''Take it to Lathrop's Drug Store to be filed" Doctors soon find out where cer- tainty of purity exists-they soon find out where prescriptions have the most care. ful attention.

Much time aud newspaper space
have been wasted in the description
of bills introduced in TIE House by
Republicans for the redis ricting OF
the State, the reapportionment of
Hopkinsville into negro wards, the
reapportionment of Louisville, ETC.
Such Republican gerrymanders would
be sensational, revolutionary and i'm
pudent if there was any possibility OF
their going through the Legislature
But what is the use of taking on"
over such matters or even telling
about them when every one knows
that their introduction means about
as much as would a resolution for the
annexation of the FIJI Island. The
measures can't pass the Senate; they
can't become laws this or any other
session, and are simply being intro
duced to satisfy the wild and woolly
constituents of some member, just as
a hundred or two hundred other
measures, never again to be heard of,
have been introduced by fellows who
want to be returned in two years
from now, when the session will be
interesting, if not profitable.-Times'

The Republicans have raised a
point that an appellate judge to sue
coed Judge Grace cannot be elected
before 1897 under the constitution,
which says that special elections may
be held only when elections for city,
county district OF State officers" are to
be held. This provision was intended
to include any general election. This
year congressman are to be elected by
districts and if we mistake not a
Judge is to be elected in Judge
fryor's district. III addition State
election to choose presidential cleo
tors is to be held. Judge Landes has
evidently been searching with ami
croscope for "technicalities," since
he is said to be slated for the APP
pointment. -. f.. n

Congress is certain to pass the Gu
