CECIL RHODES.
lie Has sharp Replies for the People
who Are Probing him.

London, Feb. aJ.-The examination OF
Cecil Rhodes by the parliamentary com
mlttee was resumed today. Several
times Rhodes attempted to justify the
raid by calling attention to the fact that
England was now In full sympathy with
the Crctans In their seeking to obtain
civil rights, whereas Il was Brltons who
sought civil rights in the Transvaal.
Rhodes declared that President Kruger
had promised To gran, popular rlghs,
but had failed to keep his promises.
In reply 70 a question by Hon. 3D.
ward Blake, Mr. Rhodes said that he
had been told that he had led Johnncs-
burg In Tor the Transvaal trouble, but
after examining the letters and tele
grams, he arrived at the conclusion that
It was rather johannesburg that led him
In.
Referring to the conversation be

of the association. OF course all of
our talent cannot be utilized, but
pains will be taken to select good
speakers from every section of the
State.
A full attendance from every coun
ty in the Commonwealth is earnestly
desired. To emphasize this desir
the Executive Committee offers fine
silk banner, made and appropriately
inscribed, to the county that produces
receipts from ticket agents of the
largest amount of railroad fare. This
will give every county an equal
chance in the competition. The
county that carries this banner home
will have something to be proud of
Each session of the association will
be opened with quotations from the
members on educational topics.
Every member will be expected to
have quotation, taken from what
ever source he or she may wish to
search for it, aud all will be given a
chance to be heard. Judges will be
selected TO determine who offers the
best quotations, and a fine Interna-
tional Dictionary will be awarded to
the member whom the committee
may select. Now let every teacher in
the State go through his or her peda
gogical library and find a Jewel.

herself proud to make the stay of her

The Democratic party in Kentuck Y
was never in better fighting trim than
it is to day. It's members are Of one
accord on the great issues Of to day,
its ranks are purged Of traitors and
its councils are purified of spies and
false leaders. In every pant Of the
State, Democrats who were deluded,
enticed or coerced into the unholy
conspiracy that lost the State last
year and the year before are return
lug to their first and only love. The
Populists almost to a man will vote
with the Democrats in county cleo
tions and the State will be redeemed
this year by an old-time majority.
That this is no idle claim is shown
by the returns in counties holding
primary elections. In Lyon, Gallo
way, Graves and many other counties
the vote was greater than the Bryan
vote of last year. In Galloway coun
ty the gain amounted to 300 votes,
sounding the death knell to Republi-
can hopes of defeating the nominees OF
the convention at Murray next week.
This judicial district will go Demo
cratic by 800 or 1000 majority.
