WRECKS.


From the New York Sun.
There are two men in the United States
senate who are no longer of any use
there. Their utility is gone and cannot be
renewed. When they speak It will be the
trining voice of n cantankerous fanati-
cism and nothing more. When they raise
their hands be fore the eyes of their COL
leagues they will be as though they were
fresh dipped in the American blood shed
at Manila. No one respects them and no
one will ever again believe that either or
them can be trusted in public affairs
This is true of them in respect to their
own states as well as in the country at
large.
Senator Hoar has closed a long and
honorable career by putting into full
practice all the methods of degraded
politics against which his whole life had
been continuous protest. Having
reached the fulness of mans allotted
time in the useful and credtable dis
charge of his public duties and in clean
and reputable association with the frst
men in the nation, he has put all his
teachings behind him and has gone else
where. No other man in our public life
has made such sacrifices to ruin him
self and undo his own career as Sena-
tor Hoar. Senator Hale Is the other SEN
ator OF conspicuous and permanent dis
ability, but 1t has not been SO great a
sacrifice on his part. lie did not have
so far to step as the Massachusetts sena-
tor and he does not suffer the same moral
discomfort in his new associations.
%
Nothing would more become these two
senators than the contrite recognition OF
the evil they have attempted and failed
in that would be implied In the reslgna-
tion of their seats. Were they to rcturn
whence they came and seek by honest
and steadfast labor in the ranks TO atone
for their treaChery to their country and
their felony toward their party they
might be forgiven, and. as mems minds
run nowadays, forgotten. Today they
lag superfluous and offensive where they
stand

Lexington Ky, Aug. 16.--From every
county but nine of the 119 composing the
State, one of the most remarkable gath
perings of Kentuckians ever assembled
in the interest of any political cause met
today. in accordance with the call of
Chairman p. T. Johnston, of the State
Central Anti-Goebel Democratic com
mittee for the purpose of nominating q
full ticket to oppose the ticket nominated
at Louisville in June, and headed by
William Goebel. Over 1900 were in
their seats in the Convention Hall, of
whom over 900 were delegates. All
were seated at 1:5J p. M, when Hon
Phil Thompson, ST., called the conven-
ton to order. The resolutions adopted
declare the Louisville nominees not
nominees of the Democratic party: de
mand the enactment of a law giving
force to the section of the State consti-
tuition, which provides for deprivation
of office by any persons who, to secure
his nomination or election has been
guilty of the unlawful use of money OF
other things of value, or has been guilty
of fraud or intimidation, bribery or cor
rupt practice, etc, endorses the chicago
platform and Bryan for President III
1900: denounces the Goebel election law
favors the regulation of railroads so as
to prevent extortion and condemns Nc
Kinley for alleged advancement of the
interests of the trust. Hon. Theodore
Hallam. of Kenton, nominated John
Young Brown for Governor and the nom
nation was made by acclamation. 81.
After the nomination of Brown the
convention adjourned until eight p. M,
when Brown accepted the nomination.
IThe entire ticket was nominated by ae-
clamation. The ticket is: #
John Young Brown, Jefferson, Cover
nor.
Major p. p. Johnston, Fayette, Lieu
tenant Governor.
Lawrence T. Tanner, Owensboro, At
torney General. ga
Frank A. Pateur, of Caldwell, Audi
tor.
John G. Droege, Kenton, Treasurer.
Howard l.. Hines, of Warren, Secre-
tary Of State.
Il. o. Guerrant, of Jessamine, Super
intendent of Public instruction.
G.. w. Vandevere, of Lincoln, Commits
sioner of Agriculture.
An interesting party question arose
soon after the nomination. The COM
mititee on organization brought iifs q
report in which it claimed tine Demo
cratic emblem. The Goebel following
will also claim it, and the matter may
have to be settled in court.
Anti Goebel men claim that as the
Louisville convention did not claim it,
their party may do so with legal pro-
priety. A formal claim will be made
to the Secretary Of State perhaps
tomorrow, and as he is a Republican,
he will probably grant it. The conven-
ton adjourned sine die ait 11:3O p. m.

the margin uncomfortable close. The
anti-Goebel managers assert that the es-
innate of an average loss of ten votes to
a district is too small. and claim his de-
feat by not less than $4,000
When these managers are asked why
they indorse an indep sndrnt ticket, wnen
such ticket may mean the election OF a
Republican governor. their answer is
prompt and plausible: "Goebcl will GER
tainly be defeated" 70 quote the words
of ex-Congressman Turner today; "and
if he is beaten without a bird ticket in
the field, the result viii: be claimed as
Republican victory With third
ticket, we have only to count up the
Democratic votes cast for both Goebel
and Brown, and show that they exceed
the Republican votes cast for Taylor,
in order to prove that Kentucky will be
safely Democratic in the Presidential
contest next year, when we will Eavc no
local troubles to divide orr party.
Other Democrats are very frank to say
that they cannot help it if Taylor is
elected. I'VE are not responsible" said
ex-Congressman Beckner. because such
a candidate as Goehel should never have
been nominated
While the anti Goebclites are gather
ing here in large numbers. Gcebel him
self is campaigning in lively fashion
through Western Kentucky, and is I'M
doubtedly meeting with enthusiastic re-
ceptions. He IS very confident of sue
cess, and despite all the predictions made
here tonight, has ground for his belief.
He is accompanied by ex-senator Black
burn, who is a powe" Of strength, while
there is hardly a Congressman in The
State who is not supporting him.
GOEBEL'S SIDE OF IT.
Ex-Congressman McCrcary, who is ON
the stump, predicts Goebel's election by
$4,000. One thing fiat helps 'Soebel is
his opposition to corporations, and par
ticularly the Louisville and Nashville
Railroad. The latter road is to a very
large extent back of the boiling move
ment, and its passes are numerously cir
culated Another element of strength is
the Goebel election law, which, it is es-
.timated, is worth at least 10000 votes
to the regular ticket.
/ lis a curious state of affairs when
the theft Of an entire State is coolly dis
cussed as a possibility, but his siuation
certainly exists The anti-Goebelites
claim. however, that the defeat of Goe-
bel will be so overwhelming that no
amount of manipulation can overcome 1t.
Goebel asserts that if it were not for
the law, the Republicans would steal the
State, and this argument is being used
with effect in the rural districts. He
also claims, and with some degree of
Justice, that if the law is Ubiquitous, the
legislature that enacted it is as much to
blame as himself.
The campaign is already reaching a
heated stage, and promises to be more
exciting as it progresses. 1t will be re-
markable if it concludes without trag-

REED MAY nor RETIRE.
Will Give UP Speakership, but May Re
main in Congress.
Baltimore SUM

Washington, Aug. Representative
Warner, of Illinois, spoke quite confident
liz today of his conviction that Mr..
Thomas 3. Reed does not intend to re-
tire from Congress, but only from the
Speakership. For some time past there
have been others here of the same line
of thought. The only one who can set
all doubts on the subject at rest is MIR.
Reed himself, and he seems to be no
more in a talking humor than before he
went abroad. AS for this, however,
there will be plenty of time for weeks to
come for Mr. Reed to announce his with
lrawal from Congress, if he has really
determined upon that step. OF course
there can be no question, SO far as the
Speakership is concerned, for, 1t is said,
all Of those, who entered the contest for
that office satisfied themselves personally
before doing so.
What strengthens the belief in the
probability that MIR. Reed may remain
in Congress is the fact that it can inter-
fere very little, if any, with the profess
sional connections he is reported to have
made. 1t is only FIVE hours between
Washington and New York and the luxu-
rious railroad facilities and conveniences
could run from one city to the other any
time it might suit. For that matter, q
man of Reeds assurance and resources
could stir up all the rumpus he wished
by making his appearance III the House
one or two days in the week. There
would be no difficulty in his keeping the
whole country talking the rest of the
wees about his performances.

fully aware how dearly he loves motto
riety, and how he enjoys the newspaper
comments on his brilliancy, his original
ity and his audacity. If he goes out Of
politics entirely he will miss all this for
the law, even should he go into the
courts, which is not at all probable, can
not possibly give him fraction of the
opportunities afforded by the floor e. the
House of Representatives. Some think
it not unreasonable to suppose that Mr..
Reed is not contemplating any great
amount of work in the law firm, which
it is said. he is to enter. The main
object of the firm is reported to get his
name; if his new associates will be con-
tent with that he certainly will have no
objection, as he has never been particu-
larry distinguished for industry.
In this matter Of securing what is re-
+garded as Il big name, it is astonsh-
ing what inducements are offered. Fire
quently much more is given for it than it
is worth Mr. Reed holds his pretty
high, but there is skepticism as to the re-
liability of the report that he is to re-
ceiye $4,000 year. He has been given
as much as $500 by magazines and news
papers for column article. He writes
them himself, however, which is more
than some other men with ''big" names
do. There have been frequent instances
where names have been signed to articles
which were written by others, and where
the real author did not receive one-tenth

TROUT HATCHERY.
One in the Mountains Of New Mexico
Would Pay.
Gel PasO Herald

\Li L uoo llpAuiu'J
The old paths Of business have be-
| come so overcrowded hat it may be
interesting to some to heal Of new ave
nues for productive industries in their
own locality. We are all to a large de-
gree initiative, and ever ready to follow
beaten paths; but the pioneer and build
| er in new and useful fields of endeavor
is the true helper and benefactor to
mankind, and has the opportunities to
| establish a lucrative business for him
self.
There is a chance for some enterpris-
| ing person to start a trout farm on one
of the streams in the White mountains
neal which the extension Of the Ell Paso
and Northeastern railroad Is being
built. There are several streams there,
including the Ruidosa, Bonito and Ea-
| gle creeks, which, by the fact that they
| afford good sport to the angler, is suffi-
| Gent proof Of their suitability for trout
farming. Trout fetches so cents a pound
in Ell Paso, and the demand is great,
and will be still greater as the town in
creases in size, as it is rapidly doing.
Obtaining the concession of one Of
the streams and stocking it for an
Cling would also prove remunerative, as
visitors to those parts are sure to be
numerous in the near future.
The culture of trout forms an inter-
esting study, and requires intelligence,
watchfulness and constant labor. First
of all. a hatchery has to be built. The
eggs are placed in trays, whose sides
and bottoms are made of wire netting
with meshes close enough to prevent
the eggs from falling through. These
trays are laid in the troughs in the
hatchery, 1900 eggs in each tray. Here
water of about 40 degrees temperature
flows with a movement too slight to
disturb them.
The trough is carefully covered up, as
it is essential to exclude the light. Here
the little eggs remain for a period OF
fifty days before the fish are Matched
At first it is little larger than a pin, bu
has attached to it a sack of nutrimen,
upon which it lives for six weeks, dur
ing which time it is still kept in dark
ness. They then see the light, and are
fed several times a day. The principa
food is pulverized liver, which in 6
semi-liquid form is sprayed upon tn
water. AS they become larger they arr
moved to the ponds in the creek, fed OF
liver and mush and caught by nets al
required.
When the season approaches TO,
spawning the trout Of one year and old
err are lifted by nets and placed in tubs
Here they are sorted, and the female
about to spawn are taken in hand, ant
by a gentle pressure Of the fingers dow
the body of the fish, relieves it of 1T
eggs. The male fish is then taken II
turn, and by the same method is re
lieved of it's fertilizing milt, and tn
eggs are ready for Matching.
!, A hatchery of so feet in length an
80 feet wide will hold 100000 eggs !
