In this issue appears the announce
ment of Judge John T.. Cooper as 8
candidate for reelection to the Office
OF Circuit Judge of the Twenty rsl
Judicial District, composed of the
counties of Rowan, Menefee, Bath
and Montgomery.
Junge Cooper's record as an official
has been continuously before the peo-
pie siuce 1884. To this Office he was
elected when the Thirteenth district
was composed of the counties of e.
liotL Morgan, Wolfe, Bresihitt, Lee,
EStill, Powell, Menefee, Bath and
Montgomery. The work was ardu-
Gus physically and mentally, but
Judge Cooper was equal to the task.
In 1886 by the creation of the 18th
district the counties of Breathitt,
Wolfe, Lee, Powell and Estill were
taken off his district and Rowan and
Magoffin were added to it so that the
18th district was composed of 7 coun-
ties. In 1886 Judge Cooper was re-
elected Circuit Judge without oppo-
sition which act was all expression of
an appreciative constituency.
In 1892 the Legislature redistricted
the State and the 2lst., Judicial dis
trict comp >siDg the counties of Ro wan,
Menefee, Bath and Montgomery, was
created, aud in this year Judge Coop
er was again reelected CT cult Judge
and in this capacity has served the
people for twelve years, missing only
two courts during that time. Again
he comes before the people with his
record as Democrat and public Off
cial, asking that his party renominate
him, in which event he promises that
the party shall triumph according to
its old-time majorilies, and he will
the duties of the office fairly
and honestly. He stands bv his record.

Joe. NJ. Smith announces in to-day's
ISSUE as candidate for Jailer OF
Montgomery county, subject to the
action of the Democratic party.
II is time wasted for us to speak of
the good qualities belonging of Mr..
Smith. As man we have found him
as all other men have, honest and true
alike to principle, party and men. II
is not reputable to be poor; this would
be the only charge that could be made
against him. The poor are always
with you,is not scripture language, but
the sentiment is the same, and if the
poor are at all clanish, then Mr.
Smith would look very much like a
winner. He has never held office,
but his honesty, energy and loyalty to
party certainly merits consideration
at the hands of Democrats.

The Lodge immigration Bill Pass
ed by the Senate.

/ Ga Thursday the U. s. Senate by a
vote of 81 10 10 passed the Lodge bill
which so amends the immigration
laws as to exclude from admission to
the United States ali persons over ak
leon years of age who can not read
and write the language of their native
country or some other language, but
an admissible immigrant over the age
of sixteen may bring with him, or
send for, his wife or parent or grand
parent or minor child or grandchild,
the inability to read
and write.
For the purpose of testing The abil-
ity of the immigrant to read al d
write as required by the foregoing
section the inspection officers shall be
furnished with copies of the Constitu-
ton of the United States printed on
numbered uniform pasieboard slips,
each containing five lines of the Con-
stitution printed In the various Ian
guages of the immigrants. The i'm
migrant may designate the language
in which he prefers the test shall be
made.
No immigrant failing to read and
write out the slip thus drawn by him
shall be admitted; but he shall be re-
turned to the country whence he came
at the expense OF the steamship or
railroad company which brought
him, as now provided by law. The
inspection officers shall keep in each
box at all times full number OF
these printed pasteboard slips, and in
he case of each excluded immigrant
hall keep certified memorandum of
he number of the slip which the i'm
Migrant failed to read or copy out in
writing.
The Cuban section added to the bill
provides that the act shall not apply
o persons arriving in the United
states from any port or place in the
sland of Cuba during the continuance
II the present disorders there, provid-
d that such persons have heretofore
'een inhabitants of that island.

The County Democratic Committee
persHant to call OF chairman C.. L.
Chenault met at the Court House,
Thursday and after a prolonged ses-
sion they decided to meet the first
Saturday in February at which time
they would decide on the time and
manner of nominating candidates for
county Offices. The expediency of
this action was based on he fact that
there would likely be other candi-
dates and it was but just that every
Democrat shold have an equal chance

How Will Responsibility Affect
Women?
[Eliza sproat Turner, Of Philadelphia.l

tElza Sproat Turner OF Philadelphia
Mr.. Lecky, in his valuable work on
"Democracy and Liberty" finds one
source of danger in the increasing in-
fluence of women in politics. He
links their tendency, in trying to re-
form the world, would be TO over-leg-
islstion. They have thrown themsel-
YES, for instance, into the question of
temperance, in such way as to "con-
sderably alter its prospects," And
the same is true of vivisectiou, which
they are disposed not only to guard
but to abolish, thus booming thu :
ands of human beings to an untold
amount of preven,ible suffering
There have BEEN" he says, cages in
which insensibility to suffering was
the prevailing vice of public opinion
in our own, perhaps, more is to be
feared from wild gusts ofunreasoning,
uncalculating, hystericsl emotion"
think that common fairness COM
pels us to acknowledge the at least
partial truth OF these opinions. Be-
cause women are by nature more
compassionate, because, in their more
domestic lives, they see so distinctly
the immediate results of incompetence,
of immortality, of cruelty, they are
more likely to be tempted, (until they
learn its futiity) to over-legislation
and over-coercion, to sweeping the
whole world clean Of sin and error by
one grand whisk of the broom of the
law. When it comes to the 'wlld
gusts of emotion" however, l doubt
ii we could much exagerate the meth
DDS of our brothers their little ways
at a nominating convention, for in
stance, where the correct thing is for
the delegates to climb on chairs and
ables, to screech, to howl, to roar, to
break into sobs, to embrace each {
other, ETC., by way of expressing their I
political opinions-snd not about any
question which could be called ethical {
either. Onr doings could scarcely be
more hysterical than those in the bed
am OF any city course, and we should
