ALLEGED TO DE FROM ALTGELD.
A statement Wherein the Goebei
Ticket Is Scored.

A Statement wherein INC
Ticket Is Scored.
Louisville, Ky, August 9.-What pur'
ports to be statement from Ex-Governor
John p. Altgeld of Illinois on the political
situation in Kentucky is printed here. 1t
contains the following:
"If we are correctly informed on the
conditions in Kentucky, then the real
question presented is whether fraud, trick
cry, thuggism and crime shall be permit
ted to triumph; and inasmuch as these
elements can be controlled by corruption
lists the question broadens out and becomes
one of National Importance.
"For If these elements are to triumph
in Kentucky it means that they Will have
comparatively easy road TO traVel IN
other sections of the Union; and 1t means
that political conventions. instead of being
run by the people and carrying out the
policy and will of the people, Will be run
by men who betray the people ana VIII DC
controlled by those interests that plundel
the country.
Viewed from that standpoint, 1t is ap-
parent that the very existence OF the dem.
ocratic institutions is involved ana ina
consequently it is the DUTY OF every mar
who loves his country to do what he car
to crush out these conditions. But whethe

do themselves. II they show disposition
to rescue their State from the control o
rotten politics and they conclude that

over the country.
Looking at the situation from this dis
lance it seems to me as If new demo

it would result in bringing out full

The "Good Roads" Question.
fCommunicated,)

In view of the present inefficient
road system, judging from the condi-
ton of our roads last winter, it seems
strange that the plans of the Good
Roads Committee should have met
with such a reception on August court
day. The gentlemen comprising the
committee were not politicians, they
had no private interests in view apart
from other citizens of the county; they
received no pay for their services;
they had availed themselves of all the
information they could get from the
experience of other progressive states
which had adopted a similar law and
found it greatly to their advantage;
they had examined number of docu-
rnents bearing upon the subject, issu-
ed by the Department at Washington
and by various states; they had held
a number of meetings, and finally
agreed upon bill which they consid-
cred adapted to this county and which
would involve but a small percentage
of increase in taxation. while it would
do away with a great deal of the I'M
necessary and expensive machinery
connected with the present system.
Furthermore, they brought mem bel
of the U. s. Department of Good
Roads, to address the meeting at the
last court-day.
At this meeting the plan or bill was
read to the audience. 1t was at once
opposed and denounced by Bentor
Coiner, who has been opposed to th'
plan from it's inception, and who ha:
intimated that it was an attempt to
foist upon the citizens OF the county
bill most detrimental to their interest
and which they had not had the OPP
portunity to examine, ignoring tn
fact that a synopsis Of it had bee
published in the Daily News and I'll
| SPECTATOR several weeks before.
| After reply from Mr.. Eichelberger
one of the committee, and afew ques
tions from others in the audience,
vote was taken and the bill was defeat
ed amid shouts which would have lie
a stranger to infer that it representa-
great victory over corruption an
political trickery.
1t is hoped that {. plan will now +
formulated by those opposed to TIL
one which will deliver us from the il
tollerable roads of last winter, or d
away with the present road tax froI
which we derive so little permaner
benefit.

Anti-ImperiaIism in the South.

Anti-lmperlallsm In the SCUM.
A writer from Staunton In the New
York Post says:
If the people of the North aud West
have been led by Gen. Wheeler g 'stand
| by the administration speeches lpto
the belief that he represents the South,
either on expansion or the unreason-
| ing war now being made in the Philip
pines, they have been led astray. The
Republican party will not carry sim
gle congressional district in the South
next year on that issue. The South
has had practical, and 10 the most
thoughtful men, convincing expert
ence in being governed at long range.
Thirty years ago the South saw what
mistakes may be made by well mean
| ing men, and what the temptations OF
distance and complicated esponsibility
may change those men into. When the
Southern people recall the lamentable
errors committed by the national gov
eminent in the work of reconstructing
the governments of eight millions OF
English speaking white people, endow-
ed with Anglo-SaxOn patience and
common sense, they look forward with
| unaffected anxiety to a similar exper-
| iment made with race of entirely
different character and under less IA
vorab.a conditions.
| One does not have to go far for Incl
dents to illustrate the feeling on the
subject in the South, for the most pop
uIar man cannot give the appearance
of favoring it and escape criticism.
There is not more popular man in
Virginia today than John w. Daniel,
her senior Senator. Two months ago
he delivered an address at the com.
mencement exercises of the University
of Virginia, his theme being The
| COnQuering Nation" In it he took
the ground that the war in the Philip
pines, nos that it had been begun,
should be prosecuted to the crushing
oot of the rebellion" That was all;
but it has given chill to his popular
ity, and is bearing fruit in the recall
| ing of the fact that the President has
appointed some of Mr.. Daniels rela-
tives to army positions, and that in the
congressional campaign in this State
last gear Daniel made only one OF two
speeches, and in them handled the
President very gently. However un-
just these criticisms may be, they show
clearly that in the South the most pop
ular man, as in Mr.. Daniels case, can
not venture on a support, however
indirect, of McKinley's policy of ex-
pansion and subjugation, AMI escape
censure..

The MAN WHO WINS.

The man who wins is the man who does,
The man who makes things hum and buzz,
The man who works and the man who acts,
Who builds on a basis of solid facts;
Who doesn't sit down to NOPE and dream,
But humps ahead with the force of steam,
Who hasn't the time to fuss and fret,
But gets there every time-you bet
The man who loses is the man who talks,
Who fumbles and foOzles and trities and
balks.
Who wouldn't do anything today
That he can put off in the same old way;
Who's down on his luck and curses his fate,
And tries to catch fishes without any bait;
Who goes through life with a frown on
his face,
Convinced that the world is a mighty poor
place.
The man who wins iithe man who wears
A smile to cover his burden of cares;
Who knows that the sun will shine again,
That the clouds will pass, and we need the
rain;
Who buckles down to pile of work,
And never gives up and never Will snlrk
Till the task is done, and the toll made
rweet,
While the temples throb with the red
blood heat.
| The man who loses is he who means
That the way is rough and he breads the
stones;
Who Is looking for something soft to do,
Where the pay is big and the hours few;
| Who dreams of this and dreams of that,
But never sails in and throws of, his hat;
Who fears the feel of drop of sweat.
And neve gets anywhere-you bet
The man who wins is the man who climb
The ladder of life to the CHEEKY chimes
Of the bells of labor, the bells of toll,
And isn't afraid that his skin will spoil
If he faces the shine of the glaring sun
And works in the light till his task is done
A human engine, with triple beam
And hundred and fifty pounds of steam
