Republican Kentucky.

Good Lord. and has IL come 10 this?
Are all the landslides dumped
Upon us n a cataclysm.
Or have we been muRwumped?
Our eager eyes sweep round and round
Tne VIDE nor-.oiis scope,
But not a ray OF light appears
To cheer us with It's hope.
The heavens are hung with black today.
Our record - a wreck.
The Grand old Commonwealth. gadzooks
Has got IL in the neck.
Deep In the earth a scraping sound
Is heard TO r.p and rave,
And well we know Old Hickory
Is turning In his grave.
The grand traditions OF our past,
The long continuous line
OF Democratic regnancy
Now with the woodbne Irvine.
The mudsllis we have sat upon
And fed with crust and bone
Have r.sen Unexpectedly
And abb the Bourbon throne.
They've got the sceptre In their hands.
The Blu Grass robes they wear,
while on our ruins we must st
And paw the empty ar.
The Peavine and the Pennyrile.
The Redhrnsh and the rest,
Laugh us TO acorn and jeering say:
Come on. Pull down your vest"
We. We. the natural rulers who
Are to the purple born.
Alas, alas, that we should live
This triumph TO adorn.
Republican Kentucky, What
Miscegenation's here,
OF words no man has ever heard.
Or thought could be brought near
No human eye can pierce the ven,
No human tongue can tell,
Why with a past so glorious,
Kentucky slipped and fell.
This much alone we know and this
May keep our hearts stu warm:

So gayly carpeted?

Such footing were too fine

Each tree invites the sun.

So decks her dusty ways.

Hall Game visits Holmes.

II. II. Holmes, the convicted murderer,

At Moyamensing prison. 1t was Hall
Salne. the novelist. Mr.. Game met at O.
reception here a well known Judge, 20
whom he happened 10 mention his in
crest in criminals.
You should go out TO Moyamensing
and see Holmes, then" SAT- the judge.
He Is one Of the most remarkable Grim
nails Of the age"
The author became much interested
and decided to see Holmes, although he
aad only a short time in the city. He
went TO the Jail, a admitted and
.alked to Holmes for a few minutes.
This murderer was much affected, and
ais emotion 50 affected Mr.. Game as TO
render a continuance OF the converse
ton painful 10 both. The novelist left
hastily. Holmes had been reading two
)f Mr.. Gaines novels and was much i'm
pressed by them.

Jury club entertainment, where he lee
tured last night about his visit 70 the
murderer. Mr.. Game said:

we had talked a little the tears came 10
his eyes and his voice choked. That was
too much for me. and broke down and
had to leave. Understand me, l am not

Farm OMnership.

1t does not require, says a western pa
per, the compilation of figures to show
that there is a change gradually working
itself through the ownership of farm
lands. 1t is a fact open to general OBJ
servation that the farms of the country
are gradually dropping into the hands Of
tenants, and in our opinion it is that
much worse for the country. No one
will dispute that the farmer has many
advantages in working land owned by
While the land is owned by another. One
OF the leading causes to be assigned for
this state of things is the fact of a de-
sire to oVerreach ones self in the possess
sion of lands. To make use Of a signifi-
cant western expression, il comes of bit
ing off more than one can "chaw." We
have long advocated as the best policy
Tor farmers to pursue in this matter that
OF cutting down their possessions in
lands rather than that of extending them
this order of things it will be some time
before the sheriff closes him out. In the
course of the next ten years we look for
stronger pressure than ever before
brought TO bear upon this matter of re-
duCing the size of the farm. new style
vogue that win necessitate it. The OK
tensions of irrigation systems and the
growth and expansion of the subsOiling
idea are destined to lead in the direction
of intensive farming in the west. We are
aware that it used TO be fashionable to
spread ones self out over a large area in
his farming operations with a view of
reducing the cost Of production of crops.
This day has passed. Things have chang
ed and if the farmer of to-day expects TO
continue to own his own land he must
give more attention to each Individual
acre and see that it does its share.
