COPY OF ONE OF his ORDERS

FRANKFORT, KY, September 8 -(Spec-
ial. lin 1865 Gen. John M. Palmer, the
national Democratic nominee for Pres
ident, was Military Governor Of Ken
lucky, aud inst before the August elect
ion Of that year, he issued the following
order, which, il it could have been en-
forced, would have DISTINGUISHED every
Democrat and Southern sympathiEer in
the State, and left the State government
in the hands OF an interruptions and vic
ious element.
After reciting the causes for issuing
such an order in lengthy preamble full
Of venom and vituperations, he goes on
to classify those who are to be denied
the right OF suffrage under four sections
as follows:
l. All rebel soldiers, whether paroled
or not, and without regard TO the fact
that they have or have not taken any OF
the oaths prescribed by law or ex, cutive
or military orders, or have registered
under orders from the headquarters Of
the department Of Kentucky.
2. All guerillas and others who, with
out belonging to the regular rebel militia
ry organizations, have taken up arms
against the government, or have in any
way operated against the government
or people of Kentucky, or any other
Sta or territory.
3. All persons who by act or word, d.
rectly or indirectly, gave aid, comfort or
encouragement to persons in rebellion
This applies to all persons who have vol
unfairly acted as scouts and spies for
rebel or guerrilla forces, who have vol
unfairly furnished any rebel force or
person with information, food clothing,
horses, arms or money, or have harbored,
concealed, or otherwise aided or encour-
aged them.
4. All persons who were or have been
directly or indirectly engaged in the civil
services of the late so-talled confederate
government, or of the so-called provis-
iopal government of Kentucky, or who
have in any way submitted to either OF
said pretended governments Or agents o.,
or contracted with or for either of said
pretended governments, are disqualified
to abstain from all interference with
elections, and will, if they shall in any
manner interfere therein by voting or by
appearing at the polls, be at once arrest
ed and held for military trial. Aid will
be given the civil authorities to enforce
the laws and to preserve the peace.

Japanese Progress.

Financial News: "Japan's Diet voted
SIS, 700 for the construction of rail-
roads, telegraphs and cables at its last
session, and S97 900, 900 for the construc-
ton and purchase of war materials and
ships Since January, 1895, $500, 100000
has been invested by Japanese in banks,
railroads and other companies"
The above figures we quote from an
exchange. The purchase, in Philadel-
phia the other day of cargo of Ala
bama pig iron to take to Japan to make
into machinery is an evidence OF Japan
csc business shrewdness. They do not
care to build scores of expensive furnaces
to make up pig iron which the "modern
nations" because they have tied their
business hands by gold standard, are
making at cost leaving no profit, and
business stagation prevents from working
up fully into higher products. The Japs
prefer to buy the pig iron we cannot
work up at less than half cent a pound
and work it into machinery and higher
wares whers it brings many cents a
pound. They are shrewd enough to
know that country foolish enough to
sell them money, good silver bullion, at
half price, would be obliged to sell its
other crude products at slaughter prices.
a policy that makes us "hewers OF wood
and drawers of water" for Japan isn't
much of an American policy. The gold
policy is sinking us to a level where we
do the rough, crude work that other
countries work up and make money out
of.
