Senator Farris' proposition To put
Rockcastlc into the 18th Congressional
district is move In the right direc-
tion, a. that district is hopelessly re-
publican and the move will increase
democratic chances in the sth district,
thereby insuring the election OF Gov.
McCreary In 1898.

IL il very gratifying 10 the many
friends OF Miss Christine Bradley here
Ia her native city to learn that she has
been appointed 10y Secretary Long 10
christen the "Kentucky,' u new mar
of-war. The honor was bestowed where
II properly belongs and was given TO
one of the most elegant and lovely
young ladies In the nation, possessed
by nature Of the highest and purest
traits OF her sex and being highly cul-
tured.
Messrs. a. ID. Ford, James Elmorc
aud George T. Higginbotham consti-
tute the committee, sent out by the iis-
cal court, To fix value on the turn
pike roads. They are progressing nice
liz with the work and will bc ready 10

their estimate will meet the approval
OF all parties concerned, aud that the
roads will soon belong To the county.
There are only two entries, Messrs.
T.. W. Harris and w. X. Shugars, In
the race for the post-oiiice and they are
both confident of success. There may
be dark horses and such are mentioned
and considering personal influence and
political claims, IL is hard Ia tell who
will get the prize. One OF the aspir-
ants claims direct promise from the
official who will control the appoint
ment, aud he is not IA man who goes
back on promises.
The message OF President Mckinley
is replete with good things for the few
and Is monstrOus poor reading for the
many. The powers OF certain corpora
lions are enlarged, the trusts are al
lowed To 90 unmolcstcd aud everything
is recommended that should not be.
His civil service views are not endors-
ed by his own party. He congratulates
Congress on account OF the fclicitous
conditions under which its meeting Oc-
ours, when, in fact, the country is in
the midst OF panic, brought about by
vicious legislation against the masses,
and prosperity exists nowhere except
among the fostered and protected trusts
and corporations. He writes very
good history of the Cuban war and
fails to offer any comfort for the OPP
pressed island. He favors currency re-
form, but fails To express on the
financial question except to hope for
international bimetallism. 1t is doc
ument devoid OF that clear and indie
pendent manner of expression and sug-
gestion, which should characterize the
chief executive Of "A great nation.
