THAT the "balance of trade" either
has nothing to do with the material in
terests of a country, or else is conducive
to the prosperity of the country to
which it is against, is proved by the
fact that while the exports of this coun-
try last year exceeded its imports to
the extent of one hundred and odd mil
lion dollars, the financial condition OF
its people has rarely if ever been worse
than it is now.

LOUISVILLE, KY, July 1S.-Articles

against the three members of the board
of public safety. They are charged
with aiding and protecting gamblers,
failure to suppress disorderly houses
and general misconduct in Office. The

be relieved of Office as all three are
democrats. This means a reorganiza.

A LYNcH1Ne MAY Follow

A LYNcHING MAY FoLLow.-A
crime committed last Wednesday in
Russell county has created much ex-
element in that section, and the indig-
nation of the people is aroused. The
story of the affair, as told in Bristol, is
that two men, one white, the other a
negro, entered the home of Charles
Browning, q short distance east of
Lebanon, and in most brutal manner
assaulted Mrs. Browning, who was in
the house alone. The villains made
their escape, but it was not before the
alarm was given, and the chase began.
The white mans name is Harris, that
of the colored man Martin. On Friday
evening Martin and another negro were
found at Honaker and placed under
arrest. After his capture Martin i'm
plicated Harris, who was arrested later.
The prisoners waived their right to q
preliminary trial, and were sent to
Jail. The people are INDUCING in
strong talk of lynching.

As TO "DoG DAYs."-No one quite
knows why the dog days are SO called.
The old view used to be that they were
named from the heliacal rising of ST.
RUS, the dog star; but whereas the dog
days last from July 8 to August II, ST.
RUS does not rise till the end of that
month. Some good people used to
think that the dog days were so-called
because dogs went mad then; but sta
tistics have discovered that dogs go
mad in spring and autumn, but hardly
ever at midsummer. In pursuit of this
fallacy we find the first muzzling order
issued by the Mayor of Cambridge sew
enty.two years ago on the first of the
dog days. The prevalence of rabies in
Elizabethan times led to the appoint
ment of "a dog killer in the month of
August" according to Ben Johnson.

THE VALUE of the exports of this
country during the year ending on the
first of this month exceeded that OF
those of the previous year to the extent
of seventy-five million dollars. The
reason of this immense increase in
single year was the reduction in the
tariff on raw materials, which made it
possible for American manufacturers to
compete with their foreign rivals on
more favorable terms, and by tending
to increase the ability Of foreign mer-
chants to pay for American products
with the abundant supplies of their
own countries, instead of with scarce
gold.

fOR MURDER WELNE i EARS aGO.
A dispatch from Hindman, KY, says !:
A sensation has been created by the ar
rest of Rev. Washington Craft, wide
ly known Baptist preacher of Clay
county. The charge on which Craft
was arrested was the murder of Len
vile Hagins in that county twelve years
ago. Craft, at that time, lived in
Letcher county, and Hagins kept a
grocery and saloon in Hindman. Craft,
in company with three other men, came
to Hindman and created disturbance
in Hagin's place. The proprietor ask.
ed them to leave, but instead they drew
their pistols and commenced shooting
at objects in the room. Hagins jumped
from the window and attempted to run
away, but was followed by the men and
shot. After filling his body full of bull
lets, the desperadoes fled, and only
Craft was apprehended. He refused to
divulge the names of his pals, and while
he was being taken on horseback from
Hindman to Whiteburg he, in some way,
managed to get the sherif's pistol and
kill him.
Craft escaped, and, although the
grand jury indicted him for Cooks
murder, it seems that the officers were
afraid to attempt to arrest him. After
remaining out of the State for some
time he returned to Clay county, joined
the church and began preaching. Craft
was at the time he killed Hagins under
Indictment in Letcher county for the
murder of his uncle, and also for break
ing into the Whitesburg Courthouse
and stealing indictments.

A WASHINGTON newspaper defender
of the President says, "Mr. Cleveland
has always been a straight out party
man." He always has been when he
would be the beneficiary of his party's
support, and, so late as the last Presi-
dental campaign, he is on record, over
his own lame, as saying "the underlying
principle of party organization is the
acceptance of the arbitrament Of
the national convention" But it is a
horse of another color with Mr.. Cleve-
land when the acceptance of such a
principle will not rebound to his espec
ial benefit, as was demonstrated by his
unprecedented course in the last cleo
tons in New York, Maryland and Ken
lucky, and in the countenaDce and sup
port he is now giving the republicans
aud so-called democratic, boilers. 1t is
no wonder that his name is either en-
tirely ignored or Kissed in almost every
democratic assemblage.

SATURDAY EVENING, JULY IS, 1896.

ACCORDING to the reports OF the sew
eral States on the subject, the farms IN
New York and New England are more
burdened with mortgages than those OF
the South and West. No wonder the
silver idea is making such rapid head
way in the former section. The average
country, and city laborer either, for
that matter, realizes the fact that his
condition is growing worse. He doesn't
know the cause, and has neither the
time, disposition nor ability to reason
about it, and, as the shortest and easiest
way to solve the puzzle, he settles down
into the belief that as no change can
make his circumstances worse than
they are, any, might possibly improve
them, apd he therefore determines to
try the experiment and vote with the
other people in his condition for free
silver, which, he does know, is being
fought by Wall street with all the
forces at its commend, for, as ne nat
urally thinks, its own special interests.

bought our cheap silver, had it coined

A Time Fixed for Disposins of the
Dupont Election Case.
Washington, May 1.-Two yea and nay
votes were had in the Senate to-day, the
result of which was significant as an in
dication that there is not to be any undue
haste in passing appropriation bills and
forcing an early adjournment of congress.
The first vote was on a motion made by
Mr.. Turpie, dem, of Indiana, to proceed
to the considera ton of the Dupont cleo
ton case. Mr.. Mitchell, rep, of Oregon,
who as chairman of the committee on
privileges and elections has parliamentary
charge of the subject, protested against
this action on the part of Mr.. Turpie
discourteous to the committee and as
something unprecedented in his service
in the Senate.
Opposition was also made to Mr.. Turpie's
motion as an obstacle to the passage of
the appropriations bills, but, nevertheless,
the motion was carried by a majority of
one-52 to 81, and the Dupont case was
taken up.
It was. however, laid aside soon after
ward, under the terms of a compromise
offered by Mr.. German, by which the day
the passage of the river and harbor bin
the Dupont case is to be taken up at the
close of the routine morning business, and
is to be considered until ) O'Clock of the
following day, when the vote is to be
taken.
The river and barber bill was then
laken up, put II nad again TO give way
TO Mr.. PETERS bond resolution. The LAT
ter was laid before the Senate at 2 o'clock
as the unfinished business; and Mr. Frye,
having charge Of the river and harbor bill
moved that the Senate proceed to the
consideration of that bill The motion
was defeated by eleven Votes-2S to So
and the bond resolution was proceeded
with Mr.. Hill speaking against it until
3 o'clock, when the Senate adjourned until
