The Breckenridge news. (Cloverport, Ky.) 1876-1955, 1897-07-14

The circulating medium most needed
in Breckenridge county is the medium
OF good county roads. And to fully real
ize the want OF them a man has TO make
a tour of the county. Let him jump of
OF the Hardinsburg pike on to the dirt
roads beyond and he sees and feels what
a difference there is. The wonder is
how farmers living distance OF ten or
fifteen miles from railroad stations have
the heart to tackle them. How they
ever pick up courage to even start to
market with their produce, let alone
get there is mystery to us. Good coun-
ty roads is what we need and must have
II we ever hope to be a prosperous COM
munity.

A Wife's Tribute.

In loving remembrance of Beavin
Tucker, who departed this life June 81,
1897, aged 70 years and four days. He
was a man we'll liked by all who knew
him and was ever ready to lend a help
ing hand TO the poor.
He whom IloYed so well
Is in his long, long sleep.
Yet try not to lament him
For he told me not to weep.
More dear to him the grave,
Than could ever be.
For though go to him
He cannot come TO me.
envy not the grave,
What yesterday was mine,
But bow my head and say,
Keep him he is Thine.

IT'S the unity of localities through the
medium OF good roads that make com
munities prosperous. Railroads bring
towns and cities in closer relations. They
facilitate closer commercial relations
They bring the producer and the con-
sumner nearer together and stimulate bus
mess. Just 80 with county roads. If a
farmer has good road to travel over he
goes more, he produces more, and as he
makes more he buys more and 80 it goes.

The South for Farmers.
From the New ORLEANS Picayune.

From the New ORLEANS Picayune.
AS to the rich lands of the southern
states, they will not be filled up with
young men from the cities, but by farmers
from the old states or from those retreat
ing from the harsh and severe climate of
the northwest. Those are the people who
have for several years been coming into
Louisiana. They are escaping from the
wind-swept plains of several of the north
western states, and are realizing that it is
just as easy to grow rice cotton and sweet
potatoes in the gulf states as it was to
make wheat and rye in the states d couple
of thousand miles north, while the ease
and comfort of living in the south are of
themselves sufficient inducements to at
tract emigrants from a region where they
are engaged every year in many months
of struggle with the rude forces of winter
There is going to be a steady flow of pop
ulation to the rich lands of the south but
it will not be made up of young men from
the cities. They will live on their friends,
or by their wits, and loaf on street corners
and undergo many more hardships; bul
they will not work on farms. The agrcul-
tural country of the northwest is largely
occupied by farmers from Germany, Dem
mark, Norway and Sweden, and other

The Hnwniinn., Real Danger.

From the San Francisco Chronicle
The real danger to the Hawaiians is not
from annexation, but from its defeat. This
comes about because under .independence ,,
the Asiatics would continue to enter the is
lands. and as they are a superior race of
limitless numbers they would crowd the
kanakas to the wall. In fact they have
already begun to. Who raise the taro
now? The Chinese. who catch the FISH?
The Chinese. Who cultivate the bananas !?
The Chinese Who till the cane fields and
pick the coffee bean? The Japanese Who
keep the stores and do the small trading?
The Chinese and Japanese combined. These
two races also do the Homework. of the
whites. In few years more under indie
pepdence," especially with a native
monarchy in power. Hawaii would be so
overrun with Asiatics that the Kanaka
would become a beggar in his own land
what the hairy Ainu became in Japan after
the little brown man had seized his patri-
mony. There is but one way to escape this
yellow plague and it is to supersede Ha-
waiian laws and treaties with the laws and
treaties of the United States Once an
nexaton comes the influx of As.atics must
stop. and. what is more, the contract labor
ers, when their time is up, will have to
leave the islands and return home, not to
be replaced from foreign sources. Instead
of vast plantations there will be co-opera-
dive cane farms at which the kanaka, if
ne wants work. will be able to find it, Is
not that with all which is implied of pro-
lection, justice and prosperity, a more de-
sirable status for Hawaiians than anything
which this m.scalled independence" could
offer him?
To give the natives what they ask is to
do the same injustice to them that would
sire for something that Would do doe' them e1
harm. AS inhabitants .iand perhaps citi-
zens of a territorys, of 5nthe United States
the Hawaiians would possess the same
liberty that other Americans enjoy, and in
the long run would have cause to cele-
brate the day of their admission to the
body polite of this great power as that of
their escape from a sub1nergence and their
arrival on safe ground. 81

The Progress Of Whist.
From the Kansas City star.

From the Kansas City Star. =.
1t is not generally known by the de-
voices of whist thatIthere was a time when
1t was not considered a mt diversion for re-
spectacle people. Whist is now regarded
as essentially the intellectual, If not the
aristocratic game Of cards Before the adj
vent of Hoyle 1t was differently estimated.
To employ the language Of an authority of
that period 1t was "a .verie alehouse game"
played exclusively in the servants hall and
the stable and was the special delight Of
the gamblers and trtcksters. To quote
again. 1t was a game in which your cum
ming gamester'' INDUCED and in the play of
which The was always studying new inven-
ton to deceive the ignorant" Its first step
into the countenanee of the better class
was Its admission to the parlors of the
country squires in England, who played
whisk. smoked tobacco and drank fat ale
But for long time after this period it was
regarded as vulgar by the quality and until
the end of the first quarter of the eigh-
teenth century was excluded from all favor
by the upper crust.
About IT'S some gentlemen habitues of the
Crown coffee house, Bedford row. London
began the scientific study of the game, and
in 1142, when HOyle's publication appeared,
whist became sort of craze and such
games as quadrille. ombre, piquet and bas-
set. then in high popular favor, were OBJ
scured by this new star in the card firma-
ment. Schools were established for teach
ing the game and Hoyle himself offered to
give private instructions to members of the
nobility at s. lesson. Lord Stun wrote to
friend about this time: II have Joined
twelve companies in the Mall. and eleven of
them were talking of it, and Hoyle re-
marked. lat this instant dozen dukes and
as many lords and ladies are waiting for
me. Between you and me, they are all
under tutilage at st. James" In 1743 Hor-
ace Walpole, Earl of Oxford, in letter to
Sir Horace Mann, wrote that whist had
stretched its wand over him and added
Il am trying to set up the noble game of
bilbo-quet over it." But neither condemna-
ton nor ridicule would serve to dislodge it
from its place in popular favor.
Early in the beginning of the nineteenth
century the rage for card playing which
had marked the previous period diminished,
and in 1887 a scandal growing out of a
game of whist at Graham's Club turned
public sentiment against that form of card
playing, and the books on it were con-
demned as the devils books" But be-
tween 1860 and 1865 1t was revived in Eng
land and soon after became the fad in this
country, where it became known as the di-
version Of the brainy people. In 1871 the
first whist league in this country was FORM
ed in Milwaukee and now there are clubs
In nearly every town and all the cities, and
a congress which is made up of represen-
tatfves of all of them, and meets annually
at one place or another. At these meet
ings tournaments are held and prizes are
awarded.

BIG LOSS TO- GOVERNMENT
Board of Appraisers Decision Regarding tht
New Tariff Bill.
Did Not Become Effective Until Presi.
dent Signed It-Must Refund
Large Sum.

Unless the courts reverse the board Of
general appraisers, importers whose goods
were entered at customs house On Satur
day, July "a, before the signing of the
tariff act, will be able to collect from the
government the extra duties-amounting
to, perhaps, $3O0.O00-they were compelled
to pay a result Of the governments
claim that the tariff was retroactive, and
that it took effect on the earliest possible
moment of the day on which 1t was signed.
The board yesterday sustained the pro-
tests of the importers against the position
taken by the government. and instructed
collectors of customs to reiquidate the
entries accordingly.
The opinion of the board was written by
General Appraiser Somerville. formerly as
Sociate justice of the supreme court of
Alabama. The specific case on which the
decision Vas based was an importation of
wool by Stoddari, Haserick, Richards &
Co. of Boston. The wool was entered for
consumption during the forenoon Of July
a. and permits OF delivery from the col
lector and naval officer We're at once placed
in the hands of the importers stamped
Free, under the provisions Of paragraph
$50 of the tariff act of 1894, which placed
in the free list all imported wool. The
entries were afterwar1 liquidated by the
collector, SO as 20 classify and assess the
wool for duty under paragraph :.51, sched-
ule K, of the tariff act of July "A. 1897.
which levied a duty of IL cents per pound
oil imported wool of class 1.
Judge Somerville after weighing the ar
gumcnts Of the importers and of the gov
eminent, reaches the following conclusions :
!. That the tariff act of July ~, 1897, did
not become operative as 4 law until six
minutes after o'clock pm. of said day,
when ii was approved by the President.
2. That it was not operative by relation
on any previous hour of the day, but that
the tariff act of August %, 1884, remained
unrepealed and in force until the Lrecise
moment when said act of July 81, 1897,
was approved.
3. That goods imported and entered for
consumption in the forenoon of said July
"A, 1897 Cor at any hour prior 20 the time of
approval of said acO, would be governed
as to classification and rates of duty by
the tariff act Of 1894 and not by said act
of 1897.
