Foot Cut Off.

Mr. Charles Southworth, brakes
man on the Kentucky Midland Rail
road, while engaged in coupling cars
at Elkhorn Station, Monday morning,
slipped and his left foot was caught
under the wheels, MASKING the toes
off. He was brought to this city,
where he received medical attention
and it found necessary to amputate
the foot at the instep-ths operation
being performed by Drs. Hume, Price
and G. B. Chinn Tuesday morning.

To be Built at Last.

We have il straight from Capt. j.
M. Thomas, one of the directors of
the Kentucky Midland Railroad, that
the directors have made a deal with
Capt. Anderson, a large contractor
of Chicago. in which he is to push
the road to Salt Lick Station as
speedily as possible.
Capt. Anderson has 400 miles of
railway under contract principally
in the Southland has gone to
Mobile, Ala, to recall large force of
hands, and will at once put them to
work on the Midland.
We understand that it is definitely
settled that the road will be built on
what is termed the upper route, lead
ing off from the X. G. Junction
through the farms of Messrs. j. E..
and G. M. Clay and crossing Stoner
several miles above this city, and
running to the suburbs of North
Middletown on the Eastern portion
of the town.
The right of way will be secured
on the condemnation plan as speed
lily as possible, where it cannot be OBJ
tanned by purchase.-Bourbon NeaDs.
The above reads very nice, and we
wish it was true, but the Vice Presi-
dent and other officers of the road,
whose headquarters are in this city,
know nothing of the deal.

Further Hearing.

Major d. w. Lockwood, L. S. En-
gineer in charge of the Kentucky
river, and two other officers of the
Engineer Corps, will be in the city
on Friday next, the 31st, and sit as a
commission for the purpose of hear
ing any additional argument the city
and county officials may wish to offer
why the St. Clair street bridge
should not be raised. The sitting
will be held at the Custom House.

We Must Continue t.
Walk.

At the meeting of the City Council
on Monday evening the Mayors veto
of the ordinance extending the time
in which the Capital Railway Com
pany was to construct a street rail-
road in this city, was sustained.
Those who voted for the passage of
the ordinance, the objections Of the
Mayor to the contrary notwithstand-
ing, were, President Staten, Council
men Richardson, Parsons, Payne and
Tobin, while Councilmen Church,
Darnell, Gaines and Shaw voted in
the negative. AS it was necessary to
have two-thirds vote in favor of
the ordinance to pass it over the
Mayors head it failed, and Frank
forts chances for a street car line
vanished, for some time at last.
Parties who professed to know,
claimed that three companies beside
the Capital Railway Company were
ready and an xious to put in road
here, in case the extension was not
granted, and now is the time to trot
them out. A charter, granted to Mr..
E. P. Bryan and others several years
ago the existence of which we had
lost sight of-ca be had by any
company who will agree to build
road, for the asking, and that of the
Capital Railway Company can doubt
less be obtained, so here is your
chance, gentlemen, you who pro-
fess to want road but did not want
the time of the Capital Railway Co.
extended.
A majority of the people of Frank
fort want a street car line and want
it bad, but we very much fear they
will continue to walk for long time,
as the buzz of the electric car is not
likely to be heard on our streets in
the near future.

1t Will be Adopted.

Within the next ten days the free
people of Kentucky will march to
the polls in solid columns, from the
mouth Of the Big Sandy to Hickman,
and in spite Of the opposition of the
railroads and banks and lotteries and
other combines and corporations
who claim to be their masters, will
adopt the new Constitution by such
an overwhelming majority as has
not been given to any measure since
Kentucky was State. From present
indications, in the rapid growth of it's
popularity, it would not surprise us
if all the banks and corporations and
lottery companies on.bined should
fail to carry five counties out of the
entire 119 against it. The fight is al
ready over, and the people, for whom
the new Constitution was especially
framed, are the victors as they al
ways should be in conflict with the
powers that have oppressed them.
Louisville is likely to. give the new
Constitution majority of honest
votes ranging anywhere from $500 to
10000. Lexington and Fayette
county will probably swing into line
with 5000 majority. McChesney, of
Paris, says count on Bourbon for a
majority of $500, and Capt. Sam
Gaines, of Mason, says you may
count Mason for 1000 majority. The
mountains and all Eastern Kentucky
will be nearly solid, and Central and
Western Kentucky will likely swell
the general majority to over 100000.
Franklin county alone is likely to
give 5000 majority, and man who
has looked carefully over the field
predicts that Anderson, Franklin,
Woodford, Scott, Shelby and Bour-
bon counties united will give over
10000 majority which will be more
than double the entire majority of
all the counties that may be scared
or hoodwinked or purchased by the
corporations to vote against it.
After the Sd of August the friends
of the people can truly say, in the
appropriate language of Commodore
Perry in reporting his great victory
on the lakes: ave have met the
enemy and they are ours"

The Political Pot.

The political campaign goes merri
ly along and the woods are full OF
speakers in this section. On Wed.
nesday a big Democratic barbecue
took place near Peaks Mill, at which
Gov. Buckner and Hon. G. M. Adams
spoke in the morning and in the
afternoon Hon. Chas. j. Bronston, OF
Lexington, Hon. Jerry South, OF
Arkansas, and Gen. P. w. Hardin
spoke for the Democrats and Mr.. j.
III. Davis, of Texas, for the Peoples
party. Mr.. Davis asked for divis-
ion Of time and was given the first
hour after dinner and was answered
by Mr.. Bronston. A large crowd was
present and everything passed off
pleasantly.
At night Mr.. Davis spoke in the
village of Peaks Mill and challenged
any Democratic speaker to a joint
debate, which Hon. Jas. Andrew
Scott accepted and the two had a
tilt. Mr. Davis spoke in Louisville
yesterday and then left for his home
in Texas.
Last night Hon. w. G. P. Breckin-
ridge spoke at the Court House to a
large crowd and to-day will speak at
the barbecue at Bald Knob.
Hon. Henry H. Huston, Republi-
can candidate for Lieutenant Govern
or, will speak at the Court House
Monday afternoon at o'clock.

Mr.. Louie Harris was so fortunate
as to find in the possession of an old
colored man a genuine Stadavarus
violin, which he purchased at a
reasonable price and of which he is
very proud, as they are exceedingly
scarce and very valuable. Leading
musicians who have examined the
instrument pronounce it genuine.

one Of the most rapid and best work

For long years he had been de-
voted member Of the Baptist Church
and was preacher Of that denomi-
nation, though he never had a
charge.
In the days of the old volunteer
fire department, when every citizen
was expected to lend helping hand
to subdue the flames, he was always
one of the first to a fire and never
failed to work hard and skillfully to
save property from destruction, no
matter how wealthy or humble the
owner might be. He was quiet,
good citizen, and by hard work and
economy had accumulated consider
able property, but Of late years,
through misfortune, had lost the
greater part it.

All ourpeople remember Ed. Chiles
the oldest son Of the late w. G. Chiles,
and brother of Mrs. John l.. Scott,
who was for some years druggists
clerk in Frankfort and afterwards a
druggist in Philadelphia. His only
son, Waiter G. Chiles, now about 20
years old, learned the printing bust
ness preparatory to becoming an edi-
tor and literary writer. A large num-
Der of boys of his age throughout the
United States some years ago formed
what they called an Amateur Associa-
ton for the purpose of starting a
literary paper and learning to write
graceful editorials in order to improve
their talants in the editorial line.
They held their annual meeting in
Philadelphia few weeks since, which
was largely attended by members
from the various States, from Maine
to Texas. When they came to elect
their principal editor for the ensuing
year, which office was considered the
post Of honor for the association,
there were various candidates for the
much coveted position, but young
Walter Chiles bore off the prize east

to call the mob of single city ''the peo-
pie" is absurd, for the action of no mob,
however large, can possibly be public
action.
The people Of Louisiana coYensnted
with each other and with everybody IN
their jurisdiction that they would
not permit any "person to be deprived OF
life, liberty or property without due pro-
cess of law" and il the New Orleans mob
had included every inhabitant its action
could not be the action of the people OF
Louisiana who made this constitutional
covenant. The result of this mob law
posing as ''the people" is that Rev. DR..
Palmer at recent meeting of the anti
lottery party in New Orleans, openly
threatened the lotteryites that if "they
dare TO vote against me and my followers,
rather than see their vote prevail they
shall die the DEATH
The Rev. DR.. Palmer's threat to lynch
the lotteryites he justifies on the ground
that this company is worse than the
Malta; that it is so strongly entrenched
behind the law and the courts that Its
managers can not be circumvented py law,
so DR.. Palmer implicitly says: Il cannot
unite your legal Gordian Knot, but and
my friends will cut all your throats before
we viii submit any longer to be held in
the bonds of your legal iniquity." This is
"mob law" against the gambler leaders of
the lottery party, but it is just as defensi-
BILE as the New Orleans massacre, since it
rests upon the same doctrine that puts the
will of the mob or the madness of persons
who pose as ''the people" above the law.
There is no excuse for lynch law in
civilized free government, for the moment
you plead its necessity you have confessed
that your free government under law ana
constitution is failure. A people that
need lynch law are not fit for republican
free institutions. They need such a gov
eminent by standing army as Bismarck
gave Germany.

The Geological Steal.
Snokane Review


1t IL now given out from Washington City on
official authority that this state is to have .
thorough and invaluable geological survey, the
work to be done by men of worldwide reputa-
ton, and all at the expense of the general gov
eminent. 1t is hardly necessary to say that even
were the Laughton-Bethunes survey all that was
claimed for it by its advocates the appropria-
ton by the state OF 100000 $500 600 for piece
OF work as superiuous as would be the main
tenance OF two state capitals, would be q piece
oil extravaganza that the taxpayers of this state
would condemn. But the Laughton- Bethune
affair was not geological survey. 1t was to be q
gigantic prospecting expedition at the expense of
the state, and any discoveries that might have
been made were to be gobbled up by the gang.
The Reuiew now has 1t from a well-known min
Ing expert in the Coeur d'Alenes, who examined
the work done by Assistant Geologist Riecker in
Stevens county, that 10 was worse than worth
less, and showed little or no conception Of
geology. Add to this the information now
brought from Olympia that another of these as
sistants was Laughton's butler, and we have an
array OF facts and circumstances so crushing and
convincing that the wonder is that any man
with shred Of selfrespect or decency could
longer stand up and justify SO gigantic gouge
which could only result in the bringing Of dis
grace and ridicule upon the state.

REMEMBERi

Remember, when the Dawn sets open wide
Her bright, enchanted palace to the Sun;
Remember, when the Night, the pensiveeyed
Comes dreaming under wells all silver-spun;
When thy bosom beats high with pleasure
supreme.
When the twilight allures thee to brood and to
dream;
Hark the forest profound
Has q voice in its sound
"Remember!"
Remember me- when fate has drawn our way
Altar, for evermore afar apart;
When sorrow, exile and the flight of days
Have withered like a flower this breaking
heart
0 forget not our parting, my love and its tearsi
Love laughs at the malice of space and of yearsi
While my bosom shall beat
VIII its pulses repeat
Remember
Remember me, when neyermore distrest,
This heart of mine shall slumber in the
tomb;
Remember when above its house of rest
Softly solitary flower shall bloom.
Thou wilt see me no more, but my spirit shall
be,
Like sister beloved, forever with thee.
When the midnight is nigh
Thou shalt hear q voice sigh
Remember"

the governors theory is a sound one.
While 1t is true that the troops took the
field in response to call from the county
authorizes, they were practically under
direct orders from the governor, since he
had instructed the regimental commander
to await the call of the sheriff and to re-
spond to it. The theory that the county
ordered out the troops and is therefore re-
sponsible for their pay is. it appears to US,
a strained construction.
