As II Should Be.

The celebration of the anniversary
of the destruction of the battleship
Maine was duly observed at Calves
ton, Texas, on Wednesday. In fitting
accord with that beautiful sword
and Bible, purchased by the Sunday
school children of Texas, were pre-
sented to Commodore John w.
Philip, who commanded the battle
ship Texas during the war with
Spain. The sword was made by the
same firm who designed the Dewey
sword, and cost $4,000. The presen-
tation was in approval Of Commo-
dore Philips public utterance after
the Santiago fight, acknowledging
the sovereignty of Almighty God
The battleship Texas was there,
commanded by Capt. Sigsbee, and
all the officers and men attended the
ceremony.
This is as ii should be. IL this
nation ever accomplishes the great
and grand purposes for which God
created it, it will do it by recognizing
His authority and hOnoring the man
who hold allegiance to him.

Former Cold Spells.

The Coolest inhabitant," who has
asserted that the severe weather Of
the past two weeks during which
time the mercury has ranged from
a. to 330 below zero, is not so bad as
some other time i'm his recollection,
may think he is correct, but we
doubt il.
From a record, kept since 1858, we
find that the only occasion upon
which the weather came near being
as severe as this, was on Saturday,
January 9Th, 1884, when the mercury
went down to 20 degrees below zero,
and lowered Whereabouts for several
days. Snow had fallen to the depth
Of some eight inches.
During the time a cold rain set In
for few hours, then turning colder
again, the whole face of the country
was covered with ice, making i,
dangerous for pedestrians and serious
ly interfering with business.
1t was also said that the ther
mometer at Lawrenceburg showed
81 degrees below zero, near about the
same it showed there this time.
Take it all in all, we guess it mus
be conceded that our present ex
perience takes the bakery.

FRANKFORT. FEBRUARY 10. 1899.
Governors Mansion.

Some of our citizens have been
somewhat disappointed that the old
Governors Mansion was not totally
destroyed by the recent fire. While
all agree that a new house, out and
out, would be much the most desir-
able, we are facing condition
and not theory.
1t is well known that Governor
Bradley, in two different messages,
urged upon the Legislature the
building of new Mansion for the
Governors residence. 1t is also
well known that large number of
the members of the two last Legisla-
lures were opposed to so doing, and
rather favored the sale of the house
they then had and turning the
money into the State Treasury, thus
curtailing the emoluments of the
Governor by not furnishing him a
house.
This feeling prevented anything
from being done towards building a
new house, and it still exists.
Now then, we think it the part of
wisdom, knowing these facts, to at
once take steps, through Custodian
Thompson (who, we think, UNI
doubtedly has the power to do SOY, TO
repair and reft the present house so
that it will be almost, if not al
together, as good as new.
This should be done at the very
earliest possible moment, 50 as to
forestall and prevent any hostile
action upon the part of the enemies
of our city.
The sum which will be recovered
through the insurance carried on the
old building will be enough for this
work, and it should be utilized soon
as received.
The Custodian has the right to use
this money i'm repairing and retitting
the house, and we know that he is
willing to do 50. We are confident,
also, that this will meet the sanction
of Governor Bradley, who has always
been a friend to Frankfort. Any
one, with half an eye, can see how
greatly this will be to the interest of
this city, and we cannot too earnest
ly and quickly get this matter in
shape.
Gov. Bradley will complete his
term next December, so, if the
present house is repaired, it will not
be ready for him to reoccupy for q
large part Of the time he still has to
serve, and it will make hut little
difference to him personally what is
done; but it will be serious matter
to the new Governor, and to this
city.
We are fully warranted in saying
from our knowledge of Gov. Brad
ley, that he feels a deep sOlicitude
about the interests of this city, and
will second every effort to forward
her interest.
