services after which all that was NOR

prise and regret was that of Professor
Rice Miller. who died in Jessamine

ceased was educated at Central UNI

with Guerrant, Lackey, LoWrey, Jones,
and other aforementioned students
The burial took place in this city on
Thursday. Prof Miller was Onceprin-

time pr his death, was at the head of the
Hardin Collegiate Institute Of Central
University, at ElizabethtOwn. Ii was

young lady, who, as the bride of only

This poem OF the lamented Eugene

The little toy dog is covered with dust,
But sturdy and staunch he stands; ~
And the little toy soldier is red with rust, 8
And his muskct monldsin his hand.
Time was when the little toy dog was new.
And the soldier was passing fair; e
And that was the time when our Little BOY Blue

From the general discussion about
the streets, hotels, and what could be

many more men would vote against the

WHAT A BROWN MAN SAYS, BE GOSH!
As one strong Brown Democrat said:
lit seems pretty rough to make fight
for honesty in politics, win the fight
against terrific odds, and then by the
first fruits of the victory have Maj. w.
e. Owens nominated for Congress by
the Brown men and Republicans, and
Squire w. j. Mcnamara pardoned by a
Republican Governor. i had intended
to vote for Owens, but think I'll just
vote for Gayle this time"
LOOKS LIKE PAYING POLITICAL DEBTS.
There were during the gubernatorial
canvass many rumors of political deals
in regard to this pardon; it was current
ly reported that certain influences in
Lexington offered to 90 for Taylor and
Milward upon the condition that McNa-
mara should be pardoned. These ru-
mors could not he verified and so were

Governor Taylor within the first week
of his administration is due to such
promises or to the fact that the cola

to the influence of those in whom he

sense of justice based on the reasons

governor of Kentucky to-day, which
will mark the darkest hour in the
States history. UncOuth, unlettered
and unlearned, with repulsive person
atty and the manners of a monkey,
with no idea above a narrow minded
craftsmanship and no claim to more
than certain kind OF shrewdness pc
culiar to his class, he is as unfit as be
could possibly be to occupy the exalted
position OF governor of a great State

besides being vested in the ways of a
gentleman. is a man of sterling sense
and has tried to condnet the affairs oil
State SD as to maintain its high repu-
tsticn, but Taylor is possessed of none
of the attributes OF craftsmanship and
is bound to prove an incubus on the
State and disgrace to the crowd that
helped 10 put him in power. 1t is, in
deed, sad day for Kentucky. but we
are not without hope, since the Legis
lature will likely correct the great
wrong that has been prepetrated.

THE Republicans of the House of
Representatives, led by member from
Indiana whose name is Crumpacs er,
propose 10 cut down the Representation
of those States that have Disseminated
against the negro as Mississippi has
done with her" understanding" clause.
and AS Louisiana has done under her
grandfather" clause. The honorable
member from Indina proposes to lay q
foundation for his raid by requiring the
director of the census to report the vot-
ing population of the several States in
a separate table. They then propose 10
act under the terms of the Fourteenth
amendment, which SAYS the basis OF
representation shall be reduced if the
vote at any election be in any way
abridged.
The particular targets of the Repub-
lican sharpshoUters will he Mississippi
and Louisiana. In Mississippi the
voter must be able to understand a
c ause of the State constitution when il
isread to him.-his amount of under
standing to be decided by the election
officers. As result of the cause the
number of voters dwindled in the Con-
gressionai vote of 1898 to 30 600, out of
a possible vote of .27l 900 according to
census of 1890. Lu. Louisiana voters
must read ami write, but all who were

q 200,563 possible voters cJunted in
1891.
As The basis of representation i'm Con-
Sress is now la, 900 and will be higher,
this would on the face of the situation
reduce the two States to one member
each, but it will do nothing of the
kind. because all of the States, or near
ly all, haze some restrictions that oper-
ate to abridge the right to vote. liza
beginning be made in Mississippi and
Louisiana, it is scarcely probably that a
halt will be called until the representa-
lions OF Massachusetts and PennsyI-
vauia are reduced. In Massachusetts
the vOter must be able to read and
write, and in Pennsylvania he must
have paid tax within two years.
Both provisions reduce the number of
voters, and if Mississippi and Louisiana
are treated to dose of the Fourteenth
amendment, Massachusetts and Penn
sylvanla must take some of the same
medicine. This they will not-agree to
do.
