his former report by striking ST from
the report of December, 1892, and
$103 from the report of June, 1896,
errors in addition and adding $24.72
for amount not included in his for
mer report. This makes the amount
due the state June 30, 1895, $S71.4S
instead of $952.72.
These omissions consist of fees re.
ceived aud surveys filed and should
have been reported and accounted for
as stated in his report.
He says: "I am fully convinced
that Judge Swango intended report.
ing and accounting for these
amounts"
Register Swango also fled a state
ment with the auditor, admitting the
deficiency of $871, and claiming il
was due to the law increasing the fee
for land patents over ten acres from
$3.50 to SIS, many claimants having
remitted only the former amount un.
der misapprehension. He says he
filed the claims and wrote to the
claimants to remit the balance, but
many of the accounts have not beer
collected.

THE EAGLE SCREAMS.
GROVER TWISTS THE
LIONS TAIL.

the Salisbury correspondence to con-
gress has been the leading topic of
discussion to day, and the universal
opinion of the leading men of all par
ties is that it is very commendable
document. It's firm tone satisfies
even the most ardent jingoist.
The London papers, especially the
News, are inclined to view the matter
from humorous standpoint, and that
particular publication editorially ex-
presses the opinion that the message
is nothing more nor less than a bluff
on the part of Mr.. Cleveland.
The London Chronicle says the mes
sage will be read with astonishment
by all England, and intimates that it
will be treated with silent contempt.

Lafayette Negro Fined.

Mat Stacker, COL, of Lafayette, was
tried before Judge Breathitt Wednes-
day on a charge of shooting and
wounding Elmo Black, also colored
The difficulty occurred several months
ago and full account of the affair
appeared in the KENTUcKIAN at the
time. Stacker shot at Black five
times, but only two balls took effect
and not much harm was done. The
jury in the case failed to agree and
the matter was submitted to the
Judge, who assessed a fine of $10U
and costs against Stacker.

Here's Richness as Wen as News.

Gov. Bradley has appointed Wesley
K. Cardwell, of Harrodsburg, as
Steward of the Eastern Kentucky
Lunatic Asylum, at Lexington, and
the new appointee will at once as
sumo the duties of the position. Mr.
Cardwell took great interest in the
campaign and election of Mr.. Brad
ley, and was a hard worker in his
camp and liberal contributor to his
campaign fund. 1t was generally
understood at the time of the election
that Mr.. Cardwell could have any
gift from the new Governor, and
when it was announced that Mr..
Cardwell desired to be steward at the
Lexington asylum no one else offered
for the place.
It is said that Mr.. Cardwell had an
idea that the stewardship of the asy-
lum was worth about $1,000 per year,
and that when he learned the pay was
but 81 200, he was disposed to with
draw his application. Before he
could put this intention in effect he
made the discovery that the perquis.
ties and incidentals made the Office
we'll worth the having. The salary is
all velvet, for the steward gets board
for himself and his family at the
States expense, and it is said that his
living expenses are reduced to abso-
lutely nothing. If the steward were
disposed to be dishonest he could
easily make his Office a paying one
from rebates from merchants on goods
bought for the State.
Mr.. Cardwell is a widcwer, who is
we'll off in the goods of the world,
1t is said he will marry handsome
Harrodsburg widow and take her to

The Klahm Club met with the
Misses Rust on South Main Tuesday
Eve, at o'clock. 1t was very quiet
and enjoyable meeting Besides the
regular members, Misses Georgia and
Marie Flack were present as guests.
Under the head of good of the order,
Mr.. M. Howell Tandy in his modest
and reserved manner informed the
club, that in the near future, it would
be pleasure for him to be accorded
the 'destangue" honor of entertain
ing the club with dead swell affair"
His invitation was unanimously ac-
cepted and a committee of three con-
sisting of Misses Radford, Rust and
Mr.. Tom Underwood was appointed
to draft suitable sentences expressive
of the Clubs delight to be with Mr..
Tandy at such time and place as he
may designate. One of the fairest of
the "Klahms," was heard to remark,
that Mr.. Tandy's liberality was "~aly
excelled by his handsome contour
and perennial smile. This young
lady no doubt will wear flowers if
Mr.. Tandy can secure her name. The
most enjoyable pun of the season on
the "phases of the moon" was render
ed by Mr.. A. Buckner Anderson,
which received encores from all. The
repast which the hostesses served was
most palatable and thoroughly en-
joyed, as it consisted of delicacies fit
for the gods to feed on. Those pres

WASHINGTON, Dec. Is. - Senator
Chandler (Rep. N. H. to-day intro
duced bill to strengthen the mill
tary armament" 1t directs the Presi-
dent to strengthen the military force
of the United States by adding L.
100000 infantry rifles, 1000 guns for
field artillery, and not exceeding s.,
600 guns for fortification.
The sum of one hundred million is
made Immediately available for the

WASHINGTON, Dec. Ex-senator Hill
offered resolution to repeal the dis
abilities on Confederate soldiers, and
other Senators offered resolutions to
provide for the national defense.
Although there is no where a sug-
gestion of any abatement of our
claims and indeed it is generally rec
ognized that by announcing his de-
termination to hold Great Britain
outside of the boundary to be defined
by our own commission, the Presi-
dent has left no avenue for retreat;
it is still confidently believed here
that the difficulty can and will be
settled .peaceably and with honor to
all parties concerned. This belief is
based upon the expectation that
Great Britain, as Lord Salisbury has
indicated in his last note, will re-es-
tablish diplomatic relations with
Venezuela. AS the revolution in that
country has been quelled and the in,
ternational peace Lord Salisbury de,
manded as resumption with Vene.
zuela, and he will. treat the subject il
is believed, and as he practically
promises in his note, in a more com,
placent spirit than the British Gov,
ernment has exhibited heretofore in
the negotiations and thus speedily
reach an arrangement satisfactory to
Great Britain and Venezuela, and so
as natural result, acceptable to the
United States.
One source of present danger
which gives some apprehension t.
the element that looks for a peaceful
solution of the problem lies with tn,
Venezuelans themselves, as It is fear
ed that, carried away by the enthus
iasm they may be led to attack tn
British outposts of the Uruan.

GEORGE

Everywhere through the width and
breadth Of this country, from the Allan
tic ocean to the Pacific, and from Mani
toba to the Gulf of Mexico, was waving
the Stars and Stripes and everybody
was celebrating the 22d of February, the
birthday OF George Washington, the first
president OF our United States OF Amer
ica-the Father of our country.
Ii we look back upon the life of George
Washington from his first step to his
last we see it was more through his end
less bravery, his entire sincerity and love
for country and humanity that made
him great as a soldier and as a states
man more than genius. If we follow up
the career OF Washington we see him
inspired with helove offreedom Ito save
this country from the yoke OF George,
the Third. OF England, and to make this
country the freest and best OF any land.
Not alone to make this for his own
countrvmen q protection and q shelter.
but Tor all the down-trodden of Euraoean
nations to come here and make them
selves a home; to enjoy the liberty OF the
soil. and freedom of conscience, proyi-
ding they live and act accordldg to our
laws and constitution. For d moment
we will look at the statute of George
Washington, which stands in u mem
ory, not dead but alive. We admire
him today as our forefathers did a hun
dred years ago, with the profoundest
admiration. We see him today, az they
saw him at that time, brave as a lion.
We see him in the battle of Bunker Hill.
Valley Forge; we see him in the battle of
Prinston, breaking the rank and file OF
the British. We see him ia the cold Of
winter; in the heat Of summer; with that
sturdy force to gain, not alone for HIM
sell but for all, what is called liberty.
We see him in peace as a loving father.
a loving husband; friendly and GENIAL
with all whom he came in contact with.
In war he strove to gain or conquer lib
erty; IN peace he strove to preserve it.
Not alone did he try it but he done it.

FREQ DOUGLAS.

The nation today is mourning, and
particularly that portion of the people
who for wears, under the name of free
government, have been under the yoke
Of bondage, have surely lost one Of their
best friends, who stood by them IN their
hardest hour of trial, and whose pecu-
liar effort was the of the emancl-
patton of q down-trodden race from
that OF slavery, and they have been
mauec citizens OF d great enlightened ma.
ton. This great man; this hero and de-
lender OF human rights, was Fred Doug
las, who is now reposing in sweet stun.
Der, taken away from all sorrow and
are of this life. Mr.. Douglas, alive, was
born OF colored parents aud spent part
OF his life IN slavery; but later, IN the
advancement OF years, he deserted his
master and took a refuge on free soil.
Here. particularly through seli-training,
he gained tor himself a knowledge that
made him afterwards famousas a writer
and orator. This gift he used to the
greatest advantage as a deliverer OF his
down-trodden countrymen. The man
who stood with this famous defender OF
human rights was the great and immor-
tai Abraham Lincoln. BoSh these men
carry an immortal crown that is called
u crown OF love, that signifies true sin
certify and love for the people.
Around the grave of the hero We are singing,
And sing now che mourning song.
This voice to the nations ear is ringing
To him who III his grave is sweetly sleeping
But SO many hearts of sorrow and weeping.
In him a friend in need
Is surely y friend in deed.

FRIDAY, MARCH 1. 1896.
Cooperation as Corpora.
tiOm and Naturalization.
We find that many people il
Pennington county and surround
ing country do not understand the
difference in business methods be.
tween a cooperative enterprise
and those engaged in by individual
persons, firms and ordinary cor
%porat1ons.
One radical difference is that In
q cooperative organization the
major portion of the profits are
divided. pro rata, among the pur-
chasers, according to the amount
Of their purchases, interest only
being paid on the capital stock
the salaries of employees. rent, fuel
lights, ETC., are deducted from total
profits, and q small contingent
fund laid aside for emergencies,
and the balance goes to the custo-
mers Of the business, if engaged
in commerce, and generally among
operatives in manufacturing estab-
lishments.
This makes . community of in
terests among all the patrons Of an
enterprise, if engaged in mercan-
tile pursuits, and they are all So
llcltors for trade, as by increasing
the volume of business the rate Of
expense is lessened and the rebates
are greater; and in manufactures
there IS an incentive to produce ali
article of a high degree Of perfec-
ton. and to cooperate With super
lntendenss in filling large orders
on short notice. Also most Of the
customers, being part owners in
the store and it's profits, are willing
to adopt improved methods in pur-
chasing goods, thereby decreasing
the number Of statesmen and other
employees.
Again. prices are uuvarying. al
child can bny an article Just as
cheap as its parersts; and mana
gers. statesmen, ETC., are not en-
rlched by charging exorbitant
prices. and are strickly prohibited
from practicing deceitful methods
upon customers. While losses
from defaulting employees arc re-
duced to the minimum, as every
employee handling money or valu-
able commodities is required to
give Q bond to the com PAW For
the faithful discharge Of his duties.
In the corporation and indiyid-
ual methods Of business, the GUS
TONERS Of sores ,etc., and worLmen
in factories generally have no
share n the profits Of business.
but the entire amoant Of profits

atoms. The members Of q firm.
