With the relations existing be
tween a Senator and his constitu,
ency this body has generally no
concern. But there are except Jana
cases in which u Senator may be
justified in calling attention to
transactions, semi official in their
character, which, if left uneXp!ain-
Jed, might create the Impression
THAT he stands officially charged
with conduct which woald render
him unworthy of IA seat upon this
floor, and an unfit associate for his
fellow Senators.
l hold in my hand a paper pur-
porting to be an official copy of a
resolution recently adopted by the
two Houses of the Kentucky Gen
eral Assem- bly,, and which it is due
to myself and to the Senate, shall
be fully understood. / send it to

To THE Fiscal COURT AGAIN
The county debt of about $4,000
is bearing interest at 6, Z and pei
cent, averaging about Z per cent,
costing the county some 50, ,450 pei
year interest. $60,000's worth of
bonds lawfully issued could be
hoated without trouble at 4 per
cent. interest, costing 81, 400 per
year, or $50 less than the present
Indebtedness. The economy of the
bond issue is plainly apparent.
Other counties that voted similarly
ito Bath for bond issue for freeing
furnpikes of toll could find no pur-
thaser for the bonds SO issued be-
cause of their illegality. Ash said
before, caution is urged. BE sure
you are right before you act.

: the action of the Kentucky Legis
lature, and an attempt by certain
members of that body to abridge i
is the assertion of II right which
does not exist, and could not exist
without imperiling the independ
ence Of this great branch of III,
Federal Legislature.
Resolutions emanating from State
Legislatures touching matters
pending in the Federal Congress
are entitled To most respectful con-
sideration. and always receive it;
but they cannot determine the duty
of Senator or relieve him from the
responsibility Of his position. His
judgment and conscience are at
last to guide his conduct.
am Il Senator from Kentucky,
but / am also Senator for the
United States. In questions local
to Kentucky, ! am always ready to
serve her interests to the best of
my ability, consistent with the OBJ
legations of honesty and fair deal
ing, and regardful of the Limitations
of the Constitution.
When great public interests, af
fecting alike every portien of the
Union, are to be acted upon, they
are to be considered from the
standpoint of the broadest patriot
ism. and this propose to do, no
matter who may condemn my ac-
tion or who approve it. There are
occasions when conside ratioms or
local favor and party discipline
must, for the time, give way, and
if a Senator who acts upon that
principle is to be driven from his
place by his State Legislature
whenever he may contravene local
sentiment, or temporary passion,
the dignity of the Senate will soon
be thing of the past.
A scrupulous regard for the di-
vision of powers between the State
and Federal Governments and the
observance of the boundary
line which separates those powers,
is cardinal doctrine of jefferson
ian Democracy; yet we have here
the spectacle of controlling ma
jOrity of State Legislature boldly
Dverstepping that line of demarca-
tion and demanding that / shall
my commission, because,
in their estimation, / have ceased
TO be Democrat. Ignorant of the
underlying principles of the his
.oric Democratic party, or else re-
,ardless of their obligation to OBJ
serve those principles, their right
o impeach my Democracy, or to
,ut upolr me. the defence of my
'ecord as a Democrat, I utterly and
absolutely repudIate.

proper to say, and with these re-
marks / dismiss the so called legis-
ative request for my resignation.

My DEAR NEPHEW: l haven
sent We letther since the last tim
l wrote to ye, bekase we have movet
from our former place of livin' ant
1 didn't know where a letlhe
would find ye; but l now wit pleas
ure tax up my pin to inform ye o.
the death of yer own livin' uncle
Ned Fitzpatrick, who died very
suddenly "a few days ago afther 4
lingerin' illness of six weeks.
The poor fellow was in convul
sions the whole time of his sick
ness, lyin' perfectly quiet and en-
tirely speerhless--all the while
talkin' incoherently, and cryin' for
wather. / had no opportunity OF
informin' ye of his death sooner,
except 1 wrote to ye by the last
post, which same went off two days
before he died and then ye would
have postage to pay.
am at a loss to tell what his
death was occasioned by, but 1 fear
it was his last sickness, for he was
nevir well ten days togither the
whole of his confinement; and /
believe his death was brought about
by his atm to much of rabbit
stuffed with pals and gravy, or pals
and gravy stuffed with rabbit; but
be that as it may, when he brathed
his last his docthur gave up all
hope of his recovery. l needn't tell
ye anything about his age, for ye
we'll know that in June next he
would have been just sevinty-five
years old lackin' ten months, and
had he lived until that time he
would have been just six months
dead.
His property now devolves his
next of kin, which all died some
time ago. so that l expect it will
be divided between us; and ye
know his property, which was very
large, was sold to pay his debts,
and the remainder he lost at
horse race; but it was the opinion
of everybody at the time he would
have won the race, if the baste he
run against hadn't been too fast
for hIm.
Iniver saw a man in all me life,
and the dOcthurs all said so, that
observed directions or took med
icine better than he did. He said
he would as leve drink bitter as
sweet if it only had the same taste,
and ipecakana as whisky punch, if
it would only put him in the same
humor for fightin'.
But. poor soul! he will niver eat
or dhrink any more, and ye haven't
u livin' relation in the world except
meself and yer two cousins who
we're kilt in the last war. i can not
dwell ON the mournful subject any
longer, and shall sale me letter
with black salin- wax, and put it in
yer uncle's coat-of-arms. So l beg
We not to break sale when ye open
the letther, and don't open it until
two or three days afther ye resave
this, and by that time ye will be
prepared for the sorrowful tidings.

ToBAcco REPORT. - EXPRESSLY
FOR The OUTLOOK BIZ J. S. PHELPs d
Co., PLANTERS WAREHoUsE.--Lou-
isville, KY, Feb. 12, 1S9S.-Receipts
this week have been very light, but
sales have been moderately large.
Our market has been very active
and strong on all desirable tobacco.
One large factory, whose buyer has
been rather Indifferent for the past
three weeks, was a very strong bid
der on all good aud fine heavy
bodied leaf when the character was
decided. The record for the year
was advanced $3.50 per hundred, a
smooth bright red hid. from
Spencer county selling on Friday
at $26 per hundred. We sold the
same day several hhds. between $40
and $2l per hundred. Our notion
is that all heavy bodied leaf above
$l7 brought more money this week
than it has done in the past three
or four. The common and medium
Neaf selling between $40 and $l4
have been very active all the week,
but we cannot see any change over
last weeks prices. The thin
bright lugs selling around $40 and
$ll seem to us a shade stronger,
but they are still selling lower pro-
Lportionately than any other kind of
tobacco.
On Tuesday the offerings of CON-
mon Old Burley were very full, and
We thought prices eased off some
rom the figures that ruled last
week. This checked the large Of
Fferings, and the few hhds. that ap-
peared later in the week sold much
better. Very little good to inc Old
leaf is being offered. Prices for
such are still much below the views
of holders, though they have shown
a steady Improvement for the past
few weeks.
In Dark tobacco the offerings
have been a little more liberal this
week. Everything with merit and
length sold we'll. The common, non-
descript leaf, lugs and trash still
seem very low to us. The demand
| for these sorts is very limited.
