FRANKFORT, KY March n.-This.
the eleventh day of March, will be an
unenviable memory in the history OF
Kentucky state politics
Blind partisanship and bitter passion
usurped the place of cool judgment and
sober thought.
AT times it looked as If there might
be an outbreak of mob violence. When
it became known outside that the house
had unseated Kaufman, the Democrat,
and the senate had unseated the Re
pubIcans James and Walton, the as
pect looked so threatening that many
of the great crowd that thronged the
corridors made a. rush to get away
There was an unseemly rush for the
joint assembly door. which was guard
ed by a large body of armed men.
At one time the explosive point was
almost reached.
That point would doubtless have been
reached if the Republicans had at
tempted to force the unseated senators
into the joint assembly meeting.
Kaufman. the Democrat unseated by
the house, was already in the hall
senators, got in by strategy. This left
one unseated Democrat and one un-
seated Republican in the joint assem-
bly, hall. This made honors about even
on that score and tended to promote
peace.
There were revolvers waiting silent.

one wanted trouble, he could have had

matters were made to run smoothly
by the ruling of Speaker Worthington.

under way, the joint assembly proceed

style.
When it adjourned every member left
the hall in good humor The breaking
Of the quorum indicates that this will
be the strategy of both parties
through the few days that remain of
the session, and that neither party will
elect a senator.
The ballot for senator resulted:
Blackburn, "a; Carlisle, 10; Buckner. 1.
The chair decided that only sfxtv-five
votes had been cast, there was no
quorum. The assembly adjourned at
once.

| .WASHINTON, March 1.-THE Cuban
debate in the senate has advanced to
the stage of one of the greatest de-
bates of the American congress, and
the speech today of Senator Hoar was
another eventful feature of the discus
sion
In this debate the senators and the
crowded galleries are kept at a high
tension by such stirring themes as
war and patriotism and liberty.
| Mr. Hoar's speech was notable in
setting forth the conservative view of
the subject. and urging a postponement
of action until April G..
This developed many sharp contro-
versies with Mr.. Sherman and other
senators.
In the main, the speech was a plea
for calm, dignified and judicial action.
instead of the excitement and disorder
of the mob and the impassioned speech
of orators.
Mr.. Hoar characterized his colleague.
Mr.. Sherman, as one of the greatest
statesmen of the country, whose name
would go down to history along with
that of Lincoln, Grant, Seward, Fish
and his illustrious brother, and he be-
sought the Ohio senator not to obliter-
ate this brilliant record by hasty and
unguarded action on the Cuban ques-
ton.
In this connection he paid a glowing
tribute to Secretary Olney and while
differing from him politically, Mr.. .Hoar
said the secretary of state was a, clear
headed, dld-fasYioned Massachusetts
Yankee. who could be safely trusted
with our foreign negotiations
The senator added a like tribute to
the sincerity of President Cleveland in
dealing with the Venezuela question,
and declared that any action by con-
gress attacking the presidents course
would be an attack on America.
Mr.. Hoar's resolution for postpone
ment lost it's parliamentary status at
o'clock and went to the calendar.
Mr.. Sherman announced that from
this time forward he would press the
privileged question-the conference re-

Hard, Cold Facts.

Secretary Carlisle, replying under
date of October to the queries of a
Washington correspondent, makes this
instructive statement:
Since November l, 1898, the date of
the repeal of the purchasing clause of
the so-called Sherman act, standard
dollars have been coined in the United
States 10 the amount of sls. .s69, 49l, or
more than twice a. much rs was coin
ed during The whole period Of our his
tory prior TO 1878.
And the coinage still goes ON at the
rate of about 81, 700, 600 "A month. These
figures make answer 10 the senseiess
crv that the Government has discrimi-
mated against the white metal. As a
matter of fact, not only has it been
sieadfastly coming the bullion in its
vaults, but II has been coming into
standard dollars the seigniorage, or
profit which il makes from the coinage
function. and which amounted last
month alone to s9o0,090. The Govern
ment is, therefore, "doing something
for silver right along-all it can law
fully do, in fact, and more than it at
tempts TO do for any other interest
But, of course, the insatiates who are
constantly insisting that something
should be done for silver outside OF all
laws, national or economic, will not be
persuaded, even by the official figures,
of the utter unreasonabieness of their
position.

BIRD AND ANIMAL EYES.
Made ArtihciaIIy In Great Variety and
For Many Uses.

Made ArtifciaIIy In Great Variety and
For Many Uses.
Artificial eyes in imitation of the eyes
Of birds and animals are made in great
variety. They are used in mounting
birds and animals as specimens Birds
ewes are used in mounting birds for mil
linery trimmings. Animals eyes are
used for the heads in fur rugs, and both
bird and animal eyes are used for many
other purpuses-for example, for eyes in
cane and umbrella heads made IN imi-
tation Of animals, for many kinds OF
TOYS and so ON. Artificial eyes are also
made for some living animals. 1t is not
uncommon for horses TO have glass eyes
and dogs are sometimes provided with
them. In at least one case a calf has
been supplied with one, but most artifi-
cial eyes are for use in mounting nat
ural specimens and in the manufactur-
ing uses above referred TO.
The eyes are made, of course, in imi-
fation of nature, and many of them are
beautiful. The stock that the manufac-
turer or dealer keeps always on hand is
wonderful il it's variety. There is no
eye that could not be supplied. Here
are humming birds eyes and alligators'
eyes, tigers eyes and swans eyes ard
eyes for owls, and for eagles, and for
birds Of all kinds and sizes; eyes for
mounted fishes, eyes for the bear. the
lion, the panther, the fox, the squirrel,
the dog, and the wolf and for other an
imals TO be mounted, and eyes Tor imi-
tation pigs and dogs, sheep and cats,
and so on
Artificial eyes for birds and animals
are sold chiefly to taxidermjsts, to fur
riers and TO the various manufactur-
ers. They are sold in pairs. The num-
Der sold in the aggregate is very large.

Railroad Rates and Wages.

Railroad rates have gone down. Rail-
road wages have gone up. This shows
the law of progress in wages.
In 1872 it cost "A cents by water and
33J cents all rail TO bring a bushel of
grain from Chicago to New York. In
1895 it cost Il cents by water and l2i
cents all rail.
In 1873 the freight rate over all rail-
roads in the United States averaged
> l-5 cents for each ton of freight carri-
ed one mile. In 1895 the rate was less
than of one cent.
In 1878, on the New York Central,
passenger engineers averaged $50; in
1895, $50 a month ; freight engineers
then $50, now earn s30-s75 /; trainmen
then $50 -S35, now earn $3.50; track
men then 81 cents, now earn Sl.35 a
day.
Here is proof that wages do go up
though prices go down.
But Mr. Bryan said in his speech OF
acceptance: Farmers have found
that certain fixed charges have not
fallen at all. Railroad rates have not
been reduced to keep pace with the
falling prices"
Has any crop fallen so much as rail-
road freight rates
Cotton has not fallen so much.
Wheat has not fallen half so much.
Corn has held its price. Oats ar,
higher.

face when he talks. = New York
