Ugly at Best.
Courier-Journal,

From the Louisville Courier Journal,
According to the Washington cor
respondent of the st. Louis Globe
Democrat, "the government detec
tives have positive knowledge that
Agoncillo has not only been constant
ly in receipt of American encourage
ment, information and advice, but be
mas been supplied with money for
use in influencing public opinion and
in hindering the execution Of the
governments plans and policies.
Many of the documents put forth in
Aguinaldo's name are said to have
been written in this country, not by
Agoncillo and his fellow delegates,
but by certain misguided men of
wealth and high official position in
this country" This is an ugly accu-
satlon. It does not require much
imagination to make it as ugly as a
gallows-tree. The Courier journal
will not believe without proof that
these misguided" men have been
guilty of such conduct since fighting
began between the Filipinos and the
Americans, but it has not the Sigh
test doubt they did resort to such
tactics before the insurgents attack
on Manila and the flight of Agoncillo
from Washington. Even with that
qualification, it is an ugly aspect.

The latest freeze in Florida is said

In one section a system Of board pro

drop their leaves may bear next

was only 2 degrees above zero. But
periodical cold spells in Florida are
not novelty. In 1885 the St Johns
river was frozen one fourth Of its
width and there was skating on some
Of the lakes in 1855.

From the New Orleans Picayune.
There are still opportunities i'll
the United States for the investment
of capital in building railroads, open
ing mines and manufacturing iron
and steel, and in other such indus
tries; but already the productive
power is greater than the home con
sumption, and the result will soon be
that regular and paying employment
cannot be guaranteed to the whole Of
the laboring population. This is an
evil that the alleged statesmen Of the
United States appear never to have
considered, and unless they shall
make due and adequate provision to
meet it, they must expect trouble, i'm
measurable in its extent and terrible
in its consequences. 1t will be moth
ing less than a vast social revolution
and upheaval. European statesman
ship has long ago discovered and
proceeded to apply the remedy.
There is nothing left but for the
Americans to initiate it by securing
new markets for the products Of the
American labor.

The Western farmers seem to have
accepted the expansionist policy with
out any considerable protest, fact
that must have caused no little dis
appointment to certain leaders who
had cherished the idea that national
party lines could be much affected
by the issue, as between expansion
and anti expansion.
The fact is that it is impossible to
show the Western farmer, or any
other farmer, wherein he can posi-
bly, suffer anything in the way of
competition through any annexed
new territory. The agricultural pro
ducts of Porto Rico and the Philip
pines are net such as are produced
ty our farmers, and on the other
hand, the products that we raise are
things not raised there. Not until
Kansas raises coffee, tea, hemp and
rice will she have cause to be anxious
over cheap labor in Porto Rico and
the Philippines.
The farmers know what is what.
and have the good sense to see that
wherever expansion stimulates the
production Of articles that We largely
do not produce at all it not only
makes better market for the homo
producer, but cheapens the cost Of
much that he is obliged to consume,
thus creating double benefit.

A Missouri exchange says: "The
item to the effect that Missouri
man was fined $40 for beating his
mule and 81 for whipping his wife is
being commented upon by the east
'ern papers as reflection on Missouri
justice. 1t is no such thing. In
Missouri a mule is worth 800 and a
woman who would stay with a mau
who would whip her isn't worth a
tinker's DAM"

the fact that the next House will elect

I win swear YOU owe him debt for
the enemies he has made, and by
whom he is handicapped In his race
for governor today. There never was
a Democrat who stood before the De-
mocracy Of Kentucky as heavily han
dicapped as that candidate Is now. he
has the serried, unbroken ranks OF the
Republican party in front OF him TO-
fight. He Is threatened with the da-
lection Of the boiling Democrats on his
flank, whilst piled on top, like noun
tain on mountain, come the railroad
and the corporate wealth and power
of which he has spoken, in an en-
deavor to drag him down and defeat
him. He is carrying every handicap
that was ever put upon a candidate
but we are not whining about II, ana
we do not propose to do so. We Will
meet the combined opposition OF all
our enemies from without, and the
cowardly flank movements OF traitoTS
from within. We will meet and grapple
with corporate wealth and corporate
power and corporate exactions; we VIII
meet the world, the flesh and the devil.

Democracy is united and Is the real

MANLY DECLARATION.
Why Blackburn Favors the McChord
Bill and Goebel Law.

Your state platform tells you that
we indorse what is known as the Nc
Chord bill that passed a Democratic
legislature and died at the hands of a
Republican governors veto. That
platform tells you that we indorse
what is known as the Chinn school
book bill, which put the knife into the
vitals of the American schoolbook
trust and protects the pocket of the
poor parents of the common school pu-
pills throughout the limits of this COM
monwealth. That platform tells you
that we indorse the newly passed cleo
tion law known as the Goebel bill, and

those measures ] am here today to de-
fend~and uphold.

BURNING WORDS OF BLACKBURN.

National and State Issues of Mighty

At the formal and highly successful

campaign at Mayfeld on Saturday, Au-

sounded and national and state issues
eloquently and clearly defined before a
thTong of 5000 of the faithful of
Graves county. Senator ]. c. S. Black
burn and Hon. William Goebel, our
gallant standard bearer, were the ora
tors Of the day and were accorded
welcome such as only the stalwarts Of
the banner Democratic county of the
state can give.
Senator Blackburn, in his speech, ex-
'haustively reviewed the problem now
confronting the citizens of the state,
and Iucidly outlined the true position
of the loyal Democrat in the present
vital contest. The dissenters came in
for a large share of attention. Ma

] know, my friends, that you have
heard great deal of criticism and
abuse heaped upon what is known as
the Goebel election law. / am not go
ing to argue that to you. Goebel said
enough about it. All l want to say
on the subject is this: A Democratic
legislature passed it, and a Republic
an governor vetoed it. Every Repub-
lican on the stump today is demanding
a repeal OF that election law. Every
Republican newspaper and every Re-
publican orator and every Republican
candidate sweGrs that the Republican
party will never rest in peace until 1t
repeats the Goebel election law All
right. Let them win this fight in No
vember, If God forgets to be gracious
to us and if reign of the devil on
earth is to be inaUgurated and Ken
lucky is to be doomed to four more
years of Republican incapacity and
misrule, Let them carry this state in
the coming election and elect their
state ticket and carry the legislature,
and will bet my right arm against
counterfeit nickel; / will bet my hope
of my souls salvation against eoun-
terfeit penny that with the aid Of
search warrant you cannot find UNI
buried on this earth a single solitary
Republican who would not jump in the
river before he would vote to repeal
