The Morrill, heutenants did not give

they did not let go at once. They went
to the TrOutmen managers and inform

compromise was refused and it was
given out fiat that TrOutman would
consent to no such arrangement. The

Washington, June 17-President
Cleveland's public statement as to the
money plank of the Democratic nations
al convention has caused widespread
comment here today. although few
prominent public men outside of cabi-
net officers and department officials re-
main in town and these viii not be
quoted.
Senator Jones, CPop.Nev) a prominent
silver leader SAID Cleveland's statement
is not open to analysis. There is Turk
ing conceit about such an expression
said the senator, indicating the belief
that when he says it will not do what
he knows it viii do, the public will
pause and fan in line and recognize
him as a great prophet. But the con
vention win disclose what a poor pro
phet he is. for after all the influence of
patronage and office the convention
VIII be for silver. The president mere
ly gives it as his opinion that the con-
vention VIII not be for silver, passing
over the merit of the case"

Very Religious.

The Louisville Courier Journal
tells of an extremely religious man
who lived on Lost Creek, in Greenup
county. He is close student of his
Bible, and doesn't propose to live on
Lost Creek in the next world if he
can help it. A few nights ago he
was searching the Scripture and
ran across the admonition of Solomon:
Spare the rod and spoil the child"
After studying the matter over he
concluded that the rod had not been
applied often enough to his own
family of seven hopefuls, and he
yanked the entire seven out Of bed
and administered a sound whipping
to every one of them.
