en. p. wat Hardin IS quoted by

Gen. r. Wat Hardin is quoted by
several papers, including his home
papers, as saying:
because of bad leadership, be-
cause of un-Democratic measures,
because of actions which the party
cannot defend, but for which it is
now proposed to make it RESPONSE
Bile, we have lost Kentucky. If it Is
to be regained we must act now, act
promptly and act decisively; we
must so act as to make it clear that
Goebeism is not Democracy. y
Gen. Hardin must refer to 1895.
That was the year in which "we
lost Kentucky" The Legislature
at least was saved last year and
the Legislature will soon decide
whether or not Kentacky elections
are to be held according to law.
AS Bryan says, no question is ever
settled until it is settled right.

ALMOST A GORGE.
Business Suspended on Account of
Heavy Ice Flow.

Business on the Ohio River has
been entirely suspended on account
of the heavy flow of ice, which all
most amounts to a gorge. Neither
freight nor passenger traffic has
moved, and all ferry boats are tied
up, Everything in the shape Of
water craft has sought cover and
it is hardly likely that there will be
a movement for some time.

the field by growing small grain or

The opinions if Henry NJ. Teller
and E. o. Wolcott, Colorado's SEN
ators, are decidedly al variance on
the currency bill. Woicott claims
to be b.,nctallisi, while Teller
says: "No man who voted for the

himself bimetallist." The senior
senator is right in this instance as
in large majority of others.

The time is nearing when another
example of the rank injustice OF the
electoral college will be brought
yividly before the people. Popular
vote for president or United States
senators is simply a nake-believe.
If has very little to do with the
election of either. The president
and senator's should be elected by a
direct vote of the people. 1t would
cause far less corruption and be
more in keeping with government

The same arguments that are used
in favor Of the Puerto Rican bill
might be applied with equal con-
sistency to the various states of the
union. If a country taken by con-
quest and ruled by the government
Of the United States, should pay a
duty Of IS per cent. on goods iin.
ported from the United States, then
each and every state should pay the
same duty on goods shipped from
one state to the other. The com.
parison is identical. Possibly this
is what the Republicans intend shall
be the final result and the Puerto
Rican bill is only preliminary
measure.

how the poor people are to patron
ize home industry and talk it up

There is no man or woman so poor
that they cannot do their part in

soldier was inclined to falter be-
cause he did not have a sword burn
ished and frescoed the same as the
king had. He bemoancd his fate
so much that when the day came to
do battle he took one look at his
rusty. broken blade and fed to the
rear. In personal contact with the
enemy the king lost his sword and
was about to lose the day when he
saw the broken blade the soldier
had discarded, picked it up, and
pushing to the front won the battle.
