevertheless, he is to be
'ubjected to this annoyance. 1t is
earned from a reliable source that
ne enemies of Mr.. Feland have
Deen collecting aflidavits against him
and his subordinates, and are prepar-
ing to prefer formal charges against
him. 1t is claimed that eighteen or
twenty atfidavits have been procured.
The substance of them is not exactly
known, but they are thought to b.
more or less inconsequential. One, it
is rumored, is that somebody was seen
in town with small quantity of new
whisky procured from one of the
distilleries, that had never been in q
bonded warehouse. Whether the
man was government officer, dis
tillery employee, or an outsider, is not
stated. This is probably specimen
of the charges against the collector.
Another charge is that the collector
was dilatory in advertising the WEIGH |
distillery property for sale under the
order of the department, and another
that he has assigned more than the
lawful number of storekeepers and
gaugers to duty at some of the distil- |
leries.
The public will be slow to believe
rejecting upon the official
character of John Feland, and the
fact that these charges emanate from
sources disappointed in the distribu-
ton of the patronage of his Office will
explain the matter.
The circumspect personal conduct
Of the collector, the close attention to |
the business of his office and the
genteel, sober character of the men in
his employ, have been a matter of fire.
quent favorable comment. He works
1t his desk as laboriously as any clerk |
in his office, and supervises every de-
tail. He has fully redeemed his
pledge made in the outset that he
would have no drunkards in the ser
vice, and summsrily fred those who
were inclined to tipple. His men are
under strict discipline and can always
be found at their posts.
With such a record as this, it is |
only annoying that any attempt to
asperse his official career should be
made, and if any notice is taken by |
the department of the charges it is |
foregone conclusion that nothing will |
come of them.

THE CONGRESSIONAL RACE


Unless the candidacy of Editor
Givens be seriously considered, Mr.
Ellis is up to the present time the
only announced candidate for Con
gress. The time has come for pros
pective candidates to make public
their aspirations, but with one accort
those having "bees in their bonnets'
are hesitating and in dangerous
delay losing the hope of success. II
cannot be denied that Mr.. Ellis will
be hard man to beat. He is by the
universal custom of the district enti-
tied to another term. An exception
must be made in his case if he be not
his own successor. He is not only
fortified by the logic of the situation,
but by his attentive and faithful SER
vice and sedulous application to duty,
by guarding the interests of his con-
stituents ably and fearlessly, he has
Justly won the endorsement he now
seeks. The KENTUoKIAN having been
his friend in the past is gratified to
observe the character he has made in
body where new members are ex-
pected to keep in the background
during their first terms. If there are
those who expect to defeat Mr.. Ellis,
it is high time they were beginning to
bestir themselves. 1t has been given
out that DR.. Norman, of Henderson,
will run if his pet measure in the leg
islature, the miners anti-script bill,
passes the Senate and becomes law
As this bill is already dead and buried
in Senate committee, DR.. Nor
mans candidacy may be considered
settled in the negative. Hon. j. A.
Mckenzie has also been solicited by
many of his friends to enter the race,
but he too is still undecided. Every
days delay will strengthen Mr.. Ellis,
as he has, even in Christian county, a
strong following of active workers,
who are already busily engaged TAX
ing pledges for him. If there is a
man in the district who can defeat
him, it is Mr.. Mckenzie. His extern
sive acquaintance and great popular
ity in all the counties would give him
an advantage no new man would
possess, but Mr.. Ellis has proven him
self to be very successful canvasser
in the two races he has heretofore
made and it would take some mighty
active and energetic mixing with the
voters to leave him at home. If Mr..
Mckenzie expects at this late day to
enter the contest, it is well enough
for him not to underestimate the
strength of his adversary. The fight
would be close and doubtful from the
start and would call for the most skill
full management. 1t would recall the
memorable contests of twelve or four
teen years ago. But the day of con-
ventions has passed, the mode Of set
Element is different. There would be
primary election and something like
nine thousand noses would have to be
counted to name the winner. These
are cold facts. What is done must be
done quickly.
