THE FREIGHT RATE QUESTION.

| The Popu!ist candidates and organs
are pretending great deal of concern
over the rate question. The situation
on the freight question has entirely
changed within the past year. At the
last session Of the legislature there was
not business man in the state at To-
peka demanding new laws controlling
freight rates, and the reason there was
no demand for change at that time is
that every complaint that was intelli-
gently placed before the state board of
railroad commissioners was promptly
acted upon and honestly adjusted.
About year ago the jobbers of the
interior towns of the state made a COM
plant that determinations existed
against them and in favor of Missouri
river towns. This complaint was heard
and the commissioners rendered de.
cision that was satisfactory to the int.
rior jobbers. And right here is where
the present dissatisfaction arose.
Neither the order of the COM
missoners nor subsequent compromise
entered into between the railroads and
the shippers has ever gone into effect,
and today the question Is awaiting a
hearing in the supreme court of the
state. If the commissioners have no.
the power to enforce an order, they
should be given such power. The fusion
crowd are referring 10 their record and
call attention to house bill No. 743. A
more stupid bill was never introduced,
and its reading and effect stamp it as
the effort of an ignoramous or the tool
of the Missouri river jobbers and the
railroads combined. And the Repub-
lican senate never did wiser act than
when they killed that bill. The Repub-
lican party has never failed to enact
laws when they were demanded by the
people.
The railroads, if they are sup
porting the Republican ticket, are
not doing SO because they have
any greater pull with that party,
but because they are interested in a
party control that will build up the
state; in party that stands for pros
perity, not adversely; in party that will
uphold the credit of the state, and not a
party that is attempting to destroy it.
Because they believe the judiciary of
the state is safe in the hands of the Re-
publican party, and that it would be I'M
safe in the hands of the fusionists. Not
only the railroads, but 80 per cent of the
business men of the state are supporting
the Republican ticket this fall. Every
important interest in the state realizes
that the growth and credit of the state
is involved in the next election. They
believe that to thrust the highest office
within the gift of the people upon IN
unknown man would be dangerous.
They know that to pat in power party
that is made up of political soreheads,
and place hunters from the towns and
misguided and shiftless agriculturalists
from the country would be dangerous
And that is the reason they are stand
ing up for Kansas

The Advance, the Peoples party paper
published in Marion, hauled down the
county and senatorial ticket last week.
The editor Is hot He says that he went
there and started his paper all alone,
and has fought the Peoples party battles
at sacratice; that the first three months
were indeed trying times; that his
family We're often in want. Aad now,
he says, after all this sacrafice and
struggle, just when he had enlarged his
paper. and was getting on his feet" a
miserable fusion was effected, barter
and sale of two parties made by some
schemers and not by the rank and file of
either party; another paper is taken into
the ring, the Advance is ignored, and an
attempt is made to crush il in the in
terest of the new organ of reform. Il is
an exasperating proceeding, and has al
most an exact parallel ia this city.

BOTH ARE GULL TY | 7.
Jack Swain and Mack Hodge
Arrested For Forgery.
They Held Up an Old Man and Took
His Money From Him BY
Force.

Brief mention was made Saturday
of the arrest of Jack Swain on
charge of robbery. He was charged
with being one of the parties who
held up old man Neely on College
street and took frOm his pockets 500
In money, Mack Hodge was also
accused of being party to the crime
and the police succeeded Saturday
night In catching him. Swain ac-
knowledges the crime and says they
took $l3 from Nicely. Hodge says he
knows nothing about the matter and
is innocent of the charge preferred
against him. They are both In Jail
awaiting a hearing.
The iacts in the case, as gathered
from tine police, are about AS follows:
Friday night Neely, who lives in
the st. Bethlehem vicinity, started
home, going out G ll,g street. He
was walking and seems to have been
under the influence of whisky to a
certain extent. When at the inter-
section OF Ninth and College he came
up with Ho ge and Swain, who
threw him down. and took his
money from his vest pocket. Neely
was foun near this point by Officer
Stone, to whom he related his loss.
Stone went to work trying 10 find
the guilty parties. He learned from
a negro that Hodge and Swain had
been seen some little further west on
College street striking matches and
counting something which looked
like money. They were found Sat
urday and arrested. The account Of
the robbery as given by Mr.. Neely
tallies exactly with the account
given by Swain in his confession.
The evidence given the police by the
negro is also corroborated by Swain.
The fact OF the business Is, they
robbed the old man and Swain is
now trying TO get out OF IL by turn
ing States evidence.

APPROPRIATE sERvIoEs.
Pastors Lupton and Boone Tell of Gods
Great Gift to Man.

DIR. Lupton took his text yesterday
from the account Of the nativity o
Christ. Christ is the best gift to the
world. He is the bearer OF Joy tc
earth. This joy appears in the angels
who now understand something ol
the mystery of redemption. There
is Joy because Christ is the first real
hero the world ever saw. He is the
King Of Peace. The Joy is universal;
for the poor as well as the rich.
The discourse at night was based
ON the words of John the Baptist :
"He must increase" Various rea
sons were given why it must be true.
Heaven must maintain its own; III.
draws the best of earth to Hin,
makes the most of them and never
loses a true follower. Men seek as a
leader one whom they can respec,
and honor, and such they find IL
Christ. Others decrease, 30 that
room is given Him to incr, ase.

Mrs. Wesley, Mother of Nineteen.

John Wesley's mother is standing re
buke to the woman who urges the claim
that the multiplicity Of household cares
makes 1t impossible for her to devote any
adequate amount of time to the education
of her children. Mrs. Wesley was the
mother of nineteen children. and yet even
after her sons had left home and entered
college she guided them by letters filed
with judicious and thoughtful advice. OF
her Adam Clarke says; "Mrs. Wesley had
read much and thought much, and thus
her mind was cultivated. Greek, Latin
and French and both logic and mathe
matics had formed part of her studies, and
these latter acquisitions are felt in all her
writings" AS a sample Of her writings
this brief outline of her notion of dealing
with children may be quoted. "In the es
TEEN of the world they pass for kind and
indulgent whom call parents who permit
their children to get habits which they
know must be afterward broken. "-St.

Mr.. Metz failed to do this, although
Mr.. Quarter did not say go.
1t is alleged that Mr. Mentz simply
glanced at the books and then went
out and had good time with the
agent. 1t is fact thnt In the city OF
Louisville the other lines handling

surprised because the l.. 4 N. travel.

1t is claimed by the friends OF Mr..

to do, and therefore could not get
over all of the territory assigned to
him.
Mr.. Quarter declined to say this

It Seems That President Harrison's q
Troubles VIII Never End.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 26--It seems
a5 though President Harrison
trouble will never end. Two
months ago he lost his wife, about h
month ago his father-in law died
and Saturday his little grandchild,
Martina Harrison, was stricken down
with scarlatina.
The event has cast additional
gloom over the sorrow-stricken
household. Or. Gardner, who is at
tending the child, says that the dis
ease is in mild form, but unless
great precautions are observed il
might affect the other children in a
more virulent form. The little suf
ferer has been isolated in an excluded
portion OF the mansion, and tn
other little children are kept away
from her as much as possible.

A VERY HAPPY BOY.
How Charlie Bailey's Fon6est
Wish Was Gratified.
He Attends q Christmas Tree at His
Grandfather's and Gets Fine
Shotgun.

One of the happiest boys in Clarks
vile to day Is Charlie Bailey, the
nine-year- old son Of Mr.. and mrs. G.
H. Bailey. The cause of all this hap
piness comes from present he got
on a Christmas tree at his grand.
fathers, B. w. Macrae, Saturday
night.
This Christmas tree, by the way,
was one of the finest, perhaps, that
was seen in private family In
Clarksville. The whole connection
was present and every one got some
nire presents.
Some time ago Mr.. Macrae got q
female member of the family to ask
Charlie Bailey what, above every
thing else, he would rather have for a
Christmas present. Charlie replied
promptly that he would rather have a
gun than anything In the world, but
his papa would not let him have one
until he was thirteen years old.
With this Charlie dismissed the gun
from his mind, thinking that a
fathers mandate settled that beyond
question. He went out to the Christ
mas tree Saturday night, however,
and went wild over the presents he
was getting, little dreaming that his
fondest wish would soon be gratified.
John Macrae was acting Santa Claus
and was handing out the presents.
Charlie had his arms full of firecrack-
ers, toys, candy, etc., and Was t'lking
over what big time he would have
Monday. Finally Santa Claus went
around behind the tree and took
down a fine Parker breech loading
shot gun and called for Charlie.
The boy looked up, saw what it was
and then fell under the strain, drop
ping his presents all over the floor
and calling on his father to hold
him. He finally recovered enough
to get hold of his prize and he stood
there hugging it to his bosom, as
proud as any poor sinner would
have been If ST. Peter had offered
him Il seat on the throne. He came
home, but did not sleep any that
night. He was up early, and Sun
day though it was, he wanted to
handle that gun all day. Finally he
said: "Pap4, i'll could just show my
gun to Uncle Charlie Bailey 1 would
he the happitst boy on earth"
Long Charlie Bailey str 'ightened
himself up, and with a wave of his
hand, saih: "Son, tax, that gun
and get out on the street and walk as
straight to your Uncle Charities as
you can, and show IL to him. II
anybody asks you what you are do.
ing with a gun on the streets on
Sunday tell him its none OF his busi-
ness, and if that won't do, shoot
him." With this the boy shoul-
dered his gun and walked several
blocks up Main street TO his uncle's
residence and showed his prize. He
is very happy boy and has gone
hunting to day.
