Our friend Bush, of the Texas" is a
goldbug. lie is bright young man,
thorough, genial gentleman and as hon
est as the days are long He is a self
made man, what he is he owes to his
own exertions. He is a man after our
own heart, and we were once almost
convert of bis to gold monometalli.m.
Mr.. Bush is a great admirer OF Mr.. Car
Isle. lie says he would rather be able
to make his Covington speech than to
have $4,000 in gold. But we say that
Mr.. Bush, plain man as he is, is greater
man to-day than the Secretary, notwith-
standing he can't make the spessa- And
here are our reasons for saying ~. Lsst
week Mr.. Bush and that most genial and
elegant gentleman, Mr.. Ridgely Caycc,
were making their usual roun's on the
Katie "paying Off" The News had a
"litte" coming to him. We stepped
"aboard" the katie" "after it, and just
as we did so, one of the gentlemen said,
"there comes Babbage pay him in silver"
and no quicker said, than here came the
bright and shining silver dollars and into
our pockets they went, right glad we were
to get them. And right here we want to
say, beyond the fear Of successful contra
diction, that Mr.. Bush did a thing that
required man with courage and back
bone to do, and for that is a greater man
to day than Mr.. Carlisle. Why! II Mr..
Carlisle had displayed the same courage
and had had the backbone TO say to
those fellows who presented the treasur-
er notes for redemption and demanded
gold, il he had pushed them out the sill
yer they would have done just like we
did, rolled the silver into their pockets
But Mr.. Carlisle didn't do it, He didn't
try it even. Suppose it had offered the
silver, and suppose further he had been
refused what could they have done? Mr..
Carlisle was the custodian OF the peoples
money. lie had offered to pay the debts
OF the people with the money OF the peo-
pie, just such money as the people had
p aced there to pay their debts. And
the people, the plain every day business
man, farmer, working man, the toilers,
the producers would have stood by him.
Mr.. Carlisle as a representative stood for
the people, Mr. Carlisle as Secretary
stands for Mr.. Cleveland, backed by the
money power of the whole country.

There is more Catarrh in this section
Of the country than all other diseases put
together, and until the last few years
was supposed to be incurable. For a
great many years doctors pronounced it
local disease, aud prescribed local rem
edies, and by constantly failing TO cure
with local treatment, pronounced it in
durable. Science has proven catarrh to
be constitutional disease and therefore
requires constitutional treatment. Halls
Catarrh Cure, manufactured by +. J..
Cheney & Co., Toledo, Ohio, is the only
constitutional cure on the market. 1t is
taken internally in doses from 10 drops
to teaspoonful. 1t acts directly on the
blood and mucous surfaces OF the system.
They offer one hundred dollars for any
case it fails to cure. Send for circulars

Blandiord as a candidate for the Repub-
lican nomination for Representative from
this county appears in this issue OF the

appear at once that Mr.. Blanford will
make strong competitor. So far as the
nomination from his party goes it may
be generally conceded that the tide will
drift in his favor. He has several oppo-

No city in Kentucky has had such an
advertisement as the late convention
gave Owensboro. Every prominent pa
per in the country printed the proceed
ings with flaming headlines. 1t shows
what a live, wide-a wake, aggressive
newspaper man, like Urey Woodson, is
worth to his town. While other men
were loafng around the hotels and on
the street corners "gasing" and doubt
less "cussing" the town he was studying
and planning to bring that convention
with its three or four hundred people to
1t to stay two or three days. Urey Wood
son tho he be "silver crank" is doing
more to-day for the prosperity of his
town and county than any goldbug in it.

The Cut-worms Have Quit The Fields

IToR News Noticing in the columns OF
your paper numerous stories about cut
worms, talked Of everywhere l 60, /
thought that !, too, might contribute
one that equals anything that l have
heard, that was not intended for fun.
The story which wish to relate, have
a reliable witness to. On the 18th. inst.
my brother-in-law and / were hauling in
hay and when we had one load about
half off, we noticed cut-worm on the
floor. We began to look around and in
a short time had killed $50 worms, and
it seemed that we had scarcely begun
the slaughter when we looked about the
floor in the hay-seed We could scarce
ly make step on the floor without hear
ing a worm pop. ! have no doubt, had
~ eeatibusd 10 count We cepld have
counted Hundreds, or perhaps, even
thousands. We supposed that they had
crawled out OF the grass into the edge Of
the hay-stack and we had thus carried
them to the barn loft. Some say that
they have eaten ten-penny nails in two.
Others say that they have eaten their
dogs tails OIL, and some have even said,
that they have eaten their horses tails
off. Now Mr.. Editor they have never
done anything of this kind for us, but
they have played havoc with crops and
it seems that they might be thinking Of
feasting on our horses, as they have al
ready assembled in our barn loft.

Mr.. William Dodsworth, editor of the
Journal Of Commerce and Commercial
Bulletin, New York says, "National bank
currency has proved a complete failure
as a contrivance for satisfying the retail
requirements Of circulation and, within
the last thirteen years, its volume has
fallen from S3G0,00O 600 to 5000 100000,
while the trade of the country has con-
currently increased fully fifty per cent.
Here is proof positive from a man who
is in a position to know that the volume
of money in circulation is not sufficient
TO do the business OF the country. just
what the News claims and everybody
else except the bankers, who claim that
there is more money in circulation now
than ever before. This same editor says,
that restriction Of bank issues and the
attendent curtalment OF bank credits
has unquestionably been the chief in
fluence tending TO create a clamor for
free coinage Of silver which is now dis
turbing confidence from one end Of the
country to the other. And that's the
whole question in a nut shell. 1t Is not
a question OF Sound money" but ques-
ton of mot enough money" to move the
business OF the country. Money is too
dear. The man who borrows money to
carry on any kind of business has to pay
too high for it. It's just like renting a

receive for what you produce on your
farm you come out behind. Interest

Did you ever think OF the diTcrcute in
the nature and the disposition between
the optimlst and the pessimisi ? In the
mind Of the optimist congenialiiy rigns
supreme. lie seems TO love every body
and everybody loves him. His motto is
"Thy will be done aud not mine" In
his opinion every unavoidable accident
is for the best. He will not fall out
with his neighbor who holds a different
view from his own. Ii his comrade
thinks that il the silverites should sue
zee I, this country would b the dumping
ground for all the silver in the world,
and he, himself, believes that their sue
cess is the only salvation for the country,
he is still his friend, or vice versa.
There is no being on earth who enjoys
more liberty than the wife Of an optim-
list husband. He is so liberal in his
views that he allows her to have her own
opinions, and all the privileges she can
possibly ask. lie never objects to look
ing alter the baby, or keeping the chick
ems off the flower beds while bis wife at
tends the Woman Suffrage Meetings He
enjoys the extreme styles in dress in the
same proportion that she does. The
smaller the bonnet the bigger the price
does not upset his temper in the least
and he loves to gaze upon her balloons
she carries OH her shoulders. But the
happiest people in the world are the
optimistic father and mother. This was
fully demonstrate at the Sabbath School
on Childfen's Day. How delighted they
were at the marches, and the little songs
and the little recitals. And be he mar
ried or single, who was in that audience
that did not feel that the darkest clouds
would ever afterward have a silver lin
ing, while that solo and duet were being
rendered, especially the optimists? And
to him, what was more touching than
the recitation Of the little girl who con-
cluded with little cry? And do you
suppose there was man or woman OF
this kind there, that did not wish they
had two little boys who could sing like
