Governor Brown has finished his
work concerning all the bills of the
Legislature and yetoes two more bills.
The first one vetoed was an act EMIT
led AN Act to Amend Section 20 of
the Criminal Code of Practice ;"
The ground Of the veto is that tie
operation Of this would unsettle long
line of preccdcnts and also cause great
confusion in practice. The other is an
act relating 10 persons whose lands
have been sold for taxes. Il extended
tie period for redemption one year,
and is vetoed ou account of cOnsli-
tmiOnal defects.

The Present Incumbent" Racket.

While all nature is beginning tc
assume tinge of verdant beauty,
and the birds are singing peans OF
Joy for returning warmth and life
while the careworn business man
gets down his rod and reel and hies
him away to some sequestered>pool
to tempt the willy bass, and betimes
lies idly back and gazes into a
future that borrows its brightness
from his dreamy surroundings {;
while the goodly housewife is max
ing the air melodious with her
cheerful domestic song as she goes
about in her annual search for
household dirt; while the festive
school boy throws his cap in air
and gladly shouts in anticipation
of that near day when he can
divest himself of shoes and stock
ings and go to school with his
pants rolled up and a stone bruise
on each heel; while the sweet little
maidens are as happy as larks be-
cause they can lay aside their win
ter wraps and appear in brighter
colors; while all nature is bright
and smiling and contented-the
one dark spot that obtrudes itself
upon an unwilling public is the
dirge of "The Present Incumbent"
He has been holding an Office, a
public trust, a sugar-teat, a cinch,
and he doesn't want to let go; he
Las become so charmed with his
official work, he has received so
many compliments from his
friends, he has become so accus-
toned to his daily routine, and he
has drawn his unprotected checks
so regularly and so often that he
is lOath to stand aside and give
some other man a chance. He be-
gins his dirge by claiming as his
due an endorsement of his work
not mere wordy epistle Of COM
but a solid confirma-
ton by reelection: 1--WE done the
work in a way it was never done
before; l have increased the re-
venue and l have cut down the ex-
Denses; l have devoted my whole
lime to the work; I-I-I-" etc.
Of course he did that was what he
vas elected for, and that is what
other men just as good as he is eX-
1ected to do when they are elected.
But he wants a reelection as a
guarantee that he has done-what?
His duty! his sworn duty! If he
lad not done his best he would be
guilty Of perjury; if he did not
DeJure himself the people must re-
ward him for being truthful
Come down! Do like other men
'un on your merits! A man has
10 Fight to offer himself as a can
lidate for any Office unless he has
demonstrated his capacity to do
he work efficiently; but, 10! and
behold ! when the office holder
lses this capacity as he should, he
nfers that no other man is capable
# improving on his work. Get
Town off that fence, come out fair
y and squarely and say you like
he office and you would like to

Should Breckenridge, in his owr
defense, add perjury to his manifold
oflense against the laws of God and
man, he would, indeed, complete all
other somber picture of Lucifer fallen
from his high estate to rise no more
He has already bedraggled in mire
the banner of his district and soiled a
fair name of Kentucky chivalry.-

made nine days sensation, but it

his political career would not have
been blighted .-Owensboro Examiner

Joe Blackburn denies that he has
got religion. The denial is unneces-
airy. We would just as soon accuse
Joe Mulhattan of telling the truth or
Billy Breckenridge of being virtuous.
