Ex-Mayor George D. Todd, Of
Louisville, has announced himself
as candidate for the Republican
nomination for Congress in the
Fifth District. Hon. Walter Evans
thought he had a walk over for the
nomination and Todd's action, it
is said, came in the nature Of a
surprise to even his own immedi-
ate frinds. Mr.. Todd's announce
ment has caused no small stir in the
Republican camp and a mighty eff
fort is being made to frost his boom
before it gathers much strength.

The appointment by the Presi
dent of Algernon Sartoris and
Fitzhugh Lee, jr., to be first Lieu,
tenants in the army has been re,
ceived with general satisfaction by
the people of all sections. The
one is a grandson of Gen. U. S.
Grant and the other grand-neph,
ew Of Gen. r. E. Lee. Each has a
great reputation to sustain and it
is believed neither will do anything
to bring discredit upon his illus
trious kinsman.

The Black Diamond Survey.

The corps Of engineers are now at
work about sixty miles south of this
place, on the head waters OF the War
Fork of Station Camp creek in Jack
son county. They have found much
cheaper and better line, SO far, than
they expected to get through that sec
ton. The survey, after leaving this
county, follows Somerset Fork OF
Hinkston creek, crosses the @. 81 o.
near Prewitt, about 3 miles west of
Mt. Sterling; thence by ADderson's
race track, Levee, Clay City and Ir-
vine, crossing the kentucky river
about 600 feet above the mouth Of Sta
ton Camp creek. 1t then follows
Station Camp creek to its head. From
that point 1t will go by way of Man
chester and Barboursville to Jellico.
There remains about rs miles OF
line to survey. When this is done, all
field work north of the Tennessee line
will have been completed. In the
meantime work in the Office at Gym
thiana, on the estimates, maps and
profiles, is being pushed as rapidly as
possible. The estimates are complet-
ed on the Columbus branch from Do
yer to Cynthiana, and from Client to
Sharpsburg about one-half is finished.
1t is intended to rush this work, so
that after the engineers reach the
Tennessee line, few days only will
be required to complete the surveys.
The rights of way are being Sc
cured ON the Dover branch, and the
rights of way maps are finished for
the main line from the Ohio river to
the crossing of the G. q 0. near Mt.
Sterling, and in few days repre-
sentative of this company will begin
IN this line taking them up.
The line as located touches its first
'oal 81 miles south of this place.--The
Bath County World, May 20.

after exhausting remonstrance the
Government resorted to measures
that have pretty efectually cut of
the supply of wildly sensational

THE GOVERNORS BAD
BREAK.

Governor Bradley has refused
the application Of the Sheriff o.
Graves county for requisition on
the Governor or Illinois for Bob
Blanks, negro who brutally as
saulted little white girl. In his
refusal the Governor says:
THE wholesale slaughter of ne
groeS by mobs in Graves county
and the failure to punish their
nurderers, satisfies me that to
have this man sent back there
would be to have him sent to his
death, and that he could not OBJ
tain even a semblance Of a fair
trial. If guilty he deserves death,
but punishment should be inflicted
by law and not by mob. l de-
cline to issue the requisition.
"W. o. BRADLEY. "
The people Of Graves county
may be guilty of all that Governor
Bradley charges. We will not
call in question the truth Of the
grave charges the Governor brings
against the citizens of that county.
But if they are true, let US ask,
does that justify Governor Brad
ley in refusing to give the law
the majesty of which the Execu-
tive is sworn to uphold-an op-
portunity to punish a wretch gull
ty Gf he should be so proven) Of
the blacklist crime on our statute
books To our thinking the Gov
ernor is only doing that which will
make Judge Lynch the more de-
termined to sit upon a case Of this
sort before the Chief Executive Of
the State has an opportunity to
interfere. his action on the part
of the Governor smacks ola grand
stand play before the negro voter,
who at the last general election
exhibited too plain an inclination
to vote as he pleased. Let his
spring Of action be what it may,
the decision of the Chief Execu-
tive calls for the severest condem-
nation. 1t is positively without
excuse. He has the whole au-
thority Of the State of Kentucky
at his back and, if he had cared to
do so, could have defended Blanks
against all chance Of mob violence.
Governor Bradley by this action
writes himself more a criminal
than the people he SO severely ar
raiOnS

I'm a late sojourn in Honduras" says
a traveller, Il came to the conclusion
that it was a paradise for lazy men.
Everything grows luxuriantly with but
little labor on the part of the natives.
and many crops do not need replanting
more than once in eight or ten years.
The country offers fine inducements to
enterprising men, but it is hard on a
white man used to civilized ways to
30 down there and dwell among an
Ignorant lot of natives who are 100
years behind the times. A man would
have no congenial society, and might
as well be an exile. The natives usual
ly live in bamboo houses, though in the
towns the dwellings are of adobe. Chill
dIen go naked for the first two or
three years Of their life, and the attire
of the adults Is rather scant. The Gov
ernment is liberal with concessions in
order to encourage development of the
country's resources, but there is no
general rule governing the granting of
privileges; it all depends on how good
bargain may be driven. The climate
Is very salubrious, and laziness is about
the only prevailing disease"

what Opium Costs.

San Francisco is the banner port of
this country for the importation of
opium for smoking purposes. The i'm
portation last year aggregated 121, ,4O1
pounds, and the duty of SO per pound
amounted to $723,4O6. The drug was
in the form prepared exclusively for
smoking, and is not available for other
uses. 1t comes in half-pound boxes,
put up very much like spices and pep
per. 1t is dark brown, sticky sub
stance, like New Orleans molasses in
appearance. All smoking opium comes
from China. The drug in its medicinal
form is imported from Turkey.
