BIMETALLISM.

Chairman Of the Democratic
National Committee, Hon. James
K. Jones has within the past few
days declared that the platform
for 1900 will on the money ques-
ton be virtually a duplicate of
1906. Since childhood we have
been taught that it is not well to
cut off the nose to spite the face.
We favor adopting the money
question of 1896 in 1900 in the
main but modification Of the ratio
would not be hurtful. While at
all times it has been in the mind
of the great Democratic party to
legislate according to the needs of
the question we could leave the
ratio to be fixed by Congress and
let it be so specified, for this is
what would be done by virtue OF
constitutional rights. IS to I, is
not objectional to us but this mod
ifcation specifies those who do
not believe in the adjustabilaty Of
the money values at this ratio.
The arguments of 1896 favoring
the free coinage Of silver are more
powerful to-day than ever before
for the reason that more money
has proven anecessity and when
more money has been used pro-
visions have advanced and times
hove been greatly improved.

Dissolution.

On February list, the firm of t.
M. Green q Co., of Grassy Lick, by
mutual consent, will be dissolved
and Mr.. Il. M. Green will retire.
This requires an immediate settle
ment of all outstanding accounts,
and we hereby give our friends no.
tice. In the meantime we will sell
at greatly reduced prices and
strictly for cash.
No firm in the State will be able
to sell closer than we will. Our
stock is complete in every depart
ment and it will be our pleasure
to give our friends the benefit of
the reduction sale. OF course
those who come first will get first
choice of the stock. We are thank
full to generous public for their
patronage, and by honorable deal
ing hope to continue in ther favor.
Very Respectfully,

COL. THOS. J. YOUNG.

Mr.. John c. Wood, Railroad
Commissioner will leave this week
and take in prominent places Civ
ing reasons to his Republican
friends why they should renomi-
nate him for the position which he
holds. That John c. Wood has
made an acceptable official, no
man we suppose could question.
From our observation and ex-
perience with him we do not hest
tate to say that he is strictly
honest and is attentive to the
duties Of this position. The only
thing very wrong about Mr.. Wood
is his politics, a Republican Of
Republicans he is, but on these
great questions of party differ
ences, he has right to his opin-
ion and we respect him the more
for his positive stands. During
his absence while campaigning

On last Thursday a representa-
tive Of THE ADVOCATE was in
Frankfort and had a talk with
Hon. South Trimble, Democratic
nominee for the Legislature, in
regard to recent publications con-
corning his attitude toward the
McCord prison bill, Prison Com
missioners, etc. Mr.. Trimble said
that he had never directly nor in
directly asked for the Wardenship
of the penitentiary and that the
recent publications about his be-
ing opposed to the prison COM
in the future were
made without his consent and by
his enemies.
In our last issue we referred to
this matter, and with pleasure
make the above statement. Mr..
Trimble was not actuated by sell
fish motive.

HOW IS THIS2

Some of the friends OF Gen. w.
P. Hardin and ex-senator &c. S.
Blackburn think because men
were once candidates, because
they adopted the Chicago plat
form, as did also w. J. Bryan, and
because the people demand the
nomination Of Mr.. Bryan they
should also demand the nomina-
ton of these gentlemen. There
is some mighty good Gubernator-
ial as we'll as Senatorial timber in
Kentucky. The woods are full of
it, ard the Democratic party don't
propose to offer any but the best,

treIne or the Other.
Napoleon, the first and most IA
nous Of that name, during has poor
student days, wrote in letter to his
mamma that he INDUCED i'll but one
meal day, and, consequently, en-
joyed good health. But Napoleon,
the first and most famous, is believed
by few choice critics to have been
quite constitutional prevaricator,
and it is possible that while cajoling
his prudent and provident mamma
with the impression that he was liv-
ing very economically, and, accord
ing to his assumption, healthfully,
he may in reality have been wasting
his limited means in widest dissi-
patton, says a writer in What to Eat.
Another assertion in the same con-
nection later in life is less liable to
an equivocal Interpretation. He said
something to the effect that no man
was ever hurt by eating too little,
but many man had been harmed
by eating too much; an opinion which
most OF average constitution and ex-
perience Of life may feel willing to
indorse.
DR.. Samuel johnson was gross
glutton. Though quite intellectual,
he was without elegance or refine
ment Of nature. While admitting his
mental power and fine talents, it is
impossible not to condemn his boor-
ishness and gluttony.
Alexander Dallas, one Of the poets
biographers, asserts that Lord Byron
lived for weeks at time on two lit
tie biscuits daily, and sometimes only
one. Dallas himself said that the
statement-which he apparently be-
lieved-seemed incredible. One
shrewdly suspects that George was
probably making game Of his ven
cradle and very pious relative. So
much for distinguished authorities,
certainly very eminent ones indeed,
favorable to a light diet, to which,
by the by, may be added the name
Of Swedish Charles, the eleventh of
that name, who appeared to have been
opposed to all forms of indulgence,
and is reported on one occasion as
going for seven days without any
thing at all to eat, statement, how
ever, which is received with credit
able doubt by the intensely practical
Voltaire.
On the other hand, we have Gut
teau, the coarse-minded and crazy as
sassin of Garfield, as an advocate of
plentiful and even yoracious eating,
a habit that seems to have been con-
genial to his nature.

Ex-Gov. Of West Virginia.

just as DIR. Judson had finished
translating the New Testament into
Burmese he was cast into prison.
His wife took the precious mann
script and buried it in the ground.
But If left there it would soon decay,
while to reveal its existence to it's foes
would surely lead to its destruction
So ii was arranged that she should
put it within roll of cotton and
take il to him in the form of pillow,
so hard and poor that even the keeper
of the prison did not covet it. After
seven months this pillow Geo uninvit-
ing externally, SO precious to him) was
tsken away, and then his wife re-
deemed it by giving better one in
exchange. Some time after that he
was hurried off to another prison,
leaving everything behind him, and
his old pillow was thrown into the
prison yard to be trodden under foot
az worthless cotton; but after a few
hours one of the native christians dis
covered the roll and took it home as a
relic of the prisoner, and there long
afterwards, the manuscript was found
within the cotton, complete and unin-
jured. Surely the hand of the Lord
WAS interposed to save from distruc-
ton the fruit Of years of toll, so i'm
portsnt for those who were to read
the Burmese Bible.--Edward w.
