Is McNIcOl Q Democrat9 Z

An article written by our townsmaD
John McNicol, and published in the
New Era of Springfield, o, is well worth
reading Particularly 30 from the fact
that the article is in reference to the ini
tiative and referendum, one Of the de
mands in the Democratic State platform.
Certainly, Mr.. McNicol has the edito,

pies four columns in his answer, which
space We cannot spare, simply giving
what McNicol said. From bis utter
ances McNicol does not seem inclined
to "sdopt" every uttsrance that hia
Democratic brethren give to the public.
Hence there is question as to the gen.
uineness of his Democracy, and We
leave it to our readers to judge from the
article, which is as follows:

this and the trade was doubtless a NUT

Institute a Success at Hardins-
burg.

Last week the hospitality of the homes
of the Hardinsburg people we're turned
over to the teachers who assembled TO
conduct the business of the County In-
stitute.
The first days business was taken up
in organization and outlining the BUSH
ness of the week Over one hundred
teachers answered to the roll call, indi-
eating an increased attendance and in
terest over that heretofore shown.
superintendent Driskell requires
punctual attendance upon the session OF
the Institutute and insists that the teach
ers shall do the work assigned TO them.
A glance at the proceedings last week
showed that this rule was having a good
effect and the Institute was slowly but
surely accomplishing the thing for which
1t was designed, a higher standard Of
education for teachers.
The session throughout the week, TAX
ing.each days work as it was mapped out
was OF special interest to ell in attend
ance.
The teachers did their part well. Mr..
Frank Pate, the instructor, and who is z
Breckenridge county boy, brought out
many new ideas and greatly assisted the
work.
The papers read and the subjects dis.
cussed brought forth new animation and
life from the teachers, and upon the
whole it was very interesting session

TWO BIG
GAMES.
The SCribners of Louisville Were
Defeated
In Two Games of Base Ball By the
tIardlnsburg Team.

Two of the most interesting base ball
games Of the season were played on the
Hardinsburg base ball grounds last
Thursday and Friday between the Serb.
ners OF Louisville, and the Hardinsburg
nine. Both games we're interesting and
played with vim. Hardinsburg started
out to win fame, and they did it.
The Louisville nine came down with a
record as a scientific set, but what the
Home team did for them was a plenty.
The playing took the interest from the
Institute, which was in session, and all
the teachers and visitors turned out TO
see the game.
The batting by both teams was fine.
McGary, for Hardinsburg, played a fine
srd, and Dillon in the field took every.
thing that came his way. Pate and
Roberts who joined the team did fne
batting and added strength to the game.
Some other good playerO we're Hook,

BUSINESS AND FIUGRES.

Louisville undoubtedly possesses
unrivaled advantages of location,
resources and facilities for a COM
mercial and manufacturing center.
These facts are announced with a
flourish, capitalists are urged to
make their investments here, and
occasionally this or that factory is
said to have so decided, but they
don't come. Nothing is said of the
thousands of capital withdrawn
from our manufactures and bust.
ness and invested in other States,
and the hundreds of workmen
leaving here to earn living else
where because they find 10 work
in this dead old town" Why
Well, despite the alleged wealth
and large profits of city people and
their ability to pay all the taxes OF
the State, as claimed by some of
our statesmen CD, business men
can not figure out profit on prop
erty or manufactures after paying
such tax rate as 1874 to the city,
SIX to the State and II to the
county-2.5 3A per cent.-nor can
anyone else who understands any
thing about business and figures.
