PermanenCy the Most Vital COnsid-
Grafton.

In view of the proposed effort to
have the next Legislature make
some provision for a new capitol the
remarks of the historian, Butler, are
now peculiarly pertinent. In his
valuable history of Kentucky, writ
ten about sixty-five years ago, he
speaks of the plan adopted by the
first Legislature to fix upon site for
the seat of government as follows:
San appointment of Commission
ers for selecting seat of government
"a matter Of great jealousy and con-
tention between the people of the
opposite sides of the Kentucky river),
was then made by the House of Rep
reseptatives, agreeably to the Consti-
tuition, by nominating 81 persons
from the delegations from the coun-
ties of Mercer and Fayette, and al
ternately striking off one until five
gentlemen were left. These were
Robert Todd, John Edwards, John
Allen, Henry Lee and Thomas Ken
nedy, any three of whom might fix
the capital. A majority OF the COM
missiOners met soon after their APP
pointment and fixed on Frankfort as
the proper place, which, most hap
PLY for the State, required concur
renee of two-thirds Of each branch of
the Legislature to change to any
other point.
"The perfect eligibility of any place
as a seat Of government is a subor-
dinate consideration to its perma-
hence. No spot can furnish the ac-
cOmmOdations and conveniences Of
which it might otherwise he capable
(and which are so much required at
a seat Of legislatiOn), when the con-
tinuance of the government is held
in suspense, and liable to be changed

Burnside Excursions.

The good excursion steamer Burn
side has been thoroughly Overhauled
and painted until she is spick and
span as clean as new pin.
She has been running delightful
excursions, which have been largely
patrOnized, especially that Of Friday
night. The moon shOne bright and
clear all the way and rendered it pos
sible 10 see the magnificent scenery
Of the up river, and, with the cooling
breezes, revived dropping humanity,
which had been sweltering all day in
the terrific heat.

themselves ubiquitous in their efforts

Deafness Cannot Be Cured

BY local applications as they cannot
reach the diseased portion of the ear.
There is only one way to cure deaf
ness, and that is by constitutional
remedies. Deafness is caused by an
inflamed condition of the mucous
lining of the Eustachian Tube. When
this tube is infamed you have a
rumbling sound or imperfect hearing,
and when it is entirely closed, deaf
ness is the result, and unless the in
flamation can be taken out and this
tube restored 20 it's normal condition,
hearing will be destroyed forever;
nine cases out of ten are caused by
catarrh, which is nothing but an in
famed condition of the mucous sur
face.
We will give One Hundred Dollars
for any case OF deafness (caused by
catarrh) that cannot be cured by
HALLS Catarrh Cure. Send for cir
culars, free.

Capital Improvement.

There is entirely too much dispOsi.
tion, just now, to treat the question
of capital improvement as a Frank
fort matter, pure and simple. This
is unjustifiable and an erroneous way
of putting the matter.
The State of Kentucky ut large is
the party that is more interested in
this work than anyone else. 1t is
true there may be secondary benefits
which will accrue to Frankfort, hut
the whole matter should be looked at
from the view Of State interest aud
state pride.
Affairs have gone on from bad TO
worse for years, so far as public
buildings are concerned, until now the
State is face to face with an emer-
gency that hos to be met, and that at
once.
1t will not do to say: "Well, the
old buildings will do for awhile yet;
the State cannot afford new buildings
just now"
The old buildings have been made
to do duty for twenty years longer
than they should already, upon this
.SpeciOus and false assumption.
Now then, as it is fact that
something will have to be done at the
approaching session Of the Legisla-
ture, it behOOveS US to select as our
Representative a man who has
broad views as to legislative matters
and an attractive and winning adj
dress; one VINO knows when and how
to talk, what to talk about, and
when to keep silent; one who can
subordinate his own ambitions to
the public veal; OueiwhO will not an
tagonize other members, just simply
to make stage play and for personal
reputation; and yet one who has the
ability to present matters in their
most favorable light and at the most
favorable time.
If there can such a man be found
in the county (and there are I'M
doubtedly a number of SUCH, he
should be drafted into the service
and made to serve.
1t is duty we owe to the State
first and to our county and city next,
to lay aside all personal and political
feeling in this matter, and stand
shoulder to shoulder for the right
man and thus make his election so
unanimous that he will feel the
weight of responsibility the duties
imposed require, and can, with
clearer and more comprehensive
view, see his way to the desired end.

A wreck at sea Is not the only place
where a life line is of importance.
There is a life line for the sick, as we'll as
for the drowning man. 1t is DR.. Pierce's
Golden Medical Discovery. 1t is not
cure-all but II is a scientific medicine that
goes to the fountain head of number of
serious and fatal diseases. When a man
gets seriously sick, he can generally be
cured by the right course of treatment.
The treatment that cures many obstinate
chronic diseases consists of pure air, good
food, rational exercise, and the use of a
remedy that will strengthen the weak
stomach, correct the impaired digestion,
invigorate the liver and promote the as
similation of the live giving elements of
the food. The Golden Medical DiscOv-
cry" accomplishes all these things.
"a young man lay pale and motionless upon
what neighbors called his dying bed. Disease
of the lungs, liver complaint, Kidney trouble and
pleurisy were fast fastening him TO the grave.
The doctors had given him up to die. The
not care to die he said, were II not for leaving
my dear wife and little child, but know that /
must die brother had presented him with
three bottles of medicine, but he had no faith in
patent medicines but, after the doctors had
gwen him up To die and he had banished every
hope Of recovery, he said to his wife dear wife
am going to die there can be no harm now in
taking that medicine. / will begin its use at
once He did begin to use Il and at first he
grew worse, but soon there came a change.
Slowly but surely he got better, To-day that
man Is strong and healthy and he owes his life
TO that medicine. What was the medicinel II
was DT, PieTces Golden Medical Discovery, and
Pierce, thank you from the very depth Of my
heart for rescuing me from the grave" The
foregoing is from Luther Martin, Esq, promi-
nent citizen OF Lubee, Wood Co., W. Va.

imposing Masonic ceremonies by
Grand Master Reginald H. Thomp-

 ''So far as I could observe, - said Dr. Winess, the nursing in the division hospital was very unsatisfactory It was my obser- vation that senior officers would not and junior officers dare not reportCthe condition of things in camps and hospitals when that condition was bad I did not see evi- dence of carelessness or negligence, but there was difficulty in obtaining medicines in proper quantity, and complaint that diets, ice, milk and similar supplies could not be secured. I personally observed no case of soldier in a hospital being i'll treated, although many rumors to that ef- feet came to my notice"
 Dr. Witness continued: 'T do not believe any army ever want into the field that was as well fed as this army"

As an example of what extent he carried his intimidation, this morning bright and early he appeared at the voting place and took seat immediately at Che entrance of the enclosure, and had with him one of the superintendents, Hutchinss who took a seat with book and pencilsd dn hand. As each man came out after voting he was interrogated by Hutchings as to his vote Aldrich was near by to hear the. answer, and Hutchings recorded 1t in his book It will be remembered quite num- Der of white men were discharged few. years ago just after the congressional etec-. tion because they voted for Robbins.

Santiago, November 8.-Natamaore, a colonel in the insurgent armyand formerly abandt, objecting to the humdrum ways of peace, recently took to the hills with twenty men and is now carrying on his old vocation, robbing plantations and farms of cattle and horses, holding people up and setting in every way bad example

To- day twenty men under command of q lieu tenant left for the locality in which Nata- nIaore and his companions are operating with orders to bring them all in dead or alive.
