No More Special Tax for Tobacco Dealers.

No More Special Tax for Tobacco Dealers.
Our old friend Clay Herndon, Deputy
Collector 4th District of Kentucky, sends
us from Paintsville the following:
"Section 26 of the Act of Congress,
October l, 1890, provides: That on and
after the first day of May, eighteen hun
dred and ninety-one, all special taxes
imposed by the laws now in force upon
dealers in leaf tobacco, retail dealers in
leaf tobacco, dealers in tobacco, manu-
facturers of cigars, and peddlers of
tobacco are hereby repealed. Every such
dealer in leaf tobacco, retail dealer in
leaf tobacco, manufactures and peddler
shall, however, register with the Collec-
tor of the district his name or style of
firm, place of residence, trade, or bust
ness, and the place where such trade or
business is to be carried on, the same as
though the tax had not been repealed,
and failure to register as herein required
shall subject such person to penalty of
fifty dollars"

Rev. VIM. H. Bartholomew, Principal
of the Louisville Female High School,
and who has been a member of the State
Board of Education for twenty years
past, pays glowing tribute to the worth
of Col. John o. Hodges, candidate for
Superintendent of Public Instruction.
We reproduce the article, which is signed
"W," from the Educational Courant,
and our readers will find it upon another
page of this issue. Apropos of this sub
ject, it may be well to note that Prof. L.
l.. Barton, who was also a member of the
State Board of Education, and for a
short time teacher of the public school
at Hazel Green, writes us from Wash
ington, D. c., that Col Hodges is in every
way qualified and eminently worthy of
the position to which he aspires.

r. II. Vansant is not now and has not
been candidate for the Appellate Clerk
ship to succeed the lamcnted Wood Long
moor. He is too much of man to run
against the widows interests, and Jim
Martin will be showed under so deep
that you couldn't find him with a micro
scope after midsummer melting. But
he is one of the kind that "wants the
earth and the fulness thereof" as shown
by the fact that he is now Assistant Sec

Court Clerk of Barren county, also at a
handsome salary. If there's anything
else he wants he might secure satisfac-
ton in a perpetual pension.

Judge Swango has been making things
hum in Western Kentucky, and since
our last issue visited the counties of
Union, Henderson, Davies, and Han
cock, in all of which he met with much
encouragement, 1t looks like his name

lister of the Land Office is assured if
Eastern Kentucky stands solidly by him,
which will surely be the case. He s
making such a gallant fight that we hear
now of no opposition TO- him.

We but voice the sentiment of this
section of the State when we say that
the acquittal of Charles f. Kincaid for
the murder of Hon. William Preston
Taulbee was an outrage on justice. The
silence of the fellow Stillman up to the
trial and the statement then made show
suborned evidence, and the people here
abOuts think the prosecution should have
made that fact plain to the jury. More
over the heresay testimony made Pres
Taulbee to say things which lifetime
spent in this section fatty contradicts-
such as swearing, etc. In short, public
opinion looks upon the prosecution as a
judicial farce. Kincaid is free under the
laws of man, and charity forbids us to
judge, but if his conscience be guilt
stained his heart will harbor a horrible
hell. But let not man say, the matter
rests with God.

The editor of the Middlesborough
News is evidently almost as enthusiastic
about the merits of our mutual friend
Afford as we are, though we claim pri-
ority in bringing him prominently before
the people. Read below what the News
man has to say on the subject:
To-day we place at the head of our
columns the name of Hon. Mitchell G.
Afford as our choice for the next Lieu
tenant Governor of the State, believing
that thorough canvass of the State of
Kentucky could result in the bringing
forward of no more able or reliable man,
or one who would discharge the duties
of the important office more conscien-
tiously or with greater credit to himself
and to his State.
"Not because Mitchell Afford is
Democrat and not because he is so closely
identified with our city, do we advocate
his candidacy, but because he is an able
lawyer; because he understands thor
oughly the needs of his State; because
he has had long and valuable experience
in our legislative halls; because his voice
was raised in those very halls against
corruption when the lobby swarmed with
the hirelings of railroad corporations
who sought to rob and grind down the
people, and by his mighty efforts the
viper was crushed. Because he did this,
spurning the spoils that could have been
gained from railroads, when his only
reward for opposing them was the salts
faction an honest man has in the knowl
edge that he has done his duty to his
God, his country and himself.
"Need we fear, then, when such man
becomes Lieutenant Governor, and, by
virtue of that office, the presiding officer
of the Senate, that the welfare of our
grand old State will be in jeopardy, or
that trickery and rascality will dare
manifest itself? Not mt all. Mitchell
G. Afford has been tried, severely tried,
in many capacities, and never yet has
been found wanting
ave fatter ourselves that we know
this man WE'LL and we are better for
knowing him, for he is one of natures
true noblemen, a man whose character is
grand picture worthy of emulation.
His life has been one of great success.
and while he has gathered around him
an army of friends, he has also CLEANED
a comfortable fortune; but this has not
changed his being one iota, and he is
today, though one of the foremost men
of the State, as unassuming, as unpre.
tentious, as in the days when he worked
upon the farm. While he holds no one
his superior, he places himself above no
honest man, and is as proud to call friend
the honorable man who wears the jeans
and follows the pillow as he is the one
who wears broadcloth and owns bank.
"Such, in brief, is Mitchell @. Afford,
and in honoring him Kentucky will but
honor herself"

FOR LIEUTENANT.GOvERNoR,
HON. M. G. Afford,
OF FAYETTE COUNTY,
Subject to action of the Democratic Party

Along toward the end of the four.
cornered campaign which terminated
but little while before the election OF
Abraham Lincoln and the commence.
ment of the civil conflict in this country,
young man who had been chosen as a
Douglas elector made speech in the old
court house at Lexington. The house
was filled with an audience embracing
the enlightened and educated elite,
among whom were such men as Col.
Roger Hanson, Hon. NJ. G. johnson, r.
A. Buckner, Esq, Mr.. Daniel Carmichael
Wickliffe, and Others of no less learning
and celebrity. The editor of this paper
was then a small boy taking his first
lessons in "the art preventative and
cared but little about politics, but the
eulogies of the speaker expressed by such
men as above named so impressed them
selves upon us that it is one bit of
political history which we have never
forgotten, and they were unit in pro-
nouncing it the most eloquent effort that
had ever been made in that court house.
This, too, Notwithstanding the fact that
they were politically opposed to the
speaker. Knowing that the great COM
moner Henry Clay, the brilliant John G.
Breckenridge, and the immortal Tom
Marshall had each honored that old tenn
pie of justice with their charming orato.
ry still more indeibly impressed the
incident upon our memory. Boy as we
then were we admired the hero of the
hour, and wondered about his future.
Thus 1t was that we were not surprised a
few years later to hear of his election to
Congress, and to read in the reports of
that body that he had honored the State
alike with Clay and Breckenridge, and
left upon the records name that time
even can never efiace. Then came twenty
years of silence, and the hero of the
speech that had electrified the great men
of Lexington and afterwards mastered
the situation in Congress was not heard
of in poltics-either State or National.
A few months since, however, we began
to hear his name associated with the
Gubematorial nomination, and inciden-
tally We noted that the gentleman is now
in the vigor of manhood at the age of
tifty-five years. Being familiar with
part of his past history we could but feel
that should he receive the nomination
and election, that man would honor the
position of Governor more than any man
who has ever filled the Chief Executives
chair, and his name is-John Young
Brown. He is Democrat in all the term
implies, as true 10 the principles of the
party as the needle to the pole, and
should he be chosen to preside over this
Commonwealth, Kentucky will have hon
ored herself more than she honors the
man. In a recent speech he said his
platform was the broad one of his party,
every plank of which is without flaw,
and that IL he went down in this race he
wished to fall full length upon it. Dem
ocrasic fellow-citizens of Kentucky, the
choice of a candidate lies with you.
This only we have to say, if it falls with
favor upon John Young Brown, you will
have made no mistake.
