Cotton and Cotton Seed.

Cotton is King again in the South,
but no small part of his success has
been attained by the uses to which cot
ton seed have been put. 1t has reach
ed the highest price ever known in the
history of the staple. Seed is scarce in
every part of the cotton district, and
in forecasting the crop of 1900 this
scarcity will play an important part.
Cotton seed is now selling at from 20
to $21 per ten, and the mill men are
securing the hills and bottoms for it.
The demand for cotton seed products
Is unprecedented, and the mills have
orders for oil, cake, meal and hulls far
beyond their capacity, and the present
outlook for market seed is so gloomy
that they are unable to supply either
American or foreign demands. It is a
strange fact that the planters of Texas
the greatest cotton producer in the
Union, should have agents in the dis
triet east of the Mississippi river buy
ing seed to enable them to plant their
ordinary crcp.

antly enough, but isn't this Congress

yes, madam" was the reply.
II thought so,' she continued. You

moment. while General Grosvenor also
waited.
General Grosvenor," said the lady,
with touch of timidity in her voice.
couldn't you give me a ticket OF ad-
mission to the gallories?"
Quite gallantly the Ohio congress-
man procured a card, filled it out and
signed his name. The lady went on
her way, rejoicing. General Grosven-

An Editor On His Daughters
Elopement.

Editor C. E. F. Miller, of the Dres-
den tO) Transcript printed the follow
ing article about his daughters elop-
ment
Quite surprise was sprung on the
people last Tuesday when the an
nouncement was made under triple
headlines and wired all over the
state of the eloping to Covington, KY,
Dec "a and marriage of Mr.. George P.
PETER, of Cass township, and Miss
Daisy NJ. Miller, of Dresden. daughter
of C. e. F. Miller.
Neither of the contracting parties
are spring chickens, ,fguratively speak
Ing, and no irate parent chased inem
with gun. They are both free born,
of lawful age and good report, and
there was no necessity of them going
to Kentucky to have the initiatory de-
gree conferred, except perhaps for the
novelty, when the great state of Ohio
is full of probate judges and ministers
aching to issue the necessary creden-
tials and confer the matrimonial de-
gree, plain or embellished.
Now the inquisitive people know
what we think of the situation and our
smooth son-in-law."

Highest Wage Rate Ever
Known.

An advance of 10 per cent in wages
to more than 10000 employees of the
National Tube Company is to take eff
feet April /. This is the second in
crease of 10 per cent granted by the
same company within six months and
makes the wages of common labor
higher than at any time within the
history of the works. The tendency
all over the country is to advance
wages to the highest point ever known
Not only that, but to give steady en-
ployment to by far the largest number
of wage earners ever found at one
time on the payrolls of the industrial
institutions of the United States. To
do just this thing was one among the
pledges made four years ago on behalf
of the party of Protection and sound
money. The Bryanites said it could
not be done, and that cheap dollar
was the only thing that would put an
end to the awful paralysis inflicted up
On the INDUSTRIES Vi the country as d
result of four years of Cleveland and
Tariff Reform. Mr. Mckinley said
that the first thing to do was to open
the mills. The country took this
view of the matter Result, the high
est rate of wages ever paid and the
largest amount CT steady employment
ever known by wage earners-Ameri-

CORBlN LITTLE
VIII Be Taken to the Athens hospi-

Corbin Little, who has attracted con-
siderable attention since he murdered
his brother-in-law, Wesley Springer,
in Grandview township, in January.
and who was adjudged insane by
Judge Nixon Thursday after an in
quest continuing several days, will be
taken to Athens by Sheriff McCallister
tomorrow and placed in the State hos
pital for treatment
Little has been confined in the coun-
ty Jail here ever since the day after
the murder and in most respects has
been a model prisoner. At times he
has shown evidence of insanity by his
talk and actions but he has been quiet

The New York Tunnel.

Today New York commences piece
of work that will rank with the most
famos engineering projects OF this en-
cheering age. The first shovelflil OF
earth will be thrown from the excava-
ton that Is to open the system of tun-
nels which will afford underground
rapid transit. The question of trans
portation has become one of the most
important in all large communities,
and the movements of people during
the busy hours OF the day has about
stalled the metropolis. Elevated trains
carry thousands of passengers daily,
surface roads follow each other so
closely that on the chief streets, cars
almost look like continuous process
sion. But the streets are constantly
congested with traffic. and there is
nothing to afford relief unless cars
are hauled beneath the surface or still
higher in the air. A gigantic under
ground system has been planned, and
the work of constructing the tunnel
/
will commence today.
There is little doubt of the success
of the venture. The tunnel can be
made, cars propelled in it, and much
of the traffic carried off the crowded
streets. Underground street roads are
not new. London has put the idea
into practice, and even slow and an
cient city like Constantinople has op-
Grated piece of underground road for
years. But the system that New York
has planned will be one of the most
complete, and will modernize the idea
of handling city traffic more than any
other unless it be Boston. The engin-
eering problems are scarcely new. Bal
timore carries on much of the steam
road traffic beneath the city in a high
ly satisfactory manner Nevertheless
the undertaking is big one, involv-
ing millions. and beyond the money
cost the comfort and convenience OF
millions of people. 1t is an especially
interesting work because of its magni-
tude.-Pittsburg Times.

The Dsacon's Dream.

May you take this lesson home
with You tonight, dear friends" con-
cluded the preacher at the end of a
very long and wearisome sermon.
And may its spiritual truths sink
deep into your souls and live to the
end that your souls may experience
salvation. We will now bow our heads
in prayer. Deacon White, will you
lead?"
There was no response.
Deacon White, this time in a loud
er voice. Deacon White. will you
lead?"
Still no response. IL was evident
that the Deacon was slumbering. The
preacher made third appeal and rails
ed his voice to pitch that succeeded
in awaking the drewsy man.
Deacon White. will you please
lead "
The Deacon opened his eyes and OPP
ened them wonderingly.
"Is 1t my lead? No-I just dealt"

French Revolution Methods in
Kentucky.

When Governor Taylor called out
the militia to meet the menace of a
real riot, Kentucky Gobelites howled
outrage" and intimidation but
Citizen" Beckham. in puerlle panic,
masses an armed mob at the capital in
frantic fear of an imaginary invasion,
and it is patriotism, "heroism" and
the isms in the catalogue oil real
craftsmanship Some day the cord
of public patience, drawn o'er taut
by this persistent pressure of SANDER
upon mountain manhood and persecu-
tion of Republican citizenship through
imported brokers in crime, will snap.
For this, added to wanton assassina-
ton of character by indscriminate ac-
cusation in public print suborned TO
SANDER, fast saps the fountain of en-
durance. And, when the storm does
break, there will be a clarification Of
the atmosphere throughout the old
Kentucky home by gale of loosened
indignation, before which scoundrel-
ism will do well to seek hiding and in
fanny to run to cover.
1t is not in the temperament Of an
enlightened and Independent people as
Kentuckians are to quietly endure
reign of French revolution, even in
miniature The days of the letter de
cachet are Of the past. They never
did exist in Kentucky and never will
be permitted. The citizenship of this
Commonwealth was given a touch of
it in the manner of arrest and incar-
ceration indefinitely of gentlemen ac-
cused without testimony. OF crime,
the commission of which was to their
own party and personal injury. There
is attempt to apply the system with
more rigor by process of secret trial
under military guard. To this end
menace is manufactured by slander of
mountain men and mendacious rumors
OF armed interference that common
sense would teach intelligent reason
was sheeTest nonsense.
All this is purposeful. 1t is not in
honest quest of either an assassin or a
conspirator to assassinate. 1t is in
sinister design TO despoil character and
fasten infamy upon innocence. The
conspiracy may succeed. With a brib-
cry fund OF 100000 and a past master
in corruption to direct its distribution,
it is possible. But il must be done in
the open, and no mob in uniform, call
ed together by pretending Governor,
will serve to intimidate popular deter
mination to protect citizenship from
carpet-bag outrage. II there is gull
ty man among the prisoners, let that
be shown and let him be punished. II.
there is known guilty man at large,
let him be arrested and convicted and
put TO punishment But let all be done
in seemlfness and in law, open, fair
and free.
That is the temper OF the people OF
Kentucky, Il is the spirit of the fore
fathers permeating the souls OF the
sons OF freemen born and freemen
bred. That Is, in essence. the message
Of the Liberty League. and II is not an
idle message ge.--cinelnnati Commercial

Grand Democratic Rally
For Hand County
Populists.
ALTGELD AT MILLER.
The Thin Disguise Of "Populism''
Boldly Cast Aside for Pure
Democracy.


The expected has happened.
The Peoples Party of Hand county
has faded away like the morning
mirage.
Nothing Is left OF the once party
OF reform except the initials =. p,
which stand for Pettigrew Pusey
party.
John L. Altgeli, OF Illinois, was
brought to Miller last Friday by Mr..
Pusey for the purpose OF making a
grand demonstration.
For ponulism, and reform? Not on
your life.
1t was democracy pure and simple !,
as Mr.. Altgeld Is a democrat OF ma
tjonal notoriety, and Mr.. Pusry is
chairman OF the democratic state
committee. The local John, with
other ,de motretic leaders, has been
quietly arranging for some time to
hand the remaining remnant of the
populist party over to democracy.
Friday nights demonstration was
net "A glowing, spectacular success,
as the dem ociats expected. The
torch light procession in honor Of
the event was a tame affair. There
were just 2S men carrying torches,
and number OF Youngsters ranging
from seven years to fourteen, with
two torches each and most of the
kids yelling for Mckinley. The pro
cess;on was headed by the st. Law
renee band. This part OF the pro-
gram was a sore disappointment to
the managers, as they hal sent many
letters to the faithful TO be present.
Instead OF 900 people from the
country, as they expected, d very
fair estimate would be 100. So 1t
would require u very extensive
stretch of the imagination for even
our fusion friends to call this grand
rally success eiuher in point ofnum-
bers or enthusiasm. There must be
a cause for this, as there are causes
for all things. True, farmers are
busy, but four years ago when Bryan
and free silver enthusiasm ran high,
or even two years ago, there would
have been n big enthusiastic crowd
here. The real reason must be found
in the passing OF the silver wave.
Bryan's prophesies were false, and
the farmers are leaving him.
The opera house was crowded
largely bv town people, to hear the
distinguished visitor.
Mr'Altgeld could readily be recog-
nized by any one familiar with po-
litical cartoons. He Is u man OF
medium size, close cropped whiskers,
and speaks tolel ably well, although
not an orator. He was once Cover
nor OF Illinois. but forparioning the
anarchists who murdered several
at the historical Haymarket disas-
ter, and other radical actions, he
went down to defeat under the con-
deunation of the people OF Illinois
He was also opposed to President
| Cleveland using federal troops to
quell mob violence in Chicago, and
became very radical on that cues
ton, which secured for him the critl
cism OF order loving aud law abid-
ing citizens all over the country.
1t must be said, however, that his
speech in Miller was surprise to
many who had heard OF him and hal
read his utterances in Chicago. II
