The Circuit Court OF Ohio county con-
vened one week ago last Monday, since
which time the Commonwealth Attorney
has been greatly incapacitaled for tie dis
charge of his official duties by inebriation.
1t is claimed by Mr.. Rowe's friends that
his indictment was brought about by the
Republican County Attorney, Z. p. Neal,
and the Republicans are therefore jubilant
over Mr.. Rowe's Indictment and their de-
light has been so great as TO disgust even
great number Of their more conservative
partisans But the charge of partsanship
can hardly be true, for the foreman OF the
grand jury is Mr.. John d. Holbrook, a
prominent and influential Democrat, and
the grand jury was also largely composed
of Democrats.
This indictment is the second that has
been found against the present Common
wealth's Attorney during his term of Of

grand jury in Hancock county for gaming,

being no evidence against him except tue

FACTS FOR FARMERS,

The annual report Of the Secre.
tary of Agriculture presents some
facts which it would be well for
farmers to study, instead OF read.
ing so much OF the current litera-
tnre of calamity. They will dis'
cover by giving proper attention
to these interesting statistics that,
while they may have causes of
complaint, they are by no means
in suce bad fix, generally speak
ing, as the Populist orators and
writer's are continually telling
them. For instance, out Of each
1000 farms in the country only
asa are mortgaged, and three.
fourths of the money represented
by these mortgages was borrowed
to purchase or improve the farms
thus incumbered. The total liens
upon lands used for tillage and the
production OF crops aggregate, ex.
elusive of the mortgages given by
railroads and other corporations,
less than one. sixth of the total in.
debtedness upon the real estate Of
the nation. Moreover, the heav-
lest farm mortgage burden is not
in the West and South, where there
is most complaint, but IN the East
and Northeast, where there is
comparatively little talk about
agricultural distress. Singularly
enough, too, the average rate OF in.
terest on farmloans is not higher
as is persistenily proclaimed, but
lower, than the rate upon other
real estate loans.
When the Western farmers are
asked to believe that their mort
gagged property is decreasing in
value, while their debts remain the
same, it is easy for them to ascer-
tain that such is not the case. The
statistics prove that there has
been a steady maintenance of land
values In nearly all sections, and
in some a decided enhancement.
"Between 1880 and $780," says
Secretary Morton, "the increase
of farming-land values, as reported
by the occupants of the farms
themselves, was more than enough
to offset the entire interest charge
for the decade in most of the great
agricultural States OF the West and
South. In Kansas and Nebraska
the increase of land values lii that
period of time exceeded the entire
farm incumbrance, principal and
interest;and in the States OF Wash
ington and California it was nearly
twice as great as the combined
principal and interest" OF course
these facts do not touch the ques-
ton OF the decline in the prices of
farm products, and do not signify
that agriculture is as profitable as
it used to be; but they do show
that the case Of the farmers is mis-
represented when it is said to be
one of practical impoverishmen'.
They are in debt to some extent,
like other folks, but not more than
other folks; and the low prices
that they grumble about are to be
seen IN all other lines of produc-
ton. In short, they are the vic
TINS of general influences of de-
preston, in common with other
classes; and the times will get bet
ter for them just as fast as the
prosperity of the country at large
is restored-not by processes Of
special legislation for their benefit,
but by the operation of natural
laws that apply to all kinds of bus
mess and all forms of industry

An unintentional injustice was done the
Cooperative Mining and Manufacturing
Co., of Barnesley last week in the publi-
cation in this column OF the report that
they are only paying cents per bushel for
mining. THE BEE finds that the Coopera-
tive company is paying az cents, and
cheerfully makes the correction. The in
formation as TO the cent rate was re-
ceived from man who says he understood
this TO be the rate from expressions Of the
miners, and il is clear case OF misunder-
standing on his part. THE BEE congratu-
lates the Barnesley miners on the fact that
the 2 cent report is not true. and trusts il
may see the time when all operators in
Western Kentucky who are not now paying
the old-time 3-cent rate may be able to re-

Proportion and Symmetry.

What is u well-proportioned waist?
Lady Haberton says: The true pro
portion is difference of ten inches be
tween the circumference of the bust
and that Of the waist. Thus a woman

40 inches, waist 30 inches, and so on.

lovely Easter lilies, with their white
fragrant flowers; the begonias, gera-

palms, orchids and so on, but some of
us would be at a loss just how to group
