HE SIZES UP THE SITUATION.

Pendleton Democrat; The miners
strike is about over This is well both
for the miners and operators. Strikes
have never been beneficial TO the miners,
but on the contrary they have been
worsted nearly every time. One man,
or number of men have the perfect
right to stop work if they choose, but
this does not give them the right to use
force in keeping other men from work or
to destroy property. As soon as they
become violators and law breakers they
lose the sympathy of the whole people,
and it is right they should, otherwise
anarchy would reign all over this coun,
try. This is II lesson that layless miners
and others would do well to learn.

AFTER MANUFACTURES.

Winchester Democrat: That Win.
chester possesses superior advantages for
manufacturing upon large scale no one
can deny. Our climate is healthful, our
water supply excellent and our railroad
facilities unsurpassed. What is the mat
ter that we have no manufactures beyond
Touring and planning mills. Our people
are accustomed to two kinds of invest
ment, land and bank stocks, and it seems
impossible to divert them from these
ruts. AT present we admit there is not
much encouragement in this line. But
building materials and machinery are so
cheap that it would pay to get ready for
the good time coming. We are going to
harp on this string until somebody tries
his luck.

THEY ARE A HINDRANCE.

Louisville Post: The cause of labor is
not helped, it is hindered by Kelly and
by Coxey. This is free country con-
trolled by free men. Every cause must
address itself to the intelligence, not to
the fears, of our citizens. The Kelly
movement has been unlawful in many
instances foolish at all times, and utterly
without effect on public opinion, except
to arouse it to a sense of danger and to
the necessity of checking lawlessness.

8 o'clock Sunday evening and now

Monday morning. That he was Il
victim of the bastard feinds Of the
red flag of anarchy there can be
no doubt, though Gonzalv Santos,
the young Italian who assassinated
him, was unknown to either project
or police. President Carnot was
attending the international eXhibi-

to the theater, where a gala per-

honor, when the assassin jumped
into his carriage and dealt him his
death wound. He was arrested at

HAZEL GREEN, KY:
THURSDAY, June %, 1894.

The murder of George Alexander
by English Anderson, in Montgom-
cry county on Saturday evening
last was one of the most horribly
cold blooded that we ever read of
and shows to what extent an un-
comfortable temper and overbear-
ing disposition will lead man.
When the news reached this place,
where George Alexander was well
and favorably known, the univer-
sal sentiment expressed is best told
in this one term anderson should
have been hung without judge or
jury or loss of time" And, taking
the evidence before the coroner's
jury, which we reproduce elsewhere,
it does look as if he should have
been summarily swung off. But
the general opinion is that being
rich and of influential family, he
will escape the punishment his
dastardly deed so richly deserves.
Money, influence nor anything else
should save him from the hang
mans halter, ard if the people of
Montgomery county don't speedily
mete out the measure of justice
that her murderers are so richly
entitled to she will soon have a
very unsavory name abroad. In
deed, Bloody Breathitt," long
since reformed and redeemed, will
be succeeded by "Murderous Mont
gomery." Such, at least, is the
view the mountain people express.

against the Democratic ticket the one of
this good year, 1894, promises to be the

Populist- Democratic kickers has less
life, less git up and less aggressiveness
than any ticket heretofore put up by
any party in the county.

Under the old law wife could convey
her real property for the payment of her
husbands debts. This is precluded by
the new act. While placed practically
on the same footing of single woman
she is prohibited from becoming surety
for her husband or any other person
unless property has been conveyed to her
for that express purpose.

the new law the wife must both abandon

felt her rights, and if the husband is
guilty of similar acts he likewise forfeits
all interests in her property.

Under the old law married woman,
unless she had separate estate, could
make no will except under power con-
ferred upon her by will or deed. BY the
legislature which met Immediately after
the adoption of the new constitution the
wife, for the first time in Kentucky, was
empowered to make will disposing Of
her reality. To this the last legislature
added the power to will her personality,
so that now she is exactly on footing
with her husband in the matter.

The only consideration that the hus-
band is given by the new act is that in
all agreements of his wife to sell real
estate his signature to the agreement is
required. This is the only case in which
the husband is given a voice in his wife's
contracts. Both parties have to sign and
acknowledge deeds conveying real estate
as heretofore.

Under the old law marriage was equiv
alent to a purchase by the husband of
all personal property not settled on her
as her separate estate. BY separate
estate is meant a conveyance to the wife
by will or deed some other form expressly
prohibiting the husband from participa-
ting in or control of the property. BY
the new law all that woman had before
marriage or acquires afterward is made
her separate estate, her husband having
no control over it and his creditors being
barred from subjecting it to their claims.

Under the old law the husband became
the absolute owner at her death of all
the wife's personality which he had not
by an exercise of his right of ownership
reduced to possession; and of all her
chattles real, which means her estate in
lands less than life estate Under the
new law he has no right to reduce her
personality to possession during her life,
and at her death he becomes the owner
of only one-half after the payment of her
debts. Under the old law the wife, if
there were no children, took half of the
husbands property after the payment of
his debts on his death if there was no
will. If there were children of the mar.
riage she took one.third. BY will she
could be cut out of any interest in the
personality, but under the new law she
takes half interest in his personality,
regardless of will or children. He has
the same interest in her personality,
both being on equal footing in the mat
ter.-Winchester Democrat.

HUSBAND AND WIFE BILL.

The Present Law Contrasted with the
Old One.
The following contrast of the relative
rights of husband and wife under the
old and new law on the subject presents
the matter in clear light:
1t used to be the saying that man in
marrying woman married her property
and her debts, but it doesn't go now, for
he marries neither.
%
Under the old law during the life of
the wife the husband could rent out her
property and collect the rents. BY the
new law he is prevented from doing this.
Under the old law the wife had no
personal estate, this all going to the hus-
band Now she retains and has the
legal right to dispose of it without con-
sidering him at all in the matter.
