A Good Showing

Our efficient City Attorney II. f..
Ninson has furnished US some facts
aud figures which show "a very sat
istactory state Of affairs in the con-
duet OF the Police Court
during the year just ended PIG cas-
es were tried +; 6 remain Of the dock
ct - We're dismissed by the court I;
II were dismissed on motion of the
City Attorney. In i3 cases the de-
PENDANTS were found potguilty. In
$50 cases the Judgments embraced
fines, and in 6 instances they were
for costs only. The fines inflicted
during the year amounted TO
SSIG.2i.
1t is pleasing to know that in ev
cry month save one during the past
yeal the fines collected more than
paid the running expenses Of the
town. These figures show that ouI
officers have been prompt TO collect
and pay into the treasury, and that
the Police Judge and, usually the
jurics, have been prompt to furn
ish.

TUESDAY was a proud day for the
Republicans of Kentucky as on that day
they inaugurated their first Governor
and they made it the greatest Inaugural
ton in the history of the state.
Republicans congregated in Frankfort
from all parts of the state and made a
procession two miles long.
While the parade was in motion cannon
doomed from Fort hill, north of the city.
When the incoming and tiring Governors
reached the capitol grounds and Gov.
Bradley marched up to the walk leading
to the State House steps, cheer went up
from Republican throats that was as en-
thusiastic and noisy as the whole situa-
ton, and a novel one for, "Old Kaintuck. "
When the two Governors stepped to the
platform which had been erected i'll front
OF the capitol for the exercises of the day,
they looked into the faces of a crowd the
like Of which was never before seen in
Frankfort. The mass of heads could
have been walked upon throughout the
entire distance across the plaza of the
street. They were nearly all Republi-
cans.

The wool growers, representing one OF
the most important agricultural interests
of the country, are among the first to ap-
peal to congress for relief from the rum
our effects of the free trade policy em-
bodied in the Wilson tariff. The states
of Pennsylvania, Ohio and West Virginia
are ably represented in the movement
for restoration of the duties imposed on
foreign wool by the tariff of 1890. Inc
effects of the placing of wool on the 1ree
list have been carefully collected by the
National Association of Wool Growers
and they are of character to induce
favorable action on the part of congress.
What IS asked now is the passage OF a
Joint resolution restoring the rates OF the
Mckinley law on wool and woolens.
Under those rates an annual revenue OF
M2, ,ooo, 600 had gone into the treasury,
while placing wool on the free list has
thus far caused loss of $Ioo, 100000 to
the wool growers.
