Next Monday will be observed
as New Years day and a great
many will no doubt be in the city.
We take this occasion to thank
our many friends for the patronage
so literally bestowed during the
the year 1898 now closing, We
trust we have been worthy every
dollar and that we will be able to
so prove ourselves. We have
ideas and plans for the future
which if materalized will make the
MT. STERLING ADVOCATE one OF
the leading journals not Of the
tenth district or the State of Ken
lucky but of the States. We
hope to continue in your favor
and to be able to carry out our
cherished plans. Entering upon
this new year our friends can be
ofgreat help to US by sending their
renewals promptly. We shall
press our subscription department
more than ever before.
In our strife for pecuniary
success we will be ever mind
full of the great and absorbing sub
jects now heavily bearing down
upon the minds Of our people.
The money theories will not be
forgotten neither will the acquire
ment of new territory. We shall
undertake to keep the people
thoroughly acquainted with these
questions and others dividing the
national parties, that they may do
their own thinking and arrive at
just conclusions.

In The Literary Digest appears
TRANSLATION of a review Of Comment
ON Marche" CHOW We Walk"), the
latest book on the subject by Messrs.
Regnault and Raoul. In this work it ia
claimed that we have been wrongly ed
ucated in walking and that the erect
posture and firm step that we have been
led TO believe were evidences of health
and strength are conventional and vi
oious
M. Marcy, who wrote the introduo-
tion to the volume, says that there is a
style of walking that enables one, with
out excessive fatigue, to 60 distances of
from 30 to 25 miles in third of the
time usually required. This may be ao-
complished by walking with the knees
bent and the body inclined forward, q
method which has been observed in pro-
fessional pedestrians mountaineers,
peasants, hunters and soldiers fatigued
by long marches. In not adopting this
method, it is claimed that, as with all
the other acts Of life. we remain slaves
Of conventional aesthetics.

A HOPEFUL VIEW.

Senator Hoar, in a speech
Thursday night, made some ad
missions new for an extremist az
the aged expositor Of former-day
New Englandism:
eve have not yet" he said,
"solved the problem Of how men
Of different races can dwelltogether
in the same land in accordance
with our principles Of republican
rule and republican liberty. an
not one Of those who despair Of
the solution OF that problem in
Justice and in freedom. | do not
look upon the dark side when |
think Of the future Of our beloved
land | count it the one chief good
fortune of my life that as | grow
older, | look out on the world with
hope and not despair. We have
made wonderful advances within
the lifetime of the youngest of us.
While we hear from time to time
Of occurrences much to be deplored
and utterly to be condemned, yet,
on the whole, we are advancing
quite as rapidly as could be ex-
pected to the time when these
races will live together on Ameri-
can soil in freedom, in honor and
in peace, every man enjoying his
just right wherever the Ameri-
can Constitution reigns and
wherever the American flag floats
when the influence Of intelli-
gence, Of courage, Of energy, in
spired by a lofty patriotism and a
Christian love, will have its full
and llglmate effect, not through
disorder or force Of lawlessness
but under the silent and sure law
by which always the superior
leads and the inferior follows"
The solution Of the complicated
social and political problems will
be answered when the spirit Of
Christ dominates the lives of our
public men. These public ser
wants will reflect the sentiment of
the great masses. When the
millions Of American citizens en-
deavor to live in accord with the
teachings of Christ there will be
peace on earth good will toward
men.

There was the usual big crowd
in town on Saturday preparing for
Christmas festivities and drunks.
While we have heard Of no serious
trouble by fights, yet there was
much which did not contribute to
the good name Of our town. On
Sunday morning one minister
said he saw thirty eight drunken
men and women pass his home.
Of course there were many sober
ones as well. Swearing, whiskey
drinking and fire works are very
popular at this season, however
Objectionable they are to lovers OF
peace, quietness, sobriety, and
good citizenship. We are un.
compromisingIy opposed to the
whiskey traffic in all forms, and
hope to see the day when it will
be banished from our town, county
and state. However much the
police authorities might wish to
close the bar rooms, they are
powerless to do so as long as the
traffic is legalized, and encouraged
by so liberal a patronage. When
a drunken man makes of himself a
nuisance he should be suppressed.
We recognize the service Of legal
restraint, but this is not the
sufficient preventive of reckless
swearing and drunkenness Again
we say that the spirit and teaching

needlessly. 1t is certain that every
phase of catarrh, including many cases
of consumption, are cured by the right
treatment, Pe-ru-na, DIR. Hartman's
great prescription, attacks catarrhal
diseases scientifically and cures them.
DR.. Hartman explains it fully in his
books which are mailed on application.
Here is letter from Mrs. Harmening,
Mazo Mamie, Wis, who is one of many

A GREAT QUESTION.

During recent campaigns we de
sire here and now to confess that
we acted the part Of towards. In
that we did not speak out to
the Democratic party and say give
us sober and moral men. 1t is
useless to grieve over split milk;
these days with what they
brought forth are of the past and
what we shall be must be dated
December ~, 1898. A most vi
tai question confronts US; shall the
people of the country say we will
or will not allow the sale of intox-
icants. This is freedom of suffer
age. The people of this county
or the state as whole are entitled
to voice their sentiments and for
the enactment Of law that will
permit the decision Of this ques-
ton, they have a right to demand.
More than this; the people of the
parties have right and will know
just how candidates seeking nomi.
nations for the Legislature stand.
The ball has begun its rolling,
headed by the great power of the
leading religious denominations,
with resolutions passed in their
annual meetings and carrying
same into effect later by the ap-
pointment of a corresponding Sec
rotary, whose business it is to or
ganize the temperance people Of
the parties in every precinct in the
State. This work has been be-
gun by DR.. Young, of the Meth
odist Church, South, than whom
there is not a better organizer in
the State. The Kentucky Star,
edited by Prof. J. J. Rucker and
Rev. Z. T. Cody, Of Georgetown,
has been adopted as the Temper
ance Organ, and local papers not
a few are declaring in favor of a
local option law, and men for office
who are strictly sober, moral, hon
est and capable. For a local op-
ton law that will stand the test
and men of character to fill our
offices we will contend. The
time is now at hand when men
must fall into line; no fence strad-
oilers, they must be either for or
against, for the up-to-date politi-
clan is a back number.

MADE A FOOL OF.

When Lieut.. Hobson responded
to the call for a man to sink the
Merimac it showed him to be fool
hardy but it made him the hero OF
the Spanish American war.
While there are many fool men in
this country there are also many
fool women. Not a few men and
women shouted themselves hoarse
at the mention Of Hobson's name.
When he landed from Santiago
men yelled and threw their hats
in the air and women kissed the
hero, which of course he recipro-
Gated until out in Kansas City the
other day while this kissing act
was being performed a real hand
some woman got into line much
against her will and was both
kissed and Rugged. She went

FIRST OF THE KIND.

w. L. Fitch a Campoell county
attorney, disbarred for drunken,
ness appealed to Gov. Bradley to
reinstate him but he refused to do
so. This precedent established by
Gov. Bradley would of itself be a
sufficient commentator Of his add
ministration to those who have
stability capable of giving a
thoughtful consideration to the
cause and abuse of the whiskey
traffic. We commend his decision
and heartily aplaud him for so
rendering it. A professional man
should be an exemplary man and
if he chooses to make a brute OF
himself he should be set forth as
an example and "dis barred" is a
light punishment for the crime.

FOR THE DEAD SOLDIER

President Mckinley is certainly
possessed with the most tender
pathos. AS he stood with un-
covered head over the graves oil
the dead soldiers of a lost cause he
would care for the sleeping heroes.
Tender words he would utter and
marble slabs he would erect. In
deed wasted fragrance this. The
more substantial, the real charity
a deep appreciation of bravery
and heroism would be to care for
the armless, the empty breeches
legged, the widow and orphan.
The Southern patriot fights, bleeds
and dies for the cause of humanity
and for liberty but he despises, he
scorns the hypocrit who would
smother his cherished hate and
utter words as sentiment that he
might harvest the suffrage of true
Americans. Away with hypocracy,
with crocodile tears, with fluent
eloquence. The people of the
south would not insult in their
own home but they scorn the man
who trades principle for a local

ThOS. w. Keene Is No More.

The death of 7. r. Eagleson, known
to theatre goers az Thos. keene, which
occurred at New York hospital Wed
nesday, removes from the stage and
world one of the foremost actors Of the
age.
Only a few weeks ago our citizens
packed the Grand Opera House to hear
him in his impersonation of Othello,
and though it was apparent to a close
observer that the part demanded more
strength and vigor than he had at his
command, yet the effort was one that
will never be forgotten by those who
witnessed the play. keene was prob
ably one of the best interpreters o.
Shakespeare of the present age, and
never tired Of producing and studying
the tragedies. He had appeared oftener
it is said, as Richard the III, than any
other character. though his Richelieu'
was liked by the people better than any
other character His death followed an
operation for appendicitis, which was
performed few days ago, but he has
been in failing health for many months.
He leaves a " dow and two children.
