Hard Times"

"Hard Times" is an expression that
has been ON the lips Of people Of every
condition of life for the past four months,
not only here in Lexington but all oyer
the United States. People Of all classes
have talked and thought more of "hard
times" than of religion, politics, or base
ball. Some of them have never known
any but hard times, and others have
never known hard times and have now
no conception OF what they mean. How
ever, it is quite the thing to talk hard
times and we all talk it.
), One good result from the present de-
preston in business is the lesson Of
economy that has been forced upon
some of us, and which Others have
learned because it has become fashion,
able TO economize. In herd OF cattle
or horses, or in flock OF sheep or geese,
there are leaders who direct the move
ments OF the herd or flock. The others
are ollowers--imtators How much
more so are the animals whom we call
people. 30
A man, generally a young man, has a
very good suit OF cll hes but he can wear
it no longer because it is not the latest
style. A leader in fashion has new
one and he must follow. A woman de-
sires TO entertain but she cannot afford
to give as handsome an entertainment
as her neighbor has given and she has
not the courage to do only what she can
afford, so she goes beyond her means,
and prudent people recognize her rs an
imitation.
II is gratifying to observe that people
Of late have reached the point of confess
ing that they must economize. Any'oi
us could live on less than our present
expense il we only had the courage TO do
so. II our friends and neighbors would
wear old clothes and spend less money
we would be perfectly willing to do so
II they get new ones we must have

in his heart, Secretary Graham adroitly
changed the subject, the mans excite
ment gradually subsidized, and when he
left the place he had apparently forgot
ten what he had said in the heat of pas
sion few moments before. Neither Of
the gentlemen thought any more OF the
subject, and Secretary Graham regarded
it as so trivial as far as is known he did
not mention the subject to his chief.
In the early mail that was delivered in
the first or a. m. delivery in the City
Hall this morning there was letter from
Pendergast addressed to Mayor Harrison
in which he urged upon the Executive
the necessity OF immediate action upon
the elevation of the tracks. Secretary
Graham, upon whom the duty vi open
ing and classifying the Mayors mail has
always devolved, laid the communication
to one side, regarding il as lacking suffi-
cient importance to bring to the personal
attention Of the Mayor but rather as
emanating from one OF the small whims
of cranks that day in and day out deluge
the Mayors Office with recommendations
and propositions and suggestions Of all
kinds and things innumerable. After
the mail had been sorted Secretary Ora
ham, who had an appointment at the
Worlds Fair with the gentlemen in
whose company he had been when Prem
dergast forced his company upon them;
left for jackson Park, where he spent
the day. He had just returned and
reached the house of friend on the

ing reached him, and he realized that
Prendergast's talk Of a couple Of days
before was something more than the
vaporings OF an exciting and harmless
individual.

CITIZENS OF F0RDsvILLE TAX.
ING STEPS TOWARD DEvEL.
oPING A PET IDEA.
Fordsville For The County Seat.

The citizens of Fordsville, Ohio county,
have been working in quiet way for
some time endeavoring TO perfect plan
for forming new county with Fords-
vile as the county seat, and including
parts of Daviess, Grayson, Breckenridge
and Butler counties. Yesterday Messrs.
]. S. McCune and J. w. Tabor, Of Fords-
vile, representing the organization Of
citizens in that territory, were in the
city to consult Judge l.. p. Little with
ragard to the steps necessary to be taken
in such an undertaking.
The new constitution requires that
any new county formed must have an
area Of 400 square miles, and does not
permit any county to be reduced to less
than that area by the formation. 1t
also requiSes the consent of majority
Of the people residing within the pro-
proposed limits, and that the line of the
new eslnty shall not run within 10
miles OF any county seat.
The exact lines have not been decided
upon yet, but Whitesville will be in
cludedsin the proposed slice out of Da-
viess county. Daviess county contains
only 40 square miles at present, and
the constitution will only permit an area
of 10 square miles to be taken away from
it. Petitions to the general assembly
will be drawn up IN day or SO and an
active canvass among the people resid-
ing within the proposed lines will be be-
gun by the citizens OF Fordsville.
The principal part of the new county
is proposed to be drawn from Ohio coun-
ty, though large slices are to be taken
from Breckenridge, Butler and Grayson.
These citizens are looking with longing
eyes at part of Hancock county, though
they .hipk it will be impossible to get a
place unless some "swap" can be made,
as the limits of Hancock embrace now
only about 200 square miles.-0wens'

II Paws to Raise Good Stock.

When farmer gets it>into his head
that stock does not pay, he usually gets
careless as to the sort Of stock he keeps,
regarding it rather as a necessary evil
than as source OF possible profit. This
is all wrong, for even II you are bound to
lose on stock, you will lose faster on poor
animals than on good ones. Poor stock
induces poor care aud poor feeding, and
OF course, that makes the loss sure.
Keep good stock and give them the care
the merit, even II prices are low; then
every once in while you will sell beef
for price which will surprise you, or
some neighbor will come. over and want
to buy a young steer OF heller they have
seen in your field, and you will get sum
which will help change your mind about
lack Of profit. With poor stock you may
be certain that no happy surprise will
come your way. nm saa

The political pot seems to be boiling

Arraigned on one side are those repre-
senting Plutocracy and money power the

arranged those without brass collars
around their necks representing the toll
ing masses standing as a wall between
the liberties and welfare OF the great
masses and against the greed encroach-
ments and domination Of the money
power. Whatever the result may be in
twelve months there will be different
political alignments constituting politi-
cal party whose stronghold will be in
the south and west, party that will
ascend to the control of this government,
bury the shadowy spectre Of what is now
called Democratic party. For years it
has only it seems existed on its tradi-
tons for at present it seems incapable Of
formulating united public policy. AS
far the g. o. p, the principles Of which
it was born of preservation Of the union
,and extinction of slavery has been ac-
complished and to day it has no inspira-
ton to lead it to victory but it is to be
hoped we will soon see the fulfllment Of
those seductive and great promises that
waited the Democratic party into the
full control of this government.

THE WATER COLLECTIONS.

The report Of the expert on the water
collections is not pleasant reading. With
the treasury lean, it is amazing that so
large an amount as $4,000 should be al
lowed to run delinquent from water
takers. That there always will be some
delinquency is conceded, but since the
collectors have been prodded up, and
they have brought in something over
$1,000 of the delinquent funds, the ques-
ton naturally arises why was it not done
before? Why was it necessary to have
the Trustees stir things up and go to the
expense of exporting the books, to secure
the city's dues from water-takers. and
takers, too, who were able all along to pay,
not the poor and the unfortunate alone2
Here. we are told by the expert, was
a merchant in prosperous business, who
was allowed to use the city's money for
nearly two years, having delinquency of
some $24O, and yet using water right
along. Does not that merchant ir good
conscience, if not in law, owe the city the
interest on her money of which he has
had the use ofso long? The expert tells US
that there are many of these amounts due
from people who own property and col
lect rents, and are amply able to pay.
Why have they not been compelled to pay
by the simple process of cutting off the
water supply?
One case is cited of lodging-house
that used water but paid no rates for
some nine months. Since it has changed
hands the new proprietor has paid for the
water the house uses. So here was
dead loss that never should have been
lost simply because the law was not en-
forced.
1t is badly executed system under
which it is possible for such things to
take place as arel reported by the water
expert. Collectors should be independ-
ent men, having neither political axes to
grind nor favors to curry, and then
there will be sharp shutting off of the
taps WUSu d Edl0 runs ASlIH4 u6uL luOuLu
or So When the collectors are of the
class who dabble in politics and assume
proprietorship over local municipal pat
ronage. there is very naturally lack of
courage TO do duty.
It is bad that people should be COM
PEELED to pay for the use of the element
water; it ought to be as free as that other
element, air. But SO long as we build
cities and it costs money to bring in water
supplies for them. it will be necessary for
some one to foot the bills. As long as
that is essential, let the law be enforced.
That past administrations have failed TO
do so is not at all ereditable to the city.
Especially is it discreditable that the
largest delinquent sums are due from
men best able to pay promptly.
The record-union., 1893-10-24
A CRITICAL MoMrNT.

It is perfectly evident to whoever is at
all informed upon the local political situ-
alton that the real contest in the approach
ing election is to center upon the compo-
sition of the new Board of Trustees. 1t
would be worth pretty fortune for any
one, or to any ring, to be able to name
the next board, or to name six of them,
even to have the privilege of specifying
what five of the men are to serve upon
the body.
1t is conceded that the most difficult of
all government is that OF municipality;
that the opportunities for corruption and
fraud are infinitely greater in municipal
than in either State or National Govern
ment. The temptations are more and
greater and covering of wrong doing is
easier 1t follows that to own city gov
ernment is better than to own a gold
mine; to be able to boss it over a Board
of Trustees is better than to be Governor
of a State or ruler over many people.
1t is no wonder, then, that the cunning
element in the political crowd struggles
for majority in the coming board, and,
if possible, for six votes out of the nine,
that the veto of a stubborn Mayor may be
overridden when that individual dares to
plant himself between the people and
those who have ambition to lead the mu-
nicipal heifsr that their underlings pro-
