IN KENTUCKY.

All the indications are that the SEN
atorial situation i'm Kentucky is con-
trolled by men who are in the service
of the Cleveland administration to the
extent that they will see Senator
Blackburn defeated in any event. To
that end, II is probable that some of
the republican members of the legisla-
ture will be turned to account. if resort
to them is found necessary.
While 1t is not easy to draw
conclusions or to predict results in
Kentucky. yesterdays remarks at
Frankfort are a broad hint that the
joint session will raise the honest
money" cry at the instant when that
style of conduct may be turned to good
account toward the election of Mr..
Carlisle. That plan failing, it need not
surprise the country were the demo-
Gratis to share in the election of any
republican who meets the administra-
tion's needs and who, when he goes TO
Washington, will serve the administra-
tion's purposes.
Recent votes in the national senate
are a revelation of President Cleve-
lands astonishing weakness there.
Last November. for the purpose of
serving the president. Mr.. Carlisle did
what he could TO give the state govern
ment in Kentucky TO the republicans.
The election of a Kentucky republican
to the Office Of federal senator would
really be the logical result of the polit-
ical upturning that was started then
under administration auspices.
In word, Mr.. Blackburn must pay
the penalty for having refused to bend
10 the administrators Will II 1t be-
comes necessary to defeat Kentucky
democracy in order TO insure the pun
ishment of Blackburn, the administra-
ton will not scruple to punish the
party. That happened in Maryland,
and II is likely TO happen in Kentucky.

Mrs. Annie L. Hutto, wife of John
V. Hutto, was born September 30,
1871, and died near Swansea June
%, 1896. She connected herself
with the Sardis Baptist church in
her girlhood and lived henceforth a
bright and earnest Christian life.
The beauty of her character shone
brightly in her happy home. Ener-
getic, industrious, kindly, watchful
and loving she ministered constantly
and carefully to the necessities and
comforts Of her devoted husband and
her two bright little girls; discharg-
ing faithfully and pleasingly the du
ties of wife and mother.
The large concourse of sorrowing
friends who gathered around her
grave and the many garlands which
were tenderly placed on the casket
by loving hands were confrmatise
only of truth we'll known before
that she had host of warm friends.
No words save those of praise were
ever spoken of Annie, and no words
of praise were spoken which were
not we'll earned by her upright
Christian walk.
A little babe, a few hours old at her
death, has since gone home to her
mothers arms. In the desolate home
are left grief striken husband and
charming little girls, while the whole
community mourns the departure OF
pure and lovely Christian woman.
On the very threshold Of life, happy
in the epjoyments of its comforts,
all her simple taste and desires fully
gratifed, with a bright and hopeful
future, the summons came "come up
higher" We don't know why, we
don't want to known why. 1t is
enough to realize that she has been
translated to the beautiful Land"
and there, with bliss unalloyed,
awaits the coming of the loved ones
left behind.
Leaving behind her the halo OF a
pure Christian life, she wears now an
angels's robe and on her quiet peace
full head has been placed the diadt m
the Redeemer.
"Oh why should our tears run down,
Our hearts severely river,
For another gem in the Savicur's
crown,
Another star in heaven.

ent at the barbecue at Batesburg on

duced the candidates in his own in

spoke as follows: Hon. J. VIM. Stokes,

didates present who desired TO make

position. Thus ended the 4th of
July in Lexington county so far as
public demonstrations are concerned.
