There is going to be at least one
interesting race between this and
the meeting for the next Democrat
lie convention in the nomination OF
State officers, and that is for SUI
oerintendent of Public Instruction.
Major Fowler, of this city, has de-
termined to enter the field, and to
hose that know him best, that
means somebody will have to hus-
lie to win.
He informs us he had not in
tended to make his announcement
this long before the election, but
ne was forced to it by the an
nouncement of his opponents.
Major Fowler was reared in
Eranklin county, he being sent an
orphan to the Kentucky Military
institute at eleven years of age;
ne remained there eleven years as
pupil and teacher, and then ac-
,epted the management of the
3randenburg Academy, in Meade
county. His conduct of the school
vas not only highly successful
nut he gave a strong impetus to
education throughout the county.
lie resigned his position to prac-
ice civil engineering, but after
me year he returned to his first
owe as principal of the Cloverport
Iigh School, Breckenridge county.
where he remained two years.
During all these years he had beer
gradually formulating plan fol
ducating pupils in what he con-
idered the only right way-So!
he teacher and pupil to live to-
ether in little world of their
,wn, where the pupils whole ma
ure, mental, moral, and physical,
.ould be trained all the time.
Davenport did not offer a large
nough field for the experiment,
md he came to this city in the
ummer of 1890, and established
he Mt. Sterling Training School
or boys; at the end of the first
ear he had met with such success
ie changed the name to the Ken
ucky Training School, and two
ears later it was incorporated as
UGH. His success here has been
,henominal; opening with only a
lozen local pupils and one assist
mt teacher, he closed his fourth
rear with nearly one hundred
PUPILS and FIVE teachers, represent
NO five States. When he came
lere it was freely predicted that he
would fail, like several others, who
lad preceded him, but the prophets
rad not seen a real "hustler" in the
school business before, and now
everyone comedies his success.
Major Fowler is in his thirty
sixth year, and is built for a racer
tall, slender, and very active,
With an unlimited capacity for
hard work. He was married to a
Shelby county lady, Miss Annie
Reynolds, in 1881.

With view of saving the hull
of the Kearsarge, if this can be
done, Secretary Herbert called on

ton of the ship at the time of her
final abandonment on Roncador

judgment as to the practicability
of getting her into deep water so
that she may to towed to the Unit

this information for communica-

The Fun of it.

"To make the sale of game illegal
nay SAVIOR of class legislation to many,
ut would such a measure favor the
ich at the expense of the poor? l
all TO see how it would. Such law
would merely prevent people from
eing market shooters, anu in nowise
Interfere with anybody DESTROYS of
eing sportsman. On the contrary.
would encourage true sportsman
hip and actually compel all who shot
ird or beast to be sportsman at least
the matter of the disposal of game.
would also check the destructive
work of a small army of men who
would never think of devoting months
,ach year to the pursuit of wild
.reatures unless they could make
money enough to pay for their time
md labor. It's useless to argue that the
rice of game killed allows many a
,oor man to enjoy bit of sport. and
that to close his market would be an
INJUSTICE. A majority of the best
,portsmen, of this country are poor
nen, who scorn to sell hair and feather
# what they kill when the sale is
awful. Shooting is fun, and man
must pay for his fun the world over
Ind not expect to be paid for enjoying
himself. The labOrer who takes a
lay offdoesn't expect to find his wages
waiting at the end of his little ex-
cursion. He has his sport, whatever
it may be, and pays for it like man,
getting full pay for his money in the
rest and amusement he enjoys. Such
a day might be devoted TO shooting or
fishing, IL circumstances allowed, and
the holiday-maker could return with
whatever he had captured and eat it,
or give it away, and the richest man
in the country could do no more.
IL such law is class legislation, every
American male citizen is included in
the class. "--Outiug Records tor March.

SILVER IS GAINING FRIENDS
India and Other British Colonies
Blame EngIand's Enmity to
silver For Much of Their
Present Distress.

SAN Francisco. June 7.-Ex-Secretary
Of State John w. Foster. arrived hero
yesterday from India and China. Speak.
ing of tho trade conditions in the far East
he said 10 an associated press representa-
tive: II found general and widespread
business depression prevailing through
out India, the Strait settlements, aud
wherever the British merchants aud
commerce extended in the East. Tho
cause of it is attributed to the heavy de-
cline in silver, which is the single
currency of tho countries Of Asia; and
this decline, il Is there believed, has been
brought about by the closing Of the India
mints and the repeal of the sherman act.
| have frequently been called upon in
those countries to defend the statesman
like action OF President Cleveland in con-
yening congress and bringing about the
repeal Of the Sherman law, which action
has been regarded in the East as step
toward placing the United States on o
gold basis.
II have occasion to recall the fact that
both political parties in our country arc
strongly committed TO the bimetallic
standard. and tnat for Is years our gov
itb ot't hianihs 81
forts TO bring about an international
agreement to that end, having in that pc
riod originated three conferences with
European nations without success. I have
taken particular pains to point out that
tic action of tho British government and
the London bankers was the chief cause
Of failure to establish bimetallic cur
rency throughout the world. and that tho
main reason for the repeal OF the Sher-
man act was to prevent Great Britain
from forcing the United States into . sill
YER basis with widespread disaster to
American Industries; and that IL the Brit
ish colonies and British commerce in tho
East were suffering from decline in sil-
yer, they had only their own government
and tho London bankers to blame.
"On tho other hand, the decline Of sill
yer has not resulted in q serious detri-
ment to China and Japan. Their export
products were sold for gold and, when
converted into national currency, they
yielded much greater returns than for
merly. whereas the price Of labor and do
mcs,ic commodities have not as yet ma
teriAlly risen"
