The Mt. Sterling advocate. (Mt. Sterling, Ky.) 1890-current, 1892-12-20

The people of the country on Nov
S, placed the Democratic party in
power. to take effect March 4th next,
! by a majority that absolutely
astoundGd both winners and losers in
the contest. This was a notice served
on the politicians Of the country, that
those who cast the ballots demanded a
| change in the management and policy
Of the Government. The majority
was sO'prOnounced that it is impossi-
bic for the Democratic PARTY to pre-
tend that it does not understand it's
import. The robber tariff the pension
frauds, the national election law the
reckless extravaganza in the way of
subsidies, etc, were the markedly
prominent issues of the campaign.
The people want CHANGE in these
things, and want it NOW. From all
over the country comes the call for an
extra session Of Congress, but some
politicians are so tcnderfooted that
they are for putting OFF till December
the meeting Of the next Congress, thus
fCrcing upon the people the endurance
Of these miquiti"s for a yet longer
period than is necessary. Do we in
tend to keep the promises made to the
people when we went before them.
asking them to place our party in
power? Or, are we afraid to attack
the mOnstrOus evils that are confront
ing us?
These are questions that, unless
they are answered to the satisfaction
Of the voters Of this nation, will cost
the Democratic party dear, two years
hence. If the Democrats haven't the
courage TO carry out their promises
then the party is doomed, and we
had as well face the fact first as last.
'If the party cannot trust itself, how
can it ask the people to trust il 20
The people are determined to have
these evils remedied and renledied
promptly, and unless the Democratic
leaders show disposition to give
relief, there will be some statesmen
out of job at tho very irst opporiu-
nifty the voters get attAgm.

One Of Bath eountx's sterling Dem

One Of Bath county, sterling Dem
Ocruts came into our Office Wednesday,
and after some friendly greetings,
said: "DoWn our way we love you
Eor the enemies you have made. The
ADVOCATE made such magnificent
fight in the U0zelrigg Holt race that
vc feel like showing our appre-
citation Of its work" With that he
Bald on our desk list of names, with
the money to pay for the subscriptions
pinned to the paper. The Democratic
friends Of the ADVOCATE have been
standing by us most nobly all the
time during and since the campaign.
A number of the staunChost and most
financially responsible Democrats in
this section came TO us some time ago
and said "Keep list of every Re-
publican who discontinues bis paper,
aud we will see to it that two Demo-
cratic names go on your list for each
discontinuance. We will need the
ADVOCATE in future contests, and pro-
pose to support it so it will be the bet
ter prepared to fight our battles when
we shall stand in need Of it," Let
Democrats everywhere do for the
Democratic papers just what our
friends are doing for us. You expect
these same papers to do vast amount
OF work for you in campaign and, if
you literally support them, you have
q right to such work. But ifthe Dem
Ocratic support is only given in half
hearted way, and if the patronage you
can give is as often thrown to Re-
paliican organ. you are only sbearing
she Sampson that should do battle for
you, aud placing Hercules club in
che hands of your adversary. Demo-
crats, support your papers; it will pay
you well in an hour of party need.

The question Of II restriction Of I'M
migration is becoming serious one
That we need some sa!utGry lcgis!a-
tion along this line seems to be uni
vers2ily admitted. The IIaymarket
affair in Chicago and our later
tIOublcs with these rcd-mouthCd An
archists, the terrible Malta affair i'll
New Orleans, all have emphasized
the matter, and the past Summer the
cholera, together with the menace ii
aGids to us in the future, has seemed
20 bring us with staltling suddonncss
Gao6 to face with the question. The
trouble seems to be that our gates
have in the past been too wide open
aud now an attempt to properly re-
strict the passage through them may
60 TOO far, and keep out class Of
citizens we would gladly welcome to
cur shores. But the menace both
from IN influx of the criminal classes
and from the plague infected districts
is SO great that something must be
done.

"Will it be Butterworth or McI{in-
ley ?" is the significant question in the
editorial cOlnmn of the Toledo Com
merCial that eXcifes comment in po-
Iitical circles here, and indicates a
movement TO displace the Governor
with some Republican less radical on
the protective tariff question.-Com-
mercial-Gazettc.
Ohio Republicans want a change,
not altogether, but just enough to re-
cover lost suffrage. They think a
little less Mckinleyism might do it as
to the tariff question, but then, the
Force Bill! oh, my, what will they do
with it? It is worse than the Gazette
and its negro. 1t will not down, and
respectable Republicans are disguised.
Republicans have had a national hair
cut, and have been forever shorn of
their strength.

Mr.. George e. Coleman, the popu.
lar Railroad Agent at this place, has
resigned. His resignation is to take
effect not later than January LIST. MI
Coleman's successor has not as yet
been determined upon, though Mr.,
Claude Paxton is mentioned in this
connection. Mr.. Coleman's intention
when he sent in his resignation was
to, at once, accept one of three lucra-
tive positions, he had open to him.
There is one especially flatter-
ing offer he has on the Pacific Slope
that would tempt almost any one.
He is business man of splendid fit
ness. and his extensive service has
given him wide acquaintance in
railroad circles, where he is as highly
esteemed as by the friends here, who
have known him since his early boy
hood.
Since it became known that Mr.. Cole
man had rendered his resignation, a
strong pressure has been brought TO
bear on him, to induce him to engage
in other business in this city. There
are some family reasons why, just at
present, he should not leave Mt. Ster-
ling, but whether they will be suffi-
cient to induce him to change his
mind and stay among us, we are not
advised. Mr.. Coleman's long and
close study of railroad matters, togeth-
or with his pluck, energy and fine
social qualities are sure to make him
a success ON any road thai may be
fortunate enough to securs his SER
vices.

Mt. STERLING ADVOCATE TUESDAY. DECEMBER 20 1892.

There l. vast amount of indigna-
nation among the local bar and the
business men Of this city and county
over the action of Judge John +.
Cooper, in appointing Mr.. Allie w.
Young Master Commissioner of the
Montgomery Circuit Court. As to
Mr.. III. Clay Turner'S appointment, as
Receiver, for the same Court everyone
is satisfied, for besides being citizen
of the county where he is thoroughly
identified in interest, he is splendid
business man. AS to Mr.. Young per-
sonally, there is also no objection, nor
does anyone blame him for accepting
a good thing when he could get IL,
But he is not, or was not till within
a day or two, ESQ far as the knowl-
edge of the people at large goes) a cit
izen of this county. In appointing
Mr.. Young, Judge Cooper has made
one of the grvaest political mistakes
of his life. The people of the county
think he has offered them personal
affront in going beyond their borders
to find man suitable for the position.
If Judge Cooper did not have friend
within the county who was qualified
to fill the position, then he should
cease to live among such people.
Judge Cooper has been honored by
this county with its strong support,
and it is certainly in very bad taste
for him to go to another county for a
man to fill the responsible position Of
Master Commissioner of his Court.
We are informed that Judge Cooper
did this advisedly; that it was repre-
sented to him il was in bad taste, and
was piece Of business that would
likely cost him dear. In the face of
the fact that the people of the county
would resent such action on his part
Judge Cooper chose TO make the OBJ
jectionable appointment and now he
must take the consequences. We are
for our own people, first, last and all
the time, and we are firmly per-
suaded that Montgomery county has
plenty Of men, fully competent to fill
all the office, within her borders with
out calling on sister county for aid. |

Ahout Pronunciation.

The dictionaries are not reason enough
for any ones making himself utterly
singular among his fellows. On the
same principle we in America continue
to say "skedule" instead of making peo-
pie open their eyes by saying .'schedule.'
When we are in England we may say
"tong"~ instead of "tung" for "tongue."
but the wise American will go with all hia
countrymen in such matter when he is
at home. Very few people, either English
or American, ever say "dyuty," s.con-
stityution," and SO on, and yet that IS
undoubtedly the way we ought to pro-
nounce them-if we are going strictly
by the authorities. 1t is better to be
idiomatic, either in writing or speaking,
than to be just right by the book.-Bos-

Liberty Poles.


A dramatic feature of our early
history was the liberty pole SO dear
to American boys and boyish men a
century ago, although many Of their
descendants have never heard OF
them.
Liberty poles were, for the most
part, erected after the Revolutionary
war was 80 long an acknowledged
fact that the rebels c,ald take time
and breath to give it some pic.r1r-
esquo expressions. After the repub-
lie was established we hear little
more of them until the war Of 1912
reused the ;lntagonism of the people,
and up went the long shafts again,
each protest against British agrees
sion.
During the whisky insurTection
in the last decade of the Eighteenth
century. when seven counties Of
Pennsylvania and Virginia ar1ayed
themselves in defiance of the: na-s
tional government, liberty poles shot
up during the night in the rebellious
TOWNS aud VII lagos; painted al bright
red as signals of war
+ Liberty poles were erected during
presidential campaigns in the first
part Of the century by both Wings
and Democrats,
They were usually made of white
pines, dashed together until they
reached a great height. The more
feivid the zeal of the party the
higher rose the pole. Sailors were
often brought out from the seaboard
to inland towns to assist in the cree
ton and to rig flags to the amaze
ment and delight 90 the boys who
knew nothing of ships or seamen.
Mass meetings were held under
these poles. which were often re-
gayled with superstitious affection.
The blowing down of pole by a
high wind during a campaign chilled
the hopes Of one party. and cheered
the others. " outh 8 Companion.
