Again, thousands Of dollars are
wasted annually, we say wasted,
because it is nothing less, by pay
ing out enormous freight bills.
This can be avoided, and our peo-
pie have an opportunity at this very
moment. Judge H. Clay Mckee
has firm that will give us another
connection, and it is with us to
have it, By investing a small
amount, subscription can be
raised which will induce these peo-
pie to run a line from Mt. Sterling,
connecting with the l., and Z. at
some point between Clay City and
L. and E. Junction. Such a con-
nect:on would produce competi-
ton, and in a few years by such
freight savings STOCKHOLDERS Woulu
be reimbursed for the amount sub
scribed, and yet would hold first
mortgage for money invested in
bonds Of the road. The PROPOSE
ton is a fair one, and the people
should not even wait for Judge
Mckee to call on them, but at
once go to him and subscribe until
the needed amount is raised. We
are anxious for railroad connec-
ton producing competition. and
will continue to discuss the matter
until we have the same freights as
Winchester, Lexington, and Louis
vile. Then we would know what
prosperity, what hustle in Mt.
Sterling would mean.

towns.
1t was only Saturday we were
in Shelbyville, one Of our old,
time towns, which is in close proX-
unity with Louisville, our great
metropolis, and had expected to
see the sameness Of years past, be-
cause of the sapping influences OF
the great city; but instead of this,
to our surprise, we looked out on
Nan almost new city. The town
had heightened, had broadened;
old houses had been torn down
and Ns[e replaced with modern
ones; b&Siness, instead of being
confined to. one street, had fine
trade on othekS, and the saw and
Ratchet gave sweet music to the
enterprising and ambitious listen
ers. The Tevis School on the
slope had undergone many changes
and is now an object Of beauty.
Then there is the Stewart school
property having changed owner
ship, Rev. J. f. Num- becoming
the possessor. This building has
been enlarged and beautihed un-
til it is now one Of the largest and
most attractive school buildings in
Kentucky We noticed new mills.
water, electric and gas plants, and
new stores by the score. Pausing
to consider why it was thus, we
did not have to inquire Of many
before we learned it was due to
waterworks and increased railroad
facilities.
We have recited the above as an
object lesson. If Shelbyville, min
us the backing Mt. Sterling has
from Eastern Kentucky, and with
her disadvantages by being near a
great city can prosper as she has
and is now, what would Mt. Sterl-
ing do with more railroad facilities
and with waterworks. The Coun-
Gil, if they would show public
spirit must again present the ques-
ton of constructing waterworks,
and if the people would invest in
what would improve our town and
make it a great city they would

Before the Democracy we have
given both the preamble and reso'
buttons of what we are pleased to
term an anti-Goebel meeting Court
day in this month. In all closely
fought battles there are dissatisfied
elements. We had those charac-
tiers here. They had favorite,
and were enthusiastic in his inter-
ests. They believed he could win;
that justice favored his nomination,
but alas their expectations went to
pieces like waves on the breakers.
Goebeps perfect organization was
more than a match for the out
numbering and opposing forces.
Like Ex-Governor Proctor Knott,
in his contest with Col. Thomas
Jones, he gained point by point
until he cleared the board. Long
more, in his contest with Mat
Adams for the nomination for
Clerk of the Court of Appeals, did
the same thing. 1t was organiza-
ton against numbers, and the re-
suits were no more than what
might have been expected.
There are dissatisfied forces.
They remind us Of similar forces
in 1896. who severed their con-
nection with the Democratic party.
The result of that new organization
is fresh in our minds.
By it the Republicans cap
turad Kentucky, and some Of those
who led these forces are willing to
return and contribute of their pow
ers to the success Of the same party,
with the same platform they
fought. Should not this be
sufficient argument for the oppos-
ing forces Of to-day?
. .. In the preamble adopted at the
anti-Goebel meeting Court day
there were some serious charges,
but it matters not now how many,
Or if all Of these charges are true.
any attempt at correction would
be disastrous to the party. A de-
vision would be party loss.
There are two platforms and two
parties.
Democrats have taken position
On the tariff, it is positive. Free
silver is a plank in their platform,
md on this they are pronounced.
They, in their opposition to the
Republican party become opposed
% concentrated capital in its effort
% further crush the laborer. The
:rusts and combines of to-day are
our foes, and their legal existence
vas created by the Republican
party.
We know the dissatisfied ele-
nent are yet susceptible to rea-
ION, and we also know if they in
heir madness, will consider for one
Jingle moment they will recognize
he powers forcing this issue be-
ween Democrats. On the train a
ew days ago minister appealed to
ny moral proclivities, and asked

w. Jennings Bryan is a danger,
Gus man to his opponents; because
he is great man, with his heart
close to the people. His interests
are theirs, and as it is with Mr..
Bryan so it is with Senator Goebel.
His political foes in the Republi-
can party realize his powers, and
it is they who are adding fuel to
the flames. Mr.. Bryan is moving
right into the Presidency, and SO
is Mr.. Goebel into the Governors
chair. Republicans in efforts to
dissatisfy Democrats strengthen
our cords, solidify our forces, force
to renewed labor, more powerful
orga nization, and make an ex,
hibit Of their. weakness and fright.

To Enter State Mornal.

Bernard Murphy, of Vinton, was in
the city yesterday and stated to re
porter for the Republican that Linnie
Haguewood, the wonderful little blind
girl. who, through her accomplishments,
has come to be known all over the
country, and especially by every reader
of newspaper in Iowa, and who hgs
made wonderful progress during the
past few years under the instruction OF
Miss Donald. would be placed in tue
State Normal school at Cedar Falls next
week. The girl has reached that age
and has advanced to that point in her
education where it is desirable to have
her mingle with an older and more adj
vanced class of associates than she
meets in the blind asylum at Vinton.
Miss Dora Donald will accompany her
to the State Normal school, and accom-
pany her to the class rooms, conveying
to her lessons that the others take. 1t
is intended for her to take up many of
the advanced studies of the common
schools and it is believed that year of
such work will see even more rapid
strides than in the past and see her mind
wonderfully developed at the end Of the
year. MIR. Murphy recently visited the
staae board of control and asked for the
1876 quarterly allowance which is paid
to each inmate of the college for the
blind to help pay for her board at Cedar
Falls. The board referred the matter
to Attorney General Remley for an
opinion, and he reported adversely,
holding that she was not an inmate
Mr.. Murphy stated, however, that the
money would be secured some way and
that the little unfortunate would be
kept at the State Normal the ensuing
year. Linnie Haguewood is now at her
home in Manchester.-Cedar Rapids
