Reputation in Kentucky.
chicago journal.


Local reputation Is the cause Of
small war in Muhlenberg county
in the State Of kentucky. The
Elizabethtown and Paducah Rail
road, which has since become trans
formed into the Newport News and
Mississippi Valley, was originally
built by the aid Of local subscrip'
tons. Muhleuberg county voted an
issue of bonds to promote the
enterprise. The county refused to
pay them when they fell due, and
interest has been running for some
thirty years, until the amount due
on the bonds is said to be equal to
one-third of the taxable wealth Of
the county. The Federal courts
have sustained the validity of the
bonds, aud the United States Mar
shall has set out with large posse
to collect the amount by levyIng n
the L.operty Of the citizens of
Muhlenberg county.
The citizens are prepared to re.
sist, and violence is feared. The
idea of States rights is no doubt
indirectly involved in the con
troversy, for a conflict between the
decisions Of the Federal and State
courts regarding the validity of
municipal bonds is no new thing.
Even in Illinois there is at least one
case where the Supreme Court of
the State has held bonds to be iu-
valid after the United States Supreme
Court had sustained them, with the
result that the bonds held by citi-
zens of Illinois could not be en-
forced while those held outside OF
the State were collected.
Whether a similar contest OF
jurisdiction existsiu Kentucky does
not appear, but the people south Of
the Ohio have always naturally been
jealous of the interposition of the
Federal courts IL their local affairs
even when those counts INTERVIEWED
to prevent dlahonorable repudia
ton of lawful obligations. The
Unlled States Marshal has the army
of the United States at his back II

Faraday crCSs-eXamined the witnesses
very pertinently Among other ques-
tions he asked how the rate Of flow Of
air currents was measured,
An Inspector, in repl' took pinch
of gunpowder from a box, as if it wee
smut. aud let it fall through the flame
of a candle. His companion, witls
watch noted the time the smoke took
to travel n certain distance.
The method satisfied Faraday. but
he remarked upon the careless hand

was kept.
"In bag, tightly tied, was the re
ply.

THE state Of Michigan restores
the death penalty by hanging-for
murder but declares that no one
must be sentenced to death by "cir-

kind Of evidence plays large part
in conyicting every criminal. The

are those most careful to hide all

Prof. Harrington, chief of the
Weather Bureau, seems TO have
been in striking distance Of the
truth when he said that the attack
which led to the recent investigation
OF the Weather Bureau was the
beginning Of a movement to put
the bureau back under military rule,
if one may Judge from the report
of Assistant Attorney General
Colby, who conducted the invesu.
cation, which was made to Secretary
Morton last week. In view Of the
evidence taken at the investigation
this report is considered a remark
able one, and while it does not in so
many words recommend that the
Secretary of Agriculture ask for the
detail Of an army officer to take
charge of the bureau, it does so
indirectly. At least that is the con
struction which nine out of ten men
with whom your correspondent has
talked upon the subject put upon it.
The end of this business is not yet
in sight. Prof. Harrington feels
that the report wrongs him and he
is preparing to strike back
