land home rule and we shall hear little OF
the Monroe doctrine"
Another Radical workingmen's paper
holds that 1t is impossible for the public
to support war on the question Of the
boundary Of British Guiana or Of teach
ing Uncle Sam better manners. It re-
calls how Lord Palmerston played the
"Civis Romsnus Sum" doctrine for all IL
was worth to get we'll with the crowd
when his name was ill-smelling at court
and among his colleagues. Mr.. Cleve-
land, it says, is using che Monroe doc
trine in similar manner as the last
dodge OF beaten party to raise smoke
and drown a stencil.
The most notable features Of the arti-
cles in these and other papers Of the
same Class-Conservative, Liberal and
Radical alike-is the concensus Of opin-
ion that Great Britain cannot submit 70
the humiliation Of accepting President
Cleveland's demands.

The state Militia Should Not be Afflicted
With Politicians
Many people believe that there Ia
little use for an organized State mi
litis. Many others hold to opposite
view,- but believe that the militia
should be organized and equipped
with a view to efficiency, and that the
introduction of politics into the mill
tary department. Is q serious mistake.
It Is true that to greater or lesser ex.
tent political influence has been
brought to bear in the election Of off,
GERS under all administrations, but no
political party, so far as q casual OBJ.
server could discover, has attempted
to nnllify he action Of the officers Of
the Guard when such action has been
regularlsrly taken.
Colonels and several other officers
Of the various regiments are elected
by vote Of the officers Of the regiment
above q certain rank. There is q large
number of these local officers who, In
NsuCh elections, endeaVor to cast their
votes for those men who are best pre-.
pared through training and expert
enCe for the positions to be filled. Such
was doubtless the ease In the recent
election of Col. MCCrum, Of the First
regiment. This gentleman Is reputed
to be q good officer, one who is we'll In
formed in military matters and well
fitted for his Office. He is, however, q
Democrat, and was one Of the officers
detailed on the Col. J. w. F. Hughes
court martial In 1893. His experience
and knowledge was such that he was
led to vote to expel Hughes from the
Guard for the good and sufficient rea-
SON that he had declined to obey the
orders of his superior officer. This
reason would have been sufficient for
any military man who desired to act
honestly In the matter. Hughes did
not view 1t that way, and exerted his
influence to prevent Col. McCrum'S
election and favored the reelection
Of Col. Howard. AS matter Il fact,
Hughes is much more Of q politician
than q general, and he has resolved to
prevent the issuance of q commission

FRANKS OF COURSE.
THE REPUBLICAN, DISTRICT coNvEN-
TON YESTERDAY.
The Convention Had Done Nothing of I'm.
portance Late Yesterday
Afternoon.

A large delegation of local Repub-
cans went to Madisonville to attend
the district convention to nominate a
candidate for Congress. W. T. Fow-
Ter, Jno. p. Prowse, j. NJ. Renshaw,
V. NJ. Williamson, W. B. Pace, Watt
Summers, COL, and Geo. Dabney, COL,
were among the number. Mr.. Fow-
Ter and several others went Sunday
night. The rest went yesterday.
The Congressional nomination was
of course settled in advance. Chris
tan, Webster, Hopkins and Mclean
were instructed for Franks with 95
votes. Henderson, Union and Han.
cock for Sebree with "a vote.
The only matters of Importance to
come up, the nomination of Franks
being settled and conceded, were the
election of two delegates, and one
district elector and the instructions to
the delegates. The real fight was be-
tween Bradley and Mckinley. The
counties of Daviess, Henderson and
Union were instructed for Bradley,
Christian and Webster for Mckinley
and the rest uninstructed, but leaning
to Mckinley.
In the election of delegates a hot
fight was expected, with half dozen
candidates, among them Maj. S. R. |
Crombough, of this city.
The Kentuckian had arrangements
to be notified by telephone as soon
as anything was done, but up to 4:30
o'clock had heard nothing. The con-
ventiou probably had trouble getting
down to business.

Names That are Doubles.

There are in Hopkinsville severa
gentlemen who are two of a kind
SO far as names go and the postmas.
ter is often put to his wits ends tc
keep their mail from getting mixed
To begin with, there are two Jas
d. Russells in the city who are in nc
way related each other. One is Vice
President of the Planters Bank and
the other manager of the Telephone
Exchange. The banker has son of
the same name, so in this case there
are three residents of the city who
answer to the name of j. d. Russell.
Another pair of doubles are the
Robt. S. Carriers. One is the Episco-
pal Minister and the other lives on
South Main. In this case one is
known as "Rev. Robt. s. Carter" and
the other as "R. S. Carter" and they
manage to keep themselves pretty
we'll identified.
A letter addressed to Walter Lee
Whitesides was taken out of the post
Office last week by the foreman of the
Kentuckian, Office that was evidently
not his. He knew of no other man
of the same name, nor did anybody
else in town, but Saturday a drum
mer turned up in search of the letter.
The two men bearing the same name,
middle name and all, were total
strangers and in no way related, The
drummer had ordered his mail sent
here to meet him on his arrival.
There used to be two j. II. Ander-
sons, merchant and railroad man,
but the latter moved away year or
two ago.
MIR. j. Nj. Adams, the L. & N.
agent, also has a "dos.5le." but he
lives at Church Hill, few miles from
town.
OF course there are many cases
where father and son bear the same
name, and many others where white
man and negro have the same
name, but the cases mentioned above
are some where there is apparently no
way to separate the identity of the
parties without adding the mans
business to his name in addressing
mail.
There is also more or less confus-
ion in cases where two or more par
ties bear the same name except
as to the middle initial. Unless the
full and correct name is given, the
letter is in many cases apt to mis-.
carry.
1t would be well enough to add that
the editor of the Kentuckian has
no copyright on his name except the
middle initial. The rest of it is borne
by two other Charles Meachams.

The fight now for a candidate to

has spoken for the party,
and made nomination, expect to
stand by that nomination. And SO
should every true Democrat. Let us
when the party speaks, sink individ.

unite to bring success to the ticket,

Eloped On One Leg.

Gallatin, Tenn, April PA 70,
mantle and novel marriage was per-
formed here this afternoon by Squire
j. B. Donelson. The contracting par
ties were Mr.. W. J. Allen and Miss
Dora Bray, and their home is at Hise-
vile, Warren county, KY. The
elopement was caused by parental OBJ
lection. The main features which
characterized this novel wedding are
that the groom was about sixty years
of age, with hoary locks and long
magnificent gray beard, is totally
blind and minus a leg, while his
bride, who has not seen seventeen
summers, is quite pretty and viva
cious.

About o'clock this morning a negro
named Henry Edmunds, who had not
been living with his wife for some
time, slipped into her home, and, af-
ter treating her in terrible manner,
shot her to death. The woman's sister
who was visiting her, ran to her aid
and Edmunds shot and dangerously
wounded her. Edmunds made his es-
cape, and has not been captured. Ex-
element here is at high pitch among

An Unknown FIOater.

The body of a man was found float
ing in West Fork creek, near Ken
nedy, early yesterday morning by Bill
johnson and Tandy Johnson, two
negro fisherman. The corpse was
lodged in some bushes and was taken
out by the men and Esq. Barker mott
fed. It was so discolored that the color
of the dead man could not be told.
The Coroner went down yesterday,
but at four o'clock the inquest had not
been held. The Kentuckian made
an effort to get the results, but the
scene was some distance from Kenne-
dy and nothing could be learned at
the hour of going to press.
Foul play is suspected as the stream
is not deep enough 10 drown people.

DIrsie., city In tho world.

Annoy, In China, bears the unenviable
reputation OF being the dirtiest city in the
world AMI the most unhealthful says the
Pittsburg Dispatch. What is more I'M
pleasant fact is the promise OF the present
tendency OF affairs to lower and worse
condition. The reasons are obvious to
newcomer at once.
The city is built on the edge OF noun
famous island, and is exceedingly old.
Inscriptions on ancient tombs run back
as tar as the beginning Of the Christian
era, and COINS found in accidentally dis
covered graves date to the dynasties from
1000 to 800 B. @. During all this period
the hillsides Of the city have been Used
as burying ground. As-the population
increases the houses encroach upon the
cemetery land, until the two become
hopelessly mixed.
The United States consulate is regarded
as very superior locality, but it is sur
rounded by over 100 tombs. A score of
large blocks Of granite are used in il and
about it are old tombstones. On the hill.
Immediately behind the residence OF f.
Malcampo, the graves touch one another
at every point, and form a solid white
surface of rock, brick, porcelain and CO.
ment. covering more than / 900, 900 square
feet.
Near the Lampsw-do joss house 80 900
bodies are said to have been buried verti-
cslly to save space. They lie. or stand
ON plat Of ground OF as many square
feet. Annoy proper and its suburbs have
a living population Of 100000, and a
dead one OF four and half times as
many. The wells are shallow, and are
sunk on the edge of the graveyards, and
even among the tombs themselves.
have not seen one whose water is not
muddy and discolcrei by the turning up
of the soil.
The city is a relic OF the past. 1t is
walled still as it was in the time OF Con-
iucius. 1t has no sewers whatever. The
streets vary from two to six feet in width,
no wheeled vehicle can use them. An
equestrian would experience great diff
Guilty in turning corner. Here and
there are open spaces or plaza, dug out
so as to be huge receptacle into winch
the streets discharge their refuse.
