THE RAIN
Tobacco Planting The Markets and
Gloomy Outlook.

William Crouch, 10 the Rudolph
neighborho0d, reports good rain
Tuesday night-a first rate tobacco
season and everybody planting,
Mr.. Crouch is righteous man; he
lives in Gods country, makes the
finest tobacco that comes to the mar
ket, never wants for a season to
plant or anything else. The Lord
seems to wait on Mr.. Crouch, aud
when he is ready the rain is sure to
come. The farmers in that cOmmu-
nifty will finish planting this week.
There was no rain anywhere else
that we can here from, except here
in GAINESVILLE our people are all
right. Down about Erin, John Glenn.
ents says, it is dry as bone; Bro.
Broaddus is not doing his duty.
Complaints of the drouth are coming
in from all quarters. Farmers and
dealers are ordering their tobacco off
of the market. They say it looks as
if the crop is going to be failure and
prices are bound to go up. In regard
to the slim receipts given out by the
LEAF CHRONICLE, some people
don't want to believe it; but they
will know the facts later on
GAINESVILLE is in a better fix 10 that
respect than any other dark market.
They are letting down in receipts,
and are selling and re-selling to keep
up appearances. There never were 50
many "dogs." GAINESVILLE is draw
ing more largely than ever from the
Paducah and Mayfield district. They
are selling very little tobacco in
those markets. Hopkinsville will
have nothing but dogs" this year
And but for Jim Trice's going up to
Nashville to help those fellows out,
they would not be heard of this year
Jim is the biggest tobacco man in
the village now. He is learning
them folks lots about tobacco, and
that will be all the profit Nashville
will make this year in her enterprises
and stacks of money started out to
gobbIe up Clarksville-just what
Jim TTice learns them--whieh will be
good capital to start on next year.
Tobacco is good property just now,
and don't you forget it.
1t is evident now that the actual
receipts of GAINESVILLE, HOpkinsville,
Paducah, Mayfield and Nashville
will not amount to over 80, 900 hogs
heads this year, and with an average
crop GAINESVILLE sells more than that
number. With this shortage and re,
duCtiOn OF the 60,000 hogsheads of the
stocks on the markets and another
short planting, which is now inevita-
BILE, it begins to look like another IA
year for the Sunday.school class
The Springfield Herald of May Goth
reports:
"Many acres of tobacco were set
last week after the rains. The show.
ers were so gentle that the earth alb
sorbed all that fell, and the crops got
the full benefit of it. The season was
hardly a good one, yet advantage
was taken of it to put out great deal
of tobacco"

To the Tobacco LeafChronicle
Rev. B. T. Watson and family, of
Princeton, KY, visited his old home
near GAINESVILLE last week. Leaving
his wife and two little boys, he took
the early train for Elkton, where he
was to unite a young and happy
pair in holy wedlock thence
to Greensboro, KY, to attend the
meeting of the General Assembly of
the c. p. Church, and then to Leba-
non, Tenn, where he spent most of
his school days, to preach the open
ing sermon for the school of young
ladies, whose principals are DR.. Eos
ter and Bro. Weir.
We have long since learned to love
Bro. Watson, and we love to hear
him preach, with fire from above, as
he is always competent to do.
Wishing him God speed.

Clarksville Tobacco Market

Our market was very active this
week, with full breaks passing upon
the sales. The sales for the week
will foot up 500 to 800 Hhds. The
market was firm for all desirable
grades of leaf and Tugs, but irregular
at times upon funked and unsafe
packages, of which many appeared
on the board. Good rains are
needed TO pitch the remainder of the
crop.

BRING OUT THE TRUTH.

We are not of those who assume every
charge to be true that is laid at the door
of public servant. For it is an easy
thing to start scandalous rumors, and a
difficult thing to disprove them. The
rule should obtain that the person pre-
fering charges should make them good
before the defendant opens his mouth in
proof. But when all this is said, it re-
mains that there are conditions under
which there is in fact no prosecutor;
when certain facts, apparently damaging,
come to the knowledge of the public and
it becomes incumbent upon the official
against whom they bear to affirmatively
explain them.
1t would seem that that is precisely the
situation concerning the investigation
now progressing relative to the presence
In library waste basket of certain
paper scraps, that appear to prove that
packages of money have been brought
from abroad for use among Legislators
for venal purposes.
The Assemblymen, or others against
whom these mysterious scraps of paper
cast a shadow, are bound to aid in search
ing out the etruth, and to affirmatively ex-
plain their relation to them. They are
within the exception to the usual rule we
referred to in the outset. Venality must
be exposed whenever the opportunity
offers, no matter who goes down beneath
the verdict. Ifpublic trusts are to be de-
bauched and the money changers to
spread their tables in the houses of legis-
lation, and the facts be covered up by
legal technicalities, the menace to repub-
lcan institutions will become open as
sauit and self-government will fall be-
fore the bludgeon of corruption. The
Legislature cannot afford to adjourn until
it has so completely dredged the facts
in the waste basket case that not parti-
Gle of doubt remains as to what the
truth is.

AFTER the subsidence of the high
waters of December, 1889, the RECORD
UNION called attention to the wisdom of
proceeding so soon as the season per-
mitted, to bring the Y-street levee on its
lower reach to the level of the Front
street levee. The hope was expressed
that another season would not be allowed
to pass without that needed Improvement
being made. But a year did pass, and
the sag in the levee was not touched.
Shall we see another year pass by and
the necessary work be neglected? There
is also as great need that the Front-street
levee shall be raised so that in high water
the stream shall not run upon the top of
the levee, as it has for two seasons past.
So far as the question of means with
which to do the work is concerned, it is
easy enough to secure them by fair
equalization of the license system, which
at present is about as unfair and UNEQUAL
as it could by any possibility be made.

politician and solicited not to sign a
report condemning Republican mem
Der, because it would bury him
(Bledsoe) politically, which remark
implied that, if he so reported, the
effect would be bad upon the party.
That is to say, Mr.. Bledsoe, Republican
and legislator, was told by one of the
leading party leaders that he ought to
refrain from signing a report of guilty
against Assemblyman Bruner for party
reasons
The estimate of citizenship and free
government can sink to no lower level
than this. 1t is the veriest groveling in
the mire of infamy. The man who can
coolly appeal to partisan to suppress
his honest convictions, and return YER
dict that in his soul he believes to be un-
true. in order that political organization
shall not take harm, is no better than the
juror who accepts bribe or the rascal
who offers it. Party cannot take harm
- L
always gain in the esteem and respect of
the people when it is the corrector of its
own rascals. The party that attempts to
cover the footsteps of its scoundrels, and
to make the party cloth hide official in
iquity, should go to ruin, and will. Let
1t be understood, once for all, that neither
the Republican nor any other party can
afford to whitewash any man. 1t will
lose nothing of the confidence of the peo-
pie If it has the courage to deal with its
own precisely as if he We're not of its
organization. Let it once go out to the
public that party dominant in Legisla-
lures or Congresses acquits because a
guilty man is of its political faith. or that
1t convicts because an accused person is a
member of an opposing party, and it will
inevitably go down beneath the indigna-
ton OF an outraged people.

FOOLISH WOMEN.
Why VIII They be so ThoughtlesS and
Careless Even About Matters Which
Concern Their Beauty.


The plainest features become pretty when
clothed with fresh, velvety skin. It is in
the power of every woman to have a soft. fine
skin, thus adding much to her charms If she
will devote a little time and care to her toilet.
1t should be q duty as well as a pleasure to
every woman to enhance her powers of at
tractivenesS.
SO says the highest authority in London,
but nothing can be more absurd than for any
lady to try and be beautiful simply by pow
derlng the face, or applying cream or oint-
ment These things are necessary, it is true:
put something else is more important. Good,
refreshing sleep. Warm, circulating blood
which never permits cold feet or blue noses
These things make beauty quicker than any
powders or lotions can. But, my lady reader
says, how can this be done? Keep the blood
moving by some gentle stimulant and for this
purpose nothing is equal to pure whisky. Not
the whisky one commonly hears of; not the
questionable kind that is drunk by gross men
IN groSser places, but something pure palata-
bic and pleasing. This is precisely what
Duffy's Pure Malt Whisky is and what has
made 1t SO immeasurably popular. The best
doctors In the land prescribe it. The finest
scientists ind0rse ii. In il all those qualities
are found which make ii great friend to
women. 1t relieves the sufferings to which
they are SO subjected, and counteracts the
wearing effects which SO often cause women to
grow old prematurely
Dufy's Pure Malt Whisky WILL taken with 8,
little water, tone up the system and replace
languor and weakness with brightness and
vigor. 1t Is being used by the leading ladies
OF the land. But be sure and secure the gen.
ulne, and take only Dufy's. S

AN ODD PROCEEDING.

The proceeding in the Assembly yes
terday, in the matter of the report of the
Bruner Investigating Committee, was, to
say the very least, an odd one. That it
will not do as legislative precedent is
undeniabie. When committee, repre-
sented by majority thereof, presents
its report to the body creating it, it is
common decency to receive it. As to
whether it shall be then read, is a totally
different matter. But to refuse a ma
jority the right to file its report because
minority of the committee is not pre-
pared to file dissent, is to place in the
hands of minority dangerous and un-
precedented power.
The custom in all parliamentary bodies.
that has become rule, in fact, is for the
majority to report whenever it is ready,
regardless of dissenting minority.
When the majority report is presented
the custom is for the minority to give
notice that it will submit dissenting re-
port then, or at a subsequent date Some
times the minority report is presented
with the majority, but it is unheard-of
procedure to refuse filing to majority
report in order to await the preparation
of a minority report. Such action at once
raises the suspicion that the body is not
proposing to deal fairly; in fact, it insults
its agent when it declines to even receive
the majority report until the good pleas
ure of the minority is consulted.
Carry out the doctrines of the Assembly
to their legitimate result, and it will be
found that it will give dissenting mi
nority the power to control the action Of
the committee. In equally bad taste was
it for Mr.. Bruner to take any part in the
debate concerning the reports. His re-
sistance to the filing Of the majority re-
port does not comport with innocence,
and it smacks, when taken in connection
with his assault upon the Chairman of
the committee, of a scheme to prejudice
the report, and to challenge the good faith
of the Legislators who signed it. If the
committeeman were biased and had
judged him before hearing the testimony,
the time to present proof to that end
would be when the report came to be con-
sidered. 1t would then be perfectly
legitimate to assail the committee, if any
chose but to do so on proposition to
forbid the filing of regularly prepared
and submitted report was as discreditable
as was the refusal of the report by the
Assembly.
