His Trip to England.
Dwight L. Moody first became known
to the world at large when early in the
seventies he went to Great Britain with
Ira ID. Sankey, the singer. Mr.. Moody's
plain, straightforward talk and the sill
yer tongue of Mr.. Sankey attracted the
attention of thousands who had never
before thought of higher things, and the
meetings held by the two evangelists
were the subject of extensive newspaper
reports and editorial comment. Their
work across the water ceased in 1874,
and they returned to this country and
began campaign of evangelical work
in America. But long before Mr..
Moody's first visit to Great Britain he
had accomplished great work.
He was born in Northtield, Mass,
Feb. 5, 1887. In 1856 he went to Chi
cago, and while engaged there in active
business entered zealously into mission
ary work among the poorer classes.
During the Civil war he was in the
service OF the Christian commission.
and afterward became missionary
OF the Young Mems Christian associa-
ton of Chicago.
In addition to the many printed ac-
counts of his meetings and reports of his
addresses, Mr.. Moody has published
Heaven, 1880; ''Secret Power" 1881;
and "Way to God and How to Find It."
His home was always at Northfield,
Mass. Two years ago Moody stirred
New York City to its depths by a pro-
tracted series of evangelistic meetings,
during which many conversions were
made. Among the monuments to pos
terity left by the great evangelist is the
Moody Bible institute established few
years ago.

Dwight l.. Moody, the famous evasgel-

What Goebelism Means.

The cohorts and paid emissaries OF
the Louisville and Nashville railroad
have sent out the cry that "Goebelism
must be stamped out" Before the peo-
pie take up that cry 1t is well for them
to consider what "Goebelism" means.
1t means that a man of brains will
be governor Of Kentucky.
1t means that the seat of Joe Black
burn in the senate will be triumphantly
restored to him.
1t means that Kentucky's electoral
vote will not be stolen from Bryan in
1900 as ii was in 1896.
II means the winning by Democracy
Of the first skirmish in the great strug-
gle that must be fought to a finish next
year.
II means that the school books which
must be bought by the people for the
100000 school children of the state will
be reduced in price at least 40 per cent.
II means that no unlawful trust shall
rob the people of Kentucky.
II means the protection OF the people
against unjust discrimination and I'M
due aggression of corporate power.
That is what Goebelis,n means, and
every enemy of the Democratic party is
crying stamp II out" but they are the
same Influences that cried out against
Organism in 1896 and will be crying
out against Bryan in 1900.

man could go to sleep with absolute
assurance that the promise would be
kept to the very letter. On another
occasion Brown said Goebel can write

COILS on The TRUST
Have In Their Embrace the Taypay-
ers of the Blue Grass State.
REPUBLICANS RESPONSIBLE.
Chinn School book BIN Would Have
Rescued Kentucky From the
Grasp of the American
Book Company.

The school book bill which was de-
feated in the last legislature by tn,
solid Republican vote was intended t
rescue Kentucky from the coils Of tn,
American Book company, of which
Judge Beckner wrote this few months
ago:
The Standard Oil company 1.
the only trust In the world thai
equals the American Book company
In the amount Of capital invested
and the unscrupulousness Of the
methods employed to control, with
out a rival. the business in which
1t is engaged"
Now Judge Beckner Is found on the
stump denouncing the Democrats who
endeavored to secure the passage OF
the Chinn school bill. One unfortu-
nate characteristic of the Judge is. that
he fails to find anything good IN what
any other person attempts 10 do for the
school children Of the state. In his
speech he says that the bill does not
select the school books to have any
special qualifications for that work. In
this he is mistaken. The bill says the
commissioner
shall be chosen with special refer
ence to their scholarly and business
qualifications. one member to be
chosen from each appellate district and
not more than three Of them to belong
to the same political party"
The judge says the present law Is all
right because he wrote II and put in q
provision which requires each publish
er who furnishes books for any county
In the state to give bond in the sum
of SIC. 900 that he will sell his books as
cheaply in Kentucky as in another
state. Such provision Is found in the
law, but for some reason the author
of the law failed to have II say who
could sue on the bond II II should be
violated. and to whom the money re-
covered should be paid. The school
book trust is not afraid of such bond
as that. Ii Il well known that school
books are sold In states which have a
law similar to the Chinn bill from 40
to 80 per cent less than tie same books
are sold In Kentucky. and nobody has
ever heard OF the Republican attorney
general, who now wants TO be governor.
suing on one of those $4,000 bonds
which Judge Beckner 30 prudently pro-
vided for. but which are Of no more
value than blank sheets OF paper. Look
at your school books and you will find
that they are furnished by the Ameri-
can Book company, which Judge Beck
ner so justly denounced only few
months ago. Compare the prices paid
here with the prices paid in Indiana
and the maximum prices fixed by the
Chinn bill. and then determine by your
votes whether you will trust the Dem
ocratic party or the Republican party
to regulate the cost of your school
books.
At Owensboro a few days ago Mr..
Taylor was shown a copy OF Montgom-
ery's History, which sells for 65 cents
In Indiana and for 81 in Kentucky.
and was asked to show II there was
any difference between the two books,
and he failed to refer 10 the matter in
his speech. The Republican orators
and their aiders can't meet the facts
which the Democrats present In their
fight against the book trust.
