James Z. Hamilton, of Upper
Prickly Ash, brought to this office
Monday two copies of The Weekly
Union, published at Washingt ton
City May 9th and July lst, 1913.
Superior quality of white paper
was used in those two copies at
least. Wide columns and unim-
peachable Typography and press
work characterize them. In the
two latter respects the present day
newspapers, as a class, certainly
show marked deterioration from
the Unions standard. The Union
gave all meat and good measure.
There is not line of advertising in
the eight pages of either copy. The
meat, too, is nearly all political,
whether news, editorials, or the
small quantity of reprints. The
subscription price was So per year.
The May numbers first article is
an editorial on the proceedings of
the Baltimore convention of the
"Republican" party that nominated
Gen. Lewis Cass, of Michigan, for
the Presidency, and Gen. VIM. o.
Butler, of Kentucky, for Vice Pres
ident. 1t refers to the party indis-
criminately as Republican" and
"Democratic," though it was what
We now distinguish as Democratic.
The Free soil party in the next de-
cade assumed the distinctive name
of "Republican." New York State
had the perennial Democratic fam
lily feud, mention of which is made,
and, as usual. il was considered the
pivotal State, that would win or
lose for the Democracy according
TO whether or not harmony pre-
vailed in the ranks.
Beginning at the head of the
second page is stenographlc re-
port of the Baltimore convention.
The proceedings were rather more
marked by stately dignity and
courtesy than they are now
adays.
The only name recognized on the
Credentials committee is that of
john w. Stevenson, of Kentucky,
Governor and U. S.
Senator. The Ky. member of the
committee was our
own John G. Mason, of Owingsville.
Not another member of that COM
mittee is recognizable. OF 80
accredited Ky. delegates Lynn Boyd
is the only other one whose name
is familiar except Frederick Rand,
of Owingsville. Mason was a State
at-large delegate. Owingsville cut
quite a figure. Among the other
whose names are gener-
ally familiar at this day are Han
nibal Hamlin, of Maine, elected
Vice President with Abraham Lin
coin; Ben F. Butler, of Massachu-
setts, who long afterwards became
a holy terror to Democrats; John
w. Forney, Simon Cameron, of
(Think of Simon
Cameron as a Democrat! y; John
W. Tyler, John B. Floyd, of Vir-
ginia; VIM. L. Yancey, of Alabama;
Herschel V. Johnston, of Georgia
VIM. II. English, Jessie ID. Bright,
Of Indiana; John Slidell, of Louis
lana; Sam Houston, of Texas. On
account of the factions the New
York delegation is not named.
There were probably some of ma
tional reputation among them. But
Of the hundreds of other delegates
there are only about a dozen ia
miliar national names. Rip Van
Wrinkles pathetic exclamation
"How soon We vas forgot" is no
less applicable to the politicians
who strut their brief hour on the
stage. Truly the larger
part of the game for political fame
is scarcely worth the candle. A few
achieve real fame; a few reach no
toriety. The great majority sink
into oblivion.

\ FISCAL COURT MEETING. The
Fiscal Court met here Wednesday
of last week and received the report
of the commission appointed to as i
certain the Indebtedness of BATH
countysAs indicated in last week 4
issue, the county debt is about
$35, 900. The commission reported
that over half of the debt was con-
tracted before Judge Gudgelps ad-
ministration, and also before the
adoption of the New Constitution
of Kentucky. Owing to the latter
fact the law permits levy above
the 50-cent limit of the present
Constitution to pay off that part
of the debt. The balance, about
SIC, 900, contracted under the New
Constitution, will have to be paid
out of the levy of 25 cents on the
800 under the present law.
The Court rented the Poor-house
farm to Joseph Williams on the
following terms: For the rent OF
the farm he agrees to keep go
paupers, clothing and feeding
them, furnishing them medical at
tention and burying at his own ex-
pense any that may die; the coun-
ty is to pay him $25 per year for
each pauper over 60 kept by him,
and he is to deduct $25 per year fol
each one less than go in numb
The farm contains about 377 acres

TOBACCO REPORT. - EXPRESSLY
FOR The OUTLOOK BY j. S. PHELPS &
Co., PLANTERS NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.
isville, Ky, Feb. s, lS9S.-Receipts
and sales show decided falling
off. The majority Of the trade con
siders the market higher than last
week. We cannot see any change
except in the grades selling between
$3.50 and $l0.50; they are motto
ably higher. The grades selling
between $l0.5O and $l5 are also
very active and strong. The grades
selling between SI5 and $50 met
with less competition this week
than they did last. The bright
hyings, lugs and trashes were
somewhat irregular. One Louisville
factory took these very freely at
times, and when they bid they were
higher; but without their competi-
tion they sold at about the same
prices that have ruled for the past
three weeks. We expect to see
the volume of business very much
smaller for the next few weeks and
shall be disappointed if the market
does not show more vim and snap
than it has done for the past two
weeks.
Some grades of old tobacco have
been very active and high this
week. The common, heavy bodied
red tips selling between Sc and
$3.50 were higher than they have
been at any time in the past eight
months. The same grades with
color also show an improvement,
but are selling relatively much low
er than the reds. Our notion is
that all Old tobacco below SO is
certainly much higher than it has
been at any time in the past three
months. The demand for the grades
above $40 is still limited and we
cannot see any change from prices
that ruled during the month of
January.
The offerings of Dark tobacco
have been very light. Prices for
all good rich leaf and all long leaf
suitable for rehandling are very
strong, and, We think, higher. The
common and medium leaf also
show a slight improvement, but
still sell low. The demand for the
common lugs and trashes in both
old and new is still very limited.
The few hhds. offered on the breaks
sold some higher than last week.

CHRISTMAS CHEER
FOR OUR SOLDIERS.
Thousands OF Pounds of Turkeys
Sent to Cuba and Porto Rico
for Holiday Dinner.

NEW YORK, Dec. 1.-THE United
States soldiers in Cuba and Porto Rico
will not lack for good Christmas dinners.
Col. c. A. Woodruff. assistant commissary
officer of subsistence will forward to them
by the steamer Mississippi, which sails at
noon today for Santiago and Ponce, 10000
pounds of prime turkey and 1000 pounds
OF fresh craGberries. which should reach
them in plenty of time for their faraway
holiday celebration. The birds will he
shipped in cold storage and will reach the
company cooks in as good condition as
though they had bought them off the
Washington market stands, and they prob
ably will not cost them much either.
Gen Woodruff said that if the govern
ment had not taken this action the soldiers
would probably not have been able to get
turkey for Christmas for love or money.
1t will be an additional treat, too, because
the men did not get any turkey for
Thanksgiving. This was not because Col.
Woodruff did not think of 1t, but the
weather was warmer then and cold stor-
age facilities which have since been in
troduced in the islands were not in opera
ton.
The Mississippi will also carry hundreds
of private boxes of good things sent by
individual! friends of the officers and men
as reminders that they are not forgotten
at home at this joyous season.

WANT TO MUSTER
OUT THE VOLUNTEERS.
Some Senators Desire to Reduce the
Force Before the New Army II
Fairly Organized.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 1.-THE senate
committee on appropriations continued its
hearing on the army deficiency bill today
Gen. Miles being before the committee for
more than an hour. The pending PROPOSE
ton is an amendment supported by sew
eral members. providing for the immediate
mastering out OF $1,000 volunteers. 1t is
understood that Secretary Alger and AS
sfstant Secretary Meiklejohn opposed such
a provision and Adjt. Gen. Corbin said
that, In view of the recommendation OF
the Cuban military commission, 1t would
not be advisable. Gen. Miles said today
that he thought 2o0t0 men would be enough
for Cuba He said that the island must
IN time and at an early date. be policed
by natives. who should be recruited into
the army under American officers. Ameri-
cans could not stand the climate unless
they were immunes. He thought the
standing army should be increased 10 To-
Geo men and said at least some OF the vol
unteers should be continued in service un-
I'll the increase WAS made.
