THE BOLT IN KENTUCKY.

If there had been a doubt that the
Democratic bolt in Kentucky was assum-
ing large proportions, that doubt was re-
moved when the anti Goebel State Conven-
ton assembled at Lexington on the 18th
inst. There were fully I, 1000 Democrats in
the Chautauqau Auditorium, Of whom 900
were delegates. The convention nominal
ed Hon. John Young Brown for Governor,
and the nominating speech was made by
Theodore F. Hallam, of GoebePs own
county, Kenton. The speech of Mr.
Hallum was a whitening piece Of wit and
invective and the resolutions adopted
very denunciatory of the action of the
Louisville convention which nominated
Goebel.
The situation for the Democracy in Ken
lucky has assumed a very forlorn appear
ance. w ueu t,OOO representative
Democrats, assembled in one meeting,
declare they will not support the regular
party ticket, and place an opposition tick
ct before the people,it is evidence that the
party is hopelessly divided, and that hide
bound craftsmanship has been cast aside for
the time being.
When Goebe was nominated the Stone
and Hardin factions claimed that the
nomination had been procured by fraud,
and gave ventto strong dissatisfaction. A
bolt was at once outlined, and it has been
gathering strength all the time, until it
eliminated in the convention which NOM
mated Brown on the 10th inst.
Not only was hostility provoked against
GoebeI bv the mannerin which he secured
the nomination for Governor, but that
hostility has been intensified by his
personal and political record. He was the
author and patton of the present outrage

ser,ous menace 10 ncalrn.

It would be safe to say that preserva-
tives. in anything to be eaten, in the
shape of boracic acid, salycilic acid,
formalin, and the whole family, are
damage to the health of those who eat
them, says New York Farmer. No
number of certificates from chemists
and medical men who are willing to sell
an opinion on these subjects should
have any weight with sensible people.
There has been good deal of such
dirty work done, and by men who rate
themselves as authorities in such ques-
tons, but such opinions have no weight
among their professional brethren
whose opinions are not for sale. 1t
seems pity that such men can have
any standing among their honest and
conscientious brethren, and if the truth
could be fully known we opine such
would be found to be the case.

SAFETY AND STATES RIGHTS.
a Southern Newspaper Appears to Pre-
fer the Former TO the Latter.

Dallas News Qnd. Dem.l.
The Tallulah lynrhing may result in
some kind of federal legislation to protect
the nation from costly international trou-
bles of this kind. The "News" con-
siders that it will be DECIDEDLY unfortunate
when the old pride and prerogative of the
State have to be further interfered with.
But the ardent advocate of States rights
will admit that something must be done
at once. 1t is not enough that we object
to the dangerous ENFORCEMENT Of the
Federal authority. This is bad, to be
sure but is hardly worse than organized
outawry, midday mnbs. gangs of men
riding tue country over seeking whom they
may shoot dswn or hang, and openly
defying the local or State authorities.
1t is at least fair TO require Of the advo-
Gates of States rights, the sturdy oppo-
nents of the hard rule suggested by "The
Philadelphia Press" some suggestion look
ing to the Improvement OF present con-
ditions in several of the States, conditions
which said States appear to be wholly I'M
able to improve. Something must be
done. What shall he done? The Republl-
can idea is to give to the Federal authori-
ties power to punish Iynchela, at least in
cases involving the safety and lives of
citizens of other nations. Some Republi-
cans stop with no condition whatever, but
contend that the Federal Government is
in duty bound to protect every citizen of
the nation against organized bands of men
who assume authority 10 take property or
life without due process of law, whether
the violent attempt is made at home or
abroad. One thing is growing more APP
parent every day. 1t is the fact that the
advocates Of States rights have OH them
growing burden. 1t lies with them to
suggest lawful and democratic remedy
for the present disease, which really
seems TO Lave grown chronic in some OF
the States. 1t will not do for them to
stop with the old scream against Federal
encroachment and ful The sovereignty OF
tie State. That under present condi-
tions, is not enough.
This is the plain truth about it. Some
means Of applying the laws fairly and
promptly, some method Of protecting the
property and lives Of the weak, some pre-
ventive Of organized outlawry must be
Suggested and adopted as a means Of
saving the prestige and power of the
American States The News" hopes sin
cerely that some effective plan may be
devised without TOO long delay. There
can be no question that the unrestrained
mob, whether in Georgia or Ohio or New
York or Louisiana, is making daley thou,
sands of converts to the idea that the
only remedy for the present ills must be
found in all extension of Federal authori-
ty. Here danger lies. To avoid this
danger it is in order for every devotee OF
State sovereignty and local self-govern-
ment to say and do all in his power to
prove the State worthy of the high pusi-
ton it has been given in the political
system devised by the founders of the
great Republic.

The Way They Do 1t in Kansas.

Kanass City Journal" (Rep).
Up to this time there has not been a
Democratic convention in Kansas which
did not demand that the flag be hauled
down in the Philippines. However, it is
very significant that only about half of the
Populist conventions have made such a
pusilanimous declaration, aud the truth
seems to be that the Populist party is
very much divided on this question. In
Fort Scott on Saturday both the Demo
Gratis and Populists held conventions.
They were entirely agreed as to candi-
dates, but differed on the questions of the
war. The Democrats adopted resolu-
ton demanding that we let go in the
Philippines and run, while the Populists
avoided any mention of the issue. Both

the Republican candidate for District
Judge, thus making the situation more
singular still.

sunnendera for Giria.

One of the new fads is to wear regu-
lar mems suspenders with the shirt
waists and golf skirts. These suspend
ers are made Of colored or white silk
elastic and webbing, and have leather
straps, just us mems have. Some Of
them are embroidered and are very
pretty. One pair seen some time since,
designed as birthday gift for a smart
young miss, was of white, beautifully
embroidered in meadow daisies. The
delicate shades of pink and white were
exceedingly effective. The fad is to
have the suspenders show underneath
the summer shirt waist, if possible; SO,
of course, they must be worn over
dainty corset cover, lace trimmed and
set off with ribbons.-Chlcago Times

INCREASING TRADE.

Until recently it was thought that there
would be a falling off in the export trade OF
the United States this year, as compared
with last year. This view was based upon
the fact that in May and June there was "A
considerable decrease, which produced a
gloomy feeling, and almost became scare,
lest there should be q scarcity of money
and an uufavorable trade balance for the
year.
In the middle Of the month of July,
however, there were strong indications
that another surprise would be furnished
the world in the export trade Of our coun'
try. There was developed an unexpected
Midsummer demand for American grain
and also for our manufactured articles. In
the latter there was a gain of $4,000, 600

bera we sold and sent away $50, 900, 600 in
July, 1898. more than we did in July 1898.
For the calendar year 1899 it is confident
ly predicted that American manufactures
will reach the remarkable proportion of
SO per cent, or one third of our total ex-
ports.
The excellent corn crop and good wheat
hlrvest of the United States, with the
shortage of the grain crops in other coun-
tries is certain to cause an enormous ex-
port of grain from our country, at good
prices. This, coupled with the largely in
creased expectation of manufactured ar
ticles, promises to make the record Tor
1899 better, even, than that of 1898.

New Conditions in the Iron Trade.
Philadelphia Record.l

Philadelphia Record
The Bulletin of the American Iron and
Steel Association august l5) contains a
prolix history of the association, but 1t Is
singulary silent upon the important SUBJ
iect of the condition of the iron market,
present and prospective. The fact is that
silence is golden-at times-and the editor
of The Bulletin, after having freely ex-
pressed his views in former issues, evil
IDENTITY thinks that this is one Of the times
to show wisdom by RETAINING from COM
ment. Mr.. Swanck has consistently and
persistenty stated in his journal that
prices of iron and steel would not advance
greatly, either for the raw material or Tor
the finished product; but for several
months past it has been observed as a sin
ruar coincidence flat Simultaneously
with the appearance Of the official organ
containing these oracular words each
month a general rise in prices has occurred
all along the line. For months the views
of the editor Of The Bulletin were accept
ed by the majority of people in the iron
trade, both producers and consumers; fol
they accorded with the general Judgment
based OH former experiences. Now, how
ever, everybody Adults that new condi
tons have come into existence which
have entirely altered The status of TIT
trade; and past experiences are of little o
no value as indications Of what may be eX
peeled in the future.
Watcher the increased capacity for pro
ducton Of iron and steel will equal or ex
coed tie increased consumption is tn

while there is no occasion for uneasiness O

Therefore there can be no topic more i'm

London In a Hot Spell.
Edgar Fawcett in Golfers weekly'l


In the apathetic state of Parliament and
the pacific outlook of matters Transvaa'
liam, little else is talked about but the
heat. London thermometers record
eighty-nine degrees, but last Wednesday
and Friday it felt very much like New
York in her upper "nineties." lfa long
term of tropic weather should once fasten
itself on this mighty town, there is no tell
ing what horrors might ensue. London
ers NAV we'll say that the poor are always
with them for, the metropolis. from
Whitechapel to kensington, is streaked
and dotted with sluns. Disease, if it
really broke Roadway, would spread like
tie flames of powder sifted along laby-
rinthe lines. AS it is, you see everywhere
how ill prepared is this hugest capital
for a week of what some of our smaller
American cities endure month at a
stretch. Heat is SO rare here that it al
ways takes folk by surprise. Men swelter
in frock coats and silk hats women I'M
less they are rich and modish, look almost
vainly through their wardrobes for gown
of lighter wool. Already, though the
DAYS have grown cooler, an ice famine is
threatened. The Thames, too, has per-
ceptibly lowered, and gloomy prophets
are already muttering that fits current
should continue to dwindle plague
would follow. Refreshing drinks exist
only at one or two American bars, where
they are very expensive and for the most
part very poor. No; London was made
for the GOODNESS which luckily go seldom
deserts her.

HONEST POLITICS.

Is there such thing as honest politics?
We believe there is, and to that extent we
are willing to be called old fashioned
Honest politics is necessarily clean politics.
and that is what every true son OF Firglni"
should wish to have in our State Most
of Tie people, we confess, are pessimisac
on the question, having been made so 10y
the machine politicians, who have unceas-
singly labored to teach the masses that
there is no principle in politics, and that
success is the one thing TO be desired, re-
gardless of methods. The danger of negro
supremacy has been harped upon by the
Democratic machine politicians at the
South, not because there vas any such
danger possible, but merely to incrte the
white voters against the Republican party
and to give the Democratic machines COM
plete control of the situation.
We do not doubt that in other sections
politics are not as clean as they should be;
but in no section of the Union are they as
unclean as at the South, Virginia incluG-
ed. Fraud, violence, deception and every
method known is employed by parti-
san politicians to advance their interests
and that Of their party. If they are charg'
ed with committing fraud or violence
they plead in justification the danger o.
negro supremacy, and deceive otherwise
honest men into their support by mere
chimera. The honest men are quiescent
until they find that those whose pretended
chief object was to avert negro domination
are cheating Democrats as we'll as robbins
and terrorizing Republicans. Then Their

the strains of the wedding march fioated
through the home of Thomas II. Platt.
No. 126 Hampton street. The brilliant
March was played by Mrs. Ed. Reeves,
and moment later there entered the par
lor, Clinton B. Ayars, son of B. S. Ayars,
and Miss Rose R. Platt, only daughter of
the host Standing beneath o'er stretch.
ing palms, with background of solid
flowers, banked to the ceiling. the young
people plighted their troth, Rev. G. L.
Hart conducting the services that made
them husband and wife.
1t was distinctively home wedding,
and the ceremony was performed in the
presence of few less than one hundred in
vited guests. There were no bridesmaid
or best man, the couple standing alone.
and the ceremony became the more
beautiful and impressive, because of its
simplicity, and lack of ostentation.
The bride was handsomely gowned in
dress of pure white organdie, trimmed
with satin ribbons. She carried white
bridal roses, and maiden hair fern, the
latter with its fresh green, being the only
dash of color to her attire.
After the congratulations, sincere and
earnest. and the wedding collation., ad-
mirably served, Mr.. and Mrs. Ayars
were whirled away to their handsomely
prepared home, No. Oil Atlantic street,
where they will be at home to their
friends.
The high regard in which the couple
are held by their many friends, was par
ticularly shown in the many beautiful
