everything was so good, where / was

banquet. if / did not know of the alb

travelling man told me about meeting
once in Tennessee. This travel

talking to a merchant about selling
him some goods. He and the mer-
chant got into a general conversation,
and among other things he said to the
merchant: II used TO sell goods in

said: MY friend, did you say you had

WHO IS OWENS2

The young Kentuckian who is to stand
against that standard of morals which
Phil Thompson boasted, and which grew,
very largely out of slavery conditions, is
a protege of Henri Watterson, who put
him forward as temporary chair man at
the last Democratic national convention
at Chicago. In that position he proved
an exceptional success. His legislative
experience is confined TO the capital of
Kentucky, but he is campaigner to the
manner born, and the grayhaired old
sinner, who SO brazenly brags and AFFECT
ly confesses, by turns. has only the pres
tige of his name as an advantage in a
contest in which the entire community
is interested. Being country of "cof-
fee and pistols for two" the fight will
not lack dramatic effects, even if an end
of tragedy be wanting.

a politician but man of recognized
standing as an expert III mental diseases,
physician of eminence and of
acknowledged superior ability as a
superintendent. But his politics were
Republican, and the spirit or unworthy
greed begotten of such men as Artz,

forced him from his place and the Pop
McCasey was duly appointed and in
stalled. McCasey seems TO be small
nobody, utterly incompetent and unfit
for such responsibility, so utterly so
that the Pop board are being forced into
firing him without the benefit or chances
of an investigation. The board have
discovered not only incompetency, but
such rottenness that a scandal will be
hard 10 suppress, which is said to be of a
fearfully immoral nature. This same
board had been putting IN weeks time
of late investigating the head of another
state charitable institution. All of these
wrongs and expenses growing out of
blind rartisanship and INCOMPETENCE
will cease with the RELOCATION of the
crew now holding sway at the capitol of
the state next January.
