PLATT HAS "THE HORRORS.

"The horrors of the war" says Sem
ator Platt, cannot be exaggerated"
There is some mystery about this
So long as the peace-at-any-price syn
dictate was active and hopeful the
'hOrrOr-hOwling' had to be kept up
in order to make people believe that
the syndicate was striving TO ward off
desOlation misery and gaunt despair
from it's native land. But now that
war is, as Plat admits, inevitable"
why keep on repeating parrot-fashion
this ridiculous nonsense?
Not only is the common-sense citi-
zen unable to find horrors" but also
he is unable to find any "war."
The only Spanish force that held out
any hope to our eager naval officers
was the two cruisers Vizcaya and
Oquendo. which Spain removed to
transatlantic safety, 3,40O miles away
on the coast of Africa, as soon as the
situation became grave.
Now there is nothing that can make
any sort of resistance in Porto Rico.
And how much "horroI" can be got
out of the thought of the few little
gunboats and the two small cruisers,
both poor and helpless, at Havana?
As for land forces, does any one Sc
riOusly anticipate resistance from the
army of few thousand half-grOwn,
half-starved, half clad and half-armed
youths who avail nothing against the
puny forces of the insurgents?
With Havana and San Juan block
AIDED Spain would not dare send over
a fleet, because it could get no coal
Instead of talking about the horrors
of war with Spain, Platt would do
we'll to talk OF the horror of permit
ting Spain to go unpublished for the
Maine and to continue her unspeakable
infamies upon the Cubans. And the
Executive Department, instead of in
dulging in heavy nothings about the
lawful responsibilities" of performing
a simple, comparatively easy and GER
tainly imperative duty, would do well
to think on the lawful responsibility"
of sailing to compel Spain to atone for
numbering our sailors.
Remember the Maine!

How Lish Beat The Newspaper Men.

It is said that born newspaper man
has no use for a secret except to air it the
first opportunity, but this was striking
ly disproved to me Tuesday. A news
paper man was in town Tuesday and l
had long and pleasant chat with Mr..
E. g. Parrish, of Richmond, formerly of
the Paragraph, now located at f. j.
Curley's distillery, doing duty for Uucle
Sam in the Revenue Service. Mr.. Par
IRISH was inclined to be communicative
looked happy, talked of the Civil Ser
vice, of the Spanish-American war, of
politics, newspaper business, etc. etc.
But Mr.. Parrish was possessed of Sc
cret of momentous import to him; we
might say, the one great secret OF his
life, but he guarded it well. He confess
sed that he found it little lonesome"
down at the river-especially at night
and Sundays and he was on his way
over to Richmond on little business,
but he made no sign or gave no hint.
At clock that night he was married
to Miss Fannie Harcourt. | thought OF
course that the Pantagraph boys would
know all about it, but not a line did |
find and French Upton and Milo Shanks
had been left. Then / turned to the
Register and felt reasonably sure that
the announcement would be made by K.
Lee Davis, but he too got left. then
waited anxiously for the Climax to See
full account of tue marriage with all of
the embellishments of Clarence Woods,
but he too, for once got left. Parrish had
evidently kept one secret. His ''lone-
some" day are over and here is luck to
him and his happy bride.-''Snug, The
Joiner" iu Nicholasville Democrat.
After this elaborate and interesting
expose by our esteemed neighbor, the
CLIMAX will say this: We heard at noon
Tuesday of wedding-to-be. We tele-
phoned certain minister, who after
wards performed the ceremoney, but he
was not at home. He alone possessed
the secret and even his wife could not
put us on to the names OF the contracting
parties. At seven o'clock we heard the
name for sure, but the paper was about
printed and we gave up the chase in
dispair. If our local contemporaries
| made equal exertion, which we feel
sure they did, then does Col. L. Gum
Parrish deserve the pound cake for
eyading the many nosy news gatherers
| here and hereahouts.

TALKING ABOUT TAXES.

1t is alleged that efforts are being
made by the ways and means commit
tee Of Congress to find some way to raise
revenue for war purposes without tax
ing the necessities of lite This is a
move in the right direction. 1t is said
that the l0-cent tax on tea and cents
on coffee Will be abandoned. Congress
will not put an import duty on these ar
ticles unless a countervailing tax is
placed upon stocks now held. II that is
done disturbances NAV be caused in the
business world, as immense stocks are
held, and it is reported that some of the
large dealers would be forced to the wall
if compelled to pay this tax. A New York
firm informed the committee that it
wOuldbe compelled to pay $3.50, 900, which
would entail great hardships upon it.
GrOcers and other mercantile houses
have protested against this tax, and in
response to their wishes the committee
is now considering many luxuries to
supply the revenue expected from coffee
and tea.
1t is now proposed to levy tax of
one cent per pint on mineral and bot
tied waters; two cents on domestic
wines, and one cent per package on
chewing gum. In addition the tax on
kilograms it has been practically decided
to tax express packages at the rate OF
two cents for each 25-cent package.
Press dispatches will be except ted, but
commercial kilograms are to be assessed
l cent for each % cent message.
Dispatches from Washington say: "A
story was circulated to the effect that
bicycles were to be taxed 8 each, but a
member oil the committee is authority
for the statement that no such PROPOSE
ton had been under consideration.
Railroad tickets over 100 miles are
slated for 10 cents each. An income
tax has not been and will not be con-
sidered, as the committee is of the opin-
ion that an income tax law cannot be
framed which will be sustained by the
Supreme Court, and nothing will be in
corporated in the bill which might
provoke lengthy debate"

RUBBED 1T In.
The Value CT Newspapers as Advertising
Mediums

In the course of a speech, respond
ing to the toast of "The Press" at the
annual dinner of the Commercial Club
of Kansas City, Col. Milton A. McRae
told the following stories to prove that
the newspaper is the best advertising
medium: A coIored minister once
went to New York to purchase some
hymn books for his church. He was
hardly up with the modern methods
o. ADVERTISING, but he wished to buy
100 hymn books He was shown some
of the ordinary grade, but was told by
the publisher that if he could use
some HYMN books with little adver-
Using therein, he could give him a re-
duction of one-thtrd on all books he
wished to purchase.
This seemed to please the colOred
preacher, and he said he would take
them. The following Sunday, when
his congregation was singing a hymn,
he was somewhat surprised to hear
them sing the third verse, or what was
inserted in place of the third verse Of
the hymn, which read as follows:
Hark! the herald angels sing,
Beecham's pills, they are the thing
Peace on earth and mercy mild
Two for man and one for child.
remember another story which
serves to teach a lesson that the daily
newspaper is the proper place in which
to advertise. 1t seems that a man
named jackson was engaged in the
manufacture of plug tobacco, and used
to advertise some in the daily newspa-
pers, but also on dead walls, etc.
One day, while walking along a
street overlooking a steep hill, the
wind blew off his plug hat, which
rolled over the hill down a steep
precipice Crawling to the edge of
the precipice he looked down, and
there beheld huge billygoat chewing
his fine plug hat, aid eating the rim
off. EXasperated beyond measure, he
| yelled at the goat, which simply turned
his head upwards, but kept on eating
the hat. Following the direction OF
the goats eyes, he beheld in large let
tiers painted on the side of the rock,
the words: Chew Jackson's Plug"
1t is said from that time on Jackson
used the columns of the newspapers
steadily.

April War Observation-Disclosures
from the Cincinnati Enquirer Almanac
show that four wars, tue Revolution,
Black Hawk, the Mexican and Civil,
began in April, resulted in the compila-
ton of facts showing that every war in
the United States commenced in April
The real beginning of the inter colo
NAL war was April 18th, 1854, when the
French troops took the stockade from
the English, which was located at pre-
sent site of Pittsburg, Pennsylvania.
The first blood in the Revolutionary
War was spilled on the commons in
front of Lexington, where 100 colonists
under command of Captain Parker in
tercepted 800 English under Pitcairn
as they proceeded on their march from
Concord. The English shot down ~ of
the colonists. This occurred on April
10th, IT'S.
In 1912 war was not declared until
June but every man who took part in
the passage of embargo act knew well
that when he voted for the act he voted
for war against England. That embargo
was enacted OH April 4th, 1872.
The Black Hawk war began April 81,
1884, and April oath, 1916, the Mexican
war was started. On April 10Th, 1861
just IS years after the opening of the
Revolutionary War to day, the first
blood OF the Civil War was shed in the
streets of Baltimore. True, Fort Sum-
ter was fired upon April 18th. and the
United States troops had been attacked
at Harper's Ferry, but historians tell us
that, strange to say, no blood was split
at either of the first two poinis-but
/, they also happened in April.
| The first blood in the two most inn
portrnt wars--the Revolutionary and
Civil-was shed on the l9th--same day
OF the month. 1t il needless to remark
that the Stars and Stripes have always
come out ahead.

TROPICAL WARFARE.

The only experience the United
States army has even had in tropical
warfare was in Florida, from 1885 to
lS42-the seven years war with the
Seminole Indians. While the cOndit-
ions there were much more favorable
than they are in Cuba, the mortality
from disease was enOrmu; in COMPARE
son with the number of men employed
The records show that there We're alto
gether HOO troops engaged during
the seven years fighting against
total of about 1900 Indians, of whom
1884 We're men, l 1857 women and 1913
children. The war was carried on in
a manner very similar to that between
the SpaniardS and the Cubans. The
Indians would never consent to a
stand-up fight unless they had a great
advantage, but lay in ambush and at
tackled the soldiers in the dark when
ever they could do so without expos
ing their own lives. They lived on the
country, the native fruits, roots, vegeCa-
bles and game, while soldiers were re-
quired to carry supplies with them
and were thus handicapped and re-
tarded in their movements. 1t took
seven years to subdue the savages,
and there was no peace until they were
practically eXterminated. At the end
of seven years the fighting men were
reduced to about 300 and they hidden
in the everglades.
During these seven years out of the
400 troops employed 1881 died
twenty-three sailor and forty two ma
rines, the remainder being officers
and soldiers OF the regular army. OF
this number only IS were killed in bat
tie, pa died of wounds and 1853 of
malarial diseases.
Asa result of the Indian war there
are now on the pension rolls 1851 per-
sons, of whom 2,373 are survivors and
4, 2S8 widows. They receive an average
of 100000 year in pensions, and since
1893 have been paid S3,243,7 los. The
total amount thus for paid by the
government for pensions growing out
OF the Florida war exceed $53, 100000.

The Radish Season.

With most farmers the radish season
is much shorter than it used to be. 1t
is root that needs to be grown quick
ly, else it will be hard and tough, and
the weather must not be too warm, else
the radishes will either grow pithy or
be filled with worms. These last breed
fast in soil made rich by fermented sta
BILE manure. Yet, as The American Gull
tivator tells, the market gardeners have
radishes all through the year, and have
little trouble is keeping them from be-
ing pithy or wormy They spray the
leaves freely, and thus check the evap-
Grafton which makes the root pithy. To
make the radish grow fast and free
from worms they manure with nitrate
of soda and plant in rather sandy soil.
On such land the radish is clear and
crisp and will be generally free from
worms. Some of the Chinese varieties
of radish are particularly adapted to
growing in late summer, while there
are others that can be kept III good con
dition until winter by cutting off all
the top and keeping them in a cold
place covered with enough sand to ex-
clude the air.
