up court-martial verdicts, where officers are
convicted of embezzlement, but little would
be said on the subject. But the records

It is sinister comment on the conditions
in France that Maitre Labori, the brave and
noble advocate, is afraid to, speak for Drey-
fus for fear that mis- unpopularity with the
element that tried TO have him assassinated
might hurt the prisoner! AS things look
it is not impossible that a common move
ment may have to be undertaken to expel
France from the family of civilized nations.

The idea that free transportation
is given literally to the different de-
partments of the State government,
or State officials, for corrupt ends,
is not true. The custom originated
In the years when the utmost good
will and most cordial cooperation
existed between the railroads and
the people and their officials. 1t
was, in word, a courtesy that has
since grown into custom.
1t certainly does not operate to
influence favorable Legislation or
court rulings or decisions. II it has
any effect along these lines it is
against the railroads. For instance,
the Legislatures that have used the
courtesy most largely were most
hostile and those using 1t least were
most just, none being really friendly.
The Legislature Of 1897 used more
free transportation than any other
in the history of the State, by many
times over, and yet 1t was the most
hostile to the railroads, and went in
it's drastic legislation dangerously
near the line of bankrupting that
interest. The Legislature of 1899
the present one-used less free trans
portation than any other for many
years past, and yet il was, in the
main, conservative and fair in the
railroad interest.
The railroads, however, neither
defend nor condemn this system of
courtesies, and neither have nor will
they make any effort to sustain or
abolish it; but on my own response
5ility 1 will remark that when 1t is
abolished the people may prepare
for a greatly swollen appropriation
bill every Legislature, embracing
every department of the State gov
eminent, for necessary travelling
expenses. -Extract from an address
by Col. Gates before the Jackson
Farmers Institute.

SHORT ON CARS.
Cement Mills In Indiana Unable
to Keep up With Their Orders

The lack of cars is causing
widespread distress among all
classes of shippers, but among
none is the shortage felt SO keen
ly as by the cement manufacture
ers. In Clark county, Ind, the
mills have orders for almost un-
limited quantities, but it is i'm
possible to fill them because
freight cars can not be had. The
warehouses are filled to their full
capacity and telegraph wires are
kept hot with inquiries, but there
is no prospect of early relief.
During last week, Speeds
mill succeeded in shipping 500
barrels, the largest amount sent
out for a long time. A requisi-
ton was made the same day the
shipment was sent out for 500
cars, and the most the company
could get was fifteen. All other
mills and other lines of business
are having a similar experience.
The above is from one of the
chief organs of calamity-howling.
They say that there is prosperity
in the country and yet are ever
ready to howl calamity, when
there is no calamity to howl
about. 80, consistency, what
a jewel thou art"

DR.. POWELL HEARD FROM.
Another Prominent rlinister
Speaks Out.

Strong sermon at Louisville, First
Christian Church last Sunday by
DIR. Powell:
Proverb.. II, Xxxiv.: righteous
ness exalteth, but sin is reproach
to my name"
This was the'teXt selected by the
Rev. f.. l.. Powell of the First
Christian Church last night with
which to plead for uprightness and
honesty in politics, to arouse the
people of Kentucky to a realization
of the condition of things and to a
sense of the duty that confronts
them at this time of political crisis
in state politicst. Closing, he said !:
"If there is any wrongdoing 10000
people will demand to know the rea-
son why. 1t lis not the time for the
pulpit to keep quit. Homes legisla-
ton is as necessary ps prayer and
we must act as wei as talk, Some
people pooh-pool Peligion, and be-
lieve that to be a. Christian is to be
less man. This is not the time for
that sort of feeling. We are too
much inclined to dodge the respOn-
sibility. If we arise az honest men
and demand that the honored name
of our state be not smirched, there
is nothing we can not do and the cor
ruptionists will be powerless before
us. But we are too prone to dodge
the issue and to think we have done
our duty when we have shouted for
the stars and stripes. This Is crit
ical time, and | want to tell you 1t
is time for you to wake up and to
see the condition of things.
81 am talking to you in the inter-
est of no candidate nor of any party,
but as man to whom the states
honor is dear and as minister In
the interest of righteousness, a
righteousness that is intended to
govern other things beside the
church,
1t was strong sermon and made
a deep impression upon the large
congregation present. DR.. Powell Is
one of Kentucky's greatest and
most useful ministers.
