or and eloquence. After few words
of hearty thanks the Senator branched
out into discussion of present nation
al issues. He declared that the Gov
ernment was passing through what is
perhaps the hardest and most severe
ordeal of its history. Unless genuine
Democratic principles ultimately pre-
vailed the Government was bound to
60 under.
He expressed sympathy with Cuba
and raped the policy of Cleveland
and Olney, which elected much ap-
plause. Before quitting this popular
theme, Senator Vest briefly viewed
our Revolutionary history and declared
that If France had pursued toward us
the policy which Cleveland and olney
were trying. to force us into toward
Cuba, we would to-day be a British
province and he would be a member
of the British Parliament.
He declared, that he was going to
continue the fight for Cuban freedom,
and the crowd again yelled wildly. He
protested against the "mercenary
spirit of the age," which was trying to
make this country forget it's duty to
Cuba, and conterded that the power
of recognition rested alone in Con-
gress. Jackson had established this
principle in the case of Texas. He
ssdenied absolutely that the President
could take the exclusive function upon
himself of recognizing the freedom of
any people struggling in blood and
battle for liberty"
REPUBLICANS ARRAIGNED.
Senator Vest arraigned the Repub-
icans for their pretenses and promises
made in the last election, which they
could not live up to, and declared the
election of Mckinley was a triumph
of money over the plain people. He
denied that confidence had followed
the defeat of Bryan and pointed to
"the ghostly array of recent business
failures'' in support of his assertion.
Nor did he believe the election of Nc
Kinley would bring prosperity.
He denounced as falsehood the as
sertion that there was now in this
country 1872 per capita in circulation
and characterized it as a moss cover
ed lie that had come down from sue
cessive Secretaries OF the Treasury
He estimated the real per capita al
less than SIC, and declared there never
could be prosperity until silver was
remonetized at the ratio of 16 to 1
Those who thought that the last elec'
ton settled the monetary question
were the real lunatics. loud laugh
ter and applause.) More taxes ane
more money in the Treasury coule
not give relief.
Senator Vest dwelt with much elo
quence on the 6, SOC, 900 unpurchasabl'
voters who cast their ballots for Bry
an and repeated that the real idiot
were those who contend that the latt
election settled the money question
He predicted that the cause of silve
would triumph In 1900.

DUTY OF GOOD CITIZENSHIP,

n oOI IL OV ooOO S4xxACkN04&xs
The apparently growing sentiment
among many in this country to make
light of the laws and to be against the
government will result in serious evil
if it is not curbed; yes, stamped out.
Children who obey their parents and
have proper respect for them, obey
the laws laid down at school, and as a
general thing love and respect their
teachers. Such children should grow
into law abiding men-men who obey
the laws, not because they have to,
but because it is their duty and a
pleasure, and in obeying the laws
they respect and honor the officers Of
the law.
The authority of our officers of gov
ernment, from policeman to Presi-
dent, should be held sacred. We
should ali be jealous in our devotion
to the principles of our government
and should honor and respect those in
authority. Members of one party
should not revile and abuse the Gov
ernor or President because he was
elected by the opposition party. The
President of the United States is
President of the whole people and
not of his party alone. The Governor
of Missouri is the executive officer of
the whole people. of this State and
should be honored and respected as
such. The LEDGER does not believe
in man worship or in the divine
power of kings. An officer is SER
want of the people, but as one in
authority he must be treated with
that respect due his position. When
people lose their respect for those in
NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. they belong to
their own or the opposition party
woe unto that country and it's gov
ernment. The power comes from the
people, and that is right. When those
in authority use the power given
them-that is, enforce the laws made
by the people-they must be obeyed
and those who obey should honor and
respect those in authority, as the
children do their parents and their
teachers.
The treatment of distinguished cit
izens and high officers of the govern
ment during the last campaign was
particularly noticeable. The nomi-
nee of great party was target for
stale eggs in Chicago. The Secretary
of the Treasury was insulted and
egged in his own State. United States
Senators and other prominent citiz ems
were insulted and almost assaulted on
several occasions. OF course, only
rowdies and hoodlums could take
part in such proceedings, but it was
surprising to note how many people
winked at such disgraceful order of
things. The safety of our homes, oul
persons, our property and our gov.
ernment is threatened by such dis.
graceful and riotous proceedings.

WHISKEY FOR A SHROUD.
A Kentuckian to Be Buried in q Stone
Coffin Filled With Corn Juice.

CYNTHIANA, KY, Jan. 3.-Charles
Bramlette, aged so years, died January
End. He owned several farms in Har-
rison county and had been prosper
GUS business man all his life. At low
estimate he was worth 100000. He
was peculiar in nothing but his ideas
of his own burial. He was great
reader, and perhaps drew his notions
from the history of ancient Egypt. At
any rate, wherever he may have OBJ
tanned them, his directions regarding
his burial were unique.
About Is years ago he hired skill
full stonemason to make a sarcophagus
of blue Kentucky lime stone, which is
more durable than the hardest mar
BILE. At the same time he bought a
barrel of the best old Bourbon the
State could produce, and ordered that
at his death the whiskey should be
poured upon his body after it was
placed in the stone coffin. The sar-
cophagus was then to be hermetically
sealed and placed in grave near his
residence. All his directions have
been followed to the letter and he is
to be buried tomorrow. 1t will take
a number of horses to carry his body
in its heavy receptacle to the grave
already waiting for it. Mr.. Bramlette
was a constant imbiber of apple
brandy and never left his house with
out flask full in his pocket, although
he never seemed intoxicated.

One thing is certain: It will not do
to fool with a bad cold. No one can
tell what the end will be. Pneumonia,
catarrh, chronic bronchitis, if not
consumption, invariably result from a
cold. 1t is surprising, too,
that bad colds are 80 often neglected
when one remembers how easily and
at what little expense they may be
cured. Chamberlain's Cough Remedy
is always prompt and effectual, and
costs but a trifie; 25 or so cents is a
trifie as compared with the disas-
trous effects of a neglected cold. Mr..
Abner Mercer, of Dilworthtown,C ,Ches-
ter County, Pa, in speaking of this
remedy, said: "Some time ago I had
a bad cold and cough. I tried almost
everything. Finally Mr.. Hunt, the
