An exaggerated Importance has been
given the political contest in Kentucky
by the appearance of Mr.. Bryan in the
canvass. The defeated candidate for
the presidency in 1896 is Impressing up
on his hearers that 1t is essential to
Democratic hopes of success in 1900
that Kentucky should return to the
Democratic column this fall. OF in 9TH
er words that the triumph of Goebel
win materially injure the Republican
cause. The situation does not Justify
any such strained Interpretation.
shorn Of the elements Of party strife In
the Blue Grass state the election of
Goebel will not from any point Of view
effect the morale Of the Republican po-
sItion next year, and Mr.. Bryan is
speaking idle words when he seeks to
Instlll that belief in the Kentucky
Bourbons.
Kentucky has always been a Demo-
cratic state, and its remuneration Of
Bryan In 1895 was brought about by the
adoption of the glaringly un-Democrat-
lie Chicago platform. The honest DEM
ocrats Of the state would have nothing
to do with 1t. They resented 1t as an In
suit to their intelligence and vile SLAM
der on the traditions of the party.
The danger that confronted the coun-
try in 1895 was happily ayerted and
kentucky sound money Democrats aid
ed in rebukIng the impertinence of the
"Boy Orator Of the Platte" There is
now no particular menace to the sound
money finances of the nation, for with
the defeat of Bryan and the attending
success of the Republicans In states
that were represented in the United
states senate by Democrats that
branch Of the national legislature has
been made safely Republican for years
to come. - ~
50 the financial fallacy Of IS to 1 that
Bryan continues to expeund with all
thefervor he dlsplayedin the last cam
paign will have little effect on the DEM
ocrats Of Kentucky who opposed him
In 1895. Many of these same Democrats
win undoubtedly vote for the regular
democratic nominee for governor Of
kentucky, but In doing SO they viii not
surrender in any measure the position
they maintained when they cast their
votes against Bryan,
The fight in Kentucky is purely a To-
cal one, no matter how far Mr.. Bryan
may seek to mlslead the country on
that point. Kentucky is normally
Democratic, and the success of Goebel
will in nowlse effect the hopes and the
confidence of the people of the country
In the Republican party and the
triumph Of Its everlasting principles of
right and Justice with William McKin-
ley as its standard bearer in 1900.

ackngWledged 70 be sound on business
matters ana It throws great chunks Of
information at Senator Jones. It gives
the senator a happy surprise by assur-
ing him that mot only have the rail-
roads been doing an enormous busineHs
for months, but there is now such car
famine as was never before known;
that the leading companies cannot
"beg, borrow. or steal" cars enough TO
carry the freight which Is thrust upon
them. and shippers are ready to pay
higher rates Il they can only have their
freight moved. Also that there Is a
like scarcity Of boats on the great
lakes, as the boom in iron has caused
an unprecedented demand for the car
rlage Of iron ore by water, and the
steamers have little room left for grain
and provisions. The Evening Post
quotes a prominent railroad man as
saying that there Is now enough busl-
ness in sight to keep every railroad car
busy for months to come.
Having enlightened the senator as to
the activity of business interests, and
assured him that the country is pros
porous, and that all classes are sharing
in its prosperity, the Evening Post con-
cludes It's lesson with the suggestion
that the only thing left for the senator
and the rest of the Bryanites is to claim
that the universal prosperity is due to
the general belief that Bryan win be
elected President in 1900.
The Post adds that this would not be
much more ridiculous than the Republic
can claim that 1t is due to the Dingley
tariff Of 1897. While no one has claimed
that the tariT has all to do with the
present prosperity of the land, yet 1t
has been a marvellous help to It. 1t has
started idle workshops. lighted fireless
furnaces. given working men employ
ment and has brought about the won
derfm growth of manufactured ex-
ports. And this Is the law that the
Democrats claimed would wipe out that
class of trade with foreign countries.
Before the country is through with Mr..
Jones he will feel like taking another
trip abroad.

A correspondent of the Chicago

a room in the hotels of the City OF
Mexico is 81 a day. Singularly
enough, the location of the room
does not affect its price. 1t may be
on the first or fourth floor, front or
back; it will be 81 just the same.
This equals 81 in American mon
