No man is so great that the world can't get
along without him, and doubtless Germany will
survive the retirement of Prince BISMARCK from
the Chancellorship of the Empire. Still if his
withdrawal is not speedily followed by some
sort of disaster, orinternal or international COM
plication of very grave nature, the world will
be surprised What had been known of the
character and temperament of the young En-
peror before the present crisis arose was not
calculated to inspire confidence or win admira-
ton, and the fact that the crisis has been pre-
cipitated through his stubbornly insisting on
policies to which the astute and venerable crea-
tor Of the modern German empire is irrevoca-
bly, opposed can hardly fail to increase this feel
ing of distrust. BISMARCK and his masters, old
and young, represent ideas and systems abhor-
rent to the best interests of humanity true civ
ilization, and Christianity, as these are dis
cerned in the light of American sunshine.
Young Emperor WILLIAMS mistakes, there
fore, are such mainly from the standpoint OF
imperialism, and those who believe in free pop
ular governments could watch with equanimity
his entering on course that promises disaster,
if himself and his family and the military en-
pire were alone to be involved in it. But q
European war, which young WILLIAMS rash
ness seems likely to precipitate, would be a
calamity TO the great German people and to al
Europe, and from every point of view is to be
deprecated.

The President Has Returned.

The President returned to Washington at A
o'clock yesterday afternoon from his shoot
ing trip on the Maryland Gun Club preserves.
He brought with him about sixty fine ducks as
the result OF his skill with the gun, and ap-
peared to have greatly enjoyed his outing,

The premature publication of the provisions
of the MCKINLEY Tariff bill seems to have been
in the nature of 'ye-that-havc vcnterests-to-pro-
tect-prepare-to-h protected-now' proc
lamation 1t was q last call to the class which
has grown rich and wants to grow richer
through the favor and partiality of the laws and
at the expense of all the other classes of the
community. 1t let them know in ample time
what sort of compromise the Republicans of
the House thought of making between the
party's platform promises to the whole country
and its signed and-sealed contract with the
great campaign fund contributors. And it gave
the latter chance to come forward and make
their last decisive "kick'' where the proposed
compromise really threatened their profits, thus
enabling the Ways and Means Committee to
understand very clearly just how to fix their
bill so that it can be rushed through the House
with the least possible friction, and will curtai
in the slightest possible degree the princely in
comes of the protected when it becomes law.
And from the amount of vigorous "kcking'
done by the representatives Of the protected in
dustries, it is safe to say that the provisions of
the bill when it is introduced in the
House will be materially different from
those ''prematurely" published on Wed
nesday. 4 very remarkable feature OF
the bill as published should be noted. The
cuts made in the sugar duty, on rice, tobacco
alcohol, and few other articles, it is claimed
would effect a reduction in the revenue OF
$60,O00,0 900. But at the same time the bill, fol
the protection of the sgriculturists of the
West placed higher duties on eggs, potatoes
hops, and some other agricultural products. No
attention was paid to the likelihood of these
new taxes tending to offset the reduction Of
revenue effected on sugar, etc. The conclusion
is natural that the increased duties on agricul
tural products were intended merely to pull thu
wool over the eyes Of the farmer of the West
These duties could afford the latter no protec
ton, because when corn is so cheap that h'
finds burning it as fuel the most profitable us'
he can make of it, it is not likely any foreign
agricultural products could, even without
tariff barrier, come into the country and under
sell his own products The McKISLRr bill is
and was intended to be, q more advanced higl
protection measure than has ever before beeI
presented in Congress. And inevitably, as tn
wears 90 on, the protected industries will neei
more and more protection. The man who cam
get along without half dozen doses Of stimu
liant day this year will require ten or twelV
doses to produce the same effect next year.

The death of Gen. CROOK has removed one of
the sturdiest and most striking figures in our
later military history. He was thorough soldier
and a man who in every relation of life reflected
credit on his country and on the military ser
vice of the nation. No better epitaph can be
found for his tomb than Gen. SHERMAN's say

The Contest Monday.

The Cowan- -Prowse contest will bt
called next Monday, but nothing
further than to organize the Board
can be done. The work of taking
depositions is far from complete and
there is probably another months
work in this direction. Mr.. Cowan
has his ease well in hand and his
prospects for ultimate success are
very flattering. On the other hand
few of the votes challenged by his
adversary can be thrown out, unless
the permit voters are thrown out,
in which event fully as many Prowse
votes would be lost. The "unregis-
tered list in Prowse's answer EN-
braced 81 names, and very nearly al
of these have been found regis
tered and legal voters Errors in
spelling and in initials were the pre-
texts upon which most of them were
challenged. Other classes of Cow
ans challenged votes also show up
clear and legal without the loss of a
vote. 1t is becoming more evident as
the contest progresses that Cowan re-
ceived a good majority of the legal
votes.

THE H. & G. ROAD.


Its Proposition AnxiousIy and lmpatient-
W Awaited
The suggestions of the KENTucKIAN
Tuesday in regard to the ii. a. G.
Railroad are meeting with much favor
and If the company will only prepare
and submit a reasonable proposition
the people will be found ready TO
help the enterprise. Judge Landes is
President of the new company and
being also attorney for the o. v, he
is not in a position to push the new
and better proposition as long as there
is any hope for the o. V. This road
now promises to do something with
in week or two, but the chances are
that it is the same old promise that is
being made to do duty for the hun
dredth time. The KENTUcKAN will
not put much faith in the ability or
inclination OF the 0. V. to come to-
Hopkinsyille until it makes move
that looks more like business than
anything we have yet seen. The bet
ter plan is to go ahead and
build our own road and not wait up
on the slow and uncertain movements
of a paper road. We were told that
if the o. V. lost the Christian county |
bond case in the Court of Appeals
another proposition would be sub
mitted at once, but after eight months
delay we are stu put off with pro-
misses and the proposition is still with
held. Is it any wonder that the peo-
pie are getting tired fooling with the

position and have it quick.
