The School Book Monopoly.

The Legislature has an oppor-
tunity to do grand thing for the
State and make a record to which
in after years they may point with
pride. We refer to the need for an
act which will break up the mo-
nopoly which the school book trust
is now using to rob the people of
the State Of Kentucky. A book
which does not cost over l5 cents
to manufacture is sold at $1.l2,
and Others in and about the same
proportion. 1t is an outrage which
should be speedily put an end to-.
When you count up the number of
children in the State and the num-
Der Of high-priced books required
on the average, some idea of the
magnitude of the steal may be
formed. No wonder times are hard
when a monopoly like this is allow
lowed thus to fasten itself upon the
public and suck out its financial
life blood under the forms of law.
Down with all monopolies, and in
particular this one, which lays a
tax upon the education of our
children.-(EX.

THE VALIDITY OF BALLOTS, ETC.

As the decision is most importan
one, the syllabus is given in full:
First--Although the duties of tn,
County Canvassing Board of Elections
are purely ministerial, it is the duty
of that board to canvass as a part o.
the returns the doubtful or questioned
ballots returned By :ii1 precinct oi iii
GERS, and to count them for the one
candidate or the other, or reject them
altogether, as may appear to be proper
from aninspeciion of the ballots.
Second-This duty of the canvass.
ing Board is controllable by manda-
mus, the Court having The power to
require recanyass, and to direct for
what candidate, If for any. each doubt
full or questioned ballot shall be
connted.
Third-Ballots marked with cross
made with pencil or ink of any color
are to be counted, provided they are
in other respects regular, the provis-
ion of the statute that all marking up
on the ballot shall be made with black
ink stencil being directory merely.
Fourth-Ballots marked with
cross at the head of a particular party
column, although outside the square
containing the party device, are to be
counted for the candidates of that
party.
Fifth--A ballot having the cross
under the Democratic device and also
Immediately across the top of the
square to the right of the name of a

should be counted for that candidate
Sixlh--A ballot marked with solid
irregular black figure instead of a |
cross should be counted, the marking

voter is manifest,
Seventh--A ballot marked with a
ross in the square TO the right of the
lame of a Republican Presidential cleo.
or at the head of the Republican col.
INN, and marked nowhere else,
hould be counted for that candidate
lone, although probably intended for
he entire Republican ticket.
Eighth-Ballots marked with two
l. more crosses in one square, or with
cross of peculiar form, should be
ounted if otherwise regular, as these

Carlisle Against Carlisle.

In his official report of Dec. 3, 1894
Secretary Carlisle, abiding to his No.
vember loan and pleading for the
privilege of issuing per cent. "coin"
bonds. said:
This transaction justifies to opinion
that a p per cent. bond, having a
reasonable time to run, could probably
have been sold at par, aud certainly
3 per cent bond could have been
disposed of at or above that rate. The
fact that bond bears SO high a rate
of interest and has SO large time to
run that it must be sold at large pre-
MUM deters many from Offering TO
purchase and detracts considerably
from its investment and speculative
value in the hands of the comparative
ly few who are willing TO take the
risk of future fluctuations in its price.
The consequence is that the purchases
are made almost exclusively by large
moneyed institutions and capitalists
who are familiar with such securities,
and the people generally are precluded
from investing their savings in the
only form which is known to be
perfectly good and always convertible
into money"
These are perfectly true statements
of important truths. But why has
not Mr.. Carlisle acted upon themp I'll
a or 8 per cent. "coin" bond could
have been sold on the Sd of December,
1894, at or above par, why did Mr..
Carlisle induce the President on the
Goth of that month to create senseless
by his special message ask
ing for "gold" bonds instead? And
when this year there was good pros
pect in Congress of passing bill au-
precisely the per cents for
which Mr.. Carlisle had asked, why
did he set his face against its passage
on this "gold' for "coin" bubble, and
thus make it certain that his future
bond issues, like those that had gone
before, should be taken "slmost exclu-
sive by large moneyed institutions and
to the exclusion of the
people,?
If per cents were salable in De-
cember, 1894, sat or above" par why
did Mr.. Carlisle in the following Feb
ruary secretly sell four per cent to a
syndicate at l044?
II is matter of public policy to let
the people "invest their savings" in
the bonds, why has Mr.. Carlisle. oh

THE ADVOCATE.
THE SUCCESS OF ADVERTISING.

The TEMPLE held an awful crowd.
II seemed as il boom
Had struck it for and aft uutil
There wasn't standing room.
The GazareBes were out in force,
The naughty and the nice,
Until no tickets could be had
At any sort of price,
The crowd outside was ninety feet
In thickness, more or less,
And up against the Temples walls
There was dreadful press.
A thousand women tainted there.
Perhaps ten thousand more
Were badly squeezed, and every man
Raised up his voice and swore.
1t was gala time, indeed;
There mt yer had been one
In all the temples history
When greater deeds were done.
For Sampson, the Herculean,
Had been engaged to break
All previous records and thereby
The greatest one to make.
These are the facts of history,
And what befel that day
To thousands of those Gazarenes
Who happened round that way
And never has an actor since
Brought down house as he
Brought down that house upon the heads
OF those who came to see.
These facts are known, but less well known
Is why so many went
To see this samson when they knew
His strength was almost spent.
I'll tell you in a minute why,
II you would like to know;
His managers were wise men and
They advertised the show.

To make good money it must be

without authority is false or counter
felt. TIE government may stamp
wood, leather, paper or metal, as to
the intrinsic value or redemption of
paper that is all a curse and bogus; it
is false pretense; there never has been
and never will be gold or silver enough
to redeem the paper money required in
business if pr, s9nted all at once for
specie payment. The redemption and
intrinsic value is a hue and cry raised
by goldbUgs, bankers, money changers,
