rates for advertising among the locals
which have obtained with this paper
since its foundation, will be rigidly ad
hered to, viz; TEN CENTS per line
for the first insertion and fUe cents per
line for each subsequent insertion of

contracts with the HERALD for regu-
lar advertising, will be, as heretofore,
allowed a uniform rate of FIVE CENTS

1t is said that Col. Waterson can
actually find standing room on the
platform adopted by the Democrats Of
Kentucky. We do not know that more
is necessary. Man and wife differ on
some things and yet agree to live and
love together. 1t ought to be so with
Democrats. They agree on too much
of vital interest to be kicking at each
other as to minor matters. Together

WASHINGTON LETTER.
ON our ReguIar Correspondent.

from our Regular Correspondent.
WASHINGTON, July II, 1899.
As though his announcement of his
determination to remain in the Cabinet
until after the first of next January
were not humiliation enough for Mr..
Mckinley, Secretary Alger has actually
had the gall to demand of Mr.. McKin-
ley that he make public a statement
DENYING that he would like Ayers
resignation. This is what the boys
call rubbing it in" on Mr.. Mckinley.
but those who think that Nh. McKin-
ley should have fired Alger when the
scandals Of the war with Spain first
became public, instead Of assisting in
having him whitewashed, and not in
clined to sympathize with his en-
barrassment at the demand. And,
there are quite number who are glad
the demand has been made. Mr..
Mckinley has, through close personal
friends, allowed the public to suppose
that he was anxious to have Alger
resign, but wished him to do so volun-
tarily. Now, it is up to him, to say
once for all, whether he wishes Alger
to remain in his Cabinet.
The law very plainly says that in
the absence Of both the Secretary and
the Assistant Secretary of War, the
General commanding the army shall
