Judge Cooper For Congress.

News comes by way of Jackson,
KY, in a special to the Louisville
Times, that Judge John E. Cooper,
confirms the report that he is also
candidate for the Democratic
nomination for Congress from the
Tenth District" Wouldn't it a
bushel of fun to see Cooper with
the Democratic nomination and Ed
O'Rear on the Republican ticket
for the same office? Many of "Old
COOp's" dearest foes would be al
most glad to see him have the nom
ination if they could be- certain
that O'Rear would be his oppon-
ent. Talk about your Monkey
and Parrot time," why, that wonld
be a "Hog Killing Time"
Keep your linen on boys, there is
a whole lot of fun ahead. OF one
hing rest assured, our next Con-
gresham will be a good and true
Democrat.

fit to the masses of the people, and
would have been nominated for
Judge of the Court of Aappeals in
1892 had he been willing to serve. He
preferred to go to Congress. where he
could be useful in broader and more
active field. He is sober and industri-
Gus, and made himself very useful
whilst in Congress in looking after
the claims of the people of his district
pension and war claims. He is q
great believer in locking and daming
the rivers, and thinks this could be Sc
cured by proper work from some one
experienced as he is in legislation.
Judge Beckner now desires to be
returned to Congress to continue the
work he has already inauGurated dur
ing the ninety DAYS which he spent
there. LII this end Of the district he
is immensely popular with all the
people. While we are not on the
Kentucky side of the river, numbers
Of our patrons are, and we take inter-
est in Kentucky affairs because our
circulation is large there. We do not
know that we ever met gentleman
with whom we have been more favor
ably impressed than with the distin-
guished gentleman whom we are now
discussing. His knowledge is broad
and opinions liberal having been
brought in contact with public affairs
from an early period he is ABLY fitted
for the position to which he aspires.
eff the people of the Tenth Con-
gressional district of Kentucky are
looking for an able, honest and hard
working representative Judge Beck
uer is the one who would honor the
place instead of the place honoring
him, We are Informed that he has
never been beaten and his name would
mean two thousand votes to the ticket.
He is in every snce of the word true
Kentucky gentleman and makes
friends where-ever he goes. We are
pleaed to have met him and shall ex-
pect to hear of good work in the
next Congress of the United States,
done for this section of West Virginia
and Eastern Kentucky by him.

And now they are proving the
charge against Mr.. ct. John Boyle,
that before his nomination for
United States Senator by the Re-
publican caucus he was a pro
nOunced silver man. One JMr.
Mart Rothwell, of Lancaster, writes
a letter in which he claims Boyle
expressed his silver views to him
at the Pendennis Club in Louisville
in presence Of Mr.. George NJ.
Davie and Senator Messenger.
Rothwell offers to make affidavit
to his statement. The Republi-
cans seem to be quite unfortunate
in their selection of nominees.
Both DR., Hunter and Mr.. Boyle
seem to have placed themselves on
both sides of the money question.

The Senatorial Situation.

The Kentucky Legislature has
not yet been able to elect Senator,
nor is it likely they will do so at
this session. The sixty day con-
stitutional limit for it's sitting ex-
pires one week from to-day, and
neither in the way of Legislation
nor in the matter of electing a Sen
atOr, has the body accomplished
anything. After DR.. Hunters
withdrawal, the Republicans held
several caucuses and finally agreed
upon Mr. st. John Boyle, of Louis
vile, as their candidate, but as yet
he has done no better in the way of
securing votes thanIdid DR.. Hunter.
The forty-second ballot, which was
taken Saturday resulted:

Elements of that war must stand as

must be acquiesced in freely in every

WILL MAKE THEIR OWN PLAT
FORM.

The republican party, true to the ad-
vice and example of Lincoln, is going
to make the campaign this year upon
its W ground, not upon its oppon-
ent's.. That is to say. the republicans
OF the country are not going to help the
democratic leaders obscure the issue
on which their party has been wrecked
and the administration stranded by
taking up evey new incident about
which a hue and cry may be raised. On
the contrary, they will not be led of by
side issues, but they will everywhere
courageously insisi hat the people in
November shall judge the administra-
tion and its party by their works and
not by any new and boastful ~protesta-
tons by them. They will give due cred
1t for any sporadic outbursts of patri-
otto fervor for our rights in foreign
countries that the administration may
choose to indulge in and rejoice hat it
is at last on the right side Of a great
question, which is where the republic
cans have always been."-William Nc

BY which the Direction Of Sound May BE
Accurately Determined.
Possibly there is no greater terror
among the many net with ut sea than
n fog. The helplessness Of our harbor
boats and the clamOr Ct bells and whis-
ties during a heavy fog in New York
harbor give one some idea Of this night
marc of the ocean, but when u fog closes
down upon Il vessel at sea the most reck-
less captain proceeds cautiously and
anxiously.
The probability of collisions and
wrecks due to fogs has been accepted US
a sort of unavoidable evil, which must
become greater as the number md speed
of vessels increase. But the inventive
genius of man could not let such q con-
dition Of affairs continue without at
tempting to do away with it. and there
has been perfected II simple instrument,
called the eophonc, by which the direc-
ton from which q sound proceeds may
be determined with absolute accuracy in
fog or darkness.
The simplest description of the ill.,
strument is that it consists of two bell
mouthed sound receivers, separated by a
- ..ui ulapnrnsn. .he sound receivers,
are connected to the two cars, and, when
pointed directly Mt a source of sound,
the noise is the same in each ear. When
turned away, the sound is heard in only
II cal.
On shipECard the sound catching and
dividing part "f the instrument extends
above the top CT the Cllarthousc. The
tubes are brought within the chart
house, and the instrument may be turned
from below to point in any desired di-
rectiOn.
The eophone las now been perfected.
there being many points for which nu-
merous experiments, lasting over several
years, have been required, in order 10
determine the best form. especially with
the sounding tubes and car pieces. Va
rious refinements, such as ~microphones
and devices adding to the complication,
but not improving the use, have been
eliminated.-Ncw York Herald.

1t will not matter to the republicans
of Wyoming what action is taken by the
democrats at Chicago. They may de-
clare for the free n unlimited COIN
age Of silver Independent Of the action
of other nations if they choose and
their declarations will be ignored by
the thinking people of this and other
states. They know as little of finance
as they do of the tariff, and any settle
ment which they would be likely to
make of the financial problem would
be fraught with disaster to the nation.
just as their settlement of the tariff
question has been. Reasonable men Of
all parties who have given h question
unprecedented thought concede that the
silver men will certainly lack a majority
in the next congress, and that being the
case. there is out n thing left to do,
and that is to stand by the party which
has given to the nation prosperity in
the past and which has redeemed every
pledge it has made to the people.
The republican party agreed to free
the slaves and they are freemen; it
agreed to put down the rebellion and
stood for an indivisible union, and the
union is safe: it agreed to resume spe-
Gle payment and make every greenback
as good as gold, and in spite OF the howl
Of the democracy that it could not be
done, it was brought about through the
wisdom of the republican party without
a ripple in the financial world: 1t
agreed to pay of the national debt. and
it was being paid at an enormous rate
till the bond-issuing democracy took
the reins OF government in 1898, since
which time it has been increased by
S262. 600. 900.
The republican party was the father
of the homestead act, and by wise leg
islation it has raised the nation to the
front rank in manufactures and in the
arts. 1t has encouraged inventors, who
have eclipsed the world in their mar
velous ingenuity, causing American
products to be sent to the uttermost
limits'of the earth.
In these times of depression, safety
is demanded by the people. They will
not turn from a party which has full
filled all its pledges to a party which
regulates it's past and has nothing to
offer for the future but experiments.
The people Of the nation demand pro-
lection to American industries, and We
of Wyoming need 1t above all other
things. Republicans Of Wyoming favor
the free and unlimited coinage Of sill
yer under certain and safe restrictions;
they most emphatically do not favor a
leap in the dark. a jump from the fry
ing pan into the democratic hre.
The democratic party has nothtns
in the past to point to but . record OF
unfufflled pledges. a record of perhdy
and dishonor; 1t has nothing to o6er for
the future but doubtful experiments.
Voters Of Wyoming will choose the
republican party. protection, safety and
the hope of bimetallism through an in
ternatonal agreement.
