Fitzpatrick Grows Flowery.

"The coal in the Big Sandy region
Is the finest in the world" said
Congressman Fitzpatrick. Of Ken
lucky. 81 got the Government to
send corps Of engineers down
there to inspect it, but they came
back after taking look at it. They
said they we're afraid OF getting
mixed up with the Hatfield-Mc-
Coy feud. That Is all stuff. You
could go to the home OF Hatfield
tomorrow and he would take you
in and treat you like gentleman.
Mccoy would do the same thing.
The sight Of Hatfield to a Mccoy
or a Mccoy is Hatfield is like a
red flag to bull. but a stranger l.
always welcome. The mountain
GERS Of Kentucky are the finest
people in the world. They breathe
the pure atmosphere, drink the
water as it comes sparkling from
he mountain tops, eat plain food,
live in the open air and take plenty
of exercise. Their eyes are as
bright and clear as the dew drops
which sparklefn the hearts OF their
native flowers. The blood which
courses through their veins is as
pure as the air they breathe. They
are big,.. brawny stalwart men.
Their hearts are as big as their
bodies. They are strangers to the
vice and tainting influences Of the
cities. Many OF them are unedu-
Gated, yet among them you will
find natures noblemen. The noun
tanners are the most slandered
people In the South. If a man is
looking for a fight he can always
find it, but there are no better folk,
none more kindly hearted, none
more ready to help a friend than
these same people. Door locks are
unknown, the latch string always
hangs on the outside, and the stran-
ger, unless he be revenue officer,
is always Washington
Post.

ANNEXATION OF HAWAII.

"Savoyord," writing from Wash
iugton about the proposed annexa-
tlon Of the Hawaiian Island by the
United States, first states the argn-
ment in favor OF it, and then give
his reason against it.
''There are the coffee fields and
he sugar plantations. We need
them. They are profitable. We
will take them. There are 10000
people in the Hawaiian Islands
and only about 5000 Americans
There are $1,000 japanese, $4,000
Chinese, 1900 Portuguese. There
are 10000 natives. There are a lot
Of South Sea Islanders, and, it is
said, there are more lepers than
Americans. This layout is to be
clothed with American citizenship.
The cheapest labor in the world is
to come in competition with the
best paid labor in the world. Be
fore 1898 is a month old the Lodge
bill restricting immigration from
Europe, Caucasian Europe will be
law but the Japs and coolies OF
Hawaii are to be welcomed. And
all for the further enrichment OF
sugar kings whose wealth now
beggars the dreams OF avarice."
