KENTUCKY POLITICS.
Hon. Charles Bronston Considers Senator
 Tlaekburn's Chances Excellent.

Hon. Charles J. Bronston of Lexington, a membsr-elect of the state senate for the Lexington district is Senator Black burns principal lieutenant, and will prob ably have direct charge of the senator's campaign at Frankfort. He thinks MT. Blackburn is sure of the democratic cau- GUS nomination, and that his election will follow, or that no senator will be elected until the succeeding legislature names the man. He says the unseating by the republicans of Kaufman of Lexington will be simply an outrage, as Wood Dun lap has absolutely no just claim upon the seat or good grounds for the contest he has made. If Kaufman is unseated it will be because a rabid partisanship de- in order that republican senator may be elected. MT. Bronston will be among the foremost men in the senate of the state. He has had experience in politics and in parliamentary practices and is up to every move in every game. He served as a member of the constitutional convention. and has been commonwealth attorney in his circuit for many years From now until the legislature meets, in less than two weeks. the politics of the state will be growing more and more in
 terestng. The indications are that the coming session of the legislature will be about the liveliest the state will have wit messed for years. and politicians and citi- zens generally will be on the watch for developments from day to day. When the democrats nominate their candidate and the republicans name theirs the con- test will have just started, for the cleo
 ton will follow, and as the legisla ture now stands neither side will be able to elect it's man. There will likely be sew eral preliminary fights in the house of great interest. The republicans propose to adopt Reeds rules. with some modi- fications and changes that will permit them to unseat a democrat or two for the purpose of getting a majority on joint ballot. and this attempt will be bitterly resised by the large democratic minority, and the democrats will have the experience in legislation and parliament tary practice on their side.

Can't Avoid tho Fact.

This significant paragraph appears in the Montgomery Postofi1ce Tuesday morning:
 "The Johnston men are waiting for Christmas gift from Hon. Dick Clarke" remarks the Mobile Register. Dread ing'' would better express their attitude. Perhaps the Register may relieve their state of mind by New Year anyhow"
 So it was agreed that Mr C1arke's home postoffice organ is to have the exquisite pleasure of announcing MT. Clarke's can didacy and not the Montgomery personal grievance postoffice organ. The Journal had reason to believe this was the pro- gramme agreed upon at the recent con- ference of MT. Clarke's friends in this city. It was not deemed advisable for the Montgomery Postoffice to make the announcement There is pretty good political sense in this programme. But MT. Clarke can't avoid the fact, plain, pointed and undeniable. that the Mont gomery Postoffice, the remnant of Ran dolphism in this county, which is odious to all the people in the state, is respen- sble for his candidacy, no matter who has the special privilege of making his formal announcement.-Mon Journal

STAND UP TO THE RACK.

Now that the furry Is over and the war excitement has died down, we find a dis position among the many who at first in- dorsed the presidents Venezuela mes sage to question whether he should have declared that the boundary must be fixed by a United States commission. Some of the leading northern and eastern papers take the side of Great Britain, and the old tory spirit is creeping out In various unexpected quarters. The money brokers, who look to England for loans, and the Anglomaniaes, who turn up their trousers when it rains in London, are thoroughly disgusted at this nasty Amer ican habit of filibustering, by love, don't you knowi Notwithstanding, the mass of the people are with the president and will stick to him to the last ditch on this question. They may not agree with him on currency questions. but they are loy- al to the views of his Venezuela message.
 The New York Sun voices the senti- ment of the great masses of the northern states. It says:
 'The British government having re- fused to submit the whole of the Vene- zuela boundary question to ar- bitration. It is in high de- gree eApeulenI I0dI we SnOuIQ dS- certain in definite, official way, whether there is so strong prima facie case for the claim of Venezuela as will justify us in the eyes of posterity. and of those Flu ropean nations whose respect and friend ship we desire, in taking final and de- eisive step. the consequences of which none can fathom. If in the course of the historical and legal inquiry undertaken, no evidence sustaining the British claim shall be forthcoming from British Guiana or Great Britain, it will not be the fault of the commission, should it's report seem open to the charge of being based upon ex parte evidence. We shall have done what we could to prove to the world that we have not wantonly sought a quarrel with Great Britain, or reckless ly assumed the validity of title which would not bear the scrutiny of a judicial tribunal. We do not, of course expect the British foreign office to accept as conclusive decision rendered on ex parte testimony. On the contrary, it will be at liberty to interrupt ae any mo- ment an inquiry undertaken by us in the fulfllment of our duty and in the inter- ests. of justice. and to supersede the com mission. by assenting to our request that the whole boundary controversy between Venezuela and British Guiana shall be referred to arbitrators. Such a refer ence was agreed to by Lord Granville in June, 1885, and none can doubt that it would meet with the approval of Mr. Gladstone, were he now at the head of the British government. Should Lord Salisbury, however, persist in his rejec- tion of arbitration, and should the com mission recommended by MT. Cleveland report that on all evidence submitted or obtainable that Venezuela has a clear title to great tract of territory forcibly withheld by Great Britain, the people of the United States, without distinction of section or of party will haa rtilv c1IcfoiY, the president in defending the rights of an American republic against foreign ag- eression, and in repe1ling force by force"

Eight days ago Gen. Antonio Maceo and l fought the enemy, who were very nu- merous and consisting of infantry, cav- airy and artillery. The arms of the re- public were victorious. We advance slowly, but with firm and sure step. The Spaniards are in need of everything-soI- diers, money, and of leaders who have faith and courage.
 "lf Cuban valor and resolution are not wanting; if their virtues and revolution- ary qualities do not weaken in the hearts of Cuba's children, l think that in six months everything will be settled.
 That no sugar crop be made, that the source from which the enemy still dreams to obtain money be destroyed, is our programme. We should not fear the complaints of superficial and inflexible opinions
 What we must do is to triumph, and the most efficacious and the most de- eided means must be employed, although they may appear harsh. We must con- quer, and whatever means we use, if we obtain our glorious end, will always be the best.
 "I have always thought that we must not be sanguinary, but we must be radi- cal revolutionists. You can rest assured that Cuba will achieve her independence. Your true friend, M. GOMEZ" -

RUSSIA.

Russia is all right She has no inter- ests in the West Indies or in the Ameri- can continent, and she can see things clearly A dispatch from Moscow says
 "The entire Russian press discusses the chances of a conflict between Eng land and America with ardor approach ing enthusiasm and in tone of frank hostility to England. The Vienna cor respondent of the Standard quotes a jour nalist who had an interview in Paris with pr. Raimundo Palmyro -ex-presi- dent of Venezuela, in which he declares that neither Venezuela nor the United States could yield, and that the question could only be settled by arbitration; but that it was well known both in Venezuela and the United States that there would be no war. All the morning papers have editorials this morning proclaiming sentiment of peace and good will towards Venezuela and America. Various En- glish religious bodies have cabled to their brethren in America their sympathy with their efforts for peace"

Bury Intolerance and Strife.

It seems to us that the Montgomery Ad-
 vertiser and the Mobile Register. both
 pap" papers, would not consent to SUD-
 port Captain Johnston for governor
 should he recant and a bjure his political
 views and pledge himself to kiss the un-
 washed foot of their political saint. Pres
 ident Cleveland. There are many Iowa
 ble traits in the character of President
 Cleveland, but in his overbearing dog
 matism we do not know whether he is
 initiating the Advertiser and the Reg
 ister or whether they are mimicking him.
 This is the meaneSt thing we have ever
 said of our esteemed president, but it
 does not seem that MT. Cleveland has mo use for a democrat who presumes to
 differ with him-and our ''esteemed'' sconfreres above named would rather see the democratic party go to sheol with a E,man or men of their selecting than to see the party harmonized and the white peo- ple of Alabama unified under the leader |iship of lifelong democrats who differ with them and the president on some
 minor detail of party financial policy. when our very last state convention dis tinctly recognized and declared the fact that there are differences of opinion
 among us in matters of detail.' but "all believe in the free coinage of silver when ever it can be done consistently with the maintenance of a. sound and safe cur ,rency." We and all bimetallists maintain the single gold standard, to which our above friends are tending. and actually committed, is neither sound" nor ''safe;'
 that the use of both metals is the stand ard money of the country" The differ ence between the national and state plat forms is not so grave as to justify the ostracism of any true democrat. or to bar him from seeking office at the hand of the party. if he is known to be honest, competent and faithful"
 If we are ever to unite and harmonize l the party we must bury strife and in- | tolerance-Selma Times.

1896. THE STATE HERALD.

 Subscription Price of the Daily Reduced to
 Six (S6) Dollars Per Annum.
 The State Herald management, appre- ciating the very liberal encouragement extended to the paper by the people of Alabama and other states, and especially grateful to the business men of Birming ham for their very liberal support during this season. hereby announces a reduc- tion of the subscription price of the Daily State Herald for 1896 to six ($0 dollars per annum, delivered free by mail or by carrier.
 Thus the State Herald becomes the only daily morning newspaper in Ala bama which meets the demand of mod ern journalism, placing itself in easy reach of every reading man, woman and child in the state.
 This reduction in subscription price does not mean decline in the general excellence of the State Herald It Is the purpose of the management to steadily improve the paper in every department and make it invaluable as a daily visitor to Alabama homes and business offices. In announcing this reduction the State Herald which already enjoys the largest circulation of any newspaper in Alaba- ma confidently expects a large increase in it's number of readers, at home and abroad, because we realize that Ala bamians are an appreciative people, who always respond literally to the invitation of enterprise and progress.
 This reduction in price carries with it the necessity for a strictly cash system in the subscription department. There fore our patrons will be expected to pay monthly, quarterly, semi-annualfy or an- nually in advance, and will not become offended when cut from the list for delin- quency.
 Our rates for 1896 are as follows: Daily State Herald, per month...$ 50 Daily State Herald. per quarter. ..a.. 50 Daily State Herald. per annum..... % Sunday State Herald alone. per an-
 num..... .......... ............. % Weekly State Herald per annum. =. co Remittances can be made by express, postoffice money order or drafts at cur rent rate of exchange. Address,

ECHOES OF THE PRESS.
The Smallest Freak.

Can it be possible that the Montgom- cry Advertiser will not even give it's gracious consent that the State Herald may approve the presidents message re- lating to the Venezuelan boundary? We submit that of all the petty journalism we have ever known, this freak of our Montgomery contemporary is the small est. What wretched stuff it has been dealing forth to its readersi And this is the savior of Alabama democracy that will have none but it's own personal high priests to sit in the party temple, none but it's anointed for governor.--Hunts- vile Argus.

It is said that Senor Estrada Palma, on behalf of the New York Cuban junta, has entered into compact with pr. J. Julio Henna. president of the Porto Rico revolutionary party, whereby both par ties will cooperate in aiding the causes of Cuba and Porto Rico. President Hen na acknowledged that he had been in consultation with President Palma and that steps will at once be taken to assist the people of Porto Rico, who are anx- iously awaiting the signal to arise. With the development of an instruction in Porto Rico, the efforts of the Spanards to put down the war in Cuba will, neces- sarily, be weakened and troops will be sent from the island of Cuba to Porto Rico.

From London says the New York Sun, comes all sorts of idle rumors, some of which connect the names of MT. William Waldorf Astor and Lady Randolph Churchill spinning from thence a web of romance which conducts MT. Astor through a series of parliamentary sue cesses until 1t evolves him into a peer of England and possible prime minister. The silly season having been at an end for several weeks, it is a little surprising how such stories originate, but, with the rumors of war that are now floating about, it is to be hoped that the wise heads of England will occupy themselves with considering the question, which pro voked so much mirth on the stock ex- change last week, as to whether when the British government sent over it's iron clads they would be interfered with by excursion boats"

If the senate democrats and populists will stand together and insist upon at taching free silver coinage bill as an amendment to either the tariff bill or the currency bill of the house. everyb body will have to show their hands. and the proba- bility is that Mir.
