GOV. ROSWELL p. FLOWER dieo
suddenly at Eastport, L. l., OF heart
failure. He had been a sufferer from
gastritis for some time, though he ap'
peared in robust health, when he at
tended the Eastport Country Club Al
congressman and as governor he served
the Empire State acceptably. He went
with the gold democrats in 1896 and
mas since figured little in politics
Everything he touched seemed TO turn
TO gold and he leaves many millions
with a wife and only child, married
daughter, as lawful heirs.

TAYLOR has finally announced his
candidacy for governor and Stone Ii
expected to shy his castor in the ring
In a day or two. 1t is said that the plan
of the republican machine is to run
Stone for all he is worth In this part ol
the State and Taylor in the Western
part and TO combine on the strongest oi
the tive. II Judge c. j. Pratt, OF Madi-
sonville, should develop more strength
than either. Pratt had the temerity TO
announce his candidacy without con-
sulting Deboe and his crowd aud he
will be made to suffer for his sin,
though he is said to be an eminently
respectable man and better qualified
than either of the machine representa-
tives. This Is not a republican year,
but If that party should put up such an
ignoramus as the individual who brings
contempt on the Office OF attorney gen.
eral, it will court defeat and Justly and
very eminently deserve 1t.

IN his speech at Munfordsville Sat
urday, Mr.. Hardin worked himself into
fine frenzy and went for Stone and
Goebel most savagely. He charged
Goebel with having voted against an
antitrust bill in the Legislature and
defied ''the boss" as he called him and
his machine, or any combination that
he and Stone could make. Then he
went for Stone. ridiculed his free silver
record and accused him Of conniving at
the opposition to Blackburn's election.
The whole speech was red hot stuff and
if there is not a fight or foot race be-
fore the campaign ends, all signs fail
in this kind of weather.
On being shown a report OF Mr.. Har
din's speech, Senator Goebel said that
the charges made by Hardin were ao-
solutely false and promised to say

The republican papers are raising a
hellibelloo because Gov. Merriman,
director OF the census, is said 10 have
suggested TO Senator Deboe the pro-
priety of naming corps of census sn'

comprise six republicans and five deml
ocrats. There doesn't seem To be any
reason for a kick. Democrats can count
at least as good as republicans, except

Kissing Court Bibles.

Magistrate Pool, of the Morrisania
court of New York, has turned the
Bible out Of his court He is quoted as
saying: 81 won't swear anyone on the
Bible, or tell them to kiss it. There is
no law TO compel anyone TO do SO. In
court al manner of persons kiss the
Bible, which in such places becomes a
breeder OF disease" SO hereafter he
will swear folks in his court by having
them hold up their hands Court Bibles
cannot be nice kissing, and a police
court Bible after days work must be
thing 10 be handled with tongs, right
ly remarks a writer in Harper's Weekly.
There may be, and probably are, per-
sons who feel that they can speak more
truthfully after kissing the Book, and
perhaps for them Bible ought TO be
available. But the habitual kissing of
Bibles in court is a dreary and unsani-
tary performance which ought TO fade
out OF every court just as soon as civili-
zation in that locality reaches a point
where it can be spared. oaths made by
placing the hand on the Bible, or by
holding up the hand, or by whatever
form most influences the witness mind
are just as effective and Just as binding
as those in which the Bible is kissed
In spite OF the higher criticism, the
Bible means great deal to the average
man. and perhaps its presence in courts
is useful, but the formal kissing of II
by witnesses is a fit custom to abolish

McChord's statement" referring to
the charge that Brown was ready and
anxious up to the last TO accept a
nomination at the hands OF the Louis
Vile convention, even after it had In
dorsed the Goebel law. Browns only
answer was that be would choose his
own subjects to speak on. 1t is very
natural that he shouldn't want TO speak
on that after Senator McChord and
Urey Woodson have proved his state
ment in the matter false as to his claim
that he said the nomination must come
to him clean. The only man, living or
dead, who had ever been arrested aud
censured by an American Congress on
the charge OF inability to tell the
truth, evidently doesn't want to keep
on classifying.

Gov. ". STONE, OF Missouri, Is
speniing the week in Kentucky max
ing speeches for the democratic ticket.
He has no personal ends to serve but Is
solely interested In Kentucky going
democratic and paving the way Tor a
glorious victory for Bryan in 1900 and
the election of Joe Blackburn TO the
Senate, where he is so much needed.
Every one knows" said he, that
either Goebel or Taylor will be elect
ed. There il no other possible alter
native. Goebel is democrat and the
nominee of his party convention; Tay-
lor il a republican and the nominee OF
his party convention. One OF these
will be the next governor of Kentucky.
Looking to the future, looking to the
political effect OF this election on the
country, looking to 1900, how can any
loyal democrat hesitate as to his duty.
Why, gentlemen, If there be any among
you who have personal antipathy or OBJ
lection TO Mr.. Goebel, then put Goebel
and Taylor aside aud look at Bryan and
Mckinley as they rise TO view little
way beyond" That is what democrats
should do. Brown is not in the race
to,be elected. He is only stalking
horse for Taylor and the democrat who
votes for him aids in the election OF
Taylor. Are YOU willing to place the
government 10 the hands of such a
man? If not, turn from the error OF
your way and help US to give the DEM
ocratic ticket &c, 900 majority.
