Gov. Bradley has made himself
ridiculous by appointing his daughter
to christen the new battle ship Ken
tucky, and at the same time has stir
red up regular hornets nest. II de-
velops that the sponsor is always
uamed by the Secretary of the Navy
and not by the Governor Of the State
hlnnred. Usually a young lady is
chosen from the State after which the
ship is named, and about year ago
Secretary Herbert selected Miss Har-
riet b. Richardson, of Lexington,
Ky, a sister.in.law of Col. j. h. For.
ney, of the Marine Service, to chris
ten the Kentucky. 1t was announced
at the the time,and it was also stated
that Miss Richardson would use
bottle of whisky composed of
spoonful from all we'll known Ken
tucky whiskies, to christen the vessel.
Connected with this statement,
the appointment OF Miss Richardson
went the entire rounds of the
press. The launching was de.
layed and Secretary Herbert is no
longer IN Office, but Miss Richardson
claims the right to act by virtue Of
an official appointment and has pub
lished a card setting forth her claims.
L may be necessary for Secretary
Long to formally revoke the order of
his pred C ssor and himself appoint
Miss Bradley, if the Governors wishes
are to be carried out. Just now Gov.
Bradley is being laughed at for the
break be made, and public sentiment
is with Miss Richardson, in spite of
her foolish proposal to disgrace the
State by breaking a bottle Of whisky
over the new battle ship,

The Supreme Court has rendered
a decisi on that knocks the last prop
from under the Kentucky lottery,
that has for 80 many years given
steady employment to Jno. g. Car.
Isle. Mr.. Carlisle has been the paid
attorney Of the company throughout
almost the whole of his pablic life,
even while a member of the cabinet.
The fight against the lottery was be.
gun in the Legislature by Senator
Geobel, who has fought it to a finish
in the courts. This lottery had its
origin in an act of the city council Of
Frankfort many years ago, created to
run by its terms until the profits
arising therefrom should yield hun
dred thousand dollars, which was 10
be expended in a school building.
After few years Louisville parties
bought the franchise for 100000, but
the stipulations were sucAthat the last
payment should not be made until
1915. Ithas continued to run ever
since and has yielded millions to its
owners, who we're able to employ the
ablest of lawyers to resist its sup.
preston.

"Bayonet Bill" is at his old tricks
aud has ordered out the standing
army of the State, or part of it, to
guard the toll-gates of JessAmine
county. OF course there will be no
disturbance at the gates that are
guarded, but the raiders will simply
transfer their violence to some other
gate. This is an easy matter as long
as there are more toll-gates in the
State than there are soldiers.

The Austrian Reichstag witnessed
some very turbulent scenes this week,
almost equal to the proceedings of
the last kentucky Legislature. The
dispatches do not make it altogether,
clear, but the confusion is supposed 10
have been started by an attempt on
the part Of one of the members to
pronounce the name of the presiding
officer, Chevalier Won Abrahamovics.

Hers are some extracts from an
editorial in Mondays Courier journal
from which il appears that nothing
short Of rigorous quarantine car
keep il out of the Democratic party
"Indeed tie idea Of maintaining an
organization which has shown itself
10 be so wanting in every essential
element OF strength except disin-
terested purpose aud gOod Intention
seems to as very like what would
have been the attitude OF brigade
in Lees army repudiating Apo
mattox aud setting up on its own ac-
count to maintain free Government,
under the impression that Lees sur.
render had left it's friends no other
courses.
Tested in 1886 in the Nation, and
in 1897 in a few of the States, though
notably and conclusively in Ken
tuck, the sound money organization,
which took the name of the National
Democracy, showed itself both an
illusion aud a snare. The instinct OF
the voters proved wiser than the
Judgment OF their leaders.
The Courier Journal is as re.
sponsible as, perhaps more respon.
slble than, any other agency for all
these things. 1t admits its response
bility. But refuses longer to deceive
itself against such an array Vt facts;
and, yielding none Of the principles
at stake, it is not willing TO deceive
anybody else, either friend or foe.
The Courier Journal is aDemocrat
not Republican; and it will under
no circumstances or conditions pur.
sue policy whose only effect is to
continue the Republican party in
power"
Mr.. Watterson has anxiety enough,
but not quite enough penitence. 1t
will do no good to acknowledge error
without yielding" the cause of sin.
What he needs, is sack-cloth and
ashes.

Struck by the St. Croix.

In the fog Friday night, while the
steamer St. Croix was proceeding east
ward, near Seguin, suddenly small
schooner was sighted almost directly in
her path. The pilot rang the bell to stop,
but the schooner was so near that the
Roadway of the steamer could not be
checked. The steamer struck the schoon-
er glancing blow forward, which took
off the bowsprit clean and shattered the
PROV to some extent. 1t was narrow
escape for the schooner, which reeled and
trembled with the blow. If the steamer
had struck the schooner few inches
farther back, she must have gone to the
bottom at once The steamer was not
injured in the least and proceeded on her
way, after ascertaining that no serious
damage had been done to the schooner.
The schooner was the Uncle Joe, Capt.
Brigham. After the accident she pro-
ceeded under mainsail and foresail, to-
wards Portland and arrived outside Sat
urday morning. A tug brought her in.
1t will cost several hundred dollars to
make the necessary repairs

A New Complication in the Eastern
Situation

HConstantinople, June 5.-At the meet
ing between the ambassadors of the Pow
ers and the Turkish minister for foreign
affairs, Tewfik Pasha, on Thursday last,
at the Tophane palace, Sir Philip Currie
the British ambassador, NJ Cambon,
the French ambassador, and Signor
Pansa, the italian ambassador, it now
appears made distinct declaration
against the retrocession of Thessaly to
Turkey. This attitude of the three am
bassadors named is regarded as being of
the highest political Importance in view
of the fact that since the Czars telegram
to the Sultan there has been a marked
approachment between Russia and Ger
many. Here the opinion is expressed
that the indications point to q resusita-
ton of the league of the three emperors,
if that league is not already an accom-
plished fact.
