THE SENATORIAL SUCCESSION.

The SENATORIAL SUCCESSION
The formal announcements for Sen
ator will be made to-day, pll partie
having had the decency to wait unit
Senator Beck was buried. There vii
be at least half dozen starters, viz
Carlisle, Knott, Mckenzie, Lindsay
McCreary and Stone. Besides these
complimentary votes will be cast fo
Judge Willis Reeves, of Todd, ane
Col. Laban T. Moore, of Eastern Ken
lucky.
Mr.. Mckenzie is, of course, the first
choice of the KENTUoKIAN. His
claims are as strong as those of any
other man, his ability as statesman
is unquestioned and his location in
the State should give him strength
Western Kentucky should have the
Senator this time if it is ever to have
another such honor. Mr.. Mckenzie
however, is at the disadvantage OF
having no home representative OF
State Senator to manage his race, nor
are there any "future Congressman
in his district now in the Legislature,
Interested in getting him out of the
way, excepting perhaps DR.. Norman,
of Henderson.
The candidacy Of Capt. Stone also
complicates matters and defeats both
Of them certainly unless they can
reach an understanding. On the 9TH
er hand Carlisle will come into the
fight with his own district solid and
all of Eastern Kentucky at his back.
1t is conceded by all that he will
lead ON the first ballot.
Knott is also leading factor in the
race for various reasons and his can
didacy will take strength from Nc
Kenzie.
Lindsay's following will be strong,
as a majority of his colleagues in the
State Senate will probably be for him.
He is an able. man, but by no
means the best timber in the State.
This leaves McCreary with his pop
ularity in his home district, fortune
of 100000 and the reputation of be-
ing the shrewdest politician in Ken
lucky to aid him in his race. Should
a deadlock occur and give McCreary
time to get in his work, there might
be such another outcome as was wit
messed in the Blackburn Williams
contest.
There will be in the contest 1l6
votes. The only guess we have so far
seen as to the first ballot gives Car
Isle 30, Lindsay %, Mckenzie 22,
Knott 22, scattering 10. This was be
fore Stone and McCreary were counted
in the race. In this makeup Stone
will take from Mckenzie and McCreary
from Lindsay. Unless Mckenzie
can get all of Western Kentucky s
strength and enlist the services of
some good managers, the result will
narrow down in all probability to
Carlisle and Knott, with chances in
favor of Carlisle.
This is from the present outlook,
but in days time the entire situa-
ton may be changed.

A negro convicted of outragilg a
white girl was shot to-death by mob
in the jail at Columbia, S.. C. The
lynching was the result of dissatisfac-
ton at the slow and uncertain meth
ods of the law. 1t might as well be
understood first as last that public
sentiment in the South makes death
the only punishment for such crimes
as this. If the law would inflict the
penalty more promptly, there would
be fewer lynchings and less occasion
for an unfriendly press to howl about
Southern Outrages."

yesterday afternoon, the occasion be ing
the eighth semi i-monthly concert given
by Seibert's orchestra. There was the
usual carefully prepared programme
and the same enthusiastic reception of
each number as is always noticeable
feature of these events. The singing
by the male chorus of the "Ave Marian

won for the singers the most rapturous
applause. The performance of the
Bocherini minuet, the march ''Louisen'
by the orchestra, and a cello solo by
Prof. E. Mich were all well received,
the latter being most enthusiastically
applauded. The concert closed with
grand selection from the ballet sex

of the best ever given in this city, all
the selections being of a high order of
musical merit and brilliantly executed.

of modern times. Henceforth the firm
basis must be that of a historic person.
He was historic force; the nature and
measure of this force must be deter
mined. The four Gospels must be
studied with reference to the period,
the writer's, the civilization. The lives
of Christ. Lyman Abbot. Farrar, Geike,
Edersheim. are of great value.
Most of mems mistakes come from a
lack of patie nee in finding out the facts.
They err because they suppose they
know too much. Scientific facts, which
are phenomena iii the material world,
are comparatively easy. The higher
facts and forces which belong to history
are much more difficult,
Consider how difficult it is to under
stand that complex thing. man, made
up of body and soul, with the senses
corresponding to the body, and the in
tuitIons corresponding to the soul, with
the world acting upon him through the
senses, and God speaking to him through
the intuitions. The body and soul act
upon each other. The result of this
union and of his unfolding through the
senses and intuitions bring him into
contact with civilization. How diff
cult to decide what is individual and
what is gathered from the historic set
ting. Then the relation of the accumu-
lations of pastforces and the impression
OF present institutions add to our diff
culties. The cOmmonest man in all his
relations is an unmeasured mystery.
What then shall we say of that

We must separate the transitory Jesus.
including the Jew, the Oriental, and
even the miracle worker, from the
eternal Jesus, who is the worlds abiding
teacher. We must think of Him as a
developed Jesus, increased in wisdom
and stature. The child passed into the
youth; the youth into the man, and the
man into the Messiah. We must think
at His miracles, His teachings, His
oratory, His resources, His personality.
We must think of Him as a sacrificing
Jesus. He knew how to suffer and be
strong. We must think of Him
as a cosmopolitan Jesus. The les
son of His approachableness, the
friend of children, of beggars. and
OF lepers. We must think of Him as
careful of His own development, wise
in His friends and retreats. and humble
in His prayers. We must think of Him
as patient Jesus, of His great plans,
His worldwide and age-long purposes,
the carefulneSs and wisdom of His be-
glnningS. We may think of him as an
unlimited Jesus. Judaism melted into
the nations, His message into the uni

"The world has thought much Of
Jesus of Nazareth. and is YET to think
much more"
These were the opening words of DR..
Sam &. Smith in his sermon yesterday
morning at the Peoples church. A
carefully condensed report of the dis
course reads:
Since Christ's personality is the cen
trai sun about which all Christian
thought must reyolve, we can have no
religious astronomy till we find out
about what that sun may be. There are
three points of view. the philosophical,
the theological and the historical. West
ern theology, at an early period, swung
off from the philosophical basis, and,
perhaps. wisely so. The chief thought
of the church has henceforth been theo-
logical. This also had its necessities,

CANDLEMAS DAY.
Impr essiVe Ceremonies in Catho-

Abip So5iNC OdJEiO-
lie Church-The Willy Ground
hog Abroad.
Yesterday was Candlemas day, the
day upon which the Roman Catholic
churches throughout the world celebrate
the feast of the publication of the Vir-
gin Mary. This festival is one of the
most strictly observed of any embraced
in the Catholic religion. The title of
Candlemas day is derived from the fact
that professions with lighted candles
are part of the service, and that all
candies to be used In the ensuing year
are consecrated on that day. The day
was religiously observed in all the
churches of the city yesterday, and ey-
cry Catholic edifce was crowded at
each service. The ceremonials of the
service are most impressive, even more
striking than any of the impress
siye ceremOnialS of the church.
Yesterday was also grounding day,
the day upon which the woodchuck is
said to emerge from his burroW and
size up the weather. An old superst-
ton says that the ground hog comes to
the surface on Feb. 2, looks over his
shoulder, and, if his shadow is visible,
at once returns to his hole and stays
OHCLC iOl SIA WcShS. UGlHS COuHiHcSu
that as the sun Shone out on Candlemas
day there will be a relapse of cold
weather to last over that period. Some
times this absurd belief happens to be
justified by the ensuance of cold snap
after CandlemaS, and many more be-
levers are brought into line in conSe-
quence of the coincidence. Yesterday
at II o'clock the sun shone brightly,
and if the measly little varmint
was on time, it's dollars to
doughnuts he saw shadow enough
to scare him into hiding for
six months instead of six weeks. AS
matter of fact, however, there does
not seem to be any great probability of
very severe weather for February.
There is promise of storms of more or
less importance to occur throughout the
month, but none that need cause any
particular apprehension are looked tor
in this locality. 1t may be that the
ground-hog is better Informed than the
bureau people, and that the old women
will have the laugh on the prophets,
but the latter are in the ascendant at
present, having given reasons for their
conclusions. while the grounding gives
no more satisfactory reason than that
his shadow fell upon the snow at noon.
